| Adsense - The Powerful Passive Income Generator
Webmasters have a revolutionary new method of collecting income from their websites.
Whereas in the past advertising revenue was reserved for those sites with large a coming and going of visitors, now even teenagers are making a quick buck with their online hobby blogs. People place adsense on their online family photo albums, their blogs and their business sites. The minimum you would get, even with a small amount of traffic, is for adsense to pay for your hosting costs.
Adsense revolutionized the world of paid advertising; banner advertising is based on the number of visitors you attract to your site, so the number of banner impressions dictates the revenue you receive. Google Adsense is quite different; it is the number of visitors that actually click on the advertising that determine how much you earn.
Rain can't wash out tennis tourney
The Nature Coast Tennis Foundation held its third annual Junior Singles Championship at Delta Woods Park in Spring Hill this past weekend. Weather trouble caused a move from Saturday to Sunday, but the rains held off long enough for the foundation to finish the tournament. With 42 entries, tournament director Louise Downey characterized the turnout as "highly successful." In the High School Girls final, Tamara Bustard defeated Alexa Burns in straight sets for the title, 7-5, 7-5. The High School Boys title was arguably the match of the tournament. Lasting more than two hours, Anthony Carter ousted P.J. Waterson in a final set tiebreaker, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6. In the Middle School divisions, the girls champion was Mallorie Pickersgill, who dominated Kayla Papp in straight sets, 6-0, 6-1.
A year later, Chief Illiniwek debate remains at U. Illinois
Other University traditions have not been retired along with the Chief. The traditional music that was played when the Chief was the symbol is still played by the Marching Illini during halftime of sporting events at the University. "There are people who say there's too much expression of the Chief Illiniwek still," said Tom Hardy, executive director for University relations. "They don't want him on homecoming parades, and they would change performance music from the band that pre-dates Chief Illiniwek because they associate it with the Chief." Miranda Jimenez, junior in LAS, said she feels that using the traditional music of the Chief is encouraging people to hold on to the negative ideology the Chief represented. "I think (the music) evokes the same ideologies of having a person perform traditional dances, and that's offensive," Jimenez said.

Between the Lines Latest Post | Last 10 Posts | Archives Chrysler outsources parts of IT to Tata Posted in: General Outsourcing Offshore outsourcing Chrysler, which recently became an independent company after separating from Daimler, has outsourced its IT to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in "a multi-year contract" worth about $120 million. The automaker is in the process of being remade by CEO Robert Nardelli, who was technology savvy as leader of Home Depot. This time around Nardelli appears to be leaning on outsourcing its IT in contrast to his approach at Home Depot. Under the pact, Tata will provide support, maintenance and services that "will encompass a portion of the functional areas within Chrysler, such as Sales and Marketing and Shared Services." posted by Larry Dignan February 20, 2008 @ 5:50 am Last 10 posts: EIC Podcast: iPhone and business; Mix '08 wrap; Facebook's new hire (03-07) Sprint and T-Mobile: A disaster in waiting (03-07) Digg: Better off with Microsoft or Google?

Math-challenged Sheriff Joe Arpaio can’t account for the $41 million ...
Magedson began distributing a flier, promising, for $250, to help people fight against a corrupt City Hall or companies that had screwed them. He says he never actually charged the fee; instead, he used it to weed out people who weren't serious about pursuing their claims. He began to hone a process of just how to fight The Man, to develop a formula that really worked. He was planning to write a book. (Today he sells that book, a slim paperback, from the Rip-Off Report for $21.95. Not to give away a trade secret, but the formula basically comes down to threats to picket, and then picketing.) One day in the mid-'90s, visiting a shop owned by some of his former swap-meet tenants, he says, he met a woman who designed Web sites. Hearing about his unusual line of work, she asked him, "Why don't you make a Web site?" And that was the start.
Don't blame Duluth cops for action of one
Several years ago, a friend and I, and our dates, were at a haunted house display in Norcross. Long story short, my friend got into a disagreement with another patron. A friend of the patron jumped into the discussion and started to beat up my friend. Police came to break up the scuffle, at which point the guy who jumped my friend said, "Hold on. I'm with the Douglasville Police Department. Here's my badge." The police arrested the errant officer and charged him with assault. They said that just because he had a badge did not give him license to act as he pleased. The police asked my friend if he wanted to pursue the charges. They wanted to assure my friend that they wanted justice and felt what the officer did reflected badly on them. My friend declined.
