Discovery leaving space station for the last time

2011-03-07T13:21:00.001-08:00

Actor William Shatner, who played Capt. Kirk on the original "Star Trek" TV series, paid tribute to space shuttle Discovery's voyages over the decades. He said the shuttle has boldly gone and done what no spacecraft has done before.

This is the final flight for Discovery, the most traveled spaceship ever. It will be retired after this mission and sent to a museum. It's due to land Wednesday.

Shatner introduced Monday's wake-up music for the six shuttle astronauts. The song was "Theme from Star Trek." It was the runner-up in a pick-the-wake-up-music contest sponsored by NASA. The No. 1 vote-getter will be beamed up Tuesday.

Saudi Arabia: Demonstrations won't be tolerated

2011-03-07T00:11:00.001-08:00

The warning was another attempt by Saudi Arabia to get ahead of the unrest that has swept the Arab world in recent months. Last week, the government announced an unprecedented economic package worth an estimated $36 billion that will give Saudis interest-free home loans, unemployment assistance and debt forgiveness.

The Interior Ministry statement said the kingdom bans all demonstrations because they contradict Islamic laws and society's values, adding that some people have tried to go around the law to "achieve illegitimate aims."

Security forces were authorized to act against anyone violating the ban, the statement said.

The demonstration followed Friday prayers in the eastern town of Hofuf when the Shiites demanded the release of detainees, including Tawfiq al-Amer, a Shiite cleric who was arrested last week after he called for a constitutional monarchy.

On Feb. 24, a group of influential intellectuals urged King Abdullah, Saudi Arabia's 86-year-old monarch, to adopt far-reaching political and social reforms. They said Arab rulers should learn from the uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, and listen to the voice of disenchanted young people. The group includes renowned Islamic scholars, a female academic, a poet and a former diplomat.

While oil-rich Saudi Arabia has been mostly spared the unrest in the Middle East, a robust protest movement has risen up in its tiny neighbor, Bahrain, which like others around the region is centered on calls for representative government and relief from poverty and unemployment.

A Facebook page calling for a "March 11 Revolution of Longing" in Saudi Arabia has begun attracting hundreds of viewers. A message posted on the page calls for "the ousting of the regime" and lists demands including the election of a ruler and members of the advisory assembly known as the Shura Council.

There are no government figures in Saudi Arabia that provide a national income breakdown, but analysts estimate there are more than 450,000 jobless. About two-thirds of the population is under 29 — and many of them chafe under the harsh religious rules that keep the sexes largely segregated.

Giffords shows more progress in recovery

2011-03-03T19:14:00.001-08:00

The Democratic congresswoman has been undergoing extensive therapy in the nearly two months since she was shot at a political event in Tucson, and has been receiving frequent visits from her astronaut husband Mark Kelly as he trains to be the commander of the next shuttle mission.

Giffords spokesman C.J. Karamargin said Thursday that the congresswoman also gets regular, detailed updates about the work being done at her offices in Tucson and in Washington. She gets the updates from her chief of staff, Pia Carusone, who is splitting her time between Houston, Washington and Tucson.

Among Giffords' other visitors has been Stephanie Aaron, her rabbi and good friend. Aaron described Giffords' progress to The Associated Press on Thursday after a visit to the hospital over the weekend.

She said Giffords sang Don McLean's "American Pie" with husband Mark Kelly and his two daughters, and that she knew the words better than the three of them. Musical therapy is an important part of her recovery as doctors use song in attempt to improve her brain function, along with physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation.

Aaron said Giffords also chanted a Hebrew healing prayer with her, although the congresswoman didn't know the words beforehand.

Aaron said she would tell Giffords the words, and the two would chant, with Giffords getting frustrated at times.

"I would just stop, hold her hand and say, 'Gabby, it's OK. Just breathe.' And we would sit together and just breathe," Aaron said. "And what very much uplifted me was when I was leaving ... she got tears in her eyes and she hugged me. I said, 'Gabby, what do you need to remember?' And she said, 'Breathe.'"

She said when she first arrived at Giffords' hospital room, she brought the congresswoman a giant card made by students at the middle school she attended. Inside it was a T-shirt attached to the card, and printed on the shirt was a photo of the students with Giffords and Kelly when they visited Washington, D.C.

"She reached out and pulled the shirt off and held it to her heart and had a big smile, and she touched the picture of Mark," Aaron said. "It was very moving."

