One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week" The florist is pleased and leaves the shop.
Next morning when the barber goes to open there is a thank you card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week." The cop is happy and leaves the shop. Next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a thank you card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Later a Republican comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week." The Republican is very happy and leaves the shop. Next morning when the barber goes to open, there is a thank you card and a dozen different books such as "How to improve your business" and " Becoming more successful "
Then a Democrat comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week."

Zebra Technologies' RFID Strategy Aligns With Wal-Mart Vision of Supplier, Retailer, and Customer Benefits
Monday March 14, 8:00 am ET
- Zebra Advances RFID Adoption With Dynamic On-Demand Printing Solutions and Strategic Partnerships
VERNON HILLS, Ill., March 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zebra Technologies (Nasdaq: ZBRA - News), a global leader in on-demand printing solutions for business improvement, continues to reinforce its leadership position in the rapid progression towards radio frequency identification (RFID) implementation in manufacturing and distribution supply chains. As a featured co-sponsor of the recent Xtalks Webcast, "Making a Difference," with keynote speaker Simon Langford, Wal-Mart's manager of RFID strategy, Zebra once again joined with other industry leaders to advance RFID adoption for retailer compliance mandates and leverage RFID implementation to foster internal process improvements that lead to greater efficiency, productivity, and customer service, while reducing operating costs and enhancing return on investment. The Webcast drew more than 800 retail, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, consumer packaged goods, and supply chain industry executives from more than two dozen countries and hundreds of companies, such as Time Warner, Michelin, Timex, Motorola, American Greetings, Nintendo of America, Dow Chemical, JC Penney, IBM, Pfizer, Kimberly-Clark, and UPS, among others.

In his presentation, Simon Langford, head of global RFID strategy for Wal-Mart Stores Inc., acknowledged that bar code technology transformed the way retailers and their suppliers do business, and predicted that RFID will "revolutionize" the industry in much the same way. Langford emphasized that while RFID adoption is a journey that is just beginning, he projects significant benefits for Wal-Mart customers (specifically in the form of zero out-of-stocks), suppliers, and the company itself.
Bob Cornick, Zebra Technologies' vice president and general manager of RFID, notes: "The momentum of RFID adoption and serious interest in the supply chain is very encouraging, especially when you consider how long it took for other transformative technologies to take hold. As a leading technology-savvy retailer, Wal-Mart is a catalyst." Cornick adds, "As a result of the RFID learning curve over the last two years, suppliers are also starting to see the benefits RFID can deliver in terms of end-to-end supply chain visibility, product protection, inventory management and speed-to-market. Zebra intends to remain at the forefront of RFID product development, testing and the ongoing education of our customers, to ensure they continue to realize these benefits."
In charting the progress of RFID implementation at Wal-Mart, Langford explained that 104 Wal-Mart Stores, 36 Sam's Clubs and three distribution centers have already been installed with RFID receiving systems. By the middle of January, 57 suppliers had gone live -- with Wal-Mart receiving more than 7,000 tagged pallets and 210,000 tagged cases. Langford added that today, more than 100 Wal-Mart suppliers are successfully complying with the RFID mandate and the next 200 suppliers are on target for 2006. Zebra currently works closely with a majority of the companies expected to comply with RFID industry mandates in 2005 and 2006.
In November 2004, Zebra introduced two high-performance UHF EPC multi-protocol printer/encoders (the Zebra R110Xi and R170Xi) to help companies meet RFID labeling requirements now and into the future. These were the sixth and seventh RFID printer/encoders to be introduced by Zebra last year, and the product development continues.
"2004 was primarily the year of pilot testing RFID technology," says Matt Ream, senior manager for RFID systems at Zebra. "2005 is the year of deployment. We will continue to meet the needs of our customers with the widest selection of RFID and 'RFID-Ready' printing solutions available today, and to support our products, our nationwide network of RFID-certified Zebra partners, and collaborative test labs to help companies learn how they can evaluate their RFID needs, build the right infrastructure, and reengineer their processes to ensure success and optimize ROI."
A member of EPCglobal, and a technology sponsor of the former Auto-ID Center at MIT, Zebra is playing a leading role in the development of RFID "smart label" technology, standards and applications for supply chain and business improvement programs designed to help suppliers to the U.S. Department of Defense, Wal-Mart and other retailers meet the RFID EPC compliance labeling requirements.
As a pioneer and leader in RFID printing/encoding technologies, Zebra has been researching and developing RFID technologies for more than eight years and was the first company to produce an integrated, on-demand RFID printer/encoder -- the R140 -- nearly five years ago. Zebra's popular R402 desktop model followed in 2002. Today, Zebra has the most complete line of RFID products.
The "Making a Difference" Webcast featuring Wal-Mart and EPCglobal was produced and broadcasted by Xtalks, a leading executive networking, event management, Web conferencing, publishing, and digital media company, and sponsored by Zebra, Acsis Inc., and Symbol Technologies.

Nokia sees strong Q1 sales after surprising Q4
Thu Jan 27, 2005 06:12 AM ET
HELSINKI, Jan 27 (Reuters) - The world's top mobile phone maker Nokia forecast on Thursday strong first-quarter sales as its handset mix improves, after posting a less-than-expected drop in fourth-quarter earnings due to strong Christmas demand.
Nokia said it expected January to March earnings per share of 0.12-0.15 euros, down from 0.17 euros a year ago and hit by a charge related to job cuts at its Multimedia unit. Analysts in a Reuters poll expected 0.15 euros per share.
Sales were seen at 7-7.3 billion euros, well above expectations of 6.87 billion in the poll.
Fourth-quarter earnings fell to 0.23 euros per share from 0.25 euros a year ago, but crushed the Finnish company's forecast of 0.16-0.18 euros and expectations of 0.19 euros.
The result caps a grim year for Nokia. It warned in April it was losing handset market due to a patchy portfolio, and spent the rest of 2004 cutting prices to halt and partially reverse the damage. It proposed a dividend of 0.33 euros per share.

Off the top of my head the market has a historical average of 12%so i don't think it is a 90's boom idea
From what i have read the only guaranty is that S.S. is going to be in big trouble in about 30 years if something is not done
cheaper and force the government to be disciplined and not use these funds and let them grow,
theres the hard part keeping politicians disciplined
Its only semi private, the money comes if you opt into the plan out of your S.S. , your already paying 12+ percent of your wages.
I do not propose writing anyone off just an option of trying to get a better return on your money i think we are getting less than 0 now
Hello Zeev
1. Social security: Privatization of part of it. First issue is yes or no. If yes, second issue is how? The same way individual controls their IRA?
Yes privatize it
Only people with 25 years til eligibility should privatize and that money will go into a fund. If you are 20 you would be 90% stocks and 10 % bonds
If you are 60 you will be 90 % bonds 10% stocks
the scale will slide as you get nearer retirment age.
No way should we let people have as much freedom as we do with a IRA, people like Maine would go 100%long GOOG call options <g>
and another thing you said
I read some statistics, presented here last week, that divorce rates are lower in the northeast than in the red sates
