So, the young lady was mad with her friend that left her at the party and luckily for her, she had money stowed away in her shoe to take a cab back home. She thought to herself on her way home in the cab, that it was good that her mother had taught her to always have money set aside for emergency situations such as this!Thank goodness, this young lady had the forethought to stash her mad money away so she could take a cab back home, since her friend left her in a lurch.

Political Correctness and College Sports - Has The NCAA Gone Too Far?
Author : Mike Makler
The NCAA in it's wisdom has determined that teams that use native The NCAA has gone so far as to say that these teams cannot play in the post season tournaments unless they change their names.While I am sure there is a group of people both Native Americans and others who seem to think these names are offensive shouldn't we look at the big picture? Shouldn't we look at why colleges chose the Mascots that they do? Don't college choose mascots because of the qualities they feel those mascots possess? Don't the Colleges want their student athletes to posses these same qualities. Qualities like skill, Strength, Bravery, knowledge, intelligence and sportsmanshipAren't College athletics a huge source of pride for not just the student body but for the communities these colleges are in? The choice of Mascot isn't taken lightly by these universities. No college would ever chose a mascot that it felt was demeaning. Seeing an Indian Chief ride a horse around the end zone after a touchdown or a win is inspirational to not only the fans but the teams. Many people view the Native American Indian as a brave provider for his family and his people.The Florida State Seminoles even when as far as to get permission from the Seminole Indians to use them as a mascot.About the Author

How Does Satellite Radio Work?
Author : Carl Walker
How does satellite radio work? To understand how satellite radio works you must first understand how analog radio works. Analog radio works by broadcasting the radio frequency to local transmitters and then on to the listener. Satellite radio works similarly but instead of using stationary transmitters with limited range to broadcast their media to the people, they use mobile Satellites.Satellites are equipment that orbit the earth and can pick up and transmit signals globally instead of just in a limited area. In the satellite radio category a satellite bounces the transmitted radio frequency off of the satellite and out to the millions of satellite radio listeners around the world. This has increased the satellite radio industry and has made satellite radio a staple media avenue in our everyday lives. Does this help you to understand the question of how does satellite radio work?A user such as myself or you, who is interested in satellite radio purchases a satellite radio device whether it be stationary or portable, we purchase the desired satellite radio service from whichever service provider offers us the best variety of programming. Once the subscription to this service is established, the device is programmed into a database of devices that are allowed to receive specific radio transmissions from specific satellites. This entry into the database then sends a signal to the device to decrypt satellite frequencies, providing the user with audible satellite radio reception. This explains the question of how does satellite radio work?Many service providers may use different marketing gimmicks to gain a customer base, claiming to have better coverage or what not. When it comes down to it, The only difference which could be considered is the limitations put on the satellite radio by the databases and what programs and filters any individual service provider may be using to limit the access their customers have to the satellite radio feed. Service providers may offer special features, or special programming which is solely controlled by their databases and the servers they use to transmit the satellite radio feed. You rarely hear of a service provider explaining to the customer the answer to the question of how does satellite radio work?If a user fails to pay for their subscription to the satellite radio feed, just as with any utility nowadays, the service provider may then send a signal to the device, removing its rights to decrypt satellite radio transmissions. Many technologies in the past, prior to the radio technology have used satellites to widen the spectrum of their services, such as telecommunications such as cell phones. The principal of each service is relatively the same in the fact that a person uses a device such as a satellite radio, or cell phone, to request a transmission through a service provider's database. If the subscription is paid for the transmission is allowed from the satellite to the user giving us satellite capable radio devices. I hope I have helped answer the question how does satellite radio work?Satellite Radio HQ http://satellite-radio-hq.com/ talks about the history of satellite radio, the equipment you'll need, the satellite radio channels you can receive and much more.

