Top Internet Home Businesses

It is quite obvious that once you look at the sentence above you can find it almost anywhere in online classified ads. Where has honest reviews about top home Internet business opportunities gone to? The answer is that they have gone with the honest marketers along. You can have a winning battle when you arm yourself with the right knowledge about the top 5 choices of these businesses types.Top Choice #5: Selling Physical Items OnlineYou could always choose to sell items you don't need from home such as your mobile phone or just getting old furniture to be auctioned online. This can be easily achieved by joining an auction network like eBay or perhaps other auction bid programs. Your advantage is you don't need to do any paperwork. Just digital communications.Top Choice #4: Starting Your Own Service PortalOne of the top home Internet business available today is the abundance of service portals. This is like a website which has a directory of say "rental properties available" in your local area. The person placing their properties advertisement in the website has to pay the site administrator for the directory listing service. You can start one if you know a demand in your local county.Top Choice #3: Starting A Blog To Earn From AdSenseYou could certainly earn a decent amount of money with Google Adsense. An advertising campaign which pays you if a visitor clicks on your Google advertisements on your blog. This requires a serious follow up on your keyword research activities. A favorite top home Internet business for those who have zero budget to start.Top Choice #2: Be An Affiliate Marketer Of A CompanyThere are many choices for you in this category such as an affiliate for e-books or namely the more famous ClickBank affiliate network. Though you still need to master some online marketing skills to make a decent living, it can be very rewarding because you carry no inventory.Top Choice #1: Direct Marketing Affiliate ProgramThis is getting to be more and more of a trend today. Even network marketing companies will probably mimic this type of system in the near future. You can be sure that this is the top home Internet business because of the instant payout structure. Its best when you even market digital products as there are no physical products involved.

Internet Marketing Business

Running your own Internet Marketing business is really the best way to make money in the world. You get to set your own hours. You can work from almost anywhere in the world. All of your efforts go towards YOUR business and YOUR success, rather than a large corporation´s. You write your own paycheck. And I don´t know of any business in the world where the start-up costs are so low (often as low as the cost of a monthly website fee), or the knowledge barrier is so small (in other trades, it can take YEARS to learn the basics).The "problem" (and I only say it´s a problem because it seems to discourage so many people) is that you have to treat your business like a business. Anyone can make a few dollars here and there online. But to get the kind of thousands-of-dollars-a-month success that lets you quit your day job and buy a bigger house, you´re going to have to put in some work upfront.To illustrate what I´m talking about, let´s look at a normal job: you go to work for a specified number of hours, and get paid a certain amount for those hours. If you´re salaried, you get a certain amount per month or year no matter how much you work. Hopefully, if you do a good job you get a raise. In either case, you´re guaranteed to make a certain amount within a specified time-frame.With an Internet marketing business (as with any business) you have to do some things upfront: you have to set up a website and a few other tools, you have to promote your site or service, etc. This can take a bit of time before you see profits. The reason an Internet marketing business is the way to go is because (if you´re doing things correctly) when you DO see the profit, you´re going to be seeing a lot more of it. And because everything is semi-automated (the order-taking, often the delivery of goods, etc.) your business requires a LOT less time later on to sustain than an hourly job.

Internet Home business

Internet Home business
Usually, any Internet home business is not going to make any money right away. It will take time and effort to build up your new business before it will be at all profitable. Regardless of what internet marketers may tell you, you will not be making thousands a week with any Internet home business. Usually those marketers are trying to lure you into their program, that’s why they promise so muchThere are several options for working at home, and an Internet home business is one of them. The first step will be to decide if you are even capable of working at home on your own. Are you able to set a work schedule for yourself and more importantly, are you able to stick to that schedule? If you need someone telling you what to do and handing you projects throughout the day, working with your own Internet home business may not be the best answer for you...

