Embryonic Stem Cells Research Bill: Veto shows moral courage
President George W. Bush should be applauded for its July 19, 2006, veto of the bill embryonic stem cell research funding. He had the courage to do the right thing despite the enormous political pressure.
Embryonic stem cells are extracted from the blastocyst about five days after fertilization (IVF). In other words, a new human life is conceived and then, after a few days is killed in order to obtain the stem cells. President Bush is right to condone, promote, finance or even killing that is going through a moral line that should be unacceptable to all.
Again: when does life begin?
This brings up again the definition of when life begins has been discussed ad nauseum in the battles pro-life/pro-choice since before Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in most of 1973. Pro-choice supporters have felt that life begins at birth, while pro-life advocates point to conception as the moment life begins.
Roe decided a mediating position, concentrating on the road, the point at which a fetus can survive outside the womb. It is believed that abortions during the first quarter, one state has compelling interest t0 ensure that abortions are performed by a licensed physician in a clinical setting. In the second quarter, further state's interest is to protect maternal health. During the third quarter (or after viability), the State may restrict abortions to those women whose lives are endangered by a continuation of their pregnancy.
In the three decades since Roe, the advances in prenatal medicine have prompted the viability closer and closer to conception, making Roe obsolete rules. Many children are born today, following in vitro fertilization and subsequent implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus of a donor or a surrogate mother. Approximately 22% of the IVFs result in live births.
The pro-life position on when life begins is simple: when conception occurs, the resulting embryo is a unique human being genetically indistinguishable from a baby, and it's definitely alive. Everything that happens after you add the nutrition and growth. To conclude that life for any reason is morally wrong. Certainly we do not want to start an industry dedicated to the creation of human life, only to kill while the collection of blood components to be used as "spare parts".
The Bible affirms the value of human life by pointing to God as its source. All human beings derive their life from the original couple, Adam and Eve, whose life came directly from God Himself (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:07, 21-23, 5:1-2). It recognizes the continuity between the prenatal and neonatal life (Psalm 139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:4, Luke 1:41-45).
There is no alternative?
Stem cell research offers many promising approaches to treat diseases such as cancer, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, heart disease, spinal cord, and liver failure. Do not turn our backs on the millions who suffer from these debilitations opposing factory as the production of embryonic stem cells that kill embryos? No!
A number of alternatives exist for obtaining embryonic stem cells, including the lines to be grown in the laboratory, the cells collected from the umbilical cord blood (previously discarded after birth, but now collected in a growing number of hospitals), the cells retrieved from the pulp of baby teeth, etc. Adult stem cells are an alternative source that is finding increasing demands.
We affirm the value of human life, protecting it from becoming a commodity to be bought and sold. At the same time, we continue to develop therapeutic applications of stem cells. There is an either / or dilemma.
Want to dig deeper? Authoritative information on stem cells from all sources is available from the National Institute of Health.Check out "Do No Harm", the site of the Coalition of Americans for Research Ethics (stemcellresearch.org), which is primarily aimed at providing information Trusted about the superiority of adult stem cells in embryonic stem cells for the development of therapeutic treatments. The famous saying, "Do no harm", is neither the famous oath of Hippocrates', originally the creed of all physicians, but from another work of Hippocrates, On the epidemics 1.2.5. The oath of Hippocrates the same concepts, including prohibitions on euthanasia and abortion. In modern times the oath has undergone substantial changes, the changes that undermine this principle in order to avoid damage and completely omit any reference to prohibitions.For above the value of blood cord blood as a source of stem cells that avoids the controversy over the killing of human life, do a web search for "Stem Cells Sans Discord."...

The phenomenon called Retail (Part II)
This is in continuation to my previous article where we discussed the important factors that differentiate organized retail for mom conventional and pop shops.
Economies of scale: Most retail businesses operate on a model in which the purchase is made centrally in large volumes. As a result, the level for negotiating with suppliers and increases the acquisition occurs on very low rates. This cost saving is the main factor that determines the high levels of profitability of supermarkets.
Better quality: The advantage is not only in terms of costs, but also in terms of quality. When the order amount is high, suppliers take it more seriously and focus on the quality of their products. Moreover, the expectation of huge orders creates a strong competition between the suppliers and manufactures. As a result of this competition, the efforts on improving the quality and increase innovation, thereby greatly benefit the end customer.
Impressive range: organized retail stores operate normally in large spaces, and also because of their high purchasing power, are able to offer large product ranges. This is another reason for their popularity among customers who are able to provide the variety much better in every segment.
Customer Focus: Organized retail works on the concept of customer satisfaction. Realizing the value of customer loyalty, various mechanisms are used to impress clients. It is a systematic approach to customer feedback and timely resolution to complaints. Sophisticated CRM applications are distributed in order to keep track of the correct data of customers and their buying behavior. This not only helps to customer satisfaction, but also allows the company to detail are more adaptable in terms of ever-changing tastes and preferences of customers .......
Effective online marketing campaigns
Complaints popular
The most frequent complaint I hear when talking on the topic of online marketing is: "I just spent a lot of money on my Web site and receives no traffic." I always explain to the owner disenchanted Web site that put up a website and not actively marketing it like to spend some money on slick marketing materials, then just presenting it in a drawer and wonders why she does not grow legs and go sell things for you . Your Web site, such as your print material is an inanimate object, and you are its master.