When Negotiations Stall, Position the Other Side for Easy Acceptance
Author : Roger Dawson
When you're negotiating with people who have studied negotiating, and are proud of their ability to negotiate, you can get ridiculously close to agreement, and the entire negotiation will still fall apart on you. When it does, it's probably not the price or terms of the agreement that caused the problem, it's the ego of the other person as a negotiator. When that happens, Power Negotiators use a simple technique that positions the other person for easy acceptance.Let's say that you market advertising specialties, such as rulers, with the company's name on it-or custom printed baseball caps and T-shirts. You have made an appointment to meet with the manager at a local appliance store. What you may not realize is that just before you showed up in his office, the manager said to the owner of the store, "You just watch me negotiate with this advertising specialty representative. I know what I'm doing, and I'll get us a good price."Now he's not doing as well as he hoped in the negotiation and he may be reluctant to agree to your proposal because he doesn't want to feel that he lost to you as a negotiator. That can happen, even when the other person knows that your proposal is fair and it satisfies his needs in every way.
So, when this happens you must find a way to make the other person feel good about giving in to you. You must Position for Easy Acceptance. Power Negotiators know that the best way to do this is to make a small concession just at the last moment. The size of the concession can be ridiculously small, and you can still make it work because it's not the size of the concession that's critical, but the timing.So, you might say, "We just can't budge another dime on the price, but I tell you what. If you'll go along with the price, I'll personally supervise the printing to be sure that it goes smoothly."Perhaps you were planning to do that anyway, but the point is that you've been courteous enough to position the other person so that he can respond, "Well all right, if you'll do that for me, we'll go along with the price." Then he doesn't feel that he lost to you in the negotiation. He felt that he traded off.Positioning for Easy Acceptance is another reason why you should never go in with your best offer up front. If you have offered all of your concessions already, before you get to the end of the negotiation, you won't have anything left with which to position the other side.Here are some other small concessions that you can use to position:You're selling a boat, so you offer to take the buyers out and show them how to sail it.If you sell office equipment, offer to inventory their supplies and set them up on an automatic reordering system.You're selling a car, so you offer to include the snow chains.Hold this price for 90 days in case they want to duplicate this order.You're hiring someone and can't pay him or her what they asked, but you offer to review it after 90 days.Offer forty-five day terms instead of 30 days.Offer three years for the price of two on an extended service warranty.Remember, it's the timing of the concession that counts, not the size. The concession can be ridiculously small and still be effective. Using this Gambit, Power Negotiators can make the other person feel good about giving in to them.Never, ever gloat. Never, when you get through negotiating, say to the other person, "Harry, you know, if you'd hung in there a little big longer, I was prepared to do this and this and this for you." Harry's going to say unkind things about your mommy when you do that.I realize that in the normal course of business you'd never be foolish enough to gloat over the other person because you felt you out-negotiated him. However, you get into trouble with this one when you're negotiating with someone you know really well. Perhaps you've been playing golf with this person for years. Now you're negotiating something. You both know you're negotiating and you're having fun playing the game. Finally, he says to you, "All right. We're all agreed on this and we're not going to back out, but just for my own satisfaction, what was your real bottom line there?" Of course you are tempted to brag a little, but don't do it. He will remember that for the next 20 years.Always when you're through negotiating-congratulate. However poorly you think the other people may have done, congratulate them. Say, "Wow. Did you do a fantastic job negotiating with me. I realize that I didn't get as good a deal as I could have done, but frankly, it was worth it because I learned so much about negotiating. You were brilliant." You want the other person to feel that he or she won in the negotiations.Have you ever watched attorneys in court? They'll cut each other to ribbons inside the courtroom. However, outside you'll see the district attorney go up to the defense attorney and say, "Wow, were you brilliant in there. You really were. True your guy got 30 years, but I don't think anybody could have done a better job than you did." The district attorney understands that he'll be in another courtroom one day with that same defense attorney, and he doesn't want the attorney feeling that this is a personal contest. Gloating over a victory will just make the attorney more determined than ever to win the rematch.Similarly, you will be dealing with that other person again. You don't want her remembering that she lost to you. It would make her only more determined to get the better of you in a rematch.Key points to remember:If the other person is proud of his ability to negotiate, his egotistical need to win may stop you from reaching agreement.Position the other person to feel good about giving in to you with a small concession made just at the last moment.Because timing is more important than the size of the concession, the concession can be ridiculously small and still be effective.Always congratulate the other person when you get through negotiating, however poorly you think he or she did.Roger Dawson

