This city of 70,000 has five McDonald’s franchises, three Pizza Huts, four Starbucks shops — and 19 payday loan stores, brightly lighted storefronts with names like EZ Money and Check Into Cash that offer two-week loans without credit checks.

Peggy Truckey, 53, knows the allure. Last year she owed nearly $1,300 to four of those stores, and was paying about $600 a month in finance fees alone. “I thought I was going to have to take a second job just to pay off the credit,” Ms. Truckey said.

Online gambling giant 888 has reported record growth, with 3.6 million members now betting online.The website reported a 35 per cent increase in real money memberships in its final quarter results for 2006 despite the operator having to exit its operations in the US because of regulation changes last October.
Changes in legislation limited online gambling companies from being able to accept electronic payment methods, such as credit cards, for members to use its casino and poker games – dealing 888's US market a crippling blow.
The company's non-US business reported a net gaming revenue of $157 million (£78 million) in 2006, 28 per cent above revenue in 2005.
Its net gaming revenue for all business, including the US, was up seven per cent in the same period.
Helping its non-US operations were the release of new online casino in Spanish and German languages and a new sports betting licence issued in Italy in December.
The increase in revenue for 888 has continued into the start of 2007, with revenue set to rise even further by the release of a mobile casino this month.
Announcing the results, chief executive Gigi Levy said: "888 continues to expand its innovative product offering, diversify its geographical footprint with a localised customer experience and extend its multi-channel customer acquisition and retention campaigns.
"Following our exit from the US market in… 2006, the company has worked hard to continue expanding its non-US business and we are especially pleased with the results released today and our performance in recent months."

Debt problems have risen at the beginning of 2007 due to sharp increases in basic living expenses.According to the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), over half of their bureaux reported an increase of 15 per cent in new debt problems in January 2007 from 72,000 in January 2006 to 83,000 last month.
The increase in debt has been attributed to price hikes in basic essentials such as fuel and housing costs.
Teresa Perchard, director of policy for the charity, said: "Our bureaux are reporting a continuing increase in the number of debt problems people need help with.
"She added: "The combination of people experiencing increases in fuel bills, and rising housing costs puts additional pressure on people's finances which were already stretched to the limit.
"The CAB's figures come as the BBC reports that older men have the worst debt problems.
A survey by the Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) shows that men over 60 owe on average £36,940 and the demographic had an average ratio of debt to monthly income of 36:1, making them the worst group for debt problems.Like the CAB, the CCCS also saw an increase in clients.
The 65 per cent growth in its customers was related to awareness of the company and an expansion of its services, it said.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt is scheduled today to brief state officials on what kind of federal help they can expect to implement universal health insurance.

State Department of Health and Hospitals Secretary Fred Cerise said Tuesday he has been given no indication of what federal officials will propose.

Cerise said there has been no communication with federal officials since before Christmas on a state proposal developed with heavy input from Leavitt’s agency.

“I don’t know what they are going to come back with. You would think if we were doing this in a collaborative fashion, we would have had some more give and take,” Cerise said.

Cerise planned to dine with Leavitt at Ruth’s Chris Steak House on Tuesday evening — a dinner arranged by Leavitt’s planners.

Financing of the universal insurance model has been the big question mark. State officials estimate it would cost an extra $500 million in the New Orleans area alone. Statewide implementation would require another $1 billion.

Federal officials want plans to cost about the same as the federal government is now spending on health care.

Today, Leavitt meets with legislators, LSU officials, and civic and business leaders in back-to-back meetings throughout the morning, according to a release from DHHS and others who have been invited to the sessions.

“I hope he’s not coming in on a ‘sales trip’ to sell us something we haven’t seen,” Senate Health and Welfare Committee Chairman Sen. Joe McPherson said.

“We have asked, ‘Give us your plan before you come down here.’ Instead we have showed them ours, but they have not shown us theirs. Yet they are coming to town for all these meetings,” said McPherson, D-Woodworth.

Leavitt is expected “to discuss options for the redesign of the Louisiana health-care system,” according to an HHS news release. He will discuss three models that the state can use as it seeks federal approval for what is called a “demonstration” project, the release said.

State officials will also have a midafternoon session with federal CMS executives on the nuts and bolts of the plan Louisiana submitted in October.

“We will see tomorrow afternoon what they feel like they can do to make this work,” Cerise said Tuesday.

Cerise said Louisiana doesn’t want a plan that destroys the system the state has in place today for taking care of its poor and uninsured that’s rooted in LSU’s charity hospital system.

Leavitt pushed Louisiana to go the private insurance route and implement it statewide rather than in just the New Orleans area.

In his Jan. 23 State of the Union speech last week, President Bush said he wants to help states that are coming up with innovative ways to cover the uninsured. But he gave no details.
