Obama Commission Recommends End to Subsidized Student Loans
The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform has issued a report that recommends the elimination of subsidized federal student loans in order to reduce federal spending. The recommendation is one of 50 that the bipartisan panel, which was created by President Obama and charged with finding ways to reduce the federal deficit, brought forward.
Federal subsidized student loans are government-issued student loans () on which the government pays --subsidizes -- the interest while a student is in school or in an approved deferment period. During deferment periods, which are granted on a case-by-case basis when a student loan borrower is experiencing financial hardship or other extenuating circumstances, the borrower isn't required to make principal or interest payments on his or her federal college loans.
Subsidized student loans, awarded on the basis of financial need, are available to low-income students and students from low-income families. The President's fiscal commission estimates that eliminating the federal interest payments on these subsidized college loans would save about billion annually.
The proposal to eliminate subsidized federal student loans isn't a recommendation to shutter the federal student loan program altogether. Federally funded student loans are also available in an unsubsidized form, and these unsubsidized student loans are awarded to eligible students, regardless of income bracket, who qualify for federal college financial aid to help them pay for college.
>> Do Student Loan Subsidies Benefit Students?
A growing number of policy groups support dispensing with federally subsidized student loans. The College Board recommended the same move in 2008, and some Democratic lawmakers also included the elimination of subsidized student loans in the initial draft of the student loan reforms that were enacted in 2009. The provision was dropped after student advocates and higher education lobbyists successfully persuaded House Democrats to retain the student loan subsidies.
Supporters of dropping the subsidized interest benefit say that subsidized student loans don't do anything to make college more accessible to the low-income students to whom the loans are awarded, since borrowers don't reap the benefit of the subsidy until after they've graduated.
Others who support the move to do away with subsidized student loans argue that student borrowers shouldn't receive a benefit designed to reduce student loan debt that's based on what the borrower's family income was 10 or 20 years earlier.
Instead, proponents contend, already-available flexible student loan repayment plans like income-dependent payments, graduated payments, and repayment term extensions are more effective and fairer.
A new income-based repayment plan (), instituted last year, is based on the student loan borrower's post-graduation income, a better measure of a borrower's long-term financial outlook.
Graduated repayment, in which a student loan borrower's monthly payments start out low and gradually increase every two years -- designed for borrowers who expect their income to increase steadily over time -- is available to all borrowers of federal college loans, regardless of their family income at the time they attended college.
>> More Proposed Changes to Federal College Financial Aid
Eliminating federal student loan interest subsidies isn't the only change the fiscal commission recommends. The commission's deficit-reduction proposal would also put an end to payments to colleges and universities for the administration of campus-based federal financial aid programs ().
Colleges and universities administer certain federal financial aid awards locally --Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Perkins loans, and federally funded work-study programs. A school may retain as much as 5 percent of the federal financial aid funds provided for these programs to cover the cost of administration. Institutions that distribute federal Pell Grants also receive a small fixed payment to cover administrative costs.
Under the proposed deficit-reduction plan, the 5-percent administrative fee would be eliminated, and all federal funds would be delivered in the form of student financial aid, with no portion of those funds being siphoned away any longer in the form of administrative costs.
The commission's rationale for eliminating these administrative fees is that colleges and universities benefit from federal grant programs because, unlike college loans, the federal grant dollars effectively increase enrollment by making college more affordable for students.
>> From Policy Proposal to National Law
The fiscal commission doesn't have the final say on which recommended reforms are enacted. Currently, the commission's report is in draft form. The commission must prepare a final recommendation no later than Dec. 1, 2010, and the final draft must have the approval of at least 14 of the commission's 18 members.
Once the report is finalized and presented to the White House, legislators are expected to take up the recommendations and convert them into legislative mandates.
The commission's recommendations are designed to balance the federal budget by 2015. If adopted, the recommendations would involve a broad set of austerity measures, including both spending cuts and tax reforms.

Pay Off Payday Loans To Begin Your Fight Against Debt
Falling behind on your credit cards, online payday loans, car payments or home mortgage? Financial stress can interfere with your physical and mental health. Your psychological health can be crucial when you are trying to straighten up your finances. When you are feeling that stress, making short goals with quick rewards can help boost your spirits giving you additional incentive for making good money decisions.
Many people would suggest that you fight against your largest debt first. This is one way of working on your budget, but it may just add to your stresses. Fighting the biggest opponent when you first step into the debt battlefield may be overwhelming and chaotic. It is chaotic in the sense that while you are focusing your attention on the largest chunk in an uphill battle, there are still many other smaller ones circling around trying to get their jabs into you in order to claim their payments. In boxing, the fighter starts with the lower skilled opponents and will work their way up the ladder to fight the title defender. New approaches are learned along the way building up skill level. If a beginner starts out fighting against the top dog, the agony of defeat may potentially keep the loser down and out of the ring.
Get rid of payday loans debt first. Fight against the small guys first and payoff any short-term payday loans you may have open with unpaid balances. Freeing yourself of smaller opponents will begin to clear out the battle zone one creditor at a time. The less you see coming at you, the better you will start to feel psychologically. Yes, the big debt is still lurking, but it will be easier to focus on it once the smaller ones have been paid off.
Begin paying off the smaller debts. Don't let interest rates affect your decision unless there are some with similar balances and you need a tie breaker as to which one will go first. When you pay off the small debt, the money amount you were spending gets added to the next bill to be paid off. Each time you do this, the money amount which is being applied towards your selected debt increases in value which will end up making you stronger to take down the big guns. Build your skill and your strategy to be more effective towards the stronger opponents. Sounds like a winning plan of attack!
Building your financial confidence will begin to relive stress. The pile of bills on your desk will start shrinking and you will feel like a winner. Stress is a difficult opponent to get rid of, but with focus and time, you can prevail. Psychological improvements will help keep your health from being affected by your finances.

