By Alicia H. Munnell
Fidelity announced with great fanfare in mid-February that the average 401(k) balance hit a record high of $77,300 by the end of 2012. It is good news that balances are up from a year earlier, but $77,300 does not indicate success in retirement saving. There is nothing encouraging about this number.
For most private sector workers, their 401(k) will be their only supplement to Social Security. Social Security benefits will be less generous in the future than in the past even under current law. Four things are happening. First, as the full retirement age moves from 65 to 67, the benefit at 65 is declining. Second, rapidly rising Medicare premiums are deducted from the check before it goes in the mail. Third, benefits for the typical worker will eventually be taxed under the personal income tax. Fourth, couples get lower benefits relative to their pre-retirement earnings than they used to, as working wives increasingly receive benefits based on their own earnings instead of the 50-percent spouse's benefit. Again, all of these reductions occur under current law.
In addition, Social Security faces a deficit over the next 75 years, and the time is coming when Congress will be forced to decide the role that tax increases and benefits cuts should play in restoring balance. Benefit cuts will almost certainly be part of any solvency package. So, the message is that people will get much less from Social Security relative to their pre-retirement earnings going forward.
The only real supplement for most private sector workers will be their 401(k) plan. A balance of $77,300 would produce a monthly income of about $360. That's an alarmingly small amount. Combine that with diminished Social Security benefits and most American households are going to face hard times once they stop working.
Now $77,300 is not really the right number to look at. On the one hand, it is an average; a median would be lower. On the other hand, it is calculated for all 401(k) holders; balances for those approaching retirement are higher. In addition, a lot of 401(k) money has been rolled over into individual retirement accounts (IRAs), and those balances should be added when evaluating the financial preparedness of those approaching retirement.
The latest source of nationally representative 401(k)/IRA balances is the 2010 Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances. The table above shows the median combined 401(k)/IRA holdings for households approaching retirement by their place in the income distribution.
Two factors stick out. First, holdings are small even when viewed on a household as opposed to an individual basis, looking at people just before retirement when their balances should be largest, and including IRAs as well as 401(k)s. Second, even in the middle group, only half of households have a 401(k). It's not Fidelity's job to point out the lack of universal coverage. But it is their job to put the modest balances in perspective. There is nothing to celebrate here.

America Alone - Comments
Have been reading America Alone by Mark Steyn and can say that the book is a "must read" for several reasons. I am one of the lone 173,000 folks who subscribe to the National Review. As stated earlier, I like actually holding newspapers, magazines, and books. Gives me a great feel of closeness to the writer and allows me to ponder from time to time the words on the printed page. Hardly a paragraph of the book goes by without having a note-worthy quotation in it:
This book is about the ...larger forces at play in the developed world that have left Europe too enfeebled to resist its remorseless transformation into Eurabis and that call into question the future of much of the rest of the world, including the United States, Canada, and beyond. The key factors are:Further, Steyn points out that Russia had 148 million people in 1992. It is projected that the Russian population will fall below 130 million by 2015... (p. 27) He even further posits that perhaps the US should negotiate to "buy" Siberia. Considering my view that the US and Russia should be closer allies, that does not appear to be possible just because Russia is in its death throes and its arsenal of nuclear weapons could easily transfer to entities who wish to do us ill. The world is in a geopolitical shift and the West or what remains of it, including some of the US politicians on the Left, need to realize that they won't want to be wearing headscarves, dethroned, and have to have a male relative accompany them out on their shopping jaunts. I read somewhere that many of the Saudi wealthy love to come to America because even the women can escape some of the restrictions placed upon them under Wahabbism. Perhaps, but what happens should the dream of the mullahs be realized and Islamification overcomes the United States? No shopping sprees then. While Muslims everywhere tend to identify themselves by their political/pseudo-religion as Muslims first, last, and always, my question is: once you've Islamicized the West, where will you go for fun? It is no accident that Islam stunts creativity and intellectual pursuit as well as relegating the individual to the will of the group/tribe. One more troubling thing about Russia, 70% of pregnancies are terminated and Russia has the fastest-growing rate of HIV infection in the world. (p. 28) Back to Europe for a moment. Instead of the colonial powers of yore pollenating the colonized lands with the ideals of equality among men, the once colonial powers are (largely due to "white guilt" and the sell-out through the EU and the UN) being colonized by their "former subjects" and the result will be devastating. One question for the aging Europeans who are quite happy with the welfare state they have created for themselves - how long do you think the Islamists will support you? As Steyn comments:
To Americans, it doesn't always seem obvious that there's any connection between the "war on terror" and the so-called "pocketbook issues" of domestic politics. But there is a correlation between the structural weaknesses of the social-democratic state and the rise of globalized Islam. (p.xx) In their (the Left's) prioritization of "a woman's right to choose," feminists have helped ensure that European women will end their days in a culture that doesn't accord women the right to choose anything. Non-Muslim females in heavily Muslim neighborhoods in France now wear headscarves while out on the streets. (p. 16) It will be Russia's fate to have large chunks of its turf annexed by the Islamic world, and much of what's left fall to the Chinese. (p. 31)
- Demographic decline
- The unsustainability of the advanced Western social-democratic state (read welfare state)
- Civilization exhaustion (pp.xv-xvi)
Europe, like Japan, has catastrophic birth rates and a swollen pampered elderly class determined to live in defiance of economic reality. But the difference is that on the Continent the successor population is already in place and the only question is how bloody the transfer of real estate will be. (p.32)Euthanasia anyone? Remember, what you think is a good idea when you are young or middle-aged might not seem so promising when you are older and not ready to go quietly into that good night. What happens when the state (Islamic) decides that supporting you, old, worn out, and non-Muslim just isn't cost effective? Maybe Mark Steyn's book won't be a best-seller as the lady at the bookstore states but then maybe it should be. And kudos to whomever did the cover - a globe with the flag of the United States of America (to be politically correct now that being American is seen as hemispheric) over the US and the flag of Islam over the rest. Personally, I don't want America to be alone and I know the like-minded folks in Australia, Denmark, Italy, and most of the NATO nations as well as the, what I would call, newly freed states in the former Eastern European "block" don't want America to be alone. It's just how do we give the death-knell to "political correctness" (censorship) and stand up for our nations, our way of life, our children and grandchildren - and how do we do it now? And as I've said in other posts, I don't want to see Notre Dame become a mosque nor the gods and goddesses of Italy and Greece smashed to smithereens as were the Buddhists statues by the Taliban. So, will America be alone? I guess the citizens of the new "West" will decide that...

