Infidelity statistics have varied drastically over the past 50 years. The problem with obtaining accurate statistics on adultery is that most people will not tell the truth because it is such a sensitive subject. Controlled cheating surveys are scarce and the below infidelity percentages have been randomly collected from various sources.
INTERNET PORN STATISTICShttp://www.healthymind.com
$57.0 billion revenue world-wide$12.0 billion of this is US revenue, more than all combined revenues of all professional football, baseball and basketball franchises or the combined revenues of ABC, CBS, and NBC (6.2 billion). $2.5 of the $12 billion is related to internet porn.
The National Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families states that "approximately 40 million people in the United States are sexually involved with the Internet.
"Sex is the number 1 topic searched on the Internet" (NCPCE Online, "Current Statistics," Internet, http://www.nationalcoalition.org/
25% of total search engine requests are porn-related. (Top three searches: sex, mp3 and hotmail.)8% of total emails are porn-related. Average daily pornographic emails are 4.5 per internet user12% of total websites are pornographic

Infidelity statisticsIt's tough to get a handle on how many of us are having affairs, given the inherent secrecy.
22 percent of married men have strayed at least once during their married lives.
14 percent of married women have had affairs at least once during their married lives.
Younger people are more likely candidates; in fact, younger women are as likely as younger men to be unfaithful.
70 percent of married women and 54 percent of married men did not know of their spouses' extramarital activity.
5 percent of married men and 3 percent of married women reported having sex with someone other than their spouse in the 1997.
22 percent of men and 14 percent of women admitted to having sexual relations outside their marriage sometime in their past.
90 percent of Americans believe adultery is morally wrong.
50 percent of Americans say President Clinton's adultery makes his moral standard "about the same as the average married man,'' according to a Time-CNN poll.
61 percent of Americans thought adultery should not be a crime in the United states; 35 percent thought it should; 4 percent had no opinion.
17 percent of divorces in the United States are caused by infidelity.

-Only 46% of men believe that online affairs are adultery.DivorceMag
-80% think it's Ok to talk with a stranger identified as the opposite sex. 75% thinks it's ok to visit an adult site.
- About 60 percent of men and 40 percent of women will have an affair at some point in some marriage"Monogamy Myth", Therapist Peggy Vaugn
-About 24 percent of men and 14 percent of women have had sex outside their marriages, according to a Dec. 21, 1998 report in USA Today on a national study by the University of California, San Francisco.
Affairs affect one of every 2.7 couples, according to counselor Janis Abrahms Spring, author of "After the Affair," as reported by the Washington Post on March 30, 1999. Ten percent of extramarital affairs last one day, 10 percent last more than one day but less than a month, 50 percent last more than a month but less than a year, but 40 percent last two or more years. Few extramarital affairs last more than four years.
A lesser known fact is that those who divorce rarely marry the person with whom they are having the affair. For example, Dr. Jan Halper's study of successful men (executives, entrepreneurs, professionals) found that very few men who have affairs divorce their wife and marry their lovers. Only 3 percent of the 4,100 successful men surveyed eventually married their lovers.
Frank Pittman has found that the divorce rate among those who married their lovers was 75 percent. The reasons for the high divorce rate include: intervention of reality, guilt, expectations, a general distrust of marriage, and a distrust of the affairee.
-Statistics show more than 72,000 sexually explicit sites on the web and an estimated 266 new porn sites being added each day. These sites alone generate a revenue of $1 billion dollars each year.Harding Institute
-One-third of divorce litigation is caused by online affairs"This Is An Internet E-Mergency", The Fortino Group
-Approximately 70% of time on-line is spent in chat rooms or sending e-mail; of these interactions, the vast majority are romantic in nature. Dr. Michael Adamse, PhD., co-author of "Affairs of the Net: The Cybershrinks' Guide to Online Relationships"
-Because of the anonymity, affordability, and accessibility of Internet sexual resources, the computer can accelerate the transition from "at risk" to "addicted," as well as the progression of sex addiction in those with a history of prior sexual compulsivity.Cooper et al Survey
-8-10 percent of Internet users become hooked on cybersex.Dr. Bob Lanier, askbob.com
Spouses who get hooked on Internet porn are a growing complaint among spouses filing for divorce, according to a survey of 350 divorce attorneys. "If there's dissatisfaction in the existing relationship, the Internet is an easy way for people to scratch the itch," said lawyer J. Lindsey Short, Jr., president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, which conducted the study.
57% of people have used the Internet to flirt.
38% of people have engaged in explicit online sexual conversation and 50% of people have made phone contact with someone they chatted with online.
Evidence proves there is a high correlation between on-line infidelity and subsequent real-time sexual affairs.
Evidence supports the existence of disinhibition, accelerated intimacy, and hyper-sexual online behavior that can easily lead to real-time infidelity
31% of people have had an online conversation that has led to real-time sex.
-It is estimated that 53% of all people will have one or more affairs during their lifetime.
Look at the numbers from a recent issue of Playboy Magazine:
-2 out of 3 women and 3 out of 4 men admit they have sexual thoughts about co-workers.
-86% of men and 81% of women admit they routinely flirt with the opposite sex.
-75% of men and 65% of women admit to having sex with people they work with.
-The fact is that human beings are NOT monogamous by nature. That means they cheat.
Experts say that a gut instinct is the most powerful indicator of a cheating lover. Adultery statistics state that 85% of woman who feel their lover is cheating are correct. 50% of men who feel their lover is cheating are right. The first clue is seldom obvious. Typically, it's a "feeling" that something is different.
It is estimated that 750,000 children have been aggressively pursued for sex on the Internet, 1 out 5 of these children were solicited for sex and 1 out of 4 children were sent pictures of people naked or having sex.
There are recurring press reports of pedophiles using chat rooms to lure children into physical meetings. According to a recent national newspaper report, chat rooms are the most popular activity for children online, yet most chat rooms are unsupervised. Many are private, accessible only by invitation and special passwords (which may be provided to children by e-mail or instant-type messages to the screen of a targeted child).
Police investigators report that when they identify themselves as teenaged girls in chat rooms they are frequently approached by strangers making sexual advances. In addition, pedophiles have created a community online, where they can validate their behavior with other like-minded individuals and share information and tricks of the trade.
Cheating spouse statistics confirm that 50 and 70 percent of married men (between 38 and 53 million men) have cheated or will cheat on their wives. One study found that 2/3 of the wives (26 to 36 million women) whose husbands were cheating had no idea their husbands were having an affair - largely because they failed to recognize the telltale signs.
According to Annette Lawson, author of "Adultery," published in 1989 by Basic Books."The various researchers arrive at a general consensus…suggesting that above one-quarter to about one-half of married women have at least one lover after they are married in any given marriage. Married men probably still stray more often than married women—perhaps from 50 percent to 65 percent by the age of forty."
According to Maggie Scarf, author of "Intimate Partners," first published in 1987 by Random House, re-issued in 1996 by Ballentine."Most experts do consider the 'educated guess' that at the present time some 50 to 65 percent of husbands and 45 to 55 percent of wives become extramaritally involved by the age of 40 to be a relatively sound and reasonable one."
According to Peggy Vaughan, author of "The Monogamy Myth," first published in 1989 by Newmarket Press (third edition published 2003).Conservative infedelity statistics estimate that "60 percent of men and 40 percent of women will have an extramarital affair. These figures are even more significant when we consider the total number of marriages involved, since it's unlikely that all the men and women having affairs happen to be married to each other. If even half of the women having affairs (or 20 percent) are married to men not included in the 60 percent having affairs, then at least one partner will have an affair in approximately 80 percent of all marriages. With this many marriages affected, it's unreasonable to think affairs are due only to the failures and shortcomings of individual husbands or wives."
Note that the above adultery statistics of the prevalence of affairs were made more than a decade ago; so based on changes in society during the intervening years, the current percentage of the population who have had affairs is probably somewhat HIGHER. For instance, the continuing increase of women in the workplace and the increase of women having affairs on the Internet means that the numbers for women having affairs is probably similar to those for men—about 60%.

