It Is Possible To Profit From Doing Web Marketing With The Correct System
Earning money at home is something many people are becoming serious about. An excellent way to achieve that is with an internet marketing system that has a great reputation and makes money. However, before rushing off to start your business, there are several downsides you must be aware of. There is a bad side and a good side to operating a business online, and you need to spend some time in researching this. Keep yourself well-informed first and you are going to prevent misery at a later stage. Goji Berry Advance
The internet can be truly helpful in setting up your business, but it is only a mechanism after all, and care has to taken in its correct usage. In some way the internet frequently results in outlandish viewpoints. A few see it as a divine solution that can only bring about amazing results. A different group of folks distrust the internet entirely, believing it to be inhabited with fraud and deception. The actuality is to be found at a certain point between them. With the right marketing system and the willingness to invest your time, you can have sensible expectations on what type of business you can develop. Though it is true that your customer base spans the world, the same can be said of the competitors. You must find the proper place for your business, instead of competing against the biggest rivals. Hoodia Balance
An amazing aspect of a business online is that your buyers will never find you having closed shop for the day. You could be pulling in sales throughout the day, every day, after you have built your niche web site and installed everything that goes with it. Because the web is world-wide and across all time-zones it is always very busy. Your business can as a result be busy all the time, also, and make more sales. You?ll be able to create a subscriber list by equipping your site with an opt-in box, for a really low cost. Once you get their contact information, you can send them valuable information, along with adverts for products that you?re trying to market.
The major drawback of internet marketing is the lack of face-to-face contact with buyers. Sometimes people only purchase the product because they trusted what the salesperson said to them. People generally want to hear a personal recommendation. You can?t provide anything face to face if your business is on the web. The best you could do is treat folks nicely through your email messages. That appear to be enough for a lot of people, but there are still many individuals who won?t buy on the web. It would be helpful to research who your site?s visitors are and how many of them actually end up buying something.
In case you have an offline business, it?s wise to increase your business by using an internet marketing system. A few businesses will prosper because of having a web site, while some will not. If your internet marketing system is put in place properly, however, your business is likely to benefit from it.
This file photo shows a new home for sale in Winter Garden, Fla. U.S. home prices edged higher in most major cities for the second straight month.
By msnbc.com staff and news wires
U.S. single-family home prices edged higher in March, the second month of gains in a row, adding?to signs the housing market is stabilizing, a closely watched survey said on Tuesday.
The S&P/Case Shiller composite index of 20 metropolitan areas gained 0.1 percent in March on a seasonally adjusted basis, falling shy of economists' forecasts for a gain of 0.2 percent.
On an unadjusted basis, the index was unchanged. Prices in the 20 cities were down 2.6 percent year over year, improving from the 3.5 percent yearly decline seen last month.
Still, the major indexes ended the first quarter at new post-crisis lows, the report said. For the first quarter, prices were down 2 percent, compared to a 3.9 percent decline in the last three months of 2011.
Tuesday's data was another piece of evidence recently that the housing market is?making a bumpy revival. The median price for a new home rose 4.9 percent in April, year over year, while sales of existing homes rose 10 percent last month versus April 2011.
"In my mind there is no question that housing has bottomed, in terms of home sales, home construction and home prices but the recovery is still going to be very modest or very sluggish," said Mark Vitner, senior economist for Wells Fargo Securities.
Housing has a long way to go, though. Nearly 16 million homeowners owed more on their mortgages than their home was worth in the first quarter, or nearly one-third of U.S. homeowners with mortgages.
"There are still so many unanswered questions in front of us, such as what has happened to attitudes toward home ownership. We know there has been some change to that. Also we don't know what is going to happen with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, what is the government's role in mortgage financing going to be? We are not going to be able to settle that until after the election," Vitner said.
