WASHINGTON聽鈥?The good news is that Americans are saving more than ever for college. The bad news is that the average amount wouldn't come close to getting a person a degree.In a report released Tuesday, the College Savings Plans Network found that the average college savings or prepaid tuition account known as a "529" plan is now worth about $20,671 鈥?almost double what these accounts were worth during the dog-days of the recession.Called a 529 after a section in the <a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php>Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale</a>  federal tax code, these investment accounts aren't the only way to save for college. But they are a popular option because the money grows tax-free and withdrawals aren't taxed so long as the money is used for college expenses.The group, which tracks the state-sponsored savings plans, attributes the increase to several factors including a healthier stock market and improved economy, as well as greater consumer awareness of 529 plans and a growing concern among parents of the cost of higher education. According to the report, contributions to 529 plans jumped from $16.5 billion in 2009 to $22.5 billion.At the same time, the $20,671 figure would only cover the first year at a public college or university. The average cost for a four-year public school, including room and board, is about $18,391 a year for in-state students but rises sharply 鈥?$31,701 鈥?<a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php> Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet</a>  for those from out of state. Private schools typically cost even more with $40,917 for a single year of tuition, fees, room and board, according to recent estimates by the College Board.Betty Lochner, chair of the College Savings Plans Network, said the latest finding is still good news because any amount saved is money that won't need to be repaid with interest."The steady increase of total assets, account size and contributions in 529 plans, are positive signs that Americans recognize saving for college as a long-term commitment and investment," Lochner said in a statement accompanying the group's report.Overall, the group found that college savings and prepaid tuition plans have climbed steadily since 2008, when the country fell into a recession following the crash of the housing market. That year, the average <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php>gucci outlet</a>  college savings account dropped to $10,690. The nation had $104.9 billion in assets managed under the savings plans at the time.As of June this year, the average savings account almost doubled to $20,671 with total assets topping $244 billion. The group noted a particularly sharp increase in the first half of this year: Between January and June, total assets in 529 plans grew by about $17 billion.

@@@ MILWAUKEE (WITI) The latest calls for peace in Milwaukee can come from anyone, and they ll be heard by everyone. The Milwaukee Police Department has partnered with some of Milwaukee s radio stations in a new Triggers of Peace campaign. Police, and a number of Milwaukee s DJs believe the airwaves are the perfect platform. They re using the signal to give citizens across Milwaukee a voice to call for peace.

Hello Milwaukee community. I`m just calling to ask all my brothers and sisters to please stop this violence, Artania Grant says in a voice-mail for radio <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Sunglasses-Men-For-Baby-Bamboo.html>Gucci For Baby</a>  station V-100.7.

Milwaukee s urban radio stations are collecting the recordings, and they ll be played throughout the day.

We could run regular PSAs all the time `anti-violence, anti-violence` but it takes on a different tone when you hear your grandmother telling you `hey you know what? This isn`t the right way to do,' V-100.7 Program Director Bailey Coleman said.

The personalized messages are the result of a partnership between Urban Radio United for Peace and Milwaukee police. Hoping to reduce gun violence, MPD enlisted the help of ad agency Cramer-Krasselt.

It became very clear to us very quickly that messages where you talk at people, the `just walk away` wasn`t gonna play. You really needed to get personal, Lisa Rios with Cramer-Krasselt said.

I`m a mother of four and I like to bring my kids out to play. We like to have fun, but it`s not safe anymore in our community, Grant said.

The goal is for so many people to leave messages that eventually, someone who s thinking about committing a crime will hear the voice of a loved one.

It`s more direct. It`s more hard-hitting. It s right there, Coleman said.

So far this year, police say Milwaukee has seen 60 homicides. That can be compared to 76 at this time last year. If you d like to leave a recording, call 1-844-SEND-PEACE.
