Obama Small Business Loan Program - An Update on the Rescue Plan - Part 2
In a previous article, mention was made of the new Obama Administration's loan initiative. Imagine that: someone finally realizing that small businesses are the backbone of our economy. It will be creating a Small Business Lending Fund with the $30 billion just received from the large banks under TARP. These monies would be loaned to community banks who are seriously interested in making small business loans. It sounds like someone is finally listening to the plight suffered by our small businesses. Here are more details.
1. Banks with less than 1 billion in assets would be eligible to receive capital investments up to 5% of their risk waited assets. Banks with between 1 and 10 billion in assets would be eligible to receive up to 3% of risk waited assets. TRANSLATION: "risk waited assets" are outstanding loans.
2. The dividend rate, or the interest rate being charged to the banks for receipt of the Federal funds, it would begin at 5%, but with reductions as low as 1% if the bank shows an increase in small business lending relative to a baseline set in 2009. Banks would receive a 1% decrease in their dividend rate for every 2.5% increase in lending TRANSLATION: the more they lend the cheaper it is to receive funds.
You do not have to have a Ph.D. in economics to realize giving money away with no strings attached will not encourage lending. The flood gates were opened in the Fall of 2008 for this purpose, but nothing happened. The banks sat on the Federal bailout monies and nothing trickled down. Washington has finally gotten smarter. First, it will only give money to banks who are serious about lending, none other than smaller community banks. Second, it is dangling a sweet carrot, namely the more you loan the less interest paid to the government. Using the good ol' fashioned desire to make a profit.
Only time will tell if this program is successful. But while we wait as the economy struggles, there are lenders who are actually serious about lending, but have not received bailout monies. They use a program called SBA Community Express, which makes small cash flow loans of between $5,000 and $25,000 at the low unsecured interest rate of 7.75%. At least someone is getting the message.

How to Make Gold in WoW by Farming & Selling Meat
Food can be incredibly important in World of Warcraft. With the immediate benefits to health that raw food provides, and the bonuses that are made possible with the cooking skill, meat is an always in demand item. This means that you can start farming decent chunks of gold right away by collecting and selling meat. Even if you decide to try cooking the meat before you sell it for the skill points, you can probably still manage to get something for it in the auction house.
With that in mind, the question becomes what should you hunt in order to find meat? Well, at the earliest levels of the game, boar and lynx meat are both great places to start. You might only get a gold per stack, but if you come back with 10 stacks of boar meat in a few hours, you could sell them to net yourself 10 gold, and this is before even breaking level 10.
Eventually you'll have to move up from these simple creatures, but do not worry. There are a plethora of animals that can be hunted for meat as you progress the level ladder. After boars there are wolves, clams, basilisks and hosts more. In short, any "beast" class mob in the game can be a source for raw meat, which is valuable for either cooking or selling in the auction house to people looking for meats to practice cooking with.
With the opening of Northrend in the WotLK expansion, new animals like wooly rhinos and mammoths have made meat selling a viable source of income all the way up to and through level 80. As long as cooking remains as popular as it is, and it will, there will always be a market for raw meat in the auction house. Choose skinning as your gathering profession, and you can hunt beasts for meat and skins while questing or adventuring, constantly building up your gold supply so you can afford that epic mount at your first chance to get it.