1. Re: Anyway to Open a DRM epub on a PC or Kindle? This is What I've Tried...Jim_Lester Apr 12, 2012 7:20 AM (in response to Sawyerrk)
Nope -- the file is DRM protected by Apple (not Adobe). Also specific conversations about how to remove DRM are not permitted on these forums.
2. Re: Anyway to Open a DRM epub on a PC or Kindle? This is What I've Tried...Frustrated in AZ Apr 12, 2012 8:09 AM (in response to Sawyerrk)
Just to add to Jim's comments....
Many, many people are lured into the assumption that an ebook is just an
electronic version of a paper book, and that they have the right to do
whatever they want with it because they bought it and it's their property.
Many people also assume that the digital world of ebooks is transparent and
works over all devices somehow (magic?). Neither is true. Intellectual
property protection is rooted in the Digital Millenium Copyright Act of
2000, and all mainstream ebook management programs adhere to the provisions
of the law. Those programs that advertise they can 'unlock' an ebook are
breaking that law - whether you or I like it or not. It's not OK to
unprotect someone else's intellectual property.
Apple's world is just that. They've defined how ebooks will be managed on
their devices. The lone exception is that Digital Editions has a version
that operates on the MAC under their form of interoperability with Windows
Amazon has chosen to go its own way also, and Kindles are interlocked with
their way. Some sites, such as Gutenberg, have inve$ted the time and
energy to figure out a way to be compatible. The mainstream - and Apple -
have not.
Other mainstream sources for ebooks and ereaders also have some quirks that
are unique to their interaction with their devices, such as SONY and B&N.
Finally the world of electronic devices has changed radically since the
early 2000's. We now have handheld devices that are capable of doing what
our laptops did only a few years ago. However, they are running a
completely different operating system from a PC or a MAC, and programs like
Digital Editions and Overdrive don't interface with them.
The end result is that you get burned if you assume a lot based on your
conception of how things should work. It's been that way as long as
technology has been available to individuals. The 'fine print' is
extremely important.
You're tied almost exclusively to Amazon as a source for epublications for
your Kindle. There are exceptions - the Fire interacts with applications
on the web - but that doesn't mean that ALL the applications will work with
the Kindle....
I don't think that anything either Jim or I have said will change your
mind. But it's here if you want to refer to it.....
3. Re: Anyway to Open a DRM epub on a PC or Kindle? This is What I've Tried...Sawyerrk Apr 12, 2012 10:41 AM (in response to Frustrated in AZ)
Sorry, didn't realize it was against forum rules to talk about possible ways to read the book that you just paid money for. Like I said above, I was given warnings about the book only being avialable to read on Apple devices (should have known better). It was the assurance of someone (with Apple devices) that told me I'd be ok since I had Adobe Reader (I tried ADE too). I understand it, but I don't have to like it <g>
4. Re: Anyway to Open a DRM epub on a PC or Kindle? This is What I've Tried...Frustrated in AZ Apr 12, 2012 12:31 PM (in response to Sawyerrk)
Monica, you can read the book you paid for - and you know how to do that.
You just can't talk about ways to do anything illegal with it.
5. Re: Anyway to Open a DRM epub on a PC or Kindle? This is What I've Tried...Frustrated in AZ Apr 12, 2012 12:38 PM (in response to Sawyerrk)
OOPS! I forgot to mention something you might not be considering, Monica.
Digital rights are established by the publisher or distributor or the
author. They aren't put there by Apple, Amazon, SONY, B&N or any other
source for downloading an ebook. If you use Digital Editions to access
your ebook on an Windows PC or on the MAC, and there are digital rights
assigned by the publisher or distributor, you'd have the same issues as you
would have with Apple iTunes, or any other program like Calibre, Overdrive,
Bluefire Reader, etc. As I said in my reply to you, there are a lot of
people like you that use the paper book analogy when they talk about what
they can do with an ebook, and that's just not the case. If you REALLY
want to press the issue, find out who published the ebook edition and go to
them with your concerns.
6. Re: Anyway to Open a DRM epub on a PC or Kindle? This is What I've Tried...Sawyerrk Apr 12, 2012 11:10 PM (in response to Frustrated in AZ)
Thanks guys.

Playboy Magazine's October edition features Chargerslinebacker Shawne Merriman as the subject of its "2Q."
Editors refer to Merriman as the "meanest SOB" who "is rebuilt, recharged and ready to hit anything that moves."
He references that in answers to Q3, Q4, Q5 and here in Q20: "I'm going after anyone in a different-colored helmet. Period. If you're wearing a different-colored helmet than me, you're in trouble."
Merriman talks about judging the Miss USA pageant, losing everything to fire twice in his life and the night he had to take the whole team out for dinner and racked up a $32,000 bill.
But what may be most telling is when he's asked "How dangerous is the rebuilt Shawne Merriman?" (a question obviously concerning Merriman the football player, not Merriman the boyfriend accused of choking his MTV reality show personality girlfriend after a night of partying.)
The NFL star answers "I'm so dangerous right now I scare myself."
You can read the full article in Playboy.

Trick Tip: Judo 180s
The Judo FS 180 is a really fun variation of a nosegrab 180 that can be done anywhere. Wake to wake, inside out, flats, down gaps, and up gaps; I can't think of a place where judo 180s aren't fun. As with most advanced tricks, this one has a few prerequisites. A good nosegrab 180 with a SOLID grab is very necessary on this one. We'll go for the wake to wake here…
Uno – Take your normal cut that you would for a wake to wake 180, but with more weight on your back foot.
Dos- As you ride up the wake, make sure to pop off the lip with a good deal of weight on your back foot so that you can pop the nose of the board up to your hand.
Tres- Take your front hand off the handle and get ready to catch the nose. Try to pop it up to your hand as much as you can instead of reaching down for it. This will help you keep your balance much better.
Cuatro- As you float up with the frontside 180, transfer the weight of your front foot to the nosegrab and get ready to let the sky taste your fury.
Cinco- This is the climax. (JUDO KICK!)
Seís y siete- Now that the moment of glory is over, your have to land it. With your hand still controlling the nose, pull it in to a stable position to finish the 180, putting your foot back on the skate as you start to come down.
Ocho , nueva a diéz- As with any wake to wake maneuver, you are going to try to land on the downward transition of the second wake. The last full second in the air is going to determine how stable your landing position is, which has to do with how smooth you are with wake to wake 180s. Low handle position is key.
Now go do some one-footers!

