(AP) ? Fixed mortgage rates have fallen to historic new lows for a fourth straight week and are likely to fall further.

The average on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 4.01 percent this week, Freddie Mac said Thursday. That's the lowest rate since the mortgage buyer began keeping records in 1971. The last time long-term rates were lower was in 1951, when most long-term home loans lasted just 20 or 25 years.

The average on a 15-year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, ticked down to 3.28 percent. Economists say that's the lowest rate ever for the loan.

Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. The 10-year yield has risen this week to around 2 percent. A week ago, it touched 1.74 percent ? the lowest level since the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis started keeping daily records in 1962. As recently as July, the 10-year yield exceeded 3 percent.

Rates on mortgages could fall further after the Federal Reserve announced last week that it would take further action to try to lower long-term rates.

Still, low rates have so far done little to boost home sales or refinancing. Many would-be buyers or homeowners don't have enough cash or home equity to get a new loan.

High unemployment, scant wage gains and debt loads represent a heavy burden for many people. Others can't qualify. Banks are insisting on higher credit scores and 20 percent down payments for first-time buyers.

This year is shaping up to be among the worst for sales of previously occupied homes in 14 years. Few are buying, even though the average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage has fallen to around 4 percent.

A drop in mortgage rates could provide some help to the economy if more people could refinance. When people refinance at lower rates, they pay less interest on their loans and have more money to spend.

Consider a homeowner who owes $250,000 and is paying 5.09 percent on a 30-year fixed mortgage. That was the average rate being offered in January 2010. Refinancing the loan at 4.01 percent could save him or her roughly $2,000 a year.

But many homeowners with good jobs and stable finances have already refinanced over the past year as rates have fallen. The average rate on the 30-year loan fell to new lows in November, August and again this month.

Homeowners also typically pay a few thousand dollars in closing costs when they refinance. And the low rates being offered don't include extra fees, which many borrowers must pay to get the rates. Those fees are known as points; one point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.

The average fee for the 30-year held steady at 0.7; for the 15-year, it rose to 0.7. The average fee for both the five-year and one-year adjustable-rate loans was unchanged at 0.6 point.

To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country Monday through Wednesday of each week.

The average rate on a five-year adjustable-rate mortgage was unchanged at 3.02 percent. The average for the one-year adjustable-rate mortgage ticked up to 2.83 percent.

Watchdog: Regulators bowed to banks on bailout

Federal regulators bowed to pressure from big banks seeking a quick exit from the financial bailout program and did not uniformly apply the government's own conditions set for repaying the taxpayer funds, a new watchdog report says.

The report was issued Friday by the office of Christy Romero, the acting special inspector general for the $400 billion taxpayer bailout of the financial industry and automakers.

It found that regulators, to varying degrees, "bent" to pressure from the banks in late 2009 and relaxed the requirements put in only weeks earlier.

The regulators also were motivated by a desire to cut the government's stake in the banks it had bailed out in September 2008 when the financial crisis struck, the report says.

Meanwhile, the banks wanted to get out quickly from the so-called Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, because they wanted to avoid its limits on executive compensation and the stigma associated with receiving rescue money, according to the report.

The report focused on the sales of stock to raise capital and bailout repayments by four major banks: Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup Inc., which each received $45 billion from the government; Wells Fargo & Co., which received $25 billion; and PNC Financial Services Group Inc., which got $7.6 billion.

'Inconsistent'
Because the regulators failed to enforce the policy for repayments set by the Federal Reserve, the new report says, "the process to review a TARP bank's exit proposal was ... inconsistent." That policy required banks to issue at least $1 in new common stock for every $2 in bailout money they repaid.

But the banks doggedly resisted the regulators' demands to issue common stock, seeking instead to use cheaper and "less sturdy" alternatives such as selling assets or issuing preferred stock, the report found. Issuing common stock is a better way to shore up a bank's capital base, it said.

When Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo repaid the government in December 2009, only Citigroup fully met the 1-for-2 requirement, the report said.

