From the Paper
"A new Yankee Stadium for the New York Yankees baseball club has been in consideration for many years but was not officially announced until June 15 of 2005. This baseball stadium is an open air stadium with a seating capacity of 51,000 and is scheduled for completion in April of 2009 ("Yankee" par.1). The new stadium is located adjacent to the present Yankee Stadium and is but a portion of a larger redevelopment project for that area. While the architect is HOK Sport located in Kansas City, the developer has not been selected yet. The overall cost of the project is expected to be approximately $1.02b in a mixture of public and private financing (Ozanian). One major emphasis in planning, design and construction of the new Yankee Stadium is that its exterior closely resembles that of the original."

From the Paper
"We may not have the Circus Maximus, but Americans come close. Not only do sports enjoy a special status in the hearts of Americans, it turns out that sports franchises do too. New sports facilities costing at least $200 million each have been completed or are under way in Baltimore, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Nashville, San Francisco, St. Louis, Seattle, Tampa, and Washington, D.C., and are in the planning stages in Boston, Dallas, Minneapolis, New York, and Pittsburgh. Major stadium renovations have been undertaken in Jacksonville and Oakland. Industry experts estimate that more than $7 billion will be spent on new facilities for professional sports teams before 2006. Most of this $7 billion will come from public sources. The subsidy starts with the federal government, which allows state and local governments to issue tax-exempt bonds to help finance sports facilities. While major sports franchises across the country are reaping the benefits of taxpayer-financed arenas in which to compete, the debate continues about the appropriateness of providing such enormous amounts of resources for the reasons provided by the promoters."

From the Paper
"Equity financing is the act of raising money for company activities by selling common or preferred stock to individual or institutional investors. In return for the money paid, shareholders receive ownership interests in the corporation. Equity (or common stock) offers residual claims. On a balance sheet, equity equals total assets less all liabilities. Equity financing is generally recommended for a business that's experiencing very high growth with high investment risk. The major sources of equity financing include individuals starting the business, friends and family, angel investors, venture capitalists, and public equity markets. Equity can take several forms including preferred stock, common stock, limited partnership interest, and project equity."

Introduction
Forms of Financing
Motivations for Financing Terrorism
Exploitation of the Media
Disturbing Trends
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Terrorists, of course, do not consider themselves to be irrational or self-righteous, they believe they are defending Muslims from Western domination and economic exploitation. Millions of Muslims throughout the Middle East share this belief, and help fund terrorist groups by making contributions to Islamic charities, which greatly exacerbates the difficulties for Western governments and intelligence agencies trying to cut off the financing of terrorism.
"The fundamental problem in combating the exploitation of Islamic charities by terrorist groups is the fact that the act of charity forms a very important part of Muslim law and tradition."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the effects and benefits of micro-financing in specimen countries, focusing on their respective exchange rates. Special focus is given to inflationary pressures, demand of goods and purchasing power, which may be affected by micro-financing.

I. Introduction: What is Micro-financing
II. Financials and Micro-financing
III. Micro-financing and exchange rates
IV. Benefits of Micro-financing
V. Conclusion
From the Paper
"The main benefits of micro-credit appear to be reduced vulnerability of the poor to adverse circumstances, increased consumption in the same group, and empowerment of women. The major spin-off of the micro-credit movement at the grassroots level has been the fact that women have used this system to come out and join a mainstream activity in the village. In many areas, particularly where there has been support from NGOs or strong SHGs, women have gained a voice and been able to use this space to come out of their traditional roles into a more 'proactive' male space."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the subject of global financing and the exchange rate.

The paper specifically looks at how multinational banks can minimize the risks associated with global financing.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Global Financing
Risk Management
Conclusions and Commentary
From the Paper
"Blount (1998) suggests that reductions in risks associated with global financing will stem from cooperative efforts between banks and political leaders. Such efforts should involve "defining uniform codes for security and financing issues" and "braiding exchange trading and bank settlement processes" in a manner that creates "multi-currency accounting" and financing systems (Blount, 1998: 38). While on paper this concept seems simple, it is often difficult to commingle varying political and economic interests between companies to create stable bank financing and exchange trading policies to which every country will agree to. At most global financial institutions can hedge risks by looking for and working with countries that demonstrate stability and an active interest in cooperating with other countries to create more fluid "global capital markets" (Blount, 1998: 38)."

Abstract
This paper explains campaign financing and the federal and state levels of campaigning funds. The paper discusses the finance reform laws that prohibit "soft money" and place restrictions on contributions. The paper relates that if the current trend continues, eventually congressional financing will be so regulated that even an ordinary citizen will be able to run for a seat in congress.
From the Paper
"It is said "Campaign financing in Congress has become so scandalous that is gives the wealthy in Congress inordinate influence, while ordinary citizens are virtually excluded from a meaningful role." It is true that Congress relies heavily on finances in order to maintain/achieve incumbency, however there are many financial restriction regarding campaign finances. Finance reform laws now prohibit the use of "soft money" (money obtain outside the restrictions of federal law). This soft money restriction came about with the passage of the Shay's- Meehan Campaign Finance Reform Law. However, there are restrictions on individual contributions, as established in the out come of the Buckley v. Valeo case. These restrictions have limited the effect of campaign spending on voters, and created little negative impact (aside from a lack of money) on the Congress as a whole."

