Money for Stffing Envelopes
by Lea Turgeon 21 Jun '01

21 Jun '01

Recently I found your website for Stuff Envelopes as a job, My wife and I in the past have tried this type of work, we sent a payment, and never received the job packet they promised, we then call the Better Business Bureau(BBB), and to our surprise we had been taken for a ride(and lost our money); How can we be sure the same thing is not going to happen again. I have gone as far as to Call and E-Mail the BBB they state your company is not what you say it is, and they don't suggest we send any money("Why would you send money to start a job?"), I still am interested but scared to try this type work, How can we be sure that what you say is true? Please e-mail us back, if possible can we speak(Phone), If you have a phone number to call? --- Lea Turgeon --- leat32500(a)earthlink.net --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.

Consumers Union To Rate Credibility of Web Sites
by George＠Orwellian.Org 20 Jun '01

20 Jun '01

http://interactive.wsj.com/articles/SB991751206218456874.htm # # June 21, 2001 # # Consumers Union Project Aims # To Rate Credibility of Web Sites # # By STEPHANIE MILES # WSJ.COM # # Consumers Union, long a trusted name in rating consumer products, # offers online shoppers a window into electronic-commerce sites' # business, security and privacy policies. Now the group wants # to measure another critical component of a Web site: credibility. # # The Web Credibility Project, launched earlier this month, will # focus on how health, travel, advocacy, news and shopping sites # disclose business relationships with the companies and products # they cover or sell, especially when these relationships pose # a potential conflict of interest. Eventually, the group hopes # to draft credibility guidelines to be integrated into # ConsumerReports.org (www.consumerreports.org) the online entity # of Consumer Reports. # # The group has some lofty goals, such as targeting drug companies # who fail to adequately inform consumers about side effects and # indications for drugs promoted online. But it also will focus # on more mundane issues, such as convincing shopping and e-commerce # sites to display business addresses and phone numbers prominently. # # "It's about trying to find a way to get major media and major # e-commerce folks -- people who have a real stake in making sure # the Web is a credible place to do business -- to agree to a set # of standards," says Beau Brendler, director of the project. Mr. # Brendler was previously editorial director at Walt Disney Co. # Internet Group's ABCNews.com. # # While praising the motives behind Consumers Union's latest effort, # some wonder if credibility can be evaluated as easily as everyday # consumer goods such as cars and appliances. # # "Transparency, as a rule, is a good thing. How you actually # accomplish that, I don't know," says Wendell Cochran, director # of the journalism division at American University in Washington, # D.C. "It should be incumbent on a site to give as much information # as they could about who they are. But beyond that, credibility # comes out of a company's performance over a long period of time." # # Open Disclosure # # In devising a set of voluntary standards for Web sites, the # project aims to tackle concerns that consumers browsing cyberspace # don't always see potential conflicts of interest between Web-site # operators and the information they present. # # Consider ibreathe.com (www.ibreathe.com) At first glance, # ibreathe appears to be an independent health-information site, # serving up advice about asthma, allergies and other respiratory # ailments, but visitors have to scroll to the bottom of the page # to learn that the site is operated by GlaxoSmithKline PLC. # Consumers interested in asthma medications, for example, are # provided with information on GlaxoSmithKline drugs. # # GlaxoSmithKline believes the site is clear about its ties to # the drug company. # # "The sponsorship is apparent when one goes to the Web site," # says Lisa Behrens, a spokeswoman for GlaxoSmithKline, noting # that GlaxoSmithKline is a member of the Internet Healthcare # Coalition, which is focused on online ethics for health-infor # mation sites. "There is nothing that in anyway suggests that # this is third-party or independent information," Ms. Behrens # says. # # Still, the company is open to the suggestions of the Web # Credibility Project. "If there's any entity -- Consumers' Union # or others -- who has feedback or suggestions for GlaxoSmithKline, # I'm sure we'd welcome it," Ms. Behrens says. # # But the question of how to come to a consensus on credibility # issues can be tricky. Another example offered by Consumers Union's # Mr. Brendler is the Web site of Keep America Beautiful # (www.kab.org) Mr. Brendler calls Keep America Beautiful an # example of an "astroturf" site -- one that looks like a # grass-roots