It would make her only more determined to get the better of you in a rematch.Key points to remember:If the other person is proud of his ability to negotiate, his egotistical need to win may stop you from reaching agreement.Position the other person to feel good about giving in to you with a small concession made just at the last moment.Because timing is more important than the size of the concession, the concession can be ridiculously small and still be effective.Always congratulate the other person when you get through negotiating, however poorly you think he or she did.Roger Dawson

Testimonials Boost Direct Mail Response Rates In Business-to-Business Sales Letters
Author : Alan Sharpe
Correct me if I am wrong, but there is nothing more powerful in a business-to-business sales letter than a credible testimonial from a person in your prospect’s peer group.Testimonials are valuable because they say what you cannot. If you say it, you’re boasting. If a satisfied client says it, they are applauding. Here are some tips on using testimonials to make your sales letter pitches more plausible--and profitable.1. Don’t write your own
I have a standing policy never to write testimonials for others to sign. I don’t put words in a client’s mouth. That’s because real testimonials have an authentic sound to them that you cannot reproduce with your own pen. The only change I make to testimonials is to correct typos and grammatical mistakes that would otherwise embarrass the person making the testimonial.2. Attribute the testimonials fully
There may actually be a J. K. in Wyoming but I do not know him, and neither do your prospects. Your testimonials carry the most credibility when they are attributed to a person by name, and include that person’s job title and company. Prospects check up on us direct mail marketers, you know. I recently landed a contract with a client who, before retaining my services, visited my online testimonials page, clicked on one of the company links, and asked to speak to the person who had given the testimonial.3. Match your testimonials with your target audience
Ideally, you should have an arsenal of testimonials at your disposal for every kind of tactic and target audience. The best sales letters use testimonials that match the industry, business challenge and job title of the prospect. Collect testimonials about your product quality, customer service, response times, professionalism, value for money and so on. Then pick the testimonial that matches your selling proposition, offer and audience.For example, the best testimonial to use when targeting dentists who buy continuing education courses online is one from a dentist from your prospect’s city (or state or province) who was extremely satisfied when buying online continuing education courses from you.4. Ask permission
This goes without saying, which, in English, means I am going to say it. Always get written permission from your clients and suppliers to use their testimonials in sales letters, collateral and online.5. Turn compliments into testimonials
You don’t have to solicit testimonials if your customers regularly say or write nice things about you, which I imagine is the case. Simply ask their permission to quote what they have already said.About the authorAlan Sharpe is a business-to-business direct mail copywriter and lead generation specialist who helps business owners and marketing managers generate leads, close sales and retain customers using business-to-business direct mail marketing.

