Some Valuable Information About Creative Business Card Designs
Before any entrepreneur plans to develop one such card for his start-up firm, he will have to understand certain things about them and here are some of the facts to be known about them:
As the first step, it is better to view different designs of cards through the World Wide Web and decide on the model that would be suitable for him. However, as he will come across different designs, it might be difficult for him to arrive at a decision with respect to the design that would be suitable for his firm. In such a situation a professional firm dealing with creative business card designs can offer him with the right kind of guidance in this respect.
Creativity is the main factor in designing the right model and only a professional firm with the right kind of professionals working in this area can enable organizations to create the right kind of attractive card. Most of the people believe that only when they pay higher cost, they will be in a position to get good service. But, the fact is that there are some service providers offering the best service at affordable cost as well and this is true in the case of business card designer as well. So, just the appearance of a card will not make any difference, it is the content that will make the difference (i.e.) it should enable the viewer to get the required information about any organization. For Instance, it should provide the address, contact number, website URL and mail Id of the firm in such a way that if they are in need of any service, they can contact the businessmen.
As mentioned earlier, creativity is the key for any business card to succeed and so it is better to get the help of a professional firm ensuring creative business card designs.

2 top college hoops games aboard ships called off

The next time No. 4 Ohio State, No. 10 Florida, Georgetown and Marquette try to play aboard a ship, they might need more than their jump shots and fast breaks.
They may want to bring mops and buckets, too.
A pair of big men's college basketball openers were called off Friday night when the makeshift courts were hardly shipshape. Instead, the floors became too wet because of condensation and the matchups were canceled.
Florida led Georgetown 27-23 at halftime in the Navy-Marine Corps Classic on the USS Bataan in Jacksonville, Fla., when it was stopped. The game will not count and will not be made up.
"It's just tough around this time, the weather," Florida guard Kenny Boynton said. "I'm not sure what caused the water, but it's definitely tough. We've got to get an indoor event, I guess."
Ohio State and Marquette never got started aboard the USS Yorktown in Mount Pleasant, S.C. The tipoff was delayed for about a half-hour as coaches, players and officials waited for the conditions to improve. The weather didn't get better, and the teams are unlikely to reschedule the meeting this season.
"All were apprehensive about playing the game," referee John Cahill said. "You could feel the wet spots on the floor. Our primary concern is with the student-athlete. The last thing we want is any kid who's got a future in the game of basketball to be injured as a result of this."
No. 9 Syracuse and No. 20 San Diego State are set to play Sunday afternoon on the USS Midway in San Diego. The game aboard the flight deck of the aircraft carrier was originally scheduled for Friday night, but moved back because of a strong chance of rain and wind.
"The purpose of the game is to play it on the Midway," SDSU coach Steve Fisher said.
Late Friday afternoon, the Yorktown hosted a women's game as No. 7 Notre Dame beat No. 19 Ohio State 57-51 without any problems on the court.
The Ohio State-Marquette matchup was part of the second Carrier Classic, the first a magnificent spectacle last year between North Carolina and Michigan State attended by President Barack Obama on the USS Carl Vinson outside San Diego.
The contest raises money for several groups that help troops and veterans. It was a showcase for Veterans Day weekend.
Marquette coach Buzz Williams said the lost game wouldn't change his mind about playing again on an aircraft carrier.
"We'll play anywhere, anytime in this type of event for this type of purpose," he said.
Florida and Georgetown had no problems on the court in the first half. The teams warmed up after the break, then players, coaches and the referees tried to no avail to dry the surface on the 388-foot amphibious assault ship.
Event organizers said they want to try to play it again next year.
"We've got to go back to work and maybe become meteorologists and do some things different. We and the Navy are committed to the event and doing it right," said Alan Verlander, director of sports and entertainment for the city of Jacksonville.

