The combination of lifestyle adjustments and financial freedom has caused students to take a less conservative view of credit card spending. The concept of “buy now, pay later” has in recent years gained popularity and accessibility to college students."

"KINGSTON - Above and beyond the roughly $80 million price tag for the new Ulster County Law Enforcement Center, more than $2 million in additional costs attributed to construction delays are part of the tentative 2005 county budget released last week by the County Administrator's Office.
The Albert Street project, initially forecast to cost $71.8 million, is now about 14 months behind schedule.
The largest fiscal increase tied to the construction delay is the cost of boarding out inmates from the current - and overcrowded - county jail on Golden Hill Drive."

Maple Ridge News News Story
From: NewsTrove.com
"By Phil Melnychuk
Staff Reporter
Maple Ridge became just like another homeowner in October, taking on a mortgage and paying down debt.
Following the public's approval over the summer to borrow $49.1 million, the district dotted the i's and crossed the t's Oct. 14 and formally took ownership of the town centre buildings.
It marks the final step in the agonizing renegotiation and purchase of the municipal tower, the Arts Centre and Theatre, and leisure centre, from Voth Bros. Developments, following a failed public-private lease-to-purchase arrangement.

Douglas County News-Press
From: NewsTrove.com
"That's the advice of some money managers who see opportunities galore in companies with market values -- share price times shares outstanding -- of $3 billion or less.
And it would help to think Georgia, which has oodles of small-cap stocks -- about 90 percent of all Georgia-based public companies.
Eight small-cap companies in the Bloomberg News index of 180 Georgia stocks have outperformed the state's big-caps with five straight quarters of rising share prices. That includes the 2004 fourth quarter through Friday's close.
"Small companies grow more rapidly than big companies," said Atlanta stock analyst Stephanie Haggerty."

U.S. chicken Industry Boosting Production
From: NewsTrove.com
"After two years of slow growth in the U.S. chicken industry, low feed costs and strong consumer demand are prompting producers to increase flocks by about 4 percent from a year ago. Industry experts predict more growth next year.
This should be good news for poultry-loving consumers. But opinions are mixed on whether this will hurt or help chicken companies like Tyson Foods Inc. and Pilgrim's Pride Inc.