Reality and video games merge in this high-concept sci-fi action thriller from Crank creators Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. In the not too distant future, mind-control technology allows humans to control the actions and movements of other humans, allowing reclusive billionaire Ken Castle Michael C. Hall to create the ultimate video game. It's called "Slayers," and it's a mass-scale, multiplayer online first-person shooter that's as controversial as it is popular. In the world of gamers, Simon Logan Lerman is a rock star; miraculously managing to keep his character alive week after week, he racks up frags like Billy Mitchell jumps barrels. But unlike Mitchell's Mario, Simon's video-game avatar is a living, breathing human being named Kable Gerard Butler. Defying the odds to keep Kable running and gunning though even the most explosive battles, Simon captures the imagination of a global audience. Torn from his family, thrown into prison, and forced to fight against his will, Kable realizes that his only hope of ever seeing his family again is to somehow escape the game, reclaim his identity, and expose Castle's dehumanizing technology on live television.

There is a lot about this election season that's easy to explain.
Mitt Romney won the first debate by a lot, and President Obama won the second and third, but by smaller margins. Romney's victory meant more because it established that he was a credible candidate, which is a threshold a challenger can't fail to meet.
The race is close because -- unless you're in the middle of a war -- it's always the economy.
If the economy were better, Obama would have this race nailed. As I used to say about some of my (losing) candidates, they had no problem that two points of unemployment couldn't solve. If unemployment were two points lower, the fat lady would be singing.
There's not a lot of enthusiasm out there. I ran into a woman on the day of the last debate -- a politically savvy, usually engaged Democrat -- and she said to me, "Aren't you sick of the whole thing?" Actually, I'm not. Actually, as a former Hillary supporter, I think the president has done more to keep his promises than I expected. I'm a lot less disappointed than the people who convinced themselves four years ago that Obama could walk on water, much less do it in the swamp that is Washington, D.C., figuratively and literally.
The absence of enthusiasm on the Democratic side is not much different from what I'm seeing on the Republican side. Some Republicans tell me Romney is actually a better candidate than they thought he'd be, which is another way of saying he's not as bad as they feared he'd be. I expect that if he wins, conservatives will be all over him from Day One for not being conservative enough. Some already are.
So what will decide this election?
Probably Ohio.
The ground game. Field operations and GOTV don't mean much when you have a five-point lead -- or are losing by five points. A point or two is the difference they generally make. Right now, a point or two probably decides the election.
A spike of news, good or bad, between now and the election, either personal (remember that last-minute drunk driving story that dropped on Bush) or economic. It's a little late, and a little obvious, for either side to manufacture an October surprise, but it's still October.
What will the candidates do in the final days? Visit the same six or seven states they've been visiting. Probably go positive while the Super-PACs go negative. Obama will try to hold his lead among women and cut Romney's among men. Reverse for Romney.
What about these polls that are all over the place? Which ones should you believe? The ones in the middle tend to be the most reliable.
Which campaign did the better job? The one that wins. Those folks will be credited with pulling off a close race. The ones who lose will be second-guessed and will second-guess themselves until the cows come home, because any small thing done differently might have changed the outcome. Losing a landslide is in many ways easier.
Will this election produce a mandate? No. You don't get a mandate when you win by a point or two. Obama isn't likely to get his tax increase on the wealthy. Romney isn't likely to get a big increase in defense spending. Unemployment will probably keep inching down no matter who wins, and whoever does will take credit.
But it still matters. It matters in terms of who is on the Supreme Court, environmental regulations, accessibility to health care and a host of other issues, most of which haven't received the attention they deserve during this campaign.
Many of the people who will decide this election may have been watching baseball or football during the debates while the rest of us rooted for the candidate to whom we're already firmly committed. But the election matters more.

I don't give a damn about the Coyotes as a hockey team, but I'm happy for their fans who have endured all the misery and stops/starts they have had the past few years. Not a bad franchise and not lacking in talent and maybe they can build something now that ownership has FINALLY been resolved.
They made all the moves in the off-season to solidify the franchise and it now finally has ended. Good for them.

