In a note to the company's beleaguered staffers posted on the Trib Co. website, Zell wrote he's looking to "maximize the value" of the corporation's real estate, which translates iDaily Links: Mileage Reimbursement Edition
Charlie from PearBudget dropped a line to point out that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service is increasing the mileage reimbursement mid-year. The rate is 50.5 cents per mile right now, but will see a 16% jump next week. Here’s the official IRS notice: The rate will increase to 58.5 cents a mile for all business miles driven from July 1, 2008, through Dec. 31, 2008. This is an increase of eight (8) cents from the 50.5 cent rate in effect for the first six months of 2008, as set forth in Rev. PrHartford Courant Will Reduce News Staff By 53

Someone just passed a memo to me, no more than an hour old, from the publisher of the Hartford Courant to his staff. News pages will go from 273 to 206 per week. Subscribers will only be getting 75% of what they get now in quantity. The newsroom will go from 232 to 175. The reduction there is also to 75% of current levels. There will be voluntary buyouts and forced layoffs. All this comes on the heels of the heavily leveraged purchase of the Tribune Corporation, the Courant's owner, by Sam ZelZimbabwe at War

“Throw money at it” seems to be the universal thinking of Yemen’s donors who are increasingly nervous about the deteriorating situation. And if the reform programs worked, it would be great. But statistically, most donor funds (aid and loans) are stolen, wasted or unspent. USAID In 2005, $14.8 million was budgeted for aid to Yemen. In 2006, USAID funding fell to $9 million after Yemen lost its standing as an applicant for Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) aid. This took place because of repFinancial Aid
In response to a question on financial aid, Morty told a story about an alum who is a college professor. Her son had been accepted by Williams and by an Ivy.

For quite a while now, we have been doing great with reducing our debt. There would be times where I’d look at our finances and see how much we can squeeze out to put towards our debt (or savings). Usually, there was some breathing room. That’s not the case right now. I feel a little helpless at the moment, and I haven’t felt like this in quite a while. I look at our Quicken file and I can’t do anything. Our account is dangerously close to being in the red at the end of this month. Right now IPatient-Centered Healthcare Reform
Americans spend more on healthcare than any other industrialized nation. With the election looming closer, it’s almost impossible to pay attention to current events without hearing it every single minute of every single day.

If our outcomes are worse, look to the latter. If our cosDesperately seeking blame for oil prices an a’political look at a universal problem

Following recent announcements from the RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors), debt management company Gregory Pennington predicts that the collapse in the number of housing transactions could lead to greater demand for professional debt solutions, including debt management.
