Islamists smash Sufi saint's tomb in northern Mali

BAMAKO (Reuters) - Heavily armed Islamist fighters in Mali destroyed the tomb of a local Sufi saint near Timbuktu on Saturday, witnesses said, the latest attack on traditional shrines in the rebel-occupied north.

The destruction of the tomb of Almirou Mahamane Assidiki in Goundam came just months after a number of other shrines in the UNESCO-listed city of Timbuktu, 90 km (55 miles) to the south, were reduced to rubble, underscoring the threat to the region's ancient heritage from the rebels' extremist ideology.

"Last night they arrived in several vehicles and told the elders that the tomb of Saint Almirou would be destroyed," Aliou Ahmadou Toure, a resident in Goundam, told Reuters.

Local people tried to protest but were powerless to protect the shrine from men wielding shovels and pick-axes, Toure said.

"Some armed men surrounded the cemetery while a second group, chanting "God is Great", destroyed the tomb inside."

A local politician who was also in the town on Saturday confirmed the incident.

It was not immediately clear which of the Islamist groups controlling Mali's north was involved in the incident but they have previously said they are protecting Islam from idol worship.

Sufi Islam, which reveres saints and sages with shrines, is popular across much of northern Mali.

The rebellion - launched first by Tuareg separatists in January but since hijacked by Islamists - has forced more than 400,000 people from their homes and split the nation in two, with the Bamako government controlling just southern zones and mix of Islamist groups in the north.

Historians say cultural losses are also great, with attacks on tombs and shrines pulverizing part of the history of Islam in Africa, which includes a centuries-old message of tolerance.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - An Occupy Wall Street protester has lost his latest bid to prevent the Manhattan district attorney's office from using his tweets against him, clearing the way for the judge overseeing the case to unseal the tweets and give them to prosecutors.

Netanyahu says "red lines" stop war but do they?

BERLIN (AP) ? In a dramatic gesture, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu drew a "red line" on a diagram of Iran's nuclear program and called on the world to do the same to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons ? a step the Iranians insist they don't intend to take.

Red lines, Netanyahu declared, "don't lead to war." Instead, he argued Thursday before the U.N. General Assembly that "red lines prevent war" by making clear the limits of international tolerance.

Eytan Gilboa, an expert on U.S.-Israel relations at Bar Ilan University, said red lines are considered less severe a warning than an ultimatum, which includes a threat of consequences.

History shows that the effectiveness of such warnings often depends on a country's resolve to follow through and accept the consequences.

LINE IN THE SAND

On August 2, 1990, Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein sent soldiers and tanks into neighboring Kuwait and annexed the tiny, oil-rich nation as Iraq's 19th province. Six days later, President George H. W. Bush told Americans that "a line in the sand has been drawn" and ordered U.S. troops to Kuwait's neighbor Saudi Arabia.

Armed with a U.N. Security Council resolution and congressional authorization to use force, U.S. and allied jets launched air attacks on Baghdad and other Iraqi targets. The ground assault began Feb. 24 and within days the Iraqis had been driven out of Kuwait. Iraq accepted a cease-fire on March 3 and Kuwaiti sovereignty was restored.

CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS

One of history's most dangerous red-line moments came in October 1962 when U.S. President John F. Kennedy revealed to the world that the Soviet Union had been installing missile sites in Cuba, and demanded that Premier Nikita Khrushchev remove them. For 13 tense days, the world seemed headed for nuclear war. Kennedy declared a quarantine on all offensive military equipment headed for Cuba ? effectively a "red line" around the Caribbean island nation ? and threatened to turn back any ships carrying armaments. For their part, the Soviets tested a 300-kiloton hydrogen bomb as a reminder of Moscow's military might.

Ultimately behind-the-scenes negotiations produced a deal to avert nuclear holocaust. Khrushchev agreed to withdraw nuclear weapons from Cuba and Kennedy privately promised to decommission largely obsolete U.S. missiles in Turkey.

BERLIN AIRLIFT

In 1945 the victorious allies divided the Nazi German capital into Russian, American, British and French zones, with each occupying power getting full access to the entire city. The Soviets considered West Berlin, located 110 miles into the Communist-controlled east, as a thorn that should be eliminated. Access to the city was Moscow's red line.

Three years into the occupation, the Soviets began restricting Western rail, road and canal entry to West Berlin. With 1.5 million Soviet soldiers around the city, Moscow effectively presented the West with the choice of acquiescing to Soviet demands and leaving or seeing its part of the city starve.

In response, the U.S. and its allies began flying in thousands of tons of food, fuel and other supplies. By the spring of 1949, the airlift was bringing in more supplies than had been delivered by rail. The blockade was lifted in May 1949. West Berlin served as a Western outpost until the collapse of Communism and the reunification of Germany some 40 years later.

