...Entering the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Saturday night matchup with the Boston Celtics, the Cavs could have viewed the contest as a legitimate test during the last stretch of the NBA season. Boston arrived in Cleveland with a 38-25 record, good for third-best in the Eastern Conference. A test was exactly what the Cavaliers got. The Celtics started the game on fire, posting a double-digit lead less than seven minutes into the contest. However, Cleveland battled back and eventually pulled away from the scrappy Celtics for a 120-103 victory in Quicken Loans Arena. With the win, Cleveland pushed its record to 33-3 when scoring at least 100 points this season, while also taking the season series with Boston 2-1. “I just told us we need to be more physical on both ends,” Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue said. “I don’t think to start the game, we didn’t come out aggressive on the defensive end, and we didn’t come out aggressive offensively.

...David Graeber likes to say that he had three goals for the year: promote his book, learn to drive, and launch a worldwide revolution. The first is going well, the second has proven challenging, and the third is looking up. Graeber is a 50-year-old anthropologist—among the brightest, some argue, of his generation—who made his name with innovative theories on exchange and value, exploring phenomena such as Iroquois wampum and the Kwakiutl potlatch. An American, he teaches at Goldsmiths, University of London. He’s also an anarchist and radical organizer, a veteran of many of the major left-wing demonstrations of the past decade: Quebec City and Genoa, the Republican National Convention protests in Philadelphia and New York, the World Economic Forum in New York in 2002, the London tuition protests earlier this year. This summer, Graeber was a key member of a small band of activists who quietly planned, then noisily carried out, the occupation of Lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park, providing the focal point for what has grown into an amorphous global movement known as Occupy Wall Street. It would be wrong to call Graeber a leader of the protesters, since their insistently nonhierarchical philosophy makes such a concept heretical. Nor is he a spokesman, since they have refused thus far to outline specific demands. Even in Zuccotti Park, his name isn’t widely known. But he has been one of the group’s most articulate voices, able to frame the movement’s welter of hopes and grievances...

...CHAPTER-1 1.1 Introduction: Financial institutions are investment intermediaries linking the savers and users of fund. These intermediaries are interposed between the ultimate borrowers and lenders permitting them efficient transfer of funds. Individuals having surplus funds can lend them for reasonable return to entrepreneurs who need funds to take the advantage of economically and financially viable investment opportunities. The existence of financial institutions facilitates such exchange of resources. As a result, both the borrowers and lenders are better off than they would have been without financial institutions and market intermediaries. Thus, these financial institutions, such as banks, have a positive role in financing and investment which is a multidimensional process involving the complexity of many interrelated and interdependent factors of diversified nature. It is difficult to assess the contribution of each factor independently. The key to successful banking lays in the ability of balance many activities simultaneously. The bank must maintain a healthy growth rate, while at the same time it must take action to minimize the risks it faces. The bank must also maintain enough cash on hand to meet obligations. All of these are related to sound performance of a bank. Evaluating Bank Performance, examines the basic risk and return features of commercial banks. The financial performance evaluation demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of bank performance...

...of assets to the owner as a form of compensation for the use of the assets. There are different types of interests, including investment interest, qualified residence interest, student loan interest, and personal interest, which are either deductible or nondeductible. Personal interests are interests on car loans, credit cards, loans for appliances and furniture and interest on loans made by one person to another. Personal interest is nondeductible. If interest is paid on a qualified student loan, taxpayers may be able to deduct the interest as deduction for AGI. Generally, the allowable amount for student loan is lesser of $2,500 or the amount of interest taxpayer actually paid. Investment interest is interest paid on money borrowed to purchase or hold investment property. It is tax deductible on income tax return up to the amount of the net investment income. However, if the interest is incurred to produce tax exempt income, it cannot be deducted. Investment interest is not any qualified home mortgage interest or any interest taken into account in computing income or loss from a passive activity. The qualified residence interest is interest taxpayer pays on a loan secured by one’s main home or a second home. The loan may be a mortgage to buy primary home, a second mortgage, a home equity loan, or line of credit. The main home is where taxpayer lives most of the time.

