Tesla Motors Chief Executive Elon Musk recently announced that the company's cash flows finally turned positive in the last week of November. There was concern that Tesla could face a liquidity crunch as the automaker faced problems in ramping up production of Model S in the previous quarter. The electric car manufacturer, which originally projected annual revenue in the range of $560-600 million at the start of the year, had revised it downward to $400-440 million primarily due to a decline in the expected number of Model S units produced during this year.
See our full analysis for Tesla
The company's stock price jumped more than 10% last month helped by the Q3 earnings and now comes this announcement. A positive cash flow is a big step in the life cycle of a company. If cash flows continue to stay negative, creditors and investors start doubting the company's profit generating ability and the further cash needed to grow operations either becomes unavailable or is only available at a significant premium.
Show Me The Money
Next year will be a big one for Tesla as it looks to boost its Model S production to 400 units a week (or 20,000 cars annually). Compared to 268 units it sold last quarter, this will be a big jump. It is also in the process of establishing a network of Supercharger electric car recharging stations across the country. It has already set up a number of stations in California and more of these will mushroom in the coming quarters.
Along with the initial high cost of purchasing an electric car, the lack of charging stations across the country is a big deterrent for consumers looking to buy electric cars. Thus, how well the charging stations are distributed will be a big factor in determining the general public's predilection towards electric cars.
Furthermore, Tesla is in the process of rolling out Model X and Gen III models for which it will again need sufficient liquidity to cover expenses related to R&D and capital expenditure. Therefore, the automaker does need a substantial amount of cash for its future endeavors, and the company's cash flows turning positive is a significant development on its path to sustainability and future profitability.
We currently have a Trefis price estimate of $37 for Tesla, which is more than 10% above the market price.

When I first saw the wet-dry petition at a local gas station last week, the first thought in my mind was "well, this should be interesting."
When I was with a daily newspaper in southeastern Kentucky, I saw the fight that a wet-dry vote can cause. It wasn't always pretty but it was always interesting.
We can only hope that if the petition succeeds and the issue does get on the ballot that there is an intelligent discussion carefully debating the pros and cons of both sides.

California minimum as of Tuesday: $9 per hour
And in 18 months: $10 per hour
State versus federal? A worker is entitled to the higher of the two
Can a worker offer to work for less? No
Is it the same for minors? Yes
Source: State Department of Industrial Relations
California's low-end workers will all see bumps in their next paychecks as the first increase in the state's minimum wage in six years takes effect.
The increase, to $9 per hour from $8 per hour, officially becomes the state standard Tuesday. It will go to $10 per hour on Jan. 1, 2016.
The law adopting the increase was initiated late in 2012 by Assemblyman Luis Alejo, a Salinas-area Democrat. It went through the legislative process, passing through committee and full Assembly and Senate votes almost completely along party lines before being signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown in September.
A second bill in California would raise the minimum wage to $11 per hour on Jan. 1, 2015, with an additional $1 to be added at the start of each of the next two years. The bill was ratified by the state Senate last month but has not been voted on by the Assembly. It is not known how the overlapping bills would be legally framed.
It amounts to changing economic environments for workers and businesses. According to a recent report by Beacon Economics, a Los Angeles-based consulting firm, California saw a 2.8 percent increase in its gross state product in the first quarter of 2014, meaning the state's economy is growing faster than the nation's as a whole.
However, the growth has been erratic, leaving business owners feeling vulnerable. And, growth is probably slower in the Inland area.
Here are five things to keep in mind when the increase starts.
For workers
It is not known how many Inland Southern California workers earn the minimum. However, according to the most recent Employment Development Department data, there are almost 350,000 people in Riverside and San Bernardino counties who work in the retail and accommodations industries and through temporary agencies.
That is about 27 percent of the Inland workforce. And while not all are minimum wage workers, many are, and these are among the three fastest-growing job sectors in the Inland region in 2014.