B of A to charge $5 a month fee for debit card use

The regulatory agencies overseeing the banks, which negotiated the repayment terms with them, were the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Treasury Department's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Treasury itself ran the bailout program, and the report said its involvement in individual banks' repayment proposals was greater than was previously known publicly.

It said Treasury encouraged the banks to speed repayment, raising the criticism that Treasury officials put that goal ahead of ensuring that the banks were strong enough to exit TARP safely.

"The result was nearly simultaneous repayments by Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citigroup in an already fragile market," the report said. The three banks issued a combined $49.1 billion in new common stock as part of their repayments.

$20 billion profit
Tim Massad, Treasury's acting assistant secretary for financial stability, said, "We're pleased that the report acknowledges that the nation's large banks are much stronger today as a result of the actions taken by Treasury."

Taxpayers will recoup the full amount invested in banks, around $245 billion, and will make an additional $20 billion or so in profit, Massad said in a telephone interview Thursday.

He said the quickened share sales were the best approach to follow.

Delaying the banks' stock offerings and repayments "carried a lot of risk with it," said Massad, because it's hard to know what the market for bank shares is going to be like later on, and holding back could dampen investor confidence.

"We pushed them to raise as much private capital as they could," he said.

Robert Stickler, a spokesman for Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America, said the bank's wanting to issue stock "all at once rather than in stages was because of market conditions."

He rejected the idea that his bank might have pressured the regulators for a quicker exit.

The bank's primary motivation was to remove the stigma of being a TARP recipient, Stickler said, and there also was concern that the restraints on executive pay were making it hard for them to keep executives.

The Federal Reserve said in written comments on the new report that, while it led the process of reviewing banks' repayment proposals, it consulted with all the agencies.

"All agreed with the final decision to allow each" bank to repay, the Fed said.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency disagreed with the report's finding that the bank review process was inconsistent.

The flexibility to "deviate somewhat" from the requirements was necessary and produced positive results, the agency said.

PNC, Wells Fargo and Citigroup said the TARP repayments allowed them to focus on their businesses and were in the best interests of taxpayers and shareholders.

Manhattan's restaurant industry shaken by money-hungry lawyers ...

September 27, 2011 | PhoebeStonbely

A recent?article?in the New York Post highlights the latest target of frivolous lawsuits in New York ? our restaurants. ?New York City restaurants have paid $30 million in settlements to a single Manhattan trial lawyer, who ?invented this business?. ?These lawsuits are devastating to NYC?s world-class restaurant industry. ? Joe Bastianich, co-owner of Eataly,?Del Posto?and Babbo says,??Money-hungry lawyers, through frivolous lawsuits, are shaking down the very foundation of Manhattan?s restaurant industry.?

The fear of getting sued is spreading across the city and restaurants upstate are no doubt the next targets. ?Many restaurant owners are choosing not to do business in New York.? ?We opened?Eataly?and put 700 jobs in the New York economy. Since then we haven?t opened another restaurant in New York, nor will we,? Bastianich told The Post. ?We opened three other restaurants, in California and Connecticut, worth 1,000 jobs that could have been here in New York. Someone in Albany needs to understand the agenda, what this is really costing the greatest restaurant city in the world.?

As with many other industries, the plaintiff-friendly laws in our state are driving businesses away. Our state needs reform to keep businesses in New York, create jobs and re-energize our economy!

Oil wavers on weak home sales, Europe debt woes (AP)

Oil hovered around $80 a barrel Monday after new home sales dropped to a six-month low, adding to worries about energy demand in the slowing economy.

The Commerce Department said that sales of new homes fell in August and are on pace for the worst year since the government began keeping records a half century ago. High unemployment and the possibility of another recession are keeping home buyers on the sidelines.

The discouraging government report came as European leaders continued to debate the best way to resolve the months-old debt crisis that could drag down the regional economy. Investors are concerned that Europe's problems could lead to another recession, which would cut demand for oil and gasoline. Demand for gasoline in the U.S. is already below year-ago levels.

