Carrier IQ unveils tool operators can use to open up about data collected from your phone

Carrier IQ

Carrier IQ cares. Or, rather, for Carrier IQ, it's all about care. The much-maligned California analytics company has weathered the Great Privacy Scandal of 2011 and today at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona announced a new product for its customers -- the operators -- to give greater transparency to consumers -- that's you and me -- regarding data being collected from your smartphones and tablets.

Android Central at Mobile World Congress Let's be clear here: You are not Carrier IQ's customer. It provides network and hardware analytics capabilities to companies that sell smartphones by the millions, not folks like you and me who buy them every year or so (or, in our case, more often). That's not to say that CIQ is deaf to the recent surge in the push for privacy. Far from it. And that's not to say it hasn't learned a thing or two since everybody started to care about on-board analytics. It most certainly has.

And that brings us to today's announcement.  

Carrier IQ

Dubbed the "Customer Experience Dashboard," CIQ will begin offering -- again, to operators, not to end-users directly -- tools that the operators can then use to show their users basic fault explanations. Is your phone's battery draining? Dropping a lot of calls? Constantly rebooting? CIQ's new tools would all the operator to better explain to you what's going on with your phone, as well as with the network it's on. CIQ would essentially provide APIs to the operators, who then could build into their own websites the ability to see exactly what's going on with your phone.

It's a twofold proposition. At its core, the idea is to place some of the customer care onus back onto the customer, specifically to cut down on customer care phone calls. In other words, to help you help yourself. That, in turn, saves the operator money. It's also a great opportunity for the operator to show exactly what sort of data it's harvesting from your phone. But -- and this is a pretty big "but" -- it's up to the operator to implement any or all of this. As with Carrier IQ's current suite of products, it's completely customizable to for each operator and platform. It doesn't (and probably wouldn't) look like what you see in the picture above. Operators would be free to customize and present as much data as it sees fit, and in whatever manner it sees fit. And as of right now, it's still completely optional (and in fact will raise the cost of the CIQ platform for the operator).

For our part, we believe that would be money well spent by the operators. As much as the operators need analytics, the end-users need greater transparency. And done right (there's always a catch, right?), the operators could conceivably kill two birds with one stone here: continue to learn about the devices it supports in a real-time manner, and do so in a way that doesn't scare the hell out of its users.

Dow 13,000: An inkblot test for the market

Big, round numbers are hard to ignore. That's why we pay attention when the odometer clicks over to 100,000 miles, and why the world threw a party at the dawn of 2000 instead of the technical start of the millennium in 2001.

It's no different on Wall Street. When the Dow Jones industrial average briefly crossed 13,000 last week, a milestone it hadn't reached since before the financial crisis, people took notice.

Some observers said it was a sign of a stronger U.S. economy. Casual investors wondered whether it was time to get back into stocks after fleeing to bonds or just stuffing their money under the mattress in the terrifying economic meltdown.

But a word of caution: 13,000 is just a number.

It gives politicians something to talk about. It gives regular people something to measure against. It can stir up excitement, but it doesn't change the elements of the economy, like the number of people out of work or the number of empty houses.

The Dow also isn't the best measure of the stock market. It follows 30 companies ? important ones, household names, but only 30. And it's weighted so just a handful of the most expensive stocks carry the most weight.

If Apple, whose stock has skyrocketed this year from $405 to $522, had been added to the Dow on Jan. 1, it would already be above 14,000, according to estimates last week from ConvergEx Execution Solutions.

And the Dow is certainly not the best measure of the economy. It can rise even when jobs are falling or the economy is shrinking.

"Psychologically it matters," says Dan McMahon, director of equity trading at Raymond James, who was underwhelmed by the Dow's short foray above 13,000 last week. "Technically and fundamentally, not so much."

It's the same mind game when people turn 40. They're only a day older, but it feels more significant. Retailers understand this trick, too. That's why they slap $99 on a price tag instead of $100. That one dollar feels like a lot.

For the Dow, "whether it's 12,999 or 13,000 is just arithmetic," says Mark Lehmann, president of JMP Securities in San Francisco.

Keep in mind also that the market is a fickle barometer. Some institutional investors, such as hedge funds or private-equity firms whose employees follow the market for a living, will consider the 13,000 mark a signal to get out, not in.

