Thu, 27 Dec 2012 20:57:59 -0800 Tim Boetsch is hoping his fists, not his mouth, can earn him a title shot http://ucopyp.posterous.com/tim-boetsch-is-hoping-his-fists-not-his-mouth http://ucopyp.posterous.com/tim-boetsch-is-hoping-his-fists-not-his-mouth

The UFC's next title challengers at welterweight and light heavyweight are both fighters who have less-than-deserving records. Nick Diaz will fight Georges St-Pierre for the title at UFC 158, despite the fact he's coming off a loss and a suspension and Johny Hendricks has four wins in a row.

Chael Sonnen is a middleweight, but his ability to smack talk and bring attention to his fights means he will be fighting for the light heavyweight title after coaching against Jon Jones on "The Ultimate Fighter."

The message to other fighters near a title shot is clear -- the UFC wants title fights that tons of people will watch more than it wants ones that are fairly made with only competitive integrity in mind.? Someone like Tim Boetsch, who is fighting Costa Phillippou at UFC 155 this weekend, is a good fighter on a four-fight win streak.

What he is not is a vocal fighter who talks trash. Boetsch talked with MMA Weekly about how he doesn't intend to change his ways just to get a title shot.

?Just because I?m one of those guys who isn?t very vocal about calling people out and saying I deserve such and such an opponent. Michael (Bisping)?s very good at that and he?s made a career out of it, there are talks of him getting a title shot maybe before even I do, so he?s done a good job of promoting himself and that?s one way of doing it,? said Boetsch.

?I think the better way to do it, or the way I prefer to do it, is to step in the cage and beat people up, and eventually they?re going to have to give me a title shot because I?m going to run out of people to beat up.?

It seems like a better plan, but it didn't work for Hendricks.

Mon, 17 Dec 2012 12:53:44 -0800 Team building in your office - MWB Business Exchange http://ucopyp.posterous.com/team-building-in-your-office-mwb-business-exc http://ucopyp.posterous.com/team-building-in-your-office-mwb-business-exc

It is not sufficient for your staff to simply work as individuals in the same office space or on the same project. To be efficient and effective, your staff must work as part of a team. The objectives of team building are to understand team dynamics and improve how your team interacts together.

Here are some tips on building an effective team:

1. Team dynamics ? consideration must be given to the overall dynamics of the team and its members

2. Team members ? a successful team comprises effective individuals who have experience in problem solving, are action oriented and demonstrate sincerity in addressing problems

3. Team relationships ? a successful team will consist of individuals who can give and receive feedback

4. Problem Solving ? in order to solve any problem, the team must have a clear goal and the team must be focussed on achieving this goal. This is achieved in a relaxed, accepting and comfortable environment with honest and open communication

5. Team Leadership ? a team leader must be competent and focused. They must also ensure a co-operative environment while building the confidence of each member of the team, setting priorities, demonstrating knowledge and managing performance with constructive feedback

6. Organisational environment ? the culture and climate of your business should be conducive to team performance

Working as a team is not the same as working in a group; in a team, there is group accountability instead of individual accountability. Team building fosters a team approach to working on projects. Some advantages include more flexibility in skills and aptitudes, more productivity and the encouragement of individual improvement and development.

Sat, 01 Dec 2012 23:47:23 -0800 6 Steps to a Small Business Social Media Strategy | Social Media ... http://ucopyp.posterous.com/6-steps-to-a-small-business-social-media-stra http://ucopyp.posterous.com/6-steps-to-a-small-business-social-media-stra

One billion people actively use Facebook each month. Twitter boasts 500 million users. Seventy-two hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute. Sixty-two percent of adults worldwide now use social media.

Because your customers or clients are using social media daily, communicating and marketing on social platforms is no longer a luxury. It?s a necessity.

?

6 Steps to Create A Small Business Social Media Strategy

Image

  • The first step to developing a strategy is to define your goals. Consider your overall business and marketing goals. Which of these translates to social media marketing?? Create both quantitative and qualitative goals. For example, you may want to ?generate six leads per month from social media,? ?increase website traffic from Facebook 30%,? or ?increase brand awareness.?

?