Benchmark oil rose 39 cents to finish at $80.24 per barrel in New York. Crude has traded between about $79 per barrel and $90 per barrel this month.

It is "just a wild, wild ride now and people are just very nervous at this point," oil trader Stephen Schork said. "I think it's a real concern that we just very well might be in another recession."

Meanwhile Italian energy giant Eni said that Libya has resumed partial oil production for the first time since unrest broke out in February. About 31,900 barrels of oil per day are being produced. Previously Libya exported about 1.5 million barrels of oil per day, which was less than 2 percent of the world's demand. Some experts say it could take a year or more to get Libyan production back to that level.

More Libyan exports could lead to lower prices for Brent crude as more and more oil is put on the global market, PFGBest analyst Phil Flynn said. That could eventually mean a drop in the price of gas, much of which is refined from Brent. In London, Brent crude fell 3 cents to end at $103.94 per barrel on Monday.

At the pump, gas prices fell about a penny on Monday to $3.49 per gallon, according to a survey by AAA, Wright Express and the Oil Price Information Service. That's 11 cents less than a month ago and 79 cents more than a year ago.

In other energy trading, heating oil fell less than 1 cent to finish at $2.8030 per gallon, gasoline futures rose less than a penny to end at $2.5284 per gallon and natural gas rose 8.1 cents to finish the day at $3.782 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Congress dodges one crisis, now on to the next (AP)

WASHINGTON ? One crisis averted, on to the next. The day after Congress managed to avoid a government shutdown ? again ? Republicans and Democrats stared ahead Tuesday at major fights over spending that underscore a deep divide that's sure to define the fast-approaching national elections.

Monday night, lawmakers had postponed their dispute over whether billions for disaster aid must be paid for with cuts elsewhere in the budget, finessing a pact to keep the government operating.

But tea party-driven Republicans are still insisting on significant spending cuts this fall, with some arguing that a hard-fought congressional agreement this summer to fund the government at $1.043 trillion in 2012 was too generous. Democrats, many of whom complained of too many concessions and reductions in this year's showdowns, are furiously trying to protect government programs.

The next skirmish will be over how and where to spend the new year's budget, with a Nov. 18 deadline for that legislation. President Barack Obama's $447 billion jobs proposal that would cut payroll taxes and increase spending on school construction and other infrastructure has already divided the parties. But the next really big deal is the special 12-member bipartisan supercommittee and whether it can come up with a plan to slash $1.5 trillion over 10 years by Nov. 23 ? the day before Thanksgiving.

These fights will unfold against the backdrop of a feeble economy that Obama is desperate to jump-start as he pushes for a second term, and an exasperated electorate that looks at Washington and dislikes what it sees.

"The heat will be on, the heat from the American people," said former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson, who believes Americans struggling economically will be asking, "Why stretch us out like this?"

Lawmakers also will be under pressure from political factions demanding that they stand firm for party beliefs.

"You have to support getting control of excessive spending and debt," said Sal Russo, a longtime Republican operative and founder of the Tea Party Express, a well-funded wing of the populist movement. "Are you helping to solve the problem or making it worse?"

Shortly after Senate votes on Monday, Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., thanked party leaders "for helping the Democratic Party find the backbone it needed to fight and win this debate."

The disaster aid dispute that threatened to partially shut down the government this weekend was resolved relatively quickly after a standoff between Democrats and Republicans. The fight, however, was an unpleasant reminder to most Americans of the last-minute maneuvering in April to avert a shutdown and the August showdown over raising the nation's borrowing authority that left financial markets unnerved.

This time, Democrats had spent weeks demanding additional disaster aid in response to hurricanes, tornadoes and other natural disasters that had battered Americans from Vermont to Missouri. Republicans had said the additional aid had to be offset by cuts in energy-related programs that Democrats favored. The Federal Emergency Management Agency had warned that its accounts would be out of money early this week.

A solution to keep the government operating seemed uncertain last week. Then word from the Obama administration that FEMA wasn't in as dire financial straits as many feared proved to be the answer.