As the Internet becomes increasingly crowded and competitive, you can not expect the aspiring prospects to come after you. It 's your responsibility (not your web site) to go find them. The good news is that once you understand how the game works and make the commitment to do whatever it takes to find your prospects and pull in, there is no reason why you can not have a Web site popular.
The easiest part of owning a website is building one (which does not mean that it is easy to build a Web site interesting.) The most labor-intensive and frustrating to have a successful Web presence begins after the website was launched, though. If you are not willing to "work" your site, then you probably will not do you much good to spend the money needed to build it.
The second most frequent question: "I already spend money to market my products / services, now I have to spend money on marketing my website also, why should not I just save my money and use of traditional forms of marketing that have worked for me in the past? "A website is an incredibly cost-effective marketing tool when you consider that every person you talk about your Web site or take your business card or marketing brochures, can go online 24/7 and read all about your business. What would it cost to put an ad in the newspaper like this? On TV? On the radio? On a billboard? A well-planned Web site is the cheapest marketing tool ever created - if it is properly promoted.
If you are a conscious consumer, a nice interactive website is relatively inexpensive these days. Depending on the size of the site and the necessary features, a custom-designed site can cost up to several thousand dollars - usually between 3.5K-15K for a business to small and medium enterprises, and 40-60K range for most companies large, depending on the sector and the necessary characteristics. If a website is designed well, should have a shelf life (with some minor updates) about three years.
Entertain or educate
People visiting the Web site for two reasons - to be entertained or educated. The most popular Web sites to find a way to do both. Here is where you must "think out of the box". Identify a unique feature or service that you could put on your website that your competitors do not have. Use your imagination. Have a contest among employees to work to come with a unique interactive feature or two. Ask your friends, customers and partners for advice. Chances are that whatever you dream up can be done in a relatively inexpensive way with existing technology.
Site Launch Frenzy
Always make a big deal out of your Web site launch. A feast. Issue a press release. Call your local newspaper. Send postcards. Have a contest. Giving away something through your website with an online application form, then announce the winner on the Web at any given moment and look at the peak of Web traffic that day. Mass E-mail all your customers, partners, prospects, friends and family with a link to your new Web site, along with an online poll (located on the new site) asking them to rate your new website. Everyone likes to play the critic, and this motivates people much more to go check your new website. If you end up getting negative feedback, and probably take with a grain of salt. You will find that some complaints are valid and others not, so take an objective look at the feedback. Make the anonymous survey so that will have no reason not to go to your site. If you try to get their e-mail too soon can scare them.
Tricks of the Trade
Ø Publication "informative" articles by submitting them to online payment services article submission. Always include a link to your Web site in any article (online or offline) that you write. These services allow you to send your items via an online form, then they jump out at them constantly updated list of publishers. Send your articles only to the category of publisher so your items are appropriate. Two of these services are http://www.ezinetrendz.com and http://www.submityourarticle.com If you send an item through one of the services mentioned above, you will get emails from publishers and webmasters who tells you that have / will publish your article or send to their web sites (if it is a good article). If it is a bad article you will know quickly because no one will pick it up.
Or Post your own newsletter online and use it to up-sell existing customers and interest to your prospects. The article should have a blurb and a function button "more" that actually takes readers to the web site.
or e-mail press releases to your entire mailing list (with web link included).
Ø Get a professional association whose members are your potential prospects to sponsor free seminars and gain permission to send all combined to invite them to register online for your free informational seminar. Of course, the online registration form is ON YOUR WEB SITE.
o If you are still using some form of traditional advertising, be sure to always include your web address in the ad. This may seem obvious, but I see all the time examples of companies that fail to link their Web sites on billboards, newspaper ads, etc.
or Reciprocal linking is like the most popular search engine (Google) determines the ranking of the website, so as to cross link with customers, partners, affiliates, professional associations, and, most especially, companies that offer products and free services.
o Be creative.
Still No Traffic?
If the Web site or the traffic is getting little or nothing after having spent a considerable amount of time and money building and marketing, it is necessary to consider three possible causes:
Or have a professional looking website that could not be updated (you need to give visitors a reason to visit and return).
o How well is your strategy "offline" marketing works? If it's not going well, you may need to revise the marketing plan.
o Are your products / services sold once you are able to contact your target market? Otherwise, you have bigger problems and may need to change something in your attention to all your vertical business model.

Benefits of Marketing 101 Collaboration
The Internet has revolutionized the ease with which companies do business, and how to stay in touch with other companies and their customers. Customers are more connected than ever, authorizing them in a way that did not exist before the invention of the Internet, creating a change in the traditional balance of power.
There are many new marketing strategies and techniques that have been adapted for internet businesses, or were created as a result of the Internet. Marketing partnership is one of the most important of these Internet marketing techniques. The type of traditional marketing collaboration refers to working with other similar companies to expand the network of marketing capabilities for your company, sharing the burden of marketing with other vendors.
Marketing is still about creating value for customers and capture value from their marketing activities of enterprises. However: the Internet is a great vehicle for new ways to market your business, you can increase awareness for your products and services that simply has not been possible twenty years ago. The age of Internet marketing is more customer-oriented marketing has never been before.
