Reduce energy at work and improve your bottom line

Saving money on your energy bills may not be as exciting as winning a new contract, setting a new sales record or designing a new product. But for many businesses, it can add to profitability in a way that is just as dramatic.

We want to offer some fairly easy solutions that are designed to help businesses that are experiencing increasing concern about energy costs; businesses that are coping with energy systems that are not designed specifically for their activities or space requirements; and organizations that want to bring the same efficiency to their heating, cooling and lighting systems as they do to other business activities.

There is a multitude of business benefits with energy saving measures including an exceptional return on investment of 20% - 50% per year, reduced maintenance and replacement costs, increased cooling capacity of air conditioning and refrigeration systems, more efficient equipment performance and project payback periods of just two to five years. more

Small businesses find ways around rising costs of mailing

Although the price of a first-class postage stamp is going up a penny on May 12, small businesses will get a break for the first time on Express Mail and Priority Mail costs. That will help many companies, but business owners who do a lot of mailing and shipping say there are plenty of additional ways to cut expenses if you shop and ask around.The U.S. Postal Service, making itself more competitive with commercial mailers and shippers, is taking some steps away from what it calls a "one price fits all" policy that had customers paying the same price for all pieces of mail in certain classes of service. For example, Express Mail has had one price whether a piece of mail was sent 10 miles or 1,000 miles.Express Mail will be priced based on zones, allowing customers sending mail nearby to pay less. more

Preparing Your Home For Hurricane Season

One coastal area is urging homeowners to prepare, while storm-related businesses are getting busier.

Melbourne's Hurricane Product Warehouse is a one stop shop for all things hurricane protection related.

From shutters to stormproof windows and doors, owners have a wide variety of items for all price ranges. They will custom install the products on any home.

“And it's as simple as that, you've know protected one opening on your home. Multiply that by 10 or 15 openings and you can spend about 10 or 15 minutes to protect your home," said Dave Diana from the Hurricane Product Warehouse.

Meanwhile, the city of Melbourne is offering $500,000 in grant money for qualified homeowners to hire contractors to hurricane proof their investment.

For additional information about the grants, call Melbourne's Housing Department at (321) 674-5734. more

Eco-friendly Gifts Boost Business and Support Equality

(ARA) - With everyone going "green" and becoming more conscious of the environment and fair global trade, consumers are looking for these values in the products they buy. Wouldn't it be great if your business not only supported these initiatives, but also offered customers a way to help too?There's no better place to find exotic and unique gift items than from international vendors. One company that wholesales these products is Global Crafts, whose motto is "making a difference one purchase at a time."Global Crafts is one of only a handful of companies in the U.S. designated as a Fair Trade Organization within the International Fair Trade Association (IFAT). The company has the highest standards for its products and business practices. Each product on the site is fair trade, meaning it promotes the payment of a fair price as well as social and environmental standards, and much of it made from recycled or natural material.One great example is the Paper Dala Flowers from Thailand. more

Voting Question: Is this letter acceptable to send to a school system?

