Incentives for Continuing Criminal Justice Education are Better than Ever

Understanding and responding to the dangers of the post-9/11 world has become one of the most important priorities facing public safety professionals today. For this reason, well-educated and highly skilled professionals are in demand. Programs such as the online Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice degree at Portland State University (www.online.ccj.pdx.edu) help public safety professionals prepare for the challenges to come.

Portland, OR (PRWEB) July 19, 2006 -- Understanding and responding to the dangers of the post-9/11 world has become one of the most important priorities facing public safety professionals today. For this reason, well-educated and highly skilled professionals are in demand. Programs such as the online Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice degree at Portland State University (www.online.ccj.pdx.edu) help public safety professionals prepare for the challenges to come.
There has never been a better time than now or a greater need for law enforcement and other criminal justice professionals to continue their education. In May 2006, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security awarded $1.7 billion to states, urban areas, and territories to prepare for and respond to terrorist attacks and other disasters.

“The department is committed to ensuring that our partners have the training, equipment, and resources they need to become better prepared,” said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.

The message is clear, now is the perfect time for working criminal justice professionals to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice degree at Portland State, and thanks to the online program designed to work around their schedule, they can do so.

Portland State University’s online bachelor’s degree completion program offers working professionals the opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills needed for professional growth in the public safety fields. The program is run with the support of Compass Knowledge Group, a leader in online learning, providing services that help universities across the country find, recruit and retain students.

The advantage of the online degree is that public safety professionals from around the nation can participate in Portland State’s program while continuing with the demands of their careers.

“The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that by 2010 the demand for FBI Agents, Police Officers, Private Detectives, U.S. Customs and those in other professional criminal justice jobs will grow by more than 29%,” said Dr. Kris Henning, Program Director for Portland State University’s Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice Program.

All Things Great And Small: Google Checkout and Micropayments

I had heard about Google Checkout a while back and thought it made sense. After it doesn't hurt to have a competitor to PayPal, which I like.

Well, I ran across an article about it and decided to check it out and sign up. It seems pretty good. The idea of a central account that allows you to make purchases easily on-line is great, and their fees are low for sellers. And not passing the credit card along to vendors should help to reduce the security risk of that information being in many databases all over the place and more chances for the information to fall into the wrong hands.

But I was struck by a thought related to an interest I've had for several years now, and that is the question of Micro Payments. The challenge for selling things for small amounts of money, even fractions of a cent has been the costs involved with doing it. Some attempts have been made with systems that charge you a lump sum and then debit your account as you buy ring tones, music, photos, etc. The problem is that I don't think most Americans like this model. I always feel like my money is "tied up" when it could be doing other things for me. The other problem is fraud. Policing many millions of small transactions every day may be so costly that it eats into profits.

Well, I think I figured out the solution to the fraud issue a long time ago, but after mentioning it to a former employer who I thought might be interested, I have since kept my idea to myself. Perhaps I may still get a chance to share this idea with someone who could actually be in a position to see if it would work.... :-)

Anyway, I did a few searches on "google checkout micropayments" and found surprisingly few hits that had any information. Most stated that Google Checkout didn't offer micro-payments, most said that it wasn't ever going to happen, and only one thought that's what's next to be offered. So there are not many of us that can see the next logical step and that is Google Micropayments.

I think this will happen, because Google Checkout is in a perfect position to aggregate transactions to get the billing charges down low enough. Look for something like a Micropayment account where you can review all your charges and then get billed periodically, perhaps monthly. Merchants will get the same thing, a reporting system that allows the to track transactions on a detailed or summary level. Merchant fees will be low because the cost involved with be low. Google checkout will make it easy to buy bits and bytes with a simple login. Sales of wallpaper, icons, jokes, songs, and things we can't yet imagine will become even larger than they are now. Sites that don't sell things will have Virtual Tip Jars. Like a site? Toss a quarter in the tip jar. Want to donate to a charity easily? Slip a dollar into the tipjar. And, since you won't have to fill out a long checkout form, buying things with your handheld/phone will be easier. Wow!

This is so damn huge I can hardly stand it!