9 Myths That Block You From Writing Your Book
Author : Earma Brown
Many speakers, consultants, and small business owners alike feel
confident with communicating their message orally. They can
spout their message in an elevator speech with the accuracy of a
scientist. But when it comes to putting it on paper, some grown
men & women end up crying like a baby.
Through speaking and writing, I have discovered 9 myths that
often block others from writing their best book now. I promise.
It's not hard once you know exactly what to do. Successful
writers set up a system of writing. Destroy these myths and
setup your system of writing with nine easy solutions.
Myth 1 It's too hard.
Too many of us for too long have hid behind the words, "It's too
hard." Now is the time to take charge of our fears and conquer
them. First things first, to overcome procrastination -the fear
of failure- is to act now. Most times the bottom line of
procrastination is fear of failure.
Solution: Act now. Select step one of an easy writing
program and begin today. Or choose to sign-up for an easy 7
lesson ecourse "Jumpstart Writing Your Best Book Now. " Send any
email to iscribe@writetowin.org Action will destroy fear. Each
successful step of your system will deal a death blow to fear.
Myth 2 I have to get away from everything to write a
successful book.
No you don't. I know several novelist and non-fiction book
writers who had to write during a long commute to get their best
book written and out to the world. They accomplished it because
they systematically worked on their book until it was done.
Solution: Avoid marathon writing. In the midst of your
busy life, designate your time to write (work on your book) with
a goal to completion. (Reasonable time to completion)
Myth 3 I can't keep up with where I am after interruptions of
life.
It is a common challenge to find your place after being
interrupted with family, work and daily life. After all that's
why many think you must get away to get it done effectively.
Yet, there's hope for those who can't get away or choose not to.
Successful writers all over the world use the tracking approach.
They succeed because they commit to doing a little each day.
Solution: Set yourself up for success use the tracking
approach. There are 2 methods you could use for your tracking.
Time is the method where you commit to a writing a certain
amount of time each day. With the cumulative factor involved
your commitment doesn't have to be that much.
For example, to accomplish my book writing goals I commit to
writing one hour a day in my most productive time. For me it is
right after my meditation and reading time. With this method
don't be overly concerned about how much you write, just keep
the time commitment.
The other method is focused on output. Commit to writing a
certain number of words or pages a day, perhaps 750-1,000 words
or approximately three and a half pages double-spaced text. The
key factor is to stick to it until completion. Winner's Note:
You may ask how do I get started after interruptions or even in
my daily allotted slot so that I don't spend a lot of time
re-locating where I stopped?
Start your daily writing session by re-reading the last words
you wrote the day before. This will get you back in the flow.
The continued cycle of review will create a momentum that will
keep you going to completion. Another piece of advice is to
create a support system that will help isolate you from
telephone calls and interruptions during your daily Tracking
Session.
Myth 4 I have to complete each chapter in order.
It's called linear writing when you complete each chapter in
order. You don't have to write each chapter one after the other.
If you happen to get stuck on chapter two, you could be stuck a
very long time. I think this type of thinking comes from grade
school where we are ritually taught to do everything in order.
If you have been thinking that way stop right now, no need to
raise your hand. You have my permission to work on whatever
chapter moves you or you feel passion bubbling for at the
moment. Feeling stuck on a chapter, try another. There you have
it now go with the flow.
Solution: Don't become chained to writing in order. Jump
around and fill in the blanks. Review your chapters and whatever
subject or topic you most drawn to, begin there.
Writing a book is a journey. Most journeys go so much smoother
with a map or in our case a writing plan. Taking the simple
steps above will get you started fast and keep you going to
completion. Start today then complete and release your
significant message in a book to the world.

Excellence then, is not an act but a habit.<p><br>-Aristotle-<p><p>I remember watching my boys growing up. They would go to their Scout meetings and bring home a pole that they had <p><p>cut from a sapling. They made it into a pole by stripping the bark and carving different designs into it. They would talk about how they used it for hiking and on campouts. <p><p>Today things have changed a lot. The Scouts still make their trekking poles, but more hikers are now going high-tech. <p><p>Todays poles have much of the same benefits the scouts used them for. <p><p>Hikers also use two of them for hiking. Which double the benefits. <p><ol><p> <p><li>This includes pack weight distribution to the arms, thus increasing indurance. <p> <p><li>Makes keeping your balance easier as you cross rivers and streams as well as rough terrain. <p> <p><li>Lowers stress on the joints, knees, hips and lower back. <p> <p><li>Gives a more upright, hiking posture. This in turn will make breathing more efficient. <p> <p><li>Helps you go up those steep inclines. Also helps you keep your balance on the declines. <p> <p><li>Dispite some drawbacks concerning them, the advantages far outweigh the drawbacks. <p> <p><li>Trekking poles today are high tech in design and with adjustable telescopic features make them ideal for summer and winter. Most are made from materials such as aluminum or titanium. <p> <p><li>Trekking poles have adjustable wrist straps and can have plastic or cork handgrips. <p> <p><li>How to use your trekking poles is done by keeping your forearm parallel to to the ground on flat tarrain. If you're assending the poles will need adjusting. You will need to make them shorter, so you will not over reach. The opposite is also true as well. When going down a hill you will need to lengthen the poles. <p> <p><li>Its very easy to use trekking poles. Just walk naturally one arm forward with the opposite leg. The poles will soon become apart of you as you walk. <p></ol><p><p>As you become used to using the poles you'll find how easy it has become to hike and how much faster and farther you can travel. <p><p>Check out your local Scout Shop for a good quality set of poles.

