Mark Sanford Says He Trespassed to Watch Super Bowl With Son

Mark Sanford has responded to his ex-wife's allegations that he trespassed on her property, saying he went to her house to watch the Super Bowl with his son.

"It's an unfortunate reality that divorced couples sometimes have disagreements that spill over into family court. I did indeed watch the second half of the Super Bowl at the beach house with our 14-year-old son because as a father I didn't think he should watch it alone," the former governor said in a statement today.

"Given she was out of town I tried to reach her beforehand to tell her of the situation that had arisen, and met her at the back steps under the light of my cell phone when she returned and told her what had happened," Sanford said.

A judge has ordered a hearing for May 9, two days after Sanford's House election, at which Sanford will have to explain why he came to the house. Jenny Sanford's attorney, Deena Smith McRackan, filed a complaint on March 21, according to court documents obtained by ABC News.

According to the documents, Jenny Sanford's attorney alleged that after returning home from an out-of-state trip with one of her sons, Jenny Sanford found her ex-husband leaving her house through the back door, using his cell phone as a flashlight, violating a divorce agreement that neither Jenny nor Mark should enter the other's property without permission.

Jenny Sanford's attorney had alleged trespassing before. In February 2011, her attorney sent a letter to Sanford alleging he had "repeatedly entered onto her property after she advised you that you should not come."

In his statement today, Sanford raised the question of why court documents have surfaced so close to his election. Having won a primary and primary run-off, Sanford will face Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch on May 7 in the final round of his bid to reclaim South Carolina's First Congressional District House seat, which he represented in the 1990s. The hearing is set for May 9.

"There is always another side to every story, and while I am particularly curious how records that were sealed to avoid the boys dealing with embarrassment are now somehow exposed less than three weeks before this election. I agree with Jenny that the media is no place to debate what is ultimately a family court matter, and out of respect for Jenny and the boys, I'm not going to have any further comment at this time," Sanford said.

Jenny Sanford told the Associated Press that the timing of the complaint had nothing to do with her ex-husband's run for elected office.

The Internet Marketing Tactics You Didn't Know About

Web marketing is essential when developing your business. It simply can?t be avoided. Internet marketing may be all that stands between a stagnant business and a flourishing one. The following tips will help you market your business successfully on the Internet.

Online advertising is a great way to get attention and draw people to your site. This may be a big investment, but it can make a great big difference. Make certain to chose the site your ad will be seen on wisely; it should be very popular and a great place to showcase your business.

Make sure you have a good way to keep site statistics. These statistics should include things like, referrals, refunds, sales and website traffic as well as any other stats that may prove helpful. Using good accounting skills to assemble statistics enables you to see your business in full, and identify both what is working and what may need tweaking in your marketing plan.

TIP! Create an eye-catching ?Link to Us? clickable button for your site to encourage your visitors to link back to your website. People that think alike will click it and your site will be linked to theirs, this will guarantee that your link will be visible to them.

Emails are vital to effective Internet promotion. Your ideas should be well guarded. Free webmail services should be avoided, because they delete outdated messages; it is essential that you always have access to your past emails. Pay for reputable companies to archive and maintain this sensitive information.

Placing wording in advertisements that assures people of instant gratification is helpful for just about any service or product Place the emphasis on the speed and alacrity with which customers will receive their order. This can help download times, have a good time with checkout, and confirm your orders.

Partnering with different-minded people can be mutually beneficial to both parties. This way, you can get discounts for your customers and offer discounts to your partner?s customers.

TIP! Before considering search engine rankings or things of that nature, you must build a website that people will want to visit. This will be the first, and one of the most important, steps for anyone building a web business.

You might want to offer a subscription service that customers can use when purchasing items on your site. You can give them the option of automatically receiving a set amount of product every week or month at a deeply discounted per item rate.

As you begin your online marketing, you must also consider advertising. Advertising is usually a wise investment as it can draw consumer interest your company would not receive otherwise. Doing so can bring in business that is difficult to find in other ways.

One way to ensure visitors click on ads is to create clickable images that will take visitors to a description page of your product. Try creating an advertisement that blends seamlessly with the text of an article, so that it appears to be a continuation of the content. It doesn?t look like an advertisement.

TIP! Believe it or not, everything you need for a successful internet marketing career is already at your disposal. Expensive tools of the trade that promise you can get rich quick are not what will prove important.

Blog several times a week to enhance your internet marketing attempt. A blog gives you another way to communicate with your customer base. Blogging adds more content to your website, which can give you a larger presence on the internet. This frequently translates into more traffic to your site.

You need to make your site stand out from the competition. There are a ton of sites online, and yours needs to be noticeable if you want a share of the traffic. One way to begin distinguishing your website from others is to emphasize a service you offer that no one else does.

Be sure to provide a customer feedback section, which you can manage carefully. With honest feedback, you can improve your product offerings. In addition, potential customers can buy with confidence after reading reviews written by others who have already purchased the items and have provided their opinions.