Of course, the huge potential will also draw the scammers, many of whom are smart enough to know that stealing a little from many is the low-profile way to go. Many see this as a problem that will quickly doom the concept of micropayments, but they don't know that I already have a solution... :-)

Alternative To High-Priced Bankruptcy Attorneys

 

Bankruptcy Services of America Provides Alternative To High-Priced Bankruptcy Attorneys

Bankruptcy attorneys typically charge $800 to $2,500 to file bankruptcy. Bankruptcy Services of America, a nationwide bankruptcy service, charges just $195 for a complete Chapter 7 or 13 consumer bankruptcy.

Jacksonville, (PRWEB) July 21, 2006 -- Bankruptcy Services of America today announced that it has prepared over 28,000 chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcies for individual consumers since it commenced operations in February, 2003.

While bankruptcy attorneys typically charge fees ranging from $800 to $2,500 to file bankruptcy, a complete chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy prepared by Bankruptcy Services of America costs just $195.

"Many people think they need an attorney to file bankruptcy", said Dean Holt, a case coordinator with Bankruptcy Services of America. "In most cases, however, the entire bankruptcy process consists of completing the Official Bankruptcy Forms, filing them with the bankruptcy court and attending a brief meeting with a bankruptcy trustee. No attorney is needed for this and no court hearing is required in most cases", says Holt.

Bankruptcy Services of America is a non-attorney bankruptcy service that is staffed by non-attorney bankruptcy preparers. "Our top bankruptcy preparers have over 24 years experience preparing bankruptcy forms and were formerly employed by bankruptcy attorneys and trustees", says Holt.

Those individuals seeking to file bankruptcy under the new bankruptcy laws that took effect on October 17, 2005 are paying much higher fees to bankruptcy attorneys, who have raised their fees as much as 100%. "That's to account for the increased liability the new law imposes on them, which will mean more time verifying and filing client documents", said Jeanne Sahadi, a senior writer at CNN/MONEY.

Many individuals are having their bankruptcy forms prepared by non-attorney "bankruptcy petition preparers", whose fees and services are regulated by the Bankruptcy Code and by local court rules and decisions in each jurisdiction.

Real Estate Agents Get Risk Free Leads

A 100% Money Back Guarantee Program Provides Real Estate Agents with Risk Free Leads 

 

July 20,2006 12:00 AM EST - GetMyHomesValue.com, an online home valuation site that connects real estate agents with consumers, provides realty professionals with a guaranteed number of leads. (FVNEWSWIRE Jul 12, 2006)
   
Lancaster, PA (FV Newswire) - GetMyHomesValue.com, an online home valuation site that connects real estate agents with consumers wanting to sell, buy or refinance a home, today announced its new guarantee program. GetMyHomesValue.com is guaranteeing subscribers a specific number of leads within their six-month contract. If clients do not receive the specified number of leads agreed then GetMyHomesValue.com will give them a 100% refund.

 

"We are so confident in our lead program and the ability it has for agents to grow their business that we wanted to offer a 100% money back guarantee," said GetMyHomesValue Chief Motivational Officer Rory Wilfong.

 

GetMyHomesValue.com provides real estate agents with true exclusive real estate leads by zip code to grow their business. This differs from most other online lead sites that divide zip code zones among multiple agents. GetMyHomesValue.com subscription-based service operates in states across the USA, giving committed real estate agents a key advantage in the highly competitive real estate industry. GetMyHomesValue.com provides agents with contact information for consumers who have requested an obligation-free house valuation.

 

"This new guarantee program offers real value to our subscribers because we are guaranteeing a specific number of leads during a six-month subscription. If we don’t give them that number of leads, even if they receive just one short of the number of leads agreed, they will still receive a full refund," said Wilfong.

 

"We have added a new level of performance and assurance for agents that they will receive the number of leads they expect and need to grow their business. Essentially we have taken away any risk or potential for disappointment," said Wilfong.

 

According to Allen Wilkerson, real estate agent in San Diego, California and a GetMyHomesValue.com subscriber, "The fact that I am able to subscribe by zip code and that all leads generated from that zip code come exclusively to me was a key factor in choosing GetMyHomesValue.com. The agent to resident ratio in California has increased 30% since 2004, creating a very competitive market and GetMyHomesValue.com has helped me get ahead of the competition." Wilkerson just listed a $925,000 condo in San Diego from a lead received by GetMyHomesValue.com.

 

GetMyHomesValue.com new guarantee program initially is available to agents and brokers in Maryland, New Jersey, Texas, Virginia, Florida, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Washington DC and California. GetMyHomesValue.com expects to expand the new guarantee program to other states overtime.

