Djokovic, Serena impress at U.S. Open (Reuters)

NEW YORK (Reuters) ? Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal are seemingly not the only ones sick of the sight of Novak Djokovic and his domination of men's tennis.

At the U.S. Open on Tuesday, food poisoning victim Conor Niland of Ireland threw up then gave up during his first-round match with the world number one.

Perhaps the only thing in professional tennis looking more under the weather right now is the state of the women's game. After just two days at Flushing Meadows, not one reigning grand slam singles champion is left in the draw.

Kim Clijsters, who won the U.S. Open last year and the Australian Open earlier this year, did not attempt to defend her title because of a stomach muscle problem.

On Monday, Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, made an inglorious early exit and was joined a day later by China's Li Na, the French Open winner.

It is little wonder that Serena Williams, less than a month away from turning 30 and in the early stages of a comeback after surviving a life-threatening lung disorder, has been installed as the favourite to win the last grand slam of the year.

In the last match of Tuesday's night session, the American sent an ominous warning to her rivals when she began her campaign with a 6-1 6-1 win over Serbia's Bojana Jovanovski.

Niland lasted only 44 minutes before he tossed in the towel against Djokovic. He was trailing 6-0 5-1 and already looking as green as the fluffy balls he was frantically trying to retrieve.

The first Irishman to play at the U.S. Open, he did at least have a valid excuse. He was suffering from food poisoning after eating a meal of pork and salad at a fancy Manhattan restaurant.

"I thought I could bluff my way through but you can't do that against the number one in the world, I just found out," Niland said.

It was not a fair contest anyway. Djokovic, his appetite for more grand slam titles still driving him, was in a ruthless mood and showing little charity to his ailing opponent.

He showed no ill effects of the shoulder injury that forced him to quit last week's Cincinnati final against Andy Murray but was glad to get an early mark on a hot and sunny afternoon at Flushing Meadows.

STRAIGHT SETS

"I really don't mind that I spend less time on the court," Djokovic said.

The Serbian has lost just two matches this year, claiming the Wimbledon and Australian Open titles along the way, but his intentions for the next two weeks are clear and his main rivals have been put on notice.

"Now, more than ever, I know that I can actually perform equally well on any surface," he said.

Nadal began his title defense with a straight sets win over Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan. The Spaniard won 6-3 7-6 7-5 but it was a performance that raised as many questions as answers.

Last year, Nadal completed his personal grand slam after working tirelessly on his serve, turning a shot that had been a weakness into a weapon. His serve was broken just five times in the seven matches he played last year.

Against Golubev, ranked 98th in the world, his serve was broken six times.

"It's a positive start," Nadal said. "It was unbelievable that I won straight sets, but it is still a victory in straight sets."

Caroline Wozniacki, the women's world number one, provided a glimpse of the ruthless streak her critics have accused her of lacking, demolishing unseeded Spaniard Nuria Llagostera Vives 6-3 6-1.

The Dane, who has been in the headlines as much for her relationship with golfer Rory McIlroy as her performances on court, smashed 22 winners in a lopsided victory that took just 80 minutes.

It was as impressive a start to the tournament as anyone has made so far but Wozniacki was forced to defend herself, and by extension the women's game, because she has still not won a grand slam title.

"They can say what they want," she snarled. "I've won a lot of tournaments. I'm number one in the world."

Li is one of the most marketable players in the game since becoming the first Chinese to win a grand slam singles crown but has struggled since, and joined the list of big casualties at the tournament when she fell 6-2 7-5 to unseeded Romanian Simona Halep.

Williams left the U.S. Open in disgrace two years ago after a foul mouthed tirade on an official that earned her a hefty fine and a two-year probation, which ends after this tournament.

But the American was on her best behaviour against Jovanovski, racing to victory in less than an hour then sweet-talking the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd.

"I'm so happy to be here, I didn't think I would make it," she said in an on-court interview.

It's time to end the war on terror: How you can watch?and participate in?the live Intelligence Squared/Slate debate on Sept. 7 at NYU.