Save Money On Your Next Bike By Using Mountain Bike Reviews
Author : Tim Gorman
Mountain bikes can vary hugely in both price and quality, so it is important to be clear about what you are looking for when you go shopping and before you actually buy anything. There is a huge amount of choice so you need to know what you are looking for. If you want it for cross-country then you will need a light mountain bike, but even then you have more options. Do you want a full suspension or just the front shocks? Or would you like some thing a bit heavier such as a free ride? They are much tougher than the cross-country mountain bikes, but will also be a bit heavier to ride and you need to know if you really need it.Probably a good place to start is to find some mountain bike reviews, then you should be able to understand about the capabilities of the different bikes and what may be suitable for you. Cost can also be a major factor in your choice and there can be a huge difference in the cost of different bikes. A good series of mountain bike reviews can help you to make the cost and use comparison effectively so that you know how much it is going to cost you for the bike that you want and why you might want to buy that particular bike. After all there is no point in paying several hundred dollars for a bike if you are not really sure if it is the one for you.There are many places that you can find mountain bike reviews and there should be no problem finding a review of the bike that you are looking for. The easiest place to start looking for mountain bike reviews is in the mountain bike magazines or websites. Mountain bikers are always looking for the next best thing and so there are often tests of the latest bikes and equipment. They all look great in the store but it's not until they behave been really tested well that you can know how good they are.When you have read the mountain bike reviews and think that you know the bike that you are looking for, do test lots of bikes and don't just buy the one that had the best review in the magazine. You need to make sure that it is the right bike for you and no amount of reviews from others can decide that for you. So read all the reviews but make sure that you try the bike of your choice well before you spend you money.Timothy Gorman is a successful Webmaster and publisher of ShoppingForBikes.com. He provides more information on BMX bikes, Pocket Bikes, Folding Bikes and mountain bike reviews that you can research in your pajamas on his website.

Investing in Structured Settlements
Author : Lance Winslow
Often some derelict will be awarded some huge amount of money from a noble company due to a run away jury in a Kangaroo Court. Since many times the company paying the money out agrees on a structured over time settlement, the plaintiff of course is a lowly human and has lots of desires for riches and he has little if any cranial capacity to understand the enormous gift the courts have grated him as our nation turns in to a socialist quagmire of re-distributing wealth to those who do not deserve it. Yes a few have been damaged and do deserve something, but usually not. If you disagree with that, you are wrong and I am right.Now then, since these folks who are future Darwin Award Winners and probably free T-Shirt Jerry Springer guest stars have these huge structured settlements you can make some money by buying these structured settlements from them. For instance if a man receives a 10 million dollar settlement over ten year, he will receive 1 million per year. But he may want all the money now instead so he can go buy stuff? So you may be able to give him 6 million in cash now and you get the 10 million over ten years. This means you get a 40% return guaranteed over the next ten years. Now then such an investment is not as good as others in that your annual rate of return is only 4% and many of us know that in the stock market over time we have seen 7.7% annual returns. But it is something to think about. Now then, what if some one receives 1.2 million over 5 years and you give them 500,000 in advance? Now things are looking a lot better aren’t they? Any way think on this."Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank forum board. If you have innovative thoughts and unique perspectives, come think with Lance; www.WorldThinkTank.net/wttbbs/

