Credit card industry tries to hook young people

All major banking institutions pay big money to colleges and universities for on-campus recruiting rights, offering students low initial interest rates and/or other sweetheart deals if they accept a credit card. The rest of us get solicitations through our phone or the mails.Seductive sales campaigns focus on high school graduates and for all kinds of items that TV, movies or society has told them they want, need, should have because they deserve it and others have, so why don't they? Car dealers offer "one-time sales events" to first-time wage earners, high-end electronic stores give 90-day-same-as-cash deals and guarantee that no one will be turned down, furniture showrooms offer newlyweds "no payments 'til next year," cell phones, Internet providers, cable companies, satellite dish outfits all make it sound as if you can't have a decent life without their help.All this has given birth to an additional parasite - the debt-consolidation, paycheck-cashing, payday-loan, instant-refinancing-of-your-car (and you get to keep your car - 'til they come to take it away) industry.Public schools teach kids how to drive, play sports, fit a condom, take birth control pills, find an abortionist or fill out a job application at McDonald's.

Fallout for Sabres, Wild, Sens; Also: the best trades

Simon is a complex character, but also the kind of player and person you root for in that you hope he can solve his issues because he is genuinely liked by teammates and has a caring for and commitment to them. But his last two over- the-top actions had him cross-checking Ryan Hollweg in the face with a two-handed swing that A Rod would be proud to call his own and then skate-stomping Jarkko Ruutu in an act that could have earned him a role in Sweeny Todd, the Butcher of Fleet Street.

Simon says he's ready to move past all that. Commissioner Gary Bettman has stated that he'll be watching with interest. How much interest is debatable as Bettman has never permanently barred a player from the game -- not even Bryan Marchment. who racked up 13 suspensions in a career best known for knee on knee hits.

TheStreet.com on Path to More Ads, Less Subs

TheStreet.com is carrying through with its mission to extend coverage beyond dry investment-related content to attract broader audiences and more non-financial ad dollars. The company reported a 134 percent jump in full year 2007 revenue from non-financial advertising over 2006. And a recent acquisition of Promotions.com, in addition to the launch of a new mainstream consumer-aimed site, Mainstreet.com, promises to spur more of the same.

Ad dollars from non-financial advertisers made up 44 percent of the publisher's ad revenue in '07, up from 27 percent in '06. "I expect that non-financial advertising will comprise 50 percent of total advertising revenue in 2008," said Tom Clarke, CEO and Chairman of TheStreet.com during today's earnings call with investors. Clarke later mentioned that the firm's ability to attract advertisers outside of the endemic financial vertical has been a concern of company observers in the past.

Tax panel rejects proposal to revive school voucher program

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A proposal designed to restore an unconstitutional school voucher program has been rejected by a state panel. But it's a thumbs up for a plan that would lift a constitutional ban on state aid to religious schools.

The Taxation and Budget Reform Commission can put state constitutional amendments on the ballot. But it decided today against the voucher proposal that also was intended to help create more programs to send students to private schools at public expense, and protect existing ones against court challenges.

The commission that meets every 20 years has until May 8 to put amendments on the ballot.

A proposal that moved a step closer to the ballot would make exceptions to Florida's ban on direct and indirect aid to religious organizations.

Brandy's mom: Kim Kardashian, siblings had chance to avoid litigation

The mother and manager of former America's Got Talent judge Brandy Norwood filed a lawsuit on Monday alleging Kardashian and three of her siblings charged $120,636 worth of purchases to her credit card without her permission. Kim and her sister Khloe had previously worked for Brandy, while Kim also dated Sonja's son William "Ray J" Norwood Jr.. "I did not want to commence litigation against the Kardashian family without conducting an exhaustive investigation into the charges, and discussing all options, including criminal prosecution, with my family," Sonja told OK! Weekly in a statement released Tuesday. "After Ray-J and Brandy urged me not to file criminal charges because of their prior friendship, I decided to afford the Kardashians an opportunity to resolve this matter without a lawsuit." Sonja told OK! that once "the fraudulent charges" were brought to the Kardashian's attention, "they apologized profusely." "[They] advised us, through their attorneys, that they would pay the debt in full," Sonja told OK!. "However, they have since reneged on that promise." According to the lawsuit, Kim used Sonja's American Express credit card to make the unauthorized purchases when she was employed as Brandy's stylist in 2006 and 2007. The lawsuit also accuses Kim of sharing Norwood's credit card information with siblings Kourtney, Robert Jr.