 

Subscribers will continue to take advantage of GetMyHomesValue.com’s unique Veri-Lead and Veri-Link program. As part of its Veri-Lead program, GetMyHomesValue.com actively attempts to verify that contact information for consumers is accurate and if practicable initiates a three-way call between consumer, real estate agent and GetMyHomesValue.com, as part of its advanced Veri-Link service.

 

"Our aim at GetMyHomesValue.com is to take some of the anxiety out of that initial call. We act like a type of consumer concierge turning a cold call into a warm lead, bringing potential client and real estate professional together. In a way we’re helping orchestrate what may be a long-term relationship that will benefit both the consumer and real estate professional," said Wilfong   

 

In addition to setting up in-person contacts where possible, a service that is unique, GetMyHomesValue.com also provides agents with personalized coaching from sales professionals who understand the importance of successfully converting GetMyHomesValue.com leads into clients, helping subscribers refine their sales skills for the greatest success.

 

"There are many valuable techniques that agents can use to turn leads into a commission. GetMyHomesValue.com representatives are available to help agents achieve their goals by educating them on marketing ideas that will help them grow their business," said Wilfong.

 

For additional information on becoming a subscriber to the guarantee program with GetMyHomesValue.com call 1-877-54-LEADS or see www.verilead.getmyhomesvalue.com.

Next Investment In Consumer Health Care May Be Telemedicine

 

Telemedicine: The Next Investment In Consumer Health Care

eNotes Systems Plans to Enable Health Care at a Distance – Just What the Doctor Ordered

Pacific Palisades, Calif. (PRWEB) July 20, 2006 -- When it comes to consumer health care, technology will never replace the human factor such as the maverick medical genius of Dr. Gregory House depicted on FOX TV’s House or the friendly general practitioner at a medical center near you. But, telemedicine has the potential to extend the human touch and transform the way health care is delivered.

The American Telemedicine Association defines telemedicine as the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve patients' health status. Whether telemedicine is defined using layman’s terms—(the transmission of still images, video, and other forms of medical data between rural and urban areas) or tech-speak—(the use of advanced telecommunications technologies for the delivery of clinical care), telemedicine is a, multi-billion dollar market that is destined to improve consumer health care around the globe.

The application may be as straightforward as two healthcare professionals talking about a case over the phone or as intricate as using satellite technology and video-conferencing equipment to conduct a real-time consultation between medical specialists in two different states or even countries.

As telemedicine technologies continues to experience rapid growth, with companies like AT&T, Intel Corporation-Digital Health Group, and Sony Electronics providing the bandwidth and hardware, it allows innovative companies such as Los Angeles-based eNotes Systems (OTCBB:ENSY), which is currently developing their product suite, to make telemedicine a reality, enabling physicians and other health care providers to examine, treat and monitor patients remotely without compromising standards of care.

"Simply stated, telemedicine is about enabling providers of healthcare services to deliver quality care to individuals who are remotely located from the specialty health care they need. Whether it's allowing physicians to examine patients via the Internet from miles away or continuing education for rural health practitioners who may not be able to take part in professional meetings or educational opportunities, telemedicine is experiencing rapid expansion around the globe," said Jeff Flammang, CEO of eNotes Systems.

For stock investors and early shareholders looking for high growth investment opportunities, their next investment opportunity may be in developmental stage telemedicine technology companies. Whether an investment in telemedicine benefits radiology--so specialists can read and interpret x-rays on-line--or cardiology—so reports such as electrocardiograms (EKGs) can be readily transmitted from an EKG machine for reading and interpretation—it’s evident to eNotes Systems that these kind of technologies in the health care industry are needed and are here to stay, reaching doctors and patients alike in all corners of the globe.

Canadian Pharmacies Necessary Healthcare Solution

 

Senate Bill Confirms Canadian Pharmacies as Necessary Healthcare Solution

Drug importation debate stoked by passage of U.S. Senate Bill prohibiting Customs officials from seizing medications from Canada. New political momentum verifies Canadian online pharmacies are still a recommended cure for excessive drug prices and that the mail will get through.