What is marketing-oriented customer?
Customer-oriented marketing is the process by which smart entrepreneurs allow customers to weigh and drive a part of your marketing strategy. This still falls under the realm of marketing collaboration, but it is known as marketing are customer driven.
The essence of marketing remain the same, is the process of value creation through trade, but the nature of these exchanges has changed dramatically. This change requires companies to think differently about how to interact with customers. It 's been described as a transition from asymmetric information to the information democracy, customers have more power and can use this power to shape the industry.
Part of this shift towards customer-oriented marketing is the transfer from transactional exchanges to relational exchanges. Instead of maximizing the profit from each transaction, relationship marketing (including customer driven collaboration marketing is a sub-set) is focused on maximizing profits over several years to a lifetime of commitment to a customer for your business .
Traditional types of marketing techniques operate on the assumption that companies create and maintain relationships with customers and that customers play a passive role. Now, the customers play a more active role in managing business relationships, and thus the value of marketing is no longer something that is created by companies and delivered to customers, but rather, customers have become co-creators of value marketing beginning to participate directly in the process of marketing and training how companies approach their marketing programs.
Marketing cooperation with customers based requires thinking to collaborate with customers and make customers part of the marketing activities of your business by building relationships with customers and clients where they collected their opinions and feedback and review to develop a an effective plan for marketing your business.

Internet Marketing Strategies - Part Eight: Purchase Advertising
If joint free publicity, there has been providing the answer that it was hoped, perhaps it is time to consider buying some 'publicity.
If you really want to build your online business, you must be willing to invest a portion of your profits in your business. There are several advertising opportunities available on the Internet that allow you to purchase targeted advertising very reasonably.
Ezine Advertising
Ezine Advertising is one of the most effective forms of Internet advertising. Is not only effective, but can also be very expensive depending on the size of the publication.
The key to using ezine advertising effectively is to target your audience and track your response. You must test the effectiveness of both your ad and the publication in which you're advertising. This will allow you to determine which ads are pulling the best response and which publications are providing you with a high response rate.
When selecting an ezine to buy advertising, there are some factors that should be taken into consideration:
1. Select an ezine that targets your potential customer. In other words, if you were selling health products do not want to advertise in an ezine "Marketing". You want to advertise in an ezine that focuses on health.
2. The size of the publication is not really a factor in determining the success of your ad. Smaller publications will many times have a superior response rate, as they may have a higher percentage of members who actually read the publication.
3. Before you buy advertising in a publication, be sure to subscribe to certain issues. You want to ensure that the publication contains quality content and see how their ads are displayed. If you are 15 or 20 ads each issue, the response rate of your ad is likely to be low. Try to select a publication that runs only a few ads each issue, and puts them in the middle of the publication.
4. Contact the ezine publisher to make sure they never run two ads for similar or the same product. This will increase the response rate immensely.
The Directory of Ezines provides a complete online searchable database of ezines that accept advertising. This directory contains all the information you need to know to effectively place your ads. There is a registration fee $ 39.95 per year.
If you're looking for a low cost alternative for purchasing ezine advertising, Ezine Ad Auction will enable you to bid on ad space in targeted ezines.
http://www.ezineadauction.com
Pay-Per programs
Pay-per programs include, pay-per-click, pay-per-lead and pay-per-sale.
Pay-per-click will allow you to advertise to your target audience and pay only for results - you pay an amount for each visitor that is sent to your website. The most popular pay-per-click program is the pay-per-click search engines. You can learn more about pay-per-click search engines are here:
http://www.payperclicksearchengines.com
Pay-per-lead programs will enable you to pay only for leads. These cables may be potential customers that fill out a registration form, enter a sweepstakes, or download a free trial of the product.
Pay-per-sale programs are only affiliate programs. You pay your affiliates a commission for each sale set of qualifications.
You can find a number of Pay-Per programs here:
http://www.clickaffiliate.com
Another form of a pay-per-click program pay per click banner advertising. There are several companies online that will put your banner within their network and charge a flat fee for each click through.
Here are some to start:
Value Click
http://www.valueclick.com
I-Clicks
http://www.i-clicks.net
PennyWeb
http://home.pennyweb.com
Opt-In Email Marketing
Another effective method is advertising opt-in email marketing. There are many Internet companies that will allow you to purchase targeted lists of individuals who have opted to receive commercial e-mail. Although this form of advertising can produce a good response, can be quite expensive. Make sure you have tested the sales copy and have a good response rate before purchasing this type of advertising. In addition, make sure you only deal with a reputable company, as there is a very fine line between "opt-in" and "spam". Some of these companies may use immoral means to obtain e-mail addresses. The only company I can recommend is PostMasterDirect.com.
Before purchasing any advertising "majors", make sure you test your ad copy. Take your time and plan your advertising carefully for best results. Your success depends on it .......
The loser, the workaholic, and Home Based Business Opportunity
This is a story that takes place is Anytown, USA.
You know the characters. Both are always daydreaming of a better life. A life free from work. A life free from debt. A life enjoyed with family.
Both go after their dreams, but in different ways.
Shortly after graduating college, the workaholic was offered her "dream job." From nine to five with holidays off and two weeks of vacation every year. The pay was not that much to begin with, but there are miles above him on the corporate ladder. All he had to do was climb and a better life waiting at every step.