A minimum wage worker who puts in 40 hours a week makes about $16,650 per year, which would keep two people living together officially out of poverty. But the poverty threshold for a family of four is almost $24,000, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which means that families supported by minimum wage jobs are not supported well.
Opponents say minimum wage is intended as a starting point, mainly for teens, and not as a wage with which a family should be supported. However, a 2011 U.S. Census Bureau report contended that an estimated 900,000 people in California would benefit from an increase, and one-third of all workers who made less than $10 per hour were between the ages of 21 and 30.
For employers
The ones who will feel the pinch most are probably independent retailers, who depend on through-the-door cash flow to survive. If their payrolls have to increase, the owners will probably look for other ways to make up the difference.
That problem might be solved by raising prices. Many do not have the flexibility to cut payrolls; restaurants still need enough workers to cook, clean and wait on tables.

The Oakland A's have reached an agreement with free agent outfielder, Manny Ramirez, for one year at $500 thousand on a minor league contract.
Manny will have to serve a 50 game suspension for testing positive for performance enhancing drugs before he joins the A's so the earliest he will be in the lineup is June 2. Because of his suspension and the fact that he doesn't exactly have the best clubhouse reputation over the course of his career, there will undoubtedly be some negativity surrounding this move from fans and players alike.
I can understand why. From a fan's perspective, he cheated. The baseball world is just getting over the steroid era and a lot of people won't want that tarnished memory around the A's, almost especially since the A's are not expected to compete.
From a player's perspective, it potentially takes a roster spot away from a younger guy trying to earn his way onto the team. Going into the offseason, the A's were short on outfielders but most thought they would give guys like Michael Taylor and Chris Carter a chance to play everyday to see what they could do. Now, the A's almost have too many outfielders and they just added Manny to be the DH. Someone is likely to lose playing time and may even get traded as a result.
My answer to the fans is pretty simple:
To the A's fans who look at this signing as a negative, remember that it is basically a no risk/high reward situation. First, the A's are paying him just over the league minimum salary; even for the Oakland, that contract, which is prorated and won't pay him during the suspension, won't be detrimental. More importantly, it's a minor league contract, which doesn't guarantee Manny a roster spot.
The A's will have 50 games with which to find an in-house solution at the DH. If Chris Carter/Seth Smith/ Johnny Gomes earns that spot, the A's can cut Manny and not think twice about it. If no one grabs the reigns, on June 2 you plug in a guy with a career .312/.411/.585 slash line and 555 home runs to his resume.
My answer to the players who think Manny will take their spot is even simpler:
If you want to play in the big leagues: EARN IT. You don't just get to play in the show because you're 25 and you're entering your prime. You have to prove that you are ready and quite frankly (even though I wanted to see them play) guys like Michael Taylor, Chris Carter and Brandon Allen haven't done that. If you think that signing a guy who sat out almost all of last year and who will be forty by the time he is allowed to play this year threatens your chances to make the team, then you have bigger problems. Spring training is about showing the decision makers what you can do.
The A's have been so devoid of anything that resembles a capable offense lately that if you prove you can hit, they will find a spot for you in that lineup. Period. So stop making excuses and go play baseball.
There's one more angle at which to look at this situation. The A's just invested $36 million in Cuban outfielder, Yoenis Cespedes, in the hopes he will provide the power the A's so desperately covet. I have no idea what the relationship between he and Manny would be but I would think it could be positive. I know they're both from different countries (Manny is Dominican) but they are both Latin and I would think that the A's have at least hoped that Manny could act as a mentor to Cespedes. Who knows maybe they've expressed this already to Manny. But Cespedes, a guy with all the physical tools in the world, could learn a lot from Manny, who is arguably the best right handed hitter ever and took a similar path to the big leagues. It certainly couldn't hurt. Then again, we are talking about Manny Ramirez.

She's a winner
After getting a degree in business and working as a part-time manager of a small business, Lisa Ikerd-Carradine is finally pursuing her dream as an artist.
