CAN THIS BE TRUE?
I read recently in THE HVAC&R
Industry newsletter from ASHRAE that people are
being affected by what they call the "Snackwell
Effect". It was said by Portland State
University's Loren Lutzenhiser that people who buy
energy-efficient appliances may overuse
them. Thus not really saving energy.
They call it the "Snackwell Effect" after dieters
who binge on Snackwell's lower-calorie
cookies.
Amazing.

Technology - Social
Networks
Okay - I may be a bit
behind the technology ball, but am working on
catching up. I have had an account with
LinkedIn for quite some time and this past week
not only updated my profile, but joined a number
of other social networks. I have even found
some of my old friends and business
partners. It is really amazing stuff.
I am now a member of Facebook, My Space, Ning, Plaxo and
Twitter. It was a little disconcerning when
I received e-mails that I was being followed on
Twitter, but soon I will learn to Tweat with the
best of them. Please feel free to add me to
your friends list.

HAPPY
SPRING!
March winds blew through to
bring us into the second quarter of 2009. As
the second quarter begins we are starting to see a
little improvement in the stock market. This
past week was a good one. As the stock
market continues to strengthen, we should see a
bottoming out of unemployment rate.
Listening to the talking heads, things are still
on a downhill slide, but as a work-a-day
employment recruiter, I see job opportunities
surfacing every day.

ECONOMY TODAY AND
YESTERDAY
This past week, I had the
privilege to hear Steve Kroft speak at our local
Economics Club. When asked about the recent
closing of a number of newspapers, he spoke to the
fact that advertising is what supports all the
media and news is what sells papers. From
that statement it really pulls together the fact
that the media bases their advertising rates on
circulation, circulation grows when there is news
that sells papers. We as humans seem to be drawn
to the sensational news stories (how many laid
off, plants closing, murders, natural disasters -
not how many were hired, what new plant opened or
truly feel good stories). Thus that is why we hear
the negative stories from the talking heads.
Point is, don't always believe what you hear or
read. In fact, that brings up another
topic. Have you compared today's news with
the news from the early 70's and early 80's?
Many of you probably won't remember those days or
were even born then, but here are just a few of
the headlines we located from those "good old
days" And yes I remember all of them.
SPIKING
ENERGY PRICES
24% MORTAGE INTEREST
RATES
HOUSING PRICES FALL 12%
OIL
EMBARGO
GAS RATIONING
WAGE
FREEZE
CHRYSLER CORPORATION LOANS GUARANTEED BY
TREASURY
10% UNEMPLOYMENT
RAMPANT
INFLATION
As you can see, those were the
headlines that sold newspapers and TV news stories
then, perhaps that puts today's headlines in
perspective.
Good new today is
- Interest rates are at the lowest they have ever
been
Entrepreneurs are developing new
businesses every day
Business are adjusting
their business models and products - I just heard
of an RV upholstery company that has taken stock
and is now producing handbags from the fabrics.
As a good friend of mine
once told me, Employment is a bus trip -
once you get off one bus another will be along is
a few minutes to hop
on.
