Create an independent exclusive personal barcode system that when an item is scanned at acceptance my account is automatically charged. Of course identifiers for different classes would have to be in place. Exp...I could print off a sheet of first class, priority. parcel, ect with my personal identifier in place. With the advent of the IMB this service could be expanded to the individual , makeing shipping easier, postal increases automatic,and the use of the stamp a thing of the past....that in itself saveing millions of dollars each year in printing costs.

Amazing technology, with nothing but wild claims and anecdotal evidence to back it up. The "clinical research" they claim on their website is nothing but case studies by PT's, not MD's, not IRB studies. AlterG should either prove their claims or stop making them.

The end of the Mayan calendar marks the beginning of a new time, not the end of the world. Mayans now don't think the world is going to come to a crashing halt in 2012. This article gives a bit of insight; www.realitysandwich.com/mayan_elder_2012

I appreciate the information. I have never heard of Women Business Centers (WBCs). Do you have contact info for WBCs in Southern California? Thanks very much.

Glad to see someone else is writing about these issues. Unfortunately, the collective voices speaking for small business are nearly always drowned out by the lobbyists and political donations of large companies. There is essentially no incentive for politicians or administrators to do anything substantive to help small business.

Why is the federal government able to miss our official pay dates? Today is Sunday November 15. Our pay date was Friday November 13. Our paychecks, which are automatically deposited, have not yet been deposited in our accounts. When they eventually do get deposited, they will be back dated to Nov 13. Why is the federal government allowed to be late on every pay check?
