Abstract: A financial management system includes a portal which makes transaction information available to a corresponding mutual fund in real time. In one implementation, information related to multiple portals can be presented to a mutual fund. Suitable programming may optionally identify, at least partially, the users associated with transactions associated with a given mutual fund.

Abstract: A core for insertion into a void formed in or by a paver, and a method of making the core. The core includes a soil, a binder holding the core in a shape adapted for being received into the void, and may include phytoremediating plant seeds and/or a soil stabilizer. The binder may be biodegradable or not, and may be a pulp form, and/or an encapsulating shell. The binder may be selected from the group consisting of starch, cellulose, glue, adhesive, and bio-degradable or non-biodegradable plastic, and may be applied to the surface of the soil or mixed with the soil. The core may be compressively formed. A paving surface with seedless cores installed may be hydroseeded.

Abstract: A PDA (10) is provided that includes: an LCD touch screen (12) that supports a GUI through which a user selectively provides input to the PDA (10); a scanner (16) housed within the PDA (10), the scanner (16) selectively capturing an image by passing the scanner (16) over the image; an OCR object (30) which identifies characters of text within an image captured by the scanner (16), the OCR object (30) generating text in a first language; and, a language translation object (32) which produces a translation of text generated by the OCR object (30), the translation being in a second language different than the first language. Suitably, at least one of the image captured by the scanner (16), the text generated by the OCR object (30), and the translation produced by the language translation object (32) is selectively output on the LCD touch screen (12).
