Are You Contemplating a Career
Change?
Earlier this month, the Woodrow Wilson National
Fellowship Foundation announced the recipients of its first ever
Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowships. The 59 new Fellows begin
work this summer on master's degrees to prepare for math and science
teaching positions in the Indiana's high-need urban and rural
schools. AND, they are currently seeking candidates for
the next class of fellows. The award provides Fellows in
science, technology, engineering, and math fields with a $30,000
stipend during a master's degree program at
one of four Indiana universities. In exchange, Fellows will
commit to teach math or science for three years in a high-need
indiana secondary school. Upon completing the master's degree
and teaching certification, Fellows will be placed in teaching jobs
in participating districts, where they will receive continued support
and mentoring. More details about the program are available at www.woodrow.org/indiana. Check it out!

Good and Bad Wills
Over 40 wills were submitted to the probate court with a multitude of
potential heirs each claiming to be the true recipient of a wealthy
business owner who passed away in 1976. With a $2.5 billion estate at
stake, there was intense interest in the decision of the court.
Savy Senior
For you and others like you who need to find health insurance on your
own - because of early retirement or a layoff - various options are
available, depending on your circumstances. Here's what you should
know.
On July 14, 2009 Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) released
the updated Democratic healthcare plan. It included a
government-sponsored health plan option, requires nearly everyone to
have coverage and levies new taxes on higher-income citizens.
Shares of Intel rose this week on stronger-than-anticipated sales
results for the company's second quarter. While sales were higher,
the company reported an overall loss due to the cost impact of an
antitrust fine imposed by the European Union.
Treasurys fell this week after the release of minutes from the latest
meeting of the Federal Reserve (Fed) which suggested that the U.S.
may be nearing the end of the recession. The Federal Reserve also
announced plans to purchase more Treasurys by the end of the year.
Freddie Mac reported a decline in long-term mortgage rates for the
third straight week. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged
5.14%, down from last week when it averaged 5.20%. Last year at this
time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.26%.