The loser has a similar job in a different society. The hours were a little 'different, eight to four. In addition to this, you could not really tell the difference without reading the name of the company outside of the office.
Day after day, both climbed the ladder. Then, after a couple of years, they both realized that they were working 10 hours a day instead of 8.
The Workaholic pressed on. "If only draw a few more years, I'll be up with the life I want for my family," said the Workaholic.
The loser has taken another approach. He has stopped rising. Instead, he spent his evenings building a home based business.
Workaholic When he saw what he was doing Loser, despised him. "These things do not work! You're wasting your money! You'll never amount to anything!" Workaholic said.
The loser was actually hurt by these remarks, but he pressed on. You see, at this point, the workaholic was making more money than the loser, but the workaholic was also spending all his time to work.
Shortly after, the loser and his wife were in a school play. All parents were there. Well, almost everyone.
The loser is the Workaholic's wife and daughter. "Where is the Workaholic?" asked the Loser.
"Oh ... okay ... had to work, I have a tape for him. He said that he thinks will be able to see him next week," said the wife of a Workaholic. "As it is based on something that your home business going?"
"Oh, okay. Workaholic and I do about the same amount of money now."
"It 's nice, but it must be hard to lose that money every time you take a week off, right?"
"I do not lose it. I get paid, even if I do not work."
"Well, enjoy it while it lasts. My husband is working for a solid income and pension. Eventually, these things do not work home business, Loser."
The years passed and the differences grew larger.
The loser has retired young ... very young. In fact, his children were still in high school when he retired.
The loser also had more money coming to almost everyone in town. The loser was able to spend much time with his family as he wanted, and enjoy life to its terms.
The loser was the main contribution to charity rather than supported. The whole city, and knowledge was the most generous man may live in Anytown.
The Workaholic continued to rise. He lost his children grow. He was not there when they were school performance. He was not there when they had birthday parties. He almost lost their graduation.
Every step of the way it was promised a better life, so he continued to climb. Yet, every step made him a slave of his work.
Even when it was overloaded and spend more than 12 hours a day at the office, could not stop. If he did, he would be fired. Then what would he do?
Unfortunately, the pension that was promised never came. The economy took a down turn, or so he was told. The few years of financial security that he had sacrificed his life for over an illusion.
Would not matter much. The Workaholic had pushed himself so hard that he had little time left. When he realized his life was ending, all I could think about was how he never really knew his family. He lost all the important events in the lives of her children.
Looking out the window, saw what he thought was the loser in the park. He was old but still active. It 's been spending time with his grandchildren, just as he had spent time with their children.
The Workaholic has finally turned around and thought that maybe the loser was not really a loser, after all .......

Your JV strategy for consumer psychological
You know how your customers view your company joint venture? And how do you treat your customers? The consumer psychology is important when considering how to promote your business JV and develop products or services. In fact, it is an integral part of the business process. You and your JV partners should be aware of and understand the needs of the consumer, so that your joint venture to expand and succeed.
Consumer psychology is based on several factors. The following are just some of the important factors that help define the psychological profile of consumers in a particular business.
Purchase Experience
The consumer wants to have a pleasant shopping experience. Spending hard-earned money, especially in a down economy, is a great responsibility to the consumer. They want to know that they are getting value.
Is your product or service a faceless, anonymous voice with no personality? Or do you market and package the product with style and elegance? The packaging of the product plays an important role in the way that a consumer can see the quality. Even if your JV offers a service, the method of marketing and promotion gives consumers a good idea of the quality.
Prices also fits into this category. You must not sell the cheapest product, but be sure to offer great value for your pricing strategy.
Customer service is very important. If you sell your product or service directly employees more personal sales and the staff are, the better your customers will experience. Also, be prepared to satisfy customers who have complaints or questions about the product or service JV.

Your JV company should always focus on quality. Your service should always have experienced staff (which could be), that serves the customer well. If your JV manufactures and sells a product, make sure that the materials are of excellent quality, and the process is efficient so that the consumer appreciates what he buys.

Successful Internet Marketing Promotion 101
Having internet promotion marketing skills is an absolute must-have for anyone running an online business marketing.
By definition, a business marketing and selling something if you can get information on that 'something' in front of the right prospects, your business is dead in the water from the beginning.
However, although the ability to successfully execute the promotion of internet marketing will be a key factor in dictating the success of your business is not the only one.
For example, it could be the largest ever network marketer, the Einstein of online business but it would be difficult if your products or services are not what the market wants.
Moreover, even if you sell something that is in demand, sales will still be poor if the quality is bad or your prices are too high.
For these reasons, it is necessary to sell a high quality, competitively priced products or service that is required.
Subsequently, an integral and most important thing in managing a successful promotion internet marketing is to know where more targeted prospects for your product hang out.
In other words, if you're selling a product online corporate training, you need to find where people who might be interested in this product. You can then decide how you put your message in front of them.
To do this, look for forums that focus on the market (hint: Google search), write articles (like this) that are based on keywords for your market for the publication of article directory sites and so on.
Okay, you have a great product and you are telling the right people about it.
You have come a long way towards starting to make money from your online marketing efforts, but not there yet.
All these 'front shop' activities are of vital importance, but no more than the activities 'behind the scenes' which ensures that your business is the most efficient and profitable as possible.