Online Solutions For Ca, Cs, Cwa, Icwai
Trying hard to get through the Professional Exams in commerce stream like Chartered Accountancy, Company Secretary and Cost & Works Accountants? Results not behaving the way you want them to?
We all know very well that getting through the various levels of these courses offered by the respective institutes of ICAI, ICSI and ICWAI have always been a difficult task for all of us. The Question that arises - Is it really that challenging task or a tough task or is it BOTH tough and challenging?
Why it so happens that even if we are satisfied with our performances on the examination days still we are unable to make it! Is it because of the increasing examination pressure? Or the peer pressure? Or would it be wrong if it is said that it's just we aren't prepared the way we should have been as these professional examinations demand.
We all try our best to prepare for the examinations be it for CPT/Foundation courses or for the Final levels of Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, Cost and Works Accountants.
It becomes even more difficult for students to come out confidently when the graduation classes & Articleships/Practical Trainings are going on parallel. Even when we know we are running short of time to do our studies for these professional courses we have no choice but to still manage to steal some time out for the coaching classes of various important subjects which has become of utmost importance in today's competitive examination scenario.
We all more or less do all this for clearing our examinations. Have we ever thought that why it happens that only VERY FEW of us get through the exams in the term we expect us to clear ESPECIALLY when we all put the same amount of hard work and attend the same coaching classes?
Considering the above time crunch that we face with the on going articleship, coaching classes etc we end up postponing our self studies towards the end. Hence, we actually start preparing for the respective examination during our preparation leaves or when we are through with our coaching classes. Under such a situation, we actually unknowingly put ourselves in tremendous pressure & in a difficult position which is quite visible on the faces of most of us when we are sitting to write the papers.
What we learn from this simple factual statement as narrated above that the MOST important thing which we all generally skip is timely and regularly preparing for the examinations which at one end would help us complete our courses in time BUT at the other end will also lead to a better temperament and confidence levels that is required for the FINAL DAY!.
When the reasons of our NOT "up to the mark" performance in the professional exams is so clear, then what is the solution to this?
Friends, the solution is also as clear as the problem itself. We just need to structure our preparation time table in a better way and which is spread over a longer duration before the final day! That's it!
To fight with the current situation, the MOCK TEST SOLUTIONS offered by Eduex is gaining tremendous importance among the commerce students community (students of Chartered Accountants Company Secretaries Cost & Work Accountants courses).

The Options Delta - What It Is And How It Works
The term "options delta" is one of what are commonly called "the Greeks" in option trading, but understanding its significance can make a big difference to your trading decisions.
In its simplest form, the delta is a number which describes the relationship between the movement in the price of the underlying financial instrument (stock, commodity, currency etc) and the option price that derives from it.
An example would be the "at-the-money" option. This refers to an option whose strike price is exactly the same as the current market price of the underlying. Whether we are talking call or put options, an at-the-money option always has a theoretical delta of 0.50 or 50 percent. The reason is, because from this 'at-the-money' position, the option contract has a 50/50 chance of expiring out-of-the-money. This is because in the future, the underlying will move one way or the other, up or down. It doesn't matter which way it goes, the odds are 50 percent, or 0.50 each way.
Now, the further away from the strike price the underlying moves, if it causes the option to go 'out-of-the-money', the less likelihood there is, that the option contract will be of any intrinsic value at expiry date. So the delta decreases. Conversely, if the underlying moves in your favour, thus making the option contract 'in-the-money' the more likelihood there is that option will expire with some intrinsic value. So the options delta increases, but only to a maximum of 1.0 or 100 percent which indicates certainty.
Using the Options Delta in Trading Decisions
Now that you understand how the options delta works, you can use this to your advantage when assessing the potential risk of any trade. Let's say for example, that you want to write a put credit spread over a stock index because you believe the index will either rise or at least remain above the strike price you have in mind by expiry date.
So you decide to sell put options at 100 points below the current index price and buy the same amount of put options at 110 points below, thus creating a 10 point credit spread. You observe that the options delta for the 100 strike price is 0.10 or 10 percent. This means that theoretically, there is only a 10 percent chance that the index is likely to fall below this level by expiry date. In other words, there is a 90 percent chance that you get to keep the credit.
So you enter the trade in the expectation that you have the odds 90 percent in your favour of a successful outcome. The delta has shown you this.
But let's imagine that in the next two weeks, the index falls so that it moves closer to your 'sold' put strike price. This being the case, the delta will increase to reflect the new probability that the index will close below your chosen level at expiry date. So if the delta becomes 0.25 or 25 percent, this means there is now a 25 percent chance that the index will be below the sold strike price at expiry.
Understanding the options delta gives you a valuable tool to make option trading decisions. Some even say that the best and safest way to trade options is by adjusting your positions and "managing by the options delta". This is particularly relevant when it comes to adjustable spreads such as credit spreads and iron condors. Managing your open positions by the delta is a more scientific approach which is a good thing - because after all, option trading should be just another way of doing business.
In its simplest form, the delta is a number which describes the relationship between the movement in the price of the underlying financial instrument (stock, commodity, currency etc) and the option price that derives from it.
An example would be the "at-the-money" option. This refers to an option whose strike price is exactly the same as the current market price of the underlying. Whether we are talking call or put options, an at-the-money option always has a theoretical delta of 0.50 or 50 percent. The reason is, because from this 'at-the-money' position, the option contract has a 50/50 chance of expiring out-of-the-money. This is because in the future, the underlying will move one way or the other, up or down. It doesn't matter which way it goes, the odds are 50 percent, or 0.50 each way.
Now, the further away from the strike price the underlying moves, if it causes the option to go 'out-of-the-money', the less likelihood there is, that the option contract will be of any intrinsic value at expiry date. So the delta decreases. Conversely, if the underlying moves in your favour, thus making the option contract 'in-the-money' the more likelihood there is that option will expire with some intrinsic value. So the options delta increases, but only to a maximum of 1.0 or 100 percent which indicates certainty.
Using the Options Delta in Trading Decisions
Now that you understand how the options delta works, you can use this to your advantage when assessing the potential risk of any trade. Let's say for example, that you want to write a put credit spread over a stock index because you believe the index will either rise or at least remain above the strike price you have in mind by expiry date.
So you decide to sell put options at 100 points below the current index price and buy the same amount of put options at 110 points below, thus creating a 10 point credit spread. You observe that the options delta for the 100 strike price is 0.10 or 10 percent. This means that theoretically, there is only a 10 percent chance that the index is likely to fall below this level by expiry date. In other words, there is a 90 percent chance that you get to keep the credit.
So you enter the trade in the expectation that you have the odds 90 percent in your favour of a successful outcome. The delta has shown you this.
But let's imagine that in the next two weeks, the index falls so that it moves closer to your 'sold' put strike price. This being the case, the delta will increase to reflect the new probability that the index will close below your chosen level at expiry date. So if the delta becomes 0.25 or 25 percent, this means there is now a 25 percent chance that the index will be below the sold strike price at expiry.

