Ann, Hope you're doin' okay. I've been gone for awhile too - though I'm sure my absence was a lot more fun than a hospital visit!! Didn't see the INS story but our local CBS news affiliate had a nice piece on KidzKard last night. No mention of IDX or Biometric Tracking. But they showed the card and talked briefly about adding fingerprint information. The cards had the same style logo as the Biometric Tracking kidzkard, so I'm assuming it was our little company. I enjoy any coverage we can get. Take Care and Get Well !!! Carey

Off Topic I bet those Tar Heels made you feel better. Actually, I thought it was Coach K who needed a "stay" after Thursday night. On topic Once again, IDX is down on lighter than average volume. Technically, I'd really like to see us close over $10 this week. Let's get back on the right side of the fence. Happily Long IDX, Duke

INS to Speed Naturalization, Tighten Checks By Anthony Boadle Excerpts: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government Monday unveiled plans to modernize the Immigration and Naturalization Service to handle a backlog of 1.7 million applications by foreign residents to become U.S. citizens. The overhaul is also aimed at stopping criminals from obtaining U.S. citizenship, a move prompted by Republican charges that 180,000 immigrants slipped through the system without checks before the 1996 election. . . . The INS will also start electronic fingerprinting of applicants. Digital photography and bar-coding will speed up processing and avoid delays caused by the loss or mismatching of documents. The fingerprints will be sent to the FBI electronically, reducing to a few days the time needed for criminal background checks, the INS said. Fingerprint checks will be repeated at key stages of the process, such as the interview, the tests for English language proficiency and knowledge of U.S. civic history, and the taking of the oath of citizenship, to ensure that the person present is the applicant. . . . Immigration support groups said they hoped Congress would fund the parts of the INS modernization plan not covered by 1998 budget appropriations.