Crossed out Osama bin Laden. Click image to expand.Slate and the celebrated live-debate series Intelligence Squared U.S. launch our partnership on Sept. 7 with a debate at NYU about a contentious and timely topic: Is it time to end the war on terror? We'd like to invite you to attend the debate?we're offering Slate readers a 30 percent discount on tickets (see below)?and we'd like you to submit questions for the debaters. We'll pick the most interesting and moderator John Donvan will ask it at the debate.

First, a bit more about the topic: Days after 9/11, President Bush declared a war on terror that would "not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated." At first, his rhetoric served as an empowering battle cry for an enraged, disillusioned public. Ten years later, his words are a poignant reminder of the thousands of Americans killed in two wars overseas. And they're fodder for the pundits and analysts who aren't convinced that the threat of terrorism justified its position as the organizing principle behind our recent foreign policy decisions.

After two wars, the Arab Spring, and the death of Osama bin Laden, is it finally time to end the war on terror?

Four days before the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, a group of homeland security and terrorism experts will tackle this very question in a live Oxford-style debate in New York City. CNN National Security Analyst Peter Bergen and Homeland Security expert Juliette Kayyem will argue for the motion that "It is time to end the war on terror." Former Deputy Homeland Security Adviser Richard Falkenrath and former CIA and NSA Director Michael Hayden will argue against the motion.

If you've got a question for the debaters, write it below in the Comments section of this article. We'll select one to read live at the debate. Be sure to include your full name and hometown with your question. You can also cast a vote for or against the motion in Slate's poll below.

The details about the debate:

When/Where: Sept. 7, 2011 at Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, New York University, located at 566 LaGuardia Place (at Washington Square South).

The evening begins at 5:45 p.m. with a cash-bar reception for panelists and audience members; the live debate starts at 6:45 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m. For venue information, click here.

Tickets: $40 ($12 for students with ID). Purchase tickets here, and be sure to enter the special Slate promotional discount code, Slate30, to receive 30 percent off your ticket.

About the Debaters

He is editor of Foreign Policy's AfPak Channel, a premiere clearinghouse of news covering Afghanistan, Pakistan, and issues of transnational terrorism. Bergen is also the eirector of the National Security Program at the New America Foundation and a research fellow at NYU's Center on Law and Security.

Juliette Kayyem, Terrorism specialist and homeland security expert: Juliette Kayyem formerly served under the Obama administration as assistant secretary for intergovernmental affairs at the Department of Homeland Security. With nearly 15 years of experience in counterterrorism and homeland security, she was Massachusetts' first undersecretary for homeland security, a member of the National Commission on Terrorism, and a legal adviser to Attorney General Janet Reno.

The Poor State of Moroccan Television | Morocco World News

Moroccan TV

By Samir Bennis*

Morocco World News

New York, August 29, 2011

In the midst of reforms being experienced by Morocco since the adoption of its new constitution last July, Morocco seems to be on the verge of embarking on a new era. Moroccans from all walks of life are hopeful to see their country proceed down a path of development where all components of society will be afforded equal opportunities and benefit from a better and fairer distribution of wealth, while breaking with the unsavory practices that marked Moroccan political life in recent years.

Moroccans also believe that the success of the reforms and the implementation of the provisions of the new constitution are contingent on the extent to which concepts, such as accountability and transparency will be enforced in all aspects of Morocco?s day-to-day life.

Yet, while they consider the constitutional reforms as a step in the right direction, many Moroccans question whether the country?s current political elite, as well as its media are ready to embark in the new era and help Morocco build a brighter future for coming generations. In his speech delivered on August 20th, on the occasion of the King and People?s Revolution, King Mohamed VI stressed the need that Morocco?s stakeholders, least of which the political parties and the media shoulder their historic responsibilities and ?make the nation?s best interests prevail over all other considerations?. It remains to be seen if Morocco?s political elite and media are ready to move Morocco forward towards a brighter future.

In fact, most Moroccans stress that the two areas should undergo big changes if Morocco is to set in motion a genuine democratic process that can turn it into a role model in the Arab world and pave the way for economic development, as well as for a blossoming civil society.

To begin with, most Moroccans have lost faith in the majority of the country?s political leaders, many of whom have been involved in Moroccan politics for over four decades. The latter have come to symbolize abuse of power and cronyism in the country and are viewed by most young people as using politics to enrich themselves and their relatives, while failing to discharge their duties, which should be to strive towards providing all Moroccans with equal opportunities and ensuring a better distribution of wealth.

