Online banking has been the fastest growing Internet activity in the U.S. over the last five years, with 53 million Americans, or 44 percent of all U.S. Internet users, now using some form of online banking service as of November 2004, according to a survey conducted by Pew Internet & American Life.
That current U.S. online banking population is more than 3.5 times the number of online bankers Pew measured in March 2000. At that time, only 14 million Americans (17 percent of U.S. Internet users) did banking chores online
The majority of spam mailings received around the world originates from the United States according to software company Sophos. In order to compile their list, company researchers monitored all spam messages that were sent to their network during 2004.
Topping this list was the United States, which is responsible for 42.11% of spam mailings received worldwide. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos, had these comments, "When we first reported on the top spamming countries back in February 2004, the USA had the excuse that the CAN-SPAM act had been in existence for a couple of months. Almost a year and millions of spam messages later, it is quite evident that that the CAN-SPAM legislation has made very little headway in damming the flood of spam."
According to Sophos, the top spam producing countries are as follows:
1.) United States - 42.11% 2.) South Korea - 13.43% 3.) China (incl Hong Kong) - 8.44% 4.) Canada - 5.71% 5.) Brazil - 3.34% 6.) Japan - 2.57% 7.) France - 1.37% 8.) Spain - 1.18% 9.) United Kingdom - 1.13% 10.) Germany - 1.03% 11.) Taiwan - 1.00% 12.) Mexico - 0.89% 13.) Others - 17.8%
Research analysts at eMarketer have created a list of the top 10 E-business trends for this year, and most of them define changes in how information is distributed. Near the top of the list is RSS, defined variously, such as Rich Site Summary and Real Simple Syndication....Also, wireless broadband service and content will find its legs, even as it challenges telecommunications companies to handle the heavy loads, senior analyst Noah Elkin says. Streaming video will bring television content. Whether there's consumer demand for this can't be known yet, but Elkin says telcos won't pass up another opportunity to keep buyers glued to their phones

A report released by VeriSign, highlighting key quarterly market data for domain name activity around the world, shows more than 4.7 million new domain names were registered during the first quarter of 2004-the highest quarterly figure for new domain registrations in the history of the Internet.

treatments for depression
Cymbalta offers relief for the emotional and physical symptoms associated with depression. It may help restore the balance of two naturally-occurring chemicals in the brain and body that experts believe are related to major depressive disorder. The Science Behind CymbaltaDepression may be caused by an imbalance of naturally-occurring chemicals, serotonin and norepinephrine, in the brain and the body. In the brain, these two chemicals are thought to be associated with mood. These same chemicals are thought to be associated with regulating and reducing feelings of pain that come from the body. If these chemicals are out of balance, the effect can be felt in both the brain and body. You can feel both the emotional and painful physical symptoms of depression.Many antidepressants target one chemical, serotonin. Cymbalta also targets a second chemical, norepinephrine. In clinical trials, Cymbalta was proven effective in treating depression, both its emotional and physical symptoms.Cymbalta is not a narcotic. You can also read the full Prescribing Information for details about Cymbalta.

There are hundreds of different businesses you can consider starting, and each has its own set of pros and cons. The biggest roadblock to starting or buying a business is that they require a considerable up-front cash investment. In addition to the large investment, the time commitment you must make when starting a business can ultimately turn out to be be far greater than what you have experienced in any job, and the return is not necessarily worth the extra time or the financial risk.
You could buy a franchise such as McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s, Subway, or Dominos Pizza, but you may find they have many BARRIERS TO ENTRY. You will need to make a large upfront cash investment (average start-up cost between supplies, location, etc - can fall between $400,000 to $1 million), and in the end, what you are really buying yourself is 90-hour-a-week job. You are going to be stuck in one location all the time, and you will have to be there everyday to oversee the operation. You are not going to increase your time freedom.
With a franchise, you are also going to be required to pay royalty fees for the life of your business. These fees are in addition to all of your operating expenses, and in many cases, they can prevent you from being profitable.
The following shows a few examples of franchises taken from Entrepreneur.com. Be sure to note the "net worth" and "cash liquidity" requirements which would prevent the majority of people from even considering this option:
Option - Traditional Brick & Mortar Business: In almost every case, if you buy yourself a traditional business, you are doing nothing more than buying yourself a job... only with more headaches. You assume all responsibility, and you must be there all the time to make sure that everything is running properly. There are numerous costs associated with operating a traditional business including inventory, rent, and of course, personnel. Administrative tasks take up a tremendous amount of time. The success of your business can be highly dependent on the state of economy, and you are also bound to one location. Long hours trapped in one location do not give you the freedom to spend more time with your family and friends or be able to take vacations, travel, and live a life of comfort and privilege. Costs are also a barrier to entry. Here are few examples of business that you can purchase - please note the limitations:

Do you believe you are led to the next step in your life? Are you willing to follow this one? I've noticed coincidences and serendipitous events in my life.

What is a realistic first year income? Realistic? I don't believe in realistic. Realistic people DO NOT become millionaires. I would much rather achieve UNREALISTIC results. Your first year potential is massive given you do EXACTLY what I say and follow the system. Why would you want to get started in a business if you couldn’t make a ton of money right out of the gate?
How do I know if this is "too good to be true"? In my opinion "too good to be true" would be if I was to tell you that everyone you talked to would be stuffing money through their phones!

Waiting four-years until your business clears a profit. You can be making money in days; It's up to you and your efforts. Overhead, hassle, of hiring staff or an expensive office.

Our system does all of the grunt work for you! But remember:

DON SHULA
BIOGRAPHY:
Examples from the game of football are often used to illustrate determination, overcoming adversity and long odds, competition, and success; and our everyday language is filled with gridiron metaphors and memorable quotes. It is only natural that Don Shula, the coach with more wins in professional football than any other, speaks about inspiring others to win. Using examples from the football field he reveals his secrets of successful coaching and how they apply to any leadership position, as well as personal success.
On January 5, 1996, Don Shula was named as Vice-Chairman of the Miami Dolphins, in addition to his status as a part owner of the team after serving as the team's Head Coach since 1970. Shula's record as head coach of the Dolphins (1970-1995) and before that as head coach of the Baltimore Colts (1963-1970) is unmatched in National Football League history. In 1995 he concluded his 33rd season as an NFL head coach and his 26th season as head coach of the Dolphins. He owns a career record of 347-173-6 (.665), and is the winningest coach in NFL history. In addition, Shula won Super Bowl titles in 1972 and 1973, one of only four coaches in NFL history to win consecutive Super Bowls, and his 1972 team went 17-0, recording the only undefeated season in NFL annals. He has appeared in more Super Bowls (six) than any other coach.
In addition to football responsibilities, Shula always has given considerable time, plus financial and emotional support, to many charities. The Don Shula Foundation, formed primarily to assist breast cancer research, was established as a tribute to his late wife, Dorothy. Shula also has been active in the American Red Cross, the United Way and Catholic Charities.
Because of his success on the football field and his long-time civic and charitable service, Shula has received countless prestigious awards recognizing his contributions including the 1993 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year Award, 1994 Horatio Alger Award, the Bert Bell Award, the Pete Rozelle Award and he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio on July 26, 1997. In addition, along with Ken Blanchard, in 1995 Shula co-authored "Everyone's A Coach," a highly acclaimed book that outlines the application of their managerial philosophies for business and personal success.
Today, Don's business interests include a hotel and golf course in the Miami area and a chain of restaurants including Shula's Steakhouse, Shula's Steak 2 and Shula's on the Beach.