  • The second step is to choose the platforms that fit. It?s obvious thatFacebook and Twitter are rocking social media, but if your product or service is visual, you may consider Pinterest or Instagram.

?

  • The third step is to plan both content categories and content types. If you are a PR Consultant, for example, your content categories might include PR tips for small businesses, stories of how big companies handle PR crises in the media, client successes, and ?behind the scenes? sneak peeks.

Your content types might include links (to your own blog and outside websites, too), infographics, videos of yourself explaining a hot PR topic, or podcasts interviewing happy clients. Your content types may vary by social media platform, as some are more conducive to certain types of content than others.

?

  • The fourth step is to determine the posting frequency for each social media platform. Do research for the platforms of interest. Create a plan for how often you will post.

?

  • The fifth step is to create an editorial calendar. I suggest creating your own in Microsoft Excel (or Numbers for Mac). You can setup the spreadsheet in a way that makes sense for you. Plan a month in advance, and map out when and what you will post each day on which platforms. This will hold you accountable and help you spend less time on a daily basis, as the work is mapped out for you in advance.

?

  • The sixth step is to determine who will execute the strategy daily. Do you have time to manage your company?s social media presence in a way that will achieve the goals set? If not, you may need to hire a social media manager.

GENEVA (AP) ? The International Cycling Union turned to the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Wednesday for help in choosing a team to investigate the governing body's links to the Lance Armstrong doping case.

Australian lawyer John Coates, the president of the sports court's board, has suggested names for a three-member inquiry panel that soon will begin work.

"We would like to thank John Coates for his recommendations, which we will follow to the letter," UCI President Pat McQuaid said in a statement.

The commission will include a "respected senior lawyer," a forensic accountant and an experienced sports administrator all "independent of cycling," the embattled governing body said.

The UCI said it already has contacted lawyers and sports officials recommended by Coates, who is also a member of the International Olympic Committee executive board.

The inquiry is seen as a key to restoring the UCI's damaged credibility following the Armstrong affair. A report and recommendations are due by June 1.

On the panel's agenda will be accusations that cycling's leaders covered up suspicious doping tests given by Armstrong during his 1999-2005 run of Tour de France victories, and unethically accepted donations totaling $125,000 from him.

The longstanding claims were revived by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report last month that detailed massive doping by Armstrong's teams, but were not directly addressed in a 1,000-page dossier of evidence.

"The purpose of this independent commission is to look into the findings of the USADA report and ultimately to make conclusions and recommendations that will enable the UCI to restore confidence in the sport of cycling and in the UCI as its governing body," said McQuaid, who was elected its president weeks after Armstrong's record seventh victory.

Hein Verbruggen, McQuaid's predecessor, remains honorary president and has been the target of severe criticism for leading the UCI during an era when a culture of doping allowed Armstrong's teams to dominate the sport's greatest event by cheating.

The UCI endorsed USADA's findings last month, banning him for life and stripping Armstrong of all of his race results since August 1998, including the seven Tour titles.

Fri, 15 Jun 2012 14:35:54 -0700 Use These Ideas To Improve Your Home - Juss Free Vector Art http://ucopyp.posterous.com/use-these-ideas-to-improve-your-home-juss-fre http://ucopyp.posterous.com/use-these-ideas-to-improve-your-home-juss-fre

If you?re thinking about doing home improvement work, get a home inspection first. If you?ve owned your home for at least a decade there may be some damage that could affect the safety of your home. Have a home inspector come through and check your entire house, then pay for any repairs before you spend all your money on improvements.

Home improvement costs often skyrocket when homeowners fail to take un-livability into consideration when scheduling an intensive remodel. If you can?t cook in your kitchen or bath in your bathroom, you will end up eating out a lot and possibly staying in a hotel for a few nights. These costs add up quickly if you weren?t expecting them. Add another line to your budget for food and lodging if necessary.

Check all your power tools before operating them. Look at all the safety guides and protections. Sometimes professionals will remove safety guides from their power tools because they think this makes their job easier. Make sure all of your safety guides are attached and in working order before operating any power tool.