Virtualization and cloud computing may seem like buzz words at the moment, but in the future they hold the potential to completely reshape computing. What used to be a world dominated by
Not all of the problems are worked out yet. But the vision for what could happen is one of the most fundamental shifts in the history of corporate computing. To help shed light on this change, Forbes caught up with Pat Gelsinger, president and COO for
Forbes: What's in store for CIOs?
Gelsinger: There are a handful of things going on. First of all there's an industry restructuring underway. I've called it constellations. Others call it the re-verticalization of the industry. The Oracle-Sun announcement is the most recent example. The one before that was Dell-Perot. Before that it was HP-EDS. There are many other proof points in the industry. Every CIO is asking the question: Do I want to get hardware from Oracle? Do I want more solutions and less Legos? Or do I want a mainframe of the future?
Or do they buy hardware at all?
Right. Now we're also facing major technology shifts. At the top of that list is virtualization. That is a fundamental restructuring of the data center, which includes a separation of infrastructure from the operating system and from the applications and services. That is the single biggest architectural transition that is occurring and it creates disruptions and opportunities in every aspect of the data center.
You're talking about disaggregation plus re-aggregation?
Yes. In the disaggregation the traditional operating system is now a set of application services. The real operating system is the virtualization layer. The promise of virtualization is that you can write applications and services that have no unique dependency on what is below in the infrastructure. You can containerize, load balance, failover and replicate as a result of that separation. And because of that you can have more efficiency. You can consolidate, automate and provision.
How does a CIO decide where to aggregate and where to disaggregate?
First of all they need to virtualize everything. That changes the way you look at your applications and services and infrastructure. We still have a long way to go before companies have fully operationalized a virtualized environment. Every one of the top corporations has used virtualization for efficiency. A few are experimenting with some level of resource balancing. But very few have put 100% of their applications into virtualized environments. There are still legacy mainframe environments. We have a long way to go.
Where does cloud computing fit in?
Once you virtualize you can move to cloud computing. You've got load-balancing and efficiency in the infrastructure. Your management environment is largely a policy-based autonomic environment. It really changes the way you think about IT. If I'm an IT person the same reason I would want to build an external cloud are the same reasons I want to build an internal cloud. I run lots of different applications, I want to flexibly move those across shared infrastructure, which can drive up the utilization dramatically. I also can get load balancing across data centers, do mainframe-like high-availability and failover. I also can build a cloud-like architecture that's private and then federate from my private cloud to my external environment, where I can have spillover. I can develop things that run internally and migrate them external, or I can do test and development externally and then migrate them internally. I also can look at external cloud services and consider them for high-availability or load-map balancing. Business processes are now able to cross from private to public or private to shared, or whatever that model might be.
What stays internal vs. external?
As you have those dialogs there are definable lines. Some people say, "That's going to be mine forever." And others say, "You know, I really could start looking at my IT in a pay-by-the-drink kind of model."
But what do they really need to own?
We haven't built an internal taxonomy of that yet but here are some examples that have come up. Some corporations will say that's mission-critical data. They won't trust that externally to anyone. It's mission-critical, necessary for third-party requirements like audits or GRC [governance, risk management and compliance]. They might have internal [service level agreements]. We had this conversation with one CIO where an internal IT person was getting an award for being so clever as to figure out how to take advantage of the cloud model. When the CIO found out he threatened to fire the person receiving the award because he was looking to move some critical data outside the company. But with this flexible model it doesn't mean that when things go to the cloud they stay there. CIOs can bring them back internally.
Isn't it harder to bring back once you've outsourced it into a cloud?
Not really. Today I might use an external archive service. I don't want it in my data center for failover purposes. But if I could treat my other data center around the world as a real-time high-availability site I've now essentially brought back inside my archive capability. It's just located halfway around the world. It's become my active archive site in real-time. All of a sudden you've created an ability to re-integrate as well as export.
You said before that the virtualization layer is the new operating system?
Yes. We used to have a one-to-one binding of an OS [operating system] with a server.
That OS provided two things. Looking down at the hardware it provided drivers and other things to drive upward an illusion of shared services. Every app thought it had the full network or memory. The OS created that illusion of resources. It also provided a set of services such as print-to-file down into the hardware. Virtualization draws a very bright line between the hardware and the application. All of those hardware services are provided by the virtualization layer. It's the layer that manages the hardware resources. But it doesn't just replace the OS. It also creates an environment across the data center because virtual machines can now collaborate with other virtual machines.
What you're talking about is fundamental change in the computing architecture, right?
The virtualization layer disaggregates the OS from the hardware and it creates the potential for a data center-wide operating system of the future. Now when you throw in ideas like multi-data-center federation, as well as internal and external clouds, it essentially has become the underpinnings of a distributed data center environment. It's the big three--storage, networking and computing.
When you push up to the next level, which is the application level, can't things move just as fluidly between enterprises as within the enterprise?
That's correct. And then when you take the view upward into the application layer what does the operating system do that isn't done by the virtualization layer? It has a set of services it provides, and increasingly applications don't write to those services. They write to middleware. This virtual machine layer becomes an aggregation layer of services across the data center, across multiple data centers and potentially across internal and external data centers. And applications of the future will no longer write to operating system APIs. They will write to middleware services that ride a level above that. That started with the Web 2.0 phenomenon.
Haven't you then marginalized the hardware platform?
In my mind it's more profound than that. If the application has any dependence on the underlying services, you've limited the scalability of the application. What you want to do is create a service abstraction that allows you to scale across a set of resources that may be expanding or contracting at data-center scale. I can write an application that can be a shared resource as big as the data center. That's very profound.
So what happens to the CIO? Do they become a manager of technology or processes?
This transition doesn't happen overnight. But there is a wonderful opportunity. Every development we do in the future will be developed for a virtualized environment so every application is agile, scalable and flexible.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Notre Dame scored seven unanswered goals over the course of three periods as the third-ranked Blue Devils fell to the ninth-ranked Irish 7-3 in men's lacrosse action at Arlotta Stadium. The win is the third straight for the Irish in regular season outings against Duke.
Sophomores Josh Dionne and Jordan Wolf and senior CJ Costabile all had goals for the Blue Devils. Wolf added an assist to finish with two points. Junior Dan Wigrizer made 16 saves for Duke between the pipes, including 12 in the first half.
The loss was just the third for Duke (1-1) on an opponent's home field under the guidance of head coach John Danowski. Notre Dame held Duke without a goal for 40:24 with Costabile stopping the drought with 18 ticks left in the game.
Duke jumped out to a 2-0 lead with goals in the first 4:18. Dionne and Wolf hooked up for the first marker of the afternoon at the 12:41 mark and Wolf added an unassisted tally five minutes into the second quarter to make it 2-0.
Defensively, Duke was outstanding in the first quarter. The Blue Devils held Notre Dame scoreless. Wigrizer had seven saves in the opening period to keep the Irish off the scoreboard. The Blue Devils won both faceoffs in the first quarter.
Notre Dame's offense caught fire in the second quarter, scoring four consecutive goals for a 4-2 lead at the half. The Irish netted the final three goals of the run in 1:42 as it outshot Duke 13-7 in the second frame. Wigrizer was solid again, stopping five shots to give him 12 saves after two quarters. Notre Dame won 4-of-5 restarts in the second quarter.
Sporting a two-goal lead after 30 minutes of play, the Irish stretched its lead to three when Max Pfeifer netted a goal with 5:10 left in the third quarter. Notre Dame added two more goals in the fourth quarter to earn the season-opening victory. Pfeifer finished the day with two goals and two assists to lead the Irish offense. Jim Marlatt added two goals as well.
Notre Dame held a slight 38-37 lead in shots, while Duke edged the Irish 27-26 in the ground ball game. Duke won 7-of-13 faceoffs with Costabile going 6-of-10 from the X. Costabile added five ground balls to his totals, while sophomore defenseman Chris Hipps had four. Justin Turri finished the day with three caused turnovers and one ground ball.
In goal, Notre Dame's John Kemp had 14 saves on 17 shots. The Irish went 0-for-3 on man-up opportunities for the day.
Duke returns to action Feb. 24 when it hosts Pennsylvania at Koskinen Stadium. Faceoff is set for 7 p.m. The Quakers defeated Duke last season in Philadelphia.