And 13,000 may not last. The fire-sale discounts for stocks appear to have come and gone. The companies that make up the Dow are trading at about 13.9 times their past year's earnings per share, a popular measure of how expensive stocks are.

Just last month, that figure was 13.2. At the Dow's low during the Great Recession, it was 8.2. So the Dow is approaching the average of about 16 over the past two decades, according to Birinyi Associates, a stock market research firm.

And though this sounds obvious, it can be hard to remember in the headline rush of 13,000: You want to buy stocks when prices are low. The stock market is perhaps the only place where shoppers rush in when prices go up.

"Human beings are pattern-seeking animals," said Brian Gendreau, market strategist at Cetera Financial Group. "We find patterns even when there are none."

The Dow has climbed back slowly since its 2009 low of 6,547.05, and its other milestones have also generated a frenzy of attention. But as motivations for investment, their record has been mixed:

  • On Oct. 14, 2009, about 10 years after the first time the Dow hit 10,000, the average hit the mark again. Traders passed around baseball caps labeled "Dow 10,000 2.0" on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Mutual funds didn't think the milestone was a good time to invest: They pulled $216 million out of U.S. stocks that day, according to TrimTabs Investment Research. A week later, the Dow was down about a half-percent. Three weeks after that, though, it was up 2.7 percent from its Oct. 14 close.
  • On April 12, 2010, the Dow crossed 11,000. This time, the Dow climbed in the following week, up 0.8 percent. Three weeks after that, it was down 2 percent.
  • On Feb. 1, 2011, the Dow crossed 12,000. A week later, it was up 1.6 percent. Three weeks after that, it was virtually flat.

Experts say investors should keep in mind that the surest way to profit in the stock market is to invest for the long term. Buying for just a week or a month at a time is a risky bet.

Beyond talk of milestones, there's also the question of whether the Dow is even an accurate measure of the economy. Besides being made up of just 30 companies, it's weighted so that the few with the highest stock prices carry the most heft.

So a small percentage change in the stock of IBM, which is trading around $198, sways the index much more than a large change in the stock of Bank of America, which is trading around $8.

Last year, the Dow rose 5.5 percent. But strip out IBM and McDonald's, the two stocks with the highest prices last year, and it rose just 1.8 percent, according to calculations by Birinyi.

Plenty of analysts say the Standard & Poor's 500, given its much broader list of companies, is a better measure of the market. While the Dow would need a 9 percent rally to reach its all-time high of 14,164.53, the S&P 500 is still 15 percent away.

Story: This may be the week stocks fall back to Earth

It did close Friday at 1,365.74, a 3 1/2-year high and about 200 points from its all-time high in October 2007.

"The Dow has only 30 members," says John Manley, chief equity strategist for the Wells Fargo funds group. "Sometimes their individual stories bury the message that the economy is trying to send us."

So in a way, it will be a bigger deal if the S&P breaks 1,400. But nobody makes baseball caps for that.

Sky actually falling, report scientists

A study of clouds over the last 10 years has found that their altitude has been declining, perhaps?offsetting?some global warming.?

The sky is falling? sort of. Over the last 10 years, the height of clouds has been shrinking, according to new research.

Skip to next paragraph

The time frame is short, but if future observations show that clouds are truly getting lower, it could have an important effect on?global climate change. Clouds that are lower in the atmosphere would allow Earth to cool more efficiently, potentially offsetting some of the warming caused by greenhouse gases.

"We don't know exactly what causes the cloud heights to lower," study researcher Roger Davies of the University of Auckland in New Zealand said in a statement. "But it must be due to a change in the circulation patterns that give rise to?cloud formation?at high altitude."

Clouds are a wildcard?in understanding Earth's climate. Ephemeral as they are, they're difficult to track over time, and factors such as height and location make a big difference in whether clouds will slow the effects of global warming or exacerbate them. And no one fully understands how clouds will respond to a warming climate. [Album: Reading the Clouds]

For a decade, however, the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer on NASA's Terra spacecraft has been watching Earth's clouds. Now, Davies and his colleagues have analyzed the device's first 10 years of cloud-top height measurements from March 2000 to February 2010. They found that global average cloud height decreased by around 1 percent over the decade, a distance of 100 to 130 feet (30 to 40 meters). Most of the reduction stemmed from fewer clouds forming at very high altitudes.

