Will You Add? - I Learned Something From A Tom Cruise Movie (Updated 3 Times)
How you finance the expansion of your business is important. Borrowing and understanding the consequences of borrowing for your financing is extremely important. If you are going to borrow the money to finance the expansion of your business, you need to make sure that you are not going to get yourself into a cash crunch situation. This is where you are going to have a lot of money coming in from new business completed and invoiced but not have enough current cash flow. When you borrow you will be financing new equipment, locations, signage, or perhaps a new work truck on a credit line, lease or loan payments. The initial payments are going to be due before you get your increased income from the expansion in. This can be a major critical problem and we do not want this to happen to you.When you finance your business location or expansion, you need to make sure that if you will be borrowing and will have to pay that money back with interest charged on the various loan programs. This is going to cut into your cash flow. You could also charge the equipment on a credit card, which is about the same rate as an equipment business lease. Maybe even a little less believe it or not.The easiest way to get financing for expanding your business is to go down to your bank and get a loan. But you are not going to be able to get a loan if you have been hiding all the cash from your business, not making any deposits. That is something to think about. So many small entrepreneurs start out on the wrong foot hiding or skimming cash, then when they need to expand they have no proof of income

Okay, now that you have all of the facts, go take another look at that hilarious mouse picture at the top of this article. And the next time someone tries to explain to you that the President can do anything he wants to, direct them to this page, and tell them that Tom Cruise actually knows something they don't.
(UPDATE 1) BREAKING NEWS - 7/13/06 4:51PM California Time On the heels of this investigation, and the distribution of the results to the mainstream media and affiliated legal parties, it is my pleasure to announce that Valerie Plame Wilson, and her husband Joseph Wilson have filed suit in U.S. District Court today.
'In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Valerie Plame and her husband, Joseph Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador, accused Cheney, Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby of participating in a "whispering campaign" to reveal Plame's CIA identity and punish Wilson for criticizing the Bush administration's motives in Iraq.' -(AP)

