...through a broker Those middlemen typically take an up-front commission--something like 5% of the money you invest. Over 10 years, that $3,000-a-year investment thus becomes $42,133--or $2,218 less. If the advice you get is worth that price, great. If not, consider a plan sold directly to investors. Kerry O'Boyle, an analyst at investment tracker Morningstar Inc., recommends Alaska's T. Rowe Price College Savings Plan and the College Savings Plan of Nebraska. (Just be aware that if you buy an out-of-state plan, you may be giving up state...
...with unlimited access to dining services, yet the UC survey also reported that almost 90 percent of students miss dinner at least once a week because of timing. Students’ strenuous class and extracurricular schedules should not inhibit them from receiving the full benefits of their $4,430-a-year meal plan. Consequently, students are often forced to spend their own limited funds on food in the Square, either because they are unable to eat before 7:15 p.m. or because they (the 97 percent of the student body that is normally awake past midnight) need additional calories...
...Nagin's own path to power was a New Orleans anomaly. Raised in a poor section of the city, he went to college on a baseball scholarship, got an MBA and rose to be a $400,000-a-year vice president at the cable giant Cox Communications.

This Is It! is the year-old brainchild of Irene Trammell, 39, an $80,000-a-year software saleswoman who walked into a loud, flashy gym one day and heard a voice telling her to start her own. She has marketed heavily to Christians with listings in the Shepherd's Guide and ads on a local Christian radio station. Gym membership has grown to 221, with each person paying $29 to $49 a month. While most members are Christian, Trammell insists her doors are open to those of other faiths--or no faith. She does, however, reserve the right...
...Kathy Davidson's experience is any measure, there is a question whether plant security forces could even beat the DBT. Until May, Davidson was the chief guard trainer at Pilgrim Nuclear Station, south of Boston. The 16-year employee says she was fired from her $75,000-a-year job for complaining about poor security at the plant. Wackenhut Corp., the giant security company that employed her, says she was terminated for failing to improve security. "Security at the plant is pathetic," says Davidson. "It's just too confusing." Because there were too few guards, she says, each...
