Rob Black brings Wall Street experience and media savvy to "Rob Black & Your Money ," weekdays at 10am on KRON 4 San Francisco. Rob began his career in media almost ten years ago as a business correspondent for Business Talk Radio. He got his big break when a regular reporter failed to show up for work, and Rob took the ball and ran with it, injecting the morning news reports with commentary from his full-time job as a money manager. Rob moved into long-form radio when a show host got snowed in and there were no other alternatives than to put the business report on for 30 minutes. It was a surprise hit, and thus "Stock Talk" was born. On the nationally syndicated show, Rob presented the stories behind the stories on Wall Street, and explained why stocks moved higher or lower. It was during his tenure with Business Talk Radio that Rob gained exposure in the Bay Area. The live national audience didn't hold a candle to the fervent callers from the Bay Area, and the decision to leave Business Talk Radio was easy when the opportunity to work for CNET Radio in the Bay Area came along. "Stock Talk" was the highest-rated show ever on CNET Radio and delivered a 600% increase in listeners. Callers thrived on the Gen X approach to earnings, tech stocks, and corporate greed, and to this day, Rob credits his enthusiastic listeners as being his agent. Rob is the Chief Investment Officer and a founding member of GLB Group. He also publishes daily financial research and market commentary at www.robblack.com , and is an oft-quoted source of fundamental data on the stock market and specific companies. Rob donates 100% of his media compensation to local and national branches of the Children's Hospital. He lives in Marin County, where on weekends he can be seen running, playing soccer, hiking and anything not investment related - after all, he needs a break sometime! http://www.robblack.comNational Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP)
The National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) is a dynamic trade association and the world's leading resource for Adobe Photoshop education, training, and news. It is led by a world-class team of Photoshop experts, authors, consultants, trainers, and educators whose focus is to ensure that NAPP members stay on the cutting edge of Adobe Photoshop techniques and ahead of their competition. The idea for forming NAPP grew out of feedback received by instructors on the Adobe Photoshop Seminar Tour (which we founded in 1993). Students asked for direction on continuing education but at that time there was no central resource for Photoshop instruction. It became apparent that there was a tremendous need for this type of association, and with the urging and input of industry leaders, the groudwork was developed for what would become NAPP. With Adobe System's help, NAPP made its debut at Seybold New York in April of 1998, along with the premiere of the first issue of Photoshop User magazine. The organization was met with an immediate flood of support. Within just a few months NAPP had already enrolled thousands of members and quickly grew beyond the borders of the U.S. to become a truly international organization that now has members in 107 countries around the world. In 2003 NAPP became the first educational association of its kind to become nationally accredited. Because of this nationally recognized ACCET accreditation, NAPP is now able to provide continuing education credits to students who attend NAPP produced training events. Today NAPP maintains its focus on its members so that it can continue to address the techniques, issues, and concerns that Photoshop users share. It is this relationship that has propelled NAPP to become one of the largest, most respected organizations of its kind, and the worldwide central resource for Adobe Photoshop training and education and news.

The Buzz
Talk about the coolest sling/backpack around! The Tom Bihn Buzz is hand crafted with mobility in mind. You'll seriously dig how Bihn created the inner compartment for your PowerBook or iBook (hey, all you Sony Vaio users will enjoy it too!). Practical, beautiful and subtle, the Buzz is as easy on your eyes as it is on your back. Not a big bag, the Buzz has room and a place for all the essentials. If everything you carry doesn't fit inside, then maybe you carry too much. The main compartment has a padded sleeve for a small-ish laptop, day planner or text book, plus room for a light lunch or maybe another book. The front pocket has an organizer with places for pens, wallet or PDA, business cards or I.D., and a snaphook for keys. A water bottle pocket on the side holds most common water bottles (when there's a shortage of water) or a small umbrella (when there isn't); cell phone pocket on the shoulder strap fits most cell phones, or an iPod/MP3 player, or sunglasses. The Buzz rides exclusively on the right shoulder, and the wide, padded strap crosses the front of the body; a side-release buckle frees you from its loving embrace faster than a Vegas divorce, and it's adjustable, too, so all good people (between about 5'2 and 6'3") can wear the Buzz. When access is required, you needn't remove it: unlike a backpack, the Buzz just swings around to your front and allows you paw through either the pocket or the main compartment. The Buzz is made with fabrics that are coated on the interior with urethane for water resistance and treated on the exterior with a durable water-repellent finish. Over time these surface treatments can wear, leaving your bag and its contents more exposed to rain and snow than you might like. Nikwax is designed to replenish the water-repellent finish. It is also recommended as an extra precaution for your new Buzz if you intend to use it in an extremely wet environments. Nikwax is environmentally friendly and is not tested on animals (just on PowerBook users). Available through http://www.TomBihn.com