Winnipeg, Canada (PRWeb) July 20, 2006 – The U.S. senate has affirmed its support for drug importation from Canada by passing a bill aimed at curbing Customs seizures of packages sent by licensed online Canadian pharmacies. By a 68-32 vote, the Senate has demonstrated that Canadian pharmacies are alive and well and offering the best alternative to outrageously high drug prices. Legitimate pharmacies like Rx Care Canada (www.RxCareCanada.com) dispense safe and affordable prescription medications and guarantee delivery.

The Senate legislation was introduced by Sen. David Vitter, Louisiana Republican:
"We should demand that Customs and Border Protection focus on the true priority that we face on the war on terror," said Vitter, of efforts to secure U.S. borders. "Stripping small amounts of prescription drugs from the hands of seniors ... that should not be a priority."

Canadian online pharmacies are more relevant than ever because they offer international options for fulfilment of prescriptions at even lower prices through partner pharmacies licensed in their home jurisdiction. With a simple toll free call, Americans that pay out-of-pocket for their medications can enjoy immense savings. Ordering through a trusted Canadian pharmacy may be a welcome solution for the un and underinsured as well as seniors that have fallen into the infamous Medicare D doughnut hole.

“We’ve gone global and our patients love it” explains William Skubovius, Chief Operating Officer of Rx Care Canada.Com Pharmacy (www.RxCareCanada.com). “They now have a safe conduit to low cost medications worldwide proving that affordability need not come at the expense of safety.”

Canadian pharmacies applaud the Senate action, and it appears that seizure activity has already subsided in recent months. The reduction in seizures coupled with re-ship policies that guarantee patient delivery have maintained the trust and viability of international mail-order pharmacies like Rx Care Canada.

“The seizure issue has been grossly overstated. Less than 1% of packages are intercepted and those that are get re-shipped immediately”, adds Skubovius. “American consumers need not be deterred, Canadian pharmacies are back and are bigger and better than ever.”

RxCareCanada Pharmacy is licensed by the Manitoba Pharmaceutical Association (IPS license # 32690) and has been safely dispensing medications to American patients for 4 years. All Canadian drugs are dispensed and carefully reviewed by licensed pharmacists.

Federal Bureau of Prisons Can Not Limit Community Corrections Center Placement

 

Federal Prison: Community Corrections Center (CCC) Placement decisions in the Third and Eighth Circuits

The Federal Bureau of Prisons can not limit Community Corrections Center Placement AKA Halfway House Placement to the last 10% of a federal inmates sentence in the 3rd and 8th Circuits, as ruled by both Circuit's of the U.S. Court of Appeals.

(PRWEB) July 15, 2006 -- Community Corrections Center (CCC) Placement decisions in the Third and Eighth Circuits:

In the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit -Woodall v. Bureau of Prisons, 432 F.3d 235 (3d Cir. 2005) and the Eighth Circuit - Fults v. Sanders, 442 F.3d 1088 (8th Cir. 2006), a federal inmate challenged the lawfulness of the Bureau’s regulation which limits community corrections center placement to 10 percent of the sentence to be served, not to exceed 6 months. Both Circuits ruled it inappropriate for the Bureau to categorically limit CCC placements as provided in its federal regulation because it did not allow for full consideration of the factors provided in 18 U.S.C. Section 3621(b). Therefore, inmates in these circuits can once again be directly designated to CCCs and inmates in prisons in these circuit states can be transferred to CCCs in excess of the 10 percent provision.

The Third Circuit includes: Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. The Eighth Circuit includes: Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North and South Dakota.

For more information on how to receive the maximum Community Custody Placement and other programs of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, please contact Federal Prison Consultants, LLC at 800.431.6258.

Industry Standards Set in Growing Flexible Printed Circuit Board Market

 

Advanced Circuits Sets Industry Standard in Growing Flexible Printed Circuit Board Market

Leading printed circuit board manufacturer brings user tools and flex board turn time in five days guaranteed.

Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) July 15, 2006 -- Advanced Circuits, the country’s leading source for quick-turn printed circuit boards (PCB), today announced a five day guaranteed lead time for flexible circuit board delivery. In the printed circuit board industry that is rapidly growing, Advanced Circuits is working to meet the increased PCB demand with optimal customer satisfaction.

According to DKN Research, the global flex board market will see a 12.6 percent annual volume growth and a 10.9 percent revenue increase through 2010.

Increasing Demand For Printed Circuit Boards

This projected growth can be accredited to the ever growing number of new electronic devices making it to market that demand the unique features of flex circuit boards including reduced packaging size and higher reliability. In addition, the decreasing cost of purchasing flex circuits make this option more cost effective.