The researchers reported their results in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The Terra satellite is set to continue collecting data through the rest of this decade, which will help determine whether or not the cloud lowering is a consistent trend.

margaretgerling4: Amberen Elements - Womens Interests ...

Amberen is really a natural treatment for menopause and several women are appropriately worried about the elements. In the following paragraphs I?ll investigate what adopts Amberen and whether it?s safe for consumption.

Amberen states solve menopause signs and symptoms by enhancing communication between your brain and also the hormone creating organs but exactly how will it do that? To begin with, you should observe that you will find no the body?s hormones of any sort in Amberen and delay pills work very in a different way to HRT. Instead of attempting to replace the the body?s hormones it tries to help the body adapt to the alterations it?s going through.

Amberen is mainly comprised of succinate salts, particularly ammonium succinate, calcium disuccinate and magnesium disuccinate. They are naturally found and don?t pose any significant long-term risk. In addition, you will find numerous herbal treatments that have been employed for centuries to lessen inflammation together with essential vitamins to assist in the transition process.

Getting stated this, could it be safe? The response to this really is yes, aside from a little minority of cases. It?s worth considering that Amberen consists of small quantities of Monosodium glutamate which, such small amounts, functions like a natural chemical to assist the mind adapt to menopause more quickly. A small amount of women, however, can be quite responsive to Monosodium glutamate which means you need Amberen before you purchase.

To conclude, the elements present in Amberen are secure and also the product continues to be authorized by the Food and drug administration. However, I suggest that you opt for the disposable trial because you will then have the ability to find out if it matches your needs and uncover for those who have any responses towards the elements.

Town Talk: Manchester-based breast cancer group changes name ...

Know Breast Cancer, a national group based in Manchester that teaches women ways to help prevent the disease before it starts has changed its name.

The 5-year-old nonprofit organization is now Busting Breast Cancer, www.bustingbreastcancer.org, lead by Susan Wadia-Ells, a Manchester resident.

Besides focusing on prevention, the group also tries to translate existing research behind known, probable and possible lifestyle causes of this disease, into everyday language, and is becoming known for its ?3 Easy Ways? to help women eliminate the risks of developing an invasive breast cancer diagnosis.

The group advocates for the controversial step of using safe outdoor and indoor year-round tanning to raise vitamin D3 blood serum levels to 60-80 ng/ml.

Busting Breast Cancer joins the Silent Spring Institute, the Breast Cancer Fund and the Collaborative on Health and the Environment as a national organization that is 100 percent focused on helping stop breast cancer before it can get started, Wadia-Ells said.

This year the group is publishing a guide by Wadia-Ells that will guide women to adopt seven healthy, inexpensive, easy and yet highly significant ways to help stop breast cancer before it can take root in one?s body ? ever or never again.

Oil at 5-week high above $102 a barrel (AP)

NEW YORK ? Tensions between Iran and the West continued to weigh on energy markets as oil rose to the highest level in five weeks on Thursday.

Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude rose 45 cents to $102.24 in New York, while Brent crude, which is used to price foreign oil imported by U.S. refineries, rose $1.08 to $120.01 in London.

The price of WTI has risen about more than 3 percent since the start of the year. The increase in Brent has been even steeper, up nearly 12 percent.

Iran has been the center of attention in the Middle East ? and the oil market ? since November. It has threatened to cut off oil supplies to Europe to retaliate for an embargo that the EU plans to implement this summer.

The U.S. and Europe are using sanctions to pressure Iran to abandon its nuclear program, which they fear will be used to develop a bomb. Iran denies the claim. The European Union buys about 18 percent of Iran's total crude exports.

Iran relies on oil exports for about half of its revenue. Iran state media reported Wednesday that Iran would halt exports to six European countries. Iran's Foreign Ministry later denies that.

Analysts think Iran would hurt itself by stopping crude shipments.

"Given Iran's dependence on its oil revenues and the latest reports of its payment difficulties, an immediate ban on shipments is not overly credible," said a report from analysts at Commerzbank in Frankfurt. "At current prices, a ban on oil shipments would thus cost Iran around $70 million in daily oil revenues if no other buyers could be found."

The weather in Europe is keeping oil prices high as well, especially for Brent. A severe cold snap is pushing up demand for energy. The rise in Brent in turn contributes to high gasoline prices in the U.S., since many refineries use Brent to make gasoline.