What To Consider When Selecting An Android Tablet
If you are considering purchasing a new tablet, you will notice that in the last few years the options have greatly expanded due to the large popularity of the product. This means that you will be able to find anything ranging from a very budget friendly model to a high end piece of technology depending on what you are looking for. Here are some of the most important things to keep in mind when looking at an android tablet, no matter what you plan to use it for.
Display Size
Although the most popular display sizes for an android tablet are 7 and 10 inches, there are also smaller options available in mini-tablets. When considering which tablet is right for you, pay attention to the screen size and think about what you will use it for. If you plan to mostly use the tablet at home, you should opt for a larger screen as transporting it will not be an issue. A larger screen is also a great idea if you are planning on watching videos. If you want portability, however, a 7 inch or smaller screen may be ideal.
Operating System
The operating system on the android tablet has evolved over the years so you want to be sure to select a more recent one. These systems are referred to both by number (such as 2.2) and name (such as Honeycomb) so do some research before choosing your tablet. If you only need to use basic functions and don't plan on installing many applications, an older OS may be fine, but a newer one is always recommended.
Storage And SD Slot
One of the most important things to consider when looking at an android tablet is the storage. Keep in mind that music and applications can take up a great deal of room, so it is a good idea to opt for a tablet that has a micro-SD slot that will allow you to expand the memory to a larger size.
If, like most people, you are planning on using your new android tablet on the go, you want to make sure you opt for one with a good battery life. Although you can always take with a wall or car charger, it is better if this is not necessary. Battery life is especially important if you will be using the tablet at work or school or if you plan to take it on trips to provide entertainment while traveling.

Now may be time to take a shot at staving off the flu
Better stock up on tissues and chicken soup.
Flu season has arrived in San Antonio in all its achy, feverish glory. The virus has come earlier than usual, and it likely will proliferate as families congregate for holiday celebrations.
"There are lots of people out there incubating the flu right now, and they're all going to get together early next week and spread it around," said Dr. David Gude, chief operating officer for Texas MedClinic. "That's what togetherness brings you: Santa and germs."
Typically, flu cases begin popping up in December and peak by mid-February. This year, health officials across the U.S. began detecting cases in October, and the number of cases had become significant by the middle of November, said Dr. Pedro A. Piedra, a professor in the department of molecular virology and microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
States in the south-central and southeastern regions, including Texas, were the first to report widespread cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In Texas, the central, south and southeast regions — including Bexar County — have been reporting more cases than other areas so far this year, said Chris Van Deusen, a spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health Services.
The last time the annual flu season began this early was the winter of 2003-2004. That season turned out to be one of the most deadly in recent decades.
Dr. Bruce Adams, director of the Center for Emergency Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio and physician at University Hospital, said flu cases began spiking here in recent days.
"We have had an 85 percent increase in positive flu tests in the last week," he said.
Some local schools are reporting more cases of flu than is typical at this time of year, affecting attendance on some campuses. Judson's attendance records for Tuesday ranged from 89 percent to 95 percent, depending on the school, down from typical attendance of 95 percent to 99 percent, a district spokesman said.
It's difficult to know how many people are battling the flu. The state health department doesn't track every case of influenza, which affects up to 20 percent of U.S. residents every year, but monitors the prevalence through a surveillance network of health care providers.
The influenza virus is notoriously unpredictable, experts said, which is why it's hard to say why flu season began early, when the outbreak will peak or when it will end.
"The flu bug doesn't read the textbook, so it doesn't always show up when it's supposed to," said Texas MedClinic's Gude, who Thursday was filling in for a physician out sick with the virus.
Influenza has not peaked, so expect to see plenty more cases in the coming weeks. The flu typically spikes in January when children, who in general are the most susceptible to influenza infection, return to school from vacation.
One of the major viruses circulating this season is H3N2, which historically has been responsible for the highest number of deaths in a regular flu season, typically in older adults.
The good news: This year's flu vaccine protects against H3N2, in addition to the strains H1N1 and B/Wisconsin.
"Most of the viruses that are circulating are covered with the vaccine," Piedra said.
It's not too late to get vaccinated, although it can take up to two weeks after vaccination for the immunity to kick in, said Amina Mhanna, a pharmacist at the Walgreens at South Zarzamora Street and Southwest Military Drive.
The shot won't give you the flu, despite anecdotal evidence to the contrary, she said. People who become sick after the getting the vaccine may not have received it in time or may be suffering from another virus with flu-like symptoms.
The CDC recommends everyone ages 6 months or older to get vaccinated against the flu, especially people older than 65, children younger than age 2, pregnant women and people with chronic medical conditions.
The vaccine, available via shot and nasal spray, will be effective through flu season, which can last through May.
Vaccinations are available at doctors' offices, pharmacies and community clinics.
Many large employers offer onsite flu shots for employees to reduce absenteeism and keep health care costs down.
Some, such as Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union, provide free immunizations in part because employees interact with the public.
At USAA, a mobile vaccination clinic traveled through office corridors to dole out free shots to employees for about three weeks in October.
"We vaccinated about half of our employees," said Dr. Peter Wald, USAA enterprise medical director. "If you can get to about 50 percent of your population, it really makes it very difficult for the virus to get started in your group. That's also true for a community."