Five Day Lead Time Guaranteed On PCB Orders

“By guaranteeing a five day lead time, we are saving our customers a very valuable commodity – time. It is typical in the flex board industry for lead time to take two to six weeks, which does not sufficiently accommodate the time-sensitive demands our customers are dealing with,” said John Yacoub, president and CEO of Advanced Circuits. “We know that our customer’s time is valuable and we are doing everything we can to ensure that as the industry grows we deliver the highest quality and best services available.”

How To Avoid Common Mistakes in Flex Design

In addition to its quick-turn delivery, Advanced Circuits provides valuable tools for flex board design engineers including design tips, design guidelines and flex circuit diagrams. The “10 Most Common Mistakes in Flex Design”, one of these tools, is a list of potential design errors and a popular resource on Advanced Circuits’ website. It provides engineers with guidance on how to avoid common errors, thus avoiding costly delays and ensuring on time shipment.

Flex Circuits

Flexible printed circuits are designed to be flexible and durable for projects with fine line traces, high-density circuitry, high temperatures and space restrictions. Flex circuits are primarily used to accommodate extremely small areas, a need that is most commonly seen in industries such as medical electronics, military, aerospace, disc drive/storage and optics. However, as products are becoming smaller, many more industries are using flex circuits for their products.

Toll-Free Consumer Bankruptcy Laws Hotline

 

Houston-Based Law Firm, Busby & Lee, P.C. Launches Toll-Free Consumer Hotline to Address Confusion over new Bankruptcy Laws

The Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer Protection Act, also known as BACPA, not only changed the bankruptcy law, it created a significant amount of confusion and misinformation among consumers, the media and even creditors. In an attempt to help clarify the confusion, the Houston, Texas based law firm of Busby and Lee, P.C. set-up a new consumer bankruptcy hotline number, 1-888-422-6423, to answer general questions about the Act.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) July 12, 2006 -- The Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer Protection Act, also known as BACPA, not only changed the bankruptcy law, it created a significant amount of confusion and misinformation among consumers, the media and even creditors. In an attempt to help clarify the confusion, the Houston, Texas based law firm of Busby and Lee, P.C. set-up a new consumer bankruptcy hotline number, 1-888-422-6423, to answer general questions about the Act.

The hotline addresses the issues and concerns of individuals facing lawsuits, foreclosure, and/or repossession, particularly individuals who may be contemplating bankruptcy due to debt problems. The hotline was the brainchild of attorneys Michael G. Busby, Jr., and Ricardo Contreras, who along with a dedicated staff of professionals, spent several weeks in the summer of 2005 attending various national seminars in preparation for the implementation of the reform act.

“Many consumers are complaining about collection agencies stating that the consumers cannot file for bankruptcy or that the consumer will not qualify as a result of the new act,” according to Michael Busby, a partner with the firm that specializes in consumer bankruptcy, family law and criminal law, “The truth is that simply may not be the case.”

“While the Act has definitely added to the complexity of the situation, it has not eliminated options for consumers faced with debt-related problems,” he added. “About 80% of those consumers contemplating bankruptcy fall under the median income for their state. Median income is issued by the U.S. census bureau, and it is determined by the household size and income. If the debtor falls below the median income then the debtor will likely qualify for chapter 7.”

Chapter 7 versus Chapter 13
Attorney Ricardo Contreras adds, “For those debtors who fall into the 20% of the above-median income, this doesn’t mean that you are barred from filing a bankruptcy; instead, a test called the “means test” must be performed. Under the “means test,” the debtor’s income is determined by the last six months of income received and guidelines establish whether or not a Chapter 7 filing is applicable or if a Chapter 13 debt consolidation is required.

“Many variables factor into the determination of Chapter 7 versus Chapter 13 eligibility,” Contreras continues. “The new regulations point to the need for professional advice for anyone seeking bankruptcy protection.”

For most debtors the paperwork is the same. However, one constant is that every debtor must undergo credit counseling before the case can be filed. The policy behind the credit counseling requirement is to encourage the debtor to attempt a debt management plan or a consolidation of their credit cards with a non-for-profit entity. The entities approved to conduct the counseling are, for the most part, undergoing a budget analysis, which concludes that filing bankruptcy is the only option. Busby & Lee, P.C., provides the debtor with a list of authorized providers.