Flaming Lips Offer Up Bizarre Cover of the Beatles' 'I Am the Walrus'
Maybe the Flaming Lips decided to record a crazy, bass-heavy, guitar-free video for the Beatles psychedelic masterpiece 'I Am the Walrus' as a way to prepare for their upcoming New Year's Eve concerts with Yoko Ono's Plastic Ono Band in their hometown of Oklahoma City. More likely, they're weirding out in the clip because, well, that's what they do best.
Remember, this is the band that made their 1997 four-CD (meant to be played simultaneously) project 'Zaireeka' seem positively mainstream by recording the six-hour-long song, '6 Hour Song (Found a Star on the Ground)' and the 24-hour-long track, '7 Skies H3′ earlier this year. Not that it has anything to do with the wigged out cover of 'I Am the Walrus,' but '6 Hour Song' features John Lennon and Yoko Ono's son, Sean, reading the names of over 200 people who donated $100 to the project. Flaming Lips will release their final recording of the year, a 12-inch EP collaboration with Yoko Ono's Plastic Ono Band, at the New Year's shows.
Of course, the endless songs and upcoming EP weren't all the madness Flaming Lips indulged in during 2011 — not by a long shot. Here's a list of their bizarre offerings:
February: 'Two Blobs F—ing' — 12 YouTube clips meant to be played simultaneously
March: 'Flaming Lips 2011 EP' — A multicolor vinyl-only collaboration with electronic artist Neon Indian
April: 'Gummy Song Skull' EP — A flash drive featuring four songs hidden inside the gummy brain that's inside a gummy skull
May: 'The Flaming Lips with Prefuse 73′ EP — A multicolor vinyl-only collaboration with electronic artist Prefuse 73
June: 'The Soft Bulletin: Live la Fantastique de Institution 2011′ — a live in-the-studio recording of 1999′s 'The Soft Bulletin' contained on a flashdrive inside the marijuana-flavored gummy brain of a strawberry-flavored gummy skull and the 'Gummy Song Fetus' EP, featuring three songs on a flashdrive inside a bubblegum gummy fetus
July: 'The Flaming Lips with Lightning Bolt' EP — a multicolor vinyl-only collaboration with rock band Lightning Bolt

PaulSecor needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 98 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Freelance Catapult
FreelanceCatapult.com will be a website where aspiring freelance start-ups, as well as existing freelancers can come for information on how to launch or expand their business. The website will feature videos, podcasts, downloadable guides, calculators, etc.
We are considering using the branding statement "Launch your new or existing Freelance business to new heights." Hence, we want the logo to reflect the concept of – launching, moving upward, moving ahead, etc
The audience segments from largest to smallest are:
(1) People who have a fulltime career, but want to earn additional income by starting a new part-time freelancing business
(2) People want to start a full-time freelancing career
(3) People who already have an established freelance business (either full or part-time) and want to grow and expand.
We want an exciting logo that expresses "rapid growth", "reaching new heights", etc. We are open to including an actual catapult somehow in the logo, but it is not required. Anything exciting is open for consideration, as long as the logo looks professional.
The logo can be just the name with the branded look mentioned above. Or, it could be the name, plus a graphic image. If possible, we want to use the entire name with the .com at the end.
Since the name is long, we are open to separating "Freelance" and "Catapult" with a space. Or, using different colors for the words. Or using a slightly different style … ie bold vs. unbold.
We are especially interested in logos that have dual meaning, but not necessarily literal meaning. See http://www.fuelyourcreativity.com/3…-them-all/ for inspirational examples.
Attached are some rough concepts we have been working on thus far. We would like to see people refine these. However, we are also 100% OPEN to new and different concepts as well.
The winning designer will need to submit color and b&w high res png, jpg, and psd file with layers. In addition, we need a second version re-cut (possibly with Freelance on first line and Catapult on a second line) that will fit more in a square format such as a facebook fan page logo.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

(CNN) -- Even before Manchester United and Chelsea kicked off at Old Trafford on Monday, there was ample intrigue.
With Chelsea making no secret about its interest in United striker Wayne Rooney, would the Englishman start?
Rooney, who United repeatedly insist isn't for sale despite the 27-year-old putting in a transfer request at the end of last season, did make the starting 11 and played the full 90 minutes.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, meanwhile, didn't start a recognized striker, leaving $78 million man Fernando Torres on the bench.
He again omitted Chelsea's player of last season, creative midfielder Juan Mata.
In the end, both teams maintained their unbeaten start to the young season thanks to a mostly dour 0-0 draw.
In David Moyes' first home game in charge since replacing Alex Ferguson, the scoreless tie was the first in the league at Old Trafford in four years.
Read: Moyes named Ferguson's successor
The pre-game hype thus made for more fun than the game itself and the post-game comments from both managers provided yet more entertainment.
With reports of a club other than Real Madrid making a late bid for Tottenham winger Gareth Bale, a smiling Moyes didn't deny United was the team in question.
"Manchester United will always be interested in the best players," Moyes told Sky Sports. "We're always looking to try to improve the team and the owners have given me every opportunity to bring in whoever I want."
Mourinho didn't rule out Chelsea making a third bid for Rooney, although he acknowledged the support the England international received from the crowd would make it difficult for him to leave.
Rooney's shift was full of commitment, particularly evidenced when he tracked back late to dispossess Ramires. He was arguably United's best player.
"(United fans) supported him all the way so I think this is a real special club with special fans and I think probably now he decides he wants to stay," Mourinho told Sky.
Chelsea went top of the standings with seven points through three games, having contested a game more than its rivals when the fixture against Aston Villa was moved up due to the Blues' upcoming Super Cup clash against Bayern Munich.
United, Chelsea and Manchester City are thought to be the title contenders this season and City was the first team to flinch when it lost 3-2 at newly promoted Cardiff on Sunday.
Read: Cardiff comeback stuns City
"I told the players before the game we want to win, we will play to win but if you don't win, you don't lose," said Mourinho. "I think the players understood this completely."
The first half Monday never took off. If ever a game needed a goal, as the saying goes, this was it.
United striker Robin Van Persie struck the side netting and somehow teammate Antonio Valencia escaped a yellow card from Martin Atkinson when he hacked down Oscar.
As the half drew to a close, Rooney almost slipped in van Persie but his pass was too heavy.
United began the second half with more urgency and Danny Welbeck -- who scored two goals in United's league opener last week versus Swansea -- should have done better when Rooney found him inside the box.
Chelsea's no-striker formation failed to match the potency of the Spanish national team and Torres entered in the 60th minute.
United wanted a penalty when it felt Tom Cleverley's shot struck Frank Lampard in the arm but Atkinson didn't budge.
"I think that's two in a week that Chelsea has had ... which have been good shouts," Moyes said, referring to an incident in the Villa game last week.
Rooney's rising shot in the 77th minute forced Petr Cech into a diving save and from the ensuing corner, Welbeck mistimed his header.
Chelsea was by this time happy with a point, further shown when Mourinho replaced Kevin de Bruyne with not Mata but defensive midfielder John Obi Mikel.
Three points for Madrid
In Spain, Real Madrid made it two wins from two league games to match Barcelona after beating Granada 1-0 away.
Karim Benzema, the French striker linked with Arsenal, accounted for the scoring with a 10th-minute goal.
Real Madrid could have added to its lead, but Isco hit the post and Cristiano Ronaldo was denied by keeper Roberto.