I am former student at **** High School, successful business owner in town, and published author. According to the United States of America Constitution, my first amendment is freedom of speech. I encourage you to read this letter through the end. Within the past 2 years, I have been bothered by the idea of the poor educational system in ****. **** elementary and middle schools seem to operate smoothly, except **** High School. I must say, the High School was the worst four years of my life. Teachers hustling here and there, overcrowded workloads, and how could we leave out the awful administration. I understand that each school system must have an administrative team and enforce rules however; the current conditions at the High School are unbearable for students. Getting more focused within my letter, I will focus my attention on the administrative staff at **** High School. Your office clerk, ****, is absolute nightmare to talk to. Her goody too shoo attitude is a turnoff to all. In fact, when I was in high school, about 2 weeks prior to graduating, she raised her voice to me. Remarks like I should not graduate because I could not read the 2 inch by 2 inch note card on the overcrowded office door are no ways to treat your students. My action taken was to send my parents down to yell back. I should have called a meeting between her and the town officials. I have never been so embarrassed in my life, where so many people and fellow graduating class heard me. I strongly believe that by having Kathy around in the office hurts the whole school system as a whole. Strongly consider he credentials and consider moving someone more professional and more caring into that position. Also her weight is not healthy for the amount of yelling she does. Excessive weight and yelling leads to high blood pressure which leads to heart stress, which leads to heart attacks. As I wish this doesn’t happen to anyone, I strongly consider taking the stress off **** and giving it to someone else who is fit for the job. Nothing tops the time when the principal would forget the pledge of allegiance over the morning intercom… how unprofessional of the school. Nothing yells failure like forgetting your countries own pledge. Your intercom system is a bit soft in some rooms. I suggest making them a bit louder. Bullying among other students was a huge part of daily life in **** High School for me. I was always being picked on. Day in and day out, I had to endure comments that would hurt my reputation and potential future for business. I should have sought legal help for issues involving my reputation as I work very hard to keep my reputation strong. As teachers heard the comments being made, nothing was done about it until I took action in the office. Turning the kids into the office did nothing for them. Suspension? Sure kick them out of school, where were the police. I had my backpack and social security number stolen and passed around the cafeteria??? I have seen several teachers hurt by specific people mentioned in this letter. The apple does not fall to far from the tree. With the administrative department in power, I feel that **** High School will always be a complete failure. It will take a long time to re-build the reputation that has been lost in my eyes from the educational system. Let me suggest some areas to work on to improve your rankings within the community. •You could turn up the loud speaker, so everyone can hear it. Some students in your school are hearing impaired. Don’t you think that you should make your school good to all students and not just the ones who are fine. •You could remove the unnecessary workers from the office. **** especially. No one wants to deal with her on a daily basis. Rude, impolite, and stuck-up spells disaster all over her office desk. •You could stop being so strict on your policies. Some more than others. Parking, no need for overpriced, retarded parking places. These are high school students, not CEO’s making a million dollars a year. Lower the price or do away with the parking permits. •Be more giving on your late policy. Car accidents, sickness, and family issues, etc. are unpredictable. If I recall right, **** just hands out detentions like she’s giving tampons to an audience of young ladies. “One to everyone will cure everything.” I mean, are you serious? Such a bad way to run a school system!!! •If kids have a problem, raise their voices at staff, don’t follow the dress codes, etc, just simply give them a warning. That’s all, if the problem consists, the do something about it. Students may start to complain that they feel like they are in boot camp. I don’t blame them. •Many more issues can be seen throughout the school. Why be so harsh to these kids? Maybe it will give you something to think about. In 2010, I plan on writing my second book published by a well known agency, sellable in Barnes and Noble, Borders, Am more

Voting Question: How do these Colleges look (UPenn, NYU, Emory...)?

Hi, I have a 2100 SAT (760 Math, 690 Reading, 650 Writing). My practice ACTs have me in the 33-34 range for when I take it in September. I go to one of the 16 "Public Elite" high schools as judged by Newsweek. I have a 3.6 GPA (Top 15% of my class but we don't do class rankings). I play Varsity Soccer, Varsity Basketball, and club Tennis. I've also played 1st Chair Trombone in the Jazz Band for 4 years. Notable courses I've taken are 5 years of Japanese, Accelerated Calculus, and Website Design. I was going to go on a 3-week trip to Japan this summer but our Japanese sponsor canceled because of Swine Flu, I'll be going next summer instead. I am fairly active in the community. I regularly donate/help at to Books for Prisoner, Women in Transition, the Public Library, and Goodwill. I've also done things for the Disabled Services Center and Court Advocates for Abused Children. I am a minority male. I plan to pursue Business Administration in college. So with all this in mind, how do these colleges look? Also, are there any other similar colleges you would recommend I look into? NYU Columbia UPenn Emory U of Illinois (Father and Brother went) Thanks for your help!MIT seems like a reach, Duke possibly a target. I'm basically a lock for the U of I but I'm not sold on it. Are there any other high to mid tier schools I could add as safeties? more

Resolved Question: Am I on the right track and what else do I need to do to get into an Ivy League school?