Tony and his wife and two children lived in the home on Pasteur Dr before Katrina. ?They evacuated to Mississippi originally but ended up going all the way to Houston for about 6 weeks total. ?Tony?came back to New Orleans about 6-7 weeks after Katrina to work (carpentry/construction). ?He was able to stay at his Mom's house in the West bank as her home was not ruined by Katrina. ?His wife and two children came back to the city and moved in with?Tony?and his Mom on the West Bank. ?He and his wife and two children now live just a few doors down from their home on Pasteur Drive and are renting. ?They are really excited to have help on their home and can't wait to get back in someday.?
We were lucky enough to be put in contact with the Bono family through St Paul's Episcopal Homecoming, based in Gentilly. ? Including a grant from St Paul's, Tony has roughly $10,000 of funding remaining to finish the entire house.? He is in need of roughly $35,000 to finish his home and bring is family back to 5722 Pasteur Drive.? If you would like to help bring the Bono family back home,?please contact us at?504-656-4165.
Most recently we had a wonderful group of volunteers from?
Kaiser Permanente come volunteer with us at Pasteur Drive.?

Director tells Empire magazine that his brother Jonathan convinced him 'there would be a great way to do it.' By Kevin P. Sullivan
Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in "Dark Knight Rises" Photo: Warner Bros
Christopher Nolan's first two Batman films firmly established the tone and terms of his version of Gotham City. The character would feel more real. Bruce Wayne's gadgets would have basis in actual military technology. Overall, Nolan's Caped Crusader would feel truer to today's world, allowing for parallels to exist more organically.
So it almost seemed out of character when Nolan announced Catwoman and Bane as the two newest additions to the universe in "The Dark Knight Rises." A cat-themed burglar and a luchador-mask-wearing, Venom-dependent super-genius doesn't naturally fall under the categories of "realistic" and "organic."
In the latest issue of Empire Magazine, Nolan opens up about his decision to include Catwoman in his take on the Batman mythos; not surprisingly, it took some convincing on the part of his brother Jonathan.
The brothers Nolan collaborated on the screenplays for "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Dark Knight" with David S. Goyer, and when it came time to decide whether Selina Kyle would make an appearance in the series before it came to a close, Jonathan strongly supported the notion, eventually convincing his older brother of the same.
Why did Jonathan Nolan feel so strongly about including Catwoman? He tells Empire that for their vision of Batman to be complete, they simply couldn't leave her out. "What we're endeavoring to do here is tell a complete take on the Batman mythos. And a complete take of the Batman mythos without the character for me was sacrilegious," Nolan said. "You've gotta have her, because she has a delicious greyness to her that helps define who Batman is. She keeps wavering on this line of, 'Is she a good guy or a bad guy?' Well, she's kind of neither. And that's why, to me, that relationship and that character only enhances the universe — and the Batman character."
But fitting her into the world provides a challenge unto itself. Part of that transformation manifests itself simply in the character's name. According to the article, Selina Kyle is never once referred to as Catwoman in the script. Most of the translation, however, comes with the basic conception of the character.
"Catwoman is a very iconic figure in the Batman pantheon," Christopher Nolan conceded. "I was nervous about how she would fit into our world. But [Jonathan] was very much convinced that there would be a great way to do it and eventually turned me around. Once I got my head around the idea of looking at that character through the prism of our films, saying, 'Who could that person be in real life?' we figured it out. She's a bit of a con-woman, something of a grifter. A hard-edged kind of criminal."

As Canada prepares to chair the Arctic Council, Munk-Gordon Arctic Security Program offers 19 recommendations based on international workshop in January
Finding a new way to fund the full participation of northern indigenous groups with Permanent Participant status at the Arctic Council in all of the organizations working groups and activities should be a top priority when Canada takes the chair of the influential inter-governmental organization next year.
The recommendation is one of 19 offered today by one of Canadas foremost initiatives on Arctic issues the Munk-Gordon Arctic Security Program to the Canadian government as it prepares to chair the Arctic Council in 2013.
The proposals flow from a two day meeting in Toronto last January involving more than 100 stakeholders from 15 countries including northern indigenous leaders and six foreign ambassadors.