If a natural disaster has recently occurred and you need to hire a contractor you need to be careful. There are some shady characters who wait for emergency situations to occur and then take advantage of those that are unsuspecting and who have a trusting heart. Do research before you hire someone to do repairs on your home.

Opt to do your laundry every time your hamper fills up, instead of waiting for your dirty laundry to pile for a week. Throwing your laundry in the washing machine every two days cuts down the amount of time you need to spend folding, waiting for the washing machine and the dryer and puts less strain on your machine.

If you have decided to replace your roof with metal you can take your time in doing so because there are many to choose from. Make sure you pick the one that will save you in heating and cooling costs, that are fire resistant, water and snow proof, and last longer.

If you have a problem with the home improvements your contractor completed, complain. Start with the contractor himself and tell him which parts of your contract he?s violated. If you don?t get a resolution by phone, follow up with a letter via registered mail. From there, go to your local consumer protection office and ask for help.

When looking for wise home improvement projects to undertake, consider adding a dedicated space for computer networking equipment. The electronic needs of the modern home are always growing. A clean, dry, well air-conditioned space, with easy access to electrical power and network wiring, will give current and future owners, a convenient hub for electronics wired throughout the house.

Home improvement projects that involve changes to the plumbing can sometimes take unexpectedly longer. There are many instances where plumbing changes may require an extensive re-routing that was not identified during the planning phases. You can however plan for these uncertainties ahead of time by purchasing drinking water and making arrangements with neighbors to use their showers and toilets.

When making renovations on your home, you should make sure you hire a contractor you trust. In order for the employee and contractor to both feel satisfied, they should have a certain level of understanding and trust with one another. If that level of trust and understanding is not there, then it is very likely that one or both of you will be unhappy about the results.

If thinking about a way to do some home improvements that will really add a touch of class to any room, consider doing crown moldings. Crown moldings come in a variety of different shapes and can conform to any ceiling. They will add a touch of elegance and value to any room in the home.

As the article states, there are many resources out there to assist with home improvement projects. A conscientious homeowner will do much research before beginning any type of home improvement project to insure that they have the correct materials and tools on hand to complete the project and ensure a successful improvement.

Maybe they need diabold machines, or Premier Election Solutions, as it is now known.

Egypt descends into more chaos as parliament is dissolved and military assumes control.

http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpre...sumes-control/

Quote:

June 14, 2012 ? EGYPT ? Egypt?s highest court declared the parliament invalid Thursday, and the country?s interim military rulers promptly declared full legislative authority, triggering a new level of chaos and confusion in the country?s leadership. The Supreme Constitutional Court?s ruling means that parliament must be dissolved, state TV reported. The court also ruled that a former member of President Hosni Mubarak?s regime may run in a presidential election runoff this weekend. The court found that all articles making up the law that regulated parliamentary elections are invalid, said Showee Elsayed, a constitutional lawyer. Parliament had been in session for just over four months. It was dominated by Islamists, a group long viewed with suspicion by the military. The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, in control of the country since Mubarak?s ouster, announced that it now has full legislative power and will announce a 100-person assembly that will write the country?s new constitution by Friday. Due to a separate decision by the high court Thursday, Former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik will be allowed to run in this weekend?s runoff election. The court rejected a law barring former regime members from running in the election. Shafik was the last prime minister under Mubarak. The runoff Saturday and Sunday pits him against Mohamed Morsi, head of the Muslim Brotherhood?s political arm. Riot police and military personnel, some in armored vehicles, were outside the court ahead of the rulings. Military intelligence officers were also present.

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 07:52:46 -0700 Man who last saw Fort Bragg soldier in custody http://ucopyp.posterous.com/man-who-last-saw-fort-bragg-soldier-in-custod http://ucopyp.posterous.com/man-who-last-saw-fort-bragg-soldier-in-custod

Authorities in North Carolina have stopped searching a local pond for missing Fort Bragg soldier Kelli Bordeaux. NBC's Mike Viqueira reports.

By Kari Huus, msnbc.com

Nicholas Holbert, the last man to see missing 23-year-old Fort Bragg soldier Kelli Bordeaux alive, turned himself in to police and was in custody Friday afternoon on a charge not related to Bordeaux?s disappearance, NBC News reported.