Also Thursday there were more signs that the U.S. economy is recovering. The Labor Department said weekly applications for jobless benefits fell for the fourth time in five weeks to the lowest point since March 2008. While lower unemployment may be good news, it's also likely to increase demand for oil and push up prices.

Oil prices spiked at this time last year with uprisings in several Middle East nations, particularly Libya. Investors who worried about major disruptions in supplies bought oil and drove up the price. WTI is up 21 percent from a year ago, when it sold for around $85 a barrel. Brent is up about 15 percent.

In other energy trading Thursday, heating oil rose almost a penny to $3.20 per gallon and gasoline futures rose 4 cents to $3.04 per gallon.

Natural gas rose 15 cents, or 6 percent, to $2.57 per 1,000 cubic feet after the Energy Department reported the nation's gas supplies fell more than analysts expected last week.

At the pump, the national average for gasoline was unchanged at $3.52 a gallon.

White House threatens veto of GOP's highway bill (AP)

WASHINGTON ? The White House is threatening to veto House Republican legislation to boost spending on roads and bridges, saying the bill doesn't spend enough to strengthen the nation's transportation system and weakens environmental and labor standards.

President Barack Obama's Office of Management and Budget issued the veto threat Tuesday.

Among the White House objections are that the House bill would mandate that a permit be granted for an oil pipeline from Canada to Texas. The Obama administration denied the permit last month but left the door open for an application for a new pipeline route.

The White House says the bill also eliminates transit programs that help metropolitan areas reduce congestion.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

After years of procrastination, the White House and Congress have suddenly boosted a long-term plan to improve the nation's roads, bridges and transit systems to the top of the political agenda.

This week, the House and Senate are set to take up vastly different bills providing a blueprint for shoring up the nation's aging transportation system. Lawmakers are driven in part by a desire to show voters a major accomplishment in an election year when regard for Congress is at rock bottom. They are pitching the bills as jobs generators, although it may be more accurate to say they preserve jobs that might otherwise be lost if Congress doesn't find a way to keep highway and transit programs solvent.

President Barack Obama chimed in Monday with his own plan to spend nearly half a trillion dollars over six years on transportation infrastructure. But the president's plan is much grander than anything Congress is likely to go along with that the administration has swung its weight behind the Senate bill, a bipartisan plan that more modestly proposes to spend $109 billion over less than two years.

House Republicans have proposed spending about $260 billion over nearly five years, but the bill is drawing fire from so many quarters that the ability of Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to muscle the measure through to passage is in doubt. To build support with tight-fisted tea partiers for such a large spending bill, GOP leaders added sweeteners designed to appeal to conservatives, such as expanded offshore oil and gas drilling, approval of the controversial Keystone pipeline and a requirement that federal employees pay more toward their pensions.

The bill's treatment of mass transit programs has riled urban lawmakers, including New York and Chicago metro-area Republicans who may wind up voting against the bill. It eliminates the guarantee of a portion of federal gasoline and diesel tax revenues for transit, leaving programs vulnerable to future budget cuts.

"If you are a Republican from a city that has mass transit, how can you vote for this and go home?" said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., who is sponsoring an amendment to restore a portion of fuel tax revenues for transit. Seven Republicans have co-sponsored the amendment.

And six GOP lawmakers have sent a letter to Boehner and other GOP leaders saying the transportation bill will stand a better chance of passage if provisions opening leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to oil drilling are dropped. The provisions, which include opening the East and West coasts and portions of the Florida Gulf Coast, as well as ANWR, to drilling, are supposed to help pay for transportation programs. But the Congressional Budget Office estimates they would raise less than $5 billion over 10 years for the federal government.

"Opening ANWR to drilling as a means to pay for the transportation bill is neither reasonable nor realistic," said Rep. Charles Bass, R-N.H., author of the letter.

The bill also eliminates locally popular federal programs that help underwrite bike paths, bike lanes and pedestrian safety projects, including the Safe Routes to School program, in order to concentrate funding on highways.

"The House bill takes us back to the dark ages," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, a former Republican congressman, told reporters Monday. He said he doesn't expect any Democrats to vote for the bill.

"I hope there will be lots of opportunities to amend it," LaHood said, to increase funding for transit and other needs. "Without amendments, this bill isn't going to pass."

But Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and co-author of a major portion of the bill, said he is "fairly confident" based on his discussions with GOP lawmakers that the bill can pass.

"This is going to be the No. 1 job creator and economic generator bill of this entire session (of Congress)," he said. "I think members will rally behind what may be their last chance of getting jobs and a responsible blueprint for dealing with our crumbling infrastructure."

There will be changes made to the bill through a leadership-backed amendment that will address GOP members' concerns, Mica said.

"The bill isn't done," he said. "The final bill will be something conservatives can be very proud of because it has dramatic reforms and measures that people have called for for years."

But House leaders are being squeezed from both sides. If they give too much ground they risk losing support on the right. The Club for Growth, a free-market, anti-tax group influential with fiscal conservatives, and the political arm of the conservative Heritage Foundation have objected to both the House and the Senate bills. Conservatives say the bills spend too much money and transportation programs should be paid for using only fuel tax revenue. Democrats and moderate Republicans, meanwhile, oppose sharp cuts to popular programs.

GOP leaders said Tuesday they intend to divide the transportation bill into three bills. Their strategy is to allow lawmakers who oppose the transit changes or oil drilling provisions to vote again those portions, while still supporting the heart of the bill. Afterward, the House clerk will stitch the three bills together.

Floor debate could begin on the House bill as soon as Wednesday, with a final vote expected Friday. Lawmakers had filed 293 amendment requests with the House Rules Committee by Monday's 11 a.m. deadline. The committee decides which amendments can be offered during debate.

Debate began on the Senate bill late last week with a strongly bipartisan procedural vote of 85-11, and is continuing this week. The bill is co-authored by Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and James Inhofe, R-Okla., ideological opposites who have managed to overcome substantial disagreement in an effort to pass a bill.

But Democrats, who control the Senate, have struggled to come up with the money to pay for the plan. Several GOP senators have signaled that their support for the bill could turn to opposition if changes aren't made to satisfy their fiscal concerns.

Like the House, the Senate has been hampered by a shortfall between current spending levels and fuel tax revenues, which are the main source of funding for transportation programs. Reductions in driving due to the economy as well as more fuel-efficient vehicles have lowered tax revenues. The budget office projects the trust fund that pays for highway and transit programs will go broke sometime in the 2013 federal budget year.

Without an infusion of cash from somewhere, the Transportation Department could be forced to slow down reimbursements to states for highway construction and other transportation projects. That, in turn, could lead to thousands of lost jobs.

Lawmakers could resolve much of their money woes by increasing the 18.4 cent-a-gallon gas tax and the 24.4 cent-a-gallon diesel tax, but that's politically unpalatable in an economy where unemployment remains high and many Americans feel financially insecure.

Indecision about how to shore up the Highway Trust Fund has long stymied efforts to pass a transportation plan. The last long-term plan expired in 2009. Congress has kept programs going through a series of eight short-term extensions. The current extension expires March 31.

Why California Almonds Need North Dakota Flowers (And A Few Billion Bees)

Almond trees rely on bees to pollinate during their brief bloom for a few weeks in February.

Winfried Rothermel/APN

Almond trees rely on bees to pollinate during their brief bloom for a few weeks in February.

This is one of those stories that reminds us that everything really is connected to everything else.

Here's the web of connections: a threat to California's booming almond business; hard times for honeybees in North Dakota; and high corn prices.

Confused?

OK, let's start with the almonds. They come from an old-world tree that migrated to California and prospered in the hands of farmers like James McFarlane, who lives right outside the city of Clovis.

"When I was a boy, they used to talk about how California's crop rivaled Spain's," says McFarlane. "Well, California crop left Spain's in the dust and didn't even look back."

In fact, it's one of the great success stories of California agriculture. Twenty years ago, the state produced a modest half-billion pounds of almonds each year. "We hit a billion pounds and it just never stopped. This past year it's the better part of 2 billion pounds," says McFarlane. The Central Valley of California actually grows two-thirds of all the almonds in the world.

But here's where we get into all those not-so-obvious connections. These superproductive almond trees are needy creatures. They need lots of water and fertilizer. And they also need big, vigorous insects to carry pollen from one blossom to another.

?

They need honeybees ? billions of honeybees. And those bees have to come from somewhere else. That's why California's almond orchards have become "ground zero in commercial beekeeping," says Zac Browning, a beekeeper.