Many in Morocco think that these political leaders are out of touch with the realities of the overwhelming majority of the population, are not fit for the democratic system that the country is moving towards and that they should depart from their current roles to allow a new generation build a brighter future for Moroccans. The further think that these political leaders have to rise up to the reforms being launched by King Mohamed VI and the challenges that the country is facing.

Besides these political figures, what draws the most virulent criticism from Moroccans is the poor quality of their media, especially Moroccan state-owned TV channels. This is what frustrates and disgruntles Moroccans the most. Many express their total dissatisfaction with the programs offered by, both, Morocco?s main TV stations, 2M and Al Oula. In fact when looking over the programs they have been offering over the past 10 years, one cannot help but to express one?s frustration, if not anger, at the people in charge of programming at the two Moroccan TV channels.

While reviewing these programs, one wonders if they are targeting a Moroccan audience with specific sets of values, concerns and expectations, or if they are targeting an audience from another planet. One cannot help but to ask these questions: is Morocco?s media out of touch with its audience? Are they taking Moroccan people seriously? Have they ever bothered to conduct an opinion poll among Moroccans, including those living aboard to seek their views on their programs or to learn about their expectations and preferences? Have they ever asked themselves why the Moroccan public is shunning their programs and turning to other media outlets perceived as being more professional and offering programming that better meets their tastes and expectations?

I must say that besides the poor quality of the programs being offered to Moroccans households, Morocco?s TV stations seem to be moving at their own slow pace.

While realizing that the country?s two main TV stations have never been a shining star among the world?s media offering, I must admit that their programming back in the 1980s and 1990s was much better than now. While living in Morocco back in the 1990s, at least the programs aired were, to some extent, in line with people?s expectations and were of decent quality. Regarding soap operas, most of them were Egyptian, of good quality and were somehow compatible with Moroccans? sets of values and principles. One could also see from time to time interesting cultural or religious programs whose aim was to educate people and instill in them civic values. Sports lovers were not left behind, as they could watch soccer games many times a week, be it the Spanish, German or Italian soccer. The same could be said about its sitcoms, most of which were of good quality.

The picture now is so grim and the quality of the programs leaves much to be desired. Like many Moroccans who love their country, I am appalled to see the outrageous quantity of TV shows coming from other countries that do not share the same cultural or religious values with us, especially from Mexico and other Latin American countries. While back in the 1990?s Mexican TV shows on Moroccan public TV were an exception, nowadays they are the rule. Whether on 2M or Al Oula, they offer Mexican TV shows all day long as if the audience were Mexican rather than Moroccan.

What makes things worse is the quality of the translation used now by people in charge of these TV shows. Whereas in the past these shows were translated into standard Arabic, nowadays they are translated into the lowest and most vulgar version of Moroccan dialect. I must say that I am not against offering people TV shows from these countries and educating Moroccans about other cultures and histories. What I am against is to continuously bombard a Moroccan audience with these programs.

While Morocco?s first TV Al Oula station is state-owned and 2M is semi-public, they seem not to care about educating people or instilling patriotic values into them. They never run TV shows or movies that address the glorious history of Morocco. I can barely recall having watched any TV shows that teach Moroccans the sacrifices made by their ancestors to drive the Spanish and French occupiers out of Morocco, and still less television programming that depicts the role played by Morocco in spreading Islam to sub-Saharan Africa. The ultimate goal of our Public TV stations seems not to educate Moroccans about their history, but only to make as much profit as possible by bombarding people with commercials throughout the day, especially during prime time.

If the two TV stations were private, I would not argue against their motivations to maximize profits through commercials. But the fact remains that every Moroccan household pays each month a 20-Dirham-charge to the two stations. Therefore, as people finance them every month, they must not only take their concerns, expectations and tastes into account in providing programming, but also offer programs that educate people, as well as organize debates that address their daily economic and social concerns.? In France, for example, where people are charged 150 Euros per year to finance public television, the co-called Redevance Tele, French TV channels France2, France3 and France5 never run commercials during prime time or in between TV shows. Plus they regularly broadcast documentaries and cultural programs geared towards educating people, raising awareness about their concerns and meeting their expectations.

