>> there are different things out there. federal piece of legislation that would allow private student loan debt to be discharged in bankruptcy, congress is looking at that. there is also been different pose, curbing some of the more abusive, aggressive collections, tactics, some of these collectors use in private loan marketplace. so, consumer financial protection bureau is come out and said, look, we will regulate this area. too like the wild, wild west for a long time. we want to do something about private student loans. they are looking at it. a great web site that national consumer law center has a web site called student loan borrower system. they have a lot of great resources to consolidate their loans. where do i go to if i need my help. possible options for bankruptcy down the line. they have a lot of resources for people to look at. thank you, peter. helping people out of all ages it sounds like. more information about student loan debt from college bound fund, head to wpri.com. <iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://eplayer.clipsyndicate.com/embed/iframe?va_id=3273745&wpid=867&windows=1&pl_id=2928&pf_id=870&cpt=8" width="320" height="280"></iframe> Student,loan,debt,bomb Education,Financial Aid http://eplayer.clipsyndicate.com/view/2928/3274004 <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="top"><td><a href="http://www.clipsyndicate.com/video/playlist/2928/3274004?cpt=8&wpid=867"><img src="http://video-static.clipsyndicate.com/zStorage/clipsyndicate/135/2012/02/14/04/30/ff8f5b64aa3bb237558bf8f16948fe28.qiaflepurhsemvzkzroy.jpg" width="120" height="90" border="0" /></a></td><td style="padding:5px;">Hoosier Love, hoosierlove.com, MIBOR, Debbie Morris</td></tr></table> http://www.clipsyndicate.com/video/playlist/2928/3274004?cpt=8&wpid=867 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:00:30 +0000 INSTY - Hoosierlove.com Hoosier Love, hoosierlove.com, MIBOR, Debbie Morris http://www.clipsyndicate.com/video/playlist/2928/3274004?cpt=8&wpid=867 WISH CBS 8 Indianapolis the sizzle back into your relationship. >> i'm interested in that. >> speaking of sizzle deuce is here. >> he's a good guy. >> debby morris is here, the president of mibor, the indianapolis metropolitan of indianapolis realtors, we looked like we're going to a concert or we added a member but it's valentine's day. >> we're talking love. >> hoosierlove.com. there's a video promotion that's sponsored by the indianapolis metropolitan board of realtors. >> let's touch on it so everybody knows. hoosier love, what is it?

they will have strict protocol to follow and serious consequences if they do not follow the protocol, for example, an independent monitor will be watching them closely prepared to slap them with penalties up to a million an offense or five million for repeat offenses. the five banks involved to top the robosigning documents and to notify a delinquent customer in advance of initiating a foreclosure and sets up time lines and procedures for reviewing loan modification application and mandate as the banks set up a single point of contact for each borrower. home owners will also be able to appeal if they are turned down for help, and banks will be barred from initiating foreclosures at the very same time as processing loan modifications. a lot of families had their homes taken away while trying to get a modification and this will prevent that. and that monitor will be required to file and publish regular reports that identify servicers who do not follow the new guidelines. experts say this will really keep banks in line, because now they will be on the hook and watched, and it will be publish end they break the rules. >> Kim: ALL RIGHT, MICHELLE, thank you for update.

