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 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.

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.