54-40 OR FIGHT

In the 1840s, the phrase "54-40 or fight" became the battle cry for American expansionists in the Democratic Party who wanted the United States to push the border of the Oregon Territory north to Alaska. The numbers referred to the latitude of Russian-controlled Alaska. Britain also claimed much of the territory, now the Canadian province of British Columbia, and called the Americans' bluff, threatening war if that's what the hawks wanted.

The United States, already embroiled in a conflict with Mexico, was in no position to challenge the world's foremost military power. The issue dragged on until 1871 when the U.S., exhausted by four years of civil war, signed a treaty recognizing the border with Canada ? well south of the "54-40 or fight" demand.

Why Is Breitling And Other Swiss Brands Highly Sought After?

People new to the watch buying industry will often see high price tags on Swiss watches. They will also quickly notice that Swiss-made watches are easily the most popular, the most highly acclaimed, and the most sought after. But why? What separates a Swiss watch from everything else? What makes a devout horologist scoff at a watch that was not made in Switzerland?

To learn the answer, one only needs to look to the history of timekeeping to understand why. The Swiss certainly were not the first to keep track of time--that has been done since the beginning of civilization. Although wristwatches did not pop up until fairly recently, the Swiss were still involved in other timekeeping devices, as early as the 16th century. And it was then that the country began to develop a reputation thanks to accurate time standards and their involvement in automatic, self-winding watches. Swiss watchmakers even created the Watchmakers' Guild of Geneva in 1601, the first to be established anywhere.

Call it luck of the draw or just chance, but several inventors were Swiss and propelled watch technology forward. For example, pendant-winding watches were invented by Adrien Philippe, one of the founders of Patek Philippe. Soon after we saw the birth of the perpetual calendar and the chronograph--all in Switzerland. It only made sense that once the wristwatch became a popular timepiece it would be produced in Switzerland. People from around the world had watchful eyes for the country and soon become reliant on them for superior quality. Watch aficionados' expectations never ceased because the country continually produces luxury watches that stand far above the competition.

Today, companies like Breitling, Tag Heuer, and Omega are seen as exemplars of fine watchmaking. Breitling made a name for itself in aviation watches, while Tag Heuer and Omega specialize in sports watches, as well as elegant luxury timepieces. All are created with expert craftsmanship, and like all Swiss watches, each must be manufactured entirely in Switzerland--which partly explains the high price tag.

Tag Heuer and Breitling watches are not the only popular Swiss brands, and they will not be the last. Companies such as these have been around for over a century, having already made established names for themselves. The question customers have to ask themselves is, "Is it worth it to purchase a Swiss-made watch?" The short answer is yes. It is rare to find precision, accuracy, and beauty such as this among other brands. No watch collection will ever truly be complete without a watch with a Swiss-made stamp on the back.

The Watchery provides customers with luxury brand names watches at discounted prices. With a collection that includes Tag Heuer, Cartier, Breitling, and more, shoppers can choose from a varied selection of highly sought after designer watches.

Warning signs seen before actor's violent end

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? An attorney said Friday he believes a drug-induced psychosis was responsible for an outburst by an actor that police say ended in the slaying of his landlady before the former "Sons of Anarchy" cast member plunged to his death.

Johnny Lewis, 28, had been arrested three times during the past year and officials were concerned about his mental health and the danger he posed to others. His lawyer Jonathan Mandel, who represented Lewis in the criminal cases, said drugs may have been a factor in the actor's final hours.

"He probably had gotten into marijuana or some medication and that caused him to snap," Mandel said. "If you take certain drugs it triggers that psychosis. A lot of people don't come back."

Authorities said they were still searching for a motive behind the strangulation death of 81-year-old Catherine Davis.

Authorities found Davis and Lewis dead Wednesday after neighbors reported a woman screaming inside her home that had been ransacked, and where glass was shattered and a dead cat was found. Neighbors said a man jumped a fence and attacked a painter and homeowner next door.

Investigators are awaiting toxicology tests for Lewis to determine whether he had drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of his death.

"(Lewis) being under the influence is something we are looking at based on his behavior and based on what people have told us about his past," said police Cmdr. Andrew Smith.

The body of Lewis, who played Kip "Half-Sack" Epps on the TV drama "Sons of Anarchy," was found in a driveway, and he could have jumped or fallen from the roof, garage or balcony, or tumbled down stairs from a patio area, Smith said. Police said Lewis is the only suspect in the death of Davis.

Probation officials earlier this year expressed concern about Lewis' mental health. The report was prepared in a case in which Lewis was accused of attempting to break into the home of a woman. That case came about six weeks after Lewis hit two men over the head with a Perrier bottle during a fight.

The probation official wrote of being "very concerned for the well-being of not only the community but that of the defendant."

