US Needs Plan To Tame Debts Soon, Experts Say
WASHINGTON, Dec 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. government must craft a plan next year to get its ballooning debt under control or face possible panic in fi nancial markets, a biparti-san panel of budget experts said in a report on Monday.
Though the government should hold off on immediate tax hikes and spending cuts to avoid harming the fragile economic recovery, it will need to make such painful changes by 2012 in order to keep debt at a manageable 60 percent of GDP by 2018, according to the Peterson-Pew Commission on Budget Reform.
Without action, investors could lose confi dence in the United States, driving down the dollar and forcing up interest rates, said the former lawmakers and budget offi cials who crafted the report. That could cause a sharp decrease in the country’s standard of living.

President’s Message

Recently I spent a weekend visiting the town where I grew-up: Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Yes, the former home of Rolling Rock Beer (recently purchased by Anheuser-Busch) and home of golf legend Arnold Palmer. It was an experience visiting a place that I knew so well as a kid, but seldom visit today since none of my family lives there now. It was fun taking my kids around and showing them my old stomping grounds: the elevated four-track railroad line that connects Pittsburgh to Philadelphia that we gravitated to as kids, the parking area around the Rolling Rock brewery that was great for bike-riding, and my elementary school playground that was directly across the street from the brewery. There were days on the play-ground where the air was so thick with the rather putrid smell of brewing hops that I told myself there was no way I would ever drink Rolling Rock beer! Of course, I had a different view of the world once in college, and am actually quite fond of the brew, especially with a twist of lime!
The most disturbing part of the trip was discovering that my childhood home and family’s former business is now sitting empty and neglected. Our business was Bement’s Flower Shoppe and we lived on the second fl oor above the storefront. The same year I started college at the University of Cincinnati, my parents decided to sell the business along with the name and move to North Carolina. For the next 20 years, Bement’s Flower Shoppe continued to thrive. Recently how-ever, for reasons still unknown, the doors were shuttered, the sign removed, and landscaping allowed to whither away. Driving down the street and seeing the 140 year-old structure in that condition made me want to lobby to have it placed on the “Most Endangered Architecture” list. It was an empty feeling because a piece of architecture that was an important part of my past is no longer important to anyone. Hopefully someone new will see it as an opportunity in the future.
It’s amazing how architecture is such an inherent piece in the construct of our memories. We are attached to places emo-tionally, the impression they make on us and how we choose to remember them. A familiar scent or sound can instantly take us back to a fond place and time in our minds.
Speaking of impressionable places, our family fi nished our Pennsylvania reunion tour by visiting Fallingwater. It was the height of the fall season: the air was crisp, the sunlight warm and soothing and the home was just as depicted in all of the coffee table books: hovering gracefully amidst the autumn leaves. What I found most enjoyable was watching my 10 year old son Isaac’s reaction to the house. In fact, his experiential appreciation of the home was strongly linked to the Lego model of it he had seen in the gift shop immediately before the tour. Since Isaac’s life pretty much revolves around Legos, the sheer fact that the Lego company had designed a model of the home made the signifi cance of the architecture that much more impressive to him. I believe that as Isaac toured Fallingwater, he was imagining himself inside the Lego model while simultaneously experiencing the real thing.
As architects and designers, we have such an important role in making spaces and forms that shape the memories for others. That in itself is one of the many rewards of the profession. On days when you may question your sanity for choosing a life in design, remember that your passion for what you do will make a lasting impression on those who are destined to experience it. Enjoy every minute of it!

“We will be less free if we don’t tackle this,” said Jim Nussle, a Republican member of the commission who earlier served as a White House budget director and chairman of the budget committee in the U.S. House of Repre-sentatives.
The 34-member commission published its re-port as Congress was poised to raise the debt limit from its current $12.1 trillion level to allow the government to continue operating.
The national debt has more than doubled since 2001, thanks to the worst recession since the 1930s, several rounds of tax cuts and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A looming wave of retirements over the com-ing decade is expected to make the situation worse.