For example, with increasing capabilities of internet marketing is all very well, but you do not have a precise plan that is guiding your marketing efforts? If so, you factoring marketing objectives or specific objectives in this plan?
Objectives or goals factoring in your business plan is crucial. You have to know where you are going with your marketing efforts before starting to roll out.
Based on what we know about the business right now, what are realistic goals that you set?
Again, this is an important factor. If the goals are completely unrealistic, not join them. When this happens, it is difficult to see failure as something that is not something you want to burden yourself.
Next to each other online marketers I've ever met, you want to achieve success, it is a fact.
But you have a precise definition of what success means to you?
Now, you might say, 'Sure, I want to earn $ XX per month' but you should never define success in terms of cash.
Instead, success is personal and must be expressed in terms of money or benefits that will bring improvements in your life that will facilitate extra money.
Having internet promotion marketing skills is undoubtedly very important for the company. But I would suggest that having the right personal character strengths is as much .......

Work From Home Business - The effect Last Straw
We know that the language "And 'the last straw that broke the camel's back." This language is derived from a story about a camel being loaded with a straw straw up one place on the rest of the load broke his back.
"And 'the last straw that broke the camel's back" implies that there is a limit to the patience of all, everyone has his breaking point. Equivalent idioms can be found in many languages, among others Danish, Swedish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian (listed in Wikipedia), in the form: the drop of water that made the glass / barrel / bucket overflow.
"The last straw," and is used to indicate the final burden on small size which makes all of their difficulties (eg, work from home business) intolerable, that finally brought about the collapse of something, or something usually considered the last series of events unacceptable, such as giving up the pursuit of opportunities to work from home online.
However, I want to throw a different light in this idiom. I invite you to see the camel, not as a victim, but as a barrier or an obstacle that must be broken. In this light, the last straw mean something - the effort, contribution or push - which finally brings about the collapse of the stubborn barrier (s) or obstacle (s) - as fruitlessness, waste or mistakes in your work from home business. We are all aware, however, that this last bit can only be effective if there were a lot of straw loaded earlier.
Using the example above, the futility in your work from home business can be overcome only after a lot of pressure has been contributed to the work from home business. Finally able to break the barrier in your job search from home opportunities online!
Colonel Harlan Sanders drove across the country, sleeping in his car, looking for restaurants that might be interested in buying his recipe for fried chicken. It was rejected 1,009 times before someone finally said "yes". He made a fortune as the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, because it did not stop after being rejected 1,009 times.
Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the bulb - and it failed. However, he said: "We know that there are two thousand elements which we use to make a good light bulb." Edison eventually gave the world the electric light bulb because he would not give up after the long series of failures, and, instead, has given another attempt.
Colonel Sanders' last straw, and Thomas Edison eventually opened the door of opportunity.
Your journey to work from home business is full of barriers, obstacles and roadblocks that must be overcome - 'Camel' which again must be broken. Give your best effort to complete your search for work from home based business. Work hard. Be persistent. Do not give up, always give 'one more try.' Be faithful to load and load and load your straws to 'camel back.' At the end of the last single drop placed on the rest of the straws broke the pot - the impediment to your research work from home opportunities online. Your success or breakthrough (broken back) work from home business is achieved by a seemingly inconsequential addition (a single straw).
"The last straw effect 'works for Colonel Sanders and Thomas Edison. It will also work for you. You will find that the last drop will take you to your goal to succeed in work from home business .......

Change 3.3333% California Withholding mandatory requirement on the sale of real estate
California Assembly Bill AB 2962 was approved and signed into law by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger September 22, 2006.
California, the current income tax law enacted in 2002 to source and effect from January 1, 2003 with Governor Davis calls for a tax liability income withholding requirement of 3 1/3% based on the gross sales price on the disposition (sale) of property in certain circumstances.
"The problem with the current California law withholding tax on income is that the calculation of the withholding requirement mandatory 3 1/3% is based on the price the taxpayer's gross sales, and has absolutely no relationship to the taxpayer's actual liability gain tax income from capital, "said William L. Exeter, president and chief executive officer, Exeter 1031 Exchange Services, LLC. Mr. Exeter further stated, "It 'actually causes over-the source for many taxpayers."
Assembly Bill AB 2962 amending Sections 18662 and 18668 of the Revenue and California's tax code with regard to the withholding requirements regarding the disposition (sale) of real property by certain taxpayers. It is designed to reduce the problem of too much restraint, allowing taxpayers to choose an alternative method for calculating the amount deemed from the current 3 1/3% based on the taxpayer's gross sales price.
Taxpayers can choose an amount of withholding based on the maximum rate of income tax for natural persons or legal provisions effective applicable to the gain (sale) of their property. "This should eliminate most of the problems at the source of California that we have seen day after day," said Exeter.
Taxpayers must complete a certification under penalty of perjury to the buyer or REEP (Real Estate Escrow Person, including but not limited to the attorney, escrow officer or qualified intermediary) to elect this method of restraint.