organization's Web outpost, but is in fact backed # by a corporate or advocacy group. # # Mr. Brendler's prescription for making KAB.org more credible # is for the site to more prominently link to or display the names # of its corporate backers, which Mr. Brendler says include "200 # companies that manufacture aluminum cans, paper goods, glass # bottles and plastics," such as Bethlehem Steel Corp., American # Forest & Paper Association, Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., # Pacific Gas & Electric and Philip Morris Cos. # # Walt Amacker, vice president and director of communications at # Keep America Beautiful, disagrees that KAB.org is disingenuous # about its backers. The site does include a comprehensive and # easy-to-find list of donors, accessible by two mouse clicks, # he says, which includes "anybody who's given any money through # corporations or foundations through January 2001." # # Although the sponsorship information may not be accessible where # most visitors would expect it to be -- under the heading "About # KAB," for example -- the group does provide a detailed list of # its corporate backers in the section of the site devoted to # fund-raising. # # KAB has never shied away from revealing its corporate backers, # Mr. Amacker says, because part of the purpose of the nonprofit # group is to educate communities about how to prevent litter, # toxic dumping and other misuse of industrial products. Mr. Amacker # points out that KAB was rated "most credible" in a 1998 survey # of environmental organizations conducted by Wirthlin Worldwide, # a research and consulting group. # # Standards Needed # # The idea for creating a set of credibility standards grew out # of a panel discussion at a 1998 conference sponsored by the # Project for Excellence in Journalism and Pew Charitable Trusts. # # Consumers Union received $4.8 million in grants to launch the # Web Credibility Project, including $2.7 million from Pew # Charitable Trusts, $2 million from the Knight Foundation and # $100,000 from the Open Society Institute. # # Consumers Union has shown it understands the online world, # launching ConsumerReports.org in 1997. Online subscriptions cost # $24 a year or $3.95 a month; subscribers to Consumer Reports # magazine are charged an additional $19 a year for the online # version. The site has more than 560,000 subscribers, making it # one of the more successful premium online properties. # # Lately, the site has been branching out, offering its reports # through e-commerce sites such as Amazon.com Inc., CNET Networks # Inc. and Yahoo Inc. # # There are already a variety of services, including comparison # -shopping guides such as BizRate.com Inc. and nonprofit # consumer-protection organizations like the Better Business # Bureau's BBBOnline, that are dedicated to promoting responsibility # online. # # BizRate, which provides its e-commerce ratings information to # ConsumerReports.org, says it is in favor of the new project and # doesn't see it interfering with its own services. For the month # of May, Bizrate.com received about 6.2 million unique visitors, # while ConsumerReports.org had about one million visitors, # according to Jupiter Media Metrix. # # The Web Credibility Project intends to go beyond ratings. The # group also plans to launch a Web site later this year, name an # advisory board of journalists and e-commerce experts, work with # groups such as the Online News Association and give out annual # awards recognizing the most credible sites on the Web. # # Online vs. Offline World # # Still, measuring and regulating the credibility of Internet sites # by asking companies to voluntarily comply with guidelines is # a thorny issue, as the disagreement between Messrs. Brendler # and Amacker over the credibility of the Keep America Beautiful # site illustrates. # # Although voluntary standards can "help set a tone," American # University's Mr. Cochran says, ultimately each site is responsible # for its own reputation. "You can put a seal of approval on # something, but it wouldn't mean anything until enough time had # passed, and enough circumstances had been experienced, for people # to make up their minds." # # The goal of getting sites to voluntarily disclose business # relationships is laudable, but runs the risk of holding online # publishers to a higher standard than offline ones, adds Phil # Brooks, a professor at the Missouri School of Journalism, who # notes that most movies include paid placement of products without # disclosing the financial relationship between the studio and # the product maker. # # "It would be good if there was full, open disclosure of these # kind of marketing practices," Mr. Brooks says. "But as a reality # I don't see that businesses that use online services and digital # media are going to adopt standards that are different than the # standards that are being followed in traditional media."