Holbert, a convicted sex offender, was held at the Cumberland County Detention Center in Fayetteville, N.C., for not updating authorities with his address as required under state law.


Bordeaux, who is married, was seen with?Holbert at Froggy Bottom bar in Fayetteville Friday night, NBC-17 reported, and the two rang up a bar tab of $28 that night, for four shots and four beers, according to the bar owner, who would not give his name.?

Holbert was not a bar employee but lived in a tent behind the bar and came there often, NBC-17 reported, citing the owner.? The tent is no longer there. Holbert?wasa convicted at age 16?for indecent liberties - or knowingly causing another person to have sexual contact - with a 5-year-old child.

Earlier Friday?afternoon, Bordeaux's?brother?said there was little progress in the search for his sister.

"Everybody?s doing the best they can with the resources and the manpower to try and find Kelli? safe and sound," Matt Henson, 29, said at a press briefing. But he conceded that it was "frustrating" and urged people to come forward with tips on his sister's disappearance.

Bordeaux was reported missing Monday when she did not report for duty at Fort Bragg. She is a combat Army medic with the 44th Medical Brigade.

NBC - 17

Nicholas Holbert, 25, is the last person known to have seen Kelli Bordeaux before her disappearance. He is in custody because he changed residences without informing police, which he is supposed to do as a convicted sex offender.

Authorities questioned Holbert, 25, who said he drove Bordeaux home the night she disappeared, according to WTVD-TVin Fayetteville. He reportedly denied any involvement in her disappearance, saying he dropped her off at the entrance to her neighborhood.

Fayetteville Police Chief Tom Bergamine told reporters at a press conference Thursday that Holbert is one of the last persons that had contact with Bordeaux, and said anybody who saw her early Saturday morning is someone they want to talk to.

Bergamine said there were more than 20 people at the bar that night and that police knew some of the names, but not all.

Bergamine would not say if it had been Holbert's tent had been confiscated for evidence.

He said the Fayetteville police have "no new leads."

Police searched a pond Wednesday night and Thursday morning, without result.

The family of missing Fort Bragg soldier Kelli Bordeaux holds a news conference to discuss her disappearance.

Henson said that Bordeaux?s husband, Mike Bordeaux, who is a civilian, was also involved in handing out fliers and searching for the missing soldier.

Asked if there were clues that his sister was having trouble or had a past of going missing, Henson dismissed the idea.

"There was no indication that anything was out of the ordinary," he said. "She loved life. Everything was good."

Henson said he remained "hopeful that she?s just being held hostage ? maybe hurt but is going to be OK."

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 05:32:50 -0700 Internet Marketing: Vital Part of Small Business Marketing Strategies ... http://ucopyp.posterous.com/internet-marketing-vital-part-of-small-busine http://ucopyp.posterous.com/internet-marketing-vital-part-of-small-busine Posted in domain name exchange by admin - Apr 08, 2012

You have to let them know, IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY, that your web site is there.

This HAS to be part of any Internet marketing strategy you develop. This is actually a basic marketing principle. Customers are not going to look for you; you have to look for them. Promoting your web site on-line and building traffic is the subject of thousands of web sites, e-zones, books, courses and seminars. Using the web to promote your site, however, assumes that your customers are surfers. But there is a large percentage of our population that is not as savvy with the internet as we would like them to be.

So, what about the large percentages of the population who are not? They will only find out about you through traditional marketing and public relations media. Unless you have a high budget, the TV, radio, classified ad route is not recommended but if you do run ads, be sure to mention your web site everywhere. Make it part of your Internet Marketing Strategy. Another guiding principle is that your off-line internet marketing activities should make it easy for your prospect to go straight to your web site. One of the best ways to market your website off-line is direct mail postcards.