of riots massive riots rioters take over the capital of greece... as they protest a . >> Kim: RIOT. rioters protesting wages, and jobs. >> family and friends of a local man killed by an apparent drunk driver gathered to pay their respects. a live report coming up. >> Kim: ALSO, WHITNEY'S TRIBUTE. the sudden death of whitney houston leaves a somber feeling at the grammy awards, as they remember that vocal powerhouse. good morning. welcome to monday. welcome to the program. we are thrilled to have you up early with us. >> Dana: WE'RE GOING TO TALK about the misses in the grammys with is fashion, including one person that dressed up like little red ridinghood. >> Kim: IT'S AWESOME. melinda scheckles from "vegas rated" here on the side. >> Dana: SOME OF THESE CANALS IN italy are frozen because it's so cold and snow is covering many of the gondolas, and a lot of people are expected in town for a festival. >> Kim: THEY'RE GETTING HIT WITH the winter that is missing a lot of us. here at home, the rebels are on fire! what a game saturday night against san diego state, and in case you missed it, we have the must-see moments coming up in just a little bit. >> Dana: 6:01 THIS MORNING AND A woman suspected of driving drunk when texting when she hit and killed a man on super bowl night is to make her first court appearance in the valley today. >> Kim: ROB MUNOZ JOINS US FROM the regional justice center and family and friends of tyson diver say he was supposed to be starting this new career right before he was killed. >> they told us last night in a vigil they held for tyson diver, who is 24 years old and that suspected driver has been here in court. the police identified the driver that hit diver on rainbow and wigwam as 33-year-old veronica aryana. this is on the night of the super bowl, police say she was texting at the time of the accident. tyson diver's family and friends say tyson was picking up his dad from the airport that night and about to travel to texas because diver was getting ready to start his dream job as a police officer moving out there to texas and they say now, his memory is a lesson to others. >> drunk driving is something that can be stopped by not only the person that did it, but by the people around them. so let's all share the story of tyson diver and do what we can to make sure that drunk driving comes to a stop. girders weekend, and there they are up and flying over the top and those are the last ones for a little while that require the freeway to be shut down below and now curving in towards summerlin parkway in the median in the north and southbound lanes. so eventually, another closure will be installed for the deck and no schedule established for that yet, and right now, we're accident free around the valley, dana. >> Dana: ALL RIGHT, TOM. big chaes in terms of the weather with the daytime highs going down and the wind speeds going up with increasing clouds and a chance of rain later today. that is the current picture from mandalay bay camera camera with a few showers and more on the way. the winds have now started to freshen out of the south at 15 gusting to 21. by this afternoon, winds will be 20 to 30 gusting to 45. a chance of rain moving in later today with a high of 60. >> Kim: IT'S NOW 6:04 AND HOME appliances cause a estimated 150 fires a year resulting in more than 150 deaths and $1 million with a troubling number are caused but defective appliances. >> the fire that spread through this home started in the kitchen, the cause, a toaster, according to fire officials. >> it was horrendous, just horrendous. what wasn't destroyed by the fire was destroyed by smoke and water damage. >> Kim: AND THIS FIRE, HOME owners say, started in their dishwasher while they were out of the house. according to fire officials, this fire started in a microwave, even if the home owners say it wasn't in use. consumer reports reviewed 69,000 reports of house fires blamed on appliances between the years 2002 and 2009. its investigation found a significant number were not caused by human error. >> we found at least 23% are clearly attributable with problems to the appliances, mechanic, electrical or design flaws and in some instances, they turned on by themselves. >> the faulty ones are ranges, dryers and dishwashers. >> there are defects that can cause a fire and nearly eight million appliances have been called for fire risk >> to check if an appliance you own is recalled go to recall.gov, but why there are so many recalls because of the fire hazard. >> appliances have got more complex so more can go wrong and many recalled products are being manufactured abroad, the majority in china. >> Kim: CONSUMER REPORTS SAYS until design and quality are improved, home owners are left to wonder if the appliances in their homes are safe. so in response to the consumer reports, the association of home appliance manufacturers has said that designing and manufacturing safe products is a top priority for members. as for home owners, some important steps you can take, first of all, register the new appliances with the manufacturer. then you'll see the recall notices, also, don't run your dryer or dishwasher overnight or when away from the home. there is more on this on our web site on mynews3.com that you can make sure you have a new appliance, something something that is acting up. also, still to come, winter may be on the wind-down, so we have expert advice from consumer reports coming up on news 3 at 4:00, and it will be perfect timing, since the temperatures are supposed to take a nose-dive. >> Dana: THE TEMPERATURES COMING down a little bit, you bet. >> Kim: SO MAYBE IF YOU'RE GOING to grab one, pay attention to this afternoon's newscast and run by target and buy identity on the way home. 6:07 and the grammys turn into a partial tribute to whitney houston. >> Dana: WHO TOOK ON THE challenge of performing one of the whitney's songs, that is coming up. >> Kim: AND VOLUNTEERS COMBING through a landfill in an attempt to find some clues in the josh powell case. we'll tell you know what they're looking for. >> Tom: LOOKS LIKE AN ACCIDENT