Don't report getting squirted by a kid, go to jail.
by Victoria Barracks 20 Jun '01

20 Jun '01

http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-weizner061201.shtml The first person charged under CCAA, Hector Flores, was a deliveryman for NotFauna.com. Two years ago, while carrying a heavy vase of flowers into the home of a paraplegic customer, he was squirted by one of the customer's kids with a water pistol. The customer apologized and Flores forgot about the matter, but subsequently, when the same child squirted a pizza-delivery man, who reported the incident, the ensuing investigation uncovered the previous assault on Flores. Flores was charged with child abuse for having failed to report the episode, which might have prevented the attack on the pizza deliverer. Convicted and sentenced to two years in a facility for child molesters, Flores appealed, arguing that the law referred only to actual firearms, not to purple water pistols. The court ruled that although the language of the statute read "firearms" and not "actual firearms," the prosecution had nevertheless acted reasonably in extending the state's school policy of zero tolerance to the home. After his release, Flores will be required to register as a child abuser wherever he lives while serving his 19 years' probation. The child will be returned to his family later this year when his parents have completed the state's Violence Begins in the Home crime-prevention program.

[BG Capital Group] June 20, 2001 Volume 1 Issue 2 [Image] Dear Investor Over the last year, investors have often suffered through the daily roller coaster of the stock market, a roller coaster whose wheels rest soundly in the tech sector. Investors have been watching their positions dwindle as common sense returned to the market and words like revenues and earnings once again had meaning. Today, the market seems abuzz with the pursuit of a catchy phrase, upside potential. We assume that means future profitability and growth. In contrast to the carefree tech run of the recent past, upside potential must now be combined with a sturdy business plan tested over more than a quarter. You just cant add dot com to a word and hand it to the public. So, while investors still welcome the sex appeal of a story that could be the next eBay, logical investors are also finding enthusiasm for companies with balance sheets that confirm their business plans. We believe weve found a company with just that sort of promise. The Neptune Society (OTC: BB: NTUN) is a company entrenched in an industry that many of us never realized was quite so profitable, though ultimately, all of us will eventually need. What does this company do? Well, more than likely youve seen the ads on television. The Neptune Society provides cremation services in the death care industry; an industry that locks in profits on Pre-Need revenues, an industry on the cusp of the aging Baby Boomer generation. The Neptune Society is a company with a record of predictable, positive income results based on a $40 million trust, 55,000 active contracts, and nearly 1,500 appointments scheduled for goods and services every month. According to Neptune chief operating officer (COO) David Schroeder, The Neptune Society has come a very long way. As a whole, we are very encouraged by our sales. Our revenues are up, our operating efficiency has improved, and we set a record in May for Pre-Need sales and cash collected. Another important factor in our success is in our market share. Across the industry, some companies have experienced up to a 12 percent drop in market share while our market share has increased two to five percent. Our unique management and marketing structure has been extremely effective in delivering results. Lou Fischler, a top analyst at Banyan Capital Markets, has written an in-depth research report his firm has issued to initiate coverage on The Neptune Society. He took time to talk to us this week. The company has a good story to tell. Management took a fragmented group of partnerships and unified them into one efficient, consolidated, public company. Taking over the operations and financially engineering them into one operating company is impressive. They can now start to focus on accelerating their marketing, producing growth, and implementing their business model. The companys true operating adjusted cash-flow for the first quarter was approximately $500,000. Now with its operating structure firmly in place, it is positioned to concentrate more of its resources to drive Pre-Need sales and generate more and more cash flow. Because of Neptunes revenue recognition policy and significant non-cash expenses, its reported financial results tend to understate its real operating performance. As a result, cash flow is more relevant in determining value than net earnings for this company. The management at the Neptune Society has jumped some very high hurdles and landed on its feet. The company is a major player in its industry and its year-over-year numbers are outstanding. Sound Interesting? Take a look at these bullet points: The Neptune Society offers new investors and current shareholders a fundamentally sound business model and four unique elements that are significant to growth. EXISTING ASSETS When the trust was established in 1988 its beginning marker was $0. In 1994 it had risen to $16 million and now, in 2001, the total pre-funded cremation arrangements exceed $40 million. With Neptune's continued expansion, estimates for the fund are $74 million by 2004. SALES The trust supports a growing bottom line. Cremation costs 50-80% less than traditional burials and Pre-Need contracts at the Neptune Society have grown at an annual compound rate of 32.7% from 1998 to 2000 with a historical cancellation rate for Pre-Need services at less than one percent. REVENUES In addition to the companys main channels of revenues, the Neptune Society also benefits from sales that include registration services like a travel rider that ranges from $50-300, and is immediately recognized as revenue and an 8% interest charge in California and Oregon on Pre-Need installment programs SOLID MANAGEMENT During the past two years, a talented group of four senior executives has been recruited to operate Neptune. Collectively, these executives possess substantial functional expertise and over 100 years of combined experience in the cremation industry. Marco Markin became the first member of Neptune current management team when he became a member of Neptunes Board of Directors in June 1999 and its President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in September 1999. David L. Schroeder was recruited to be Neptunes Chief Operating Officer (COO) on June 1, 2000, and became a Director and its Secretary in November 2000. Rodney M. Bagley became a Director, the Chief Financial Officer and the Treasurer of Neptune in November 2000. Gary I. Harris became Neptunes National Sales Manager and a Director in March 2000.