"I've loved art all my life," said Ikerd-Carradine, in her 50s. "I did sketches of my kids since they were little. Art makes me feel very happy."
Ikerd-Carradine's mother had not been supportive of her daughter's early aspirations, according to Lisa. Her mother said that "art would not get me anywhere."
Ikerd-Carradine, who is from Cypress, said her two daughters, who are in college, encourage their mom to still chase her dream. This month, Ikerd-Carradine found out that she won the Orange County Fair's Best of Show in Amateur Fine Art, the highest rank bestowed for its category. She created a ceramic piece titled "The Clowness Pigeon a la Lautrec," which depicts a pigeon dressed as a clown. It alludes to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's 1896 painting "The Seated Clowness."
But this isn't the first win for Ikerd-Carradine. Last year she placed third at the OC Fair for a ceramic piece, and two years ago she won first for an acrylic painting of pigeons.
Q. What does it mean to be a Best of Show winner?
A. "It's a thrill for me. It means that people like my work. I've been hoping to touch people in a way."
Q. Why did you select a pigeon as the subject?
A. "I've always loved pigeons. I've made five or six ceramic pieces on pigeons. One day I saw this little, sad, greasy, and grungy pigeon that was missing a toe scrounging for food outside of a restaurant. My heart went out to him. Pigeons didn't ask to be here. We were all born into living on the planet near each other. So we should get along and care about each other if possible."
Q. What's so challenging about ceramics?
A. "It has so many variables. You have to choose the right clay because each has different properties. Some are more rubbery which makes it better for creating expressions on a face. Most people don't know that my Clowness Pigeon is completely hollow inside. And that's because you can only have up to a quarter- to half-inch thickness of your ceramic piece or else it might explode in the kiln. The tricky thing is to build your structure right so that it will hold."
Q. Do you regret following your mother's advice on careers?
A. "I will always regret not going for an art degree earlier in my life. I think I believed the words of people saying that art may take me nowhere. I did have some who thought I would do well. I should have listened to them. That is why I'm encouraging all to go for their dream. Aim high and then see where you land."
Q. What was your mother's reaction to your wins?
A. "She is glad that I won, and she does love to see the pieces that I've created. She is also possibly glad that I still am working my part-time job."
Q. What are your future plans?
A. "I'm currently a student at a community college, and I'm hoping to transfer to a BFA program."

Difference between revisions of "Suffolk"
Revision as of 16:47, 15 March 2010Suffolk[1] is a picturesque county in England located in East Anglia. One of the largest counties in the country, it shares its borders with Norfolk to the north, Essex to the south, Cambridgeshire to the east and the North Sea to the west. Suffolk encompasses one of the most ancient parts of England and has maintained its largely agricultural roots. Consequently it is proving to be a growing favourite with tourists who want to experience incredible beaches, traditional country living, and pastoral beauty all in the same place.ContentsTownsVillagesOther destinations
UnderstandSuffolk's biggest appeal is its untouched essence. Ignored by tourists, it is perfect for those adventurous enough to get off the beaten track and explore the county. Full of unspoilt countryside and exquisite beaches, Suffolk is home to towns and villages of various small size. The capital town is Ipswich, one of England's oldest towns as testament to Suffolk's antiquity . This rural county in 2001 recorded just a 668,553 population, and so despite having ample shops and services, it remains the perfect antitode to urban life. Moreover it's geographical positioning means it is able to offer visitors a seaside trip at award-winning beaches, a rural retreat to the Norfolk Broads, and a historical haven in the Victorian town of Felixstowe. The coastal area that includes Lowestoft and Southwold is known at the Sunrise Coast [2]. Whilst Suffolk is by no means densely populated, it enjoys a strong community feel due to its small pockets of close-knit villages and hamlets in the county. In such an environment, meeting people and indulging in the company of others is certainly a fixture despite the lack of bars and clubs outside of Ipswich. Moreover, the busy market towns and the fashionable beaches often draw large crowds, particularly on festival/racing days of which there are many. Get inSuffolk has a wide variety of transport available to those visiting the county. Situated just two hours from London, Suffolk is accessible by car, bus and train. Car As a large county, Suffolk is accessible from many directions and despite it's idyllic isolation, is very well connected to the UK motorway system. If you are coming from the North of England