I met Browning in the middle of a huge almond orchard near the tiny town of Snelling, Calif. His beehives ? 6,000 of them ? were lined up as far as I could see along a dirt road down the middle of the ranch. The hives had just arrived from a storage building in Idaho where they'd spent the winter. They were carted in on a caravan of trailers with 480 white wooden boxes per load.

This was just a small part of a great national bee migration that connects California to the northern Plains. During the few weeks this month when the almond trees are in bloom, 1.6 million beehives flood the state's almond orchards, many of them trucked in from the Midwest.

"The almond bloom is one of those events that is big enough that all the bees ? in fact, the majority of the bees in the country ? can all be engaged and prospering," says Browning. He and his fellow beekeepers now earn as much money renting their bees to pollinate almonds as they do selling honey.

But the bees can't stay in the almond orchards. In a few weeks, they'll have to move on, "because just as quickly as it arrived, the bloom is over and we're back to desert here," says Browning. "And we have to find our sanctuaries for these bees."

To survive, and certainly to produce honey, bees need food. They need landscapes with plenty of flowers and nectar. But those simple things are surprisingly hard to find in modern America.

"We're limited to the fringes of rural America, where we can stay away from pesticides, where we can find wildflowers," says Browning.

So Browning and many other beekeepers pack up their colonies and drive to the northern Plains. In particular, they drive to North Dakota.

It's one of the few places where thousands of colonies of bees have been able to graze happily. A big reason is a government program, the Conservation Reserve Program, which has been especially popular in North Dakota. Under this program, the federal government rents land from farmers and sets it aside, taking it out of crop production to conserve the soil, save water, and support wildlife.

Flowers bloom on that land ? alfalfa, clover or wildflowers ? all summer long. It's just what bees need.

But that floral feast is shrinking. This is where those high corn prices come into the story. Farmers who used to put their land into the conservation reserve are having second thoughts. Corn is more profitable.

"The landscape is changing," says Ned "Chip" Euliss, who lives in Jamestown, N.D., and works for the U.S. Geological Survey. "When I first came here, 20 years ago, it was rare to see a cornfield in North Dakota. Now, they're very common."

The amount of North Dakota land in the Conservation Reserve, meanwhile, has declined by a third over the past five years. This year, it's expected to take another plunge, perhaps down to half what it was at its peak.

Beekeepers are telling Euliss that they're worried, that these changes are bad for bees. And Euliss, together with a group of other scientists from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the University of Minnesota, is trying to measure the impact of those changes. They're monitoring dozens of different colonies to see whether bees that now spend their summers near cornfields stay as healthy as bees that get to graze on conservation reserve land.

Bees, of course, have been having lots of disease problems in recent years. For Zac Browning, who's the fourth generation of Browning beekeepers, the shrinking sanctuaries in the Dakotas, coming on top of his other problems, feels like a kind of personal crisis.

"This is my livelihood. It's also my birthright," he says, as we drive away from the orchard. "I really believe that we need to be able to pass this business, this passion, on to the next generations. And if we don't stand up now, I don't think we'll be able to pass anything on."

If there's one small bit of hope, it's the fact that this is not just a beekeeper's problem anymore. Browning and his bees are getting a lot more attention these days, because the prosperity of almond growers also depends on what happens to bees on the lonely northern Plains.

Vanguard News: ?if these Marines apologize profusely and beg ...

Mikey, Not surprisingly the Vanguard Neo-Nazi website forum picked up on the Marines/Nazi flag story and they mention you, and include a picture of you giving an interview to Russia Today.

http://wwww.vnnforum.com/showthread.php?p=1360708

Well, if these Marines apologize profusely and beg forgiveness to the supremacist kikes for their outrageous and insensitive afront to them, posing with, and using a flag that stands for ?Scout Snipers? that resembles an insignia once used by truly manly men, then perhaps, they shouldn?t be dishonorably discharged from that military organization that jews are loathe to join.

it is a bit confusing. Seeing the jewbots, fighting for Israel, with an SS flag.

I really can?t understand what the confusion is all about. We are fighting wars for Israel/Jews/Mossad and the military can?t urinate, can?t display a SS flag, but the military can sure kill innocent men, women, and children and it?s not considered deplorable. However, urinating on dead bodies and showing a SS flag is an abomination! No, absolutely not! There?s no confusion at all when we have jews like ?Mikey? Weinstein or male jews named ?Sharon? that are either children?s names or feminine names in our midsts. This sort of thing is not deplorable or an abomination at all.