Improvements promised for pedestrians at San Ysidro border crossing
Written by
Sandra Dibble
9:13 a.m., Nov. 4, 2012
TIJUANA — For tens of thousands of pedestrians going through the San Ysidro border crossing each day, the experience can be daunting.
Morning waits to enter the United States can last more than two hours — and twice that time during peak weekend periods. Travelers entering Mexico are greeted by a maze of stairs and ramps with hairpin turns. To reach public transportation, they typically have to squeeze past a snaking line of northbound pedestrians, then cross by bridge to the other side of Tijuana's northbound vehicle lanes.
Last week's formal opening of the 22-lane El Chaparral port of entry in Mexico included promises of faster and smoother crossings for the approximately 32,000 vehicles that head into Mexico each day through San Ysidro. But gains have yet to emerge for the roughly 50,000 daily pedestrians who travel north or south at the world's busiest land border crossing.
"Past two hours, I kind of go crazy," said Yvonne Esqueda, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen listening to music on her iPod while waiting to cross into San Diego County at 9 a.m. Thursday. "It's tiring but I don't have a choice," said Esqueda, a Tijuana resident who studies in Chula Vista and works at Plaza Las Americas in San Ysidro.
The massive, binational reconfiguration of the San Ysidro port envisions improvements for pedestrians: more crossing lanes, new high-tech processing facilities in Mexico and the United States, and connections to public transportation hubs on both sides of the border. But so far, drivers are the ones who have seen the most dramatic changes.
"We've been so excited about having a speedier crossing vehicle-wise that we've forgotten about how important the pedestrians are," said San Diego Councilman David Alvarez.
Roughly one-fifth of the 25,000 daily northbound crossers remain in San Ysidro to work, shop, visit family or engage in other activities, said Jason Wells, executive director of the San Ysidro Chamber of Commerce and director of the San Ysidro Smart Border Coalition. Many more board the San Diego trolley or take other public transportation to work, schools, stores, banks, medical appointments and family gatherings across the county.
"The pedestrians are a regional issue. It's not just a San Ysidro issue," Wells said. "Those hotels in downtown San Diego, their workers are coming through this crossing."
The northbound line on Thursday morning was about 1,200 people long, translating to a roughly two-hour wait. The pedestrians included a 21-year old U.S. citizen living in Tijuana and heading to work at the McDonald's in San Ysidro, a 73-year-old Tijuana woman picking up a check in San Diego, a 59-year-old Tijuana homemaker preparing to shop in Chula Vista, a 63-year-old San Ysidro resident returning from a visit with her boyfriend, a Caltrans worker coming back home after visiting his ailing uncle in Tijuana and Ali Wittenburg, a 23-year-old former resident of La Mesa who moved to Tijuana after losing her job with a property management company.
"I don't know how I put up with it. I just do because I'm trying to survive," Wittenburg said.
Expanding pedestrian facilities is part of the U.S. government's $583 million renovation of the San Ysidro port, but Congress has yet to pay for those facilities. These improvements, part of the overall project's third phase, include increasing processing capacity from the current 14 lanes to as many as 40 — including up to 30 at a new facility on the east side.
Also planned for the third phase is a second pedestrian entrance with about 10 lanes on the west side.
San Ysidro's pedestrian commuters, who have endured growing wait times during the past two years, said the changes can't come soon enough. Yet the waits have not dissuaded them from crossing: Overall northbound pedestrian traffic at U.S. ports of entry along the California border has increased significantly — from 14 million in fiscal year 2009 to 17.9 million in fiscal year 2012, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Pete Flores, the agency's director of field operations in San Diego, attributed the longer waits to a variety of reasons: "More travelers, more requirements, querying people more on primary, security at the border."
To bring some short-term relief for northbound pedestrians at San Ysidro, the agency is preparing to install a pedestrian "Ready Lane" for those who have designated documents with radio frequency identification technology, including U.S. passport cards, enhanced U.S. driver's licenses, the new U.S. permanent resident "green card" and the new border-crossing card for Mexicans.
For southbound pedestrians, the Baja California government is building a permanent entrance scheduled to open in March; it would replace the one opened provisionally in September to accommodate a newly constructed U.S. pedestrian entry to Mexico, said Sergio Montes, undersecretary of the agency SIDUE, which oversees the state's infrastructure planning. Built on the east side of the San Ysidro port, the permanent facility would eventually allow pedestrians to board taxis and connect to a future rapid-transit bus system, Montes said.
Meanwhile, business groups and planners with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) have been pushing for the immediate construction of a western pedestrian processing facility at Virginia Avenue in San Ysidro that would connect to El Chaparral. It would replace the long-used southbound pedestrian crossing that closed in September when Mexico built an access road to El Chaparral.
Luis Torres, the Mexican federal government's customs director for Tijuana, said he is prepared to begin receiving pedestrians immediately at El Chaparral. But officials with the U.S. General Services Administration, or GSA, said a northbound processing center at that site can't be completed until April 2015.
SANDAG director Gary Gallegos proposes opening a new temporary processing facility there — at least for southbound crossers. "If Mexicans are indeed ready to accept pedestrians southbound at El Chaparral, maybe (the provisional U.S. facility) could be done in weeks or a month or two," he said.
Ultimately, the current pedestrian situation "is unacceptable," said Anthony Kleppe, a senior assets manager for the GSA, who addressed the issue last month during a presentation to the SANDAG Borders Committee. "What people need to know is that we have a solution."

Super Lig Wrap: Gala close gap as Fener slip up
Fenerbahce's lead at the top of the Turkish Super Lig was cut to four points as they were beaten 2-0 at Sivasspor on Sunday.
Second-half goals from Aydin Karabulut and Burhan Eser.condemned Fenerbahce to a second sucessive defeat and Ersun Yanal's men have been beaten three times in their last five games.
The visitors were reduced to 10 men after 22 minutes when defender Egemen Korkmaz was dismissed, and fourth-placed Sivasspor capitalised in the second period with strikes from midfielders Karabulut and Eser.
Fenerbahce's fierce rivals Galatasaray closed the gap at the summit on Saturday, easing to a comfortable 3-0 home win against Eskisehirspor.
First-half efforts from striker Burak Yilmaz and defender Aurelien Chedjou put Roberto Mancini's side in command, before Umut Bulut put the gloss on a fine performance with an injury-time strike.
Third-placed Beskitas remain in the hunt for a place in the UEFA Champions League after goals from midfielder Olcay Sahan and attacker Omer Sismanoglu ensured a 2-1 success at Gaziantepspor on Friday.
Karabukspor stay two points behind fourth-placed Sivasspor in the battle for a UEFA Europa League spot by virtue of Monday's 2-1 away win against Genclerbirligi.
Mehmet Akyuz stole the show as Akhisar Belediyespor won a 4-2 thriller at Trabzonspor.
The 28-year-old forward scored a second-half hat-trick after Ugur Demirok's 16th minute opener had been cancelled out by Olcan Adin, who netted a consolation for the hosts in the second minute of time added on.
Serdar Ozkan and Deniz Yilmaz each scored penalties as Elazigspor moved out of the bottom three with a 3-0 triumph over 10-man bottom club Kayserispor, while Rizespor dropped into the relegation zone after a 1-1 draw with fellow-strugglers Kayseri Erciyesspor.
Elsewhere, a Theofanis Gekas double inspired Konyaspor to a 3-1 victory at Kasimpasa, and Bursapsor drew 1-1 with Antalyaspor.