or the Midlands the A14 runs from the M6/M1 junction crossing the A1 near Huntingdon, then running near to Cambridge, Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, and Ipswich before ending at the port of Felixstowe. Just east of Newmarket the A11 heads north past Thetford to Norwich. If you are entering the county from London, there are a number of main motorways that can be used. The A12 runs through Essex to Ipswich and Lowestoft whilst the M11 coming off the M25 runs close to the West of Suffolk through Cambridgeshire. Boat As a coastal county, Suffolk has its own port at Felixstowe. Whilst this has not operated in a commercial sense for some time, nearby ports at Harwich, Essex are, and it is still possible to travel by boat from the port to Europe. Stenaline runs regular services to the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark.Air Being a London satellite area, Suffolk is serviced by the London airports, in particular, Stansted. Stansted Airport is close to the M11 and is served by rail to London (Liverpool Street) and Cambridge, Peterborough and Ely. Stansted is the third largest London airport and has direct scheduled flights to Europe and other parts of the UK. There is also a regional airport, Norwich Airport in neighbouring county Norfolk. Bus Most bus routes will be to and from London, and most of the major towns and points of interest are serviced. There are occasional direct routes from Birmingham and Northern major cities. Prices vary between operators and time of year. Rail Formerly run by One Railways, most services in the Suffolk area are operated by National Express East Anglia. Trains from London to Ipswich, Newmarket or Felixstowe run between every 15 minutes to every hour, and are normally around an hour and a half. Prices vary depending on age, time of year, and operator, and usually include a sharp spike in price if tickets are bought on the day of travel. Get aroundOn Foot With some of the most beautiful natural scenes in the country, getting about on foot is a must. Getting muddy in the Norfolk broads, or taking a walk down the beach in Southwold are popular favourites. Due to the large size of the county, getting to neighbouring towns on foot is virtually impossible. However, towns can be thoroughly explored by foot and most towns are pedestrian friendly. Moreover, larger towns such as Ipswich and ancient market town Newmarket, are catered to pedestrians and shoppers. Bus Buses are operated by First Group Coach Services who run a regular service between towns. Prices vary depending on area and distance travelled, and late services are exceptionally limited and are reserved only for the large towns. Ipswich also offer a park and ride service to maintain the peacefulness of even it's largest town. Trains There are many different train routes running within Suffolk and to neighbouring counties, and most are operated by One Railway. Services by the operator have been criticised highly but are for the most part are regular with tickets available from National Rail. However, such services do not come cheap, with Suffolk train fares the 5th highest in the country- unusual considering the small population of the county and consequently lower demand. Car With the sheer breadth of the county, getting around by car is probably most convenient. Moreover with most towns connected by country lanes, and the rising price of fares, travelling by car is not only more convenient, but potentially cheaper.SeeItinerariesSuffolk is one of the largest counties in the UK and every town has something incredible to see. Newmarket is a world unto itself. This ancient market town, has remained faithful to it's regal roots, as the town that Charles II once set up home upon. Building his royal palace here, he established the first horse racecourse in Britain, a tradition that has remained in Newmarket today. Now devoted entirely to horseracing, the area has two racecourses, the July Course and the Rowley Mile- named after Charles II favourite horse 'Old Rowley'. Bury St Edmunds is another medieval market town known for its medieval ruins made up of a monastry destroyed by Henry VIII. It also is home to the awe-inspiring 16th Century Cathedral of St.Edmundsbury, a well preserved cathedral worthy of study. The market still runs today and sells local produce from the fens in keeping with the county's authentic traditionalism. Lavenham is perhaps the most picturesque of all the villages. Suffolk as a whole is known for its beautiful village houses of pink walls and black thatch, and Lavenham is the epitome of this. Especially popular with painters, Lavenham has over 300 listed buildings, most of them authentic medieval buildings, whilst being home to one of Britain's WW2 airfields. Now deserted with the natural landscape typical of Suffolk, it remains a thought-provoking and beautiful sight. Felixstowe is known as the 'Garden Resort of the East Coast' due to its exquisite seafront garden areas. The gardens are in many respects, a national treasure and they have been recognised on the English Heritage Register.
