Nationwide Names New Leaders for Retirement Plans and P&C Direct Channel

Dear Credit Card Adviser, I recently applied and was approved for a business credit card. I used my name as the name of the business and my Social Security number as the employer identification number, and I classified myself as a sole proprietor.

Other than the credit inquiry to open the account, do business credit cards show up on personal credit reports? While I understand I'm liable for the charges, is it possible for me to bury my spending on my business card to keep my personal credit report free and clear and create a nice, healthy credit history for lenders to see? -- Nick

Dear Nick, Unfortunately, you've basically signed a personal guarantee on the small-business credit card, and your personal credit could be at stake. Because the card was given to you based on your individual credit history and credit score, the issuer most likely will report the card's performance to your personal credit files. But what issuers report varies by company.

Some issuers may report all information to your personal credit files. Others may only report negative information from small-business credit cards and ignore the positive payment history. That means if you only use your small-business credit card -- and you use it responsibly -- none of that good performance is recorded on your credit report and can't help your credit score.

For example, JPMorgan Chase & Co. reports delinquencies that are 60 days past due on small-business credit cards to the consumer's personal credit report. Otherwise, Chase reports to the commercial bureau to help the business build its credit profile, according to company spokeswoman Laura Rossi.

The second major factor to consider is consumer protections. The Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 banned many egregious practices such as retroactive interest rate increases, double-cycle billing and unreasonable fees, but small-business credit cards aren't covered under those protections.

That means if you're 30 days behind on a payment on your small-business credit card in the first year, your issuer can charge you a late fee of more than $25, charge you more than one fee for the late payment, raise your interest rate on new and existing charges without warning, and maintain that penalty rate for as long as the issuer likes. All that can't happen with a consumer credit card, thanks to the Credit CARD Act. So, if you put all your business and personal spending on the small-business card and have trouble making payments, you are opening yourself up to a world of fees and high rates.

Small-business credit cards work well for an established business with a healthy, dependable monthly revenue stream. They can help separate business expenses from personal spending. Some small-business credit cards also come with useful rewards programs that award points for purchases of office supplies and business travel as well as phone, computer and Internet services.

But, like a consumer credit card, it's important for your business to be able to pay the entire credit card bill in full every month to avoid accruing more interest debt. This can be tough for new business owners who must balance their optimism with reality. I hope this helps.

An Indian yoga guru has ended a six-day hunger strike against corruption but vowed to use his popularity to pile pressure on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Baba Ramdev, a maverick 'holy man' who heads a wealthy international yoga organisation, sipped juice to break his fast on Tuesday as several thousand supporters cheered him in New Delhi.

Ramdev had tried to lead an anti-corruption march to parliament on Monday but was corralled by police at a sports stadium in the Indian capital.

The prime minister 'should show political will and honesty, and if he does not show it, he will be deemed as corrupt', Ramdev, half naked and wearing saffron-coloured robes, told the crowds.

'If he cannot remain politically honest then he should leave the post,' Ramdev said, claiming that the fast had achieved its aims and calling for the downfall of Singh's ruling Congress party at

general elections due in 2014.

'Next time in the elections, we should ensure that not a single Congress leader gets elected to parliament,' he said.

Pranab Mukherjee, India's newly elected president, in a customary address on the eve of Independence Day, said he had sympathy with Ramdev's cause but warned against random protests.

'Anger against the bitter pandemic of corruption is legitimate, as is the protest against this plague that is eroding the capability and potential of our nation,' he said, without referring to the yoga guru.

'There are times when people lose their patience but it cannot become an excuse for an assault on our democratic institutions,' said Mukherjee, who quit as finance minister in June to run for the largely ceremonial post.

Indian yoga guru ends hunger strike

By Harmeet Shah Singh, CNN

Indian yoga guru Baba Ramdev climbs onto the roof of a car to address his followers in New Delhi on Tuesday.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

New Delhi (CNN) -- India's famed yoga guru, Baba Ramdev, ended his hunger strike Tuesday, a day after he was briefly detained at a New Delhi stadium for protesting alleged government corruption.

Ramdev's anti-corruption fast started on August 9 and ended Tuesday at the same stadium where he had been detained. The end to the fast was televised as many watched the bearded yoga teacher sip what appeared to be lemon juice.

Ramdev, whose yoga television programs have been watched by millions, is seeking repatriation of Indian money he says is stashed in foreign banks. He has also criticized the ruling Congress party, blaming it for chronic graft.

On Monday, police briefly detained Ramdev after he tried to lead an anti-corruption march toward the national parliament building, police said.

He was transported to the stadium, where he was detained for hours. Ramdev and his supporters stayed overnight at the venue despite being released.

He ended his protest fast and left the stadium with his supporters Tuesday after police told him to leave because of security concerns ahead of India's Independence Day on Wednesday.

Yohance Salimu, an All-City defensive lineman at Crenshaw High, had run out of options.

His family had lost its apartment and was living at a homeless shelter far from school. He was taking trains and buses and staying with friends. There was no place to put his clothes, so they were starting to smell.

Crenshaw football Coach Robert Garrett decided it was time to intervene. He offered Salimu six lockers at school.

The catch: Salimu had to memorize six locker combinations. "I'm really good with numbers," he said.

Salimu stored his dirty clothes in two of the lockers. Four others contained his clean clothes. And despite all his other duties involving coaching and teaching, Garrett would take home a bag full of Salimu's dirty clothes and do the player's laundry.

When graduation day came in June 2011, Salimu had a 3.8 grade-point average and was accepted to the Air Force Academy.

"I'm thankful for my teachers pushing me above and beyond, and one of them was Coach Garrett," he said.

At a time of budget cuts, furlough days, student defections to private schools and growing unease about what the future might bring, there are coaches in the sprawling Los Angeles Unified School District such as Garrett who refuse to be deterred.

"You never know who you're getting through to," said another of them, Dorsey football Coach Paul Knox. "You never know who you're going to touch."

Garrett, Knox and Mike Walsh of San Pedro have spent 22 years or longer teaching and coaching football at the same school, making them the longest-tenured football coaches in LAUSD.

KUSA -Ever wonder if you areachieving your greatest potential in life? A workshop next month in Vail hopes to help women answer that question.

The Second Annual Women's Empowerment Workshop, Sept 13 to 16 at the Vail Racquet Club Mountain Resort will take women on journeys throughexplorations in nature, rafting, rock climbing, hiking, groundwork with horses, seminars and life coaching.

Susie Kincade, co-founder of the workshop was a guest with Susie Wargin for the latest Sidebar. She talked about how the workshop is designed to take women outward into nature, not to conquer it, but to learn from it. Activities are designed for all ages and abilities, and provide skills and tools that women can take directly into their life.

On the river expedition women will learn to understand currents, of both water and life, and apply the metaphors and navigation skills learned on the river to situations in their life. Journeying to the soul of nature through hiking, and learning from horses as they mirror the authentic self are other activity options in this diverse, extraordinary workshop. Yoga, journaling time and Envision Your Life seminars round out the four days.

"We know and understand the magic that can happen when venturing out into the natural world. We have lived it our entire lives here in the Colorado mountains," said Kincade. "This is our way of offering it to others so that they can experience in a few days what we've learned over a lifetime, and be able to take practical skills into their life, no matter where they live. People can always use nature as a touchstone."