Last year I discovered the joys of sugar scrubs. They are a great exfoliant, leaving your skin soft, moisturized and bright. They make a great shaving "cream" or overall body scrub. Talk about dessert for the skin! Hand me a spoon! They are almost too easy to make, and they make fantastic gifts. My favorite to date is Chai Spice. It is as simple as opening a Chai Spice tea bag, mixing it with the sugar, adding 10 drops of cinnamon essential oil to a base oil, and stirring!
Basic recipe:
2 parts sugar, 1 part oil.
Choose your sugars.
- Regular white sugar gives a soft, gentle exfoliation. (My favorite texture, although I don't bake with it since it is likely GMO)
- Brown sugar gives a deeper exfoliation.
- White cane sugar gives a firmer, deeper exfoliation.
- True demerara sugar (as opposed to demerara style) provides the deepest, firmest exfoliation.
Choose your oils.
Most liquid cooking oils will work fine. I have used olive oil, sweet almond oil and grape seed oil. Smell it first. Make sure it isn't rancid.
Choose your additives… or not.
- Ground candy canes (run it through the blender to get small bits)
- Ground coffee beans
- Ground cinnamon
- Almond or Vanilla Extract
- Essential oils (Ex. Cinnamon)
- Loose leaf teas (think, Chai Spice with cinnamon!)
Mix your ingredients.
In a bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine liquid ingredients. Add wet to dry and stir well. Spoon into jars and decorate jars to your liking! Enjoy!
Mountain Rose Herbs has exceptional quality, certified organic herbs, spices,oils, essential oils and more. They maintain a strict emphasis on sustainable agriculture. I highly recommend them for outstanding quality and service.

Local native with Hollywood blockbusters on resumé says hard work got him there
Andre B. Laird. - Wednesday, November 14, 2012 10:45 AM
Originally published Oct. 18, 2012.
Ask Shannon Mills how he arrived at working at the Mecca of the movie sound industry and he will tell you simply, "hard work."
The Huntington native has a list of Hollywood blockbusters on his resume that reads like the nominee list for Oscar night.
"I was always interested in music and played in the band when I was in high school," states Mills. "I was attracted to sound in the movies."
The 1990 Huntington North grad followed his dream and attended the Colorado Institute of Art to pursue a degree in music recording.
After graduation in 1994, Mills says he worked for a small media house in Denver, CO, working on sound projects for commercials and a few independent films.
Mills says he got his first big break soon after.
"I had a friend who moved to San Francisco to work at the Music Annex," he says. "Shortly afterwards, I was offered a job and I worked there for about a year, doing sound on commercials."
From there, Mills eventually moved up to the "big leagues," when he was hired on at Skywalker Sound, a production company owned by filmmaker George Lucas.
"I started working at Skywalker Sound in 1996 in the sound library," Mills states. "I began the process of working my way up the ladder by putting in a lot of hours."
His first blockbuster credit was "Titanic" directed by James Cameron and Mills says he, along with the other sound engineers, stayed at Cameron's house for a year while working on the film.
Other movies to his credit include, "Con Air," "Beverly Hills Ninja," "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," "Saving Private Ryan," "Toy Story," "Toy Story 2," "Monsters, Inc.," "Minority Report," "Finding Nemo," "Hellboy," "The Hunted," "Iron Man," "Avatar," "Rango," "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," "Captain America: The First Avenger," "Race to Witch Mountain," "The Simpsons Movie," "The Amazing Spider-Man" and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy.
"When the sound crew views the film, we usually have little to no sound at all," he states. "In fact, sometimes we can't even hear the dialogue because of all the noise in the background of the set. The actors re-record their voices in post-production."
Mills says one of the most creative aspects of his job is trying to figure out how to create sounds that do not exist in real life.
"For a movie like 'Avatar,' we had to imagine what the creatures would sound like, then go out and create the effects to match that," he states. "That's one of the most fun parts of the job, identifying what sounds we have and what we need and going out to find or create them."
His role on the films spans the sound industry spectrum, from supervising sound editor and sound designer to FX editor and dialogue editor.
"My role usually depended on where I was during my career and at what time I joined the film in post-production," Mills adds.
The length of time he works on a film varies also, anywhere from two months to a year as in the case of "Titanic."
For "The Amazing Spider-Man," Mills and his team focused primarily on three sound effects for the movie, Spider-Man's web shooter, his 'Spidey sense' and lizard vocals for the main villain, Dr. Conner.
His upcoming projects include "47 Ronin," and "The Lone Ranger," starring Johnny Depp, which is slated to be released next summer.
As impressive as his career has been, Mills says that behind the scenes there were a lot of long hours and hard work.
"For anyone interested in going into this field, I'd say go for it," he states. "But I would also tell them to prepare themselves for the long haul, because this is a hard field to break into because there are so many people who want to do it."
Mills adds that it does start with going to college.
"I'd definitely say go to college because that's where you'll meet people in the industry or even make connections with classmates who may one day be in a position to help you in your career," he says. "Above all, you just need to have the will to do it."
More information on Mills and his accomplishments can be found on his online IMDb profile under "Shannon Mills."

Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing was hotly anticipated when it was released 25 years ago.
The film about racial tension reaches a boiling point on a scorching summer day in Brooklyn. All the action takes place on one block in Bedford-Stuyvesant, one of the poorest neighborhoods in New York City; a block where African-Americans and Puerto Ricans live, Koreans and Italians work and the New York Police Department plays dirty.
Do the Right Thing would go on to be nominated for an Oscar for best original screenplay, where it ultimately lost out to Dead Poets Society. (The Academy Award for best picture that year went to Driving Miss Daisy, a film with vastly more timid portrayals of racial distrust and tension.)
The Academy Hosts A Silver Anniversary Screening
As if to make up for the oversight, the Academy Film Archive premiered a new 35 mm print of the film that was screened last Friday.
The movie opens with Rosie Perez dancing and shadow boxing to "Fight the Power" in what some have called the greatest opening credit sequence in film history. The audience at the event hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was immediately transported to 1989 and its gold door-knocker earrings, biker shorts and boom boxes.
The way the movie explored racial tension and police brutality resonated across the country.
"I lived in South Central [Los Angeles] and it was like, 'Wow, that happens over there, like cops do that over there, too?' " says Jesse Bingham, who was standing in line with his wife, Shaunte, hoping to get into the sold-out screening. Both were too young to see it in a theater when it was first released, but they did see it on video as kids.
Racial tension is in your face in Do the Right Thing — no subtleties, no need to read between the lines. There's even a montage with several characters spewing racial slurs into the camera. Right at you. Whoever you are.
But don't think it's some bash-you-over-the-head-with-the-injustices-of-the-world kind of movie. It's hilarious. (Unfortunately for us, the funniest moments are replete with unprintable language.)
The Risk Of Making 'Do the Right Thing'
"I doubt that Do the Right Thing would be made by any studio today," says Tom Pollock, who ran Universal Pictures in the late 1980s and gave the movie a green light. In a discussion before the screening, Pollock tells the packed theater that studios today aren't as willing to produce original screenplays. Too risky. Director Spike Lee (who also plays the role of Mookie) says "risky" was an understatement when it comes to this film.
"It started at the world premiere in Cannes where there was a segment of the press who did not want this film to come out, who were writing reviews, saying this film was going to cause black people to run amok," Lee says.
Pollock adds there was concern that the film was going to cause race riots. "So what did we do," he says. "We moved the release date up to take advantage of all that controversy!"
The Obamas made a brief videotaped appearance at the event where they talked to the audience and Lee about going to see Do the Right Thing on their first date. "Today I've got a few more gray hairs than I did back in 1989," the president says. "You don't look like Mookie anymore, but Do the Right Thing still holds up a mirror to our society and it makes us laugh and think and challenges all of us to see ourselves in one another."
As Mister Señor Love Daddy, one of the film's characters, says, "That's the truth, Ruth."
It was 25 years ago on this date that Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing" was released. The film about racial tension reaching a boiling point on a scorching summer day in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bed-Stuy was hot, so hot it sparked a national conversation about race. NPR's Shereen Marisol Meraji attended an anniversary screening here in Los Angeles with the director, producers and original cast members.
SHEREEN MARISOL MERAJI, BYLINE: This is "Do The Right Thing's" silver anniversary, but in Bed-Stuy in 1989 it was all about gold doorknocker earrings, boker short and boomboxes.
PUBLIC ENEMY: (Singing) 1989, that number, another summer, sound of a funky drummer.
MERAJI: The film takes place on the hottest day of summer, on one block, in one of poorest neighborhoods in New York City. A block where African-Americans and Puerto Ricans live, Koreans and Italians work and the NYPD play dirty. And the way the movie explored racial tension and police brutality resignation across the country.
JESSIE BINGHAM: I lived in South Central and it was like, wow, that happens over there? Like cops do that over there too? And it kind of created the conversation, it brought up the conversation.
MERAJI: It's date night for Jessie Bingham and his wife Shaunte. The married couple are standing in line, hoping to get in to this sold-out screening of "Do The Right Thing." Both were too young to see it in the theater but they saw it on video as kids. Same with Lucy Castro also from south-central LA and her friend, Autrey Triplett, a Chicago native.
AUTREY TRIPLETT: We were just talking about like the liquor store on every corner and the demonstrations in the streets and even back down to how you got the fire hydrants being opened up in the middle of the summers just to cool the kids off.
LUCY CASTRO: That's not South Central though. No that's not South Central, but we did have a right.
MERAJI: Racial tension is in your face in "Do The Right Thing." No need to read between the lines. There's even a montage with various characters yelling racial slurs into the camera right at you, whoever you are.
SPIKE LEE: (as Mookie) Dago, wop, garlic breath, pizza slinger, spaghetti bending...
JOHN TURTURRO: (as Pino) High Jumping, spear chucking, 360 degree basketball Dunking...
LUIS RAMOS: (as Stevie) Slanty eyed, me no speaky American, own every fruit and vegetable stand in New York.
RICK AIELLO: (As Officer Gary Long) Goya bean eating, fifteen in a car, 30 in an apartment. Yeah you.
MERAJI: But if you haven't seen it, don't think it's some bash you over the head with the injustices of the world kind of movie, it's not, it's hilarious. Too bad the funniest moments are not appropriate for a morning show on public radio.
TOM POLLOCK: I doubt that "Do The Right Thing." would be made by any studio today.
MERAJI: Tom Pollock ran Universal Pictures in the late '80s and green-lit the movie. He tells the packed theater in a conversation before the screening, that studios today aren't as willing to produce original screenplays, too risky. And director Spike Lee who's also the protagonist, Mookie, says risky is an understatement when it comes to this film.
LEE: It started at the world premiere in Cannes where there was a segment of the press who did not want this film to come out, who writing reviews saying this film was going to cause black people to run amok.
POLLOCK: That this movie would cause race riots, whatever that is, so of course would did we do, we moved the release date up so we can take advantage of all that controversy.
MERAJI: After the conversation, it's time to watch "Do The Right Thing" on a big screen, 25 years after it was released in theaters. But before we could all revel in Rosie Perez dancing and shadowboxing to "Fight The Power" during what have some have called the greatest opening credits in film history, Michelle and Barack Obama make an on-screen appearance and reminisce about going to see "Do The Right Thing" on their first date.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Today I got a few more gray hairs than I did back in 1989, you don't look like Mookie anymore but "Do The Right Thing" still holds up a mirror to our society and it makes us laugh and think and challenges all of us to see ourselves and one another.
MERAJI: And that's the truth, Ruth. Shereen Marisol Meraji, NPR News.

