Homeland Security and Security Management Specializations

Capella University Announces New Homeland Security and Security Management Specializations

Online university offers specializations through its BS in Public Safety online degree program

October 26, 2007 - MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Capella University (www.capella.edu), an accredited(a), fully online university based in Minneapolis, announced today that it is offering two new specializations within its Bachelor of Science in Public Safety online degree program - Homeland Security and Security Management. The specializations are designed to help meet employment needs within these growing fields. The Homeland Security specialization focuses on managing public security in relation to federal resources, while the Security Management specialization focuses on preparing individuals for leadership within the private security field.

"Since the Department of Homeland Security was created in 2001, it has grown into one of the largest federal agencies, and there are also many homeland security employment opportunities within other federal agencies and state and local governments. Our new Homeland Security specialization is designed to help prepare students to succeed in these important positions," said John Sullivan, Jr., PhD, Public Safety faculty chair in Capella's School of Undergraduate Studies. The National Security Agency and U.S. Department of Homeland Security have designated Capella University a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education. Capella is also one of few schools to have an educational alliance with the FBI.

"Our other new specialization, Security Management, focuses on the needs of private industry, where security has also increased in importance," said Dr. Sullivan. "Much of the nation's infrastructure is privately owned and there's a growing recognition that this needs to be protected, for both business and national security reasons."

Dr. Sullivan exemplifies Capella's philosophy of recruiting highly experienced scholar-practitioners for faculty and program leadership positions. Prior to beginning his academic career, which included service as academic dean and founding director of graduate studies in criminal justice for Lynn University, Sullivan had an extensive career with the U.S. Customs Service. He was a U.S. Treasury agent specializing in criminal investigations of fraud, internal security, money laundering, and child sexual exploitation before becoming an agent-in-charge of two large field offices. He also served as U.S. Customs headquarters section chief for general smuggling, during which time he authored some of the earliest threat assessments on terrorism in the 1980s. He has been a guest instructor at both the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center and the FBI Academy, has testified before Congress on crimes against children, and has served on the executive protection details of U.S. presidents and their families, presidential candidates, and heads of state. His professional certifications include Certified Homeland Security Practitioner (CHS-V), Certified Fraud Examiner, and Certified Business Manager, among others.

Capella is now accepting enrollment applications for its BS in Public Safety, Homeland Security and Security Management specializations. For more information, please call 1.888.CAPELLA (227.3552), option 3, or e-mail info@capella.edu. Review of these specializations is pending in AZ, FL, KY, SC, and WA.

Wiki Sells Over 1000 Web Pages in 11 Days

One Buck Wiki Sells Over 1000 Web Pages in Just 11 Days Since its Launch

Zedomax Network has launched a new website called OneBuckWiki.com

(PRWEB) October 24, 2007 -- Zedomax Network, a San Francisco-based Web2.0 company, has launched a new website called OneBuckWiki.com on October 12th. Users can buy a web page for only ten dollars guaranteed for at least 15 years. There is a strong buzz among bloggers and eBay users that the One Buck Wiki might be the next marketing tool for traffic and search engine optimization.

Since their launch 11 days ago, the One Buck Wiki seems to have caught fire among some of the Internet entrepreneurs, selling over 1000 pages while averaging about 100 pages per day.

Tempted by the exponential growth of the website, couples users have bought 50 pages at a time buying product keywords as "MP3" and "Cellphone". The One Buck Wiki page-owners have even started selling their pages on eBay.

Most users of the One Buck Wiki have pasted YouTube videos, forums, blogs, or simply put some interesting content with ads to generate revenue from incoming traffic. Some users have even bought their own names in order to reserve their spot in history.

Users can buy a page for only 10 dollars (Limited time only). As page owners, they can promote a blog, e-store or any other website(s). The page(s) users buy will solely have their content and no one else's.

"Basically, it's like Wikipedia but you can buy your own page that only you can edit. With all the spam issues with Wikipedia, paid Wikis such as One Buck Wiki are going to be great alternatives to businesses that are trying to promote their products and services," says Max, One Buck Wiki's founder.

The value of all pages will go up to $20 per page once when they have sold 2000 pages. At the rate they are selling their pages, One Buck Wiki might sell another 1000 pages within the next couple weeks.

The One Buck Wiki is a highly developed brand "new" concept on the ideas of the MDW (MillionDollarWiki.com) and the MEW (MillionEuroWiki.com).

The MillionDollarWiki does seem to have excited the Internet crowd, with some customers buying up to 15 pages at a time. Pages have even been traded, with the "Business" page selling on eBay for $6100.

Basically, the difference between the MillionDollarWiki and the OneBuckWiki is that a person can buy a page for ten dollars instead of one hundred dollars.

They have also launched the Five Dollar Wiki where users can buy pages for five dollars.

Zedomax Network will also be launching more Wiki sites in the near future where users will be able to benefit from community traffic and viral marketing.

Niche Article Marketing Tips

Article Marketing for Niche Audiences - Tips from Article Marketer

Article marketing has gained popularity as a tool for businesses to reach niche audiences. Article Marketer, the industry's most popular article submission service, offers some tips on how to streamline the process.

Hayward, Calif. (PRWEB) June 28, 2007 -- Article marketing has gained popularity as a tool for businesses to reach niche audiences. Article Marketer, the industry's most popular article submission service, offers some tips on how to streamline the process.

Entrepreneurs have become increasingly adept at identifying and reaching their target market online.

"Business owners know who they want to talk to," said Chris Ellington, CEO of Article Marketer. "What they need is a simple and affordable way to reach them."

Historically, companies have found it takes great effort to attract their target market straight to their business. As a result, a small group of savvy online business owners began to use basic marketing methods, such as article marketing, to reach a pre-gathered group of individuals in their target market.

The process starts with articles written by the business owner. These articles can pertain to anything relating to his or her industry. Once finished, articles are sent to publishers on the Web through an online article distribution service. The articles are only sent to pertinent publishers with a readership base interested in that particular topic.

"If this process wasn't successful in generating sales and profits, we'd note an obvious decline in the number of articles published," said Darryl Hupfer, managing director of Actuate Companies, LLC, a Boston-based marketing group. "Instead, we're seeing the opposite. We anticipate that article marketing will continue to expand as digital content demand increases. It's a great media opportunity."

Ellington has a few tips for savvy business owners looking to make the most of their marketing efforts.

- Narrow your focus.
Effective entrepreneurs know they can't reach everyone, so they work on gaining the loyalty and attention of a particular group. They are identifying the most effective means to reach the customers who they know will be interested in what they have to offer.

- Know your audience.
Target the audience with the content. There are a number of angles for any service that a business provides. You may be trying to appeal to parents, college students, single folk or the older generation. Figure out which audience to target, and tailor the content and the writing specifically for them.

- Keep the content fresh.
Companies should publish articles often, at least one or two articles a week. Not only does it keep the content timely, but it also keeps your name and business in circulation.

- Find a good distribution outlet.
This is a crucial element to your article marketing strategy. You may have the best business articles in the world, but it won't make a bit of difference if nobody can read them. Article Marketer puts out thousands of articles a day in a number of different categories, so chances are a business can easily find the necessary outlet for an article.

"The magic really happens when an article is published," said Ellington. "You automatically hit readers who are interested in what you have to say. Article marketing makes it easy for those customers to seek you out."

Literally thousands of articles a day are being submitted to Article Marketer. These authors understand the smart way to market is by partnering with established publishers. Don't miss a chance to have an article distributed to the online masses. For more information on article marketing, visit ArticleMarketer.com.