What if neither Mitt Romney nor President Obama wins on Nov. 6?
What if neither Mitt Romney nor President Obama is the clear winner on Nov. 6? What if we wake up on Wednesday morning, and find out that in one, three, five, or even more states, the outcome is in doubt, and America is heading for court battles that will make Florida in 2000 look like a tussle at the local PTA?
The possibility of that happening has never been greater. More than 10 states are putting new election laws into effect in this election dealing with voter identification, early voting, or absentee ballots. Other states are altering their election laws in less obvious ways that affect administration. Each of these changes increases the possibility that there will be unintentional errors, confusion, or systemic failure.
Remember the butterfly ballot in Palm Beach? If that one innocent snafu had not been made by a local Democratic election official, Al Gore would have been easily elected.
OPINION: 3 views on whether US states should require voter ID
But there?s more. The parties and outside groups are lawyering up to respond to these changes, and to the fears that the ballots will be tainted.
On the Democratic side, many believe that millions of voters could be disenfranchised by voter identification laws. Or, voter watch groups will challenge legitimate voters in heavily Democratic precincts, tying up the voting process. If challenges push lines to an hour or more to vote, some voters will be unable or unwilling to wait for their chance to cast a ballot for President Obama.
Democrats also worry about widespread registration fraud on the part of Republicans. In battleground Virginia, it seems that a Republican contractor threw away Democratic registration cards. This follows reports that a firm linked to registration fraud worked for the Romney campaign and the Republican Party of North Carolina, another swing state.
On the other side, Republicans seem deeply afraid of voter fraud, from illegal immigrants or from multiple voting by the same persons.
Patrick Moran, son of Virginia Democratic Rep. Jim Moran, resigned from his father?s campaign last week after being secretly recorded by a conservative activist. The congressman?s son seemed to advise the activist, who was pretending to be a supporter, that utility bills could be used to commit voter fraud.
These largely phantom fears about voter fraud will motivate Republicans to police the polls with unprecedented fervor. As was revealed to many voters in 2000, America, unlike most advanced democracies, does not have, in most states, a nonpartisan election administration system. Instead, elected or appointed partisans are typically in charge of elections. This is such a bad idea, that when we set up quasi-democracies in Afghanistan and Iraq, we didn?t copy our own system.
And unlike almost all other advanced democracies, America has a creaky, state and locally run election system that is woefully underfunded and can be inaccurate. For some widely used voting methods, the fail rate, in which a voter?s intent is unable to be ascertained, is well above 2 percent of ballots cast, which would be an outrage in western Europe. The fail rate is even higher for absentee ballots, as is the risk of fraud.
OPINION: It's almost Nov. 6. Do you know what books Obama and Romney have been reading?
In an election where both candidates are polling at a statistical tie, we are poised for a perfect storm of election controversy. And if it emerges, it will be very difficult to resolve easily.
The hatred level on both sides seems to have risen to new heights in contemporary politics. Moderates are an endangered species in Congress and both parties seem convinced that the other is not just wrong, but evil. The ?Big Sort? continues to separate Americans into red and blue churches, workplaces, counties, and social networks.
Americans are also much less likely to trust neutral institutions today than in 2000, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics (it issues the monthly jobs report), or the Gallup Poll.
The Supreme Court itself has lost esteem in the eyes of the public. In 2000, Democrats, led by Vice President Gore, accepted the court?s narrow ruling for Bush. Would partisans, particularly those on the left, be willing to see the court put a conservative in office in a contested election ? twice in 12 years?
And asking the high court to resolve one state?s deadlocked disaster of an election recount is a piece of cake compared to resolving multiple states in dispute, each raising different issues, under different state laws, with different governing precedents and procedures.
Ultimately, I?m sure the nation would survive a two- or three- or four-month election court battle. But the costs would be extremely high.
How would markets react to another protracted period of struggle over election outcomes? How about our allies and potential enemies around the globe?
And a lot has to happen immediately after the election that involves compromise between the lame duck Congress and Mr. Obama ? not least of which is avoiding the ?fiscal cliff? come January. Could that happen while Republicans and Democrats are fighting in the county courthouses of Ohio and Florida and Virginia for every dimpled chad and questionable voter registration?
Great nations often decline most rapidly via internal power struggles. Rome had no greater enemy than strife among Romans for the right to rule. The stakes in this election could not be higher, in ways that most people don?t realize.
Bigger than any single issue, bigger than the entire agendas of both candidates, looms the question: Can America still peacefully exchange power without bitter controversy and weeks of uncertainty?
So, before you hope that your candidate wins, hope that one of them emerges with a clear victory. Or if there is no clear winner, that the candidates and the parties are governed by reason and the greater interest of the country, instead of by passion, recrimination, and self-interest.
OPINION: Is GOP at war with women? 4 points to keep in mind on the gender gap
No matter which side you support, a President Romney or a President Obama would be much better for America than a President Nobody for months on end.