The report added Lewis suffered from some form of chemical dependency and mental health issue, and was a transient.

"Given this, (Lewis) will continue to be a threat to any community he may reside," it said

Lewis was released from Los Angeles County Jail a week ago, according to court records. He had pleaded no contest to assault with a deadly weapon and attempted burglary in separate cases, documents show.

Lewis was earning about $20,000 a year as an actor and he had been living with his parents when he was first arrested in January. Two probation reports note that Lewis was ordered to stay away from drugs.

Mandel, the attorney, said no drugs were involved in the prior assault and attempted burglary cases. While Mandel knew Lewis had recent, serious mental health issues, he was stunned to learn what had happened.

"I thought the worst that would happen to him would be something dumb like walking on someone's property," Mandel said. "What is alleged of him is so out of the ordinary for him. No one could have envisioned that."

Lewis had been a Scientologist but dropped out in his early 20s, Mandel said. The move could have caused some friction between Lewis and some of his family, who also were Scientologists, although they had been trying to help him out with his troubled, Mandel said.

Mandel said he recommended treatment for Lewis but he declined it.

"I don't think he acknowledged he struggled with drugs," he said. "He felt that he was fine. I know he self-treated, but I don't know if he was an addict. It's certainly a possibility."

Lewis' career spanned more than a decade, mainly in small roles. Among his credits were "AVPR: Aliens vs Predator ? Requiem," two seasons on TV's "The O.C." and "Malcolm in the Middle." He was on "Sons of Anarchy" in 2008 and 2009 before his character was killed off.

3 Reasons Why Every Business Needs Product Reviews

For any company that wants to improve service provision and grow in the right direction, reviews on products have to be an important aspect of daily operations. The like it or don?t attitude of days gone by does not work anymore. Consumers have many providers to choose from and so it is your duty as a business owner to show them why you should be their preferred service provider. The customer has secured a place in today?s world as the most important player in any business transaction. Customer satisfaction comes first.

Consumers have the ability to create a chain reaction that starts with them using a particular product, liking or disliking it, expressing their satisfaction or dissatisfaction online and subsequent customers either buying or turning away from the brand. Such a chain of events has serious implications on a business and it is the role of the business owner to make sure that the implications are positive and not negative. The best way to do this is by allowing consumers to air their opinion in the form of reviews and then acting on the recommendations accordingly.

What weight do product reviews carry?

Several surveys have been carried out online and offline to try and find the extent to which a review by a consumer can influence purchasing behavior. Results indicate that many people will first look at the pricing of a service and product provider prior to making a purchase decision but they will inevitably also look at reviews about the product they find most fair priced.

The decision to buy or not is primarily determined by what a customer finds on the company website in the reviews section. There are also sites that specialize in featuring only product reviews and consumers often source for information from such sites. On average, 3-4 negative comments about a product will make the consumer look for an alternative to what they initially considered.

The reception of reviews by businesses has done many companies more good than any other strategy anyone can think of. Negative reviews can be used as turning points to leave from old ways and alter products and services to serve consumers better. Reviews do a lot for businesses and here are three invaluable benefits that any business can gain from honest and impartial reviews on products.

Promote change and product improvement

It is impractical to try and satisfy everyone?s needs as a service provider or business entrepreneur but you can certainly try to meet the needs of the most. While some reviews about your product will be partial and driven by other motives, most of them will be genuine and your clients will be reporting back genuine difficulties they have come across with your product. It may be a problem about difficulty to use the product, mechanical or compatibility problems in the case of software or some other type of problem. Whatever the case is, the company concerned should consider the review as a chance to improve on a product they already have to suit the needs of their clients. Happy clients buy more.

Highlight important sales opportunities

There is no denying that sales teams do a great job creating interest in your product and luring buyers. It is however also true that they may not be able to harness the full potential of the product and as a result under-sell the product. Reviews by customers highlight important aspects of the product that act as selling points. Missed opportunities can be pointed out by users and this can help improve the product or service greatly.

Creating brand awareness and validation

Many companies ignore or worse even block product reviews by consumers from appearing on their websites. Encouraging public participation improves online visibility for the product and brings you even more customers than before.

Know how Product Reviews, can help propel your business towards success. Also find a lot of information about the role of reviews in business.

(AP) ? A New York City auction will offer 125 meteorites for sale, including a large chunk of the moon and a 179-pound iron cosmic rock that evokes Edvard Munch's iconic painting "The Scream."

The sale, one of the largest of its kind, is being held by the Dallas-based Heritage Auctions on Oct. 14.

The sale also includes a large piece of the Peekskill meteorite, famous for puncturing a Chevy Malibu in 1992 about 50 miles north of Manhattan, and the largest complete slice of the most famous meteorite in the world, the Willamette, a huge specimen that is housed at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

The moon rock has the highest pre-sale estimate of $340,000 to $380,000; less than 0.1 percent of all meteorites recovered are lunar in origin. The 18-inch-tall meteorite, dubbed "The Scream," is estimated at $175,000 to $225,000.