Crews with trucks and bulldozers are laying pipe and asphalt along Main Street of this Gulf Coast town, as customers at the Mockingbird Cafe, seemingly oblivious to the din, sip cappuccinos. Traffic now clogs inland Route 90 on most mornings, and the local building inspector has recently complained of being "swamped" with work.
Well into the third year since hurricane Katrina leveled nearly all the shoreline mansions and tore beachfront shops to pieces, Bay St. Louis is, for all intents and purposes, a boom town, along with much of surrounding Hancock County.
"The country is [about] in recession, but we're not seeing anything like that here – quite the opposite," says Jeffrey Reed, city council president.
Stoking this boom – and similar ones in Mississippi's two other Katrina-walloped counties – is $38 billion in federal aid and private insurance money that has been spread across this coast like a salve. It's a lot of money – as much as $100,000 for every resident in the three counties – intended to help this long, thin sliver of warm sand and live oaks recover from one of the worst natural disasters in American history.
As much as Americans are willing to invest taxpayer dollars to make Katrina country whole, many also want assurances that what rises from the cataclysm is sensible – communities rebuilt to take another direct hit from a Category 3 storm without devastating loss of life or property. Most observers agree that what's going up now is much improved over what was on the ground the August morning the hurricane rushed ashore with its 120-mile-per-hour winds and 27-foot-high storm surge. Many Gulf communities have adopted better building codes, including strapping all new houses to the ground by their studs. Some have pledged to funnel new construction to higher ground, resisting the temptation to let businesses and homes sprawl in low-lying areas where the surge caused the most destruction.
But time is of the essence, as new and returning residents have urgent need of places to live and work, and expediency is not always the friend of prudence. Some who are watching the rebuilding boom say the Mississippi coast will not be safe enough because officials are not forcing development to withdraw from places slammed by Katrina and many home-owners are rebuilding in low-lying areas rather than accepting federal government buyouts. Plans for gigantic new steel-and-concrete storm barriers at key spots along the coast do not allay their concerns.
"The most accurate answer is that we're only partly building back the right way," says Jeff Bounds, an MIT-trained planning consultant to the cities of Gulfport and Pass Christian. "The culture of the South is very big on independence and not liking handouts ... but my view is that if federal taxpayers knew in detail a lot of what was going on, they'd be very, very unhappy."
Of course, what constitutes "safe" rebuilding is a matter of much debate, especially as the extra costs associated with some of the precautions begin to mount, along with the risk that poorer families will be driven out altogether. Often, engineers have one view and local politicians another. Or hydrologists see a pressing need but the business community sees another. The result is a push and pull, a stretch and twist of the new rules.
•Bay St. Louis is appealing to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to reconsider how high off the ground new buildings must be to qualify for federal flood insurance. In certain low-lying places, buildings need to sit on stilts 18 feet high, FEMA has ruled. The town counters that the requirement puts the structures at risk of wind damage and wants a lower requirement.
Some say the town's action is rooted more in nostalgia than in science. "People [are] upset because the elevations mean the town wouldn't look the same, and it was a beautiful town, Bay St. Louis," says Steve Champlin, Mississippi's flood-mapping coordinator, in Jackson.
•The nation's first regional buyout program for storm-struck properties did not include North Central Pass, a poor neighborhood in Pass Christian situated in a low bowl in the sand. Those residents would have been likely to take the buyouts – perhaps the only way they could afford to move to higher ground, say critics. So far, only tiny Pecan, Miss., with a total of 18 properties, most owned by one family, has taken up the government's offer.
The US Army Corps of Engineers denies charges that the program is aimed at wealthier people. "The [buyout] is not a welfare program for the rich," says Susan Rees, director of the Corps' Mississippi Coastal Improvement Program. "We're trying to assist the people ... who really don't have the wherewithal to just pick up and move somewhere else."
•Proposals to use federal Community Development Block Grants to build two new yacht marinas near Bay St. Louis and Waveland, Miss., are popular, but critics say they would put million-dollar boats and new development right on an unprotected shoreline.
•In April, Bay St. Louis heard a request to allow people building in the area to hire so-called third-party inspectors. Advocates say the policy change would alleviate a shortage of building inspectors and give "more personalized" service. Critics say it's not clear whether the freelance inspectors would represent the interests of the public or the homeowners who hire them.
•Differences in the topographical flood maps published two months after Katrina and the revised maps FEMA released in November have raised concerns that mapmakers were subjected to pressure by wealthy stakeholders along the coast. The result "appears to be some maps being redrawn by hand" perhaps to appease specific landowners, says Mr. Bounds. State officials say the changes are a result of complex surge-prediction algorithms that factor in more than raw elevation. "It's pure science," says Mr. Champlin, the state mapmaker.
Yet building inconsistencies are apparent during a drive along the coast. On streets that Katrina demolished in equal measure, new buildings are on stilts from four to 18 feet tall – sometimes higher. To rebuild a home in the lowest areas of Pass Christian, the first-floor joists must be 26 feet off the ground.
"One guy is building 12 feet in the air because he's freaked out. The next guy is building at eight feet because that's the new flood regs," says Bounds. "The next guy is building at four feet because he's grandfathered in [to the pre-Katrina code requirements], and the next guy is building right on the beach because he knew somebody at city hall and was able to get away with it."
State officials say Mississippi has done a good job overall of balancing needs of people and businesses with mandates for stronger building materials and height requirements for homes in flood zones.
"A comprehensive recovery program has to include the whole package: direct assistance, help to build more homes, partnering with people who can build on a large scale, and economic ... development," says Lee Youngblood, spokesman for the Mississippi Development Authority, the purse-string holder for federal recovery grants. "We're trying to make sure we're good stewards of the money we're giving, trying to make sure we get as many of our recovery needs met ... not just in terms of housing but long-term infrastructure and things we're going to need to sustain jobs."
There's a reason economic concerns compete with safety. The recovery has been tenuous, "much, much slower than we all thought it would be," says Bay St. Louis historian Charles Gray. Thousands of Gulf Coast residents have permanently relocated. Condo construction has leveled off as part of the national housing slowdown, and communities like Bay St. Louis are desperate for tax and fee revenues to repay storm-related loans.
In short, the boom is a fragile one, susceptible to the vagaries of government decisionmakers and the whims of developers. The coming hurricane season, too, could affect how quickly people press ahead with rebuilding.
"All we can do is put one foot in front of another," says John Harral, a business lawyer in Gulfport. "It is every day a struggle with what is it going to look like, what can we do, how restrictive can the laws and regs be, and how restrictive should they be?"
Those who question officials' priorities cite a climate of secrecy in state agencies that makes it difficult, they say, to get copies of revised flood-zone maps or accurate information about how large new roads and bridges will be leading to the coast. As a result, activists see certain state decisions, such as one to use $600 million in federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants to retrofit the port at Gulfport instead of to build safe and affordable housing, as proof that business interests have the ear of the governor and the legislature and that safety is being played down.
"We're not showing the sense of collaboration you'd like to see between nonprofits and industry and different branches of government," says Marianne Hill, chief economist at the state College Board in Jackson, Miss. "It's difficult to forge a new institutional framework."
A problem for the Gulf Coast's recovery is the absence of a federal rebuilding czar to oversee the spending of tax dollars, say critics. Key US agencies working hardest on Gulf recovery – the Army Corps, FEMA, and HUD – are often at cross-purposes, they note. HUD promotes housing and industry, while the Army Corps and FEMA are trying to get the state and municipalities to carefully channel redevelopment. The US Senate last week signaled a greater willingness in Washington to rein in the national flood insurance program, voting 92 to 6 to limit coverage of businesses and second homes that flood repeatedly and to let FEMA raise insurance rates by as much as 15 percent a year.
For many trying to hold onto their spit of Mississippi sand, government efforts seem disjointed and careless. The government is "throwing money left and right, but very little is directly helping people," says Leo Poole, a retiree who's struggled to keep his Bay St. Louis house.
On the other hand, some economists say the recovery has been managed with too heavy a hand. Instead of the government spending millions of dollars on trailers, they say, a large direct-aid check to storm victims would have precipitated a natural disbursement of people and property, and would have allowed those in risky areas to more easily make a decision to move elsewhere. Instead, 8,000 Mississippi families still live in FEMA trailers in neighborhoods that Katrina destroyed.
"I understand why people think there's a conspiracy, because it's almost as if policy is aligned against the poorest, hardest-hit communities," says Emily Chamlee-Wright, an economist at Beloit College in Wisconsin, who has studied the Gulf rebuilding process. "A lot of times the attempt to protect people becomes the wrong policy. The heavier hand you have in the planning process and the more overreaching it is, the more trouble there's going to be down the line."
The irony is that the slow pace of rebuilding – everyone's top complaint – may be the greatest ally to a safer coast, forcing meticulous consideration of even mundane plans and projects, and plenty of time for everyone to talk the issues out at places like the Mockingbird Cafe in Bay St. Louis. Government officials such as Mr. Youngblood note that the lag time in the recovery is due in large part to the strict rebuilding rules, whether it's federal fill permits or expensive storm-certification requirements for new home construction, all of which in the long run will ensure a more storm-proof coast.
As seen in the little boom town of Bay St. Louis, shovels are now hitting the dirt in earnest – making this spring a crucial window for determining how well the coast, and US taxpayers, will weather any future big storm.
Tellingly, says Mr. Harral, the Gulfport business lawyer, vital water and sewer pipes have been delivered to municipalities but are just now being installed under roads like Beach Boulevard in Bay St. Louis.
"Nearing the third anniversary of the storm, that is a ... good illustration [of the recovery as a whole]: that it's all still on the ground, lying where it's going to be, but it hasn't been put in the ground yet," says Harral.