Researchers with the National Institutes of Health say that Junior Seau, a star defender in the U.S. National Football League (NFL), had a degenerative brain disease linked to athletes who suffer chronic head trauma associated with violent sports, according to The New York Times.
Seau, who killed himself last year, is the latest former NFL player now known to have had the disease, which is called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). In May 2011, researchers confirmed that Dave Duerson, another NFL defensive star who committed suicide, had CTE; it was also found in the brain of Andre Waters, a third former NFL defender who killed himself. Overall, researchers at Boston University have found CTE in all but one of the 19 brains of former NFL players they have studied, according to The New York Times.

Convective snow over the higher lowlands
There is snow falling in convective showers tonight. The air aloft is cool and heavy showers can drive the snow level down to the surface due to evaporation and melting.
The latest radar shows a strong band over the northern Sound...this is not your classical PS convergence zone, but rather a secondary convergence zone in the lee of Vancouver Island...something we don't talk about much. There is convergence and resulting upward motion between northerly flow moves southward down the Strait of Georgia and westerly inflow through the Strait. Check the wind plot below to see this.

Brake Master Cylinder at 1A Auto
What is a brake master cylinder and where is it located?
The brake master cylinder is an important part of the braking system. It applies hydraulic pressure to the brake pistons to slow down the vehicle's wheels. When the driver presses on the brake pedal, it pushes forward a pushrod, which in turn pushes a set of pistons inside the master cylinder. This pushes out brake fluid, which creates hydraulic pressure. Fluid hoses carry that pressure to the brake pistons at each wheel. In disc brakes, the caliper pistons squeeze the pads into the rotors to slow the wheels. In drum brakes, the wheel cylinder pistons push the brake shoes into the drums to slow the wheels.
The brake master cylinder actually contains two cylinders with two pistons, known as a tandem master cylinder. This is how it sends fluid to the front and the rear brakes. The pressure generated by the first cylinder pushes the piston in the second. Fluid will flow through both lines, activating the front and rear brakes. Internal valves determine how much pressure is sent to each brake.
The brake master cylinder can be found inside the engine compartment, attached to the firewall, opposite the brake pedal. In a manual transmission vehicle, it is next to the clutch master cylinder, further to the passenger's side of the vehicle. The fluid is contained in a plastic reservoir, which is often mounted on top of the master cylinder.
How do I know if my brake master cylinder needs to be replaced?
Over time, the seals inside the master cylinder can break down from use and cause fluid to leak out of the system. Signs of fluid leaking along the firewall or inside the vehicle by the brake pedal will indicate that the brake master cylinder needs to be replaced. Without proper fluid levels in the system, the brake pedal can feel soft and not allow for proper movement of the brake. A soft pedal is an early sign that something can be wrong with the brake master cylinder. If the pedal feels "spongy" when you press it, this can indicate that there is air in the hydraulic system. If the pedal sinks to the floor and stays there when you take your foot off, then there is definitely a leak in the brake system.
Because of the potential danger to yourself or other drivers, any problems with your brakes should be diagnosed and fixed as quickly as possible.
Can I replace a brake master cylinder myself?
Yes, it is possible to change your own brake master cylinder with basic automotive knowledge and tools. Be sure to have a catch pan ready for any fluid that may drain when you disconnect the master cylinder from the fluid reservoir. Once that is done, you'll have to disconnect the master cylinder from the brake pedal and unbolt it from the firewall. You'll also have to disconnect the wiring harness for the low fluid sensor if one is equipped. Some replacement brake master cylinders come with new brake fluid reservoirs, while others do not. If yours does not come with one, you will have to separate the fluid reservoir from the old master cylinder and reuse it. You may also have to reuse a valve that sits between the pushrod and the master cylinder.
When all that is done you can mount and reconnect the new master cylinder, refill the hydraulic fluid, and bleed the system. After doing so, you'll need to bleed the brake hydraulics; this may require the help of an assistant if you do not have a vacuum bleeder.
Need a brake master cylinder replacement?
Your brake master cylinder plays a major role in your vehicle's braking system, a system of which its importance cannot be overstated. Any time a part of your braking system begins to fail, it is a major safety concern and it should be replaced immediately. At 1A Auto, we carry a large selection of replacement brake master cylinders for many makes and models, and at great prices. Brake master cylinders from 1A Auto are all new, not rebuilt. They are made to original factory specifications for a trouble free direct replacement.
We also make shopping for a replacement brake master cylinder for your car, truck, SUV or van easy — we're here to help you select the right part for your vehicle!

Dan Himmelberger
Class of 2005
Major/Minor: Chemistry
Fueling The Future
Spending summers on the Chesapeake Bay changes a person. You become more in tune with the natural world and learn the importance of conserving and protecting our natural resources. For Dan Himmelberger '05, it not only influenced his choice of college, but also his career path.
Dan took his first chemistry course as a freshman and worked with Professor Rick Locker to analyze water samples and monitor levels of hydrocarbon pollutants in the Chester River. Sometimes, during their expeditions to collect water samples, the two would take their fishing rods. When Professor Marteel-Parish introduced green chemistry coursework at WC, Dan was hooked. In his senior year he completed an internship at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center on the Rhode River near Annapolis.
"I wasn't in the environmental studies program," says Himmelberger, who double-majored in history, "but the chemistry department is especially geared towards green chemistry and environmental chemistry. That definitely shaped my direction."
Today, Dan is pursuing a Ph.D. in chemistry at University of Pennsylvania, where he is part of a research team working to develop a solid fuel source to store hydrogen. The project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, seeks to develop an energy-efficient fuel storage mechanism for hydrogen-powered cars.
"There are many ways to store hydrogen," explains Dan. "We're working with amine-boranes, a chemical compound with a high weight percentage of hydrogen to compound. It's energy-dense."
With gasoline costs steadily rising, Dan thinks the public will demand alternative fuels, even as we adopt more energy-conscious lifestyles. Until hydrogen-powered cars become readily available, he says, "There are lots of things we could be doing now to save energy. If we built lighter-weight cars, it would make a huge difference."