Annual Sponsor Picnic Submitted by Jane Treiber, Executive Director
Siebenthaler’s Park-Like Set-ting Scene of Annual Sponsor Picnic
AIA Dayton’s annual Sponsor Ap-preciation Picnic was held at the Siebenthaler Cabin in Beavercreek on September 17 and was attended by 55 AIA Dayton members, guests and sponsors. Perfect weather, pre-din-ner libations, and a great grilled steak dinner contributed to the evening’s success. All the AIA Dayton Platinum, Gold and Silver sponsors in attendance were recognized and certifi cates presented. Jeff Siebenthaler, a Professional Af-fi liate member of the Chapter, and the designers and crew and Duck Patrol of The Siebenthaler Company were gracious hosts. In a year such as this, when many architectural fi rms and their construc-tion-related vendors and other supplier companies have experienced hard-ship, it was good to kick back and re-lax and enjoy an AIA Dayton tradition. Many, many thanks to the sponsors of AIA Dayton, including:

Annual Associate AIA Picnic Relieves The Rainy Day Blues
The Third Annual Associate AIA Picnic was held on September 24th and not even the unseasonal rain could damp-en the enthusiasm of the AIA Dayton Associates and Board members at the annual Associate AIA Picnic. The event was held on the Rooftop Terrace of the Firefl y Building, home of Rog-ero Buckman Architects. Fortunately, the terrace has a partial roof over the picnic tables, where a spread of fi ne “Bar-B-Q and fi xens” was enjoyed by all.
To their credit, all who made reserva-tions showed up for the picnic in the rain, and organizer Ward Scantlin, As-soc AIA, John Poe Architects, reward-ed their efforts with gift certifi cates to Outback Restaurant and Starbucks, courtesy of Jay Haffner, Pella Sales. The lending library materials were reviewed and discussed, as was the new ARE 4.0 testing requirements. Also a lot of discussion seemed to be directed to topics which are affecting the profession today. The introduction of BIM by fi rms in the Miami Valley and its’ merits or drawbacks depending on one’s point of view was an interesting topic of discussion. Also the introduc-tion of LEED 2009 and the upcoming Pecha Kucha Night on November 6th generated spirited conversation.
Even though attendance was down from last year and this was probably due to the weather, a good time and good food was enjoyed by all. See you all next year!

Urban Nights Submitted by Tim Bement, AIA
On September 11, 2009, AIA Day-ton took community outreach to a new level by creating an interac-tive public art project in Downtown Dayton during Urban Nights. A ten foot long by four foot high multi-layered plywood bas relief of the Dayton skyline was the canvas. Hundreds of pieces of building ele-ments, fi nish materials, and electri-cal components were the media.
AIA Dayton volunteers spent the evening interacting and encourag-ing the general public of all ages to select the piece(s) of their
choosing and helping them place it in the location of their choice on the sculpture. A wonderful mosaic of color and texture from recycled materials depicting the Dayton skyline was the result! The artwork is currently being displayed at 8 N. Main Street in downtown Dayton.
Special thanks to Vaughn Com-mercial Interiors for donating the plywood and expertise to create the skyline, Franklin Cabinet for donating materials, The Downtown Dayton Partnership, Fernando Osequera, AIA, Dan McNulty,

AIA Dayton Golf Outing Submitted by Bill Williams, AIA
The Eighteenth Annual AIA Dayton Golf Outing was a successful event once again thanks to this year’s golf-ers and generous support from our outing sponsors. Over 100 golfers enjoyed a sunny day at Bellbrook’s Sugar Valley Country Club. They started the day with a delicious City Barbeque lunch sponsored by Shook Construction. Golf carts were spon-sored by JMD Architectural Products and Shell + Meyer Associates. After the 1:00 shotgun start, players com-peted over 18 holes of golf as they quenched their thirst at various bever-age centers sponsored by Chapel Electric and Becker Construction. Four skill prize awards, sponsored by Rhe-cors General Contractor, were given during the dinner presentation. Laura McCaffery won the women’s long drive competition while Bill Thomas won the men’s. The longest putt went to Jack King and Mike Bly was clos-est to the pin. First place prizes and trophies went the team of Todd Martin, Jim Stradley, Jay Haffner and Bryan Gottron with an 18 under par score of 54. The second place team brought in a score of 57 and consisted of Dirk Turner, Dave Novotny, Jeff Miller and George Moore. Third place went to the team of Joe Roher, Dave Taylor, Julie Sabourin and Greg Martz with a score of 59.
During the steak dinner AIA Dayton President Tim Bement, AIA, spoke a few words of appreciation of those who volunteered, sponsored and golfed at the 2009 Golf Outing. There were 108 golfers who participated in this year’s AIA Dayton Golf Outing at Bellbrook’s Sugar Valley Country Club. During dinner two of the four students winners of this year’s AIA Dayton Scholarship Fund were present for a presentation of 2009 AIA Dayton Scholarship certifi cates.

