While we still have big love for Utah, we're officially Pennsylvanians, at least in the eyes of the bigwigs at Temple University.
WOO HOOOOOO!!! CHA-CHING!!!!
Leah is no longer an out-of-stater forced to pay out-of-stater (sky high!) tuition. Moments after receiving the glorious residency letter, she called to tell me we now have all kinds of money. She asked what luxury items we should buy with our cash. We are now quite wealthy, you know.
I instantly said: “Cupcakes! Lots and lots of cupcakes!”
Then we broke into our embarrassing victory dances complete with laughing and cheering, she in Philly and me in DC. Once we calmed down a bit, we were able to talk rationally about her residency status.
Alas, nouveau riche we are not. Really it just means we will ultimately borrow less to pay for law school than we would have, so now our estimated debt at graduation will be slightly less than the just-passed federal bailout, er, rescue plan. I guess buying our house (the home improvement disaster that it is) was totally worth it, since owning property is one of the "factors" the university considers.
So maybe we will celebrate with some cupcakes after all, but we'll make them ourselves.

Recently an insurance company nearly wind up....
A bank is nearly bankrupt......filing chapter 11 protection.
How it affect you? Did you buy insurance? Did you buy mini note or bonds?
Who fault?
They bailout trouble finance company, but they will not bail out your credit card bills……And the bill out of company is still not enough yet…….Should they have use the bail out $$ to pump into all different industries……You got no choice, and no point pointing finger but you can prevent similar things from happen again……
The top management of the Public listed company ( belong to "public" ) salary should be tied a portion of it to the shares price ( IPO or ave 5 years ).... so when the shares price drop, it don't just penalise the investors, but those who don't take care of the company.....If this rule is pass on, without any need of further regulation, all industries ( as long as it is public listed ) will be self regulated......because the top management will be concern about their own pay check…… And they are still spend big money on hotel stay and luxury function……..
Meanwhile if company was being acquired, there will be a great movement in terms of staff……eventually staff suffer also.
Are you a partisan?
Sign a petition to your favourite president candidate, congress member, House of representative again and ask for their views to not just comment on this, and what regulations they are going to commit and implementation the regulation, I believe should vote for the one who come suggest good implementation and let’s see who back up, which don’t implement after just mentioning in the election campaign.....If you agree on my point, please share with many people as possible.... Finance and Media are the two only industries can shaken politics ( Maybe Hackers can ), please help to highlight also...