Leadership Confidence Report
Throughout history, there have been larger life figures such as George Washington, who led the army of his young nation fractured by a battle for independence. Corporate titans like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Steve Jobs have brought employees and shareholders of their organizations for financial success, while others like you and I used our influence to bring family and friends to make improvements in their lives . I would like to emphasize that the key ingredient in all these interactions is that of leadership of the leader-follower relationship.Without this ingredient there would be no independence without organizational success, and no improvement in the lives of our friends and family (in some cases) . But, what compels us to follow a given individual? What's in some people that makes us willing to follow them?
One of the members of my dissertation committee wrote an article that explores the relationship between trust and leadership and the role it plays in leader-follower relationship. His research has revealed that there is a correlation between the level of followers have confidence in an individual's ability to effectively serve their agenda and their willingness to follow his / her vision. Trust is a concept that has a significant meaning for most of us, like many of us have deep seeded issues with the concept derived from childhood and youth.
A family member disappoint us from time to time, the guys make fun of in our youth, or that the first love that broke our hearts can start our unconscious process of erecting invisible walls around us to protect . These walls make it very difficult for many of us to trust others as we try to function in adulthood. This is why many of us tend to be skeptical or distrustful of the intentions of others. However, history has taught us that trust is an essential ingredient when it comes to leadership. So the work must be done from the follower and leader. The follower must work to overcome their barriers to confidence, while the leader must constantly demonstrate the traits associated with confidence to his followers. But, what is the trust as it relates to leadership?
Confidence in the context of leadership means that the follower believes the leader has a shared commitment and ability to effectively lead him / her towards a vision that he / she might not be able to prosecute without the assistance of the leadership and guidance . Trust is at the center of the leader-follower relationship. Without trust, little progress belonging to a vision can be given. Therefore, an individual who wants to lead must establish and maintain trust with their followers.
Here are some of the traits that an individual must have or develop if he / she is trying to establish and maintain confidence in what he / she can bring:
Together for a given movement or cause with the followers.
A vision for the movement or cause.
A commitment to the success of his followers.
A satisfactory level of competence to plan and carry out the tasks necessary to get the motion as assessed and determined by the followers.
The use of fairness when it comes to followers.
The willingness and ability to meet the needs of followers, even though it may mean that sometimes he / she can sacrifice her desires.
The willingness and ability to listen to opinions and ideas of followers.
These characteristics are essential to establish and maintain the leader-follower relationship. Have these characteristics? If not, and your goal is to be a leader then work to do .......

Create a business plan: more tips to help you build a great business plan
Most entrepreneurs panic when faced with the realization must create a business plan. Here are more tips that can help when creating a business plan.
Be enthusiastic in your business plan, but it sounds like a Carnival Barker
The Business Plan is a sales document are assumed to attract people to the financial opportunities presented by your company. But a sophisticated investor can quickly identify exaggerated claims about management skills, or projections that are completely in line with reality. We must find a delicate balance between not sound like a technical manual dry and does not sound like a seller of high-pressure telemarketing boiler room somewhere. The sound is more enthusiastic about the prospects for your business, the more likely the reader will too. The other extreme, however, is like one who told us that using the plan to get the investor "greed glands" pumping. Make promises you can not maintain the investor can then provoke anger "glands" and even his "glands litigation."
Knowing the audience for your Business Plan (If you're a venture capitalist you can go ahead and skip to the next section).
When a customer asks us to review their business plan and tell them if it is "ready to go," one of the things you need to know is: the venture capitalist is not as smart as you think it is.
How can you say? The VC has three college degrees, and not one of them to college. The VC has often Roman numerals after his name. And it is very difficult to get on the phone, a sure sign of an important person Smart.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Do not assume you immediately understand why the product is clearly superior. Do not assume you will be able to grasp how the technology works. It may or may not know how big your market or sector.
Do you think that will be reading the plan before you start writing, and customize your message to the reader's level of understanding or experience. Many investors refuse to continue discussions with companies, not because the company has no merit, but simply because they "never got it" when they read the plan.
Once Upon A Time ..... A good mental exercise to use when writing the plan is to imagine that you are telling the story of your company to a good friend. Do not get too wrapped up in the formalities of language, or the seriousness of the project, or the need to impress an investor. Enough talk. Express your hopes and dreams for the business. Why is it important for you to succeed.
The Internet is open 24 hours a day - Take the opportunity when you create a Business Plan When performing background research for industry and the market for the company's products or services, do not overlook the Internet as a source of data. It's amazing, really, because the information is out there on almost all sectors. Much of it is free! Some websites provide access to information for a fee, but it might be worth by the time it takes to save. Trade publications usually have web sites with the back issues of the journal, too. Looking at this information over the Internet will have the advantage of showing a way to stay with the trends in your industry, which can be used on an ongoing basis after the plan is finished.
Follow these tips when creating a business plan and the task will be a little 'easier ....
Letters, a sales tool Forgot
Hurry off to the next prospect? Do not leave money on the table, failing to close the ring with a letter to your last call.
"I like products equally competent salespeople and two strong companies might make for a difficult decision. Joe had received a letter from Wicked Widgets after each meeting. He had received nothing from Wonder Widgets. Reached for the phone."
A good deal is about writing. As a short answer e-mail or Instant Messaging (IM) is sufficient for the continuity of the business conversation, a letter has more weight in the sales cycle.
Short letter format: How do you write a business letter? The short letter format provides a framework for almost every situation. Three paragraphs and sentences are not many of this letter for quick access and easy to write.