and the fashions last night and some that did not work. >> Kim: YOU SAW JULIANNE HOUGH. >> Dana: YOU CAN PUT HER IN A burlap bag and she would look good. >> Tom: THIS BELTWAY BUILDOUT IS west of here all the way to tenaya with one fender-bender, though, on washington eastbound at the overpass on the 95, looks like it's block off one travel lane, actually, you only have one through travel lane with dedicated right turns and left turns, but traffic is able to get around it and traffic is light this time of the day so really not a factor. elsewhere, everything in pretty good shape, dana. >> all right, tom. 6:11 and the wind speeds have picked up a little bit and the winds will be very strong by this afternoon. we see some clouds, more on the way with a chance of rain also on the way. yesterday, we started out the day with clear skies, a few clouds roll in by yesterday afternoon and now this storm system is moving in our general direction with snow in northern nevada, snow in the sierra and rain in the central valley of california. i think we can get comes snow above about 4,000 feet tonight and maybe snow levels dropping to 3500 feet but the futurecast saying the best chance of snow coming tonight and tomorrow morning. 61 in boulder city, 57 in pahrump and sandy valley, 67 in laughlin. may seem a little chilly this afternoon, but these very close to seasonal normals and missouri and arkansas hit with the rain/snow line on the state line in we know arkansas and louisiana, and we have this storm system starting to make its way onshore as we speak. 46 for a high in salt lake and seattle and 48 in portland and 55 in san francisco and look how far this cool air dips, a high OF 33 IN St. LOUIS, MISSOURI today, so snow on the way, in fact, they're already getting it as we speak. the next seven for us with a normal high of 62. we're expecting 60 today with wind speeds up to 45 miles an hour this afternoon and best chance of rain tonight and tomorrow and tomorrow, a high of just 55. >> Kim: IT'S 6:13 AND WHEN WE return, we are taking you over the greece, where the scene is scary. you think they are trying to avoid an economic collapse, which you think would be good news, but the rioters don't think so and we'll take you to washington state where the governor is getting ready to sign same-sex marriage legislation into law. this also causing controversy, it's all ahead.. >> it's february, the day is 14, but from the look on your face, you don't know what that means ? don't even try it, don't try to . >> Kim: WELCOME BACK. is now time we lead off with rioting with the greek capital seeing the biggest demonstrations as the government is enacting austerity measures with greek police and protesters were outside the building with stores on fire and 65 people reported injured in this violence this. new deal calls for wage, tension and job cuts in exchange for a $170 billion rescue package. some of the experts are saying the country is heading towards an complicate collapse? >> volunteers in washington state searched tons of trash south of seattle looking for clues in the case of missing susan powell. her husband, josh, blew up his home a week ago killing himself and his two sons. investigators got a tip that he may have dumped some items in a recycling center before taking his life and his sons'. so here are the volunteers sifting through the piles of tears looking for items he may have dumped and powell was a person of interest in his wife's disappearance. no word if the volunteers found anything in all of that trash? >> washington state's governor is going to sign legislation today legalizing same-sex marriages. the law will got take effect until sometime in june, but opponents have promised a challenge that could put the law on hold pending the results of a november vote. washington is the seventh state in ur union allowing same-sex couples to wed. >> 6:18 now and we know the banks reached a settlement foreclosure, $25 billion nationwide, but experts are saying this will bring a new rash of foreclosures. >> Tom: THIS IS LAMB IN THE THE far northeast with a couple reports of some accident. we're keeping track from sky 3. >> Dana: HERE'S A LIVE LOOK FROM . >> Kim: WELCOME BACK. it's now this monday morning. >> let's check in with tom hawley, and you in a giant hole in the desert, what's going on? >> Tom: IT'S A SWIMMING POOL that maybe needs a little maintenance. there it is. this swimming pool has probably BEEN THERE SINCE THE 60s, BUT clearly needs some work, check the location, near the i-15/215 beltway and i checked online to see who owns this. a couple years ago before the recession, it was purchased by the food redistribution plant, and i don't think they wanted to revitalize the pool but put in a factory. but i don't think we will see anyone taking a dip in here any time soon. >> Dana: AND THERE'S NO JACUZZI either, no spa out there. 