Why Buyers Shouldn't Depend on Emotions When Purchasing Portland Homes for Sale
In order to maximize profits, houses being sold by realtors usually undergo refurbishing and renovation in order to look as presentable as possible in the eyes of potential buyers of Portland real estate. Most of these house have been subjected to an overall inspection and repairs of all the major defects that were found when they were first bought by the seller. After these basic procedures, they would be sold at a price higher than the amount they were initially bought. Potential homebuyers then choose a house that they can buy and then take all the needed steps to make sure that they are making a good home purchase. However, there are still some cases wherein some buyers end up in a remorse in spite of all the attention that they have given during the buying process. This scenario usually happens when the home buyer had some misunderstandings with the seller or the buyer met an agent that is hard to communicate with. There are also cases wherein flaws and imperfections have been found after closing the deal, which makes it hard to make arrangements regarding the repairs. However, these kinds of mistakes could have been avoided if the emotional involvement that most buyers experience have been fully controlled.
A buyer's emotional attachment can become a big hindrance to see all the potential risks and impending problems, since most of them could not help but become very excited in finally owning a house they actually bought, whatever the agent or the seller says. Usually, sellers avoid prolonging the procedures because they want buyers to close the deal with them during the time when they are most excited or when they are most emotionally involved. Sellers know that the excitement experienced, most specially by first-time home buyers, is a factor that makes them overlook some important procedures that could help them avoid a home buying mistake. This only shows that relying on emotions can actually go against you. So this means that instead of depending on what you feel, it is better to rely on logic.
Being logical can save you from a home buying remorse. No matter how beautiful the house is or how good the location is, it doesn't mean that it is the perfect one for you and that you have to close the deal right away. Whenever buyers tend to take shortcuts in the buying process, this is where the problems tend to come in unnoticed. To avoid these, you should be as logical as possible in going through the procedures. Remember that there is more than what meets the eye or better yet, there is a lot more behind what the seller or the agent is telling you. Your own personal scrutiny and your critical eye should be applied. Never make haste in closing the deal but rather, take time to be certain that you are making the right decisions when buying Portland homes for sale.

Commercial Leases: Restrictions on Assignment
Commercial leases typically include restraints on transferability, namely that a tenant may not assign the lease without the consent of the Landlord. After California's Supreme Court implied a requirement of reasonableness into lease assignment consent provisions (where none had existed before), California's Legislature enacted a statutory scheme relating to the assignment and subleasing of commercial space.
Evolution of the Law
A majority of jurisdictions, including California, long held that where a lease contains an approval clause (a clause stating that the lease cannot be assigned without the prior consent of the landlord), the landlord could refuse to approve a proposed assignee, even if that refusal was arbitrary and the proposed tenant was perfectly suitable.
With time, many jurisdictions trended toward a reasonableness standard, namely that there must be some commercially reasonable objection to the assignment. California's Supreme Court, in an opinion entitled Kendall v. Ernest Pestana, Inc. (1985) 40 Cal.3d 488, adopted the reasonableness standard, finding that an unreasonable refusal to assign constituted an unreasonable restraint on alienation.
The court held that the trier of fact may properly consider the following factors in determining reasonableness: financial responsibility of the proposed assignee, suitability of the use for the particular property, legality of the proposed use, need for alteration of the premises, and the nature of the occupancy, i.e., office, factory, clinic, etc. However, the court determined that a denial solely on the basis of personal taste, convenience or sensibility was not commercially reasonable. Nor was it reasonable to deny consent in order that the landlord may charge a higher rent than originally contracted for.
Justice Lucas, in a dissenting opinion, noted that the lease in the Kendall case did not require a reasonableness standard. Nor had the Legislature enacted such a requirement. Justice Lucas found it improper for the court to imply a requirement of reasonableness when the Legislature had in fact specifically refused to do so and the parties had not contracted for it. Absent such legislative direction, the parties should be free to contract as they see fit. 40 Cal.3d at 508.
The Legislature's Statutory Scheme
In response to the Kendall case, the California Legislature weighed in on the debate with a comprehensive statutory scheme governing assignments of commercial leases.
In general, without an express limitation, a tenant's interest in a commercial lease is freely transferable. Civ.C. 1995.210. The common law, later codified by statute, also states that any ambiguity in a restriction on transfer of a tenant's interest in a lease shall be construed in favor of transferability. Civ.C. 1995.220. On the other hand, if the parties contractually agree, a party may absolutely prohibit transfer. Civ.C. 1995.230.
Consent of the Landlord
A commonly used provision in leases requires that the landlord's consent is required in order to transfer the tenant's interest. The Legislature also addressed this issue by finding that a restriction on a lease may require the landlord's consent subject to any express standard or condition for giving or withholding consent, including, but not limited to, either (a) the landlord's consent may not be unreasonably withheld, or (b) the landlord's consent may be withheld subject to express standards or conditions. Whether the consent was unreasonably withheld is a question of fact to be determined based on established case law. For example, as noted in the Kendall case, bases for good faith reasonable objection include inability to fulfill terms of the lease, financial irresponsibility or instability, suitability of premises for intended use, or intended unlawful or undesirable use of premises. 40 Cal.3d at 497.
In the event that the lease does not set forth any standards for giving or withholding consent, the restriction shall be construed to include an implied standard that the landlord's consent may not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that a landlord rejects an assignment, a tenant may make a written request for a statement of reasons for withholding consent. In the event that a landlord fails or refuses to respond, the court may find the assignment reasonable simply based on the landlord's failure to respond. In the event that a landlord provides reasons, it is a question of fact as to whether those reasons were reasonable. Civ.C. 1995.260.
Although the Kendall case stated that as a matter of law (versus a question of fact) a denial of consent solely on the basis of personal taste, convenience, or sensibility, and denial of consent in order that the landlord may charge a higher rent than originally contracted for, are not commercially reasonable (40 Cal.3d at 501), the Legislature rejected this absolute approach and instead made resolution of the issue a question of fact to be determined by the circumstances of the particular case. The comments to the statute specifically state that in some circumstances, it may be commercially reasonable for the landlord to require, as a condition for consenting to an assignment, that the premium received by the tenant for the assignment be paid to the landlord. (Referring to John Hogan Enterprises, Inc. v. Kellogg (1986) 187 Cal.App.3d 589).
Appreciation in Rents
A common reason (often unstated) for a Landlord's refusal to consent to an assignment of a lease is the desire to capture the appreciation in rent that has occurred since the lease was entered into. When the Supreme Court decided Kendall, it held that, in a lease in which the issue was not addressed, denying consent solely in order that the landlord may charge a higher rent than originally contracted for was an arbitrary reason which failed the test of good faith and reasonableness. 40 Cal.3d at 501. The court held open the possibility that the parties could contract for an allocation of increased rents, and the Legislature later codified the principal in Civ.C. 1995.240, stating that a restriction in a lease may include a provision that the landlord is entitled to some or all of any consideration the tenant receives from a transferee, in excess of the rent under the lease. However, if not specifically addressed in the lease, this section does not create a presumption that a demand for the increased rent, absent a contractual right to such an increase, is either reasonable or unreasonable. Whether such a demand is reasonable or not would be a question of fact and subject to the existing case law.
A landlord seeking to deny a tenant's request to assign the lease should consult with an attorney who can apply the law to the specific facts in drafting a statement of reasons for the tenant pursuant to Civ.C. 1995.260. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