Making money online

Online money

Online money
It really isn't that difficult to make money fast online, you just need to thoroughly understand the World Wide Web and how it works.One of the things that you will need to understand very well to make money fast is how to market whatever it is that you are selling online. Online marketing is very different from offline advertising. Just to give one example; offline, display advertisements give you the better response, the more beautiful and colorful the better. Online banner ads don't yield much of a response. The most effective ads tend to be text ads and small text links. Hence the amazing phenomenal success of the Google Adsense affiliate program. Adsense ads are mostly tiny text things that appear on the side at a site...

Parttime jobs

Parttime jobs
When it comes to starting a home based business enterprise that will be operated online, you need to come to an understanding that there are different online business models that you can follow. In other words, when it comes to starting, developing and managing a home based business enterprise that will be operated on the Internet and World Wide Web; you need to understand that one size does not fit all....

Work from home

Work from home
Online Home Business - This is one of the top rip-offs on the Internet. You send money in exchange for information about starting a home business. They promise to provide you with all the training and materials you need. Instead, you get a useless guide about data entry, word processing or other related work. Sometimes the company sends you a disk with free government web sites or other home business opportunities that require more money...

Flora Stone Mather Alumnae Association Announces Challenge Campaign Leadership

President Barbara Snyder addressed over fifty Flora Stone Mather alumnae and Case Western Reserve University friends at Alumni House during a February 22 luncheon to celebrate the future of the Flora Stone Mather Center for Women.

She lauded the center as an essential university program that "came to be through the work of a small group of individuals passionately committed to a cause" and that highlights "the progress possible when people come together with a common aim."

Consistent with this theme, the event served as the public announcement of the volunteer leadership of the $1 million challenge campaign initiated by the Flora Stone Mather Alumnae Association last May. The challenge will allow the center to expand and deepen its mission to improve the educational, professional, and social climate and to increase opportunities for women within the university and the community through education, advocacy, and research.

A three-person Campaign Committee, which will oversee the entire fundraising effort, includes Campaign National Chairwoman Susie Gharib (FSM '72); Campaign Chairwoman MaryAnn Jorgenson (LAW '75); and Campaign General Chairwoman Patricia B. Kilpatrick (FSM'49, GRS'51).

Their work will be supported by the Executive Committee, chaired by Kilpatrick. Members are Barbara Collins, Lynne Alfred Hanson, Dorothy Miller, Deborah Nash, Gary Pillar, Susan Troia, and Sandra Vodanoff. A Steering Committee comprised of a select group of Flora Stone Mather alumnae and members of the center's Advisory Board has also been convened to support the fundraising effort.

Campaign General Chairwoman Patricia Kilpatrick commented on her excitement about the early success of the campaign, which has already raised nearly $200,000: "We are tremendously pleased to see so many supporters coming forward. In addition to Flora Stone Mather Alumnae, members of the center's advisory board have been extremely enthusiastic about the effort and are sharing the good news of the campaign with an ever-widening base of supporters."

Campaign National Chairwoman Susie Gharib was the scheduled speaker for the luncheon but was forced to cancel due to a weather-related delay. She is widely known as the award-winning New York-based anchor of PBS's Nightly Business Report. Gharib's sister, Simin Naraghipour FSM '69, attended the event with their mother, and made brief remarks in support of the campaign.

President Snyder read excerpts from Gharib's intended talk, which made a connection between the mission of Flora Stone Mather and the mission of the women's center that bears her name.

"The University needs a place where women of all ages and all colors can go to shed the impediments—cultural, social, or gender-based—that may prevent them from being who they truly are and accomplishing what they truly want to do," Snyder quoted Gharib. "The Flora Stone Mather Center for Women is a vital resource to help 21st Century students face the demands of today's lifestyles and workplaces."

The Flora Stone Mather Alumnae Association Challenge will support that vital resource for generations to come. The association will match every dollar raised before May 10, 2011, up to the $1 million total.

Estate Gift Will Be Part of Class of '58 Fiftieth Reunion Class Gift

Sanford R. Weiss, M.D. (ADL ’55, MED ’58) has given a $1.9 million charitable remainder annuity trust to the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine to support scholarships and commemorate his 50th reunion.