6:22, a lot of clouds with a chance of rain moving into the valley, a chance of mountain snow above about 3500 feet later on tonight. these are the current temperatures in the water smart NETWORK, MID TO UPPER 40s AND LOW 50s ACROSS THE VALLEY AND 29 DEGREES IN Mt. CHARLESTON, AND they could get some snow tonight for sure. 60 for a high, winds 20 to 30 gusting to 45 with a chance of rain here in the valley later on this afternoon and tonight. and in venice, italy, it is so cold there that some of the canals have frozen, not the main canal but on the side there, but thousands of people are expected to be in there for the venice carnival, but i imagine the bitter cold temperatures will keep the crowd down some. >> Kim: YEAH, I IMAGINE. and when we have questions about your money, we will get them answers with patricia wu. we are talking about the multi-billion foreclosure deal translating into more foreclosures, do explain? >> here's the news, good for thousands of home owners affected by the mortgage crisis but it will result in many more foreclosures this year. here's why, while negotiations on the settlement were underway, many lenders held offn repossessing homes. they kind of took a wait and see approach. so that resulted in a backlog of bad loans so the real estate industry experts say this deal will see a lot of foreclosures that should have taken place last year. so it will get worse before it hopefully gets better. >> Kim: PATRICIA, WE GET TO TALK coconuts, and i have heard how disgusting this drink tastes and jessica simpson rave about it, so you have news regarding this coconut water juice, what is this stuff? >> well, actually, i have to say i love it, but it is a hot market. last year, 400 million in retail sales and the market pretty much doubled the revenue every year since 2005. now, here's why so many people like it, new research suggests that pure coconut water from concentrate is as effect as water in sports drinks for he hydrating after moderate exercise, and the number one selling u.s. coconut is vidacoco and expecting to be in 55,000 stores nationwide so you'll see it in walgreens, cvs and coca-cola and pepsi ramping this up by expanding their stakes in companies that make this coconut water. you have to try it, kim and let me know what you think. >> Kim: ON YOUR ADVICE, I WILL give it a go and we'll check back with you. patricia, thank you and see you tomorrow. a programing note, on "news 3 at noon" today, go inside nevada with our station owner jim rogers as he talks with john white, the dean of the boys school of law, and today, the two talk about the high cost of education. >> the other thing, particularly, for public schools, the level of subsidy has dropped tremendously over the last 10, 15 years, and you're seeing states with tight budgets that saying higher education is not the place i'd rather spend that money, and and in many instances, you'll see a school going from 70, 80% supported by the state with law schools for sure and other professional schools at zero. >> Dana: AND ON TWITTER, JIM rogers continues his look into higher education and how southern nevada gets shortchanged by the governor and the legislature. jim writes: . >> to read more and contact jim with your opinion or comment, go online twitter.com/jimrogersnevada. >> for the next couple of weeks, jim is going to focus on this, and i just want you to chew on this as you hear the different facts and figures, when it comes to our medical school here in the state, we have people come out of state educated here and guess how many stay and practice in nevada. >> Dana: I KNOW THE ANSWER, zero. the out of state students that come into the state and it's a relatively cheap medical degree, too. >> Kim: IT'S ONE OF THE BEST bargains. >> 17,000 a year. >> Kim: SHY OF 18,000, SO THE next few weeks, you're stomach will turn as you're eat your breakfast when you hear some of this. 6:28 now and the list is in, we have some of the best and the worst in the grammy awards last night. . >> Kim: GOVERNNT SPENDING. we have a washington and what it's all about. >> Dana: AND BANK FORECLOSURE practices. there is a new standard if banks want to foreclose on you. >> Kim:. >> Kim: AND THE GRAMMYS WITH ALL the tributes to whitney houston. >> sky 3 is cruising the south valley with a couple fender-benders about. we'll haven update for you in just a moment.. >> Dana: GOOD MORNING. welcome in and i hope you had a great weekend. thanks for waking up early with us. >> Kim: OH, THERE IS A DAD OUT there showing his teenage daughter some tough love, to say the least after she goes on a facebook rant about her parents. so that is what he does in return, a that response has earned him more than 20 million VIEWS ON YouTube. we'll take you inside the full story coming up. >> Dana: THAT IS HIM FIRING BACK at some of her comments. and lynn sanity, i don't know if you've about this, a big deal in the world of sports and that young man is jeremy lynn and undrafted and now plays for the new york knicks and has come out of nowhere in the last week and