WASHINGTON (AP) ? Appealing for courageous action "before it's too late," President Barack Obama launched a major second-term drive Tuesday to combat climate change and secure a safer planet, bypassing Congress as he sought to set a cornerstone of his legacy.

Abandoning his suit jacket under a sweltering sun at Georgetown University, Obama issued a dire warning about the environment: Temperatures are rising, sea level is climbing, the Arctic ice is melting and the world is doing far too little to stop it. Obama said the price for inaction includes lost lives and homes and hundreds of billions of dollars.

"As a president, as a father and as an American, I'm here to say we need to act," Obama said. "I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that's beyond fixing."

At the core of Obama's plan are new controls on new and existing power plants that emit carbon dioxide ? heat-trapping gases blamed for global warming. The program also will boost renewable energy production on federal lands, increase efficiency standards and prepare communities to deal with higher temperatures. Obama called for the U.S. to be a global leader in the search for solutions.

But Obama's campaign will face extensive obstacles, including a complicated, lengthy process of implementation and the likelihood that the limits on power plants will be challenged in court. Likewise, the instantaneous political opposition that met his plan made clear the difficulty the president will face in seeking broad support.

"There will be legal challenges. No question about that," former EPA Administrator Christie Whitman said in an interview. "It's a program that's largely executive. He doesn't need Congress. What that does, of course, is make them (opponents) madder."

Obama also offered a rare insight into his deliberations on whether to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline, deeming it in America's interests only if it doesn't worsen carbon pollution. Obama has faced intense political pressure from supporters and opponents of the 1,200-mile pipeline from Canada to Texas.

Declaring the scientific debate over climate change and its causes obsolete, Obama mocked those who deny that humans are contributing to the warming of the planet.

"We don't have time for a meeting of the flat-earth society," Obama said.

Obama's announcement followed years of inaction by Congress to combat climate change. A first-term effort by Obama to use a market-based approach called cap-and-trade to lower emissions failed, and in February a newly re-elected Obama issued lawmakers an ultimatum in his State of the Union: "If Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will."

Four months later, impatient environmental activists reveled in the news that Obama was finally taking matters into his own hands, announcing a series of steps that don't require congressional approval.

"This is the change we have been waiting for," said Michael Brune, who runs the Sierra Club, an environmental group. "Today, President Obama has shown he is keeping his word to future generations."

Republicans on both sides of the Capitol dubbed Obama's plan a continuation of his "war on coal" and "war on jobs. The National Association of Manufacturers claimed Obama's proposals would drive up costs. Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito of the coal-heavy state of West Virginia slammed what she called Obama's "tyrannical efforts to bankrupt the coal industry."

"The federal government should leave us the hell alone," said Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, whose agency handles Texas' environment and energy markets.

Even industry groups that have been friendly to Obama and supportive of his climate goals, such as the Edison Electric Institute, which represents power plants, signaled their apprehension by calling for "achievable compliance limits and deadlines."

Obama said the same arguments have been used in the past when the U.S. has taken other steps to protect the environment.

"That's what they said every time," Obama said. "And every time, they've been wrong."

Obama broke his relative silence on Keystone XL, explicitly linking the project to global warming for the first time in a clear overture to environmental activists who want the pipeline nixed. The pipeline would carry carbon-intensive oil from Canadian tar sands to the Texas Gulf Coast refineries and has sparked an intense partisan fight.

"Our national interest would be served only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution," Obama said.

The White House indicated Obama was referring to overall, net emissions that take into account what would happen under alternative scenarios. A State Department report this year said other methods to transport the oil ? like rail, trucks and barges ? could yield even higher emissions.

"The standard the president set today should lead to speedy approval of the Keystone pipeline," said Brendan Buck, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

Announcing he will allow more renewable energy projects on public lands, Obama set a goal to power the equivalent of 6 million homes by 2020 from sources like wind and solar, effectively doubling the current capacity. The set of actions also includes a new set of fuel efficiency standards for heavy-duty trucks, more aggressive efficiency targets for buildings and appliances, and $8 billion in federal loan guarantees to spur innovation.