The Sunrise Coast is the name given to the East Anglian Coast of North Suffolk. It includes within this title, beaches, the Norfolk Broads National Park and some of the market towns. Lowestoft is home to two of the award-winning beaches in the area, whilst trendy beach Southwold offers a more classical beach holiday.
Ely is known for its breathtaking Cathedral, with spires to make any architect fan's heart race. John Russell Gallery is a perfect combination of tradition with a modern twist. Displaying art from East Anglian artists solely- most of which is focused on the landscape- this gallery specialises in the contemporary art sphere. DoDespite Suffolk's relaxed environment, with its royal history and devotion to heart-warming countryside tradition it is a treasure trove of activity begging to be discovered. Attending Newmarket on race day is an essential part of a trip to Suffolk. Take a 'flutter' and place a bet on some of the best horses racing in the country. The town is also a thriving shopping centre, with a wealth of eateries, shops and even overnight accommodation where needed.Southwold is home to Adnams brewery, a local brewer making beer and wine. This established and acclaimed brewer have attracted fame for their dedication to traditional brewing and high standards of drink. The products of the Adnams brewery rarely leaves the borders of Suffolk due to deterioriation in taste, so find out how these drinks are made with the brewery guided tour in Southwold. Suffolk is the festival hotspot of the country. Suffolk offers a number of cultural, traditional and family-oriented festivals. The most famous of these is Latitude festival, a popular music, arts and comedy festival held at Henham Park. Other festivals include Aldeburgh Festival- a festival of classical music set up by Benjamin Britten in the trendy/affluent area of Aldeburgh- and the two Southwold and Laversham Literature festivals.
Crabbing isn't just a hobby in Suffolk- it's a life. Check out the British Open Crabbing Championship held each year in Walberswick, growing in size each year, it is not uncommon for the event to attract over a thousand entrants. Visitors often take advantage of the beautiful River Ore boat trips- a favourite with the residents is the Orford quay to Richardson's Smokehouse trip, an excursion where patrons can sample freshly smoked fish and meat from a local family who have run the company for three generations. In Felixstowe, The Spa Pavilion Theatre caters for spectators all year round, with a variety of shows from pantomime to ballet. At Felixstowe Ferry, travellers can take a trip across the estuary to Bawdsey, and find out about about the place where radar began. For budding historians, there is nothing much more historical than Sutton Hoo. This national trust site served as a burial ground for Anglo-Saxon kings, and today there are various tours around the chamber. Orford is also home to Orford Castle, the former abode of Henry II. Explore the maze-like building itself, and compare to nearby castle, Framlingham Castle. EatSuffolk has a tasty selection of well-known restaurants serving a range of cuisine.

As with most commercial towns, Ipswich has been known to become rowdy on Friday on Saturdays, particularly around pub/nightclub close. Nonetheless, with frequent taxis available, vistors can feel secure provided they plan ahead. In other areas, staying safe against the elements becomes more pressing. If you are driving, make sure to drive slow on frosty days, or days with poor visibility, as Suffolk has many country lanes that are regularly used by drivers. If visiting the coasts, or the broads, be sure to tell someone where you are going, and ideally to reserve these areas for daytime. Get outLondon is just a two hour journey away from capital town, Ipswich if you crave the hustle and bustle of the big smoke. Trains normally run well into the evening so you can enjoy the city at your own pace. Sealand occupies an unusual position both geographically and politically and is well worth a visit. A kingdom in it's own right with it's own currency and flag, this tiny 'island' is the coast's most enthralling secret.