Canada should show leadership in promoting the robust participation of northerners, regional and territorial governments, and especially indigenous representatives, says Tony Penikett, Special Advisor to the Munk-Gordon Arctic Security Program. To bolster indigenous participation, Canada should lead negotiations for a new funding mechanism to support the research, travel and other expenses that would enable Permanent Participants to fully engage in all the workings of the Arctic Council, including its working groups.
Full members of the Arctic Council are Canada, Russia, the United States, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark (Greenland) the eight countries with Arctic territory. Six northern Indigenous groups the Inuit Circumpolar Council, Arctic Athabaska Council, Gwichin Council International, Sami Council, Russian Association of the Indigenous Peoples of the North (RAIPON) and Aleut International Association wield strong influence as Permanent Participants. The Arctic Council is the only international organization that gives Indigenous peoples a formal place at the table.
Unfortunately, a lack of funding for travel and research resources has limited the effectiveness of the Permanent Participants in Council proceedings and working groups.
Says Thomas S. Axworthy, President and CEO of the Walter and Duncan Gordon Foundation: When created in 1996 the Arctic Council broke new ground in international governance by officially recognizing the status of Arctic indigenous peoples through the creation of Permanent Participants. But the effectiveness of this innovation has been hampered by uncertain funding of the Permanent Participants who require resources to participate fully in the work of the council, especially the more technical working groups.
The January conference recognized that, more than ever, it is critical that voices of those who actually live in the north be heard by decision-makers. Therefore to achieve the full value of the indigenous break through made at the creation of the council it is now necessary to develop a robust funding mechanism to enhance indigenous participation. Similarly, the expertise of northern state, territorial and regional governments should be more fully utilized by the Arctic Council."
The paper, "Canada as an Arctic Power: Preparing for the Canadian Chairmanship of the Arctic Council," (available at http://gordonfoundation.ca/CanadaasanArcticPower) recommends that Canada encourage recognition of the special role for regional, state, and territorial governments in Arctic governance and particularly in the Arctic Council. Many of the original parties to the organizations creation advocated an active role for sub-national governments, which is an idea the Council should return to, says Mr. Axworthy.
Authors of the paper note the northern region has become the theatre for dramatic environmental, economic and political change ... Media headlines trumpet the opening of new Arctic sea routes and a rush to resource riches.
The 16-year-old Arctic Council is the most active intergovernmental forum on regional issues today and has been affirmed by key northern nations as the principal venue for discussion of Arctic issues.
May 2011s Agreement on Cooperation on Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue the first legally binding agreement negotiated within the Councils auspices and the participation of U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton at the Arctic Council Ministerial Meeting in Nuuk, Greenland the first ever by a U.S. Secretary of State has increased the organizations clout.
Six non-Arctic nations sit in as Observers today: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Poland and the Netherlands, joined by nine intergovernmental and inter-Parliamentary organisations, and 11 NGOs.
With interest growing in the rapidly-changing Arctic, several non-Arctic nations seek Observer status. The paper recommends that any would-be Observer nations first be required to publicly declare [their] respect for the sovereignty of Arctic states and the rights of Arctic indigenous peoples.
Non-Arctic states interested in observer status include China, India, Brazil, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the European Union and individual European nations such as Italy.
The recommended condition that observers must declare respect for the sovereignty of the Arctic states and the rights of the Arctic indigenous peoples would affect the European Unions consideration as an Observer, due to their stance on indigenous peoples hunting and selling their products on the international market.
Other recommendations to the Canadian government regarding the Arctic Council include:
New Arctic fisheries
Noting that the ice caps recent retreat is creating access to new, largely unregulated fishing grounds with potentially devastating impacts on Arctic marine life and indigenous peoples who rely on the sea, the papers authors call for an assessment of competing interests and existing conflict resolution mechanisms.
They underlined the recent call by 2,000 scientists for a moratorium on Arctic high seas fishing to allow time for research of catch limits and development of an integrated international Arctic fisheries management plan. While the United States and Denmark have adopted this policy, Norway, Russia and Canada have yet to do so and the scientists are especially concerned that countries such as China may soon send its fishers into these unregulated waters.