By far the most sweeping element ? and the one likely to cause the most consternation ? is new limits on carbon dioxide pollution from power plants.

The administration has already proposed rules for new coal-fired plants, but they have been delayed amid industry concerns about the cost. A presidential memorandum Obama issued Tuesday directs the EPA to revise and reissue the new plant rules by September, then finalize them "in a timely fashion."

The key prize for environmental groups comes in Obama's instruction that the EPA propose rules for the nation's existing plants by June 2014, then finalize them by June 2015 and implement them by June 2016 ? just as the presidential campaign to replace Obama will be in full swing.

Rather than issue a specific, uniform standard that plants must meet, the EPA will work with states, power sector leaders and other parties to develop plans that meet the needs of individual states and also achieve the objective of reducing emissions.

From tiny to massive: Mammal size evolution explained

June 25, 2013 ? Scientists have added another piece to the evolutionary puzzle to explain why certain mammal families evolved to be very large, while others remained tiny.

In research published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, an international group of scientists including Monash University's Dr Alistair Evans proposed a new theory explaining the diversity of mammal sizes -- from the Etruscan shrew which weighs around two grams, to the blue whale which clocks in at almost 200 tonnes. Surprisingly, baby weight relative to adult body mass is key.

Dr Evans, of the Monash School of Biological Sciences, said size impacts on all aspects of an animal's physiology and anatomy, and the roles it can play in ecosystems.

"Size is fundamental to your life and your body -- how fast your heart beats, how much food you need to eat, and how you move," Dr Evans said.

Following the extinction of the dinosaurs, mammals flourished and their size increased dramatically. The study examined the maximum size of groups including whales, elephants, primates and rodents over this period to examine the constraints on size.

The researchers found that species that matured more quickly and produced a larger mass of young each year relative to body weight were able to evolve to a larger maximum size. Further, they are likely to reach that size in fewer generations.

This high rate of biological production is vital, regardless of whether many small young or just one large offspring are born in a year.

Dr Evans said whales were an excellent example of the theory.

"The blue whale is the largest animal to have evolved, even larger than dinosaurs, and it reached this size at the fastest rates we recorded. Key to this success is that they produce large young that mature quickly, reaching around 30 metres in eight to 10 years," Dr Evans said.

Lead author of the study, Dr Jordan Okie from Arizona State University, said primates were at the opposite end of the spectrum.

"Primates have a low production rate and have evolved very slowly. They have never got bigger than about 500 kilograms," Dr Okie said.

The study also linked maximum size to mortality rate. Because larger animals tend to breed less frequently than smaller animals, if the mortality rate doubles, the maximum size is predicted to be 16 times smaller.

"This is a really surprising finding," said Dr Evans.

"It points to why many of the large animals went extinct after the last Ice Age, as changing climates probably increase mortality rates. Large animals are also at high risk of extinction in modern environments because it takes a long time for their population to rebound from disasters."

In the future, this work will be extended to help explain how extinction risk may be reduced in the face of climate change.

Consider a text for teen suicide prevention and intervention, research suggests

Adolescents commonly use social media to reach out when they are depressed

COLUMBUS, Ohio Teens and young adults are making use of social networking sites and mobile technology to express suicidal thoughts and intentions as well as to reach out for help, two studies suggest.

An analysis of about one month of public posts on MySpace revealed 64 comments in which adolescents expressed a wish to die. Researchers conducted a follow-up survey of young adults and found that text messages were the second-most common way for respondents to seek help when they felt depressed. Talking to a friend or family member ranked first.

These young adults also said they would be least likely to use suicide hotlines or online suicide support groups the most prevalent strategy among existing suicide-prevention initiatives.