Like most phenomena associated with computing, internet access generally continues to increase year on year across the globe. PC ownership and modem ownership, in particular, have both continued to grow and penetration of the internet is now higher at home than at work in countries with the highest overall access.There is no better time to get your business online, as e-commerce continues to grow in importance. Even as far back as 1999, findings by MORI in a survey conducted for Intentia, revealed that “e-business was set to double in importance over the next two years with the US only slightly ahead of Europe, demonstrating companies cannot afford to ignore e-business”. Even today, there has been a continuous increase in this growth, which has risen exponentially with the affordability of computers and the ease of connecting to the Internet.The research revealed that across the manufacturing, retail and wholesale industry sectors 56% considered e-business would be essential or very important in 1 - 2 years' time for the sector in which they operated compared to 13% who considered it would be unimportant. Around two-thirds perceived it could give them a competitive advantage.The Internet provides businesses with an opportunity for growth. This is especially important for small and medium sized organisations, which are now able to compete against the larger and more established companies. The main reason for this is down to cost. Now the ‘small players’ have the opportunity and ability to exploit new markets without the cost of having a traditional bricks and mortar business.
I know, it's hard to believe, isn't it? I laughed at the title myself several times before finally acknowledging the truth of the matter.
What did I learn specifically? Well, it wasn't how to steal cheese, although thank you so much for the picture anonymous web user! Image credit: http://users.utu.fi/hajala/Mission Impossible.jpg
What I learned, specifically from Mission Impossible (The 1st film, released in 1996), was the fate of an exposed NOC. A 'NOC' is an employee of the United States Government, working in a Non-Official Cover status in the field of Espionage. The fate of a NOC upon being exposed, I learned in 'Mission Impossible' is an almost assured assassination.
The crux of the entire film depended upon Ethan Hunt (A NOC played by Cruise)'s ability to keep a list of NOCs from being exposed. American espionage agents, both official and non, both fictional and non, have many enemies that would like to see them dead.
'Oh, it's just a movie!' You might say. But in fact, NOCs are real, and their identity is Classified by the United States Congress.
Wikipedia on NOCs -(Non-Official Cover Operatives) "The degree of sophistication put into nonofficial cover stories can vary considerably. Sometimes, an agent will simply be appointed to a position in a well-established company which can provide the appropriate opportunities. Other times, entire front companies can be established in order to provide false identities for agents. Examples include Air America, used by the CIA during the Vietnam War, and made famous by the eponymous film. Another is Brewster Jennings & Associates, used by the CIA in WMD investigations, and made famous by the Plame Affair. The use of front companies can be dangerous, however, as the exposure of a single agent will expose the entire operation." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonofficial_cover
The topic of the day in American Politics has most obviously been the admission by Reporter Robert Novak that Karl Rove indeed did inform him of the identity of Valerie Plame, a NOC, and that he did knowingly print Valerie Plame's identity in his syndicated column.
Did Robert Novak break the law? According to 50 USC Sec. 435. Procedures (which is the law in question), 'No'. A reporter is not bound by the restrictions imposed upon an employee of the Executive Branch. He did however commit Treason in this case, as this particular exposure of Classified Information did measurable damage to the security of our nation. (See Wikipedia Entry on NOC above)
Did Karl Rove break the law? According to 50 USC Sec. 435. Procedures (which is the law in question), 'Yes'. Mr Rove, as an employee of the current Bush Administration, is bound by the restrictions imposed upon a member of the Executive Branch not to divulge Classified Information to those without proper authorization. He is further guilty of Treason in this case, as this particular exposure of Classified Information did measurable damage to the security of our nation. (See Wikipedia Entry on NOC above)
50 USC Section 435 is a Federal Law, and is THE law in question when attempting to reconcile acts of declassifying data. If there is a question as to whether or not a 'leak' was legal, 50 USC Sec. 435 is where lawyers go to find out. It can be found here: http://frwebgate1.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate.cgi?WAISdocID=743412387478 0 0 0&WAISaction=retrieve
It can also be found here: http://www.washingtonwatchdog.org/documents/usc/ttl50/ch15/subchVI/sec435.html
Further, 50 USC Sec. 435 is posted in word format in the sidebar for this page, so you can download it for your own use.
All Amendments and resulting Executive Orders (which operate within but do not trump this law) are included at the above address. Also included within the law is a detailed outline of the legal process an Executive Branch Official must undergo in order to legally declassify data. Anyone who cares to speak to you regarding the legality of the Valerie Plame outing, who does not reference 50 USC Section 435, should be questioned further before acceptance as a credible source.
This law was enacted by Congress on December 5th, 1991, well before Bush took office.
