Ah, it's been the most asked question I've received in this low interest rate, lost cost housing market.
Can I buy a new home if I already own a home?
Well… The simple answer is YES, but just like anytime you are making a large purchase, the lender, wants to make sure you have the capability to repay the money you are borrowing.
Let's take a look at a few common questions in regards to buying a new home, whether it be for your new primary residence, or as an investment or even a 2nd (vacation) home.
Question #1… I own a home that I currently live in. I want to keep that home and rent it out. Can I do this, and if so, how much do I need to put down on the new home?
Answer #1… Yes, you can keep your current home as a rental property and purchase a new primary residence, as long as you financially qualify to make the payments on BOTH your current home and the new home you want to purchase. Down payment options are the same as any purchase of a primary residence, with as little as 3 ½% down when using FHA financing.
Question #2… I have a renter lined up to rent my current house once I move out. Can I use this income to qualify?
Answer #2… No, you cannot use that rental income to qualify. When moving from one primary residence to a new primary residence, you cannot use rental income on the rented out property for two years. This rental income must be proven with two years of files tax returns.
Question #3… I see some steals out there. I want to buy something as an investment and rent it out. Can I use potential rent for qualifying purposes?
Answer #3… The answer is YES AND NO. If this is the first rental property you are purchasing, you will need to qualify for the entire new payment, including all your current debts.
If you currently have other rental properties and have a two year history of this via filed tax returns of being a landlord, you can use potential rental income to qualify.
Question #4… What are the down payment requirements for an investment property?
Answer #4… You can purchase an investment property with as little as 15% down.
Question #5…I saw a great home on the river is a different state. What are the requirements to purchase this home?
Answer #5… This type of purchase would be considered a 2nd home, or vacation home. You would need to qualify for the new purchase along with any current debts you have. The minimum down payment required on 2nd/vacation homes is 25%.
Hope this helps get the ball rolling for your new purchase!

Head Coach Matt Peck...
Matt Peck is in his fourth season at the helm of the Blue Raider volleyball program.
Last season, Peck continued to build on the success of the program in 2005, leading the Blue Raiders to a NCAA Tournament berth and a first round win on the road at Louisville after winning the Sun Belt Tournament. The team fell to No. 18 Ohio State in the second round but posted a 27-8 overall record while finishing conference play in a three-way tie for first with a record of 14-3. The win in game one against OSU snapped a 30-game winning streak for the Buckeyes.
Middle Tennessee picked up its second All-American honor under Peck in sophomore Ashley Adams. Adams earned the honor after being named First Team All-Conference, Most Valuable Player of the Sun Belt Tournament, and All-South Region.
In just his second year, Peck led the Blue Raiders to their first Sun Belt Tournament Championship match appearance since joining the league. Middle Tennessee's No. 2 seed in the tournament in 2005 and 10-2 record in Sun Belt matches is the best mark in school history, and the Blue Raider's 28 wins is a tie for second-most wins in school history.
With Peck at the helm, Middle Tennessee garnered its first All-American when Andressa Lyra was named Honorable Mention All-American in 2005. He also helped Alicia Lemau'u to a Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year award. It was also during Peck's watch that Ashley Adams became the first Blue Raider volleyball player in school history to be named AVCA National Player of the Week.
With 23 years of coaching experience, Peck has an overall career record of 615-222. Prior to arriving at Middle Tennessee in February 2004, Peck spent nine seasons at the University of North Alabama.

CMLS Staff and Volunteers Help Prevent Homelessness
According to an updated study released by the Wilder Foundation in March of 2010, the number of homeless people in Minnesota has risen sharply compared to an earlier Wilder Foundation Report in 2006. Among other causes, the economic recession has created a new unemployed population and impacted their ability to find or pay for affordable housing.
Message from the Executive Director
On behalf of our staff and clients, we thank our volunteer attorneys for donating your talents and time to make the ideal of "equal justice under law" a reality for our clients. In 2010, CMLS continued its advocacy on behalf of families vulnerable to abuse, neglect and other major economic disruptions in their lives. CMLS staff successfully obtained many protective orders and divorces for victims of domestic violence.