The Pooling Group: An Unconventional Source Of Capital
We now would like to introduce a very unusual approach often used to raise short-term capital in the Caribbean. This is a method mostly used to save money for special events, such as the purchase of a car. It has become so popular in the US now, that banks use it as an acceptable way to finance the down payment for the purchase of a home. We believe that in certain circumstances, it might be a great capital formation strategy for a small business buyer. The following are the most important characteristics of this technique:
- It is initiated by a Group of five (5) or more people
- Each member of the Group is employed or is a business owner
- The Group is supervised by a manager (usually the organizing member)
- There is a solid commitment by all members to carry out the entire "round" (to be discussed shortly)
- Group members are required to contribute an affordable monthly (or whatever contribution frequency they agree upon) amount, usually 0 or more
To carry out the task of helping its members raise needed capital, a Group can be defined by the following:
- Number of members
- Group head: the person in charge of collecting contributions and disbursements to members. This person is also responsible for keeping track of the logistics of the Group. That is, s/he keeps track of members that have received their round, those that are missing contributions, etc.
- Contribution amount
- Frequency of contribution (usually monthly)
Such a Group is basically a twisted version of an investment club. Members, usually friends and/or family, unless there is an independent Group Manager, agree to pool money by contributing monthly to the fund. Each month, one member gets the entire amount contributed by all members in a round robin fashion. The cycle continues until everyone has received a pay-out, also called a "take" or hand. Note that this is simply a way to get a lump sum at a specific time based on your position in the queue. For a business buyer, the best position in the queue is probably the first one, because the first person in the queue receives the first "take". This would then allow for his/her future contributions to be drawn from the operations of the acquired business.
Please note that this is not a savings account. In the end, contributions and pay-outs cancel each other, such that members do not gain or loose any money at the end of a round. (See table below). In addition, money contributed by the Group's members is never deposited in a bank account, hence earns no interest. To illustrate, let us create a fictitious Group of three members (Member 1, Member 2, and Member 3). Let's assume that each member contributes 0 weekly. There are as many cycles (or rounds) as there are members, in this case three cycles (Week 1, Week 2, Week 3). The total amount of each member's take when his/her turn arrives is 0, which is also equal to the total amount of money contributed.
Week 1
Member/Contribution/Payout
Member 1/0/0
Member 2/0/
Member 3/0/
Week 2
Member/Contribution/Payout
Member 1/0/
Member 2/0/0
Member 3/0/
Week 3
Member/Contribution/Payout
Member 1/0/
Member 2/0/
Member 3/0/0
So, if a buyer can manage to create one of these Pooling Groups around the time that the closing is scheduled to take place, s/he can use this very simple technique to raise the necessary funds to close on an acquisition.

Credit Card Bin Numbers Explained
Many credit card users get confused by the different terms used to define the use of a credit card. They may not understand what credit card bin numbers refer to and many do not also understand what a BIN or Bank Identification Number is. A BIN refers to a set of digits (usually the first prefixed six digits) of a credit card. These numbers are different for Visa credit cards, MasterCard credit cards and for other kinds of credit cards and are also used in the credit card bin numbers.
Learn about who issued the card
Credit card bin numbers are normally used for identifying the issuer of a particular credit card. If you transact business in the online world and you want to ensure that you do not get duped by credit card fraudsters then it is in your best interests to find out more about credit card bin numbers. Even before looking at what credit card bin numbers are, you should take a close look at what a bin list is and how it can be useful in helping you to validate a transaction involving a credit card.
How to deal with discrepancies?
There are times when there are discrepancies in a credit card's information. For example, when you check credit card bin numbers, you will find that the billing address points to one country while the bank operates in another country. In order to validate this information, it is necessary to use credit card bin numbers.
Card type information
These credit card bin numbers help merchants find out how to learn about the type of card and whether it is a prepaid, debit or credit card. Once this information is known, then the merchant can at least hope that the credit card bin numbers pointed to a card that is genuine. If there is any discrepancy shown after entering the credit card bin numbers, then it is time to suspect that a credit card fraud is about to be perpetrated.
With credit card bin numbers, merchants can tap a bin list to find out what type of card the customer has presented and at the same time, they need to understand that prepaid cards are very prone to being used for credit card fraud. Countries such as China, Russia, Indonesia and Nigeria in particular have been ranked as the countries where credit card fraud is most rampant. There are reasons for this which is why merchants must take special care when dealing with credit cards from these countries. They need to ensure that the credit card bin numbers provided are correct. For this, they must inspect the prepaid flags and country of issue flags as those can indicate the authenticity of the card in the best manner possible.
There are several different bin lists that you need to know about. If you are using credit card bin numbers that refer to an Amex card then be sure to look at the Amex bin list. For MasterCard, you will need to refer to a MasterCard bin list and so on.
The more you tap a BIN list that pertains to a particular credit card, the easier it becomes to use credit card bin numbers to help validate the credit card that you are dealing with.
Learn about who issued the card
Credit card bin numbers are normally used for identifying the issuer of a particular credit card.