Says the paper: Should anybody read the term commercial fisheries moratorium to include whaling, Munk-Gordon Arctic Security Program Policy Analyst Ryan Dean observes that Norway, Iceland, and others may object. If the Arctic Council chooses to involve itself in these issues, it will likely focus on assessments and science.
A less ice-bound Arctic will inevitably open opportunities for natural resource exploration and exploitation. Various non-Arctic states have already expressed eagerness to exploit these natural resources. Outside interests will lobby both Arctic Council member states and Permanent Participants, who as the Arctics long-time stewards work to protect sensitive habitats while balancing their rights and interests with the claims of the non-Arctic states.
Emergency management
The paper says the need for continued work on an effective international cooperation agreement on air and sea search and rescue was underlined by two fatal air accidents in Northern Canada and a deadly fire on board a Norwegian cruise ship.
An unprecedented agreement in this field was signed last year in Greenland and will be followed shortly by another on maritime oil spill preparedness and response.
The agreement represents the first binding instrument negotiated under the auspices of the Arctic Council, the paper notes, and although not everybody sees binding instruments as a positive step, others welcome the evolution of the Council from a primarily advisory body to a treaty-negotiating forum.
Says Mr. Axworthy: This is a defining moment for Canada to show that it is a leader in the Arctic region, but it must prepare today for its chairmanship if it wants to be taken seriously as an Arctic power. This Arctic Council chairmanship is a chance for Canada to show that it is an Arctic leader beyond its military capabilities, but also in Arctic governance and diplomacy.

Appendix
Recommendations for the Canadian Chairmanship of the Arctic Council
Following the Munk-Gordon Arctic Security Program conference, THE ARCTIC COUNCIL: ITS PLACE IN THE FUTURE OF ARCTIC GOVERNANCE, held in Toronto on January 17 and 18, 2012, the Program Steering Committee recommends that Canada focus its efforts during its term as chair of the Arctic Council to promote resilience among Arctic peoples and communities. To meet this challenge, the Canadian government should promote the Arctic Council as the primary international venue for promoting Arctic peoples resilience in the face of climate change, globalization, and resource-use conflicts.
It is, therefore, recommended that Canada:
Propose a new funding mechanism to enable Permanent Participants to fully participate in all of the working groups of the Arctic Council.
Support the Permanent Participants in cooperation with the Arctic Council member states to jointly review the role of the Indigenous Peoples Secretariat (IPS) following the creation of the Permanent Secretariat of the Arctic Council in Troms, Norway.
Propose that any candidate for Arctic Council Observer status must publicly declare its respect for the sovereignty of Arctic states and the rights of Arctic indigenous peoples.
Explore the possibility of joint North American initiatives for the back-to-back chairs of the Arctic Council, particularly where Canada and the U.S. have similar agendas.
Encourage the Arctic Council to recognize the special role for regional, state, and territorial governments in Arctic governance and particularly in the Arctic Council.
Work with Arctic Council states to commission baseline studies of Arctic fisheries management issues that would include tabulations of all species, competing interests, and existing mechanisms for conflict resolution, including a moratorium on fisheries in the high seas.
Promote the continued involvement of youth in working group and Permanent Participant projects.
Declare that any new education, health, or youth program offered by the Arctic Council should proceed only on the basis of multi-year funding commitments.
Make the necessary strategic investments in Canadian Arctic air and marine infrastructure to enable Canada to effectively implement the Arctic Council negotiated accord on search and rescue.
Work to continue the evolution of the Arctic Council from a decision-shaping body into a negotiating forum for new binding agreements.
Propose that the Arctic Council encourage the creation of military forums as confidence-building initiatives and visible example of Arctic cooperation.
Urgently work towards the completion of the Oil Spill Preparedness and Response instrument.
Fund the Canadian Polar Commission to a level equivalent to counterpart institutions in other Arctic states.