It is time that Morocco?s TV executives started rethinking their programming and taking into account the preferences, concerns and demands of the broad Moroccans audience. As Morocco is about to embark on new era, Moroccan TV should live up to the ever-changing reality of Morocco and start airing more creative, cultural and educative programs, which have to be in line with what Moroccans righteously expect from their public TV stations. This is the only way Moroccans would start regaining faith in their public media and stop relying on foreign media outlets.

Personal Motivation, How Will We Attain It?

This article has been viewed 4 times.

Noticeably a lot has been released about individual incentive. Though I've written other books and finding large collections for private development is what folks today basically wants.

Individuals ask me, ?What?s so hard about private motivation??(Ley de Atraccion) Trying to guesstimate, I suspect the toughest part is to save it, ideally at every point. When we are going to the health club, we're employed out and then, we are completed. When we have to finish a task for work, we operate on it for a specific period, and then we complete it.

Determination is a distinctive ?cookie?, even bearing that in mind we want it to be there when it's time to go to the fitness center, needed to be there so as to finish a undertaking, we require it to be there when our youngsters can not even spell ?power?, after practicing for weeks. From my point of view, incentive is always needed to be present and it is the cause why people are so fascinated by having it.

The three major components of doggedness are:

a) What are you targeting for?, what do you need?

b) Energy

c) Endurance

Of these 3 elements, endurance is probably the only one with which most people struggle. Generally when we select something, we all know what we want. The energy is individual and for a certain period of time we are ready to give the best of us. However, right after a bit, even the most provoked of us start to really feel less enthusiastic and customarily end up giving up or giving up, specifically if things don't occur quick enough.

This is exactly where the function of endurance gets highly essential and much necessary. Those that continue to go after their goals and needs are people who, frequently, get them. The pad might be hard, but victory is a lot sweeter and the outcomes got are way more appreciated. Think about, next time you're about to give up and desert your attempts, the outcomes might be prepared simply round the corner. It'd be a shame to desert them there and not reach your location. With few of the already identified persistence, you can obtain a good deal without noticeably struggle.

Articles-now.com How To Settle The Problem Of Excessive Addiction ...

The talk about addiction never seems to cover being addicted to the chocolate which is one of the most affordable and socially acceptable items on earth. Whenever one thinks of the word ?addiction,? people start imagining hard chemical stuff and they cannot see a picture of a person who is so dependent on chocolates that they actually need help and support. Here are three tips on how to get a chocolate addict on a road to kicking off addiction for good.

You must first come to terms with the realities of the situation. It is usually said that whatever happens in this life has a root cause. Addiction to chocolate is quite the same.

So face the situation frankly and sincerely that there is need for something to be done and open a page where you can record every step of the journey to self improvement. Well, eating chocolate is nothing one should be ashamed of till it starts to get out of hand.

Self reflection and realization will show you how and why you started this habit. On checking back, you will certainly see how the addictive pattern is repeatedly manifesting and what actually triggers it. It could be something to do with the emotions and feelings. For example if you notice that you have this craving at certain periods only; during which you would reach for a bar of chocolates and afterwards would feel perfectly alright.

Immediately you get to this realization, you begin to see how the patterns in your life like loneliness, heartbreak, and melancholy for example were responsible for your predicament. These are the things you need to put down on paper from today so that you can now start taking new steps towards a wholesome life.

It is some of these feelings in your past that you would have to jot down on the notepad this very instant so that the work of recovery may begin straight away.

It is worthwhile to know that this is the beginning of a journey to self fulfillment because you will now be able to deal successfully with the root cause of the addiction.

The journey might take several weeks or months, but your satisfaction should lie in the fact that finally you are dealing with a situation in your life that could have led to disastrous results.

The writer also frequently writes regarding products including DLP lamp replacements and overhead projector bulbs.

