Q2 Fiscal 2012 Results

"We expect the Nokia patents to drive revenue growth for MOSAID and believe the acquisition affirms our position as one of the world's premiere licensing organizations.

Developer David Walters' move into personal bankruptcy last week has already set off a dispute with a bank over ownership of his Pleasant Hill residence, court records show.

Walters filed last week for liquidation of his debts under Chapter 7 of the federal bankruptcy code, listing his liabilities at up to $50 million and his assets at less than $500,000.

Walters joins a group of about half dozen Des Moines-area commercial and residential developers to file for bankruptcy since the meltdown of real estate values in 2009. The group includes Joel Goodman, Randal Walters, John Kline, executives for Regency Homes and, most recently, Jon Garnaas, owner for Ladco Development Inc.

Walters, 63, didn't file detailed schedules of his debts, but listed nearly 50 creditors, mostly lending institutions. But court documents filed this week by Walters' lawyer, Jerrold Wanek, indicate that he intends to claim his home in Pleasant Hill as his homestead, making it exempt from bankruptcy proceedings.

But that filing prompted a quick response from attorneys for Bank of the West, who claimed in court documents that Walters' filing for bankruptcy was timed to keep the bank from obtaining an order this week in a separate lawsuit that likely would foreclose on the property for the bank.

This year, the national debt topped $15 trillion, with another$1.3 trillion in federal deficit spending projected for next year.On the campaign trail, Republican candidates have spoken of thedebt as a giant bogeyman threatening to crush the American economyand Americans' way of life.

The national debt has risen to the same level as the grossdomestic product for the first time since World War II, when debtgrew to 120 percent of the GDP.

Candidates offer a mix of spending cuts, constitutionalamendments and institutional cuts to help make up the deficit. Noneof the candidates favors more stimulus spending to spark growth inthe economy.

Their differences are often subtle in seeking to rein ingovernment spending and erase the deficit.本文出自 Mr.J ....

(Crain's) - The parent of First American Bank has won approval from regulators to repay a portion of its federal bailout funds, making it the first privately held lender in the Chicago area to redeem preferred shares sold to the Treasury Department under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

Elk Grove Village-based First American Bank Corp. on Wednesday will redeem $15 million of the $50 million in TARP shares held by the Treasury, CEO Thomas Wells said Friday.

The repayment was made possible after First American raised $26 million in fresh equity from existing shareholders over the summer, Mr. Wells said.

With $2.8 billion in assets, First American is the ninth-largest bank holding company in the Chicago area and the second-largest privately held one, behind Metropolitan Bank Group Inc. First American has 48 branches spread mainly throughout the suburbs, with eight in the city.

While a few of the biggest banks here like Northern Trust Corp., Lake Forest-based Wintrust Financial Corp. and Itasca-based First Midwest Bancorp Inc. have repaid their bailout funds, the Treasury still holds nearly $1 billion collectively in TARP shares of 17 area banks. The banks' painfully slow recovery from the recession has made it difficult for many of them to exit the program, created during the height of the financial crisis in 2008.

When Sue Sradeja's husband, Art, became ill this year, taking care of him became close to a full-time job for her.

The retired bank employee became her husband's main caregiver after he had unexpected surgery and retired on disability. She had to change his dressings twice a day.

"If I had worked at the bank I wouldn't have been able to do it," she said. "They would have never given me the time. No place would.

"I had to take him to the hospital for an IV for 28 days straight. His recovery was dependent on me being able to do these things for him."

Sradeja was able to take care of her husband, and she was able to work full-time as an Avon representative during his recovery.

As you know, sometimes recovering rent that you are owed can be a difficult and time-consuming process. There are an exemplary number of laws regarding debt collection, and they can be difficult if not impossible to navigate without professional assistance. In cases like this, what you need is a certified Bailiff which can assist you in collecting all of your past due rent and fees. When you opt for a bailiff to collect your outstanding arrears, you can find companies that are available that will do this free of charge to you. The reason for this is because your tenant pays for bailiff services, after the process of levying distress has happened. You do not have to worry about incurring any costly legal fees for getting solicitor advice or waiting an exorbitant amount of time via a court process. Instead, when you choose to use a bailiff you can receive professional service that will allow you to recover the money that you are owed within 24 hours of collection.

When you hire a bailiff, you are assured of your tenant receiving warrants within 24 hours, often on the very same day. The best bailiff collection companies understand that you have already waited too long for your money, so they will do everything they can under the law to collect the money that you are owed and to submit it to you immediately via your preferred payment method. In choosing a bailiff, you will want a company that understands the laws, as well as exemplary skill in dealing with your tenants in order to recover the arrears that you are owed. In so doing, they will also keep you in the most positive view they are able, to ensure that your relationship with your tenants remains intact.