The findings of the two studies suggest that suicide prevention and intervention efforts geared at teens and young adults should employ social networking and other types of technology, researchers say.

"Obviously this is a place where adolescents are expressing their feelings," said Scottye Cash, associate professor of social work at The Ohio State University and lead author of the studies. "It leads me to believe that we need to think about using social media as an intervention and as a way to connect with people."

The research team is in the process conducting a study similar to the MySpace analysis by examining young people's Twitter messages for suicidal content. The researchers would like to analyze Facebook, but too few of the profiles are public, Cash said.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among youths between the ages of 10 and 24 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Cash and colleagues published the MySpace research in a recent issue of the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking. They presented the survey findings at a meeting of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

Cash's interest in this phenomenon was sparked in part by media reports about teenagers using social media to express suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

"We wanted to know: Is that accurate, or are these isolated incidents? We found that in a short period of time, there were dozens of examples of teens with suicidal thoughts using MySpace to talk to their friends," she said.

The researchers performed a content analysis of public profiles on MySpace. They downloaded profile pages of a 41,000-member sample of 13- to 24-year-olds from March 3-4, 2008, and again in December 2008, this time with comments included. By developing a list of phrases to identify potential suicidal thoughts or behaviors, the researchers narrowed 2 million downloaded comments to 1,083 that contained suggestions of suicidality, and used a manual process to eventually arrive at 64 posts that were clear discussions of suicide.

"There's a lot of drama and angst in teenagers so in a lot of cases, they might say something 'will kill them' but not really mean it. Teasing out that hyperbole was an intense process," Cash said. Song lyrics also made up a surprising number of references to suicide, she added.

The three most common phrases within the final sample were "kill myself" (51.6 percent), "want to die" (15.6 percent) and "suicide" (14.1 percent). Though in more than half of the posts the context was unknown, Cash and colleagues determined that 42 percent of the posts referred to problems with family or other relationships including 15.6 percent that were about break-ups and 6.3 percent were attributable to mental health problems or substance abuse.

Very few of the posts identified the method the adolescents would consider in a suicide attempt, but 3 percent mentioned guns, 1.6 percent referred to a knife and 1.6 percent combined being hit by a car and a knife.

With this information in hand, Cash and co-investigator Jeffrey Bridge of the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital surveyed young people to learn more about how they convey their depression and suicidal thoughts. Bridge also co-authored the MySpace paper.

Collaborating with Research Now, a social marketing firm, the researchers obtained a sample of survey participants through a company that collects consumer opinions. The final sample included 1,089 participants age 18-24 with an average age of almost 21, half male and half female, and 70.6 percent white.

They were asked about their history of suicidal thoughts and attempts, general Internet and technology use, social networking activity and whether they had symptoms of depression.

More than a third reported they have had suicidal thoughts; of those, 37.5 percent had attempted suicide, resulting in a 13 percent rate of suicide attempts among the entire sample. That figure compares to the 8 percent of U.S. high-school students who reported in a 2011 CDC national survey that they had attempted suicide at least once in the previous year. According to that survey, almost 16 percent of youths had seriously considered suicide and almost 13 percent had made a suicide plan in the previous 12 months.

Results of Cash's survey showed that respondents would favor talking to a friend or family member when they were depressed, followed by sending texts, talking on the phone, using instant messaging and posting to a social networking site. Less common responses included talking to a health-care provider, posting to a blog, calling a suicide prevention hotline and posting to an online suicide support group.

Response trends suggested, though, that participants with suicidal thoughts or attempts were more willing to use technology specifically the phone, instant messaging, texting and social networking to reach out compared to those with no suicidal history. In light of this trend, the fact that the participants were active online consumers might have contributed to the relatively high percentage of suicide attempts among the study sample. In addition, the survey also asked about lifetime suicide history, not just recent history, Cash noted.