he's a big sensation in china, as well, although, he is american. so more on this coming up in the next hour. >>im: HARVARD EDUCATED. >> he is. >> Kim: AND NOW PLAYING BALL IN new york. we know that the $26 billion mortgage settlement will help struggling americans, but how it will prevent banks from abusing their power in the future is now coming to light. >> Dana: EXPERTS THIS SETS A NEW set of rules for banks before foreclosing on a home and michelle velez with for on the story. good morning, michelle. >> good morning, dana. it's been a rough five years, just ask anybody, more than four million home owners who have been affected by this and lost their homes. the banks involved in the settlement serve nearly 60% of the nation's mortgages and from here on out, they will have strict protocol to follow and serious consequences if they do not follow the protocol, for example, an independent monitor will be watching them closely prepared to slap them with penalties up to a million an offense or five million for repeat offenses. the five banks involved to top the robosigning documents and to notify a delinquent customer in advance of initiating a foreclosure and sets up time lines and procedures for reviewing loan modification application and mandate as the banks set up a single point of contact for each borrower. home owners will also be able to appeal if they are turned down for help, and banks will be barred from initiating foreclosures at the very same time as processing loan modifications. a lot of families had their homes taken away while trying to get a modification and this will prevent that. and that monitor will be required to file and publish regular reports that identify servicers who do not follow the new guidelines. experts say this will really keep banks in line, because now they will be on the hook and watched, and it will be publish end they break the rules. >> Kim: ALL RIGHT, MICHELLE, thank you for update. this is all the talk friday afternoon lunch with a lot of lady friends who are making close attention to this. >> Dana: HERE'S THE DEAL. people say $25 billion, that is really scratching the surface of what needs to be done here, but some are saying at least it's a step in the right direction. >> Kim: WE'LL STAY ON TOP OF IT as it develops. >> Dana: TIME FOR TRAFFIC NOW with tom. >> Tom: IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL valley at gillespie and richmar and i don't see anything amiss but there is an accident in the far northeast, on walnut on las vegas boulevard with a car spun around sideways, but not going to cause a big problem. there's just not all that many people, elsewhere, a pretty light commute, dana and we are starting to feel some winds? >> that's what i thought with the wind speeds picking up an hour or so and getting stronger during the d with very gusty winds expected by this afternoon and plenty of clouds this morning with the current tempature of 50 and winds from the south at 15 gusting to 21 miles an hour. this afternoon, winds 20 to 30, gusting to 45, a high of 60 with a chance of rain moving in later today? >> 6:35 and a spokesman from the los angeles county county coroner's office says that autopsy is completed but the results may take six to eight weeks and there is a speculation that prescription drugs may have played a role in her death. the spokesperson said that she was found in the bathtub and foul play is not expected. >> Kim: TONIGHT, A LOCAL FAMILY is speaking out for the first time about the loss of their son and the lesson that goes along with his wife. bishop gorman brady caipa died after a night of partying and his parents are saying a 911 call could have saved their son's life. >> as teenagers, they don't think of the consequences, you know, it's all short-term thinking, oh, you know, he's going to be fine tomorrow. well, tomorrow never came for brady. >> Kim: THAT POWERFUL INTERVIEW AT 5:00 WITH OUR OWN MacKENZIE warren, which starts her week long series called "teens in trouble" and she will highlight a different issue facing our local teenagers. >> Dana: A STORY EVERYBODY HAS to see on news 3 at 5 p.m. a group of robbers still on the loose after breaking into a jewelry store here in the valley last night. not long before the mall was to close, the robbers smashed in the window at the ben bridge jewelry store and witnesses say that shoppers ran in manic and the security quickly evacuated the mall. the robbers, we're opened the, got away with several items. >> it's just like, three shots, like people were fighting. they started running. >> Dana: SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT they heard gunshots but no shots were fired and people may have mistaken the breaking of the window as the gun fire. no one was hurt here. >> in the thomas &amp; mac, rocking and rolling as nationally ranked unlv hosted nanotionally ranked san diego. the rebels back on top after losing the lead and then in the end, san diego state with a chance to win and driving that up the court for san diego and the kid from a taft high school picks hit pocket and the rebels hold on to win by two, a huge, huge victory. >> Kim: AN ENTERTAINING WEEKEND. that was saturda night and this is last night. adele voluming in grammys after winning big in last night's grammy awards taking home six trophies, including records of the year, album