| Face of Mexican wealth in S.A.
San Antonio can expect a steady stream of affluent Mexican investors over the next decade, and a substantial number of them likely will invest in local business, a study released Friday concluded. While the majority tends to keep money in banks and stocks, 46 percent of well-heeled Mexican natives who have moved to the Alamo City invested in local businesses. Another 35 percent invested in their own local business, said Luis Escobar, president of EG&A Direct International Inc., a local market research firm that also consults Mexicans on U.S. investments. The study was confined to 1,291 Mexicans who have established residency here and have annual earnings of more than $100,000. Escobar conducted the survey to put a face on what he described as the top Mexican investors, those with high incomes, investment portfolios of at least $50,000, homes in San Antonio and all above the age of 30.

Of Tattoos, Naps and iPods in the Office
Another administrator asked for tips on how to get a stubborn worker in her 30s to realize that the administrator would never promote her. In “How Can Your Office Operate When Your Winter Gloves Are Older Than Most of Your Staff Members," a session on Tuesday morning, Little and three other administrators in their 40s or older tried to get a grasp on the issues and ideas that make the “young people" in their offices — the Generation Xers and the Nexters (among other terms for these age groups), born from the mid-1960s through the mid-1980s — tick. The conversation included talk of e-mail, cell phones, iPods and other technology, and was punctuated by a couple of PowerPoint bloopers, as the presenters almost proudly fumbled ahead or back in their computer-aided presentations.

The Swamp
COCOA BEACH, Fla. -- "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy!' chant dozens of people crowded inside the center of the famous surf emporium, the Ron Jon Surf Shop, on a sparkling if chilly Sunday, the last stop on the former mayor of New York's bus tour of the Sunshine State. Giuliani rolls out of here this evening and heads out for one final fly-around tomorrow in the state where he has banked his campaign for president -- a state where polls show him trailing two of his Republican rivals, Sen. John McCain and former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts. The candidate brought with him an erstwhile candidate, former Gov. Tommy Thomson "This is a gigantic store,'' the ex-mayor exclaims. "Not as big as New York,'' a woman calls out. Here in the realm of long shorts, tank tops and flip flops, Giuliani has not shed the business suit that he has worn throughout this final day of ground-campaigning.
