In Afghanistan, a law that provides an amnesty to perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity was brought into force when it was published in January in the official gazette. After the amnesty law was passed by parliament in 2007, President Karzai said he would allow the law to go into effect. Despite his pledge, the law is now on the books in the country.

ERICA HILL, CNN ANCHOR: Anderson, John Lennon’s killer was denied parole today for a fifth time. Mark David Chapman will serve at least two more years in New York’s Attica correctional facility for murdering the former Beatle in 1980. He is up for parole again in 2010.
More than half of U.S. companies and nearly three-quarters of foreign operations doing business here in the U.S. paid no federal income taxes for at least one year out of eight. That coming to us from a new government study.
And during that same time, we’ve learned the businesses did trillions of dollars in sales. The report says the companies avoided taxes through operating losses, tax credits, and by shifting income to no-tax countries. Words over the credit crisis have stocks tumbling today, the Dow down nearly 140 pounds to settle at 11,642. The NASDAQ basically flat, but it did drop nine while the S&P lost almost 16 points.
A Burger King employee in Ohio caught on tape taking a bath in the restaurant sink.
COOPER: How bizarre.
HILL: So strange. And now this person is going to have to find not only a new tub, Anderson, but a new job. The video ended up online where the county health commissioner ran across it. Two employees involved in the Senate were fired, another quit.
COOPER: What was he thinking?
HILL: The question may be what else was he doing before he got in the tub?
COOPER: Really? I hadn’t even thought about that, actually.
HILL: I don’t know. Maybe — meaning — maybe there was some substance that made him think it was a good idea. That’s all I’m saying. Or maybe not.
COOPER: Let’s move on.
HILL: Hey, how about that “Beat 360″?
Yes. Here’s the winner.
HILL: That’s a clean job.
The daily challenge gives viewers a chance to show up our staffers by coming up with a better caption than the one we could come up with.
I’ll show that picture again. Tonight’s picture, Senator Joe Lieberman, former secretary of homeland security, Tom Ridge, chatting while John McCain was talking at a town hall meeting in York, Pennsylvania.
Our staff winner, Jack, totally inappropriate. His caption, “Is it just me, or do a lot of the babies in this room look like John Edwards?”
(SOUND EFFECT: baby crying)
COOPER: So inappropriate. The sound effect didn’t help.
Our viewer winner is Marvin…
HILL: So inappropriate.
COOPER: … from San Antonio. His caption: “Let’s go out for V.P. steaks after this. Would you like yours mediocre or well done?” (SOUND EFFECT: “Ooooh!”)
COOPER: Marvin, your “Beat 350″ T-shirt is on the way.
HILL: Oh happy day.
COOPER: You can check out all the entries. You won’t want to take a bath after you wear that. You can play along tomorrow by going to AC 360. I don’t know what that means, either.
HILL: Don’t wash the T-shirt off, whatever you do.
COOPER: I don’t know.
HILL: Wear it forever.
COOPER: Yes. All right. We’re almost done, blissfully. At the top of the hour, breaking news, a cease-fire announced in the showdown between Russia and Georgia. We’ll have the latest. And we’ll hear what the presidential candidates are saying about it.
I’ll show that picture again. Tonight’s picture, Senator Joe Lieberman, former secretary of homeland security, Tom Ridge, chatting while John McCain was talking at a town hall meeting in York, Pennsylvania.