of the year, song of the year, just everything. all the big winners are lady and -- antebellum foo fighters and julianne hough looking very jennifer aniston-like, and melinda shekels is here from "vegas rated." and you are about to talk about the misses. >> taylor swift. i think she's going through an identity crisis, all in all, not a bad look, but it was the hair and the whole thing, it was a lot, a little overdone for the grammys. they are more spicy. >> Kim: AND YOU SEE SHORT dresses in the grammys. >> this is much more formal than she should have gone and i think she's trying to find her feet fashion-wise. >> Kim: SHOWS GROWING UP. >> the one hit in this group is rhianna, and i thought rhianna looked absolutely fantastic. you know, her hair, i had seen pictures of her leading up to this, but her hair was questionable, but she explained, this is armani and she is trying to channel michelle pfeiffer in "scarface" and designing a capsule collection for or -- armani. >> Kim: WHEN SHE WALKED UP TO the red carpet, he said thank you. >> she looked absolutely sensational and i overlooked the roots but i couldn't overlook katie perry. this looks like that dress i didn't like that jessica beal borrow in the golden globes and needed the upper support and her roots were green and her hair was blue. justll over the place. i needed a map to de -- deciphor what was going on and fergie, jean paul gaultier, too much for fergie. >> Kim: . >> the color with her very deep tan, she looked average from head to toe. >> Kim: SHE LOOKED LIKE SHED A A girdle. i don't think she needs spanks, but she looked too average. nicki minaj. >> Kim: OH, BOY, NICKI. >> but the medusa, versace head and i liked the logo and her face was nice, minimal, and she brought her own

rainbow and walnut and las vegas boulevard with an accident and as we get ready for check in this shot on the spring mountain range with a system of clouds settling on the top of those mountains. >> Dana: THAT'S AWESOME, TOM. thank you. that is a great shot on the western edge of the las vegas valley and those mountains pay get some snow later on this afternoon with the snow levels dropping to 3500 feet later on tonight, so that means the red rock visitor center could get a dusting of snow, that's possible. so the sun is up with a few clouds out there and a lot moring of the in. the storm systeming of the through california and northern nevada as we speak, so look at this snow pop up to the east of winnemucca along interstate 80, so as this system moves through, it will do a couple things, pick up the wind speeds today and give us a chance of rain early this afternoon with a better chance today and tomorrow. 61 for a high in boulder city, 57s FOR PAHRUMP AND SANDY VALLEY and 62 this afternoon in mesquite and 67 in laughlin. here are the next seven. the normal high is 62 and we're expecting 60 today with winds gusting to 45 miles an hour later on this afternoon. the best chance of rain tonight and tomorrow, but a slight chance on wednesday and thursday, as well. >> Kim: ALL RIGHT, 6:47 AND excitement is building. tomorrow is not only valentine's day, it is also the grand opening of the mop museum. the festivities include a wedding ceremony for seven lucky couples and former mayor oscar goodman will do the performing of the ceremonies so make sure you're with us tomorrow morning, because this is really cool. our rob munoz will be reporting live from inside the mob museum so the first look is here on the program. >> Kim: WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE NASA will have a lot less cash to work with next year. the space agency is expected to present the 2013 budget later today. let me tell you, it's not looking pretty. the space agency is looking at about a 300 million dollar cut. the money currently in the budget will be used to keep the space station up and running to take humans to mars someday. >> Dana: 6:47 AND PRESIDENT obama will release his budget plan today, and we know it will include over a trillion dollars in deficit spending and live to our nation's capitol with tracie potts standing by this afternoon, so the president asking for more taken a trillion in deficit spending and tax increases on the rich, and the republicans are already bouncing. >> absolutely, dana. let me break that down. this is the fourth year in a row that we would have spent that much more than we're taking in on this government and the republicans say we just can't continue this way but president obama will make the case that there are some areas that we can't cut, but we need to spend more, transportation, the ailing infrastructure in this country, education, in fact, he's making this announcement today in a community college, where he will pitch an $8 billion fund to link community colleges with businesses out there who have permanent jobs and train two million people to get those jobs. if you scale back some of the spending now in particular areas, the white house argues we're going to see more unemployment. so that budget he rollsut today will have $1.5 in trillion to hopefully budget this and that will hit the rich hitting those that make over $250,000, ending tax breaks for oil companies, new taxes on banks and of course, that controversial 30% minimum tax on millionaires. >> Dana: OH, LET THE GAMES begin! thank you very much, tracie.