The survey also showed that this age group looks to the Internet for information on sensitive topics, and again suggested that young adults of both sexes with a history of suicidal thoughts or attempts consulted the Internet for information about topics that are difficult to discuss specifically drug use, sex, depression, eating disorders or other mental health concerns. Females with past suicide attempts used social networking the most, according to the results.

"It appears that our methods of reaching out to adolescents and young adults is not actually meeting them where they are. If, as adults, we're saying, 'this is what we think you need' and they tell us they're not going to use it, should we keep pumping resources into suicide hotlines?" Cash said. "We need to find new ways to connect with them and help them with whatever they're struggling with, or, in other words, meet them where they are in ways that make sense to them."

Some Internet-based resources exist that could serve as models for new suicide prevention interventions, she noted. They include teen.smokefree.gov and http://www.thatsnotcool.com.

The survey research was supported by an Ohio State University College of Social Work Seed Grant.

Additional co-authors of the MySpace paper include Michael Thelwall of the University of Wolverhampton in the United Kingdom, Sydney Peck of Elmira College and Jared Ferrell of the University of Akron.

Actor Paul Giamatti joins 'Downton Abbey' as playboy brother

LONDON (Reuters) - American actor Paul Giamatti is joining the cast of the British award-winning stately home drama "Downton Abbey", starting with the Christmas episode, the show's producers said on Monday.

Carnival Films, a division of Comcast's NBCUniversal, and British television channel ITV said Giamatti would play Cora Crawley's maverick, playboy brother Harold in the Christmas episode.

Giamatti, known for films including "Sideways" and "Cinderella Man", will be star alongside Shirley MacLaine and the regular cast members in the drama that won a Golden Globe for Best Miniseries or Television Film in 2011.

He is just one of a list of new cast members to star in an eight-part fourth series that includes New Zealand opera singer Kiri Te Kanawa and follows the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their staff.

"We're excited that Paul Giamatti will be joining us on Downton to play Cora's brother Harold, the rather free-spirited uncle to Mary and Edith," Carnival Films' Managing Director Gareth Neame said in a statement.

"We can't wait to see him work alongside Shirley MacLaine, who are both sure to upset the Grantham's apple cart in this year's Christmas Day episode."

The new series will see the return of MacLaine as Martha Levinson alongside series regulars Hugh Bonneville, Maggie Smith, Michelle Dockery and Jim Carter.

In Britain, series three of "Downton Abbey" that was created by British screenwriter Julian Fellowes was the most watched drama of 2012, averaging 11.9 million viewers.

In the United States, shown on PBS, "Downton Abbey" was the highest-ranked non-U.S. series.

Swarovski to launch crystal-studded devices under Sugar brand in July?

Ah, what better way to start off the week than by deciphering a cryptic message. Earlier today we received the above image from a mysterious company called Sugar, and that's all there really is: some crystals in a candy wrapper, the tag line "The sweetest thing that you've never tasted before" (the Chinese counterpart implies "irresistible sweetness"), plus the words "July. Austria. Wattens. Unlock." along the bottom.

As it turns out, Wattens is where the famed Swarovski is based, so we're going to assume this has something to do with the Austrian crystal maker. As for the "unlock" part, perhaps Swarovski is going to launch its very own bejeweled smartphones or even tablets under the Sugar brand next month? Whatever they are, hopefully they won't be as tacky as what we've seen in the past. The sweetness would be a bonus, too.

Calvin Klein man for next summer an urban dreamer

MILAN (AP) ? The Calvin Klein man for next summer is an urban dreamer, contemplating his horizons and even the cosmos.

The collection for next summer presented Sunday on the second day of Milan Fashion Week keeps men in their comfort zone, with a solid focus on basics in reassuring blues. There are bomber jackets, suits with cuffed pants and classic shirts.