If there is any discrepancy shown after entering the credit card bin numbers, then it is time to suspect that a credit card fraud is about to be perpetrated.
With credit card bin numbers, merchants can tap a bin list to find out what type of card the customer has presented and at the same time, they need to understand that prepaid cards are very prone to being used for credit card fraud. Countries such as China, Russia, Indonesia and Nigeria in particular have been ranked as the countries where credit card fraud is most rampant. There are reasons for this which is why merchants must take special care when dealing with credit cards from these countries. They need to ensure that the credit card bin numbers provided are correct. For this, they must inspect the prepaid flags and country of issue flags as those can indicate the authenticity of the card in the best manner possible.
There are several different bin lists that you need to know about. If you are using credit card bin numbers that refer to an Amex card then be sure to look at the Amex bin list. For MasterCard, you will need to refer to a MasterCard bin list and so on.
The more you tap a BIN list that pertains to a particular credit card, the easier it becomes to use credit card bin numbers to help validate the credit card that you are dealing with.

First Premier Bank Credit Card Review
Upon first visit to the First Premier Bank's website, I immediately liked the site design and the big sun glasses that greeted me. They set my mind into holiday mode which in turn made me want to look at what kind of credit cards were available.
I see it already, sun, sea and sand. I could book a well deserved break once I am successful with my First Premier Bank Credit Card Application.
But website design is not a good enough reason to choose a credit card, so let's see what features and benefits First Premier Credit Cards has to offer.
When you submit your credit card application, it will take you all of 60 seconds to know your fate, if you are a busy person, (and who isn't) or like me, you want to book that vacation fast, you know how good this feature is.
Bad credit? No problem, if you have less than perfect credit your application is still welcomed.
The APR on purchases is 9.99%. This is an excellent rate, the website did not say if this rate is adjustable based on credit history but it seems so competitive, I tend to think that the lower your credit score the higher the rate. If this is not so, then you are on to a real cracker.
The cash advance APR is19.9% which is fair enough, after all it is a credit card and should not be used as a debit card.
You should be aware of the Penalty APR on purchases though. If you miss your due dates twice in any six month period or for two consecutive months, your APR would increase to 19.9% and will remain at that rate until you pay your bill on time for 3 consecutive months. The clouds are beginning to roll in on this offer.
If you think a bit of cloud is bad, when you see the fees attached to this card, those clouds would really bring the rain down.
On receipt of your card, your limit would be a minimum of 0. Then comes the fees: Annual fee Account Set up fee Program fee Participation fee $ 6 monthly Additional card fee per card Internet Access Fee .95 once you sign up for the service
Most of the fees are added to your account from day one and it would reduce your available credit. When all is said and done, you could actually end up with an available limit of as little as depending on which fees apply to you.
WOW! How far can get me? My local Days Inn?
Based on these features, the First Premier Bank Credit Card operates a lot like a bad credit credit card. But on the plus side, once you pay your bills on time you would benefit from the competitive 9.9% APR.
I would definitely explore some other options.
To determine if this offer is the best you can get (and I sure hope it isn't), compare other bad credit credit cards and see what they have to offer before making your final decision. It could be that your credit history is ok, so check out the vast range of credit card offers that do not carry so many fees.

Why Use a College Planning Calculator?
There are hundreds of thousands of students attending some type of post-secondary schooling in the United States each and ever year. However, the cost of this schooling continues to increase. Students are watching as their tuition bills jump thousands of dollars from year to year. How can individuals plan with such large jumps in tuition? It is not easy, but there are some resources available to students and parents in order to assist them in receiving the funding they need in order to attend the higher education institution of their dreams.
A college planning calculator is an important resource for students and parents who need to calculate what the costs of a student attending a school are. While many parents believe that tuition as well as room and board cover all of the students costs, it is simply not true. Many individuals who are in college soon realize that going out to eat, having to purchase groceries and finally paying for entertainment can add up quickly. A college planning calculator can help individuals to correctly calculate what resources they will need in order to be able to pay for college.
Most individuals are not able to attend college without having some type of student loans. The cost of college is rapidly rising and many individuals are not able to pay cash out of pocket in order to afford the tuition bills. A college planning calculator can include the principal plus interest on student loans, cash paid out of pocket, scholarships and other funding options that students and parents have access to. Saving for college is an intelligent idea. Most individuals do not save nearly enough to pay for their college education. There are many savings programs available, including 529 plans, uniform gift to minors accounts as well as regular savings accounts.
When individuals open a student loan, they do not pay any money up front. The loan remains in dormant state until six months after the student graduates from college. Once individuals graduate, they must begin repaying their loan after the six months regardless of whether or not they have found a job. Borrowers can apply for a deferment. However, this does not have to be granted. A student loan account can be opened through the federal government or a private lender. Government loans are either subsidized or unsubsidized. Government subsidized loans have the interest paid when students are in school, while unsubsidized accounts have interest accrue while students are in school.