Benita Cheng, a 2009 graduate of Centerville High School, is planning to study architecture at Washington Uni-versity in St. Louis with the assistance of AIA Dayton’s $1,000 scholarship, and Kaley Bartosik, a 2008 graduate of Kettering Fairmont High School who continues her studies at Miami Univeristy. The other two scholarship recipients, Ryan Benson a third year student at Miami University from Piqua and Tyler Gentry, a 2009 graduate of Bellbrook High School entering his fi rst year at the University of Cincinnati, were unable to attend. This year AIA Dayton awarded a total of $4,000 in scholarships to a group of outstand-ing high school seniors and college students from the Dayton Miami Valley region. The scholarships are funded through the generous donations of AIA Dayton Members, contributions from AIA Dayton, and through a matching funds grant from AIA National. Karen Planet, AIA, Scholarship Committee Chair, also announced the sales of this year’s Mulligan’s, a direct contribution to the AIA Dayton Scholarship Fund, totaled $1,090 this year.

Miami University AIAS Chapter Report Submitted by Dustin Brugmann, AIAS Chapter President
I would like to take this moment to inform AIA Dayton of Miami Uni-versity AIAS chapter activity. The Executive Committee and I are anticipating a great year of exciting programs and educational endeav-ors as we always work to improve our organization.
We have a fi rm visit scheduled for November with GBBN in Cincin-nati. Firm visits continue to involve many of our members and provide invaluable experience with their education. In the spring, we are planning to have another visit, most likely to Dayton area fi rms. We are hoping to coordinate this with AIA Dayton to make it a suc-cess.
On November 6th, our chapter sponsored a presentation by Lee Waldrep, Ph. D. He was recently the Executive Director of NAAB and advised students on Career Designing in which we hoped to energize students about their career path. The presentation was open to all majors interested in their career development as it pertains to architecture.
Our strengthening Freedom By Design chapter is turning heads as
we fi nish four accessibility design-build projects for a Miami Alumnus in Middletown, OH. Utawna and Lianna Leap have been exception-al clients for our student run proj-ects. With the help of our faculty mentor and other professors, we constructed a railing/wall on the edge of an outdoor patio. Raised planter beds were built and await the spring growing season!
Threshold reducers were installed within the house and a small ma-sonry wall was laid adjacent to an access ramp to the house. There remain some opportunities for fu-ture projects, but we are currently seeking our next client in need.
FORUM is taking place in Min-neapolis, MN this year and has interested many of our members to attend. We have devised some fundraising strategies to help sub-sidize the cost for members. Once again our chapter is organizing a spring trip, this year San Fran-cisco is the destination. We hope to meet with alumni, visit fi rms and see some great architecture!
As you probably know, Brett Roeth, previous president of AIAS Mi-ami University, is now working in Washington D.C. at the national offi ce serving as vice president. He remains in close contact with our chapter and is a valuable resource.
I look forward to understanding how our organizations can better work together. We are excited to continue successful programs with AIA Dayton, such as the mentor-ship of high school students dur-ing the design competition in the spring.
I would also like to thank you on behalf of the members for your continued support of our organiza-tion and the commitment to contin-ued education. The success of our AIAS chapter could not be possible without AIA Dayton.
As you know, AIA Dayton gives a generous donation to our chapter every year and we look forward to continuing our relationship and collaborating with AIA Dayton on future projects.