TIP! Use a lot of promos on your check out page. You could give a choice of three different half-price items.

Hard work beats luck any day of the week. Working hard creates its own luck, and it is common to all successful internet marketing ventures. Every large corporate company has had to put in huge amounts of time, money and effort in order to build a profitable global business; luck will have played only a very small part in their success. Does the Coca Cola Company owe it?s success to good luck? They did not. They had a well-oiled marketing machine.

If you are offering certain claims about your product, they must be true. Offer concrete evidence; create videos of yourself demonstrating your products or the skills necessary to providing the services you offer for instance. Always try and use the products you sell so that you know what you?re talking about.

For the most part, affiliate marketing is very similar to other forms of marketing except for the manner of delivering information. One example is search engines might stop using title tags in their algorithms. If this happens, it will benefit you to put a lot of effort into something else, like a video marketing campaign that will reach a large viral audience.

TIP! Connect with a reputable charity. Find a charity that interests your audience and give a portion of your profits to it.

The use of tools that can make your text stand out are very important when you are setting up the content of your site. Make the text more visible with bold or italics. In this way, you can influence your customers? reception of a message and clarify the central points.

Put your site in a format that is more user friendly. The format can make your site visible and helpful to visitors most interested in what it offers.

When shipping an order to a customer, be sure to include some type of free gift or sample, relative to the item sold. A coupon is a great way to get some repeat business.

TIP! If you website is static and rarely ever changes, perhaps you should consider including a blog on your site. To keep your rankings up with search engines continually add fresh content.

The internet is an effective free resource to help evaluate your market approach since you may not be able to afford a marketing consultant. Check out online communities for business owners, start following marketing blogs, download free e-books, and check out free seminars.

Affiliate marketing isn?t just a luxury now, it?s a necessity. If you are conducting business online, it?s something you can?t ignore. If you keep the tips you?ve just read in mind when you lay out your business?s Website marketing strategy, you?ll significantly improve its effectiveness.

Suicide bomber, landmines rock northern Mali

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) ? A suicide bomber attempted to force his way past the defenses of the city of Timbuktu on Saturday, detonating himself on its outskirts, while a landmine exploded in another part of northern Mali, killing a total of three, officials said.

The twin attacks come as French President Francois Hollande told French television that French forces had attained their objectives in Mali, a country which until January had lost its northern half to an al-Qaida cell and their allies. After the extremists began a southward push, Hollande unilaterally authorized a military intervention, quickly liberating the main cities in the north. Outside the heavily fortified cities like Timbuktu, however, the jihadists are still present, leading an increasingly brutal insurgency.

"The jihadist was driving a car loaded with explosives," said a military official based in Timbuktu, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press. "He arrived on the road from Goundam at the Timbuktu checkpoint, and our elements opened fire. He blew himself up," killing himself and injuring at least one soldier, said the official.

Timbuktu resident Age Djitteye said he heard a loud explosion and heavy gunfire, starting at 10 p.m. on Saturday. By midnight on Sunday the shooting had receded, he said by telephone.

In a statement, the Ministry of Defense also confirmed that an army vehicle drove over a landmine during a patrol around 110 kilometers (70 miles) from the northern Malian town of Ansongo, killing two people on board.

For 10 months until this January, Timbuktu as well as much of the rest of northern Mali was ruled by al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, as well as two other jihadist groups allied with the terror network.

Sony Computer Entertainment to fuse Asian and Japanese units into one

Image

As part of recent restructuring and cost-cutting efforts, Sony's Computer Entertainment (SCE) division will merge its Asian and Japanese operations into a single entity. The company said that it would result in a new management unit, with SCE Japan president Hiroshi Kawano taking the helm and the Asian unit's ex-chief, Hiroyuki Oda becoming his deputy. Departments like marketing and finance will also merge in an effort to save cash, as the company hopes to stanch all the recent bleeding and try to make its fiscal 2012 a throwback to the glory days.

Police: Eiffel Tower evacuated after bomb threat

French police stand guard near the Eiffel Tower in Paris on March 30, 2013. The Eiffel Tower was evacuated after an anonymous phone call announced an attack, said a police source. The perimeter of the monument was secured and about 1,400 people were evacuated shortly before 9 p.m.

By Nancy Ing and Becky Bratu, NBC News

French police say the Eiffel Tower has been completely evacuated after an anonymous individual called in a bomb threat Saturday.

The call received at 7 p.m. local time warned of a possible attack at 9:30 p.m. local time.

Investigators used sniffer dogs to search the Eiffel Tower for any suspicious devices.

About 1,400 tourists and staffers were evacuated from the tower. French police have received similar calls in the past and have always evacuated the famous tourist attraction as a precaution. The tower was evacuated at least once last year and twice in 2011, according to The Associated Press.

News website Le Parisien reported that police said the threat was called in from a telephone booth in a Paris suburb.