EU's Advisor On Supporting Net Activists Previously Forced From German Government...By Net Activists
from the really-the-right-person? dept
The Vice President of the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda for Europe, Neelie Kroes, recently made quite a stir when she dubbed copyright "a tool to punish and withhold". Now she's back with two major projects: a pan-European open data stategy and the "No Disconnect Strategy":
European Commission Vice-President Neelie Kroes has invited Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, a former Federal Minister of Defence, and of Economics and Technology, in Germany, to advise on how to provide ongoing support to Internet users, bloggers and cyber-activists living under authoritarian regimes. This appointment forms a key element of a new "No Disconnect Strategy" to uphold the EU's commitment to ensure human rights and fundamental freedoms are respected both online and off-line, and that internet and other information and communication technology (ICT) can remain a driver of political freedom, democratic development and economic growth.
Of course, that's rather rich coming from a region where France already allows disconnections as punishments (HADOPI), and where the UK has legislation in place that will allow it to do the same (Digital Economy Act). But it turns out that the ironies are even deeper.
The reason that Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg -- once seen as a likely successor to Germany's current Chancellor, Angela Merkel -- is no longer the Federal Minister of Defence, and of Economics and Technology, is that he resigned when it emerged that he had plagiarized significant parts of his doctorate.
After initial denials, Guttenberg was forced to admit the extent of his plagiarism thanks largely to a crowdsourced wiki called GutenPlag (original German) offering "collaborative documentation of plagiarism", which went through his thesis searching for passages taken from elsewhere without acknowledgement. In total, it claims to have found "1218 plagiarized fragments from 135 sources, on 371 out of 393 pages (94.4%), in 10421 plagiarized lines (63.8%)." There's even an interactive, color-coded visualization of what happened where.
Certainly, Guttenberg has been punished: as well as losing his position in the German government, he was also stripped of his doctorate. But his appointment as (unpaid) advisor to the "No Disconnect Strategy" raises a question. Is somebody whose downfall was mostly brought about by a website and its crowdsourced revelations really the right person to lead a project that aims to support online activists?
There is also the issue of Guttenberg's multiple copyright infringements. This was investigated with a view to charges being brought, but then, as Wikipedia explains:
In November 2011, the prosecution dropped the charges, having found 23 relevant copyright violations but only marginal economic damage. Guttenberg had to make a payment of 20,000 Euros to a charitable foundation, the court ruled.
In jurisdictions with extreme copyright laws, that "marginal economic damage" argument wouldn't be enough to protect those accused of infringement from prosecution or from being disconnected. So again the question has to be: is Guttenberg really going to understand what "No Disconnect" means to human rights activists living under authoritarian regimes when he got off so lightly himself?

July 15, 2018, 9:55 pmZach Collins - C - Trail Blazers
Zach Collins scored 11 points on 5-of-9 shooting with eight rebounds, an assist and three blocks in Sunday's 95-80 win over the Celtics.
Collins wasn't playing against any stiff competition, but he's one of the more promising prospects on the Blazers roster. He looks comfortable out there and has the size and skill to take advantage of Summer League competition. There's also the bonus factor of his ability to stretch the floor and play decent defense, but with Jusuf Nurkic's four year extension, it'll be hard to find time for Collins.

June 17, 2019, 11:54 amJulius Randle - F - New Orleans Pelicans
The Knicks "like" Julius Randle, per the New York Post.
The Knicks want to go big-game hunting this summer, though the high-profile free agents they were rumored to be targeting all have stronger connections to other teams. If they do whiff on the biggest names, the Knicks could pivot to Randle's tier, with Marc Berman suggesting that the team could look at a longer-term deal. Randle is coming off a career season and would likely have tons of opportunity to run the show in New York. It's tough to assess anyone's fantasy value until the free agency dust settles, but the Knicks look like a great spot for Randle to post big numbers.

June 17, 2019, 11:41 amDarius Garland - G - College
According to Fletcher Mackel of NBC New Orleans, both the Bulls and Suns are interested in trading up to the No. 4 spot in the draft in an effort to draft Vanderbilt guard Darius Garland.
The Pelicans have been fielding offers for the No. 4 pick, and though Mackel isn't typically a newsbreaker this rumor is far from surprising. The Suns and Bulls draft 6th and 7th respectively, with the Pelicans likely to acquire a future first-round pick from either team in any deal as well. Both Phoenix and Chicago are rumored to be in the point guard market, with the Suns in particular also connected to UNC's Coby White, who figures to be available at the six spot. We'll see if the Pels can flip the pick prior to Thursday.

June 16, 2019, 8:33 pmJulius Randle - F - New Orleans Pelicans
According to Shams Charania, Julius Randle will not be picking up his $9M player option for next season and will be an unrestricted free agent.
Randle is coming off a sweet breakout season in 2018-19 and has his eyes set on a big payday from a team willing to fork out the dough. This move is not too surprising considering that the Pelicans' frontcourt could get a bit more crowded come draft day as the team is expected to select 6'6" big man Zion Williamson (Duke) with the first overall pick.

June 16, 2019, 8:14 pmKyrie Irving - G - Boston Celtics
According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, despite the recent traction that the Nets have gained towards building mutual interest with Kyrie Irving, the Lakers are still a potential landing spot for him now that they've traded for Anthony Davis.
Prior to the Nets rising to the top of the hill, the Lakers were rumored to be a serious option for Irving, especially after he mended fences with LeBron James. The Lakers' acquisition of AD (come July 6), does add some recruiting star power to the organization, so enticing a guard of Irving's caliber might just be their next big step towards competing for a title in 2019-20.

June 16, 2019, 7:00 pmKristaps Porzingis - F/C - Dallas Mavericks
Kristaps Porzingis (torn ACL) is expected to be 100 percent by the start of training camp, per Rick Carlisle.
The Mavs will need to get the restricted free agent under contract first, but it doesn't sound as though there are any doubts that Porzingis will be suiting up for the Mavs. KP will be an interesting name to track throughout the offseason and preseason, as his health will help stabilize his ADP. When healthy, Porzingis is an early-round talent and will finally be playing with another player (or players, depending on free agency) of his caliber in Dallas.

June 16, 2019, 5:41 pmBruno Fernando - C - College
Bruno Fernando was among a 12-man group to work out for the Jazz.
Fernando will become the first player born in Angola to be drafted next week, but where he falls is still up for debate. The Jazz pick at 23 and 53, so if they're going to take the plunge it will have to be in the first round. Fernando averaged 13.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.9 blocks for Maryland last season and the Jazz believe that he can develop a solid outside shot. Fernando's defensive abilities give him an intriguing fantasy outlook, though his playing time will obviously be determined by his landing spot. The other headliners of Utah's latest workout were Talen Horton-Tucker and Luguentz Dort. The Jazz also invited Terry Harris — the younger brother of free agent Tobias Harris — to the session.