Aaron said that she left the hospital for a while to bring Giffords some of her favorite foods — matzo ball soup and cheese blintzes. She said Giffords happily ate the meal.

"I'm very encouraged and hopeful for the future," Aaron said.

Kelly will be the commander of Endeavour when it launches in April, and his identical twin brother Scott is the current leader of the International Space Station crew.

President Barack Obama called the astronauts on Thursday to wish them his best. Before signing off, he told Scott Kelly that he spoke to his brother a couple days ago.

"It sounds like Gabby's making incredible progress," the president said, "and we're just thrilled for that."

Giffords was shot on Jan. 8 in a rampage outside a Tucson grocery store that injured 12 others and killed six people, including a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl who was born on Sept. 11, 2001.

Jared Loughner is charged in federal court in the assassination attempt against Giffords that killed six people. Authorities described him as a mentally unstable college dropout who became obsessed with carrying out violence against Giffords for reasons that are unclear.

2008-07-22T20:39:00.001-07:00

The iPhone 3g is a brilliant phone, but so difficult to track down. Everyone seems to want one straight away and there just simply isn't the supply to cope with the demand.

So why do you want an iPhone 3g? Here are some of the new specs to get your mouth drooling. If you're losing motivation trying to find the phone just think of.....

3G internet, this is the major one!

GPS built in

Third party app allowed

Whatever you do don't try to buy one off ebay at the moment because the prices will be incredibly high and overpriced. If you can't find anywhere else to buy, even the sold out iPhone 3G isn't worth the extra money and you are better off waiting. This happens with all major products releases where there is a chance of it being sold out, don't encourage the people who are trying to make money out of peoples disappointment.

So where can you buy them? Surprisingly if you go into some of the smaller shops in your neighbourhood you will be more likely to find them. These shops get loss of a stock to start with but far fewer people think of looking there.

Another option is the iPhone tracking websites which allow you to look for the nearest shop to you that has them in stock. As the iPhone 3G sold out so quickly these sites can be extremely useful, but make sure you use one which has its list updated regularly.

The New IPOD Touch - A Marble in Mobile Entertainment

2008-07-22T20:31:00.001-07:00

This amazing new innovation from apple redefines the standard of "cool" and Apple has done it again. With the new IPOD Touch Apple has truly transported multimedia entertainment into a mobile platform and changed the way people experienced music, video and the Internet forever.

Multimedia systems, like Blackberries and other phone based mobile computing devices have been around for a few years, but these multimedia systems have always been focused more on voice and text capabilities than any other functionality. Until along came Apple with the IPOD Touch.

With the new iPod Touch you can play MP3 music, surf the Internet, watch a video and more with just a touch of a finger. And because the IPOD Touch comes with built-in wi-fi capability, you can access the internet from just about anywhere you go and browse your favorite places as if you were sitting in front of a computer. You can buy songs directly from the Itunes store and download them directly into the IPOD, so you won't miss a beat. Not to mention the sound quality on the Touch has been improved over the previous IPOD models.

The IPOD Touch is visually appealing and intuitive with a very sleek 3.5-inch wide touchscreen that allows you to operate its array of functionality by simply touching any of the colorful menu icons directly on the screen. The large icons make screen navigation almost too user friendly that anyone can find their way through the maze of handy features by simply touching one of them on the main screen and following the subsequent icons underneath.

Need more space for your movies, photos or MP3s? No problem. The IPOD touch comes in 8GB, 16GB and 32GB of storage space, which offers great flexibility to accommodate your needs for additional storage. This system is also compatible with the Mac and PC platforms.

These are some specs for the IPOD Touch directly from Apple:

• Includes the ability to use the following with a WiFi connection
o Mail

Blogging - How to Make Sense Out of WordPress Options

2008-07-22T20:24:00.000-07:00

When I first started out and was taking a tutorial on setting up online marketing, the subject of blogs came up. It was suggested that a blog was a very good tool for marketing and making yourself known on the WEB. The program suggested starting with WordPress. I had never heard of WordPress so I went to the WordPress site to find out what it was all about.

This was all new to me so I followed instructions on the site and presto...I had my first blog set up in a few minutes. It wasn't pretty and I had no idea what I was doing. The interface was new, the tabs were a mystery and the general functions available were a guessing game for me. That said, I forged ahead, wrote a post and then tried out different tabs and selections to see what would happen.