Kris Jenner Joins The Talk

Kris Jenner is joining The Talk staring this fall. She is set to give it a shot for a two week stint ? the rest is presumably up to ratings. The talk is just off to a rocky start. It just started last October and already there are shakeups. Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete have left and Sharon Osbourne is up in the air. To me it?s a done deal. The reasons for tuning in have left. But add Kris Jenner to the mix and I am a bit intrigued. I am actually dying to see if it works, how she does, and if she is interesting. She is set to do a two week trial, and I guess a permanent position depends on the ratings. I am not sure if she will get them, but I am wondering how she could possibly balance everything if she does land a permanent position. She just took on managing Kris Humphries, on top of managing the rest of her clan. The younger girls already complain that she manages them poorly. Maybe she will hand some responsibility over to Scott. Haha. The Talk returns Sept 6, and Sara Gilbert and Julie Chen [...]

Brenda Song Pregnant With Trace Cyrus? Baby!

Oh. Em. Gee. London Tipton is preggers with Hannah Montana’s brother’s baby! Can you believe it? Is it true that Brenda Song is pregnant and Trace Cyrus is the baby daddy? Seriously, this totally came out of left field for me. I didn’t even know these two were a couple. Seems like an odd pairing to me. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody star and the former Metro Station frontman are reportedly expecting their first child together, with news of the pregnancy being confirmed by E! and Celebuzz. Reps for Song and Cyrus have not released any type of statement on the impending baby. Nothing said by either on Twitter either. Oh, and I checked the future Auntie Miley’s Twitter too. Nope. Nothing. According to E!, these two have been together since last year and were seen walking the red carpet at a Nylon party in May 2010. Kudos to them for keeping their private life just that…private. Now as for that little baby…will he or she be born sporting tattoos? Ha ha, I jest. This is the second former Disney star who is expecting. Hilary Duff of Lizzie McGuire fame just recently announced that she was pregnant with [...]

Photon 4G, The Future of Mobile Computing? | Mobile Computing ...

Back in May the Motorola Atrix 4G caught my attention with its commercials. I think its pretty cool to have a computer that I could put into my pocket and carry around with me, and also use as a phone. Of course. Motorola approaches it a bit differently. they picture a phone that can also be used as a computer.

Fast forward to today I?m back writing about Motorola 4G phones, but this time its the Motorola Photon 4G. Watching the commercial, which was slightly reminiscent of the Atrix commercial I just kept waiting, and waiting. For what? I kept waiting to hear (or see) how Motorola had improved upon the Atrix 4G with this new 4G phone. However, it seems they?ve gone the other way and instead of taking the Atrix and improving upon its computing features, its more like they removed most of its computing features, except for the WebTop.

Of course, like many other smartphones, the Photon 4G plays games, has GPS, downloads apps and other ?normal? smartphone stuff. Oh, one other thing it shares with the Atrix 4G is accessories. Although I?m sure there are more, the Photon site shows a vehicle navigation dock (more and more Motorola phones are getting these), HD station and a wireless keyboard (70 bucks!).

YESTERDAY?S REALITY IS TODAY?S MEMORY

So, Motorola didn?t go all ?Atrix? with the Photon, so I should just get over it. Some will be happy to hear that the Photon sports Android ?Gingerbread? Operating system. Oh, price? $550 standalone or $200 w/ Plan. Compare the Motorola Atrix 4G can be had on the Motorola website with plans advertised as starting at $100 and Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) upgrade available.

Death toll rises to 53 in attack on Mexico casino (AP)

MONTERREY, Mexico ? The death toll climbed as workers continued to pull bodies out of a burned casino in northern Mexico, where gunmen spread gasoline and ignited a fire that trapped and killed at least 53 gamblers and employees.

Family members gathered at the caution tape outside the Casino Royale after the Thursday afternoon fire in the northern industrial city of Monterrey, some crying and others yelling at police for providing no information. Later they were allowed to view bodies in the morgue to help identify the victims.

Francisco Tamayo, 28, of Monterrey, said he and family members looked at some 40 bodies in search of his mother, Sonia de la Pena, 47, who loved to gamble at the casino and was there on average four days a week. They had yet to find her.

When Tamayo learned of the fire from television, he first went to the scene.

"She's probably here," said Tamayo, who repeatedly called her cell phone, only to hear that it was out of the area of service.

Gov. Rodrigo Medina told the Televisa network late Thursday that the death toll had reached 53. The fire in a city that has seen a surge in drug cartel-related violence represented one of the deadliest attacks on an entertainment center in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against drug cartels in late 2006.

