Medical Marijuana Sales Take a Turn

Since President Obama has taken office, he has gotten rid of President Bush's policy of raiding medical marijuana clinics. The U.S. Justice Dept., at the direction of the Obama Administration, last month announced that it would no longer direct federal investigative resources to pursue criminal charges against medical marijuana clinics, providing they are operating lawfully. The policy represents a major shift in tactics from the Bush Administration, which had federal agents raiding medical marijuana distributors on the basis of violating federal statutes (federal law outlaws marijuana possession under the Controlled Substances Act)—even if the operators were in compliance with state laws.

Is this a step closer to legalizing marijuana?

Broadband Stimulus to come sooner than later

I found this article on this site.

It is about how Obama is trying to push through over 7 billion dollars of funding earlier then what the time table set. This is because unemployment is reaching 10.2 percent. According to NTIA officials, most of the money will go to expanding middle mile capacity in underserved and unserved areas around the country; another chunk will go to funding computer centers, and a last, smaller pile of cash will encourage sustainable adoption of broadband service.

No Hard Sells Here

Jun Kim, of Yoforia, a frozen yogurt company in Atlanta, makes sure his employees don't try to sell. He thinks it's important for his employees to use their discretion for selling the yogurt products and to put themselves in the customers' shoes. If they think the customer is not interested, then they don't even bother trying to sell anything. Apparently it is working, with a sales hike of over 40% since the previous year. I included the link below.

Top 10 New Stimulus Jobs!!!

I decided to give you another top ten list. If you did not read my other top ten list go read it now!

Top Ten Worse Even A Little Humorous Expenditures In The Stimulus Bill

So for this new top ten list I decided to see what the top new jobs this stimulus is creating for working Americans.

10. Concrete Finisher - Thats right if you know how to lay a road, or fix a bridge you are in luck. With billions of dollars going to this country's roads and bridges you can imagine the kind of surge in demand this will create. This job is expected to grow the most.

9. Solar Panel and Solar System Installers - Considering the stimulus bill wants to make our government highly energy efficient, you can expect this will be second among the job growth. This bill is trying to ween us off of oil, the quickest and easiest way is solar panels.

8. Energy Management Systems Specialist - Once again another field in the energy department.

7. Welder and Building Inspector - With increased spending in infrastructure, you can expect to see a slight increase in these jobs. However with the housing crash, and companies not willing to shell out money for new properties the job growth might just stay stagnant in the end.

6. Chemical Engineer

5. Software Programmer - With all these new Energy saving technologies someone will have to program them. Traffic control systems, and a new health care computer system should drive the demand for programmers extremely high.

4. Healthcare Administrator - With the new systems in place the health care companies and hospitals will need people to help ease the transitions. Also with the possibility of the new Health Care bill this could also drive demand even higher.

3. Government Administrators - With all these new programs you know the government will want to be able to keep tabs. So of course in style these jobs will probably be the highest paying new jobs.

2. Energy Researchers - Energy is in the title do I really need to explain. Anyways with the focus of getting off oil someone needs to find new tech to do it.

1. Scientist - Obama's campaign was dependant on technology. whether sending text messages, to his supporters or anyone who would sign up for them, to notify them to his ware abouts, or him putting up billboards in online video games. You can expect him to squeeze in alot of new technology rebates.

WebSite Design....

For an E-Commerce business your website is your store. Its what attracts your consumers, allows them to view and purchase goods/services, and what keeps them coming back. To help you design your website there are several different organizations that can help you in creating your website. A few of these companies are: Homestead, Intuit, Web Metro, Web Design, along with thousands of other sites, each offering differently levels of assistance at different prices. I've created my own website from scratch using Homestead, which is a hands-off company that provides you with a domain, hosting, and website building software.
