THE FUTURE GROWTH OF RSSRegardless of the numbers we put our faith in, the future growth of RSS is without question. Microsoft just recently announced full RSS support in the next edition of their Internet Explorer browser and full RSS integration in the next edition of their operating system, the Windows Vista.Once RSS becomes easily available to most internet users out-of-the-box and becomes as widely spread as bookmarks, its adoption will grow at an incredible rate. Microsoft has now made sure this in fact will happen.Consequently, the time for marketers to not only become interested in RSS but also master it is now. Those that test and discover the best possible ways of using RSS for marketing will be ahead of their competition once everyone starts using RSS.Furthermore, since RSS implementation can actually be free of any charge, there's no reason not to start providing your content in RSS feeds now.3. GOOGLE SHOWS THE WAYMicrosoft and Yahoo! aren't the only big players to show support for RSS.

Google recently launched RSS advertising as part of their Google AdSense program, giving publishers reason to start their own RSS feeds to generate direct revenues.Those that depend on Google AdSense for part or all of their online revenues actually need to provide RSS feeds, or stand to lose some of those revenues due to their visitors switching to sites and feeds from their competitors.Face it, today many users are already starting to request publishers provide them with RSS to subscribe to their content. This trend will only continue, with many users selecting RSS as their primary channel of receiving and reading online content.4. THE QUESTIONABLE RELIABILITY OF E-MAILAll marketers today are experiencing e-mail delivery problems, constantly wondering whether their messages are getting through or not. Simply put, e-mail can no longer be relied on.For one, offering your content via RSS as a supplement to e-mail will help you make certain that at least a portion of your visitors, those that decide for the RSS option, will be receiving all of your content without any doubt. Lockergnome.com decided to start pushing RSS instead of e-mail some time ago, and as a result saw that their RSS feeds are outperforming e-mail when it comes to clickthrough rates for about 500%.

Also an interesting fact, they today have 5 times more RSS subscribers than e-mail subscribers.And two, for your most important content updates, RSS really is becoming a must, especially if you need to be in contact with your existing customers, partners and other key audiences. If you want to be 100% certain that your messages reach your audience, RSS is the way to go.5. OTHER BENEFITS OF RSSBut all of the above don't even touch all the reasons why marketers should start using RSS today ?a) RSS will help you generate additional traffic and reach new audiences. Considering the low cost of RSS implementation, this is reason enough to get started with RSS today.b) RSS helps you to easily get your content published on other sites, thus generating you more credibility and visitors.c) As a publisher you can use RSS to display content from other sources, thus making your site more relevant and interesting to your existing visitors.And the list goes on and on.RSS may not be mainstream yet, but it provides enough advantages even today to make it a must-choice for marketers..

Podcasting can be used for talk shows, tutorials, music demos, educational training, stories, comedy clips, debates or even foreign language tutorials. While RSS has had the capacity to include audio files for a few years, only recently have entrepreneurs made the conceptual leap, taking advantage of the new power held within this communication medium. In reality, podcasters cover the gamut; some are professional broadcasters, while others are obvious amateurs. Podcasts are usually published with associated meta information that includes descriptive data about each specific audio file. This allows listeners to make a determination of which audio items are of interest.

If listeners are using a news aggregator that supports podcasting, they will automatically receive updates in their feed reader or news aggregation software when a new podcast exists for a feed that they have subscribed to. Why is podcasting so beneficial to the subscriber?Unlike traditional radio, with podcasting the subscriber decides what content he/she receives. Podcasting is extremely useful to the subscriber because the user can easily receive information he/she would like, and listen to it when they want. The material, once downloaded, can be listened to and viewed on wireless handhelds, allowing subscribers to utilize time on the road.Topic-specific radio talk shows with commentaries, interviews and debates can now be heard at a time and place of the listener's choosing. Consider the benefit of educational tutorials and foreign language instruction; lessons could be listened to during a work commute.

Supplementary class lectures, step by step tutorials or walking guides are all possible using podcasting. An unlimited collection of books read aloud for elderly or visually-impaired listeners only scratch the surface of what is possible in the future of podcasting.The fate of podcasting is in the hands of the subscribers. The subscriber can easily delete podcast feeds that do not satisfy their needs with the single tap of a button. Ultimately, the subscriber maintains control and determines what podcasts are deemed successful. This intrinsically builds in a quality control level and will ensure that the more innovative instructional and interesting podcast feeds survive.

The technology is fresh and, like the Internet, is opening doors to entrepreneurs. As podcasting evolves, users will find more creative kinds of audio content to deliver. The low barrier to entry has forced this new medium to the forefront, as businesses and individuals have really little to lose in adding podcasting as a communication channel.About the Author:Sharon Housley manages marketing for FeedForAll http://www.feedforall.com software for creating, editing and publishing RSS feeds and NotePage, Inc. http://www.notepage.net a wireless messaging software company. .