Life is a book. No saying can hold more truth than that one short quote. Life is indeed a book waiting to be written. Ideas for the best novels and stories often come from the authors past experiences, what they observe, or what they hear from people around them. Stories often start with an idea that gets stuck in your brain after hearing or seeing something of interest to you and expanding it with other ideas you might have stored in your memory. These ideas may also be figments of your imagination, stemming from dreams, hopes, ambitions, and the what-ifs we tend to ask ourselves every now and then.
Experiencing life is one great story in itself, but having the tenacity to mix it up and write it down takes some skill, some hard work, and a lot of creativity. To come up with a story that is both coherent and interesting, one has to be a bit of a dreamer with an eye for detail and a strong sense of reality. Writing from past experiences also lends some reality to your work of fiction since it is based on different events in different peoples lives or even just one life in particular. Emotions can be expressed accurately enough, depending on how you felt when such an event happened or how you would have felt if that happened to you.
Although some research also needs to be done to give a story some backbone, this may sometimes depend on the storys setting, character orientation, and the places where the events take place. Oftentimes, locations for fictional stories are replicas of real-life locations, mixed and matched with other real places and venues, then renamed. People in the stories can be derived from people you meet in real life, people you admire, people you abhor, or even people you come across once or twice in your entire lifetime.
Writing from experiences can reflect past hurts and disappointments as well as hidden fantasies and dreams. It is, in effect, like putting down your heart and soul on paper. It is a writers legacy to share with his reader part of who he is by writing from the heart, for in doing so, the story becomes more real and more captivating due to the realism that people can relate to. Falling in love, falling out of love, falling from your bike, falling from a tree all these events can be used to a certain extent in writing, with modifications to who, what, when, and where to suit the needs of the story being penned.
Digging through past experiences to use as elements for your story can sometimes be dangerous. While rewriting these into a fictional story, some of the real events tend to blur into the one being written, which can then warp your own memories of what really happened to you and what is just an elaboration or an add-on to the scene in the tale. Taking care to differentiate one from the other can be somewhat tricky and is a skill that any author has to learn.
Characters in fictional stories, when based on real people you are close to or even people youve only seen from afar, come to life easily if you can picture them in your head. Descriptions come to you in a flash since their picture or image is embedded in your memory. Their personality may or may not be based on the model and could be derived from another person altogether. The main point of writing from experience being mixing and matching events, people, places, and imagination to come up with a story that isnt exactly pure fiction in feel, but fiction in the coming together.

With the world becoming smaller and repeated references to the global village syndrome, people feel that it’s not long before the borders of trade become totally transparent. While this is a positive in many ways, particularly for the global consumer, there are downsides. For one thing, with the influx of sellers from the world over, the local industry comes into direct competition with the international industry. While some contend that this will bring local industry on par with international industry, the truth is that many local sellers feel threatened by the change. Costs of production in one area may vary greatly from those of another area, and if businesses from the 2 areas come head to head, this will be an important determining factor for the survival of the high production cost business. Some of the ways regulators and business people have thought to protect and foster growth in local industry are below.
Tariffs on imports:–
The local industry has the option of lobbying for tariffs to be applied on the import of products and services into the country. There are many ways to tax these international businesses so that the costs come to par with local industry. Due to the cost of transporting products, this also happens naturally in many cases – the cost of shipping may be prohibitive on an auto ancillary from Russia as opposed to one made in Detroit, though the original price of the former may be much lower.
Subsidies:–
The reverse concept is to grant subsidies for the local industry to grow and strengthen itself to take on international industry players. This is only effective in the short term, however, and is somewhat controversial since subsidies are normally considered fair for weak or infant industries.
Raise barriers to entry:–
The trade council can raise the barriers for entry for a business by imposing global standards. This means that the product must conform to international standards for it to be sold in the country, which means that the quality improves and thus cost of the product increases.
Find USP for local products:–
The local industry can also respond to this type of situation by creating need for local products. A special niche or a unique selling point of the local products means that there will be a specialized market for it and the product cannot be replaced by the international industry.
Join them:–
If you can’t beat them, join them. Local industry can look for ways to partner with international industry, through individual sellers or as a whole, to ensure that everyone makes a profit. Many businesses are choosing to outsource some of their functions so that they ultimately make more profits.
However, there is a good side to global competition. It serves to protect the local customer by reducing the possibility of monopolies within the local industry. But this is a matter to concern the government. So long as there are no unfair trading practices that harm the consumer, the local industry needs to look towards maximizing profitability and competing in a global market place.