What I didn't realize was that there are three varieties of WordPress, and you should know that upfront, so you can decide what works best for you. I learned of these 3 options later when I used another tutorial and set up another WordPress blog on a host site.

So what are those three options?

Option One

The first one I'll mention is one that doesn't concern the individual affiliate marketer but you should be aware of it. It's called WordPress MU. MU stands for Multi-User and it allows you to run several hundreds to thousands of blogs on one domain. It really applies to corporations, groups, organizations or maybe super affiliate marketers that have their own servers and run a network of blogs. Until you reach that scale you needn't know more than that about WordPress MU.

Option Two

The next option open to you is WordPress.com. This is the one I first used. It is hosted on WordPress servers and offers an easy to use template you can follow to start your first blog. You can choose your own user name to individualize your blog and it will get assigned to the WordPress domain. For example, if you choose to go with your name to set up the blog, your domain would look like http://www.yourname.WordPress.com. This assumes your choice was available.

Another point to remember is that on WordPress.com you are subject to the guidelines of your host. That means that commercial applications such as Google Adsense and other plug ins used to create revenue streams or optimize for search engine discovery, are not available. The blogs are really designed for open and useful communication without the volume of commercial and affiliate selling that takes place on other blog environments. This isn't to say that you cannot create links to affiliate programs and place some banners, but the WordPress.com blog is not the most optimum environment to run a marketing based business. The next option is best suited for that purpose.

Option Three

The third option is the one used by most affiliate marketers who set up their business on an independent hosted environment outside of the WordPress hosted site. It's called WordPress.Org and is software that is downloaded to your own Web server to run on your domain. It is often accessed through the Control Panel of the Web host you have selected to use in your business or blog. Some free hosting services may not offer the Control Panel feature so you have to follow what ever process they use for downloading blog software.

In the case of WordPress.org, the software offers greater flexibility that WordPress.com and allows you to download plugins that are not available to WordPress hosted blogs. For example, you can download Google AdSense ads mentioned earlier or Google Sitemap which allows search engines to find and index you more efficiently so you can place better in search results. You can place html code to more effectively design web pages for commercial application in affiliate marketing campaigns. In short, it offers more options and better capabilities for running a business than WordPress.com. It is the option that you will come to by default when setting up a blog from your host site. You will notice a different set of options such as a plug-in add on feature that is not available with WordPress.com. In summary, this is the option you will find most suitable for affiliate marketing. It gives you more ways to create revenue streams for a business.

Conclusion

Depending on your objectives for blogging, these are the three options you can select from when considering WordPress. There is plenty of documentation to help you with the details of how to use the features and tools offered in each option. The point here is to make sure you are aware of what is available so you can make an intelligent decision.

With that in mind, good luck in your blogging and may your travels be prosperous.

Affiliate Marketing Tips - You're Doomed If You Do These Things

2008-07-22T20:21:00.000-07:00

Marketers who know me well, know that when I say something, they better
listen. When it comes to affiliate marketing, there are some things that
affiliates do that are a sure ticket to failure. And yet, they do them
anyway. It just boggles my mind. Well, if you don't want to end up as an
affiliate failure, you'll take my advice and avoid these things like the
plague.

At the very top of my list is the choice of the product itself. So many
affiliates jump on the "me too" product of the day and think that
because everybody is talking about the product that it's going to make
them a ton of money. What they don't understand is that these high
profile, high end products, are being promoted by every top marketer in
existence. Do you REALLY think that as a beginning marketer you have a
chance against these people? You certainly don't, especially if you make
any of the other mistakes on this list. However, to give yourself more
of a chance, don't jump on the product du jour.

Next on the list is ads. I marvel at some of the ads I see for these
products. Why do I marvel? Because they're all the same. The only thing
different is the affiliate link in them. Oh come on, you know it's true.
You write to the merchant, ask him to send you some ads, he gives you a
link to get your "affiliate tools" and you copy and paste the same ads
that everybody else is sending, changing nothing but the link. Yeah,
that's really going to make you stand out and get your share of the
sales...not. So for crying out loud, write your own ads.

Finally, there's the means of promotion that affiliates use. They either
use the most expensive forms, such as pay per click, where to get a
decent position you have to spend a buck or more per click, or they use
forms of promotion that aren't worth squat. Look, if you're trying to
fight the pay per click wars in highly competitive niches, you're dead.
The heavy hitters will eat you alive. And using poor sources of
advertising is a total waste of time altogether. There are great sources
of advertising and great advertising methods that won't cost you an arm
and a leg. You'll find some great info in my signature.