...ASC Financing and Loans Trends and Challenges: Q&A With Anthony Mai of Sun Healthcare Finance By Rob Kurtz April 09, 2010 Anthony Mai is senior vice president of Sun Healthcare Finance, which offers a full financing solutions and related advisory services to companies across the healthcare industry, including ASCs. Q: What are some of the trends you are seeing in the types of projects ASCs are seeking loans for? What types of loans are they receiving? Anthony Mai: I am seeing still a lot of request for start-up financing. I am also seeing request for acquisition financing in which a hospital sells its ASC to a newly formed LLC consisting of the hospital and physicians. The loans that they usually receive are full payout loans with terms ranging from 5-7 percent. Q: What is the critical information ASCs need to present to banks to ensure the best loan possible? AM: If the bank really understands ASCs, the most important piece of information is the physician production. What I mean is the specialty, number of cases they intend to bring to the center, the reimbursement for those cases. Second would be the proforma, which would spell out the expenses and expected profit (or loss) in the first year. Third would be the financial condition of the physicians in the group Q: After an ASC has identified the bank it wants to secure the loan from, what should be the first few steps to start and move the process along effectively? AM: The more complete package you can give them, the easier...

...Case study Bangladesh: Financial Linkages in Bangladesh Abdul Awal, Director, CDF Abstract: Microfinance in Bangladesh has almost reached the stage of a matured market. However, there are still substantial segments of potential clientele who are not serviced by any microfinance organization (MFI). Inadequate finance is one of the most important reasons MFIs have not reach these clients. Fund shortage is more prevalent among the smaller MFIs. Moreover, due to the scaling up of microenterprises of the existing clients, they are requiring larger loan amounts. On the other hand, though the formal financial organizations are burdened with significant amounts of excess liquidity, they are not in a position to directly provide services to microcredit clients - it is not viable. Even funding operations of smaller MFIs directly, are out of their reach. In such a situation, an effective linkage between the MFIs with financial constraint and banks with excess liquidity is a simple but highly effective solution. Introduction Poverty has always been on the development agenda in Bangladesh. In the history of this country, poverty has been rampant and presently Bangladesh is third in terms of number of poor following India and China. It is a densely populated country of only 150,000 square kilometers and a population of around 140 million. The country consists mainly of a flat delta plain. In addition to its very high population density, the country has a limited natural resource base and is...

...When you look at the everyday spending on houses, cars or gaining a loan from your favorite bank, people will start to become familiar with the term interest rate. A Interest Rate is charged or paid for the use of money. An interest rate is often expressed as an annual percentage of the principal. It is calculated by dividing the amount of interest by the amount of principal. Interest rates often change as a result of inflation and Federal Reserve Board policies. For example, if a lender (such as a bank) charges a customer $90 in a year on a loan of $1000, then the interest rate would be 90/1000 or 9%. From a consumer's perspective, the interest rate is expressed and when the interested is earned, for example, from a savings account or a certificate of deposit. When the interest is paid, for example, for a credit card, a mortgage, or a loan, the interest rate is expressed as annual percentage rates. Interest rates are the price for borrowing money. Interest rates move up and down, reflecting many factors. The most important among these is the supply of funds, available for loans from lenders, and the demand, from borrowers. For example, take the mortgage market. In a period when many people are borrowing money to buy houses, banks and trust companies need to have the funds available to lend. They can get these from their own depositors. If the demand for borrowing is higher than the funds they have available, they can raise their rates or borrow money from other people...

While the primary function of banks is to lend funds as loans to various sectors such as agriculture, industry, personal loans, housing loans etc., in recent times the banks have become very cautious in extending loans, this is due to mounting nonperforming assets (NPAs). Therefore, an NPA account not only reduces profitability of banks by provisioning in the profit and loss account, but their carrying cost is also increased which results in excess & avoidable management attention. Apart from this, a high level of NPA also puts strain on a banks net worth because banks are under pressure to maintain a desired level of Capital Adequacy and in the absence of comfortable profit level, banks eventually look towards their internal financial strength to fulfill the norms thereby slowly eroding the net worth. Considering all the above facts banking industry has to give more importance to...