Designer Italo Zucchelli offers up monochromatic looks for next summer in blues: wake-up royal, soothing sky and down-to-business Navy. Classic double-pocket snap-close shirts are paired with same-color pants that cuff at the ankle. They in turn are worn with a shoe of the matching color and same-color socks ? none of the black socks seen on other runways.

Bomber jackets come in white with classic blue vertical stripes, perfect for a day at the ballpark.

On the more daring end of the spectrum, sweatshirts are made of a funky mix of fabrics: One had a neoprene effect, another was chunky knit and finally there were cotton panels. Together, they create a harmonious clash fitting of the heavy metal riffs that down along the runway.

Wrapping up the look: a series of sloping shoulder shirts and sweatshirts with prints of the sky in all its glorious phases; a daytime blue sky filled with fluffy clouds, another at sunset and a star-filled night.

Each includes a door-shaped panel. Some show another sky ? it's unclear whether it's a forecast or the past. Another is dark, and open for interpretation.

The collection is for the urban dweller, one whose view of the sky may be otherwise crowded by buildings. He of course would have little need for shorts as active-wear, and there are none in this collection.

Concert review: Barenaked Ladies can't capitalize on nostalgia in ...

(Paul Fraughton | The Salt Lake Tribune) Ed Robertson of The Barenaked Ladies performs at USANA Amphitheater on Thursday, June 20, 2013.

Concert review: Barenaked Ladies can?t capitalize on nostalgia in Utah summer tour stop

Last Summer on Earth tour ? Guster and Ben Folds Five share the bill.

USANA Amphitheatre on Thursday was filled with ?90s nostalgia brought on by the music of Guster and Ben Folds Five. But for headliner Barenaked Ladies, the absence of Steven Page marred the band?s usual witty interplay and fun-loving improvisation with each other and the audience filled with throngs of young professionals and their children.

Each band billed on the Last Summer on Earth tour played for about an hour, bringing back memories of the time when the Internet was still in swaddling clothes and the innocence we enjoyed in a pre-9/11 world.

That sense of carefree fun resonated throughout Guster?s members ? the hand-played bongos of Brian Rosenworcel, the guitar work of Adam Gardner and the croonings of lead singer Ryan Miller. Their jeans may have been skinnier and their baseball caps truckier, but the trio performed classics such as "Barrel of a Gun," "Satellite," and "Airport Song" with the same engaging pizzazz that has drawn audiences for two decades.

They battled the 7:30 p.m. blaze of USANA?s west-facing stage with the help of sunglasses donated by audience members, and kept their 45-minute set rolling without much time to talk with the crowd, other than to invite members to stand and dance.

Ben Folds Five, who got back together late last year after a dozen-year hiatus, smashed through piano-heavy hits such as "Song for the Dumped," "Brick," and even threw in Ben Folds? solo single "Landed." To the delight of the crowd, the group ended with "Army," a song the trio didn?t play at its Jan. 25 Las Vegas show that many die-hard Utah fans attended before the June show was announced.

Many in the crowd sported Ben Folds Five T-Shirts from years ago, but still were able to sing along to every word of new songs on the album "The Sound of the Life of the Mind" such as "Do It Anyway" and "Erase Me." Folds? lyrics and music kept the continuity of his previous works, and the trio?s performance felt like old friends picking up a conversation as if only seconds ? and not years ? had passed.

The same couldn?t be said for Barenaked Ladies.

Lead singer Ed Robertson brought his charm and wit in his freestyle rap about Hogle Zoo and the Montage hotel in Park City, but it was a quick spark that quickly dissipated. The nights of improvisation and banter between he and former bandmate Page, who departed in 2009, sadly are gone, and the band ? and audience ? suffered for it.

Barenaked Ladies always has communicated its deeper emotional core through humor, but both were lost without the comedic interplay the Canadian pop stars were known for in their first two decades. Even classics such as "One Week" and "If I had a Million Dollars" lost some of their charm without it Thursday night.