Appoint a new Arctic Ambassador as its Senior Arctic Official before retaking the Arctic Council Chair.
Lead discussions among the Arctic Eight to ease the visa restrictions for researchers and delegates of the Arctic Council.
Propose that the Arctic Council adopt a communications strategy based on raising awareness of its goals and programs both to audiences in the Arctic region and the wider world.
Encourage the Arctic Council Secretariat to create plain-language summaries of its studies and activities, so that the information is accessible to interested citizens.
Encourage the Arctic Council Secretariat to work with the International Polar Year to create a database that would include a compilation of all projects carried out in the different working groups, as well as under the auspices of the Permanent Participants.
Spearhead an initiative in the Arctic Council to encourage the International Maritime Organization to adopt a mandatory code without further delay.

The agreement represents the first binding instrument negotiated under the auspices of the Arctic Council, the paper notes, and although not everybody sees binding instruments as a positive step, others welcome the evolution of the Council from a primarily advisory body to a treaty-negotiating forum.
Says Mr. Axworthy: This is a defining moment for Canada to show that it is a leader in the Arctic region, but it must prepare today for its chairmanship if it wants to be taken seriously as an Arctic power. This Arctic Council chairmanship is a chance for Canada to show that it is an Arctic leader beyond its military capabilities, but also in Arctic governance and diplomacy.

Appendix
Recommendations for the Canadian Chairmanship of the Arctic Council
Following the Munk-Gordon Arctic Security Program conference, THE ARCTIC COUNCIL: ITS PLACE IN THE FUTURE OF ARCTIC GOVERNANCE, held in Toronto on January 17 and 18, 2012, the Program Steering Committee recommends that Canada focus its efforts during its term as chair of the Arctic Council to promote resilience among Arctic peoples and communities. To meet this challenge, the Canadian government should promote the Arctic Council as the primary international venue for promoting Arctic peoples resilience in the face of climate change, globalization, and resource-use conflicts.
It is, therefore, recommended that Canada:
Propose a new funding mechanism to enable Permanent Participants to fully participate in all of the working groups of the Arctic Council.
Support the Permanent Participants in cooperation with the Arctic Council member states to jointly review the role of the Indigenous Peoples Secretariat (IPS) following the creation of the Permanent Secretariat of the Arctic Council in Troms, Norway.
Propose that any candidate for Arctic Council Observer status must publicly declare its respect for the sovereignty of Arctic states and the rights of Arctic indigenous peoples.
Explore the possibility of joint North American initiatives for the back-to-back chairs of the Arctic Council, particularly where Canada and the U.S. have similar agendas.
Encourage the Arctic Council to recognize the special role for regional, state, and territorial governments in Arctic governance and particularly in the Arctic Council.
Work with Arctic Council states to commission baseline studies of Arctic fisheries management issues that would include tabulations of all species, competing interests, and existing mechanisms for conflict resolution, including a moratorium on fisheries in the high seas.
Promote the continued involvement of youth in working group and Permanent Participant projects.
Declare that any new education, health, or youth program offered by the Arctic Council should proceed only on the basis of multi-year funding commitments.
Make the necessary strategic investments in Canadian Arctic air and marine infrastructure to enable Canada to effectively implement the Arctic Council negotiated accord on search and rescue.
Work to continue the evolution of the Arctic Council from a decision-shaping body into a negotiating forum for new binding agreements.
Propose that the Arctic Council encourage the creation of military forums as confidence-building initiatives and visible example of Arctic cooperation.
Urgently work towards the completion of the Oil Spill Preparedness and Response instrument.
Fund the Canadian Polar Commission to a level equivalent to counterpart institutions in other Arctic states.
Appoint a new Arctic Ambassador as its Senior Arctic Official before retaking the Arctic Council Chair.
Lead discussions among the Arctic Eight to ease the visa restrictions for researchers and delegates of the Arctic Council.
