Performance Evolution

The term coworking

was coined by Bernie DeK-

oven in 1999. Coworking as

we know it today involving

a physical space started in

2005 when Brad Neuberg

used the term to describe a

physical space where inde-

pendent and mobile work-

ers came together to work

in a casual environment.

It is based on the premise

that people are stronger

together; sharing knowl-

edge and experience, shar-

ing builds community that

gets everyone urther aster

by leveraging collective

genius.

Deskmags 2nd annual

Global CoWorking Survey

shows the number o co-

working spaces has nearly

doubled each year since

2006. Coworking spaces

are now widespread in the

United States and Europe

and still growing.

Coworking space is more

than just a sharing o

common ofce and goes

ar beyond the Dilbert

cubicles.

Coworking space pro-

vides opportunities or

individuals or companies

that might not yet or

ever fnd their way into a

traditional incubator.

Dennis E. Powell in hisbook titled Coworking

Space: The Business o

Serendipity, states, In an

era o lives lived via social

media, what could be more

natural than social work-

ing, where people in unre-

lated businesses encounter

others in the workplace,

sometimes with serendipi-

tous results?

It used to be inormal:

People rom dierent es-

tablished or up-and-coming

businesses would run into

each other in the coee

room, the copy center or,

apocryphally, at the wa-

ter cooler. Ideas would be

hatched, deals made, people

in disparate lines o workwould discover how they

might aid each other in new

projects.Then came the rise o

the premium coee shop.Writers and poets hadalways ound restaurants

and bistros hospitable totheir muses much o theHarry Potter series obooks were written in suchplaces but the addition oInternet service made them

riendly locales or proes-sionals rom other felds.

Freelancers, entrepre-neurs, serial entrepreneursthinking o their nextbusiness, displaced execu-tives, people in proessional

services, all o them oundthis need as creatures towork around other humanbeings, said Je Joerling,brand evangelist at NBIApartner Turnstone, the

ofce design and urnitureinnovations company.

The SEED Center Busi-

ness Incubator opening in

August houses more than

1,800 square eet o cowork-

ing space. This frmly

places Southwest Louisiana

on the cutting edge o in-

novation and entrepreneur-

ship.

Investors will be watching Altria

Group's financial report card for cluesas to whether its top-selling Marlboro

brand can keep its command of the

market. The premium Marlboro

brand has been under pressure fromlower-priced cigarettes as consum-

ers face economic stress and high

unemployment.

slumping sales as more consumers

buy electronics from onlinemerchants like Amazon.

New CEO Joe Magnacca, who

took the post in February, has

changed some merchandise

offerings and revamped about 5percent of the retailer's 4,400 stores

to make them airier, less cluttered

and more family-friendly. Will theelectronics retailer's second-quarter

Magnacca's strategy is paying off?

Starbucks consistently draws its share

of java junkies, but investors are

hooked, too. The coffee chainsshares are up 30 percent this

year and hit an all-time-high of

$69.90 last week.

But is the stock too hot totouch now?

I would wait for a pullback, or a

wider margin of safety, says R.J.

Hottovy, a financial analyst atMorningstar. The stock is trading

just below $70, which is his

estimation of a fair value for the stock.

Even so, with the market at record highs,Starbucks could climb further. Starbucks stands to

benefit from an improving economy and housing

market, which makes consumers more likely to

spend on items like a 20 oz. cup of coffee.The chain is also making moves to grow beyond

its coffee business. Last year, Starbucks

introduced a single-serve coffee machine and

acquired tea shops, bakery chains and a bottledjuice company. The plan: To operate the chains as

stand-alone businesses, but also to expand the

food options in Starbuck locations. The strategy

recognizes the increased competition for coffee

drinkers from rivals such as McDonalds andDunkin Brands.

Starbucks real growth opportunity is overseas.

Only a fraction of its revenue comes from Asia,

where most of the worlds population resides.Hottovy says roughly three-fourths of revenue now

comes from the Americas, 9 percent from Europe

and 5 percent from Asia.

CUSTOM BUILT TRANSMISSION

Keep your transmission cool

Pictured above are Brian, Judy, and Danny Cormier. Stop by and allow them to assist you with all yourtransmission needs.

Danny and Judy Cormieropened Custom Built Trans-missions in January 1998with more than 30 yearsof automotive transmis-sion diagnostic and repairexperience. They are afamily owned and operatedbusiness striving to offerpersonalized service to their

customers treating them withhonesty and fairness. Trans-mission repair and serviceincludes free road tests andestimates. Ask about warran-ties for up to 3 years/100,000miles.

Summer is here and we areall looking forward to thosesummer vacations. Get yourcar ready for that vacationand have your transmis-sion serviced. Heat can be atransmissions worst enemy.The transmission will lastlonger if you can reduce theheat that builds up duringnormal operation. Avoidhard accelerations, whichcan cause friction and heat.

Starting off easy will not onlysave on gas, but add longevityto your transmission.