New songs from the album "Grinning Streak" ? such as the catchy "Boomerang" and the uplifting nerd anthem "Odds Are" ? show promise for a whole new sound as they celebrate their 25th year performing. But the now-four piece band can?t conjure up the joys of the past because a piece of its soul is simply missing.

story continues below

It was a bittersweet end to what was otherwise a joyful trip down memory lane.

Moritz Legal Information Blog: Copyright, Descendible Property, and ...

Copyright is property, the owner of which can transfer it by will. In other words, you could inherit the copyrights in the paintings of your great great uncle Van Gogh, even though Uncle Van Gogh may bequeath the actual paintings to Cousin Mildred. The rights can also be transferred to an entity, like a nonprofit or a corporation.

This can present problems (both legal and emotional) when the new copyright owner licenses the works in a way someone else (e.g., a family member) does not like. For example, if you authorize Company A to market their guns and cigarettes using Uncle Van Gogh's paintings, Cousin Mildred may be devastated, but there may not be much she can do about it.

Such are the issues with the estate of Anne Frank and her diary. For years, parties have been fighting over her legacy through copyright litigation and other legal disputes, and the issue has arisen again. For a brief history, check out the following stories:

Please Don't Ruin Instagram With Crappy Videos

An Instagram photo carries a certain artificial heft to it. There's a sense of importance, or at least permanence, to the photos we post to these accounts that you don't get from tweets or even status updates on Facebook. Instagram isn't naturally this way; it's developed this weight because everything on Instagram is beautiful. And with the addition of video, we've got a wonderful opportunity to make the platform more interesting?but we have to be careful.

One of the great joys of Instagram until now has been the lazy scroll. Fire up the app, and just swipe and swipe and swipe and passively take it all in while the colors and shapes sail past your eyes. You pause every so often to like something or make a comment, but the pleasure is never interrupted. The problem of video was apparent when, immediately after getting video, people started posting videos of their desks (a phenomenon we also saw with Vine).

Video is a different medium than photography, and if we start taking videos on Instagram the way we have for YouTube, Snapchat, Vine, et al, our feeds will become polluted with crap. Because unlike those other services, there's already something in place that we like a lot.

Here are a few simple tips to keep the quality high.

Don't broadcast, curate

People have been posting videos to the Internet forever, and the last thing we need is just another place to post videos of your view out the window while you're driving down the highway or waiting in line at the post office. Instagram is everyone's prettiest corner of the internet, free from the clutter and noise of other areas, generally just more beautiful and thoughtful. When you go back to your Instagram history it should be a museum-grade gallery of awesome.

Which is easy to say! But the message, basically, is to treat videos with just as much scrutiny as you'd use for an image on Instagram.

15 seconds is, like, an Internet eternity

This is critical. Let's try to keep our videos concise. You don't need to use the full 15-seconds just because you can. It's tempting to just sit there and record and record. Think about the terse eloquence of gifs. Don't waste my time. You don't want someone to sit there for 15 seconds and then feel pissed off.

Only post things that can lick themselves

It's a well established fact that sunsets, food, and animals are the ideal subject matter for Instagram photos. This is not the case for video. If I'm deliberately watching a video on the Internet, there better be at least the possibility that whatever I'm looking will at some point be licking something else or licking itself. If not, I'm not interested in looking at for more than one frame. That means only take videos of pets. And maybe people. Possible exceptions for food items that are at risk of exploding, collapsing, or contain moving pieces.

Movie Review: Pandora's Promise Offers an Argument for a Nuclear ...

There?s a strange way that nuclear power is introduced in Robert Stone?s new documentary, Pandora?s Promise, presented through a series of interviews with hardline environmentalists who express their support of the energy source like Catholics confessing sins in a confessional. All of the subjects were once strong opponents of nuclear, because, as for most environmental activists, nuclear falls on a list of no-nos that mainstream environmentalism refuses to accept. The negatives are clear: the massive fallout after meltdowns and the problem of radioactive waste.