If youve been watching those late night infomercials, you may be convinced that the US government is giving away Free Money to just about anybody who needs some. Your savings and even your home may be at risk if your business fails, so the thought of a free government grant to start your business is very tempting. Grants are given by an organization or local government officers to a business in line with their particular projects success.
In return, you have to pay a 2% of your outstanding loan each year to the business service sector of the government who helped you acquire the loan. Small business loans are now available from a wide range of sources both government and private. Different kinds of government small business loans are now available to people with small business ideas in need of start up finance.
Application
A firm seeking small business grants is required to submit an appropriate application form. The application is then processed by the financial institution giving grant. It’s not as easy as filling out an application and you get a check in the mail. Where capital grants or substantial grants for research and development are concerned, and some others, the application procedure and forms are complex. It is thus difficult for outsiders to know or understand exactly what points would favour their application as opposed to those which would condemn it.
Federal
The Federal government provides assistance for entrepreneurs who want to excel by means of grants under different schemes. The grants can be from the federal government, state government or from the agencies. One of the best places to research the availability of business grants and loans is the Small Business Administration, an agency of the federal government with a mandate to help business, especially small business succeed.

August 2005 had been a great month for me, as I marked 10 years in business. All month long, the mood was festive and upbeat, and I was pleased at how well the business was going and excited about the future.
But suddenly, my entire world was turned upside down and inside out when the massive storm struck and did its horrible damage.
On the day Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, I was supposed to be filming my 2nd exercise DVD in New Orleans – but the only filming done that day was by the news media, recording the Katrina disaster as it grew ever more ominous and life-threatening.
My family and I were safe, having evacuated to my daughter’s apartment in Florida. But we were filled with fear and anxiety about what was going to happen to our home, and to the homes of our friends … we wondered if we were even going to have a home to go back to.
From Florida, we headed for Houston, where my husband’s job called him. We stayed in Houston for one month, during which time I couldn’t even find out about – much less do anything about — my business, which I feared might “go under” with so many other hopes, dreams and physical properties back home.
When we were able to return, finally, we were relieved and grateful to learn that we only needed to have our roof replaced and clean up some minor inside damage. The home front was going to be all right — but my business wasn’t faring as well.
Everyone’s top priority was to take care of our properties and to help others who were struggling. With all the trees down and dangerous, filthy debris everywhere, there was no way to even take a brisk walk to help shake off the blues. All any of us could do, day after endless day, was to work at cleaning up the unbelievable mess.
My son’s school reopened, so he was gone all day … my husband was still in Houston … and I was trapped in a nightmare where each effort I made to move forward was met with a resounding “No way!” I did show up at my studio, but it was wasted effort, since I was usually the only one there. My clients didn’t have the time, the energy or the motivation to keep up with their workouts during this troubled time.
I was frustrated beyond words, and depression began to settle in and drag me down into its numbing clutches … but I also am very stubborn when I believe in what I’m doing … and my belief in my business was strong. There simply was no way I was going to let it go under without a fight.
With my family’s blessing, I began to take money out of our house funds to pay rent and bills for the business. (Thankfully, they shared my belief that sometime in the near future things could be salvaged, turned around and would get better.) Scary stuff … but there was no other choice, other than the unacceptable one of seeing my business fall apart, fail and disappear … and I am one stubborn businesswoman when the cause is just and failure unacceptable.
One day I just set aside the mop, the broom, the buckets for debris, the work gloves and the stained, tattered coveralls, and decided that’s all the “cleaning up” I was going to do. If the carpets stayed muddy for a while longer, well, that wasn’t going to be the end of the world. But thinking about losing my business felt like exactly that – and I simply wasn’t going to have it.
First, I decided to go over the script that I had planned to use for the 2nd DVD, editing it and revising it to be a tighter presentation. That exercise refreshed my focus and sense of purpose for the business and I was inspired to take it to the next level of intensity, writing another script called focused on a different kind of exercise. That writing went very quickly, as well, as ideas – long shelved in favor of the more immediate demands of hurricane clean up – burst through to my consciousness. After that, I wrote a script for the next level … and after that, I began to pull together thoughts and exercises for an aerobic DVD.
Suddenly, from someone down in the dumps, battling depression and a growing sense of futility, I was a house afire once again, with renewed purpose and direction. BUT … with no clients coming to the studio, with everyone’s spirits at least badly bruised, if not crushed, how was that going to happen? And where would the funds come from to pay for the filming?
Never mind. One step at a time. The disruption of daily life would end, some day … people would return to more normal routines … and when the time was right I would already have scripts written for whole new set of exercise DVDs.
One day my son came home from school with the news that his media instructor had given the okay to film at his school, saying it would be a great project for the kids to work on. I certainly wasn’t expecting a professional result from the kids, but was nevertheless grateful for the offer and thought that at the very least, it would allow me to do a practice run through. Two weeks later we started to film, and the level of professionalism these students could deliver was stunning.
The result was so good, in fact, that I become a mentor for the Fontainebleau High School Media Program and they agreed to film all the DVDs I had written. This was great experience for them and a huge break for me. Between the months of January and May 2006 we were able to film five DVDs plus a redo of our original DVD. To thank the school, I now give them a percentage of each video sold to help support the media center.
I wanted to tell this story to show that while Katrina was a devastating event, with a profound and horrible impact on many lives, it also ignited the spark of all that’s best in humankind … spirits that won’t be smothered, hopes that won’t be destroyed, determination that will guarantee triumph, and the beautiful symbiosis of people working together for the best interests of all.
My business thrives again, today … and the Media Program at Fontainebleau High School thrives, as well. And the healing and growth continue….