On Saturday, the administration told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., that FEMA could last until Thursday with the money it had. Specifically, an unknown contractor had come in under budget, freeing some $40 million, said Democratic and Republican congressional aides.

On Sunday morning, Reid reached out to House Speaker John Boehner's staff, informed them of the more promising financial outlook for FEMA and proposed two bare-bones emergency spending bills, one to keep the government operating for a week and another until Nov. 18. Boehner's office contacted Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell with the latest developments and proposal.

McConnell's office made a quick check with the Senate Republican vote counter, Jon Kyl of Arizona, on whether such a plan would fly with the GOP.

FEMA was still saying Thursday, possibly Friday, before the money ran out, but a way out had emerged. Within hours on Monday, Democrats and Republicans had agreed on an emergency spending bill to avoid a government shutdown. FEMA would get $2.65 billion in disaster relief assistance in a one-week bill, $1 billion less than approved by tea party Republicans.

Chris Krueger, a political analyst for the brokerage firm MF Global, said, "Both sides are convinced this continued threat of government shutdown benefits no incumbents."

The House, on recess this week, probably will back the one-week measure by voice vote Thursday and vote separately next week to keep the government running through Nov. 18.

"The perils of Pauline," said John Feehery, a Republican political consultant and former congressional aide. "Every new episode has a new cliffhanger."

In a letter dated Sept. 26, Jacob Lew, director of the Office of Management and Budget, wrote congressional leaders that as FEMA approached the last five days of the fiscal year this week, "it appears that weather systems forming off our shores will not significantly affect the United States. That, in combination with FEMA's rigorous cash management mechanism, means" the agency could operate for much of the week.

Congress may have a harder time weathering the storms of budget showdowns, a reality that lawmakers acknowledged.

Sen. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Senate Democrat, said he traveled through his home state of Illinois this past weekend and when Americans "see us break down into another cussing match over shutting down the government, they say `for goodness sake, grow up, group up and accept your responsibility."

McConnell, R-Ky., said the "entire fire-drill was completely unnecessary."

With some 80 percent of Americans disapproving of Congress, a remarkable number for a major government institution, outsiders see few winners.

"They don't really realize they are playing Russian roulette," said Robert E. Denton Jr., head of the communications department at Virginia Tech.

What Does Workers' Compensation ... - Insurance-Comparisons.org

What Does Workers Compensation CoverWhat is Workers? compensation?

Although the exact definite of workers? compensation varies from area to area, it is universally known as repayment for employees injured at the work site. Each state in the United States will have different rules regarding Workers? compensation, as well as countries. All Workers? compensation cases must occur during employment and usually entail a private court hearing. However, since the rules vary so much between states there can often be discrepancies between companies and employees which must be settled in court.

Workers? compensation goes back as far as 1855 in the United States. In Georgia and Alabama, workers were able to sue their employer for injury related claims because of the Employer Liability act. Since then, nearly every country has enacted some sort of Workers? compensation law. In general, Workers? compensation is actually favored by companies because it saves them from losing money to court fees and lawsuits.

How does Workers? compensation insurance work?

Workers? compensation is usually entitled to any worker that is exposed to high risk environment, especially in the United States. Typically, a company will pay monthly premiums to insurance companies as to avoid excessively and sudden loss of company funds to employee lawsuits. Employees are always informed if they are receiving Workers? compensation insurance, so it is up to the individual to find out what they are provided by their employer.

Sometimes, a compensation case can get complicated. If the incident has many witnesses, then it Workers? compensation is almost always given. However, there are many incidents in which no one is around to witness the accident. In these cases, the afflicted employee will often have to fill out forms claiming Workers? compensation and then the company can decide to either fight against the claim or settle. Claims are worked out in court if the company feels they are being cheated.

What does Workers? compensation insurance cover?

Workers? compensation differs heavily state to state and country to country. In fact, compensation can even vary depending on the insurance company providing the coverage. Typically, an employer should inform its workers of the compensation coverage. In the case that an employer does not inform the workers, it is possible to find out what is covered directly from the insurance provider.