Because of the extensive experience of many different certified bailiff companies, you can use a network of certified bailiffs that have been placed throughout England and Wales which can offer national coverage to anyone virtually anywhere in the UK. Once you have requested the services of a bailiff, they will attend to your premises within 24 hours of their receipt of the warrant, regardless of the location. Certified bailiffs understand this relationship must continue after they are involved with you and your tenant, so they do everything they can to balance both the legal powers that they have as well as effective negotiation tactics in order to get you the monies that you are owed. In every case, they will do everything they can to be discreet, tactful but tenacious as well to ensure that there that collection enforcement service is proven effective, but is sensitive. It is through no fault of your own that your tenant has failed to pay the money that they owe you, but that does not mean that the relationship has to end. When you hire a professional and experienced bailiff, you can get the money that you are owed in a timely and efficient manner, all while maintaining the landlord/tenant relationship.本文出自 Mr.J ....

At times when fast cash is a must, personal loans with no credit check provide a viable alternative for those with bad credit. Also known as payday advance loans, this lending option will give you a cash infusion for as many as 30 days and can carry low rates from some internet lenders. These loans come in values as low as $100 and as high as $1,000. This article will provide you a quick overview of this lending option and some tips to finding the best lender online.

What Is a Payday Advance?

For people with bad credit, payday advance loans are a great alternative to high interest credit cards for small, short term loans. Generally, these loans are given for a short term, hence the term "payday advance," since they are meant to act as an advance of your paycheck for those times when you are short on cash. Payday loans will need to be repaid by the next payday or two, so the carry a term of 14 to 30 days.

These loans are a great option for those with bad credit since they are granted based on income rather than on credit score. Oftentimes, payday advance loans will not even require a credit check to be performed and may not even be reported to the three credit agencies. Therefore, they will not negatively impact your credit report in the future.

Many of us have dreamed of winning a lottery. What if someone helps you materialize your dream? The US government gives away free money to its citizens to help them meet their financial needs, in the form of government grants. Winning government grants is no lesser than winning a lottery. You can ease off your financial worries by applying and winning government grants. The various types of grants available are: free personal grants, business grants, first time home buyer grants, home improvement grants, Education grants, Pell grants, Stafford loans, minority grants, etc.

You can improve your standard of living for free by availing home improvement grants. The current economic conditions force several people to live in homes which they would have abandoned ages ago, provided they had money. Tight financial situations make home improvement projectsvery difficult. So, if your home needs repair, you can use the free money which US government provides in funding. The money given through home improvement grants such as Federal home improvement grants is gifted to the citizens and does not need to be repaid. If you wish to repair damage caused by a natural disaster or repair pipes, roof or stairs, or modernize your home, you can use these grants. Single-parent homes, single member households, minorities, senior citizens, people with disabilities and anyone whose house needs repairs can apply for these grants.

You can alleviate your financial burden by applying for personal grants. Personal grants cater to financial needs such as paying rent and utility bills, buying groceries and clothing, paying medical bills, insurance and assistance and any other personal legitimate financial need. You can qualify for child care grants if you have a low or moderate income. If you want to spend a safe and warm winter in your home but are unable to pay for the electricity bills, you can avail utility bills assistance programs. These measures are taken by the government to ensure the safety and sanity of its citizens during the cold months.

There are numerous grants available for minorities too. A minority need not necessarily mean belonging to a minority community but also refers tophysically or mentally challenged individuals, low income individuals, homosexuals, bisexuals, transgendered, etc.

Billions of dollars are available in funding for all the different types of financial needs. If you genuinely need financial assistance, you can certainly seek it by applying for government grants. To win a grant, you need to convince the grantor in a unique way.本文出自 Mr.J ....

Dear New Frugal You ,
I'm planning a wedding for early next year. We're deeply in love, but I have a problem: I have a good credit score (over 750) and my boyfriend does not. It's not that he's a bad person. He's just fallen behind in a few bills. What should I do? When we get married, would I be responsible for any of his debts? And what about my credit score? When we get married, do our credit scores get married, too? I love this man, but I also love my good credit! -- Engaged But Concerned

Dear Concerned,
You're absolutely right to guard your credit score carefully. Not only can it affect how much you pay to borrow money, but it can also affect your ability to get jobs and apartments, and how much you pay for auto insurance. The trend to use your score for more things will likely continue. So maintaining a good credit score is important for all of us.

Let's start at the beginning. You will not automatically marry your Intended's credit score. The reason is simple, but important: You cannot be held responsible for any debts that you did not incur or agree to be responsible for.