Do You Want To Make An Extra $1000 Per Month Or More By ...

Paid Surveys ? Do You Want To Make An Extra $1,000 Per Month Or More By Sharing Your Opinion?

Online paid surveys are an easy way to make some money online in your spare time. Everyone has an opinion, so why not get paid for it? Companies want your opinion on a variety of things that can help their business. They need your opinion to get some idea of market demand before they develop and market their products and also need consumers to test their products once they are in the market.

Although you won?t get rich doing this, some people make a nice living by participating in paid surveys.

On this page, you will learn:

  • How Paid Surveys Programs Work
  • What You Can Expect To Earn
  • How To Sign Up To Receive Surveys
  • Our Recommended Survey Companies
  • Survey Databases
  • Tips On How To Make the Best Out of These Opportunities

How Do Paid Survey Programs Work?

Companies spend a lot of money promoting their products and services. While much of their money goes toward advertising, a portion of their money goes toward market research. Companies want to know how people think and shop, and why they buy certain products and services. They need important consumer information before they spend thousands of dollars advertising their product/service. Companies also need people to test their products once they are in the market.

So these corporations pay market research companies to carry out this research for them. These companies have come to realize that instead of paying employees to call and bug you at home, they can save this money and instead reward consumers who share their opinions on the internet. Market research is a very important aspect of business and this forms a very nice opportunity for people to get paid to share their opinions.

For example, if you join a market research company such as SurveySavvy, you would be placed on their panel. Whenever they have a survey for you they would invite you ? via email ? to take the survey if you wish. There are hundreds of paid survey companies that will pay you to take their surveys.

How Much Money Can I Earn With Paid Surveys?

How much money you can earn depends on how much the sponsoring company is willing to pay for any particular survey. Usually, longer paid surveys offer greater rewards. Surveys can range from $5 to $75 each, sometimes more.

Shorter surveys take 5-10 minutes of your time, while some longer surveys can take 30 minutes to an hour. My first survey from SurveySavvy took only about 15 minutes and I was paid $20 for that. Not bad. But you won?t receive something like that all the time.

?SurveySavvy is one of the best survey companies out there. I highly recommend joining them. They offer cash surveys only, which can range from $3-75 each and I have found that their payments are always prompt. Sign up your friends and you can make money every time they take paid surveys as well. And as a bonus, a total of 50 active SurveySavvy members are randomly chosen to receive $10 every month.

You can also choose to receive telephone surveys from companies (completely optional). A telephone survey can pay as much as $120 for one hour.

Market research companies offer a variety of incentives for taking their surveys. Some companies offer only cash, while others offer only prizes or sweepstakes drawings. Most companies offer both ? what they offer for any particular survey depends on what the sponsoring corporation is offering at that time.

Ultimately, how much money you make all depends on how much time and effort you put into it. My best advice is to join as many companies as possible to get the maximum number of survey invitations. It is also a good idea to join paid survey companies that send out surveys frequently, such as NFO MySurvey and Memolink.

How Do I Sign Up To Receive Online Paid Surveys?

There are hundreds of market research companies (consumer panels) that you can sign up for in order to receive surveys. Registering with these market research companies is always free. If they want to charge you money, don?t join. Legitimate market research companies will never charge you to take surveys.

While there are hundreds of legitimate survey companies, there are also many scams out there. Some charge you money to join, while others waste your time by not rewarding you at all. There are even those who pose as market research companies but just try to sell their own products and services.

So how do you determine which companies are for real and which are scams?

I?ve been searching the internet and found many legitimate companies that want to pay you for your opinion?

Paid Survey (Market Research) Companies


Very Important: When you join several companies, you will start to receive a lot of e-mail from them (survey invitations). Therefore, I recommend setting up a separate e-mail account in order to prevent mixing up your survey invitations with your other e-mail.

There are plenty of free, web-based e-mail services you can use.



My favorite company is SurveySavvy. Unlike other companies, SurveySavvy pays cash only ? no point system here. They pay $3-75 for every survey you complete. They also have a lucrative referral program so if you can even more money whenever your friends take surveys too. If there?s only one paid survey company you join, make it SurveySavvy.

