Post-July 1, Borrowers Consolidate Student Loans at Rates as Low as 3.62%: Finan…: Jul 14, 1:33pm 9 reviews economics, financial-planning
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/080714/0415281.html; From the page: "Borrowers holding variable-rate Stafford student loans that, prior to July 1, were carrying interest rates as high as 8.25 percent may be able to cut their repayment rate to a fixed rate as low as 3.62 percent if they choose to consolidate their student loans this year. In order to be able to consolidate their federal student loans at the lowest current rates, borrowers must meet certain criteria: They must have taken out variable-rate Stafford loans prior to July 1, 2006; they must not have federal student loans that haven't already been consolidated; and they must consolidate their Stafford loans prior to the end of the six-month grace period they're granted once they leave school." ]

http://www.truthout.org/article/oil-near-143-view-dollar-will-keep-falling; New York - Oil futures climbed to a new record near $143 a barrel Friday as the dollar weakened against the euro, confirming expectations that the falling greenback, a major factor in crude's stratospheric rise, will extend its decline and add to oil's appeal. Well, @ least Bush & Co. will all get to retire early & be set for life. Disgusting.

http://www.accountability-central.com/single-view-default/single-view-lexis-n...; From the page: "You begin by calculating your carbon footprint at www.earthlab.com/carbonprofile. It's a simple online tool that takes about three minutes. The calculators will ask you to consider several factors such as where you live, your current utility bills, how you work, how you commute and travel -- all things Bach's book shows you new ways to do. The book is organized into 50 tips of just two or three pages each with sections on how to make green choices in all areas of your life, from driving the right car to making your home energy efficient, taking green vacations, voting green and socking your money away in mutual funds that invest in companies that are involved in renewable energy or clean water and clean air. Consider this: Even if you decide to try just four tips from his book, you win and so does the Earth. Here's Bach's math: "You improve your car's fuel economy and save $884 annually. You save $129 on your energy bills by sealing the leaks in your home, and $85 more by adjusting your thermostat 3 degrees. And you start bringing your lunch to work and pocket $1,560." Not bad. Invest that in a green mutual fund (he lists several) that earns a 10% annual return, and in 30 years, you would have amassed nearly $700,000. That's the promise of Bach's book. You make a difference in the fate of the planet and build wealth at the same time."

Wal-Mart chief executive Lee Scott told the newspaper that about 1,000 Chinese companies are expected to attend the event in October. He added that Chinese government is increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of rapid industrialization. "The Chinese government has just now really got on the sustainability process as far as understanding what it is going to mean for them in the long term. And they're being really aggressive," the newspaper quoted Scott as saying."

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/business/AP-Economy.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&ore...; From the page: "WASHINGTON (AP) -- It's no longer a question of recession or not. Now it's how deep and how long. Workers' pink slips stacked ever higher in March as jittery employers slashed 80,000 jobs, the most in five years, and the national unemployment rate climbed to 5.1 percent. Job losses are nearing the staggering level of a quarter-million this year in just three months. For the third month in a row total U.S. employment rolls shrank -- often a telltale sign that the economy has jolted dangerously into reverse."