June 16, 2019, 5:29 pmCoby White - G - College
Coby White and Nassir Little are scheduled to work out with the Wizards on Monday.
White's name is particularly interesting, as most mock drafts have him off the board before Washington selects at No. 9. It would only take one or two surprises to put White within their reach, however, so it could be some due diligence mixed with wishful thinking. The Wizards should be going with the best player available strategy, but it is worth noting that White is a 6'5″ guard and Little is a 6'6″ forward given how the Wizards currently have most of their salary tied up in the backcourt.

June 16, 2019, 5:22 pmVlatko Cancar - F - Denver Nuggets
Nuggets President of Basketball Ops Tim Connelly thinks that Vlatko Cancar could join the Nuggets this season.
Playing in Spain this season, Denver's second-rounder from the 2017 draft put up 10.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per contest while shooting 46.4 percent from the field. Last summer he scored 9.0 points per game with the Nuggets in Summer League, and his continued growth has made an impression on Denver's top brass. "I thought he had a very big summer league last summer, he's a guy who's going to wear a Nuggets uniform sooner rather than later," said Connelly. Cancar is a name to know in deep dynasty formats but we don't envision him getting significant minutes if he makes the team.

June 16, 2019, 3:21 pmAnthony Davis - F/C - Los Angeles Lakers
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Pelicans and Lakers will complete the Anthony Davis trade on July 6.
July 6 is the first day that trades can be processed and it will drastically impact the Lakers' cap space. The Lakers would rather process the trade in late July, at least 30 days after the draft, so that they will have $32.5 million in cap rather than $23.4. Wojnarowski also reported that Davis is unlikely to waive his $4 million trade kicker which will also hamper LA's cap space. If the Lakers can't put together enough for a max contract player, it'll throw a big wrench into free agency. With this story constantly evolving, stay tuned for updates.

June 16, 2019, 9:56 amClint Capela - C - Houston Rockets
The Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets are considered to be the two main teams exploring trade scenarios for Clint Capela according to Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders.
With the biggest trade chip of the summer in Anthony Davis off the table, Capela figures to be next in line to draw significant interest around the league. In the Celtics scenario, Capela could either play alongside Horford or become his replacement depending on what Horford decides on his player option. However, seeing how reluctant they were to include some of their big assets in the AD trade, the same could be the case here. For the Brooklyn side it would be tough to imagine them pulling off a deal for Capela that doesn't involve moving Jarrett Allen, as the two have too similar of games to really play them together. This is all obviously very much in the speculation stage, but it is worth keeping an eye on both of these teams in regards to the Rockets' big man as the summer's arms race heads into full swing.

From: Justin Ledvina
Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it seems virtually impossible to make money online.
You spend months and months working away diligently, yet despite all this, the rewards just don't seem to come...it is as if the decks are stacked against you.
Even when you do all the things that you are told you must do, the process of making money online is painfully slow. You might as well be swimming against a very stong tide.
Yes it is possible to make a few dollars here and there but a few dollars won't pay the bills. Everybody says "just be patient" and "take your time" but patience doesn't pay the bills either!
Even when you use an auto responder to start building a list you still have to write a series of emails and that can be such a daunting process. It can be hard to know exactly what to say...what information to include...what to leave out...how to structure the email...how many to send...how often.
You could be forgiven for thinking that it is almost as if the whole system is rigged to benefit the program owner and the poor old affiliate marketer is left to fend for themselves.
If that sounds like you and you have reached the point that you are ready to pull your hair out with frustration then read on…because the process of making money online has just changed forever.
Here at TimTech we recently got together and asked ourselves a very simple question…
The question was so simple that it is amazing nobody has ever given it any serious thought until now.
It was this:
"Why don't we build a system that puts our affiliates first?"
Then after less time than it takes to say: "Let's do it!" we were already making plans and within minutes the basic framework of Kore4 was taking shape.
- put affiliates first
- meet the needs of all affiliate marketers from experienced 'old-hands' to day one beginners
- be simple to use and understand
- not require a huge up-front investment
- be able to pay for itself quickly
- have the ability to allow affiliates to make serious money quickly
- offer very generous commissions
- offer a stress-free solution to making money online
- leverage the power of TimTech's industry leading products
"Kore4 is what you have been waiting for...and it is here now"
It takes all the mystery out of making money online and has the ability to transform your online business into one that actually works for you and makes you money right from the outset.
But before we go any further, let's be clear on a couple of things:
- This is no shiny new object.
- You still have to work hard at building your business and promoting your efforts online - it is your business and you must still work at it - it is just that we have made the 'work' part easier than ever before. In fact once you realise the potential of Kore4 you won't think of it as work at all.
TimTech believes in 'evergreen' products and services - those that will be around for the long term so that you, as a valued affiliate, can promote with confidence and be safe in the knowledge that you are building up a business on really solid and secure foundations.
Kore4 is designed around the four TimTech industry-leading traffic exchanges: Sweeva, ILoveHits, ThumbVu and StartXchange, plus the training program ClickTrackProfit.
In the past there were two options with traffic exchanges - join as a free member or upgrade to get the extra benefits offered by the paid option. If you joined several traffic exchanges (which most people do) and wanted to upgrade in them all to get the best membership levels, then you could be looking at a hefty combined monthly charge to pay for it all.
Paid or free, then you promote the advantages of the programs to others, build your downlines and earn affiliate commissions. While most, if not all, programs have an affiliate toolbox with resources to help your promotional efforts, there is still that nagging feeling that you are more or less on your own.
It is very true that some people can make a very good income from this method and they have the knack of being able to come up with the advertising that stands out and works.
For others - despite working really hard and diligently - they never get the results they long for...no matter how hard they work. (If this sounds like you then read on, you are going to find what comes next very interesting indeed.)
Kore4 does more than any single upgrade ever could...it gives your online business the biggest boost possible...a rocket-fueled, turbo-charged super kick-start, the likes of which you won't find anywhere else.
When you join Kore4 you are automatically upgraded in all these TimTech programs - in a mind-blowingly super upgrade and, even better than that, you now have an opportunity to make some very serious money indeed.
Kore4 offers massive 50 per cent commissions and it can see you in profit faster than you could ever imagine possible.
Put it like this, with just two referrals your membership is paid and everything else is pure profit for you.
"Kore4 members get our highest ever upgrade package with exclusive bonuses that will never be offered to anyone else."
We have put together an unbeatable package of bonuses which will really help ramp up the advertising potential of every single Kore4 member.
We know that it can be hard to pay for multiple upgrades, credits, CTP goodies and banner impressions but we also know that these are vital for you to get the most out of your online business.
Thankfully Kore4 has that covered.
The moment you sign up you are part of a very special club where privileged access to some totally awesome advertising resources are immediately at your disposal.
You will get:
- more perks than any of our other members
- special perks that are not available to other members and never will be offered to other members
- the highest possible upgrade to all five of our sites which simply cannot be obtained elsewhere
- additional rolling bonuses in the form of "mystery perks" which come out on a monthly basis - you'll really want to grab hold of these and only Kore4 members can do so
- access to a special "Kore4 only" exclusive forum where we will share some of our most guarded business secrets that we would never talk about anywhere else.
"The Kore4 Forum provides unprecedented access to TimTech staff where we will give away awesome nuggets we don't generally ever share."
Just as a taster of what all this means, at CTP you will get a bumper package of tokens, batteries, wand charges and prize wheel spins every month. Keep them for yourself or use them as prizes or "goodies" to give to your downline as you see fit...it is totally up to you. You also get instant and unrestricted access to all the training videos - everything is unlocked as we have turned off the drip-feed for Kore4 members. We know you are a step ahead of the game already so you don't need to be drip fed information - just dip in and out of it when you see fit. You decide what you want to see and when.
At ILoveHits we have brought back Henry Hour but Henry is only appearing for Kore4 members. Once week, and totally at random, he will show up to give you extra surfing credits so you can really rack up those credits in double fast time. Here's a big tip - why don't you combine Henry Hour with one of your free D batteries (the most powerful batteries we have) and Nerd Surf to really rack up those credits at a speed only available to Kore4 members?
At ThumbVu enjoy double the number of CTP badges than free members get (a CTP badge can be claimed every 25 pages), get two squares on the ThumbMaster game each time you play and have the ability to list 50 sites and 50 banners as part of the overall Kore4 package of benefits.
At StartXchange you will receive 1,500 credits and 30,000 banner impressions per month, with a 1:1 banner exchange ratio. Also you will pick up 100,000 activity points per month and become Team Leader qualified just because you are a Kore4 special member.
We are currently making massive changes at Sweeva - until now this has been a closely guarded TimTech secret - but Kore4 members will see the changes first. Every Kore4 member will be invited to take part in the Sweeva Beta team - an exclusive club within an already exclusive club. Big things are happening at Sweeva...be part of this exciting change and be the first with the "inside-track" on what is going on.
OK so let's show you in detail exactly what you will get at each of the Kore4 sites:
As a Kore4 member just look what you will get from CTP each and every month. How you use all these goodies is up to you but make sure you use them!