"When I first saw this meteorite, I saw the resemblance in a heartbeat," said Darryl Pitt, who has consigned the piece to the auction. "It is sculpted in part by atmospheric entry and most significantly by its exposure to the elements on earth over millennia."

Three of the concave hallows are evocative of Munch's image of a man holding his head and screaming under a streaked sky. It is classified a Gibeon and was discovered in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa.

More than half of the meteorites in the sale come from the Macovich collection, the world's largest grouping of aesthetic iron meteorites ? specimens that are considered desirable for display.

Specimens from the collection are found at the natural history museums in London, New York and Paris and The Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., among others. Its principal owner is Pitt, who said that 20 years ago all meteorites were selling for the same price irrespective of their aesthetic attributes.

"That has radically changed with the introduction of the first natural history auction in the mid-1990s," he said in an interview. "I was on a mission to popularize meteorites. I knew that the only way I would be able to attract interest on the part of the public was to offer objects that were more visually captivating."

"The overwhelming majority of meteorites are not aesthetic," he said.

The cover lot in the sale is of an iron meteorite with naturally formed holes that resemble a mask. The catalog says it is "arguably the most exotically aesthetic" and was discovered by indigenous tribesmen in Namibia with a metal detector. It is estimated to bring $140,000 to $180,000.

The Peekskill piece has a pre-sale estimate of $47,500 to $55,000.

There are others that have lower estimates but come with interesting stories, like a small portion of a meteorite estimated at about $4,000 that fell from the sky in 1492. It was later chained up in a church so it couldn't fly back into orbit.

Meteorite prices today depend on many variables. But there are two main markets: one of aesthetic iron meteorites and the other is of samples whose value is predicated on attributes other than aesthetics, like a piece of the planet Mars.

About two dozen of the meteorites in the sale have museum provenance and have no reserve.

"The point is I wanted to create a sale that had something for everyone," Pitt said.

Must-Do Advertising For Solo Estheticians and Massage Therapists ...

Whether you are an esthetician, stylist or massage therapist ? going it all on your own has its challenges and benefits. Without a retail location, you might believe you are at a marketing drawback to salons or day spas. Little do you know, nearly all of those morning spas and retails spending a fairly penny for retail space are thinking YOU?RE a smart cookie? because you have no personnel and very little overhead. Just like anything else in existence, the grass is obviously greener on one other side. For making your solo exercise, here are must-do marketing measures to take to bring new clients.1. Get a marketing strategy. If you?re a huge Friends lover like me, the first season episode might be remembered by you when Phoebe laments ?Get a plan?! I actually do not really have a pluh.? And while it might appear overwhelming to produce one, it?s may actually make your life easier after you have one. The sweetness of a marketing strategy is that you know what you?re going to spend, do (and MAYBE not do) for marketing month by month. Should you choose not know the place to start, drop me a note or call me. With several calls and emails, I?ll reach know your budget, goals, background and help you create a plan that will put you in control.2. Create a client contact program. This is paper-based or using a client database on your computer. The target listed here is to remind you to reach out to customers you have seen before. Some events to get this done are:*Two days post treatment to see should they have any questions. Inquire about how they think about their skin (any flare-ups?), their neck/back/etc. that they described just before their rub or if they have any design concerns about their new cut.*Birthdays. You could be the only individual to send them a card!*If you have noticed them in six weeks ? or whatever could be your recommended period for the following service.*Three weeks after purchasing an item ? do they require more?*Client anniversary thank you ? annually they?ve been a client, send them a little thank you note. Hand prepared cards are so very unique these times, but email greeting cards are just as efficient as getting the point across that you recognize their loyalty.You can easily see that following client actions and creating a process to remind you of these points is essential.3. Incentive for referrals. Review my Cost-free Referrals guidelines and produce a process that works for you. Building your business by word of mouth may be the most affordable advertising around?don?t hesitate to be nice to clients you refer you. A $25 Star-bucks card for one consumer may save you from a $800 newspaper ad that brings in the same number of new consumers (you got?just one.) Number need for a fancy details system?your organization cards (yes you need ?em) is going to do the trick. Give your clients extras if they book an appointment and record on your cards: ?I develop my company through referrals and would be pleased to simply help your friends or relatives.?4. Power the Internet. Having an internet site is, in my humble opinion, absolutely crucial for any organization. Use lower cost located solutions like Inspirational Web Hosting or SpaBoom ? organizations that recognize yours and offer low cost and an easy task to use solutions. On your site, make sure you collect e-mails and allow instant surprise certification purchase. Online sales is really a nice advantage, however, not for all when you have to then ship out items quickly after getting the online order. If you are in cure room all day long, this might be cause a delay?just be careful to precisely set client expectations.While there are many more marketing activities I had suggest just like a professional brand, or producing a brochure, there are also things you shouldn?t waste money on. Avoid adverts and direct mail. The price will most certainly outweigh the power you had acquire as a single practitioner.Be sure to monitor your marketing pennies well. It?s important to be aware about how much (and where) you?re investing your marketing dollars so you can determine whether to continue or not.