Paragraph one - thanks for the meeting. Make a list about your business. "Thanks for the opportunity to meet with you today and Paul your sound well thought out marketing plans, we can certainly help with the indication, as case studies and direct mail copy."
Paragraph two - to stress the opportunities. Make a comment on the store perspective, the market, or opportunity, follow that with a statement of how the product can help meet the opportunity. "We offer a wide array of services we discussed capture some of your most compelling stories of success to generate sales collateral, web copy of the materials and brochures;. Our company specializes in visibility through persuasive copywriting."
Third paragraph - call to action. Close explicitly. Rather than "let's get together soon," say "Meet me at the beginning of next week to discuss the stress potential. I call Monday morning for an appointment." Thanks for referring me to Stephanie's marketing department. I will follow her to get information for our sample copy, we will present that to you at our meeting scheduled for 10:00 am Friday of next week. "
Why write? The cement business letter and communicate thoughts, clarifies and strengthens a discussion, summarizing a meeting and keeps you in touch with the customer. A good letter captures the attention and focuses the customer's mind about you. It defines an opportunity for your return. The person writing business letters is distinguished by the strong crowd. Since the letters take time and effort, they receive further credibility. In the case of Wonder Widgets, for example, a letter has a border of the seller.

Internet Marketing Tips - coordinated promotional advertising model
I bet you've never heard that term before. Well, it's going to be heard very soon. Coordinated Advertising promotional model, or CPAM in short, is my idea. I worked on this system for over five years and was responsible for the success I had. Last year I earned more than six figures because of it with no signs of slowing down. So, what is CPAM? Well, I'm not going to spill all the beans in this article, because it would have no reason to get my new book coming out one day. No, I do not know when, but someday. But I will give you a little idea of how it happened CPAM.
Take a look at all the books on advertising you get. All have something in common. No matter if it is a book about pay per click or social bookmarking or whatever. Knowing what is this common? I'll tell you. All preach the gospel of this form of promotion as if he lived in a bubble. In other words, was not affected by anything else. Just focus on that as a promotion and no matter what happens around it or what you do. Well, my five years of experience has taught me that this is totally false.
What I discovered is that everything that is interested in everything you do online. It may be the smallest little thing, like writing an article shortly. It makes a difference ... and in some cases a great difference depending on what work is placed in your promotions. See, the thing that most people do not realize is that any form of promotion only reaches so many people. Think about it. Even Google, which is the largest search engine, reaches only 50% of Internet population. This means that if you relied solely on Google for your promotions, you must be leaving out 50% of the potential audience.
What does CPAM is that it takes all different forms of promotion, reaching the various segments of the population of the Internet, and combines them in various ways so effective that your promotional efforts are maximized. It took a long time to come up with various models. So far I have developed six of those that work very well and I'm still working on others. The reason why there are so few is because it requires a lot of testing to see what works and what does not.
You will be hearing more about CPAM in the near future. For now, do not put all your eggs in one basket. If you're just using Google to promote, you are leaving money on the table ... lots of it.
To Your Success,
Steven Wagenheim ......

The Real Value of Strategic Planning
I know some of you are so involved in fighting fires that you believe there is no time to develop a strategic plan. Some of you may take into consideration the long-term planning a waste of time. Some believe that the long-term planning is what you are going to do after lunch and some may even believe that there is no value in strategic planning, because as owner / CEO you know what it takes to be successful and all employees need to do is listen to you.
Hello, could be wrong! You may need to be part of this century. Times have changed, the leadership has evolved. The days of "Lone Wolf" leader at the top who dominates with power are gone. Successful organizations are held by individuals passed through the evolutionary process of leadership. They understand that today's leaders must create a change in the organization to meet the needs of their customers, to meet the needs of their employees and to meet the needs of its vendor partners. It is a particular change of the life cycle.
Strategic planning is a platform for change
Strategic planning is a key process that regulates the direction of an organization in response to a changing environment. Supports the fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide an organization. A sound strategic plan can help define and focus the efforts of a distributor to transfer the company in the right direction, with the best methods.
Show Me the Value
I can not stress enough that the true value of a strategic plan is the document itself. E 'in the process of creating it, which involves many of your employees from the bottom upwards. This allows them to be the best informed and most effective leaders, managers and decision makers. Creating a culture that embraces empowerment and working together as a team is probably the most effective way to create success. More people work together and take ownership of long-term objectives of the unit over and teamwork becomes a direct path to success.
From time to time I am told by previous customers that the real value they received from the strategic planning process is the personal development of members of the team strategy and the involvement of the entire company working together as a team in a team environment . The results seemed almost automatic.
Disability is not unity, a common vision and shared ownership of the Plan
The strategic planning team to create a culture that is necessary for success. Working together effectively is not automatic. It takes a specific effort and the development of a culture that is supported by executive management. Shared experiences create unity and value. The transfer of knowledge is essential for an organization to grow. Without knowledge transfer and sharing of experiences of planning is difficult for the group to share the vision and work toward common goals. More importantly, without the experience of strategic planning is much more difficult for employees to work together in such a way that brings out the best in each other and the entire management team.
Create a dynamic force
There is a natural occurrence for employees to stop thinking of each other as competitors and start working as a team. It 's much more difficult to achieve than it sounds. However, it is a natural byproduct of the strategic planning process itself. More importantly, fills a vital necessity if you want to create or maintain a competitive advantage in their business.
