got debt? know your rights!




Credit problems? Here are four credit fairness laws you should know about:

Jennifer Openshaw, Marketwatch

. . . While most credit problems are fixed by getting spending habits under control and making required payments, creditors do make mistakes, and some engage in aggressive practices. At times, bringing in the law makes sense. You'll know what questions to ask and how to communicate with creditors. . .

TILA -- Truth in Lending Act
FCBA - Fair Credit Billing Act

Failing Your Way to Success



Billionaire Sir James Dyson on failing your way to success, at Fast Company.

Today, Dyson makes the best-selling vacuum cleaner by revenue in the United States and is one of the richest blokes in Britain. But it took him 15 years and nearly his entire savings to develop his bagless, transparent creation. His latest innovation, a hand dryer that uses neither heat nor evaporation, took only three years, but Dyson says his grinding, error-filled approach hasn't changed.

"We're taught to do things the right way. But if you want to discover something that other people haven't, you need to do things the wrong way."

green revolution


Newsweek's Jonathan Alter writes, "Only five people in history have ever won the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal: Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Elie Wiesel ... and Norman Borlaug."

Unfortunately, these days we all know more than we ever needed to know about Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, and the man who saved a billion people gets minimal coverage.

Dr. Borlaug was honored in Washington DC last week, but, Alter laments, "For Borlaug, still vital at 93, to win more notice, he would have to make his next trip to Africa in the company of Angelina Jolie."