Baker College Online MBA Review
Amongst all the traditional online degree programs, Baker College Online should be considered one of the most successful. The college offers online degree programs from the Associate degree level to the Doctorate. Baker College has been particularly successful in the business degree arena and their Associate, Bachelor and Master degree programs have been accredited by the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE). This review covers the Baker College Online MBA program offered via distance learning via the internet.
Requirements for Online MBA Degree
Baker College's online MBA program is very similar to many other traditional and online MBA programs. Even so, one key difference is that the college operates on a quarter hour system whereas many colleges utilize the semester hour system. Baker College's online MBA requires 49 quarter hours in order to complete the degree and of these, 20 quarter hours will be in a specialization except for the accounting track that requires 53 quarter hours.
This MBA program has a core set of 9 courses and each is 4 quarter hours long except for BUS 609 Graduate Seminar which is 1 quarter hour. The other courses are: Human Resource Management, Human Behavior Management of Organizations, The Financial Environment, The Economic Environment, The Marketing Environment, Management Information Systems, Research and Statistics for Managers, Strategy in a Global Environment.
The various specializations that a student can earn at Baker College in the MBA program are: Accounting, Finance, Health Care Management, Human Resources Management, Information Management, Leadership and Marketing. Much like Kaplan University, Baker utilizes the 6 week term.
Tuition, Military Discount, Other Costs and Benefits
Tuition at Baker college compares favorably to Kaplan's. While Kaplan University's tuition is slightly less per hour than a number of other online to most online programs. The credit hour cost is 5 and for the 49 quarter credit hour program the cost of the MBA is ,905. For the 53 quarter hour Accounting MBA, the cost is ,285. The school also has a number of other fees, such as application and graduation fees, but these are very modest and should not adversely impact any student from getting their degree.
With Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) reporting that the average expected starting annual salary for new professional hires from MBA programs to be in the K range in 2006, the price of the MBA can be a good return on investment (ROI). Additionally, the U.S. Census Bureau reports that the average earnings for a person holding a graduate degree and between the ages of 45 and 54, is about ,000. It should be noted that these are averages and that major metropolitan areas the amounts are generally higher.
Baker College does not offer a military discount for any of its programs but the college does qualify for the Post 9/11 GI Bill. Distance learning students will not be entitled to the housing allowance of the Post 9/11 GI Bill because the MBA program is attended online only. For veterans using the Montgomery GI Bill or the Post 9/11 GI Bill, taking one course per six week term enables the veteran to meet the requirement for full time attendance.
Overall Assessment of Baker College Online MBA Degree
This MBA program is reasonably diverse, but the 6 week terms may not allow material to be covered in depth, much like a similar assessment of Kaplan's program. Even so, the school will appeal to working adults who become online students in order to obtain the necessary academic credentials to advance their career. In many cases, these are accomplished professionals who need a check in the box to get the next promotion, or have the desire to add something to their resume.

How Lawsuit Funding - Litigation Financing, Is No-risk Loan For Slip And Fall Litigation Plaintiffs
Slip and Falls account for more than 1 million injuries each year in the United States. Some times simple slip and fall can cause very serious injuries such as back injuries, paralysis, broken bones and head injuries. Often, slip and fall accident injuries can be permanent and irreversible, and usually require continual medical care. Costly medical treatment can leave victims and their families financially devastated.
A lawsuit loan, or litigation financing, is one good, safe and risk free option for plaintiffs involved in a slip and fall lawsuit to finance their daily needs. Legal cash advance or lawsuit funding allows them to take care of medical expenses, household bills, mortgage payments, auto payments, education expenses etc.
Most plaintiffs involved in personal injury lawsuit are ordinary people, who can barely afford the money to get their lawsuit off the ground, much less sustain it for years.
Most of them have missed work or lost their job and can no longer meet their household regular bills. Keeping up with their household payments can be a huge strain on them. Most of them are in need of medical treatments. They have to pay their mortgage or rent. Many of them may be one or two payments away from foreclosures. They need to pay children education expenses.
Deep-pocket defendants can buy time with legal ploys and delays, and manoeuver to frustrate the plaintiffs. Plaintiffs are often pressured financially, because medical bills and other expenses not to mention lost wages add up to a budget stretched beyond its limits.
What your attorney needs, in order to get you the best settlement or fairest trial, is time. Just as the defendants can buy time, so can you. Lawsuit funding or litigation financing allows you to get relief from financial pressure so you do not have to settle your case simply because you need whatever money you can get now. Lawsuit funding is often referred as lawsuit loan, lawsuit financing, legal finance, loan funding lawsuit, lawsuit cash advance, litigation financing, litigation funding, pre-settlement loan, personal injury lawsuit financing and lawsuit pre-settlement funding.
There are many advantages of lawsuit funding or litigation financing. It carries no risk to the plaintiffs. Some of these are as followings:
1. When you apply for lawsuit loan or litigation financing, there is no application fee. A good and reputed lawsuit financing company should not charge any upfront fee or any application fee, processing fee or any monthly fee.
2. No credit or bad credit is alright, to apply for lawsuit loan or litigation financing because approval of is based on the strength of your lawsuit. The lawsuit funding or lawsuit financing is not based on credit history, unless there is a pending bankruptcy.
3. No employment requirement is required to apply for a lawsuit loan or lawsuit financing.
4. Lawsuit cash advance or personal injury lawsuit financing, is not a typical kind of loan. Loans are repayable absolutely.
A loan is type of financial aid which must be repaid, with interest. But lawsuit cash advance, litigation financing or lawsuit pre-settlement funding is actually purchasing an interest in your settlement. So, if you lose your lawsuit case, you do not owe the lawsuit funding company anything.
5. When you apply for lawsuit funding or litigation financing, all information is kept confidential and only parties who know about the transaction are you the plaintiff, your attorney, and lawsuit funding company.
6. Approval is always fast for lawsuit loan or personal injury lawsuit financing. Mostly in 24 to 48 hours (some times in 4-6 hours).
7. Once you get a lawsuit cash advance, you do not pay back until you win or settle the case. Unlike a typical loan, where you have to start paying back the loan right away and continue making payments until it is paid off, no matter when you receive your settlement and even if you lose your case and receive no money.
8. Lawsuit advance funding or litigation financing is actually a non-recourse lawsuit cash advance on the future value of your case. Unlike a loan, if you lose your lawsuit case you owe nothing in return.
9. Lawsuit advance funding or lawsuit loans are no-risk and a win-win help for plaintiffs involved in lawsuits. These are available for nearly all types of civil and commercial lawsuits.
A lot of slip and fall accidents lawsuit plaintiffs are being forced to settle early for way less amount, than they deserve, because they simply can not afford to wait any longer. There is no reason for them to settle for fewer amounts, than their lawsuit case is worth.