If you own or operate a small business you really need to be online. If you are not online, you are truly missing out on thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of dollars that your competitors are cashing in on. To have a successful business you need paying customers. To get paying customers you need to be marketing online, every day. Without marketing, your business will surely struggle. Online marketing small business should be your number one focus to get your company profitable.
If you haven’t been following any trends lately in the marketing world, here are some things you are going to want to avoid.
1. Phonebooks: The Yellow Pages are DEAD! Everything is online these days. Customers now go online to look for information on a business, product of service.
2. Newspapers: Granted, they still do offer limited exposure for your business but it isn’t hard to put an ad in the paper and most likely your competition in doing it as well.
3. T.V. Commercials: This can be the biggest waste of your money. With all the channels, dvr, and internet television, most people don’t even bother watching the commercials. They either channel surf or fast forward through them. Don’t fall victim to this. Once your commercial runs you will expect the phones to be ringing off the hook and you will be sorely disappointed once it doesn’t ring and you spent all the money on ad time.
Your business needs to stay on top of the trends and stay fresh with what the small business world is doing to be successful. You need to market your small business online!

Big-brained idealists with little local real estate knowledge have been breaking ground new condominium developments in record numbers in the past decade here in the US. Not every ground breaking is indeed Ground-Breaking, nor are such events good news for the overall health of any given real estate market. According to Realtor.com, there are currently 22,578 condos currently on the market in Miami Florida. The effects over oversaturation can be devastating to a local real estate market.
Since all real estate is local (you can’t buy a 3000 sq ft split level across from Central Park for $159,000 as you can in say Little Rock, AR), values are determined within a particular geographical location by a variety of non-market driven factors: the properties cache, it’s location, amenities, size, condition, etc. However, real estate values are greatly also affected by simple supply and demand. With the surge of new construction projects littering the US in the past decade, such developments not only flood the condominium market with a plethora of inventory, thereby possible reducing prices, but can add to the perception of a stagnant real estate market. More inventory has an ability to chill a potential buyers sense of urgency. A high substitutability factor of available condos can quickly knock the wind out of any new buyers’ sails as well. Furthermore, an oversupply of non-performing condos can pave the way for future foreclosure. Upon resurfacing, those condos come back on the market, and have a tendency to shock the local real estate market with artificially low asking prices, causing the entire market to react.
Missing a target market is devastating to the developer looking to make a fortune on his or her latest project. Building large condos with “neighborhood breaking” asking prices, or developing the wrong style of building for a given location or demographic can wreak havoc for a developer and the unlucky neighborhood that gets saddled with such a misnomer. The model for any new development project that works in New York City, is not going to work in St. Louis. How is it that the phrase “When in Rome”, doesn’t apply here? It does. Local real estate markets benefit when a developer does his or her homework, and can match a product with it respective marketplace. Downtown Philadelphia has recently seen a half dozen high-profile new construction projects crash and burn prior to a shovel hitting the dirt. From poor planning to a lack of local real estate research and good old fashioned listening, developers are packing their bags prior to unpacking their bags. In some cases, perhaps for the best, such projects have not been built. “The market could have easily absorbed a few of these projects, should it have been based upon logical and solid research” according to Jim Thornton, of Prudential Fox and Roach Realtors in downtown Philadelphia. “Developers who don’t know the area, and try to fit our landscape into their mold, are in for a bit of a shock”.