Pretty impressive or what? But it gets even better.
"Why building your online business has now become easier than ever before - even if you have never earned a cent online !"
With Kore4 not only are you getting some of the most essential tools needed to build your online business, but a fantastic opportunity to make a serious income by showing others how to build their online businesses too.
With just two referrals you make $30 per month and everything after that is pure profit for you.
Just bringing in three new people a month would give you a monthly income of $540 after a single year. The earnings potential really is up to you...the more you treat this as a real business the more money you can make.
Imagine if you could get ten people to sign up each month - do that for a year and your monthly income would now rise to $1,800.
"But I already have a lifetime membership at one or more of these sites - how does this affect me?"
If you are already lifetime members at any of the five Kore4 sites then you will love what we have in store for you.
Because we value our customers we have an extra special deal for you - lifetime members at any of the five sites are automatically given access to an ultra exclusive, top-tier membership level - Kore4+ - and you will receive something we have never even considered doing before...ever.
For each new member you refer, you will receive 100 per cent commission on their first month of membership (with 50 per cent commissions for the following months.) Yes you did read that correctly. Your Kore4+ membership offers 100 per cent commissions for every new member you refer for their first month.
This is our way of not only saying 'thank you' to our most valued customers, but by doing so in a real, tangible way - Kore4+ really is an exclusive club with exclusive benefits that even Kore4 members cannot get.
Now isn't that exciting? So let's set this out in a table so you can see how this super bonus can really add up...
"Now is the time to take control of your life and set your own business agenda."
You will have to treat this as a serious business but your reward can be a serious income and the chance to be your own boss and set your own agenda:
- Imagine no more arrogant bosses telling you what to do, how to do it and when to do it...all so that you can make somebody else rich.
- Imagine no more commute into work where you share an office with people you don't really like but are forced to get on with.
- Imagine being able to throw the alarm clock away - the joys of being able to make a real income on your own terms means that you won't need any alarm to get you up in the mornings anyway (and if you do sleep in by an hour every now and again it is no big deal.)
- Imagine being able to choose your own hours, so that you don't have to ask permission to make time for important family social events, or apply to some line manager for permission to take a day off or get your vacation on dates that actually suit you.
With Kore4 you can stop imagining and start work on turning your online dreams into reality.
We want to give you the best possible means of building your own business. Notice we don't say that this is an automatic "set it and forget it" money making system where everything is done for you on autopilot...it isn't.
There is real work involved here and the more dedicated and focused you are to putting in the time and effort to make your business work the more you can profit.
Design your own squeeze pages, write a series of autoresponder follow up emails and you are good to go.
But wait.
What if you hate designing squeeze pages and the thought of having to write a series of emails from scratch fills you with dread?
Well, we've thought of that too.
We've made building your list as simple as it is ever likely to be. We provide the squeeze pages - all you have to do is put in your RocketResponder user name into it and promote it...everything else is done for you:
- You don't have to set up a special list...we've done that for you
- You don't have to write a single email...we've written them for you also
- You don't have to worry about 'selling' the main benefits of Kore4 to others...that's all included in the email series we've written
- You need never feel lost or alone when things go wrong...remember that you have access to the exclusive Kore4 forum where you can seek help from other Kore4 members AND gain top tips from TimTech too.
Kore4 is exciting and has the potential to change your life forever. It is the biggest and best deal ever offered by TimTech and we feel sure you are just going to love it, so don't waste any more time just dreaming of how your online business could be...sign up today and turn your dreams into reality.
When we said we wanted to design a program to put our affiliates first we really meant it...welcome to Kore4...welcome to YOUR Kore4. Join today and start a wonderful online journey with awesome earnings potential.
Even if you have tried online before and failed just put all that behind you and start afresh with Kore4, the program built by TimTech to give you more.
To Your Success,
P.S. Kore4 is our ultimate affiliate program, which has been designed for simplicity, ease of use and, above all to get our affiliates making money faster than ever before and then building a residual income which can last for years.