There has been some question recently among the public regarding the status of Valerie Plame's identity before it's publication by Novak and Judith Miller (NY Times). To bring clarity to the situation, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_leak_grand_jury_investigation
In September 2003, the CIA requested that the Justice Department investigate the possible unauthorized disclosure of a CIA officer's classified identity, that officer being Plame. Wikipedia has detailed the entire investigation that followed the CIA's actions here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plame_affair#_note-32
President Bush has readily admitted that Plame's status was indeed classified, and when the investigation began he vowed to fire anyone involved in the 'leak' from his Administration.
George W. Bush - June 10, 2004 (Responding to a media question which asked "do you stand by your pledge to fire anyone found to have . . . leaked [Valerie Plame's] name?"): "Yes. And that's up to the U.S. Attorney to find the facts."
George W. Bush - July 18, 2005: "I would like this to end as quickly as possible so we know the facts. And if someone committed a crime, they will no longer work in my administration."
George W. Bush - September 30, 2003: " And if there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of. ... I don't know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information. If somebody did leak classified information, I'd like to know it, and we'll take the appropriate action."
Bush's Press Secretary, Scott McClellan affirmed these statements repeatedly: Scott McClellan - September 29, 2003: "The President has set high standards, the highest of standards for people in his administration. He's made it very clear to people in his administration that he expects them to adhere to the highest standards of conduct. If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration."
Scott McClellan - October 7, 2003: "Let me answer what the President has said. I speak for the President and I'll talk to you about what he wants." and "If someone leaked classified information, the President wants to know. If someone in this administration leaked classified information, they will no longer be a part of this administration, because that's not the way this White House operates, that's not the way this President expects people in his administration to conduct their business." -source: Wikipedia.org
To summarize thus far, 50 USC Section 435 states that Executive Branch employees and officials must declassify data in a manner consistent with the outlined format within said law. The manner of the leak was not consistent with this law, implicating the leakers as guilty of violating 50 USC Sec 435. This information should naturally beget indictments pursuant to this law. The leakers are now (as of June 12th, 2006) known in the public forum to be including but not limited to: Karl Rove, Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, and Dick Armitage. President Bush and Dick Cheney have admitted publicly to authorizing the leak, including them in this violation. Their claim of Executive Privilege does not exempt them from laws specifically written to curtail the powers of the Executive Branch.
Further, this particular act of illegal declassification was detrimental to the security of the United States of America. This leak exposed a CIA front company, Brewster Jennings, and every operative both domestic and abroad working within that front to establish solid intelligence on the nuclear capabilities of Iran.
An act of this nature is otherwise known as 'Treason'. According to my source of choice for this article, Wikipedia: "In law, treason is the crime of disloyalty to one's nation or state. A person who betrays the nation of their citizenship and/or reneges on an oath of loyalty and in some way willfully cooperates with an enemy, is considered to be a traitor."
The Constitution tells us exactly what to do with those guilty of Treason who are employed within the Executive Branch: Section. 4. The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Trying to become one of the top rated websites on the internet search engines is not an easy task to say the least. With the number of websites currently in operation creeping towards one trillion, there are those that believe that the old strategies for gaining a top rank may be dead, but there are still some things that a person should do if they have any chance of showing up in the search results of any of the top search engines. Thankfully these are anything but difficult and anyone with a small amount of internet related search knowledge can work through the issues. Working with these issues is fairly simple and the main goal is to get listed in the web directories.Web directories are nothing more then storage facilities for website links and descriptions. That sounds simple enough right? Well what most people fail to realize is the fact that they are much more important then was previously thought, making web directories a top priority for those who are thinking of launching a website. This all stands to reason as web directories are the number one area where search engines and other systems look to produce information for web browsers around the world. The reason behind this is the fact that web directories are known to store and sort all of the links that are placed with them in a fashion that makes searching for the proper results simple. This creates an ease of operation for the search engines who normally use complicated equations in an effort to produce the best results.Web directories are a completely opt in type deal. Only those who submit their website link and descri