Pennsylvanians give governor low marks on Sandusky probe: poll

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Most Pennsylvania voters give Governor Tom Corbett fair or poor marks for his investigation, as state attorney general, into reports that former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was sexually abusing children, a poll showed on Wednesday.

Only 17 percent of the state's voters think Corbett, who served as Pennsylvania's top prosecutor for two terms before becoming governor in 2011, did a good or excellent job investigating what became a scandal that shook college football, according to the Franklin & Marshall College Poll.

Some 65 percent said Corbett did a fair or poor job on the case that led to Sandusky's conviction in June for sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years.

G. Terry Madonna, the poll director, said the results reflect a sense that Corbett, a Republican who faces re-election in 2014, did not move the grand jury investigation fast enough and that he did not put enough manpower into the probe.

There are also questions about Corbett's decision to serve on Penn State's board of trustees after being elected governor, he said.

"The prospects that this will be over any time soon are not very good," Madonna said.

Kevin Harley, Corbett's press secretary, defended the governor's record on the Sandusky case.

"I would say the verdict of 45 (convictions) on 48 counts is a complete vindication of the thoroughness of the investigation," Harley said.

The scandal will generate headlines in coming months. Sandusky is scheduled to be sentenced on October 9, and one of his victims, now a young man, will testify, the man's lawyer said.

A series of civil lawsuits is expected to be filed by victims.

In January two former Penn State officials will face trial on charges they lied to a grand jury about the crime. They were cited in a report criticizing school leaders for staging a coverup to avoid bad publicity.

The telephone poll of 632 Pennsylvania voters, conducted September 18-23, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.

Consumer confidence at seven-month high in September

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Consumer confidence jumped to its highest level in seven months in September as Americans were more optimistic about the job market and income prospects, a private sector report showed on Tuesday.

The Conference Board, an industry group, said its index of consumer attitudes rose to 70.3 from an upwardly revised 61.3 in August. It was the highest level since February and topped economists' expectations for 63, according to a Reuters poll.

August was originally reported as 60.6.

"Despite continuing economic uncertainty, consumers are slightly more optimistic than they have been in several months," said Lynn Franco, director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center, said in a statement.

The expectations index climbed to 83.7 from 71.1, while the present situation index gained to 50.2 from 46.5.

Consumers' labor market assessment improved. The "jobs hard to get" index slipped to 39.9 percent from 40.6 percent the month before, while the "jobs plentiful" index rose to 8.3 percent from 7.2 percent.

Looking six months ahead, 16.3 percent expected income increases, up from 16 percent, while 14.1 percent anticipated decreases, down from 16.7 percent.

Consumers also felt better about price increases with expectations for inflation in the coming 12 months down to 5.8 percent from 6 percent.

Fire Safety at Oakwood Park Business Centre

Did you know in the UK in 2010/2011 there were over 24,900 fires in non residential buildings, sadly resulting in 19 deaths.

To help raise awareness of potential dangers in the workplace and improve safety, Aquafire Extinguishers recently conducted fire safety training for Oakwood Park tenants. As well as learning about the main causes of fire in the workplace, preventative strategies and best practice in the workplace, we were also shown the different types of extinguishers and how to operate them.

Orioles split with Jays, stand 1 1/2 back

By DAVID GINSBURG

AP Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 11:01 p.m. ET Sept. 24, 2012

BALTIMORE (AP) - The Baltimore Orioles dreaded this doubleheader ever since it became part of their schedule late last month.

Beating the same team twice on the same day is not an easy task, even if the opposition is a last-place club in the midst of a losing streak. And so, after Toronto earned a split with a 9-5 win Monday night, the Orioles shrugged their shoulders and looked ahead to another day of chasing the New York Yankees in the AL East.

"Very hard to sweep a doubleheader in the major leagues," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. "It wasn't from a lack of effort. That's why when you get a rainout, you try to play because you know the challenge ahead of you somewhere down the line. The Blue Jays have a lot of pride."

J.P. Arencibia broke open a tight game with a seventh-inning grand slam, leaving the Orioles 1 1/2 games out of first place in the division.

In the opener, Adam Jones went 4 for 4 with a homer and two RBIs to lead Baltimore to a 4-1 victory. But the Orioles lost a half-game in the standings to the Yankees, who won 6-3 at Minnesota.