Weiss, who died on March 7, 2008, established the scholarship to support students on the basis of financial need who are interested in pursuing a career in colon and rectal surgery or neurosurgery and/or medical students who are disabled or who have chronic illness.

The scholarship reflects Weiss’s own struggle to complete his education and medical training while battling chronic illness. During his undergraduate studies at Harvard, he was forced to return to his hometown of Cleveland for experimental colon surgery at Cleveland Clinic. Even after completing his residency in New York and establishing a practice in San Francisco, Weiss was plagued by chronic abdominal illnesses that caused frequent hospitalization and travel back to the Clinic.

In spite of these challenges, Weiss served the medical profession with distinction. In addition to his private practice, he was chief surgeon at the San Leandro Memorial hospital and associate professor of neurological surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. He was a fellow in the American College of Surgeons and a member of Cleveland Clinic’s Digestive Disease Center Leadership Board.

Weiss was also determined to make the most of his early retirement and intermittent bouts of good health. An avid scuba diver, white-water rafter, and hiker, he traveled to Turkey, Morocco, India, Australia, Antarctica, Africa, and Asia.

Throughout his life, Weiss served as a model to others. “Sandy was clearly one of the most brilliant students in our class,” recalls friend and classmate, 2008 School of Medicine reunion chair, and co-chair of the 50th reunion, Richard B. Fratianne, M.D. “It was also the consensus of his classmates that he was a genuinely outstanding person.”

Weiss’s leadership gift also serves as a model of philanthropy for others, encouraging all alumni to support current and future generations of School of Medicine students.

“He was proud of the school and proud of his education,” Fratianne says. “I hope others will appreciate his incredible generosity and match it in whatever way they can.”

Make a Reunion Gift that Meets Your Personal Objectives and Supports Your Medical School

There are multiple methods for making special reunion gifts to provide for the School of Medicine now and in future decades are available to permit every reunion celebrant to participate:

• A documented will commitment
• A planned gift commitment, a gift that provides the donor with income for life or a specified number of years or that provides for the future
• Outright cash or stock gifts
• Other gifts of such as real estate, including homes (which we may continue to occupy), collections of art or stamps, etc.

Pledges made this calendar year, 2008, may be fulfilled over the course of 3-5 years.

Your reunion provides you with an opportunity to celebrate your education, successes, and legacy. Please take this milestone reunion as an opportunity to support the students, faculty, and academic programs of your medical school.

For details on methods for reunion giving, please contact the Office of Development and Alumni Relations at the School of Medicine at 216-368-6830.

Will commitment to endow chemistry professorship at Case Western Reserve University

Gift will also support prize funds for students, faculty

klopman.jpg

Gilles Klopman, the Charles F. Mabery Professor Emeritus of Research in Chemistry at Case Western Reserve University and president and CEO of Beachwood, Ohio-based MultiCASE, Inc., has made seven-figure will commitment to the chemistry department in Case Western Reserve's College of Arts and Sciences.

Klopman's bequest will endow a professorship in chemistry as well as two prizes—one for faculty and one for undergraduates—in the name of Klopman and his wife, Malvina.

"Gilles Klopman's promised gift reflects his lifelong dedication to Case Western Reserve University, and he serves as a role model to other faculty members," said Cyrus C. Taylor, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Referring to the chemistry prizes that the bequest will support, the dean continued, "We are pleased to know that additional resources will be available to showcase our chemistry faculty and students for years to come."

"You always need money for operations," Klopman said. "But I wanted to do something different for the department and decided to create these awards to enhance the academic experience for students and recognize the work of the chemistry faculty."

Throughout his career, Klopman has pioneered "the innovative use of computers to address important chemical and biological problems," says Lawrence M. Sayre, chair of the chemistry department. Most notably, as president and CEO of MultiCASE, Inc., Klopman has led in the development of artificial intelligence programs that assess the health hazards posed by new chemicals.