So, you want to start your home-based business.You have an idea.But do you know where to start???? That?s important to start with the legal aspects of running a home-based business: business registration and taxes.The first thing you should consider is choosing an appropriate form of business.From a legal point of view, there are four types of businesses:Sole proprietorships (This is the simplest form of business. A sole proprietor directly owns the business and is directly responsible for its debts.)Partnerships (A form of business entity in which 2 or more co-owners engage in business for profit. For the most part, the partners own the business assets together and are personally liable for business debts.)Corporations (A corporation is a legal entity that is separate from its owners, the shareholders. No shareholder of a corporation is personally liable for the debts, obligations or acts of the corporation.)Co-operatives. (A co-operative is a corporation organized and controlled by its members, who pool resources to provide themselves and their patrons with goods, services, or other benefits.)I think in most home business cases the most suitable is sole proprietorship.A sole proprietorship is a business entity owned and managed by one person. The sole proprietorship can be organized very informally, is not subject to much federal or state regulation, and is relatively simple to manage and control.REGISTERING YOUR SOLE PROPRIETORSHIPUnlike an LLC or a corporation, you genera

Getting creative with creative services5 doorways to building businessWhen all is said and done, building a business is not rocket science. But you must reach out and build meaningful relationships by being very clear about who you are, what you offer and how you offer it.Please do not confuse this with networking. To succeed at creating a business that reflects your passions, you must go to your clients and connect with them. The method you choose must suit you. Otherwise you won't do it or you’ll do it with limited success.Imagine five doorways, each with a distinct purpose for connecting with people. Take out a paper and a pen and draw the doorways. As we go, write notes in each one. It will get the ideas out of your head and help focus in ways that reflect your unique approach.Doorway No. 1: Where If you're like me, you would rather get a rabies shot than go to networking events. Yet, building a community of business is central to success.In this doorway, instead of thinking about where you "should" go, write ways you already connect with people, or ways you’ve connected in the past that come easy to you. Write down places or situations where you enjoy connecting.Mine-- A class. A creative project. Even shopping. I've made some of my best connections while shopping.

If someone in this administration leaked classified information, they will no longer be a part of this administration, because that's not the way this White House operates, that's not the way this President expects people in his administration to conduct their business." -source: Wikipedia.org
To summarize thus far, 50 USC Section 435 states that Executive Branch employees and officials must declassify data in a manner consistent with the outlined format within said law. The manner of the leak was not consistent with this law, implicating the leakers as guilty of violating 50 USC Sec 435. This information should naturally beget indictments pursuant to this law. The leakers are now (as of June 12th, 2006) known in the public forum to be including but not limited to: Karl Rove, Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, and Dick Armitage. President Bush and Dick Cheney have admitted publicly to authorizing the leak, including them in this violation. Their claim of Executive Privilege does not exempt them from laws specifically written to curtail the powers of the Executive Branch.
Further, this particular act of illegal declassification was detrimental to the security of the United States of America. This leak exposed a CIA front company, Brewster Jennings, and every operative both domestic and abroad working within that front to establish solid intelligence on the nuclear capabilities of Iran.
An act of this nature is otherwise known as 'Treason'. According to my source of choice for this article, Wikipedia: "In law, treason is the crime of disloyalty to one's nation or state. A person who betrays the nation of their citizenship and/or reneges on an oath of loyalty and in some way willfully cooperates with an enemy, is considered to be a traitor."
The Constitution tells us exactly what to do with those guilty of Treason who are employed within the Executive Branch: Section. 4. The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

All employees and officials of the Executive Branch are subject to the above cited section of the Constitution.
Okay, now that you have all of the facts, go take another look at that hilarious mouse picture at the top of this article. And the next time someone tries to explain to you that the President can do anything he wants to, direct them to this page, and tell them that Tom Cruise actually knows something they don't.

Ever wonder about the evolution of the podcast? While podcasting is a comparatively young technology it still has a rather fascinating albeit brief history.The background of the word, "podcast" is quite fascinating and is reflective of the dynamic nature of the Internet community. Podcasting is a term that was only coined in 2004, combining two words: iPod and broadcasting. Ironically, this definition is somewhat of a misnomer since neither component is completely accurate. Neither podcasting nor listening to podcasts requires an iPod or other portable player. In fact, podcasts can be listened to on any mp3 enabled device including a desktop computer. The name association came about simply because Apple Computer's iPod was the best-selling portable digital audio player when podcasting began. What's more, no over-the-air broadcasting is required either. Even the editors of the New Oxford American Dictionary jumped on the podcasting bandwagon by declaring "podcasting" word of the year for 2005. The term was defined as "a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player." The word will be added to the online version of the dictionary during their next update.The term, podcasting was coined by journalist, Ben Hammersley, and then popularized by former MTV VJ and media entrepreneur, Adam Curry. Mr. Curry created an Applescript application that automated the process of downloading and syncing audio files to iPods. Other names or alternative interpretations of the letters, "P-O-D" were proposed, the most po
