The city of Hartford, in a settlement that still must be approved by a federal judge, is agreeing to work with the owners of the vehicles before having their cars towed, which had required the owner

By Chuck Doud The Madera Tribune The Cash for Clunkers program is ending, and there is no clear agreement on whether it was a success or failure. It might depend on whether you are an auto dealer still owed money by the government, or whether you are a new-car owner whose purchase was made possible by the clunkers program. And, of course, you have to look at the program not only as economic stimulus, but also as an experiment in environmental improvement. Success or failure, though, it

I still feel compelled to write about the Economic condition as it is one that has affected us all. If you are fortunate enough to avoid the catastrophes that have befallen many than rejoice but know on some level you will pay the price in reduced wages and benefits over the long haul, longer hours and truly less security in knowing where you stand and your company does. This morning’s NY Times were filled with two tales from the opposite end of the spectrum as well as note of a casualty of it

I had many topics I was considering writing about today, and one theme that was very strong in the past few days reading that I’ve done was that the big are getting better, stronger, more politically powerful, more economically viable.

One of the more frequent means by which customers are defrauded is by cheque interception. On average, a cheque is handled by up to 20 people from the time you make it out to the time your branch pays it. This means that there are numerous opportunities for the cheque to be intercepted. Most commonly this happens when cheques are posted. Another common way in which customers are defrauded is in accepting a cheque or bank deposit when selling goods. Often the cheque or the deposit turns out to