Calderon tweeted that the attack was "an abhorrent act of terror and barbarism" that requires "all of us to persevere in the fight against these unscrupulous criminal bands."

Attorney General Leon Adrian de la Garza said a drug cartel was apparently responsible for the attack, though he didn't name which one. Cartels often extort casinos and other businesses, threatening to attack them or burn them to the ground if they refuse to pay.

It was the second time in three months that the Casino Royale was targeted. Gunmen struck it and three other casinos on May 25, spraying the building with bullets, but no was reported injured in that attack.

The fire in the two-story casino, which advertised sports book and bingo, was reported just before 4 p.m. local time, a slow time of day when normally about 80 people played the tables and slots, said former security guard Alberto Martinez Alvarado, 30. Martinez, who on his way home from work Thursday when he saw the fire, said the casino could hold hundreds, perhaps 1,000 people.

"We're lucky we weren't there," he said. "Why couldn't the people who did this do some honest work instead?"

State police officials quoted survivors as saying armed men burst into the casino, apparently to rob it, and began dousing the premises with fuel from tanks they brought with them. The officials were not authorized to be quoted by name for security reasons. De la Garza said the liquid appeared to be gasoline.

With shouts and profanities, the attackers told the customers and employees to get out. But many terrified customers and employees fled further inside the building, where they died trapped amid the flames and thick smoke that soon billowed out of the building.

Monterrey Mayor Fernando Larrazabal said many of the bodies were found inside the casino's bathrooms, where employees and customers had locked themselves to escape the gunmen.

Authorities commandeered backhoes from a nearby construction site and made a brief attempt to break into the casino's walls as smoke billowed from the main entrance, hindering firefighters.

Maria Tomas Navarro, 42, stood weeping at the edge of the police tape stretched in front of the smoke-stained casino building. She was hoping for word of her brother, 25-year-old Genaro Navarro Vega, who had worked in the casino's bingo area.

Navarro said she tried calling her brother's cell phone. "But he doesn't answer. I don't know what is happening," she said. "There is nobody to ask."

Monterrey has seen bloody turf battles between the Zetas and Gulf cartels in recent months. Once Mexico's symbol of development and prosperity, the city is seeing this year's drug-related murders on a pace to double last year's and triple those of the year before.

Last month, gunmen killed 20 people at a bar in Monterrey. The attackers sprayed the bar with rounds from assault rifles, and police later found bags of drugs at the bar.

State police officials initially said witnesses reported hearing three explosions before Thursday's fire started, but later said a flammable material was used. The officials were not authorized to be quoted by name for security reasons.

The reports of explosions may have been the sound of the ignition of the liquid.

Norma Reyes, 45, was one of the people who received good news Thursday. Her son called her before she even heard about the fire to say he was all right. Jonathan Reyes, 25, who worked as an area supervisor, told his mother he was at the hospital trying to find out what happened to his co-workers.

"God took care of us today," she said.

How Do I Create a Business Plan? [Ask Lifehacker]

How Do I Create a Business Plan?Dear Lifehacker,
I've got a great idea for a new business, but I want to make sure that I set it up right and I might need some financing help to get started. What do I need to include in the business plan? Is there an easy way to create one?
Thanks,
Self-Starter

Dear SS,
It sounds like you've given your business idea a lot of thought. The business plan can definitely help you get started on the right foot. Whether or not you actually use the business plan to secure financing, writing down the business plan will force you to think through all aspects of your business, much like creating blueprints for building a house.

As you know, starting a business involves researching and considering so many factors, such as legal requirements, pricing, competition, and so on?but thankfully there are also a great many tools at our disposal now to help write a good business plan.