MultiCASE's software provides pharmaceutical companies with an alternative to animal testing as a means of evaluating the potential toxicity of new drugs. And by allowing the risk assessment to be completed in as little as a minute, it saves these companies millions of dollars. If a chemical is found to have toxic effects, researchers will abandon it immediately, instead of continuing with a long and costly drug development process.

A native of Belgium, Klopman earned his Ph.D. at the University of Brussels before emigrating to the United States in 1965. He joined the chemistry faculty in 1967 and later served as department chair for 13 years. Appointed to the Mabery Professorship in 1988, he is also a professor of oncology and environmental health sciences at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine. He served as the interim dean of science and mathematics in 1987 in the first year of Glenn Brown's deanship.

Klopman is the recipient of two major awards from the American Chemistry Society: the Morley Medal (1993) and the Patterson-Crane Award for Chemical Information (2005).

Once the professorship and prizes are established, Klopman has asked that any remaining funds be used to endow a Thursday evening subscription to The Cleveland Orchestra, for use by College of Arts and Sciences students, faculty and guests.

Klopman recalled that when former chemistry chair and Nobel laureate George Olah was recruiting him to join the chemistry faculty, he took Klopman to a concert at Severance Hall. The experience helped persuade him to come to Case Western Reserve.

"I thought, 'What a wonderful idea—to take me to the orchestra,'" Klopman said. "I want to do this for others."

Every gift matters

Any way it is measured—by participation, by annual giving, or as a pipeline for the future—giving to Case Western Reserve matters.

It matters to our students, who benefit from expanded opportunities for scholarships and fellowships. It inspires our faculty, who are recruited and recognized through professorships. It heartens the entire Case community, who rely on a healthy endowment to sustain and build the institution.

It begins with a conversation

The most satisfying philanthropic commitments come from thoughtful conversation between the donor and the institution. Case Western Reserve invites you to explore the university’s priorities, read stories about the impact of giving, and learn more about the many ways to give.

If you’d like to start a conversation about giving, please contact the development office at 216-368-4352.

ACM SIGCOMM

Mission

SIGCOMM is the flagship annual conference of the Special Interest Group on Data Communication (SIGCOMM), a vital special interest group of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

The annual SIGCOMM conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions to the field of computer and data communication networks. We invite submissions on network architecture, design, implementation, operations, analysis, measurement, and simulation.

There are two categories of paper submissions -- full papers and position papers. Full papers are no more than 14 pages long and typically report novel results firmly substantiated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis. Position papers are no more than 8 pages long and attempt to shape research directions by offering new perspectives, wisdom, and guidance rather than presenting mature work with quantitative results. Posters are one 30" x 40" (75cm x 100cm) page long, and present ongoing work. Student poster submissions will be favored.

Papers are double-blind reviewed (no author identification) by a technical program committee (TPC). Depending on the year and the program chairs, the TPC can have between 20-40 researchers. The paper acceptance ratio also varies year to year, from between 8-16%, on average accepting 30 papers out of 300 submissions.

The meeting is 3 days, single-track. It is accompanied by 2 days of tutorials and related workshops which vary each year. The conference occurs once a year in the late summer, with the location varing internationally, typically including locations in North America and Europe every three years.

Attendance is open, and there are some limited student travel grants available.

Upcoming Conference

ACM SIGCOMM 2008 will be held in Seattle, WA, USA, from August 17-22, 2008.

Applications of this work will include: personal decisions (e.g. spouse or partner selection), financial planning, investment decisions, group decisions, team formation, organizational decisions, corporate decisions, industrial decisions, government decisions, non-profit organizations decisions, risk analysis, and artificial intelligent decision making.

To participate in this research you will first respond to a short 36 question survey. This survey will ask you several questions about your decision making behaviors and preferences. After the survey, there will be a short eight question demographic questionnaire. All data from the survey and questionnaire is completely anonymous. It can in no way be related to you. Your results will be stored for later analysis by researchers of this study.

After you have completed the survey and questionnaire, your results will be used to determine your decision making type, and details about your results will be displayed.