Even if a debtor cannot file a Chapter 7, Busby & Lee, P.C., would still recommend a Chapter 13 bankruptcy vs. a private consolidation. Generally, the repayment plan proposed in a Chapter 13 is easier for the debtor to budget than the consolidation payment. Also, many times in a Chapter 13, the debtor will not pay 100% of the credit cards back. Most of the time there is no interest paid on the credit cards, and no issue exists in trying to negotiate lower interest rates, as with the a private consolidation. At the same time, penalties and over the limit fees are no longer assessed against the debtor. Finally, the debtor may consolidate secured debt in the Chapter 13, which cannot be done in a private consolidation.

Research Identifies Retirement Firm Web Sites

 

Retirement Outlook? Bad. Can the Web Help?

New Research Identifies Which Retirement Firm Web Sites Are Making Retirement Planning and Saving Easier.

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 12, 2006 -- Most Americans are woefully behind on their retirement savings. In theory, the web should offer some hope. The web should allow people to become better informed about retirement planning. The web should make it easy to get started with the right kind of retirement account, thus making saving easier. Unfortunately, the web sites of most firms offering retirement solutions make learning about retirement options much harder than it needs to be.

According to new research released today by Change Sciences Group, more than 50% of sites offering retirement solutions make it hard to find the retirement section of the site, let alone make use of it. For people that make it to the retirement section of the site, about half of the sites do not provide the most basic information about retirement fundamentals, such as finding clear, easy to read definitions of account types, or getting a clear definition of "tax deferral".

What about Full Service?

Most full service brokerages, while sometimes providing helpful content, make it extremely difficult to set up an account, forcing people who may just want to roll over funds to request a printed form, fill it out and fax it back. Most banks don't do much better.

To jump to report details visit:
http://changesciences.com/cgi-bin/reports.html

"Most sites are either cluttered up with too much content that's not written for the web, or too Spartan to be of any use," said Steve Ellis, a Change Sciences partner. "For brokerages, full service or discount, not having a meaningful retirement web strategy simply turns away a wide range of prospects."

There are some bright spots. A handful of sites have taken significant steps toward making their retirement sites easy to use and informative. The best site is more than three and a half times better than the worse site, and more than two times better than the average site. The three best retirement sites overall are:
1. Vanguard
2. Wells Fargo
3. TD Ameritrade

Other sites covered in the report include: A.G. Edwards, AIG SunAmerica, AIG VALIC, American Century, Ameriprise, AXA Advisors, Bank of America, Charles Schwab, Chase, Citibank, E*Trade, Edward Jones, Fidelity, Key Bank, Marshall & Ilsley, Merrill Lynch, MetLife, Morgan Stanley, National City, Piper Jaffray, PNC Investments, Prudential, Scottrade, Smith Barney, SunTrust, T. Rowe Price, TD Ameritrade, TIAA-CREF, US Bank, Vanguard, Wachovia, WaMu Financial, Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, and Wells Fargo.

How to Create Endless Leads for Free

 

37-Year Old Engineer from Texas Shows MLM Reps How to Create Endless Leads for Free

Wasting time and money on old leads is the downfall of most new businesses. New businesses want customers and prospects to search them out and ask to join their business or purchase their products. Magnetic Sponsoring empowers the business owner to spend their prospecting time more efficiently.

McKinney, TX (PRWEB) July 12, 2006 -- Wasting time and money on old leads that have been called by numerous other reps or even leads that no longer exist is the cause of most network marketing businesses failures. According to LSU's (Louisiana State University) School Of Marketing, along with the annual reports of many mlm companies, only 2% of network marketers earn substantial incomes. Similar studies indicate that 97% of network marketers fail. To be more specific, 97% of network marketers never reach a positive cashflow in their business.

What if there was a way to generate an endless supply of leads for free without making the “100 warm market list” the “gurus” teach explicitly, how much could be saved each month? Now, what if those people were actually paying to be prospected?

People today are smarter about network marketers and multi-level marketing. They have been chased, hounded and run down by network marketers trying to shove their product or opportunity down their throat. The very first sign that someone is trying to sell them something has them shutting down or hanging up on the spot.    

Successful recruiting has become a big problem for network marketers. Old ideas of buying lists of prospects (leads) and cold calling them no longer rates No. 1 in terms of results, yet it is still being taught by seasoned network marketers. The majority of the information on those lists is outdated and oversold. A person could spend hours and days with little to no success. The person calls their sponsor for advice on what to differently. The advice given almost always begins with do more of it.