Essential Elements of a Good Business Plan

Whether you decide to use business planning software (more on that in the next section), a template, or create your own informal document, good business plans include the same basic general information that cover all aspects of your business's operation and success:

  • Executive Summary: An overview of your company or "the business idea". Basically, the who, what, where, when, why, and how of your business. It's the section you might want to write at the end, and the most important one that summarizes why you think the business will be successful and what your business is all about.
  • Company Description: This section should answer: What products and/or services will you sell? Who's behind it? Who are your customers and what needs are you fulfilling with your products and/or services?
  • Organization and Management: Include in this section your company structure (sole proprietorship, limited liability company, etc.) as well as your background and years of experience. If you'll have employees, list them here with their titles or roles. For more on business structures, see the IRS's descriptions (most people working on their own will be sole proprietorships, but there are benefits to forming a Limited Liability Corporation, LLC, or other structures).
  • Products or Services: Detailed descriptions of what you're going to sell, including prices and specific benefits compared to your competitors. If you're selling products, you'd include here your sources and how much markup you're adding. For services, include your hourly rate or project rate (not sure what to charge yet? Here are some tips).
  • Marketing and Sales: To grow your business, you'll need a sound marketing strategy?for the next three years at least. Plan on investing in corporate identity design (e.g., logo design, website development, business cards), expenses like advertising in newspaper or search engine listings, and think about other ways you'll reach your customers.
  • Market Analysis: Research on your competitors?what they're charging, how they position themselves, what their products are compared to yours is also an important exercise. For an informal business plan, a simple Google search of local and online competitors might do, but for more in-depth market research, you might want to turn to sites like Hoovers to get more detailed business and industry information. The more research you can do, the better (if there's a lot, just add it in an appendix).
  • Financial Information: This is probably the most involved part of your plan. You'll need to know exactly how much you will need to start up and what the money will be used for?list every expense you can think of for the next three years at least; how much you expect to make each year (financial forecasts); and set some financial assumptions like your tax rate and how many days you'll give your customers time to pay your invoices (e.g., net 30 days). The business plan templates and tools in the next section will help you create these plans, but you may also need to research standard assumptions for your industry or sample rates similar companies use. Joining an industry association, such as the Graphic Artists Guild, might get you access to financial planning tools and industry-standard rates.
  • Funding Request: If you're looking for a loan, create a funding request section where you outline how much you'll need, what the money will go towards, the terms you'd like to have applied, and any expected business developments that could impact your loan in the future (e.g., you expect to get a new partner in the future).

For more in-depth discussion of each of these sections, see the Small Business Administration's Writing a Business Plan site. A very useful book for starting a small business in general is Small Time Operator by Bernard B. Kamoroff; it's a little light on the business planning instructions but for good reason:

Entire books are dedicated to the many considerations, formulas, options and everything else you can conceivably fit onto graphs, charts, schedules, computer screens, and densely packed pages, to create some mighty impressive plans indeed, some of which are quite valuable and some of which are utterly useless. Sometimes, too much "information" will work against you, unable to see the forest for the trees.

That's a big problem with writing a business plan or a marketing plan even; you can get so mired in the minute details that you either never get started on the business itself or you paint yourself into too narrow a corner. Think about including enough details so a stranger would be able to read your plan and know what separates it from a similar business and a creditor would be convinced your business would be successful, but not so exact that the plan seems inflexible (and unachievable). Business planning software can help:

Business Planning Apps

Business Plan Pro: This is the classic business planning software from Palto Alto that's been around for over two decades. At $99.95 for the basic version or $159.95 for the premier option (which has more funding/financial tools), it's a little bit of an investment but worth it for the 500+ sample plans, easy forecasting, and financial calculators. Available for Windows only. (Palto Alto has a LivePlan webapp for $19.95 a month that works for Mac and Linux but you're probably better off using the free business plan webapps below).

Enloop: Create a free and customized business plan with Enloop on the fly, complete with an evaluation score from Enloop to see if your business idea is a good one. The simple interface takes you through entering all the basic business plan information and creates automated financial forecasts. The free edition gives you one plan with forecasting for the first three years and a PDF download. Upgrading to a more advanced package gives you more features like removing the Enloop logo from the document footer and financial ratio analysis comparisons.

SCORE Templates: Also check out some business planning templates and financial statements tools from this network of small business entrepreneurs who volunteer their time and expertise to help others get started.

PlanCruncher: One way to tell if you really have a killer start-up idea is if you can crunch your business plan into one page. PlanCruncher is a simple tool to write a one-page business plan with just the basic sections needed: Idea, Team, Product, Revenue, Funding. It's easy to read and concise, which might help you stand way above the other business plan creators.