Most of them have missed work or lost their job and can no longer meet their household regular bills. Keeping up with their household payments can be a huge strain on them. Most of them are in need of medical treatments. They have to pay their mortgage or rent. Many of them may be one or two payments away from foreclosures. They need to pay children education expenses.
Deep-pocket defendants can buy time with legal ploys and delays, and manoeuver to frustrate the plaintiffs. Plaintiffs are often pressured financially, because medical bills and other expenses not to mention lost wages add up to a budget stretched beyond its limits.
What your attorney needs, in order to get you the best settlement or fairest trial, is time. Just as the defendants can buy time, so can you. Lawsuit funding or litigation financing allows you to get relief from financial pressure so you do not have to settle your case simply because you need whatever money you can get now. Lawsuit funding is often referred as lawsuit loan, lawsuit financing, legal finance, loan funding lawsuit, lawsuit cash advance, litigation financing, litigation funding, pre-settlement loan, personal injury lawsuit financing and lawsuit pre-settlement funding.
There are many advantages of lawsuit funding or litigation financing. It carries no risk to the plaintiffs. Some of these are as followings:
1. When you apply for lawsuit loan or litigation financing, there is no application fee. A good and reputed lawsuit financing company should not charge any upfront fee or any application fee, processing fee or any monthly fee.
2. No credit or bad credit is alright, to apply for lawsuit loan or litigation financing because approval of is based on the strength of your lawsuit. The lawsuit funding or lawsuit financing is not based on credit history, unless there is a pending bankruptcy.
3. No employment requirement is required to apply for a lawsuit loan or lawsuit financing.
4. Lawsuit cash advance or personal injury lawsuit financing, is not a typical kind of loan. Loans are repayable absolutely.
A loan is type of financial aid which must be repaid, with interest. But lawsuit cash advance, litigation financing or lawsuit pre-settlement funding is actually purchasing an interest in your settlement. So, if you lose your lawsuit case, you do not owe the lawsuit funding company anything.
5. When you apply for lawsuit funding or litigation financing, all information is kept confidential and only parties who know about the transaction are you the plaintiff, your attorney, and lawsuit funding company.
6. Approval is always fast for lawsuit loan or personal injury lawsuit financing. Mostly in 24 to 48 hours (some times in 4-6 hours).
7. Once you get a lawsuit cash advance, you do not pay back until you win or settle the case. Unlike a typical loan, where you have to start paying back the loan right away and continue making payments until it is paid off, no matter when you receive your settlement and even if you lose your case and receive no money.
8. Lawsuit advance funding or litigation financing is actually a non-recourse lawsuit cash advance on the future value of your case. Unlike a loan, if you lose your lawsuit case you owe nothing in return.
9. Lawsuit advance funding or lawsuit loans are no-risk and a win-win help for plaintiffs involved in lawsuits. These are available for nearly all types of civil and commercial lawsuits.
A lot of slip and fall accidents lawsuit plaintiffs are being forced to settle early for way less amount, than they deserve, because they simply can not afford to wait any longer. There is no reason for them to settle for fewer amounts, than their lawsuit case is worth.

Credit Repair Techniques Of The Pros
Introduction
Effective credit repair requires a combination of technical and legal skill along with a healthy dose of common sense. The technical approach requires an understanding of the inner workings of the FICO credit scoring model. The legal approach uses aspects of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to gain maximum leverage when dealing with the credit bureaus and collectors. And finally, common sense brings good old fashioned debt and credit management into the picture. The technical and legal approaches are essential to any effective credit repair effort, and can produce exciting results, but without simultaneously infusing a little common sense into your program you will disappointed with your outcome. Here are our favorite credit repair techniques of the pros.
Balance Reduction
The FICO scoring model recognizes five very specific levels of credit card usage. Understanding this technical aspect of credit scoring is essential to your credit repair success. Depending on the overall content of your report, your card balances can swing your scores by as much as 150 points, enough to mean the difference between loan approval and denial, or between the lowest interest rate available and the highest. The levels of card usage recognized are 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 percent. To optimize your scores reduce your balances below 20 percent usage.
Authorized User Accounts
Authorized user accounts provide an interesting technical credit repair tool. The FICO '08 release of the Fair Isaac scoring model blocked the score benefits from purchased or brokered accounts, but specifically left the benefits from legitimate family member accounts. Here is how it works. If a willing family member or friend adds you to one of their excellent credit cards as an authorized user you will inherit the score benefit of that account. Just make sure that the donors account has a perfect payment history, a reasonably low balance relative to the limit, and has been open for at least three years.
Challenge Collections
One of the most useful legal credit repair angles involves the presence of collections on credit reports. By law, when a collector sells a debt to another collector, or sends it back to the original creditor, they are required to remove the account from your credit report entirely. This rule is most often ignored for the sad reason that there is no incentive for them to bother complying. Take the matter into your own hands and dispute all questionable collections on your credit report. You might want to consult a credit repair expert in advance to explore related issues like calculation of original default date, statute of limitation, and reporting period limits.
Validate Debt
Another handy legal credit repair tool is debt validation. Under the FDCPA, the legislation that governs the collection industry, you may request valuable documentation from a collector within 30 days of receiving a collection letter. Upon receiving a collection letter you may write to the collector and ask them for legal proof that they currently own the debt, and an objective accounting of the amount they say is due. If they cannot furnish the requested documentation they must cease reporting and all collection efforts.
Avoid Consumer Debt
Consumer debt includes store credit cards and financing typically offered by furniture and electronic stores. Avoiding this debt combines common sense with a little technical credit repair knowledge. The FICO scoring model carries a bias against this type of debt so you are at a score disadvantage right away. And although opening an account at the point of purchase may offer some convenience, this type of debt is most often carries a high interest rate and unfavorable terms. In many cases you may be offered fixed term no-payment options that can mature into stressful repayment requirements. You may be better off waiting until you can afford to pay cash.
Budget and Save
If you really want to support your credit repair effort and insure against unforeseen events that may cause you to fall behind on your payments you should build a budget. An intimate understanding of your entire financial picture is essential to long term stability. And more to the point, when you have taken the time to examine your own finances you will be able to make clear and responsible purchase decisions. Once you have built a budget you should start a saving plan. Contribute each month with the same sense of commitment and obligation that you feel towards paying your electric bill or rent. Good financial management leads to long term wealth and the credit repair insurance that will serve you for years to come.