In general, under Workers? compensation you are guaranteed to receive payment after an on the site injury regardless of who is at fault; be it third party people, co-workers, company or self-inflicted accidents. The exchange for these rights is that employees cannot sue the company in court, unless there is a discrepancy about the Workers? compensation claim. In the end, Workers? compensation actually benefits the employer because it allows them to close huge court cases before they begin at a small, consistent price.

Bla Bla ? Cellular Repayments Why SMS Short Codes Are a Need to

There is been a good deal of buzz these days about cellular payments and the subsequent killer app that will all of a sudden have Americans using their cell telephone to purchase every thing from their subsequent latte to their following Lexus. There appears to be no doubt that were properly on this path to financial mobility. The cell mobile phone has previously evolved from a standard communication software to a comprehensive life-style system integral to a persons messaging, data, and entertainment requirements. Extending the cellular telephone to act as a wallet and eventually turning it into a payment instrument is the next logical step in this evolutionary method nevertheless, how and when it gets there is still anyones guess.

Although there is certainly a good deal of debate about which cellular payment resolution will in the end be successful in the market, one particular reality is indisputable: the remedy ought to permit any cell cellphone to participate in the payment transaction. A provider that enables consumers to exchange funds using only a specific cellphone or thats limited to a certain carrier immediately excludes by itself from the huge population of users not employing that device or cell operator. That will disincentivize organization owners from accepting that particular technological innovation which, in flip, will ultimately hinder its mass adoption.

Presently, the U.S. has about 280 million mobile phones ? only 45 million of which are ?wise? ? that operate on a range of different carriers. To realize success, a cellular payment resolution should be capable to purpose on the greater part of these devices. Given that at the moment the only technological innovation which is widespread across all mobile phones is text messaging a.k.a. Small Messaging Support or SMS, the solution must use SMS on some stage. There are 3 intrinsic functions of SMS that make it a all-natural in shape for a cellular payment solution:

  1. It is a native ?application? which is by now pre-set up on basically each cell mobile phone in use right now.
  2. It can be a universal service, that means that a text message sent from a single mobile phone on one provider can be obtained on a diverse cellphone on a various carrier.
  3. Its a push technological innovation, meaning that a text message can be sent to a user without the user first contacting you. Considering that a payment solution demands some form of authorization and notification mechanism, currently being ready to ?push? messages to the payer and/or payee is completely crucial in developing a secure and sturdy service.

If a mobile payment remedy is to employ text messaging, then it should conform to the tips established by the Cellular Marketing and advertising Associations MMA and use a commercial short code. A short code is a unique phone amount that is normally five or 6 digits extended. They ended up produced to be simpler to remember than typical cellphone numbers, especially when sending and obtaining text messages to organizations. If youve got ever before texted a vote to American Idol or texted a donation to the Red Cross, the quantity to which you sent that text message was a short code.

Getting and enabling a brief code is a rigorous process that demands rigid adherence to industry greatest practices and specific certification by every single U.S. Carrier. For that reason, messages sent to and obtained from a quick code supply a measure of assurance that you are in simple fact communicating with a authentic enterprise and not a fly-by-evening operation.

Aside from compliance, nonetheless, the biggest rewards of utilizing a small code are safety, speed and volume. Since by utilizing a small code a company is primarily right connected to the carriers, it tremendously lowers the risk that a text message sent to one of its customers is intercepted or tampered with in some way. The immediate link also will increase the pace that messages are delivered to the two the company and the finish user, which offers a greater user knowledge for the consumer. Eventually, any support that uses a typical 10-digit mobile phone quantity for text messaging is going to be minimal in the amount of messages it can process at any offered time. A small code, on the other hand, makes it possible for a company to procedure probably 1000s of messages a 2nd which would permit them to service a big and growing buyer base.

In summary, a quick code is a required part of any mobile payment resolution that hopes to services the vast majority of the population. If a firm delivers a cellular payment support that makes use of text messaging but does not use a small code, the caveat emptor permit the purchaser beware.