If you avoid these common affiliate mistakes, you can easily become a
successful affiliate marketer for almost any product at all.

SMS Service: Not Free

2008-05-13T05:55:00.001-07:00

UK fans of free SMS service should take advantage of the service as much as they can because mobile phone companies are rethinking about their plans that allow users to send SMS without any charge.

As prices begin to rise, some mobile companies have started to give a limit to the number of free short text messages people can send.

Free messaging facility is expected to vanish completely with changes in tariff structure due in February.

To deal with short text messages, UK's mobile phone companies are changing the way they charge each other. So far, they were charging each other by the quantity of messages, but with the rising popularity of messages, they are now compelled to charge 3p per message.

The key players of UK's biggest mobile phone companies expect that these costs will balance out among them as they have almost equal number of subscribers.

However, these changes are adversely affecting companies that direct free SMS messages from UK mobile users to other Uk users through foreign networks.

The cost of a standard SMS message across Europe is same but they are not the same for bulk messages. The cost varies between 1.5 and 7.5 US cents if you send SMS across the GSM network in Europe.

As Switzerland, Germany and Italy are the lowest cost networks, so to reduce costs, many of the free SMS services are routed through these countries.

With the SMS charges going 3p per message, all this will change. It is doubtful that UK mobile users are going to send text messages to Germany and Switzerland. If this happens, these mobile phone networks are going to have to pay very heavy bills.
Talks are on between free SMS providers and potential partners that could provide some profits so that the cost of providing the free messaging service is compensated.

Several companies are rethinking about their free SMS service and are limiting their users to a particular number of messages per day.

Buckingham of mobile lifestreams consultancy said that the changes in charges were expected because phone networks are being flooded with SMS’s. These changes would affect the survival of many free SMS services.

Will the phone networks work out some plan to offset the cost of free SMSs or is this the end of free SMSs, is something that still remains to be seen.

Send Free SMS - Lucrative Option

2008-05-13T05:51:00.000-07:00

Internet Web Page Design

2008-05-13T05:46:00.000-07:00

Internet web page design is something we must master if we are to build a successful internet business. Most novices jump into a internet business opportunity with very little knowledge of both the internet and internet web page design.

If you wish to learn internet web page design then it’s best to start with the basics. There are a number of HTML editor programs that are available, some are free while others cost as much as a few hundred dollars. The trick to learning internet web page design is to find a program that is both easy to use and allows you to build a professional looking internet web page.

Where to begin. If you don’t have any experience in internet web page design then I would suggest you find an HTML editor program that provides step by step instructions and a point and click interface. By using this type of internet web page design program to begin with you will learn the basic fundamentals of internet web page design and create a professional looking page at the same time.

If you have a little experience in internet web page design then you may want to find a little more advanced HTML editor notepad++. With this type of program you will be able to build a little more advanced internet web page design, one down side is the cost of the program, another is the time required to learn how it works.

Internet web page design is both a technical and artistic process. Some times it is better to use a simple internet web page design program to take care of the technical part of the equation while you put most of your effort into the artistic aspect of building your web page.

2008-05-13T05:43:00.001-07:00

Engineers from the Silicon valley have created a virtual picture how Web 3.0 can revolutionize the internet. According to them, in 2030 Web 3.0 will be very powerful and smart. It will be able to connect every aspect of our digital lives.

Web 3.0 will have the possibility to know when you are typing an email and what subject the email has. It will also be able to suggest websites, books, documents and photos you have saved and choose which one can be relevant to your topic.

Basically the new web is going to almost have a brain. PHP Framework wants to improve the basic platform Internet. The main purpose of Web 2.0 was to gather collective intelligence of internet users to give information on internet a relevant value. The goal was to improve web's usability and creating connections between internet users.

In Web 3.0, the aim is to renew the web's key index. The java mobile application "a natural language search": search engines will be able to answer full questions and be not focused on the original search terms. The platform will be more open which means the possibility to mix and match (Mash-up) different services on the web.

According to John Doerr, one of the founding board member at Google "Web 3.0 will be a immersive and multi-dimensional environment". Many areas will be affected by the web, he warned them that they need to be ready.