GreenBytes - New Study: Green Building to Support Nearly Press Release: Ashley Katz, Communications Manager USGBC
USGBC/Booz Allen Hamilton Report Shows Green Con-struction to Contribute $554 Billion to U.S. GDP Between 2009 and 2013; Also Shows Strength of USGBC Member-ship
PHOENIX (Nov. 11, 2009) – Despite a challenging economic outlook, green building will support 7.9 million U.S. jobs and pump $554 billion into the American economy – including $396 billion in wages – over the next four years (2009-2013), according to a new study from the U.S. Green Build-ing Council and Booz Allen Hamilton. The study also determined that green construction spending currently sup-ports more than 2 million American jobs and generates more than $100 billion in gross domestic product and wages.
The economic impact of the total green construction market from 2000 to 2008, the study found, contributed $178 bil-lion to U.S. gross domestic product; created or saved 2.4 million direct, in-direct and induced jobs; and generated $123 billion in wages.
The study also assessed the U.S. Green Building Council’s 19,000-plus member organizations and found that they generate $2.6 trillion in annual rev-enue, employ approximately 14 million people, come from 29 industry sectors and include 46 Fortune 100 companies.
The study was released at the USG-BC’s annual Greenbuild International Conference & Expo, the industry’s largest gathering of representatives from all sectors of the green building movement.
“Our goal is for the phrase ‘green building’ to become obsolete, by making all building and retrofi ts green – and transforming every job in our industry into a green job,” said Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO and found-ing chairman of USGBC.
19
“This study validates the work that the 25,000 people gathered here at Green-build, and every member of our move-ment, do every day.”
The study considered the total value of green buildings and the results include workers from the architects who design them to the construction laborers who pour their foundations to the truck driv-ers who deliver the materials, in recog-nition of the how extensive the impact of green building is.
“The study demonstrates that invest-ing in green buildings contributes signifi cantly to our nation’s wealth while creating jobs in a range of occupations, from carpenters to cost estimators,” said Gary Rahl, Offi cer, Global Govern-ment Market, Booz Allen Hamilton. “In many ways, green construction is be-coming the standard for development. As a result, it is expected to support nearly 8 million jobs over the next fi ve years, a number four times higher than the previous fi ve years.”
The full report can be downloaded at www.usgbc.org/greeneconomy, where one can also fi nd other research, resources, tools and information about green building and its role in the economic recoveries of professionals, businesses and the nation.
In support of the green building in-dustry’s potential to drive tremendous job growth, USGBC has bolstered its commitment to education as a key component of its organizational mission toward a sustainable built environment. A new course catalog at www.usgbc.org/courses helps green building pro-fessionals fi nd educational resources and training that support their learn-ing needs at any level – from novice to seasoned pro – and in a variety of learning formats, including live, in-person workshops, live or on-demand online courses and webinars, study materials and reference guides, and other resources. Learn more at www.usgbc.org/education.
Among the report’s fi ndings:The economic impact of the total green construction market:
•Contribution to the U.S. gross domes-tic product (GDP)o 2000-2008: $173 billiono 2009-2013 forecast: $554 billion

About the U.S. Green Building Council
The Washington, D.C.-based U.S. Green Building Council is committed to a prosperous and sustainable future for our nation through cost-effi cient and energy-saving green buildings.
With a community comprising 78 local affi liates, more than 20,000 member companies and organizations, and more than 131,000 LEED Accredited Professionals, USGBC is the driving force of an industry that is projected to contribute $554 billion to the U.S. gross domestic product from 2009-2013. USGBC leads an unlikely diverse constituency of builders and environmentalists, corporations and nonprofi t organizations, elected offi cials and concerned citizens, and teachers and students.
Buildings in the United States are responsible for 39% of CO2 emissions, 40% of energy consumption, 13% water consumption and 15% of GDP per year, making green building a source of signifi cant economic and en-vironmental opportunity. Greater build-ing effi ciency can meet 85% of future U.S. demand for energy, and a national commitment to green building has the potential to generate 2.5 million American jobs.

The national debt currently accounts for 53 percent of GDP, up from 41 percent a year ago. That’s likely to rise to 85 percent of GDP by 2018 and 200 percent of GDP by 2038 unless dramatic changes are made, the commission said.
The commission did not issue specifi c prescrip-tions but said tax increases and spending cuts would probably be needed.
It said Congress and the Obama administration should set specifi c targets each year, with au-tomatic spending reductions and tax increases kicking in if they are not reached.
The Democratic-controlled Congress is unlikely to fi x the problem on its own given the highly partisan atmosphere, commission members said.
“You’ve got to have a few Republican votes, and there have been none. And there has been no possible way in the current political system yet to fi nd that sensible center,” said former Democratic Representative Charlie Stenholm.
The commission backed the creation of an outside commission, similar to one used to close miliary bases, to create the necessary political cover.
Such a proposal is included in a crush of year-end legislation that could clear Congress this week but it is opposed by many key Demo-crats.
The United States must act to ensure that it does not join Dubai, Greece, and other coun-tries that risk losing the confi dence of inves-tors, the commission said.
“It’s imperative that we take action before the fi nancial markets force us to,” said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former Congressional Budget Offi ce director who advised Republican John McCain’s presidential campaign last year.