Afforestation
Afforestation is the transformation of wasteland into the forest or the woodland. It is actually the conversion of land that has not been forested for more than the period of 50 years to forested land through planting or seeding. Afforestation is as far the best method to reduce the green house effect.
Benefits of Afforestation :
It restores ecological balance of all eco systems.
It maintains biological diversity
It act as catchments for the soil and water conservation
Plating tress can stabilize soils by increasing interception
Prevent floods and safeguard future of the tribal people.
Bring soil together and prevent soil erosion.
Afforestation act as windbreaks
Stabilized the climate and the forest products.
There is the constant need to develop massive afforestation programmes for the protection nad preservation of the forestry on the suitable land including the wasteland. A massive social forestry programme is needed to meet demands of the local people for the fodder, timber and fuel wood.
Both the governmental and Non Governmental Organizations have been propagating afforestation programmes.
Due to the industrial revolution many countries have seen the rapid decline in forests. Cutting of trees is not only a threat to the environment but also to the quality of life and to the economy also.
Reasons for the decline in forests :
Explosion of human and livestock population
Increased demand of timer, and fuel wood
Expansion of the agricultural land
Construction of the infrastructure along the mountains
National Afforestation and Eco Development Board :-
With the view to promote afforestation in the country, National Afforestation and Eco Development Board was set up in August 1992, which is responsible for promoting tree plantation, ecological restoration, and the eco development activities. The NAEB was concerned with the following functions:
- Suggests measures for the ecological restoration of degraded forest areas and adjoining lands through the systematic planning and implementation.
- To meet the fuel wood, fodder and other needs of the rural communities.
- Restore fuel wood, fodder, timber and other forest produce on the degraded forest and the adjoining lands in order to meet the demands for these items.
- Support the people,s movement for promoting afforestation and eco development with the assistance of the voluntary agencies, Panchayati Raj Institutions, non Governmental Organizations.
- Coordinate and monitor action plans for afforestation, tree planting, ecological restoration and eco development.

Suggestions to Avoid Blunders When Listing Your Home
It is important, when selling your home, to avoid some of the worst home selling mistakes a person can make. Some of these mistakes can keep your home from being sold in a reasonable amount of time. It is important to avoid having your home listing expire. Basically, your home won't sell because of doing this. It will cost you a lot of money either way so be careful.
When a listing expires before a home sells, an unfortunate stigma falls over the home. Stigmas are usually psychological in nature. It's unfortunate, but it's human nature for buyers to wonder what's wrong with your home since it didn't sell during the initial listing. To prevent this from happening with your home, there are steps you can take to safeguard against this problem. When this happens, you will have lost time and money. Before you even consider listing your home, you have to think this problem through and be aware of it. As you talk to different real estate agents, bring up this topic and see what they say. Is their information - and recommendation - viable?
Sometimes folks will hire an agent due to the hype they may offer. Sometimes agents will dangle the high asking price carrot in front of the seller. The reason for that is they will be more likely to be chosen by inexperienced sellers. When this happens, the one that will feel the negative impact is the homeowner. List the price in a range that will attract the attention of those looking to invest. A proven realtor will know all of the ins and outs of the process that selling your home will entail. Do some comparison shopping through a few realtors to get a good idea of how much you ought to ask for your home.
It's never a good idea to try to talk your agent into accepting a lower commission than what is normal in your area. The commission structure is included in the listing agreement. It's not hard to find out the normal commission structure for your area, so check it out. See how the average commissions compare to what the agent is specifying in the listing agreement. If you are comfortable with your agent, ask them what the average commission is and how it compares to what they put on the listing agreement. It's important that the commission you agree on is in line with what's normal for your market. If you offer less, you may get less from your agent. Why would your agent show your home to a prospective buyer if the commission is low, when they can show a comparable home with a higher commission structure? This is normal human nature and to be expected, so be sure to keep this fact in mind if you think about negotiating the commission lower. It is actually very easy to understand what the most important mistakes of home selling really are. It is really just a matter of making the effort to find the information. Chances are very good your real estate agent will not go over everything, either. Protecting yourself, especially when it comes time to sell your home, is something you really need to do.

How To Repay Their Debts Swiftly Using Interest Rate Arbitrage
Many financial gurus advocate paying off debt immediately so that you can get to work building a savings. This strategy sounds good on the surface, but it isn't always the appropriate financial move. Racking up debt is simple when you're young, but learning how to get out of debt quickly is normally a slow and cumbersome process. Credit cards, student loans, and even your mortgage make it tricky to build up a huge savings.
The Debt Snowball
There are many types on the "debt snowball" idea. But, they all have one thing in common. The idea depends on you starting with one debt, paying off that debt, and using the freed up capital to the next debt. As you pay off debts, the amount of "free" capital you have increases, which makes it much easier to pay off each following debt. This is the "snowball" effect. It's certainly more of a "savings snowball" than a debt snowball since its your savings that's increasing, not your debt.
For instance, lets say you have these debts:
Credit card - /month
Credit card - 0/month
Personal loan - 0/month
Mortgage - 0/month
If you pay off the first credit card, then you'll have an extra to apply to the larger credit card. As soon as that credit card is paid off, you can utilize the from the first credit card and the 0 from the second credit card to the personal loan. There's nothing inherently wrong with this approach, however it's not the only way to get out of debt fast. As a matter of fact, it might not even be the most efficient.
Arbitrage
Another option available is to learn how to get out of debt utilizing debt arbitrage. The idea behind debt arbitrage is that you can obtain more in your investments than what your debt costs you. So long as the money you free up is invested, you can overcome the interest rate you're being charged on the new consolidated loan. Remember, after you've refinanced your debt, you're still paying the normal monthly payments. If you have combined all of your debts into a new mortgage utilizing a cash-out refinance, as an example, then the loan will be paid off based on a set schedule, so don't fret about never paying off those credit cards.
At the same time, you'll be putting that freed up capital to work. If your new consolidated loan have an interest rate of 5 percent, and you are spending your savings at 6 percent, then you'll always earn a lot more than what your debts are costing you. In fact, if you do the math, you can earn up to 2 percentage points less than your loan interest rate in the event that your investment is tax-deferred and generating compounded rates of return. The tax-deferral as well as the compounding make up for the fact that you're loan interest rate surpasses your investment interest rate.
When your accumulated savings equals your remaining debt, you employ your savings to pay off the debt in full. Mainly because your regular monthly payments continue to lower your total outstanding debt with each monthly payment, and you're concurrently building a savings, you could retire your total debt load quicker than if you had used the "debt snowball". You can even choose to carry the debt for an extended period of time, and continue to build your savings As long as you're earning more on your investments compared to what you're paying in interest, you will always come out ahead.
The sole way to know if this arbitrage strategy will work for you is to contact a financial planner and create a financial plan. Run some numbers and see which technique of paying off your debt works best for you.