1995. attorneys for bulger deny that they are preparing for an upcoming trial? >> gas prices, the latest lundberg survey showing that gas prices are up about 12 cents a gallon since late january. the average price here in the united states, about $3.51 per gallon and specifically in las vegas, the average price is 3.50 a gallon, and that happens to be up two cents from last week and eight cents from a month ago. the lundberg survey says the gas prices are up because of the increase in the price of north sea oil and stay predict the prices could go up a few more pennies in the weeks ahead. whe'll stay on top of it. >> have you heard of lynn sanity, we are talking about jeremy lynn, playing guard for the new york knicks, and most have not heard of him but he started three games for the knicks and drafted from harvard and cut by two nba teams and the knicks picked him up and he just caught on fire. he scored more points in the first three starts than any other nba player in history with 38 the other night against kobe bryant and the lakers in a victory and not only is lynnsanity sweeping the united states, it is also sweeping china, although he grew up in palo alto and went to college in harvard. >> i want you to meet tommy jordan from north carolina. this man is not happy with his daughter hanna. the daughter is 16 years old and went on facebook with a profanity laced post about her parents, complaining about the stuff that most 16-year-olds do, about chores and not getting the latest gadgets, so here's tommy's response. >> so i'm going to put a stop to it, and i'll put

We are a long full-service cpa firm. We do audits, reviews, we have a large tax department, god-sized bookkeeping department. One page are industry concentration is with hoa's and condos. A few weeks ago john was with us and we learned hoa's and condo associations need to have a good cpa firm to back them up. Let's jump into that a little bit. Tell me the difference between an audit, a compilation and review. A compilation is a set of financial statements where there is no testing, no asurance, issue the financials and you're done. A review is limited assurance, analytical and tells there are no misstatements inthe financial system. Audit is highest level of service and numbers are presented as a whole. How often do i have those done? Something that should be looked at once a year and statutes dictate when the minimum requirements. Revenues between 100,000, 200,000 to 4 town is review and over 400,000 is an audit. Richard, you are the person most of the time the associatio associations come speak to you first. With that in relationship to john how important is it for an association to have a good cpa? Have you to have a cpa. To do an audit, review or compilation it has t be done by a cpa. Your local accountant who may be good with numbers but not a qualifieded cpa cannot perform the audit, the compilation or review. John, have you an interesting point, even if you have a cpa doing your daily books they shouldn't be performing that audit, compilation or review. Can you explain that? There are independent standards and if you are a cpa firm doing day-to-day accounting for association you are not alawed to perform an audit or review. You cannot audit or review your own number. That board has to get an independent qualified cpa firm to test the numbers. Marge who has been doing our books can't do it. Right. Tell me about what's coming down the pipe for 2012. What's something new -- is there anything new with audit,compilation reviews the association should lok at? The statutes are the minimum standards and on the board they've got governance isues, periodically do it if not every single year. They might vote to waive to have an audit done. Have a review. They can use and have it for oversight. If are you dealing with a cpa firm ask for a peer review. Part of aicpa quality control program. Good firms submit to this and gives the board assurance you have a firm that met the test and is a quality firm. As associations increase revenue that determine what is they have done annually. Yes. The statutes are set up in condo a board can waive the requirements for a thre years and then the fourth year they have do it. It began in '08, if they waived it they have to do it 12/31/12 this year. Tell me how association revenues increases. If prices are being driven up for insurance or other types of products, assessments have to increase, they get more into a rental program, you have revenues for rental programs. As reserves build and grow the interest earned from that is treated and counted for as revenue. Requirements total revenue on the accrual basis which means you have to throw she havables in there, too. Not what you collect but the total amount, what's billed. Didn't know that. So from that standpoint and knowledge is power, you are out in the community talking to folks. Tell us a little bit about what do you. I think part of our role is we have to give something back to the community and we will teach 20, 30 different workshops per year as a community service.
