  "It can be overwhelming if you don't know where to begin," said Linda Segal Blinn, vice president of technical services for ING.

  "One size fits all does not work for clothing and it does not work for retirement plans either," Blinn said."One public school may give their employees the chance to make Roth after-tax contributions, while others may make employer contributions to their employees' retirement accounts.The ING 403(b) Plan has the flexibility to let public schools tailor their plan document to meet their needs."
  
  Lost in Cyberspace
  
  "Once upon a time, if I was a participant and I wanted to move money to a vendor, I could just do it," Blinn said."Participants could pretty much call the shots.With these new rules, the IRS has required a lot more employer involvement."
  
  The IRS started auditing 403(b) plans in the late 1990s and found that without a monitoring program, a lot of information was disappearing into cyberspace, Blinn said.

  "You can't put a complicated plan like this in place in the last few weeks of December," Blinn said.

  With many plans currently, "if I'm a 403(b) employee, I'm calling all the shots," said Linda Segal Blinn, a Hartford, Conn.-based vice president of technical services at ING, the financial-services company in Atlanta.
  
  With many 403(b) plans, particularly at the K-12 educational level and at smaller nonprofit organizations, employees manage the plan, not the employer.The employee works directly with financial-services companies -- often meeting face-to-face with sales representatives -- to invest in fixed or variable annuities and mutual funds.
  
  But under proposed IRS rules expected to go into effect in January, "there is really going to be a paradigm shift," Blinn said.
  ...
  "For employees who are used to doing all the decision-making on their own, it's going to be a culture shock," Blinn said.Overall, about 11 million workers are invested in 403(b)s, according to Cerulli Associates.

  Linda Segal Blinn"It would definitely be a benefit to eliminate a drug that isn't going to be as effective.Why put yourself through that and additional side effects if it's not going to be something that's going to work for that particular patient?"
  
  Linda Segal Blinn, a breast cancer survivor who was treated at the Helen & Harry Gray Cancer Center in 2001 and 2002, said that the promise of Total Cancer Care, Hartford Hospital's collaboration with the Moffitt Cancer Center is that the emerging genetic science may make it possible to pinpoint specific treatments that are best suited to an individual and his or her cancer. When tissue is removed for diagnosis and/or treatment from Hartford Hospital patients who choose to participate in this exciting research study, a small amount of that tissue will be sent for molecular and genetic analysis at Moffitt.The primary purpose is to study a large number of patients with particular cancers to help understand potential targets for the development of future therapies.Over time, individual patients also may benefit from this genetic "fingerprinting." "It would definitely be a benefit to eliminate a drug that isn't going to be as effective," said Blinn."Why put yourself through that and additional side effects if it's not going to be something that's going to work for that particular patient?" Blinn, a Glastonbury resident who works as a legal specialist for ING, said that chemotherapy was more difficult for her than either surgery or radiation therapy.The work with Moffitt, she said, could help bring about an era in which tissue samples help to specifically target therapies for patients. "I think it's great," she said.