Help your transmissionshift. Friction and wear inthe transmission primarilytakes place during the shifts.

Just before the shift, back offon the gas just a little, elimi-nating some of the friction.

Maintain the cooling sys-tem. The radiator providescooling for your transmis-sion. Heat damage can occurlong before the engine startsoverheating. Regular mainte-nance on the cooling systemwill help your transmissionrun cooler and last longer.

Add a transmission cooler.

Excessive travel in hightemps, pulling or carrying

a load can put an extreme

amount of wear on your

transmission.

BUSINESS

ix months havepassed sinceRepublican Rep.Charles BoustanyJr., R-Laayette,

was re-elected or a fth termin a re-confgured 3rd congres-sional district.

Boustany talked to theAmerican Press about whathes accomplished and what hehopes to achieve or the rest othe term.

l

American Press:So farthis term, what are some ofthe things that youve beenfocused on within the HouseWays and Means Committee?

Rep. Charles Boustany: I

chair the subcommittee onOversight on the House Waysand Means Committee andthere have been two majorocal points or me. One hasbeen working on our broad taxreorm eorts to lower ratesand simpliy the tax code tomake it much more simpli-fed and air to the taxpayer.Secondly, Ive been a leader onthe IRS investigation. I startedthis investigation 2.5 yearsago and it has led to some verydisturbing revelations aboutserious mismanagement atthe IRS, as well as intimida-tion practices and abuse oa number o groups seekingtax exemption status as wellas abuse o taxpayers doing

unwarranted audits. So, werecontinuing that investigationand thats going to take sometime going orward. Those arethe two areas that were reallyocused on.

The third on the Ways andMeans Committee is my workon the trade subcommittee.Were working on the Trans-Pacifc Partnership as well asthis new agreement with theEuropean countries. This willoer tremendous opportunityor Louisiana businesses toexport to those countries. Itmeans business or the Porto Lake Charles and or ourenergy sector as well.

l

Have you been able to

tout the economic benets ofLNG on Capitol Hill consider-ing whats going on in yourdistrict?

Theres no question about

it. In act, I was invited to an

international energy summit

in Canada to participate on

whats going on with energy

policy in the United States.

And my ocus was promoting

LNG exports and the benefts

o that. Also, Ive given one

speech that was hosted by a

think tank on energy regard-

ing LNG exports and next

week I will be speaking again

at a think tank in Washington

as part o a panel discussion

promoting LNG exports and

the advantages. Probably, iyou look at the House o Rep-

resentatives Im one member

that has the expertise on that

issue. LNG exports are very

benefcial or the U.S. in terms

o its trade balance. It has pos-

itive geopolitical implications

or our oreign policy. But also,

its great economics or us in

Southwest Louisiana.

With this new term came anew district. Your territory hasexpanded and changed. Howhave you been able to adaptto the new district within thisnew term?

Constituent outreach is oneo the most important thingsthat we do in our ofce. I havedone a total so ar o seventown hall meetings. Three othose were in the new districtin St. Martin parish, St. Maryparish and Iberia parish.Three were in Lake Charles,Iberville and Laayette. Wedid one in Crowley as well.Were doing a very vigorousoutreach into the new districtto get to know not only electedofcials but business ownersand concerned citizens. I havedone one telephone town hallper month many o thesehave been targeted into thenew district. On average, wehave 32,000 people on thesecalls. I have hosted events orhurricane preparation andtalked about ood insuranceproblems in the new district,

which is aected by this.Were doing a very vigorousoutreach to address the issuesconcerning the new part aswell as the old part o thedistrict but also learn in greatdetail the problems acing the

new district. Whether it beood insurance, or coastalrestoration those types oissues.

Over the past several years,and more recently, there havebeen several bureaucraticsetbacks with the VA clinicsin South Louisiana. What hasbeen your role in making per-manent VA clinics a reality inLafayette and Lake Charles?

Well, getting VA clinics inLake Charles and Laayettehas been one o my top priori-ties since I got into Congressin 2005. And youre correct,weve had serious bureaucrat-ic delays. One by the VA itseland the second one by theCongressional Budget Ofce.Last week, I testifed in ronto the House VA Committee totalk about these and proposesome potential solutions goingorward.

I recently sent a letter toHouse and Senate leader-ship both Republican andDemocrat in the House andSenate. Weve had 66 othermembers o Congress bothin House and Senate as parto my letter outlining a pathorward, so that the leader-ship could actually moveorward not only on the LakeCharles and Laayette clinicsbut also the other clinics thathave been delayed around thecountry. What the Congres-sional Budget Ofce has doneis basically eliminated anypossibility o moving orwardon these clinics plus all utureclinics unless we resolve this.

So, the House and Senateleadership need to step upand move in a direction Iveoutlined or them. We have toget this done.

The other thing weve

done is weve raised the level

attention o this issue at the

national level. I was able to get

CBS News to begin an investi-

gative report. They traveled to

Lake Charles and interviewed

veterans and those concerned

with the delays. Ive also done

interviews with CBS News. We

expect that investigative re-

port will be aired airly soon.

