NPR looking for biz in credit squeeze

Hi All:

This may not be the story you imagined for yourself on National Public Radio, but let me know if it fits your situation. NPR is looking to do short radio profiles of companies that are experiencing a credit squeeze...ie. they cannot get the line of credit they need/want from their bank or credit card company, because of the nationwide credit squeeze. They want to talk about the effect on your company and why you need the money now. Respond here or email me through biznik in the next few days if you fit this description and are interested in being interviewed. Thanks so much. Shirley Skeel

Unread msgs?.... I thought I read them all

Hi: This is probably me being technically challenged. But my msg box says I have 4 unread msgs. I believe I have read all my mgs....but the unread number keeps rising. How can I tell which msgs I have read and which not? (I know if I reply I can see the arrow....but what if I don't reply?)

thanks ss

Looking for Green-based biz's for story

Hi Folks: I’m doing a feature for a local paper about “How the heck big is this Green Economy gonna get?” I’m looking to interview: 1. Puget Sound businesses in fast growing "green" areas... 2. Knowledgeable commentators about the fastest growing sectors, the economic pros and cons of greenness; and the costs of greenness to business (anecdotes welcome!). If you can recommend anyone (including yourself of course) do contact me or reply here please. Thanks so!

Journo needs business seeking a loan or just got one....for story.URGENT

Hi All:

I am doing a story for a Seattle Area business paper about how difficult or easy it is to get business loans in the current climate. I need a business person (small biz is fine...medium size is better) who has recently been trying to get a BANK loan or just got one...and would be happy to tell their story about how easy or hard it was. It would be a short telephone interview....ideally today Wed or Thursday. Monday is my absolute deadline. If this is you or you know someone I would be tremendously grateful. If you respond I will get an email...and will get back to you.

thank you! Shirley Skeel