There are loads of other web sites, apps, and books designed to help you create a winning business plan, but these are some of the easiest/best resources we've used.

The most important thing is to thoroughly map out your road to success, pass your plan out to as many people as possible to see what they think, and then go for it. Remember, too, that a business plan is a work in progress, so don't forget to revisit it every year or so to re-map your future. Good luck! Photo by plantoo47.

Love,
Lifehacker

They are obliged to give ample time before notice is served and needed to have court order to evict you legally from the house. It typically takes an average of about six month before the issuance of court order or depending on which state you are in.The home is then sold through a foreclosure auction after all the legal proceedings.

When everything is all done and home was finally sold to the winning bidder. The new homeowner will be the one responsible in applying for eviction order for you to leave the place in three days period.? You can look for another home to settle in six months and just move on instead of doing desperate moves to save your home.

Nowadays, foreclosures compose more than half of the active homes for sale in the market and still increasing.Home is may be the most important investment that people can have and they will do everything to save it from foreclosure.But with the slumping economy that we are experiencing right now, where basic needs are on the rise while salary remains steady.?

Cubs SS Castro held out, given 'mental day off'

(AP) ? Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro was held out of the starting lineup Monday night against Atlanta, one night after television cameras caught him not paying attention in the field as a pitch was thrown.

"It's a mental day off," Chicago manager Mike Quade said during a long pregame press conference at which Castro was pretty much the only topic of discussion.

"I was real disappointed. He understands that. We'll see how the next day or so goes. We'll take it one day at a time. He's got a lot of work to do in terms of bearing down and concentrating."

The pitch in question occurred during the sixth inning of Sunday night's 6-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. As reliever James Russell went into his motion and delivered to Daniel Descalso, Castro kicked at the dirt and then walked toward the outfield, never looking toward home plate when the pitch was thrown.

"When I saw Russ' pitch when he wasn't on board yet, that was the thing that got me more than anything," Quade said. "People stay loose different ways and approach each pitch different ways, but the fact that he wasn't prepared for Russ' pitch was the main thing."

ESPN aired a clip of the play the next inning and commentator Bobby Valentine spent nearly seven minutes haranguing Castro and the Cubs' inability to get him to focus. Quade said he didn't hear any of Valentine's comments.

"I don't listen to Bobby very much," Quade said. "I looked at everything with the mute on. That's kind of what I do. I don't want any outside influences. I want to know exactly what I see and make up my own decisions.

"As far as Bobby goes, I'm concerned about Starlin Castro. I'm not concerned at all about Bobby Valentine."

ESPN also showed close-ups of Castro in the field looking up at the sky, standing still with his glove off and chewing a nonstop stream of sunflower seeds. The 21-year-old Castro is leading the National League in hits, but Quade said age can't be used as an excuse.

"I was really disappointed and surprised, very surprised at him," Quade said. "It is something we've been after him about from Day 1, focus-wise. To be honest with you, with his talent, sometimes that's the toughest challenge for him. Not acceptable, not good. He feels terrible. Talked to him and we'll give him a day.

"The youth thing, from a focus standpoint, (can be tolerated) no more."

At one point, Quade was asked if Castro was going to be tested for Attention Deficit Disorder.

"You spend enough time around him, no one has given that a consideration," Quade said. "Let's just ask Cassie to concentrate and do a better job, get the most out of his ability."

An All-Star this season, Castro is hitting .308 and recently became the youngest Cubs player in more than 70 years to reach 300 career hits. Quade said that while the organization will be diligent in its development of Castro, it's ultimately up to the player.

"It's on Starlin to make this progress," Quade said. "He's got a coaching staff that cares about him. He's got all the things in place to do this and do this well."

Valentine suggested that behavior like Castro's can become a team "cancer" if it goes unchecked, observations that Quade said he could do without.

"That's why I watch and don't listen," Quade said. "There's a lot of experts out there. Everybody's got stuff figured out. I know how much time we've spent with the kid. I know how much we've addressed these things. And I also know that it doesn't happen overnight. Sometimes, it takes a long time. You don't quit working with guys or addressing things until it gets done. What people come in and say on a short look, I'm really not too interested in it."