Abstract
This work is a detailed analysis of the automobile financing schemes for Chrysler. It lists all the various controlled and uncontrolled variables as well as explains the demands for automobile financing. Among those are prices and special deals, money spent on advertising, average income of consumers, consumer taste and the expectation of services at Chrysler Financial.
From the Paper
"With the slowing of the economy, Chrysler is forced to give incentives such as special interest rates, factory rebates, and free equipment group upgrades to maintain sales levels that stay competitive. During the time of economic slowdown, there is less money flowing in and out of consumer?s hands, which means fewer business transactions taking place. This has an impact of all aspects of the economy, including car sales. In order to entice people to purchase cars during periods such as these, it is necessary to offer lowered rates and added incentives to interest the would-be buyer. This buyer power gives the consumer a financial advantage, thus leading to more demand for vehicles."

Abstract
This paper considers the different means available to hospitals for financing capital construction projects. The focus is on mortgages and bond issues. The paper touches on the general outlines of these methods of financing and discusses the characteristics of success funding arte in an effort to define the way hospitals can increase their likelihood of successfully raising funds.
From the Paper
"The financing of hospital construction projects has become an important public health issue in the past several decades. As the population has burgeoned through an influx of immigrants and a newly-expanding birth rate, and as the large "baby boom" population moves through middle age into retirement years, the demand for services that hospitals provide has grown. Concurrently, the sources of financing for hospital construction have shifted from public and philanthropic contributions to incursion of long-term debt (Washington State Department of Health, n.d.)."

Financing Options
The Effectiveness of the Options Chosen: Financial Outlook
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Financing is essentially to helping a company's strategic development and growth, as is clearly shown by Toyota. However, with projects or changes in strategic goals that require financial obligations from a corporation, then many options that fit the general financial position of the firm has to be examined. Options available are endless, however Toyota has to use the right combination to gain the needed capital while simultaneously dealing with the debt/equity balancing. Similarly, the financing techniques above are also chosen to ensure the optimal cash flow balance; which is enough to help with the daily cash flow needs, while not being excessive that results in a loss of opportunity interest. The overall composition of the paper was to clearly outline the options available to Toyota as they seek funding for the full cost of the recall at $925 million. The structure and method of each type is significantly different, but can be advantageous to Toyota as they seek funding."

Post-High School Education Financing, 2005.
This paper discusses problems of financing post-high school education especially for students from lower economic strata.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in looking at a cross section of any campus whether it is a university, college (private), junior college or a two-year trade school, most students in the lower end of the economic strata and require extremely tight budgeting to finance their education. The author points out that, despite the vast amounts of grant monies, scholarships, student-loans available and other sources of income, education financing is becoming an even greater problem because most of institutions are being forced to raise costs to the student body because of their own budgetary shortfalls. The paper stresses that the student loan programs at first glance appear to be a relief for the tightly budgeted student; however, there are some pitfalls to these programs that can do more harms than good for the over extended student.

From the Paper
"The problem as found by the Inspector General of the GSA was that the requirements for proofs by the Education Department were nearly non-existent. For example, in many cases there was no death certificate at all, in its place the Education Department accepted newspaper obituary notices, mostly forged was all that was required. Where permanent disability claims were concerned Social Security records proved that over 35,000 were quite able bodied and working making enough money to easily repay their indebtedness."

Abstract
This paper looks at sources of money for financing a film. It touches on pre-sale agreements, independent film distributors and investors. The paper examines SEC Regulations, non-profit organizations and personal debt. Taxation is also discussed.
From the Paper
"Studio filmmaking is an insider's game, and not many independent filmmakers can play, or they choose not to play. Studios are in the business of producing hits. The filmmaker loses a lot of creative control in this method. That's why these alternative methods of raising funds are needed. As difficult and complex as they may seem, they have worked to produce funds for many filmmakers, and allowed them to keep most of the creative control."

Abstract
This is a short paper regarding the association of future trends in hospital financing and the accompanying changes and requirements that would be placed on an in-hospital pharmacy. The paper discusses various trends, such as closing or merging for those in capital poor situations; increased collections, greater use of technology and specializing were trends for those in capital rich situations. The paper examines the necessary pharmaceutical recommendations in response to these changes.
From the Paper
"Future trends in hospital financing are either exciting or dismal, depending on what the hospital's current bond rating is ("How are Hospitals," 2004). If it is secure, the future is bright, as that hospital belongs to the group of hospitals considered "the haves." For the haves, money is not an issue and capital is readily available. For the "have nots" operating capital is scarce if it is there at all, the hospital is in jeopardy of closing its doors, and financing options are virtually non-existent ("How are Hospitals Financing, 2004). A reported "47% of hospital CFOs say they can't keep up with the basic need for capital improvements" (How are Hospitals, 2004)."