Breaking News!!!

20 Jun '01

[Stocknight.com] [Image] [Image] Issue 8 June 20, 2001 Editor's Note [Image] Today, StockNight brings to you a substantial press release from a company with a business plan a little different from those we normally feature. The release, issued close to the end of trading today, announces the listing of The Neptune Society on the OTC bulletin board. The company had been trading on the Pink Sheets in the $5 range before this long awaited announcement. The Neptune Society (otcbb: NTUN). [Image] Headquartered in Burbank, CA., The Neptune Society Inc. is one of North America's largest cremation specialists, and is the only publicly traded company dealing solely in cremation services. The Neptune Society, operating for nearly three decades with locations in California, Florida, New York, Washington, Iowa, Oregon and Arizona has provided thousands of cremation services and currently has close to 60,000 active contracts and nearly $40 million in trust in its unique Pre-Need program. The Neptune Society's goal is to provide a simple, dignified and economic alternative to the traditional funeral burial service system. Breaking News [Image] The Neptune Society Receives Approval on Its Form 211. Company Now Listed on the OTC Bulletin Board. BURBANK, Calif., June 20 -- The Neptune Society (OTC Bulletin Board: NTUN), one of the country's largest publicly traded cremation specialists, announced today that the Form 211 that has been filed by Herzog Heine Geduld, a Merrill Lynch Company, has been approved and The Neptune Society has returned to trading on the National Association Securities Dealers Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. The Neptune Society Inc. is one of North America's largest cremation specialists, and is the only publicly traded company with a business strategy that focuses solely on providing cremation services. The Company believes its competitive strategy coupled with a selective acquisition and expansion program will enable the Company to establish itself as a leader in the cremation service industry and maximize shareholder value. Neptune's plan is to become the largest and most trusted name in the cremation service industry. During the last 12 months, the Company completed three strategic acquisition/mergers in Washington, Oregon and Iowa and opened one new office in the Seattle, Washington area, resulting in a market presence serving approximately five million people in Washington, Oregon and Iowa. As a result of these acquisitions, the Neptune Society now has a market presence in seven different states, including California, Florida and New York. The Neptune Society is currently planning two additional ``start-up'' locations, which are anticipated to be opened this year. The targeted market areas have a total population in excess of another two and one half million people. In addition, the Company is examining four new states as possible locations for ``start-up'' locations during 2002. The Company believes that continued growth and development of The Neptune Society brand name will assist the Company in achieving its goal of becoming the largest provider of cremation services in the United States. An added benefit to the Portland, Oregon transaction is that The Apogee Companies, Inc. has become a major shareholder in the Neptune Society. Roy P. Disney (of the Disney family), and Apogee's Chairman said, ``We will miss having CMC as one of our Apogee Companies, but we are looking forward to becoming part of a much bigger effort with our new friends down the street at Neptune.'' Marco Markin, President and CEO of the Neptune Society, said, ``I am happy that the Neptune Society is now a full reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and more importantly with the growth that Neptune has achieved over the last 18 months. Market share in Washington, Oregon and Iowa has surpassed our expectations and we foresee continued growth in these states.'' For further information regarding Neptune Society contact: Gary R.