The doubleheader came into being after the teams endured a rainout on Aug. 26.

"You never want to play games like this late in the season," Baltimore right fielder Chris Davis said. "But at the same time, if you can win both of them, you help yourself out. Obviously we weren't able to do that."

The Orioles fell behind 4-0 in the nightcap and missed several bases-loaded chances to take the lead before Arencibia connected off Jake Arrieta to give Toronto a 9-4 cushion.

"I think anytime you strand guys on base you know it's a missed opportunity," Davis said.

Edwin Encarnacion hit his 41st home run for the Blue Jays, who snapped a seven-game skid. Arencibia, who came into the game mired in a 2-for-36 slump, finished with three hits and five RBIs.

Toronto long ago fell out of playoff contention, but the Jays were reminded how fun it is while performing before an enthusiastic crowd of 31,015.

"It's pretty impressive the atmosphere they have here," Arencibia said. "It's a lot of fun to play in that kind of atmosphere."

Ricky Romero (9-14) allowed four runs, eight hits, four walks and a homer in five-plus innings. But a strong performance by the Toronto bullpen enabled the left-hander to end a 13-game losing streak over 15 starts since June 22.

"Good for him and good for us," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. "We needed a win and it's been a long time since Ricky's had a W."

Encarnacion put the Blue Jays up 2-0 against Wei-Yin Chen (12-10) with a two-run drive in the first inning. In the second, Arencibia hit a sacrifice fly and Anthony Gose added an RBI single.

Robert Andino singled in two runs in the bottom half, but Baltimore left the bases loaded. Nate McLouth hit an opposite-field drive to left in the fifth to get Baltimore to 4-3, but the Orioles again left the bases full.

After Moises Sierra homered for Toronto in the sixth, the Orioles loaded the bases with no outs in their half, bringing many in the crowd to their feet. Brad Lincoln replaced Romero and gave up a first-pitch RBI single to J.J. Hardy before striking out Jones. Davis followed with a fly ball to Gose in left field, and Taylor Teagarden was thrown out at the plate after tagging up.

Baltimore also loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth, but scored only once on a double-play grounder.

In the first game, Orioles rookie Steve Johnson (4-0) allowed three hits over five shutout innings to lower his ERA to 1.62. Half his big league wins have come against Toronto.

Although the Blue Jays got two runners on base in three of the first four innings, Johnson worked out of trouble on each occasion.

Jim Johnson, the fifth Baltimore pitcher, worked the ninth for his major league-best 48th save in 51 opportunities.

Jones' four hits tied a career high. Now in his seventh season, Jones has already set career highs with 32 homers and 101 runs, and the All-Star center fielder needs only three RBIs to eclipse his previous high of 83, set last year.

Jones added a single and a double in the nightcap and has hit safely in 19 of 23 games in September, with six home runs and 13 RBIs.

"Adam relishes competition," Showalter said. "He's obviously had a heck of a year. He's turning into quite a player."

Henderson Alvarez (9-14) gave up four runs, eight hits and three walks in 5 2-3 innings. He is 2-7 in his last 10 starts.

In the fourth, Davis walked and Jones followed with a drive to left to put Baltimore up 2-0. Ryan Flaherty hit a solo shot in the fifth, and Jones singled in the sixth and came home on a double-play grounder.

Toronto scored in the eighth on an RBI double by Rajai Davis. With runners on second and third and two outs, Darren O'Day came in to strike out Kelly Johnson.

NOTES: Toronto purchased the contracts of RHPs Shawn Hill and Bobby Korecky and transferred LHP J.A. Happ (foot) to the 60-day DL. ... Orioles LHP Randy Wolf is experiencing discomfort in his left elbow and will undergo an MRI on Tuesday. ... Seventeen of Jones' HRs have given the Orioles the lead. Baltimore is 23-8 when he homers. ... Toronto's first-game defeat was its sixth straight in Baltimore, its longest single-season skid in Charm City since 1980. The Orioles are 10-6 against the Blue Jays, clinching their first season series win over Toronto since 2004. ... Omar Vizquel got two hits to move into a tie with Mel Ott for 40th on the career list with 2,876.

Basic Tips And Strategies On Affiliate Marketing | Internet Marketing ...

Due to their low start-up costs and apparent ease of management, many webmasters are tempted to employ affiliate marketing systems. The entire stocking, handling, and shipping process is seen to by the vendor, not the webmaster. However, affiliate marketing has nuances that sometimes require careful attention.

Try to sell something that is quite popular already. A lot of webmasters avoid the most popular affiliate marketing products, thinking that the competition will be too tough to deal with. Generally speaking, however, it is often much easier to enjoy high sales rates in a proven niche than it is in a relatively unpopular niche. You should remember that the popular niches have a buyer pool that is already primed for the products and connecting with them is the only challenge. Your priority is finding a way to distinguish yourself from the competition, no matter what niche you get into.