Midwest Gas Price Investigation - Investigation Likely To Continue For At Least Three to Four More M
Author : David C Skul
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued an interim report to
Congress on its investigation into Midwest gas price increases
that was cited at the reasons that the FTC launched the
investigation. It also provides a status report on the
continuing investigation, including progress and a description
of the work not yet done. The report details the history of the
price spikes of reformulated gasoline (RFG) in the Midwestern
part of the country and how these increases caused Commission
staff to initiate a preliminary investigation in June and
prompted the Commission to begin a formal investigation during
the latter part of July.
The report analyzes many conditions reported as potential causes
of the gas price spikes -
ranging from higher than normal crude oil prices, to the
expectation of compliance with EPA Phase II regulations for
summer-blend reformulated gasoline in high-ozone urban areas, to
the damage to the critically important Explorer pipeline during
March. However, the report says that "although it is likely that
each of these supply factors contributed to the dramatic recent
price spikes in the Midwest, no single factor appears from
staff's preliminary investigation to be likely to provide a full
explanation, and staff does not yet have sufficient information
to assess the impact of these factors in combination."
In accordance with the report, Commission staff is investigating
"the possibility of collusion or tacit coordination, conduct
that could be illegal under Section 5 of the Federal Trade
Commission Act." Due to the abundance of potential interwoven
causes as well as the monstrous amount of evidential information
being collected for the course of the investigation, the report
also states that "this investigation is likely to consume, at a
minimum, another three or four months."
The report shows that on June 29, Commission staff issued the
first round of subpoenas to the nine refiners that currently
supply the Midwestern markets and that within the month, staff
has accepted and logged approximately 200 boxes of
documentation. Around mid August, most documents requested from
the first round of subpoenas will be delivered to the Commission
offices. The Commission also issued a second round of subpoenas
to other refiners last week, and has issued Civil Investigative
Demands (CIDs) to the refiners recently, requesting that the
refiners compile data and answers to all of the Commissions
written questions. Commission staff issued another set of
subpoenas on July 25 to the entities that own or control the gas
transportation pipelines serving the Midwest markets of the
United States. Documents from that set of subpoenas are expected
to begin arriving shortly at Commission offices. The report
further details the Commission's plan to conduct a series of in
depth interviews as part of the investigation. Staff has already
conducted nearly 15 interviews with market participants,
consumers, corporate consumers and many others with knowledge of
investigation relevant information, and continues the process of
capturing pertinent industry-wide data from the Oil Price
Information Service (OPIS). After the documentary evidence has
been reviewed and analyzed, staff will take depositions under
oath of key participating personnel throughout the gasoline
distribution chain in the Midwest United States.
Federal Trade Commission staff will also coordinate all of the
investigative efforts with the Attorney General of Michigan,
Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Kentucky, South
Dakota, Indiana, Missouri, and West Virginia.

Twenty-five of them are even multicasting with HD2 subchannels.But can you actually hear HD radio yet?The answer to this is that you can, particularly if you want to put an HD radio in your car. At least four manufacturers that already offer car audio systems that incorporate HD technology. They are:
Panasonic
JVC
Alpine
SanyoPlus, there are two companies offering HD tuners that can make certain of their models HD capable.
Eclipse
KenwoodThe best place to acquire one of these car audio systems might be eBay. An eBay search turned up a Kenwood KDC-MP4028 at a buy it now price of just $109.95. In comparison, Crutchfield had the KDC MP4028 for $179.99.Online sources for information on HD car audio systems include Nextag (www.nextag.com), BizRate (www.bizrate.com), PriceGrabber (www.pricegrabber.com), PriceScan (www.pricescan.com), and Shopzilla (www.shopzilla.com).In terms of pricing, NexTag has the Kenwood KDC MP828 at a low of $232 at www.sbhcorp.com.
