Mediation Not Litigation

In a world of conflict, where courts tend to make a decision only after wasting both side's resources and destroying any hope of a further relationship, mediation seeks-and usually achieves-mutual satisfaction. Parties control the outcome, which is not possible when a decision is rendered by a judge or jury. Mediation offers the opportunity to expand traditional discussions and broaden resolution options.It does so swiftly, at low cost, while protecting both parties' privacy.

Mediation is a process in which a neutral third-party intervenes in a dispute, helping both sides to communicate with each other and, if possible, reaches an agreement that satisfies everyones needs.

Refinance Flurry Not Just About Lower Rates: Mortgage Industry Insider's Advice Can Save an Additional $10,000 to $100,000

With mortgage rates at a 40-year low, consumers are lining up to refinance their loans or take out new mortgages. Mortgage expert Dale Vermillion's new book, 'Navigating the Mortgage Maze: The Simple Truth About Financing Your Home' (Northfield Publishing, January 2009), provides advice that can save borrowers thousands of dollars. (http://www.dalevermillion.com)

"With rates at historic lows, there is a small window of opportunity right now for homeowners to save hundreds of dollars per month in payments. However, contrary to decades-old conventional wisdom, getting a lower rate doesn't necessarily mean you're saving money," Vermillion says. "If you do it the wrong way, you could reduce your existing rate by a full 2 percent and actually put yourself in worse financial shape than before."

To The Rescue --- K-12 Private Schools For Less Than $850 a Year Tuition

Joel Turtel, author of "Public Schools, Public Menace: How Public Schools Lie To Parents and Betray Our Children," says busy working parents can give their kids a quality, low-cost, private-school education at home using the Internet.

Turtel says, "Internet private schools take most of the burden off parents' backs."

Millions of desperate parents today are appalled at the inferior education public schools give their kids, but think they have no where else to go.

Many parents believe that the only alternative to public schools is either a Catholic or Protestant-affiliated school or expensive non-religious private school. The problem is that even Catholic schools now charge an average tuition between $3000 to $4000 a year. Non-religious private schools can charge between $7000 to over $14,000 a year.

That was really the genesis for this white paper -- to explain, in simple terms, VoIP basics and its applications for school communications.”