If your prospect sees your website on a billboard as she?s driving home, she probably won?t look you up when she gets to the office the next day. This is not the only medium that has problems like this. Newspapers are bulky, radio has to spell it out and like before most people are driving at the time. On the other hand, if your prospect is sitting at her computer and a post card comes in the mail announcing your web site, she can just turn around and type in your URL and she?s at your web site.

www.marketers-traffic-course.com

www.website-conversion-mastery.com

Now if someone is in the office reading a trade journal and comes across an article about you in the magazine, it?s not difficult for him to copy your URL into his browser and pay your site a visit. I don?t mean to say that those other avenues won?t drive traffic to your site, but it will take numerous impressions and repetition to get them to remember your address. On the other hand, direct mail postcards are generally received at the home or office where a computer is present, and if received somewhere else they are small enough to keep with you until you can get to a computer. This way, your prospective customer will be able to take the take right over to their desk top computer, type in your address and go right to your site.

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 05:32:35 -0700 The Blueprint to Creating a Successful Online Home Business http://ucopyp.posterous.com/the-blueprint-to-creating-a-successful-online http://ucopyp.posterous.com/the-blueprint-to-creating-a-successful-online Creating your online home business can be one of the most fulfilling things you will ever do. Making it successful would not only boost your self esteem, but would also put you in a strong position to take care of your family and help many other people. Successful online home business entails the following:

Develop a business plan

A business plan helps you have clear cut goals and strategies. It also helps you identify your strengths or weaknesses as well as provide you with an opportunity to analyze your competition.

Choose a niche

You need to specialize in your chosen field to be successful. Many people fail because they try handling too many products at once in the beginning. By concentrating on one particular product or a few products in one niche, your success rate is heightened immensely. Make sure that the niche you choose is profitable by doing a thorough research before you invest your time and money

Register your own domain name

A domain name costs less than $10 a year, but goes a long way in establishing your presence on the internet. Having your own domain name shows that you are serious and professional about your online home business. Don't be tempted to go for the free sub-domains that are always being peddled on the internet. The domain name that you choose should ideally have your keywords included. This will make it simpler to get a good ranking with the search engines once you start your SEO campaigns. A good starting point is the Google keyword selector tool. This will give you an indication of the popularity of your intended domain.

Set up a Hosting account

A good domain goes together with a good hosting account. Research on the available hosting companies and chose one that offers a guarantee on uptime. You might not need very complicated features in your hosting account to start with. Therefore you should be able to get a good hosting account in the $2 to $5 price range. A good example is HostGator which gives you an option to try out a month's hosting at $0.1

Marketing

There are plenty of marketing methods available on the internet. Try as many as possible initially and stick with the ones that work for you. Check out your competition to get more marketing ideas. If you have a small budget like many small business start-ups, you will need to consider the many free advertising resources like search engine optimization as well as good use of social media.

Board-certified real estate attorney Gary M. Singer writes about the housing market in this space each Friday. To ask him a question about short sales, mortgages, refinancing, homeowner's associations or any other residential real estate topic, click here.

Q: I bought my house in 2006, and I owe $190,000. It?s now worth about $50,000. Yikes! I recently got married, and the neighborhood scares my wife. Safety is an issue, and we want out of the neighborhood. If my wife buys a house and I complete a short sale or get foreclosed on, can the lender come after her? ? Jonathan

A: No. Debt is individual to the person, and it does not transfer to a spouse or other relative, unless they voluntarily agree to assume the debt. But during your wife?s application process, her lender may look at your housing situation to make sure you are current.

Q: Several years ago I bought a property with my girlfriend. Both of our names are on the title. But because of credit issues, only I am responsible for the loan. We broke up, and I am trying to complete a short sale on the property, but she is not cooperating. What can I do? ? Bob

A: While you do have some options, you are in a tough spot. In order to sell a property, all its owners have to agree to sell. You may want to explain to your ex that it is in her best interest to cooperate. That?s because if the lender sues for foreclosure, she will be sued as well, even though she is not obligated to repay the loan. That could negatively affect her credit. You may be able to take legal action against her, but the lawsuit may be difficult and expensive. It?s a good idea to have a written agreement in place before you own property with someone to whom you are not married.