The positioning of the nuclear debate with the context of a penitential environmentalism limits the documentary?s potential audience. This feels like a movie for left-leaning advocates who may be suspicious of the handful of their colleagues who have over to the darkside of nuclear. To win these people over, Stone walks through the pros and cons ? and then tries to debunk the cons. The meltdowns aren?t?that bad, the documentary argues. Radiation is actually everywhere, it goes on to say, so why are we worried? And Nuclear energy has nothing to do with nuclear weapons. The connection was just some fearmongering that dates back to the 1950s ? and was funded by big, bad oil companies.

Like most films of this ilk, Pandora?s Promise proves informative and frustrating. It was interesting to learn that the dirty water-based reactors that have melted down and produce lots of waste proliferated because of a misdirected marketing scheme, and that there is now technology to produce much cleaner reactors that reuse their waste. Less convincing were the Geiger counter glamour shots, a hand and a yellow meter that pops up at locations around the world, showing that radioactive readings at Chenobyl are on par with the radioactive sand on some Brazilian beach. Maybe so, but I?ll risk being called a deluded product of anti-nuclear marketing before I take a Euro trip to the site of the Ukrainian nuclear disaster.

That said, Pandora?s Promise raises some pertinent objections to the conventional environmental ideology, and like another fringe environmentalist film Cool It by the controversial Bjorn Lomborg, it presents a solution to global warming that is unpopular with traditional environmental platforms and ?yet could actually have an effect on energy consumption that comes close to the scale of the climate problem (unlike, say, solar or wind power). For that, Pandora?s Promise should be heard. But for the same reasons, like Cool It, it will likely be ignored.

Get Cash Loans: How to Finance Your Next Car With No Money ...

Financing a car usually requires a substantial down payment - sometimes as much as twenty percent of the total purchase price of the car. Most people do not have the means to come up with such a significant amount of money at one time, and may even have bad credit. There are lenders, however, who specialize in bad credit car loan financing - and can put you behind the wheel of your car now.

Lenders Who Want Your Business

Bad credit borrowers of automobile loans are typically rejected by many lending institutions and credit unions. But there is a growing number of lenders who have decided to specialize in bad credit automobile financing because these lenders recognize that any car loan has collateral attached to it - the car itself. This means that your bad credit automobile loan servicer can place a lien against your car until its paid for, which in a sense, guarantees their payment or return of the car. These lenders know they cannot lose by loaning you money to buy your next car, regardless of your credit.

Cash Loans Online, cash payday loan, cash payday loans online,

Two Types Of Bad Credit Auto Loans

Your bad credit automobile loan can be either secured or unsecured. The secured bad credit automobile loan is secured by a lien that you allow the lender to place on an item of value - such as your home. The lien will be released once you have repaid the lender in full. The unsecured bad credit automobile loan has no collateral associated with it, and is a bit harder to get. The lender is relying on your personal credibility to be repaid. In either instance, the lender will become a lien holder on the car title, and the lien will not be removed until you have completely paid the car or other vehicle off.

When dealing with your bad credit auto loan servicer, never agree to make a monthly payment amount that you cannot reasonably afford. This will only result in late payments and worsening your credit score. Be honest with your lender and let them know other financial commitments that you have - they will work with you to come up with terms that suit your budget.

These lenders specialize in helping borrowers just like you. Once you are paying on your bad credit automobile loan, be certain to inform the lender if something comes up and you are going to be late with a payment. Oftentimes, lenders will work with you to keep the loan current by putting the payment at the end of the term of repayment. This will cost extra interest, but will keep you from doing more damage to your credit.

Online Lenders Are Seeking You

You can find greatly reduced interest rates on bad credit automobile loans online via the Internet. There are many lenders doing business with bad credit borrowers online, so there is an increased level of competition that you can benefit from. The fact is that some of these lenders are actively seeking borrowers just like you!
