Independent Scholars' Evenings:
"Social Networking Etiquette"
Is Social Networking Rudeness on the Rise?

By

Mark McLaughlin
Author
Public Relations Director at Results Marketing.

Mark McLaughlin will explore the transgressions of online etiquette in his
presentation. He will provide tips on how to avoid annoying or rude behavior. He
will also provide suggestions on how to nurture positive Internet relationships.
McLaughlin believes that annoying or inconsiderate social networking behavior
is, in part, a product of the fast times in which we live.
"Our culture is passing through a time of brisk technological development," he
says. "Modern life is changing at a frantic pace - and that's okay. But as the
world changes, sometimes people concentrate too much on their own objectives and
manners fly out the window - and that's not okay."
Because Facebook and other social networks are free, people sometimes feel that
"anything goes" -- but in reality, nothing could be further from the truth.
"Abusing a free service is almost doubly inconsiderate," he said. "People should
be grateful for the service and treat its other users with respect.

Think about this social networking scenario: Suppose you are an author and some
of your Facebook friends are also authors. But since they write books in the
same genre as your works, they are also competitors. When those authors post ads
for their books on your Facebook page without asking you, are they being rude?

Money Coach Debunks Financial Planning Myths

When it comes to the best ways to use money, too many Americans operate under a key misconception, says investment adviser and financial planner Ike Ikokwu.

"Money is opportunity, and having a blind spot for maximizing investment can drastically reduce one's future options," says Ikokwu, author of Winning the Money Game: Separating the Myths from the Truth (www.winningthemoneygame.net).

That blind spot is debt, he says. Just as Americans have learned that are such things as good fats and good cholesterol, so too is there good debt for a prosperous financial future.

"The three most common ways people in this country get rich all involve using debt," he says. "They use it to launch businesses, invest in real estate, or pay for advanced degrees in order to become high-income earners."

Some myths born from the idea that all debt is bad include :

• Paying off your home mortgage provides financial security.
• A 15-year mortgage is always the quickest way to pay off your home.
• Putting money in your 401K or other qualified plan saves you taxes.
• The stock market is the only place to generate high, double-digit returns.

Admonishments to "stay out of debt" prevent people from gaining financial independence, Ikokwu says. Investing in education, a new career in another state or a new business may be more lucrative than paying down a mortgage.

"My definition of being 'debt-free' is to have enough money so that you can pay off your debt at any time - if you need to,'' he says. "But you don't necessarily want to do that. Good debt can save you money on taxes, increase your investment gains and allow you to take advantage of wealth-building opportunities. Bad debt, on the other hand, is like having a big hole in your money bucket."

Ikokwu developed a new personal financial plan after a period of successful investing imploded following the market crash in 2001. After filing for bankruptcy in 2003, he rebuilt his wealth - using his new plan - in five years. Today he is financially independent and his wealth secure.

"To a greater extent than many Americans suppose, money is plastic," he says. "That means you do not have to be rich in order to gain more wealth, and we do not have to follow old, outdated paths. We can all mold the money we have to a shape that yields better return."

About Ike Ikokwu

Ike Ikokwu, "The Financial Independence Coach," is a CPA, CFP and registered investment adviser. He holds a bachelor's in accounting and a master's in personal financial planning. Ikokwu is president and CEO of Winning the Money Game with Ike, a tax and financial advisory firm in Cumming, Ga. While working for "Big 6" tax firms and buying real estate, Ikokwu funneled his profits into domestic and international investments, only to realize too late that they were Ponzi schemes. Forced to declare personal bankruptcy in 2003, he rebuilt his wealth by changing his approach to finances. Tune into Atlanta's WGUN-1010 (AM) at 11 a.m. Saturdays for his weekly show.

The current standards have changed little since their adoption in 1987. The new standards mirror the 2005 Model Standards of Conduct for Mediators with one exception. The court added a provision concerning the scope of the rules. This provision provides that the "standards apply to mediators who are lawyers licensed to practice law in Iowa, mediators who participate in any mediation program approved by a court of this state, and mediators in any matter required to be mediated by an Iowa court order or rule."
