Winner of PicksPal.com’s Hoops 1001 Contest Crushes the Competition

Like Florida did against UCLA, the winner of the Hoops 1001 Contest blew out the competition in PicksPal.com’s unique college hoops bracket , amassing over 111 million points en route to winning a 42-inch flat panel HDTV.

Zach Wesseling of Indianapolis, known as ZachersCrackers at PicksPal.com, was already leading the Hoops 1001 Contest by over 41 million points heading into Monday’s college championship game. He could have sat on the lead and claimed the grand prize, but instead he risked his otherwise insurmountable lead and doubled his point total – beating the first runner up by over 100 million points....

Start Giving the Existing New Money

Even more money is flowing into the private sectors from the 2004 Job Creation Act, the 2004 Production Activities Deduction, lowest ever capital gains tax rates and the 85% dividend tax deduction. At the same time, our nation systemically has to deliver early reading skills at age 3, 4, and 5 to 100% of the children to set up the next steps in our global economic progress. Only an individual gift delivers early reading skills at age 3, 4 and 5. This gift is the key to opportunity. It is society’s best (effective and lowest cost) approach to preparing the poorest of the poor to want opportunities, choices and engagement. Giving is often more than twice blessed, while taxes are often less than once blessed.... (Continue reading)

Globe Traveling Young Australian Finds Freedom in Prosperity Automated Systems

traveling around the world -- and all with no overhead, no staff and no boss while his business runs 24-hours a day.

Sound impossible?

Sean discovered what hundreds of others already have -- the fast-growing Prosperity Automated Systems, an internet marketing phenomenon founded by Bill Osterhout 12 years ago.

PAS proved to be the perfect match for Bridger's active and ambitious lifestyle.

“I have a huge interest in traveling,” Bridger says. Although he is only 26, he has already spent over four and a half years working and traveling overseas and around Australia.

“I have run with the bulls in Spain, drank steins of beer in Munich for Oktoberfest, skied in France’s three valleys, Canada’s Big White, and traveled the US extensively, including seeing New Orleans before that tragic hurricane. I was even a camp counselor for two summers running, and had a load of fun doing it.

“I have been to Egypt and seen the Pyramids, sailed down the Nile and visited the tomb of Tutankhamen. I have relaxed on beaches in Greece, Thailand, Italy, Spain and even Denmark. I've worked on a tuna boat for a week, sailed around the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland, climbed Uluru (Ayers Rock in central Australia) and drank the finest wine in the Barrossa Valley in South Australia.”

Sean is also an athlete, having played Australian rules football and studied judo for 8 years. This five-time state judo champion says he has worked in offices before, as an accountant for Associated Newspapers in London, as a utility broker, and at Price Waterhouse Cooper, but those jobs never provided him with what he wanted.

A few other companies he worked for also failed to live up to his expectations -- from a telecommunications company whose website was down every two weeks to a mail order business that became a waste of time and money.

“Licking envelopes, paying postage, it was a disaster,” he recalls.

Then his father emailed him about Prosperity Automated Systems.

“I studied business marketing at college and had a little bit of sales experience in past jobs. I just found so many benefits with PAS being an internet business compared to a brick and mortar business. No overhead, no staff, no boss. All the while my business runs 24 hours a day and pays me up to $3000 every sale. It gives me freedom.”

“If you can master the concept of driving traffic,” Bridger says, “then you can master PAS and earn a huge income. I am a strong believer in building wealth and I would like to become a wealth coach in the future, to help people reach their financial goals.”

But Sean sees PAS as more than just a way to make money. He sees it as something that can build relationships on a global scale. “That is the reason why I love PAS and the internet business. Someone on the other side of the world could just as well be in your hometown. It connects people together. My belief has always been that the world is out there to learn from. You will learn more by actually doing something than you ever will by reading about it in a book.”

Sean also sees strong, mutually beneficial relationships as the key to financial success.

“I believe that if you can build a strong team then you are guaranteed success. I am a dedicated sponsor.”

Through PAS, Sean sees his future opening up. “I have a plan that in six months time I will have three weeks on and one week off. That week may be to go traveling or to take my girlfriend away for a break, shopping, whatever.”

He adds, “This life is for living, not working. I have a saying that life is just one big holiday, you just have to work out how to get more time off.”

NASA Moisture Analyzer Technology Delivers Readings That Are Laser Fast and Accurate

The U.S. Space Program has delivered dozens of breakthroughs in materials, microelectronics, navigation and other technologies that have dramatically advanced science and industry today. One of those breakthroughs, using the “tunable” diode laser for gas detection is now enabling natural gas producers and pipeline operators to get precision moisture analyzer measurements in their product so quickly and easily that it is completely revolutionizing the world of the moisture gas analyzer.

A tunable diode laser (TDL) is a type of semiconductor-based laser that can be tuned to a very specific wavelength (or color) of light. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) developed long wave length (near infrared) tunable lasers and processor controls that enable users to precisely “target” specific molecules and detect small traces of gas. In the space program, this technology was vital to research and operations in the Space Station and Mars Polar Lander programs as well as studies on global warming, emissions, weather and climates throughout our world....