And even when the symptoms do become evident, which can take several decades, the symptoms are so generalized and non-specific that they could be put down to any number of more common diseases. This makes it hard for even experienced doctors to make a quick and conclusive diagnosis with mesothdisease patients. The symptoms of this disease can often be confused with pneumonia during its early stages.enetforce.com have set up a information site for every one who can use it.http://themesotheliomalawsuit.com/ we are relentless for you,giving power back to the people.

cats, tigers, leopards, stone martens). This has raised concern that this strain of avian influenza A (H5N1) virus may be capable of infecting dogs. An unpublished report from 2005 by The National Institute of Animal Health in Bangkok indicated that dogs could be infected with the virus, but the associated disease was not detected. Researchers tested 629 village dogs and 111 cats in the Suphan Buri district of central Thailand. Out of these, 160 dogs and 8 cats had antibodies to H5N1, indicating that they were infected with the virus or had been infected in the past.

There were news reports of a stray dog dying from bird flu (H5N1)in Azerbaiijan in March.

This was the first reported death of a dog from the virus. So far, this appears to be an isolated case. The World Health Organization(WHO) states on it's website that a better understanding of the situation in animals is, however, urgently needed.

So far, there is not enough information available about H5N1 in dogs to know how infection would occur. Most human cases have come from contact with infected poultry or feces. Affected cats in Europe appear to have become infected by eating infected poultry or wild birds.

It is possible dogs could be infected the same way.

If H5N1 is found in your area, (at this time H5N1 has not been found in North America), it may be a good idea to keep your dog indoors unless restrained, to prevent contact with infected birds and their feces. If you have a hunting dog, you may want to reconsider using it for retrieving downed birds. Report to the local veterinary authority any evidence of significant bird mortality, both wild and domestic. If your dog shows breathing problems or nasal discharge, consult a veterinarian. Wash animal blankets with soap or any other commercial detergent.

An equine virus has recently shown up in dogs in the U.S.

It is believed that the equine influenza virus mutated to produce the canine influenza virus. This may be a slighlty higher risk for dogs than avian influenza. This inter-species re-assortment is not uncommon for type A influenza viruses. It is unclear when this transition occurred.

Symptoms of canine influenza can be similar to kennel cough and include: a persistant, soft, moist cough, and a thick nasal discharge. More severe cases may include high fevers, pneumonia, and difficulty breathing, which can also be caused by a secondary bacterial infection.

If your dog exhibits any of these symtpoms, consult your veterinarian.

So far, there has been no indication of transmission from dog to human.

There is no vaccine available at this time. Treatment is usually limited to IV fluids to help keep your dog hydrated or antibiotics to help control the infection.

So, is your dog safe from the bird flu? No one seems to have a solid answer one way or another at this time. A little caution may be warranted, but the choice is yours: Would you rather your prized hunting dog stay home under the bed rather than risk catching the bird flu, or be out leading the hunt, doing what he loves? The best advise we have right now is always pay close attention to your dogs health. If your dog shows signs of ill health, consult your veterinarian. This will ensure you have a healthy, happy companion for years to come.

"Many of my patients who want to improve themselves shun the idea of having surgery with weeks and weeks of recovery time before they see results," explains Dr. Stevens. "What makes Fraxel? Laser Treatments so appealing to these patients is that they can achieve results comparable to an invasive surgical procedure, but without the lengthy downtime or potential risks." The key difference between Fraxel? Laser Treatments and more traditional ablative methods is that Fraxel? treats pinpoint areas on the skin, penetrating small fractions by 400 to 700 microns ? just deep enough to stimulate significant collagen regeneration. The end result is impressive change to fine lines and wrinkles, and a significant smoothing out of skin tone and color. Those are the facts! Now, think: Baby-smooth skin!Dr.

Stevens' technical know-how and skillful artistry have further refined Fraxel? Laser Treatments to achieve even greater and more predictable results. He applauds Reliant, the manufacturer of the Fraxel?, for its ongoing, hands-on approach to training physicians with the technology and using clinical insights from experts like himself to advance treatment applications."Using the most sophisticated treatment guidelines, we have seen enhanced cosmetic improvement to what were already excellent results," says Dr. Stevens. "The fact that I have not had any patient complications with this technology is truly a testament to the safety and efficacy of the Fraxel? Laser Treatment."More than ever, cosmetic surgery is on the rise. With the popular TV reality shows, more and more interest is directed to this industry.

Does life imitate art? -- or does art imitate life? "We believe that with this evolution of plastic-surgery-based TV shows, the general public is no longer afraid to speak out about wanting to look good. It's as if the stigma has been lifted, and now, more than ever, people across the world are desiring youthful and healthy looks", reports Dr. Stevens. "A sudden rash of male clients, especially executives, are seeking out something to rejuvenate their appearance. They simply want to look their best ? which positively affects their self-esteem ? and that usually communicates to a more successful, confident individual." Of note: Cosmetic surgery is no longer for the select few, nor simply the ?rich and famous' ? but rather, it is now the mainstream population that seeks physical improvement? from ?Desperate Housewives to The Apprentices".