Im not going to stop until we

get high-quality care or our

veterans and we get these clin-

ics completed.

Moving forward within thisnext year and a half is thereany specic legislation thatyou would like to see on theforefront?

Yes, Ive been working on

the tax reorm eorts, andIm in the process o writinga bill. That is apart o thecommittee work Im doing. Ihave a couple o bills that arereally important to businessesaround Louisiana and thecountry. Ive had a bill lastCongress and this Congressthat would kill the employermandate in Obamacare. TheObama administration fnallycame to the recognition andrealization (recently) that theemployer mandate is killing

jobs in this country. Its caus-ing small business to lay opeople and to not hire. Theydelayed the implementationor one year. The bottom lineis that we need to repeal thisprovision at the very least inot repeal all o Obamacare,which has been my stance. So,this is a top legislative priorityor me to get this provisionrepealed because its hurting

jobs in this country. Weve gota 1.8 percent economic growth

in the frst quarter o theyear. Unemployment remainshigh and a big part o that isObamacare and the employermandate the requirement toprovide insurance otherwisepaying a penalty is one o themain reasons were seeingthis.

The second one deals with

Obamacare as well its the

health insurance tax that is

apart o Obamacare. This is a

tax thats going to run up the

cost o premiums or amilies

and small businesses across

this country. It is going to have

a real, severe impact on Loui-

siana amilies. I oered a bill

to repeal this health insurance

tax. We have over 220 cospon-sors o the bill in the House,

and I think about one-third o

the Senate is on the bill. So,

we need to move orward on

that as well. And those are two

big legislative proposals that

I have.

The third one is as we em-

bark in trade policy we need to

make sure that our trade laws

are enorced. We dont want to

see oreign competitors com-

ing in and breaking the law

and bumping their goods in

our marketplace. I have a key

bill that basically improves

our enorcement mechanisms

in these trade agreements.

Youre pushing these

repeals of these provisionswithin Obamacare but witha Democratic leadership inthe Senate as well as Obamain the White House do youthink its even possible tohave enough bipartisan sup-port to make that happen?

Well, Ill tell you this. In the

last Congress I started an e-ort to repeal the CLASS (Com-

munity Living Assistance

Services and Supports) Act,which was a new long term

care entitlement in Obama-

care, and I built up a numbero cosponsors in the House.

A bill to repeal it passed in

the House. Then, based onOversight worked that took me

nine or 10 months I was able to

convince the Obama adminis-tration that the program was

unworkable. They then put it

on hold indefnitely. And sub-sequently, the Senate picked it

up and got interested in it. We

did, at the very beginning othe year repeal it completely.

Thats the biggest deeat to

Obamacare to date. It has been

a major achievement. This

is probably the frst time an

entitlement program has been

repealed in our ederal system.

And I think its a model or

how to get the rest o this

done. Because o the work Ive

been doing on the employer

mandate is partly what orced

the administration (recently)

to put a one-year delay on theimplementation o a piece o

Obamacare.Conventional wisdom

would let you think its goingto be very difcult to get thesethings done with Obama in the

White House and Democratsin the Senate, but Ive been

able to show a pathway o howto do it and Ive been success-ul with it. Now, well try toollow that same pathway withthe employer mandate. I wecant repeal the whole thingthan we have to go or chunkso it and this is the way to doit. Ive provided leadership onthis health care eort to roll itback.

Within the past severalmonths the DOW has beenon the rise and jobs are beingcreated within the nation what do you think thats atestament to?

Well, part o this is that

the ederal reserve by keeping

interest rates low ... its ueled

some o the stock marketinvestments. But the basic un-

derlying act in the economyis that we still have problems.

One o the truly bright spots

in our economy has been oiland gas production through

unconventional shale plays.

Obama administration has notbeen too enthusiastic about

this and has taken steps that

will hurt it. Despite all thatthis has moved orward. Loui-

siana has been a leader and

thats kept the stock marketup and its kept our economic

growth rom alling back to

the point where were in arecession. Energy policy and

trade policy also ... and export

have also helped uel some o

the growth and jobs that haskept us out o recession.

But we still have ar toomany people who are unem-

ployed. We have a lot o people

who have quit looking orjobs. Its especially prevalent

in our youth our recent

college graduates and thatstroublesome. We need good

policies that will promote our

economic growth, promotethe creation o value in the

private sector that will then

create jobs that will create agood, healthy, vibrant Ameri-

can economy.

Six months into his fifth term,this La. Republican representativehas had tax reform, VA clinics, Obamacare

and international trade on his plate

Ive had a bill lastCongress and thisCongress that wouldkill the employermandate in Obam-acare. The Obama

administration fnallycame to the recogni-tion and realization(recently) that theemployer mandateis killing jobs in thiscountry. Its causingsmall business to lay

o people and to nothire.