NFO MySurvey is another great company. they pay in points that you can redeem for cash and other rewards such as raffle tickets and charity donations. NFO MySurvey sends surveys frequently.

NPD Online Research is a company that rewards you with sweepstakes and prizes.

Memolink is a very large online reward program that offers points for a variety of activities such as taking surveys and shopping. You can redeem those points for products in several categories: books, department stores, electronics, gifts, movies, music, travel, supermarkets, restaurants, and more. You can also simply redeem for cold hard cash or even donate to your favorite charity.

Quality Health offers health-related surveys as well as free samples, coupons, and more.

Synovate is another good consumer panel that offers paid surveys.

Product Test Panel offers you a chance to test new products and keep them for free. All new members are guaranteed at least three product tests within the first 90 days of membership.

Opinion Outpost rewards you with points that you can redeem for cash and prizes.

LightSpeed Panel pays in points that you can redeem for cash and other rewards. This is a very good program because they send surveys very frequently.

American Consumer Opinion pays you anywhere from $4 to $50 for each survey you take. They occasionally invite panel members to optional telephone and mail surveys.

Global Test Market is yet another program that rewards you in points that you can redeem for cash.

Paid Survey Databases

If you are really serious about making an income stream with surveys then it?s a good idea to register with as many consumer panels as you can. Instead of searching the internet on their own, many people prefer to join a survey database which lists hundreds of companies willing to pay you for your opinion. Although it is free to join market research companies, joining a database may cost you a little money. Survey Club is a free database that lists 25 paid survey companies. Free databases like these are nice to start off with.
If you want a list of over 400 market research companies, however, you will want to go with a paid database like SurveyScout. Not only does SurveyScout offer a frequently updated list of over 400 companies that are willing to pay for your opinion, they also list other online opportunities such as paid e-mails, mystery shopping jobs, and several other things you may want to try out. The cost is very reasonable and I think it?s a great way to make some serious money with paid surveys.

Paid Survey Tips

  • Use a separate e-mail address for your paid surveys. There are plenty of free, web-based e-mail services you can use. Click here for a list of e-mail services.
  • How much you earn depends on the time and effort you put into it. If your goal is a part-time extra income, sign up with about 10 or so paid survey companies. If you want to make a full-time income with paid surveys, register with at least 200 companies and you should soon receive more surveys than you can handle! Joining a survey database like SurveyScout can really help. Every survey is optional, of course. You?re the boss.
  • Use the free software Roboform to fill out registration forms automatically. Roboform saves you a lot of typing ? contains NO advertising or spyware.
  • In the beginning, you will receive ?screener surveys.? These are generally not paid surveys but they help the market research companies determine what kind of surveys to send you in the future. I recommend filling out these short, screener surveys ? they allow the companies to send you relevant paid surveys and also show them that you are serious about taking online surveys.
  • In the members? areas of some of these paid survey companies, they give you the opportunity to fill out various profiles (examples: Health profile, Automobile profile, etc.). I recommend filling out as many profiles as you can so that the companies can send you the right type of surveys.
  • You will not qualify for every survey. Filling out the profiles and screener surveys will help you qualify for more surveys.
  • Always be honest when you answer survey questions. Everyone has an equal chance of making money, everyone will qualify for some surveys, and no one will qualify all the time.
  • Although currently many survey opportunities are for people who live in the United States and Canada, more and more market research firms are looking for international consumers to offer their opinions. There are survey opportunities for virtually everyone.

The FSBO Myth ? Rochester Real Estate Expert

Post

In Uncategorized on February 9, 2012 by svindigni

Real estate transactions can be tricky. The widespread myth that selling real estate is easy has lured many home sellers into making expensive mistakes by trying (and failing) to sell their own home.

Many people assume that all you need is a sales contract, a classified ad and a ?For Sale? sign. But even the most basic step ? setting the correct sale price ? depends on a number of factors. The location, size and condition of your home, the relationship between the local supply of homes and the number of qualified buyers, and the recent selling prices of comparable homes in your neighborhood all affect the market value of your property. Homeowners who sell without a professional realtor often misread the local market and overprice the home.

Sellers might also mishandle contingencies, home inspections, title clearance, deadlines and disclosures. The advice and guidance of an experienced real estate agent is essential to ensure that you avoid the risk of expensive litigation and ensure a successful home sale.
