Do you work to supplement the family income?
While I do not have to supplement my family’s income, I work 10 to 12 hours a week as customer service representative at my local supermarket. In addition during the 2011 summer vacation, I started my own automobile detailing business with a friend. We created a business plan, marketed our services on the internet and in our community, kept business records, negotiated with customers and performed all car detailing procedures. This averaged 20 to 30 hours a week during the summer. By the end of the summer we were so successful an operator of a fleet of limousines contacted us to perform all of the detailing for their fleet of over 40 vehicles. Because of the time commitment involved, we declined their offer.
Are there family obligations that limit your participation in extracurricular activities?

During my junior, year both my parents suffered from serious health issues that necessitated devoting more of my attention to my family. During November 2010, without any prior history of them, my mother had two seizures, one while driving. As a result, her driving privileges were suspended for a six month period. Fortunately, the anti-seizure medication she was prescribed has prevented any further seizure incidents. Then in December 2010, my dad began to experience extreme back pain, which ultimately resulted in his having spine/back surgery in July 2011. During the period my parents were limited in their activities, I picked up the slack performing a variety of chores and tasks that they previously performed.

Can you find me any good websites on these logistics/transportation topics?

This is my professor’s assignment: “Find below several different categories to search on. Your task is to find relevant and helpful sites that you can recommend to your classmates, especially those in your
major (finance, marketing, accounting). For instance, they should provide information that is helpful in learning more about a topic area; most of these will have white papers, reports, etc. available on line. Grading will be done based on relevancy, uniqueness and completeness. Pick one area and find 5 or 6 good sites. Write what you learned reading materials at this site. If you are taking both logistics and transportation this semester, please review 8 or more web
sites; you only have to submit the assignment one time.”

These are the topics:
A. Supply Chain & Logistics Events
B. Internet/Mobile/DSL/Wireless/Networking Events
C. Associations in the Discipline
D. Educational institutions
E. General Supply Chain Information
F. Journals and Magazines
G. Supply Chain glossaries

The key is to just pick one topic and find 5 or 6 sites about that topic that make it BETTER than other sites similar to that topic, Please send me links to these sites and look for sites w/activites/documents etc.

Does the California Energy Commision really want to get between us and our televisions?

Many organizations are opposing tough new legislation designed to cut energy usage, including groups that normally support conservation and green technology. Latest example, the LA Times: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-ed-tv3-2009oct03,0,1389923.story

Every state-wide and national group who’s weighed in on this subject has come down in opposition also.

The California Energy Commission (CEC) seems to only have one proponent – themselves.

In an email communication with the CEC explaining how Californians would suffer under their planned restrictions, they replied with “You’re smart guys, you’ll figure it out.”
I responded with the fact that TV manufacturers are already responding to the voluntary federally run Energy Star program. Sony’s energy usage has dropped more than 60% between 2005 and 2009 – still waiting for a reply…

I participated in this discussion on KPCC, the local NPR for the greater Los Angeles market, where guests from Visio and the Consumer Electronics Association confirmed that picture quality is directly relative to energy usage and is likely to retard due to CEC meddling.

New technologies, as they roll out, are where we see improvement. Are we supposed to think up something new real fast, then rush the research and development because the CEC thinks it’s a good idea? Apparently.

Californians will be in for some or all of the items below if the CEC passes their draconian requirements.

The nicer looking televisions tend to use more power than their cheap counterparts. Some manufacturers may be forced to stop selling the good stuff in larger sizes to Californians

If Californians are forced to use the Internet to buy larger TVs with good quality pictures, state sales tax revenue will go down as will income from trucking, sales and service organizations. Since practically everyone buys larger TVs these days, there will be significant job loss in California too.

Manufacturers may choose to dumb down the picture quality to meet the requirements. (Anyone can make a TV more efficient by turning down the brightness, contrast and color.) If all the TVs in the local showroom have the same poor picture, we won’t be the wiser.

Exciting new technologies often hit the market then become more efficient after a year or two. Californians can forget being on the cutting edge of technology.

Convenience models, ones that include a Blu-ray player or maybe a hard drive for DVR functionality, use even more power than a simple TV, but use less than having individual boxes sitting next to the TV. Sorry, we won’t get those either.

One on-the-horizon technology may be capable of meeting CEC requirements for larger sizes while maintaining good picture quality. It’s called OLED. Trouble is, so far we can only make up to 11 inch pictures and even at that small size they cost over $2000.00 to buy.