The value of strategic planning include:
1. More successful in direct execution of action plans and initiatives. The properties of elements of action are required, together with a timetable and set out the desired results that allow the team to tackle more complex projects more efficiently than just individual managers.
2. The strategic planning process allows the development of more creative solutions, because it harnesses the creativity and innovation of all members of the team's strategy. When team members bounce ideas off each other, arrive at solutions that can never surfaced only. Seeing things from different perspectives is invaluable when it comes to personal leadership development.
3. Commitment to ideas and projects become an interesting element of the process as employees take ownership of initiatives. When employees are involved in a project from the beginning, are more likely to be committed to the ideals it represents. They also developed the unique ability to pass that excitement, commitment and ownership throughout the organization.
4. The strategic planning process using strategists CEO owner of the team that starts with the owner / CEO End Game and allows the team to develop the roadmap without being intimidated by the presence of the CEO creates empowerment for the whole group, which includes focus on process, the discipline and responsibility for the implementation of the "End Game -. Vision for the Future" That property is not only challenges the team to be creative, but it releases discretionary energy throughout the organization.
5. Strategic planning activities motivate employees to deliver their best effort on behalf of the company. The fundamental advantage of the programming process includes the development of the following:
o A framework and a well defined direction with unified support
A clear vision or purpose and owned by all employees
o Greater engagement of employees of the company and its goals
or A set of priorities which corresponds to corporate resources
o A trend analysis that generates the confidence to take risks
Accountability or integrated into a control process

Car Buying Tip # 7 - Payment Plans typical car dealership
I'm sure this will be a rather controversial article for employees car dealers who read this, then the feedback should be interesting.
The pay most common is that I've seen people start a sales commission of 25% of the gross profits of front-end. So, if the dealer buys a car for $ 9,500 and does some repairs and retail for $ 500, will own the car for $ 10,000. Most merchants will have a package for more, not commission a profit paid directly to the retailer, which varies, but usually falls in the range $ 500.
In this scenario the sales person is starting from a base cost of $ 10,500 and say that the selling price on the vehicle is set at $ 15,995. Assuming the customer has paid the full price, would be a front-end gross of $ 5,495 which he / she would be paid 25% or $ 1,373.75.
Wow! They do so much? Not really. Offers like this do not happen as often as some might think. With new cars, for example, most of the time a sales person will be paid a mini. A mini is a fixed amount paid for a sales person, when the amount of commission is less than the set "mini". Most traders have a mini for $ 100. I saw a little 'taller and a little' a little lower, but this is the most common.
Keep in mind, the national average for people in car sales is about 6-8 vehicles sold per month. Not many sales people are getting rich in this area. If you feel bad for the sales person, you can always tip if you feel they did a good job and were professional.
Tips not only helps the sales person to pay the bills, but they can get on your side and help you reach the bottom line faster. Spending a few hundred dollars on a tip when saving $ 1500 on the price of the vehicle seems a good compromise for me. Be careful not to let the dealer know that points otherwise you may never see that person's sales there again!
Most dealers will have some sort of incentive for people to sell a lot of self, and is usually in terms of increased commission rates for a certain amount of units sold in a month. The most common I've seen, the percentage to 30% at ten units sold and 35% go to thirteen units sold for the month. This is usually retroactive and will pay the higher rate all the way to deal with for a month.
Usually there are bonuses that car dealerships are set for sales people as well. Sometimes it is a bonus volume, selling 15 vehicles and receive a bonus of $ 250, or as extravagant as some of the $ 50 "Spiff" to get a customer to get in the trunk of a car and close the door to show the glow in the dark trunk release child safety. Unless you are one who does not embarrass easily, please do not do it. Trust me, the entire dealership will be watching.
Your average sale is not working for a dealership of high-end, will make between $ 30,000 and $ 45,000 a year. Most people tend to believe car salespeople make a lot more, but this seems to be the average range of sales for most of the people I met.
There are exceptions. I met really good sales people who earn over $ 200,000 a year. A truly good sales person working in a high-end dealership (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc.) can easily make $ 200,000 a year with the worker at the top I've ever met to make more than $ 300,000 a year. Big Money!
Use this information as you see fit, just please keep in mind the majority of car sales people are not bad people, and certainly does not deserve to be treated in this way even if you have had bad experiences in the past. Remember that if you do not like who you're dealing with you is always possible to leave or request a new vendor.
As for the rest of the staff retailers, ie the management, their pay can vary greatly depending on the volume of vehicles sold by car dealerships.
Sale and / or Desk Manager - about $ 6,000 - $ 12,000 a month.
Closer - is about the same $ 6000 - $ 12,000 a month.
Finance Managers - about $ 5,000 - $ 12,000 a month.
General Sales Manager - about $ 10.000 - $ 15.000 per month.
Director General - about $ 15,000 - $ 30,000 a month.
For owners, their pay can vary even more. The owners of smaller dealers can make a few thousand dollars a month, while owners of large dealerships can perform up to or exceeding $ 1 million a year in salary. As I said can vary widely, and typically depends on the size of the dealership. Higher car dealer volume = more money, lower the volume car dealer = less money .......