Disclose your affiliations to your readers. Customers will know you are honest and be more likely to buy.

Only put your stamp of approval on products you believe in. Whatever you recommend should be a reflection on your business. Customers will have more faith in your business if you recommend other good products. A good way to keep your customers is to continue promoting good products that have good prices.

If you have banner ads, you should put a trivia question on one and make it so that the user has to visit your site in order to get the answer. Most people will be unable to leave without clicking on the banner. Entice your visitors by providing discounts to those who answer the questions correctly.

Don?t clutter your website with too many banner ads. This will make your site look horrible and drive off potential customers. Your site should be mostly content, not banners, and the banners that are there should be spread out across the page.

When someone visits your themed website with that particular theme in mind, that is what they are thinking about. Unless the link is sports related, placing a link on an affiliate site can not help you. If the site has relevant links, people will be more likely to access them.

Use various venues for advertising affiliate products. There are those that find their products online. Other customers like a physical brochure or enjoy seeing a product on a flier. Some are avid coupon clippers and like to get a discount. As you expand the scope and format of your advertising, you will grab the attention of many potential new clients.

Always be truthful and let your readers know that you are making money when they buy using your links. Your readers understand when you put up a link to an affiliate so do not try and hide it. Through this act of integrity your business is surely to grow.

If you want to be successful at affiliate marketing, know your audience. Understanding their wants, and needs is a smart marketing move. Analyze your site traffic to determine what is driving the most people to your site. What do your customers look for when they visit your site?

Do business with those affiliate companies that provide resource support to their affiliates. These companies are in it to make profit just like you are. They know the ins and outs of marketing and what techniques are effective,. Those affiliate companies that share their selling secrets do better in the marketplace. That means better sales for them and higher commissions for you.

Show potential customers pictures of customers using the product. By giving your potential customer a lot of good information, you are helping him or her to decide whether or not to trust you and purchase your product. This can lead to good word-of-mouth advertising in the future.

Often, communicating not only protects, but also strengthens, the bond with affiliate partners. Frequent communication works as a way to protect your affiliate revenue stream. Good affiliates are worth their weight in gold, and so you must ensure you hang onto them.

Acting on tips from a few sources can be more effective than reading dozens of different opinions. You put in time with no compensation upfront, as well as take the risk of not making any money. Recognize that if you continually research new techniques and never apply any, you?re stalling. Choose a few good tips, put down the books, and put what you?ve learned into action.

Proving that you are a legitimate affiliate marketer takes some strategic finesse. Your links should be more subtle. You want your customers to be comfortable buying through you.

Choose your affiliates with your target market in mind. Make sure that the advertising on your site matches what your site is selling. Those who visit your site have expectations about the content, including ads, they might see. Place ads that cater to your customers and take advantage of this idea.

When you start your affiliate marketing venture, take the time to locate affiliates that can offer you the types of products and services that you are interested in promoting. Entering into agreements with a vast range of affiliate networks will give you multiple lines of income. Do some research before you accept an affiliate to ensure that you feel comfortable promoting them.

Learn about how the affiliate marketing program tracks outside orders when you choose a program. If your site visitors place orders on the affiliate?s site and those purchases are not properly linked to your ID, then you run the risk of losing a good amount of commission.

For the most profitable affiliate marketing program, retain only those affiliates who have proven they can make you money. Watch how your affiliates perform on a regular basis. Never be afraid to cut ties with an affiliate that doesn?t make you any money, and go with someone who is more profitable.

Continue to reach your goals beyond making a profit. If you work hard all of the time you will see your income go up. It may be difficult to invest the time and patience at first, but in the end, it will be well worth your while.

Expert Advice For Helping Your Home Business! | The Board ...

While home businesses are worthwhile, there is still fear associated with starting one. Where to begin? What do you have to do to produce results? Before you start your business, there are many things that have to be figured out. This article will help you answer those questions, and give direction on how you can make a home-based business succeed.

Join a couple of discussion groups and forums that discuss the topic of home business. You can easily search out some good ones and obtain useful information from them. Blogs can be a great source of information as well.

TIP! If your business will hinder you, and your family you should think about going with something else. If it starts to be a problem for your family, you should think up a different type of business.

Your website should include a banner page. That way, you can have a banner exchange program with partnered businesses. This affordable method of increasing traffic is simple and beneficial to all parties.

When you keep a diary of what you spend, you will be able to see what you are doing with your money. This can save you when you get audited. Also, while filing taxes, this can help resolve any kinds of issues with tax deductions.

TIP! While jogging your brain for ideas about your home business products, be sure to to find something that meets certain needs you have. People buy items that fulfill their everyday needs.