Magnetic Sponsoring provides a system that allows the business owner to redirect dollars and time spent on lead lists and cold calling into other areas of the business, such as training, upgrading and advertising. The system is automated leaving the home business entrepreneur with more time

To illustrate the importance of not wasting time on old, outdated methods, here is a story about “The Gazelle and The Lion.” Every Morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you’d better be running.

Magnetic Sponsoring gives power to the competent business owner and lets him/her achieve substantial success in a relatively short period of time. The process is fully automated allowing for more time to work on advertising campaigns and training.

Site Matches Certified Insured Contractors with Home Owners, Realtors

 

Matching Certified Insured Contractors with Home Owners, Realtors

noababoa is a web-based service that connects certified, insured handymen, contractors, painters, movers and other service providers to property managers, home owners, realtors and others seeking these services.

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) July 8, 2006 -- noababoa launched a new web-based service (www.noababoa.com) in the San Francisco/Silicon Valley area that addresses a market need: It connects certified, insured handymen, contractors, painters, movers and other service providers to property managers, home owners, realtors and others seeking these services.

The initial reaction might be: "So what? Don’t we have Craigslist and Angie’s List?" The key difference in noababoa is that service providers are licensed and ensured, providing greater protection to the consumer and that it works with a more effective rating system for contractors and consumers (after every auction has ended). So-called “reviews” from homeowners from other sites can often be skewed or bogus. Also, noababoa's service works as an auction, a little like ebay, except that in this case the best bid among contractors wins.

This type of service has been a success in countries like Germany, and will be here. As noababoa is still working to get the service off the ground, we’d love to talk to anybody about it if interested. Please goto www.noababoa.com to find contact information or call (415) 508 3761.

Consumers Get Access To DNA Testing

 

MyMedLab.com and Chromosomal Laboratory Announce Partnership to Deliver Cutting-Edge DNA Testing Directly to Consumers

Chromosomal Laboratory of Phoenix, AZ, a DNA testing specialist and MyMedLab.com, a national Direct-to-Consumer provider, announce a new partnership. Working together allows each to concentrate on their respective specialties while continuing to be innovators in their field. The combination of services is designed to put state-of-the-art DNA Testing in the hands of every consumer.

Joplin, MO (PRWEB) July 11, 2006 -- Completion of the Human Genome Project continues to result in new discoveries in the field of Genetics on a nearly routine basis. Chromosomal Labs, a proven leader in the DNA field, specializes in many testing methods and services that didn’t exist even a few years ago. The process of unlocking the mystery of our genetic code is revolutionizing the health care and legal industries simultaneously. The newly formed partnership provides a way to speed up the delivery process for both current and future technologies.

One service that will be available immediately to consumers will be DNA Paternity Testing, or identifying a child’s biological father by DNA. Establishing paternity includes not only the legal issues of parental custody and child support but is becoming increasing important in providing new health insight into family history and chronic disease. DNA Paternity services will now be available nationwide, directly to consumers (except in New York state where consumers will need a doctor’s order to access testing) from MyMedLab.com corporate web site.

The national presence of MyMedLab.com allows families living in different parts of the country to use a single source for the entire process. It gives consumers direct access to convenient, affordable testing in their own community through MyMedLab's network of more than 2000 partner collection sites across the U.S. Sample collection for DNA Paternity testing utilizes buccal swabs, or check swabs, that are both non-invasive and completely painless. Results of these tests are legally binding and court admissible in all 50 states.

Private cases, or those not involving legal issues, can be purchased from the MyMedLab.com web site and collected in the privacy of the home. Consumers receive a collection kit that includes everything needed to perform the “cheek swab” collection along with a mailer to ship samples directly to Chromosomal. Private case testing allows sensitive family issues to be dealt with in a manner that maintains strict privacy and limits family disruptions. The entire process is completely confidential and provides guaranteed accurate results within 3 business days.

Additional services including Forensic Testing and Genealogy will continue to be added as the technology becomes available. “We are very excited to be offering several new and fascinating ancestry tests through MyMedLab.com that allow people to trace their ancestral heritage back up to 60,000 years,” reports Vladimir Bolin, CEO of Chromosomal Laboratories, Inc.