I am a 15 year old South Korean guy. I am an American Citizen and have lived in California for most of my life. My dad used to live in Texas. He studied hard. He was faced with much racism throughout his school years. Eventually he got accepted to Harvard. But he did not go. Why? 1) He wanted to go for engineering but Harvard was not the best at the time in engineer, but still top in the nation overall. 2) He wanted to live near his family in Texas because he had a very bad childhood. He picked a decent local college called Texas A&N for engineering. He now regrets this even though he still lives an above average life. Now I want to make sure he does NOT regret it. I dedicated myself to get into Harvard, if not University of Pennsylvania for business. Here is what I got so far. I have a 4.67 GPA and an Academic GPA of 4.8 I am class rank 1 out of 700+ freshmans in my high school. I took the courses: AP Biology, AP Human Geography, Honors English, Honors Alg.2/Trig, Cross Country, and Spanish I. I got all As. Now I am studying for the AP exams to get a 5. I took practice AP exams (reals ones from the past) and got a 5 already. But I am still studying about 3 hours a day JUST for AP exams. This excludes homework. I do not count studying for a school test as the same as studying for the AP exams. I took a practice SAT (real one from the past) and got 2050 in eight grade. The person teaching SAT at my afterschool told me that I should study SATs intensely in my sophomore year and just take it in my sophomore year and get about a 2300+. He says that it is very possible and I should just get over with it. I volunteer about 6 hours a week at a charity network. I help distribute food the the needy. I am going to keep being involved in this program all throughout high school and eventually become a member of position in that charity. I also love running. I started cross country and running this year. My mile time used to be in the 8s but I fell in love with running. Now I have dropped it to 4:56. I will continue to do cross country and track and perhaps be Team Captain in my junior or senior year. My coaches tell me I will be Varsity in my sophomore year. I am on a very good track as well in terms of team encouragement and friends on the team. I also made the Math Club for my high school which is fairly new, about 4-5 years old. I am the president of that math club. It has about eight members who come in daily to practice for contests such as the CAML and AMC. We have brought our school to the California rankings (even though it is not even close to the top). For AMC, 1% goes to the next step called the AIME. If one gets a score of 120 in that contest, they will move to AIME, and after that the Math National Olympiad. My goal is to get to AIME my sophomore year then the Olmypiad in my junior year. I will be done with my SATs so I will have much more time then most of my peers to study for it. Also, I have always been good at math. My parents made sure that I would be automatically able to solve a multiplication up to 15x15 within 2 seconds when I was in Kindergarten. I never study for my math tests and pass with an A. This is also a reason why I have time to study so much for my APs. I am also in love with business. I was involved in a national stock competition and was in first place until one of my teammates screwed the whole team over (may sound like an excuse but it is complicated). I am sure I will place first within my sophomore or junior year for sure. I have loved and watched the NYSE for several years now. I am also involved in CSF and Key Club. ---- My next year I am hoping to take Academic Decathlon (invited by the teacher herself). I used to read and re-read history books when I was young because I simply LOVED it. That has gotten my far in my knowledge of history. My school won first place recently in many competitions and I am fortunate to place with them next year as well. I am taking AP Euro, AP Physics, Honors Pre-Cal, Cross Country, Spanish II, and Honors English. I will also make a charity club in my school in my sophomore year as well and get involved in it. I am very determined. Many people will think, "man, does this guy have a life?" and in fact I will say that I DO! I have a good circle of friends and have been able to affect my friends in many good ways. I still go to parties (maybe not all) and play games on the computer (I'm Asain :P) like counterstrike and all about 6 hours a week. I have the electric guitar, cello, and bass guitar and play the bass for my church. People ask how do I do it. I answer this: When you concentrate on one thing, just do that one thing. My friends listen to music or chat while doing homework. It takes them several hours when I concentrate and I finish it within an hour. That gives me few extra hours. While they chill and play during the weekdays, I do not usually spend over 30 minutes on Monday more

Voting Question: Is it horrible of me to be honest to my boyfriend about university?

So, here's the situation: I'm currently in one of the top 2 business programs in Canada, one that's highly competitive (only 6% of applicants with A averages got in). I have also been in a committed long-distance relationship with a younger guy for the past 10 months (he's a senior in high school). We are honestly perfect together and it's been tough, but I'm sooooo glad we're together. Point being, the long-distance has definitely been worth it. He is unbelievably talented and smart (more so than me, definitely) so he has a very good shot of also getting into this program and always said that he would come here. Financially, he would probably need to take out a few thousand dollars in his 4th year, but overall, financially, he's in decent shape for moving away, and he always said that our relationship is much more important than money anyways. But lately, he's being considered for a $40,000 scholarship at a pretty good university. It's not as good as mine, but still alright. The problem is, he would have to stay at the university all four years in order to get the scholarship. Also, his parents want him to go to the place with the scholarship, but it's more to save THEMSELVES the money (his dad goes to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico every year for 2 weeks every year) Trust me, they can afford the better program. I REALLY want him to come here (as you can imagine) but it's also HIS decision. It's also not as if I'm pushing him to come to a bad university...it's the best of all the options I guess what I'm asking is...should I voice my opinions? Because I'm in a relationship with him, should I also get a say in this, since it will affect our relationship? I didn't think I was signing up for 5 years of long-distance when I started to date him...but I feel very confident that this relationship will make it, especially if I can FINALLY be in the same city as him Thanks! :) P.S. I'm not being cocky about my university rankings. I'm judging the universities based on several national/international rankings. I've done my research. :)And he would go to my university if it weren't for the money, just to be clear. Everything about where I am, not just the fact that I'm here, is very appealing to him (that's what he has told me) more

Resolved Question: Which undergraduate business ranking chart is best? Business week or US News World Report?

The top 10 schools are just about the same, but after that there are drastic differences in both lists. Schools that were ranked 70 on one list are in the top 25 on the other. I know they may base their rankings off of different things, but which is better? What are their rankings based on...specifically in their top undergrad business programs list? more

Resolved Question: Choosing a college/university?