Q: What happens when a homeowner stops paying the homeowner's association dues and other charges and continues to live in house? What recourse does the HOA have? Secondly, what happens when the property is sold? What money can be recovered by the association for the unpaid dues and assessments? ? Harriet

A: Almost every association has the ability to place a lien on the property for non-payment of dues and then can foreclose on that lien and take the home. When the property is sold, the homeowner will have to leave the property. The association, or whoever won the foreclosure auction, will be the new owner. However, the homeowner will still owe the lender the money from the mortgage loan and that lender can even foreclose the house out from under the association. If it does this, the owner will be credited the market value of the home but will still owe the lender for any deficiency. Also, if the bank forecloses while the former owner owes back association dues, the association can pursue the former owner personally for the money, even if the house now is owned by the bank. If it sues, it can get a judgment that would allow it to take other property and garnish wages.

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 22:14:30 -0700 How Much Risk is Necessary to Grow Your Business? | Article Outlet http://ucopyp.posterous.com/how-much-risk-is-necessary-to-grow-your-busin http://ucopyp.posterous.com/how-much-risk-is-necessary-to-grow-your-busin

How Much Risk is Necessary to Grow Your Business?

?by: Vishal P. Rao

A business owner is thoroughly responsible for their own financial survival and possibly the financial survival of their employees. Business owners, for the most part, seem to be risk takers, who really dont easily go with the flow. They are inventive and somewhat confident, as just having their own business does mandate that they possess these qualities.

However, the ability to live with risk is very much a personal issue. Some business owners can live with more risk than others and some can manage the risk better than others.

Having the ability to effectively manage risk is imperative for a successful business venture. Therefore business owners need to be able to effectively judge how much risk is acceptable and which business ventures are inherently too risky and therefore perhaps harmful to the business overall.

While all businesses must grow and change continually in order to survive, every time a business makes a decision to expand or increase its offerings, a modicum of risk does exist. Most businesses face risks when they incorporate new offerings into their current ones, take on new employees, when they change their marketing techniques sufficiently, or when they expand into new areas of business above and beyond the general core or parent business.

Each time a new project, venture or offering is added to a business, risk containment should be employed. It is never possible to eliminate all risks completely, but containing risks to an acceptable level will enhance the experience and keep the overall losses at an acceptable level, if failure of the new venture or offering does occur.

Business owners need to assess the risk using the following principles:

  1. Is this risk necessary for the further development of the business? If so, why?
  2. Is this risk attainable for the business? If so, why?
  3. Is this risk affordable for the business? If not, then it shouldnt be done. A strict, realistic assessment of funds available and a budget should be worked out before a business embarks on any type of expansion or addition to its present offerings.
  4. Is the timing right for the new addition or venture? Many times, if a business is experiencing a downward cycle or other financially stressful barriers, expansions or additions are best left for another period in the life of a business.

Many business owners make one of two serious mistakes: they either refuse to gamble at all, and dont therefore grow their business appropriately, or they gamble too much, exposing their business to such a high degree of risk that eventually the business finds itself in financial difficulties.

Example A: John has owned his own print shop for several decades, during which time he has enjoyed much success. The newest technologies, though, could increase Johns clientele and the speed at which he delivers his goods to existing clients. John, though, is thoroughly risk aversive, concerned about the expense of expenditures that would follow incorporation of the latest technologies, and therefore, John does not incorporate them. As a result, he has lost some existing clients and many times fails to add new ones, effectively hurting his bottom line.

Example B: Miriam owns her own real estate company and does very well with it, employing ten people. Miriam feels the need for new challenges however, and decides to buy several investment properties herself. The properties she buys are extremely expensive, and need much upkeep. In order to purchase them, Miriam borrows against her existing business, using that as collateral for the loans she must acquire. Within mere months, Miriam experiences several major repairs needed on each of the newly acquired buildings. She then must borrow yet again to afford these, and finds herself going deeper and deeper into debt. It becomes a struggle finally, to even hold onto the original business, as she now owes enormously to several creditors.

As you can see, John, is much too risk aversive, while Miriam failed to take into consideration the many difficulties that could occur with large-scale expansion of this sort. Neither is correct in their assessment or approach to risk management and each has hurt their own businesses as a result.

The old adage, Slow but steady, wins the race really applies significantly to business and appropriate risk management within a business. Business owners should plan thoroughly and weigh their risks completely before proceeding with any new venture or expansion. However, businesses also need planned growth throughout given periods.

Business owners need to use their judgment wisely at all times, and use it well, when considering appropriate risk management techniques.