“This new technology provide a fascinating look at a person’s entire ancestral migration going all the way back to Genetic Adam in Africa. Males pass the Y Chromosome to their sons unchanged except for a very small number of mutations or changes in the "Y" chromosome. These “point mutations”, as they’re called, allow us to follow a male’s ancestral migration into Europe, the Middle East, and beyond”, says Bolin.         

MyMedLab.com will continue to use its expertise in consumer education to remove barriers in a health care system that predates the “Information Age”. David Clymer, CEO of MyMedLab.com explains, “The old version simply doesn’t account for an educated patient or today’s information-savvy consumer. One could go even further by saying that health care is the only industry left that protects the consumer from their own information.

Patients today encounter many obstacles for even routine tasks like viewing medical records at their doctor’s office. This process, guaranteed by recent HIPAA regulations, can require signing multiple consent forms just to see your own records. It’s not uncommon for most consumers to have never seen their lab results or much less have a copy for future reference. The old version leaves consumers completely dependent on their provider for all their health education and how much the provider is willing to disclose.

This is most apparent in the area of Wellness. Doctors today, see more patients a day than ever before. Limited time with patients requires treating a health problem quickly leaving little time to talk about wellness and prevention. At MyMedLab.com, we know the field of Genetics will play a huge part in the future of health care. It will provide answers to many age-old questions. Partnering with Chromosomal allows us to stay on the cutting edge of the science and play a major role in fundamentally changing the way consumers learn about their health.”

Clymer says, “The real mission of MyMedLab.com is to help consumers create their own Confidential Health Record, much like they already have for financial and legal matters. Knowing family history and tracking health over time are the keys to understanding health, it’s exactly what their doctor does. The difference is that instead of thousands of cases to learn about like their physician, the consumer only one, their own. The amount of information that is available to consumers today is truly mind-boggling, what it requires is time and access. MyMedLab.com is committed to delivering the science that consumers need to make wiser choices about their health.    

Combining your family’s genetic pre-disposition with periodic screenings can virtually stop many chronic diseases from ever developing. That’s Wellness. In health care today, 20% of the patients use 80% of the care that is given. Our consumers are the 80% of Americans trying desperately to stay healthy and out of the “Sick Care” system. That system focuses on the treatment of existing disease; the future uses science to prevent them. It can identify many potential problems early, even before symptoms arise. This is when changes in lifestyle can have a huge impact on many chronic diseases like Type II Diabetes and Heart Disease.

We can’t help but be excited about our partnership with Chromosomal. The fascinating field of Genetics, though still in its infancy, is quickly finding its way into all areas of daily life. We’re thrilled to be a part of bringing this potentially life-saving information to consumers. There are so many exciting things coming in the near future and this collaboration will insure that the public can take full advantage of the emerging technology.

Our partnership will also utilize all of the advances in the delivery of information to the public. New vehicles like podcasts, streaming video and on-demand information will play a huge part as we move forward. These new platforms allow even complicated subjects to be seen and explained in terms that consumers can understand.”

About MyMedLab.com
MyMedLab.com is a revolutionary health care provider designed to be a consumer-friendly source of potentially life saving health information. The company has been providing convenient, affordable, and high quality testing services to physicians and patients in the Midwest since 1993.

Matching Certified Insured Contractors with Home Owners, Realtors

noababoa is a web-based service that connects certified, insured handymen, contractors, painters, movers and other service providers to property managers, home owners, realtors and others seeking these services.

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) July 8, 2006 -- noababoa launched a new web-based service (www.noababoa.com) in the San Francisco/Silicon Valley area that addresses a market need: It connects certified, insured handymen, contractors, painters, movers and other service providers to property managers, home owners, realtors and others seeking these services.

The initial reaction might be: "So what? Don’t we have Craigslist and Angie’s List?" The key difference in noababoa is that service providers are licensed and ensured, providing greater protection to the consumer and that it works with a more effective rating system for contractors and consumers (after every auction has ended). So-called “reviews” from homeowners from other sites can often be skewed or bogus. Also, noababoa's service works as an auction, a little like ebay, except that in this case the best bid among contractors wins.

This type of service has been a success in countries like Germany, and will be here. As noababoa is still working to get the service off the ground, we’d love to talk to anybody about it if interested. Please goto www.noababoa.com to find contact information or call (415) 508 3761.