Is northeastern a good business school? I noticed it dropped 8 places this year in business week's rankings. I am also thinking of applying to Bentley but the student body doesn't seem that diverse. I also hate the fact that they want you to take 50% LA classes and 50% business classes. So I don't really think it's a fit for me but I'm having trouble deciding on what schools to apply. My plans at the moment are to major in accounting or finance and try and land a job at one of the Big 4 accounting firms or if I major in finance get a job as an analyst. I also want to go to grad school once I can apply. My gpa is a 3.57 and after this semester I'm hoping to get it up around a 3.7. I'm involved in the economics club at my school and we won the fed challenge this year for community colleges. What business schools do I have a shot at getting into? I am also leaning more towards a college located in a major city if it helps any.My family doesn't have much money either. What schools are the best at giving out grants and scholarships? I don't mind paying some of the schooling with loans. But I honestly don't feel I should be in debt 50k+ dollars because I work hard at my studies and we don't have much money. more

Resolved Question: College Choice. Whose undergraduate business program is the best? PLEASE HELP!!!?

Please give me an idea whose undergraduate business is the strongest and which school is considered with the most respect? I viewed some rankings last week and they are contradictory. Some rank Binghamton the highest. Some rank Buffalo and Baruch the best. I have no idea which one is true. I am a new immigrant from Shanghai. I know almost nothing about the universities here. any one please help me!!! more

Resolved Question: teachers should accept that tenure has outlived its usefulness?

Last week I went shopping in our small rural hometown, where my family has attended the same public schools since 1896. Without exception, all six generations of us — whether farmers, housewives, day laborers, business people, writers, lawyers, or educators — were given a good, competitive K-12 education. But after a haircut, I noticed that the 20-something cashier could not count out change. The next day, at the electronic outlet store, another young clerk could not read — much less explain — the basic English of the buyer’s warranty. At the food market, I listened as a young couple argued over the price of a cut of tri-tip — unable to calculate the meat’s real value from its price per pound. As another school year is set to get under way, it’s worth pondering where this epidemic of ignorance came from. Our presidential candidates sense the danger of this dumbing down of American society and are arguing over the dismal status of contemporary education: poor graduation rates, weak test scores, and suspect literacy among the general population. Politicians warn that America’s edge in global research and productivity will disappear, and with it our high standard of living. Yet the bleak statistics — whether a 70-percent high-school graduation rate as measured in a study a few years ago by the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, or poor math rankings in comparison with other industrial nations — come at a time when our schools inflate grades and often honor multiple valedictorians at high school graduation ceremonies. Aggregate state and federal education budgets are high. Too few A’s, too few top awards, and too little funding apparently don’t seem to be our real problems. Of course, most critics agree that the root causes for our undereducated youth are not all the schools’ fault. Our present ambition to make every American youth college material — in a way our forefathers would have thought ludicrous — ensures that we will both fail in that utopian goal and lack enough literate Americans with critical vocational skills. The disintegration of the American nuclear family is also at fault. Too many students don’t have two parents reminding them of the value of both abstract and practical learning. What then can our elementary and secondary schools do, when many of their students’ problems begin at home or arise from our warped popular culture? We should first scrap the popular therapeutic curriculum that in the scarce hours of the school day crams in sermons on race, class, gender, drugs, sex, self-esteem, or environmentalism. These are well-intentioned efforts to make a kinder and gentler generation more sensitive to our nation’s supposed past and present sins. But they only squeeze out far more important subjects. The old approach to education saw things differently than we do. Education (“to lead out” or “to bring up”) was not defined as being “sensitive” to, or “correct” on, particular issues. It was instead the rational ability to make sense of the chaotic present through the abstract wisdom of the past. So literature, history, math and science gave students plenty of facts, theorems, people, and dates to draw on. Then training in logic, language, and philosophy provided the tools to use and express that accumulated wisdom. Teachers usually did not care where all that training led their students politically — only that their pupils’ ideas and views were supported with facts and argued rationally. What else can we do to restore such traditional learning before the United States loses it global primacy? To encourage our best minds to become teachers, we should also change the qualifications for becoming one. Students should be able to pursue careers in teaching either by getting a standard teaching credential or by substituting a master’s degree in an academic subject. That way we will eventually end up with more instructors with real academic knowledge rather than prepped with theories about how to teach. And once hired, K-12 teachers should accept that tenure has outlived its usefulness. Near-guaranteed lifelong employment has become an archaic institution that shields educators from answerability. And tenure has not ensured ideological diversity and independence. Nearly the exact opposite — a herd mentality — presides within many school faculties. Periodic and renewable contracts — with requirements, goals and incentives — would far better ensure teacher credibility and accountability. Athletics, counseling and social activism may be desirable in schools. But they are not crucial. Our pay scales should reflect that reality. Our top classroom teachers should earn as much as — if not more than — administrators, bureaucrats, coaches, and advisers. Liberal education of the type my farming grandfather got was the reason why the United States grew wealthy, free, and stable. But without it, the nation of his great-grandchildren will become poor, docile, and insecure. more