Propose that the Arctic Council adopt a communications strategy based on raising awareness of its goals and programs both to audiences in the Arctic region and the wider world.
Encourage the Arctic Council Secretariat to create plain-language summaries of its studies and activities, so that the information is accessible to interested citizens.
Encourage the Arctic Council Secretariat to work with the International Polar Year to create a database that would include a compilation of all projects carried out in the different working groups, as well as under the auspices of the Permanent Participants.
Spearhead an initiative in the Arctic Council to encourage the International Maritime Organization to adopt a mandatory code without further delay.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) ? The already vicious Republican primary battle for a U.S. Senate seat turned nastier Friday when Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst implied that tea party favorite Ted Cruz supports amnesty for illegal immigrants and Cruz retaliating by saying Dewhurst is "race-baiting" and making generalities about Hispanics.
Dewhurst and Cruz, an attorney and former state solicitor general, are seeking the GOP nomination to replace retiring Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, as are former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert and Craig James, an ex-NFL running back and EPSN commentator. If no one gets at least 50 percent of the votes in Tuesday's primary, a runoff is set for July 31.
Dewhurst's television ads have long attacked Cruz for his firm representing a Chinese tire manufacturer in an intellectual property dispute with an American company. But Cruz has won the support of national limited-government groups, such as the Club for Growth, which have organized media campaigns claiming Dewhurst has been too moderate during his nearly nine years overseeing the Texas Senate.
Tensions spiked, though, over a 60-second Dewhurst radio spot featuring two women talking while birds chirp and children play in the background. It says Cruz "helps run two national organizations that have been leading the push to give amnesty to illegal immigrants."
Cruz hasn't denied being involved with the Hispanic Alliance for Prosperity Institute and the Hispanic Leadership Fund, but says he's always opposed amnesty. He denounced the ad on a Dallas radio station as "designed to say anyone who is Hispanic must support amnesty."
"It's flat-out lies," he said. "They should pull this ad. It's deceptive and it's unethical."
Cruz's father, Rafael, was born in Cuba and fought with Fidel Castro's rebels, but fled to the United States before Castro took power. And Dewhurst once worked for the CIA, learning Spanish on assignment in Bolivia.
Both sides say the ad indicates desperation. Cruz said that "the moderate establishment has circled their wagons around David Dewhurst," and his campaign issued a statement accusing the lieutenant governor of "shameful race-baiting." Dewhurst supporters charged that Cruz's only defense from the issues raised by the ad was to play the race card.
The Dewhurst campaign made available for comment Jacob Monty, who serves with Cruz on the board of the Hispanic Alliance for Prosperity Institute and said the right-leaning policy group has "been champions of immigration reform since 2002."
Monty added of Cruz, "he defended our position. But that was pre-tea party."
"I think it's a fallacy that, in order to be elected, you have to use illegal as a noun and call people 'illegals,' " he said. "Ted Cruz was there with us. He's not there now."
The Cruz campaign countered with its own surrogate, George P. Bush, who serves on the boards of both the Hispanic Alliance for Prosperity and the Hispanic Leadership Fund.
"It's very disappointing to see David Dewhurst resort to blatantly false attack ads," Bush, nephew of former President George W. Bush, said in a statement. "I was offended not only as a Hispanic but as a Republican."
Meanwhile, the U.S. Justice Department says it plans to monitor primary elections in three Houston-area counties to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Monitors will be assigned to polling places in Harris, Fort Bend and Jefferson counties and will watch and record activities during voting.
The move comes after the Houston-based tea party group, the King Street Patriots, dispatched hundreds of observers to polling stations during the 2010 general election. That sparked complaints of intimidation from minority organizations, but the King Street Patriots said its observers were simply looking for evidence of voter fraud.
Also Friday, Dewhurst unveiled a TV ad branding Leppert as too liberal.
Leppert, visiting iconic Dallas eatery Dickey's on Friday, summed up the primary race.
"What you've got is a lot of negative campaigning," he said. "There's just a lot of mistruths and lies that are thrown out there."
