And we were trying to help with the stimulus bill. I remember standing on the floor, just looking at us losing tens of thousands of jobs a month and we wound up losing 8 million jobs. California was a mass. The real estate situation hit us. We were struggling. Families were distraught and im running for reelection in fee arena is blaming everything on me, even when it rains and shes blaming everything on me and its tight. He says hes have you seen her hair and he said it is so yesterday. And she starts laughing. Now the truth is about my hair, i have many bad hair days, but i thought that moment, everybody does. What is she doing . Its kind of an insult to everybody except if you are wealthy enough to have and are followed around every day and most of us do not. She got into trouble with that and i think in the end, people said we are in a hard time and i think they understood with you there, including up against the iraq war there are so many times that you were alone or maybe had a f
What is the Authors Guild . An organization that was formed to represent authors the end their interest copyright freespeech we have been doing the same thing over 100 years we just had a panel looking at the standard trade Publishing Agreement asking questions if the terms are there in the Digital World we have 9,000 members we provide services for authors and agents. We provide Web Site Services so if we help them to build a web site and we spend a lot of time on advocacy that we all have authors try to assure that they can make a living today so we take a survey of our members one year ago that as we expected from anecdotal evidence that the survey shows us over 30 percent from the mean annual income of 24,000. So pretty low wages that tends to be very highly educated in india gets to the point where it is unsustainable, have. were focusing on now was to ensure that those authors can continue. 9,000 members . We have quite a number of wellknown authors that are members of the Author
That represents all authors, and were trying to ensure that authors can make a living today and its getting harder and harder. So we did a survey of our members about a year ago where we found that as we had suspected from anecdotal evidence that authors are making less money, and our survey actually showed us that the mean income was down over 30 , from a mean annual income of 24,000 a year to just 17,500. So were talking about pretty low wages for a book author, who tend to be very highly educated, and its getting to the point where its becoming really unsustainable to be a book author. So, a lot of what were focusing on right now, actually, is very much ensuring that authors can make a living wage. Host before we get into those issues, 9,000 members. Would James Paterson and David Mccullough be a member . Guest we have quite a number of wellknown authors who are members of the guild. And we also have we have all kinds of authors.

Now they will be able to, the private sector will be able to finance, install, maintain, manage, operate and expand transmission and distribution structure by
Production of a half Million Barrels a day by the tomb of president penas end of term and then maybe a Million Dollars a day by 2025. So thats a conservative number in terms of the Resource Base and in terms of what might be possible. Just looking across the divide where technically recoverable resources on the mexican side exceed those on the u. S. Side and the eagleford would not take much if this were the United States to get on shore conventional nonconventional production up to a half Million Barrels a day let alone whatever might be happening on the conventional side. Canadian production is likely to continue. These quasiofficial numbers based on the cap. So current production in canada is roughly three and a half Million Barrels a day. And we can kind of readily project five Million Barrels a day adjusted for where the price of oil may be but theres going to be an uplift as canadian oil reaches water borne markets in terms of the net back price to the well head, even if global p