Always focus on what?s to come rather than what?s already happened. Try to remember that your past successes are in the past. Instead, it is important that you concentrate on events which will occur the next day or week. You will then be prepared to tackle any future problems and seize any lucrative opportunities that present themselves. You will be prepared to handle whatever comes your way.

Business cards are a good thing to have. You can find business card offers online for free or very cheap. Be certain to include the basic information like name, phone number, email address and your website. Include your email address and the URL to your website on the card. This will make it easier for your customers to reach you in a variety of ways.

TIP! Deposit your money as soon as payments are received. Make daily deposits.

When you start a home business, seek out people who will support you. If there are none available, gather up other home business owners with a view to starting your own. Even though some of the people will not be in the same type of business, you will share with them the dedication and drive to make your home business a total success.

Create an objective for your home business. Keep the objective short, but fully describe how your company operates. If you create an objective, you will have an answer ready when someone asks you to describe your business. This will help you sound confident when you are talking about your company, and this confidence will be apparent to your customers.

TIP! Solicit feedback about your products, website, and business. Ask friends and family for their thoughts, pay a few people on sites like fiverr.

Make sure that you always dress for success. It is easy when you work from home to just stay in your pajamas all day. Dress business casual, as you would for most jobs outside the home. Dressing for success will put you in a mindset to be productive.

If you are starting a new home-based business, then you need an effective website. This gets your message out to the widest audience possible and will definitely increase sales. Use a professional service to set up your website.

TIP! Design your business?s website to sell products. Many small, home-based businesses limit themselves by ignoring the opportunities of the Internet.

The support and even assistance of any relatives who live with you is critical to a successful home based business. Operating a home business takes up a great deal of time, and can be fraught with hardships and stress. You need to have the support of your family if you want to be able to start a successful home business.

If you run a home-based daycare, make sure you hire enough help to properly tend to the children. Being overrun by kids, because you are the only one taking care of them, is an unnecessary pain.

TIP! When you decide to start a home based business, hire an attorney. The attorney can brief you on laws that apply to your business, helping you avoid problems.

If you are working and living in the same spot, it can be easy to get bogged down in work. You should separate your work and personal life by establishing a specific work zone, as well as setting clear work hours to leave time for your personal life.

Begin a meal or other service catering to people who are busy. Brainstorming will generate many ideas for helping people in your town or city.

TIP! Make sure you have a separate business account so there are records of business transactions. Use your business checking account for all your business purchases.

Seek out the locations of your customers and make an effort to communicate with them directly. Making a real world connection with your customers can sometimes be better than reaching them online. Organize events that are in their areas.

Your home business should have a thorough business plan. You can make adjustments to this business plan as needed. You could also start another one from scratch if you see it is not working. But the initial importance of your smart business plan cannot be overstated; nor can the many benefits it will provide. Update your business plan periodically.

TIP! You will succeed if you are motivated to make your home business successful. You may want to build your own home office that your customers can enter, since many counties have office regulations.

Differentiate personal time from work time by having regular working hours and be sure to stick to them. Set a time for your business to close, and stop working at that time every day. Remember your family, friends, and especially yourself.

There are tons of home based business owners that talk online. Investigate forums and message boards, both those devoted to your business niche and those outside it. Good advice about running home based businesses sometimes comes from unexpected places, especially even businesses that are not in your niche.

TIP! Find competitive rates of businesses in your local area when trying to start your own. Base your rates on these businesses while trying to remain competitive.

You need to be patient. Your home business will not make thousands of dollars overnight. A home business doesn?t happen overnight, but with time and effort, you will gain the experience to make it a success. Be consistent. That, in addition to patience, will take you far.

Be sure that your home business is safe and meets all standards. This is especially important if you will have children around. You may want to set some ground rules and/or invest in some security equipment to keep sensitive items safe. Protecting your family and your business is a key item to focus on. Your business is always prone to being inspected, even if your office is in your home.

TIP! Always deduct client meetings from your taxes when they involve expenditures such as lunch or other forms of entertaining. In these cases, these meetings are actual business expenses.

As was mentioned earlier in this article, a home business can be both appealing and intimidating. Hopefully you have gleaned some good information and advice from the tips shared in this article. Put that advice into action, and watch as things begin to work more smoothly for your home business

IF you run a home business, you should have a dedicated checking account just for the business. Your personal information will thus be kept separate from all transactions related to the business. Separating your business and personal accounts will make things a whole lot easier when tax season rolls around. You are much less likely to make mistakes on your taxes if your business and personal accounts are separate.

TIP! There are a myriad of reasons that any home business owner MUST organize and retain all of their receipts! The fact that you run your own business makes any related expenditure, such as transportation, supplies and equipment, tax deductible. Make it a habit to put every receipt into a designated spot for storage, so that at tax time you?ll be sure to have any that you might need.