- From celebrating women in computing to changing the system | fdiv.net: "To sum up — I heard a range of experiences, good and bad. I heard a lot of factors that played into those experiences, and not just gender — parenthood, class, race, age, culture, personality. I heard an impressive array of coping strategies and survival tactics for adapting to the system that makes it harder for some people than others to be in computing. Coping strategies and survival tactics can be useful. But if that's all we talk about, then we're accepting the system. We're reinforcing the system. What about changing the system?"

Then again, "research suggests" that "it is not a good idea to cry at work." Women shouldn't be afraid to advocate for flexible work hours to handle family commitments. Except that "employees who make use of flexible work policies are often penalized." Women "need to shift from thinking 'I'm not ready to do that,' to thinking 'I want to do that, and I'll learn by doing it.' " But then again, men are promoted based on their potential while women are promoted based on their past accomplishments. Except that "a woman who explains why she is qualified or mentions previous successes in a job interview can lower her chances of getting hired."

H.I.T (Hedgehog Integrated Technologies)
I am twenty-five years old. I began working in healthcare services six years ago with my company A1 Medical Imaging. We have 28 MRI locations nationwide. Throughout the years I noticed that most healthcare services rely heavily on marketing to get them buisness. These marketers are on the pavement hitting up to 35 doctors offices a day. I came to the conclusion that I needed to make a phone app which takes the marketing managers out of the equation and allows for the corporate office to act as an effective manager. After one and half years of development the product is ready for internal use and it is almost ready for public release. I have a pantent pending on the product and I see it being the way of the future for companies with multiple marketers.
Once the logo is created it will be put on buisness cards, websites, marketing materials and most importantly on each screen of the app. I want this logo to appeal to buisness owners that would be interested in buying my product. Most of them will be in the healthcare industry and the majority of them are 35+.
I want the logo to be have a hedgehog in the design. I want it to look professional, not like sonic. I want it to be hedgehog full hedgehog with the body and all. I want the color scheme to be eye catching but not overly animated in appearance. I want the hedgehog to look serious. I am not an artistic person, that's why I'm here. Be creative. I really like the Merill Lynch bull. You can see it on their website http://www.ml.com/index.asp?id=7695_15125. Let me know what specific questions you have, I check my email every five minutes so my response will be very quick. Take a look at the attached. It's very basic but I want about the same idea.

Treestand Attention
Well, Goraidh's post about the sap flowing got my attention. These days most of my bowhunting around home is done from ladder stands. The older I get more I like ladder stands. They are pretty cheap when you pick them up after the hunting season, most are just right for the height I like to hunt and I can leave them up all year. Other than being kind of a pain to move from location to location when needed (although now I use my Cub most of the time and drag it behind me if I need to move it far) they take less effort to put up than a hanging stand. Anyway, since I leave them up all year, I make it a habit to go out early in the spring and loosen the straps or chains that secure them to the trees. Once the sap starts flowing the trees start growing and if I don't loosen the straps the trees will grow enough in that I won't be able to get the straps loose in the fall and the tree will start to grow around the straps. Today was a nice day so after Church I took the Cub for a walk through the woods and tended to my treestands. Great way to spend a hour or two in the spring like weather we've had the last few days.

Re: Treestand Attention
Real good tip Rick, I do about the same thing using pole ladders and removing the stands. I have a couple ladder stands that I practice out of but never used for hunting yet. Gray Cub has problems with hights so they play a part as he gets older I'm sure.
Thanks !

Gauchos Sweep Weekly Honors
Leading UC Santa Barbara to a sweep over the UNLV Rebels, Gauchos Jeff Sudbury and Erin Yamamoto earned Big West Swimming & Diving Athlete of the Week accolades, for the week ending Jan. 28. This is the first honor of the season for both athletes.
Sudbury won the 100 breaststroke with a a time of 57.13 and placed second in the 200 breast with a 2:07.33 mark. The Wilton, Conn., native picked up his second victory of the meet in the 200 medley relay. He and his teammates also finished second in the 400 freestyle.
Against the Rebels, Yamamoto picked up two individual top honors and two relay victories. Her times of 56.33 and 2:03.38 in the 100 and 200 butterfly earned her first place in both events. She also teamed up with fellow Gauchos to take the top prize in the 200 medley and 400 freestyle relays.
Coming off a win over UNLV, UC Santa Barbara hits the road for matchups with UC Davis and Pacific. The Gauchos take on UC Davis Friday and then visit Stockton, Calif., to face the Tigers.