New Castle News
We're all in this together, which is the only good thing about Pennsylvania's massive pension problem.
The state's two pension plans that cover public school and state employees has a current unfunded liability of about $39 billion and is expected to grow by about another $22 billion in the next six to seven years.
How the state got into the mess is similar to that of the city of New Castle and other cities in Pennsylvania. Insufficient funds were put into the plans over the years, plus Sept. 11 and the 2008 stock market crash didn't help.
There are two possible ways that have been suggested to begin paying off the debt. One is raising more revenue or cutting benefits that have already been earned. The Patriot-News in Harrisburg notes that attempting to do the latter would end up in the courts, with precedent being on the side of the workers.
And then there is Gov. Tom Corbett, who opposes increasing taxes. The alternative to that would be a cut in programs to solve the pension crisis.
Besides employee contributions, money for the pension funds comes from two sources: Local school districts and the state. However, the state established both pension systems, the first in 1917 and the second in 1923.
Someone — which I would suspect resides in Harrisburg or members of the Legislature — may suggest that if it means more revenue, then the state and the school districts should share the burden equally. I disagree.
While school districts may be at fault for not putting enough into the one fund over the years, the fact is that the state dictates the amount of money that goes into the fund. Plus, the state established the defined benefit plan. Therefore, if the answer is increasing taxes, then the state should pick up most of the cost.
Furthermore, raising school property taxes would place a bigger burden on individual taxpayers than would an increase in a state tax. The state naturally has a broader tax base, meaning individuals would not only pay less, but also pay equally.
The alternative would be cutting programs. Mentioned as the likely targets are the usual suspects — welfare and education. But why should those who had nothing to do with creating the problem be the scapegoats?

Since becoming club coordinator of the Columbus Club of the Knights of Columbus, Michael Puhr said he has strived to bring different entertainment choices to its members as well as the community at large.
"We try to bring in entertainment that you would not normally find at the David S. Palmer Arena or other places," explained Puhr.
On Feb. 9, the Knights of Columbus will stage its first Mardi Gras party. The party will include a band new to Danville as well as food including jambalaya, pulled pork sliders, beads and a 50/50 drawing.
Puhr said that since becoming the club coordinator, he has thought of doing a Mardi Gras party, so when the Champaign-based music group Seventeen Sisters dropped off a demo CD along with a business card last summer, things began to come together.
"I listened to their music and learned something of their background," Puhr said. "They seemed like the perfect group for our first Mardi Gras party. They are from Mississippi and they are Catholic."
While there are not actually 17 sisters, there are five equally talented sisters who perform together.
Sarah, the oldest of the five Scarbrough sisters, who acts as spokesperson for the group, started singing at a funeral at the age of 9.
"Growing up in the South, I began singing Southern gospel music," Sarah said. "I began singing at funerals, weddings, county fairs and festivals."
As her younger sisters grew up, they began to join Sarah in performing, leading to the formation of their first group, the Ladybugs.
"We performed everywhere we could, shopping malls, summer festivals, anywhere," Sarah said. "We were asked to perform at a fair in New York, which led to us performing a lot in upstate New York, Connecticut and Florida."
The band eventually adopted the name Seventeen Sisters.
"We would show up with a bunch of girlfriends and people would ask how many sisters there are and we would say 'about 17,' so the name came about," Sarah said.
The band came to relocate to Champaign from Mississippi in 2007 as a result of being displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
"Actually we were homeless for about a year and a half," Sarah said. "We even lived at the Kickapoo State Park campgrounds for a while."
The group settled in Champaign because an older sister and aunt already lived there.
"Champaign is such a great music town," Sarah said. "There are so many places that have live music where we can perform plus we are not too far from Chicago, Indianapolis, Memphis and Nashville."
The group has performed at places such as Cowboy Monkey, High Dive and Memphis on Main in Champaign and regularly perform in numerous Chicago clubs.
Sarah describes the band's music as edgy driving rock and roll, with a slight touch of pop.
"Our music is about socially conscience topics like homelessness, poverty, hunger and other types of social and environmental issues," Sarah said.
The sisters, who are Sarah, Gracie, Angel, Faith and Hannah, perform music they have written themselves.
"We do perform a few cover songs but most of it is our own music," Sarah said.
The sisters manage themselves, doing their own booking, marketing and public relations work. The sisters have a younger brother who does help them with set up and is currently learning to play music. The sisters also have an older brother and sister who are not involved in the music business.
"Our music is a source of joy and we love to share with others," Sarah said. "It is important in our life and in our relationship to God."
Doors at the Knights of Columbus will open at 6 p.m. Feb. 9 with food available for $5 per plate and the music will start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 each or you can purchase a table that seats eight for $80. Tickets can be purchased by stopping by the club at 310 Bryan Ave. or calling the club at 443-0032.
Tickets for the Knights of Columbus Mardi Gras party can be purchased at the club, 310 Bryan Ave., or by calling 443-0032. The tickets are $10 per person or $80 for a table of eight. Tickets also will be available at the door. Food will available at $5 per plate. Visit http://www.seventeensisters.com to hear a sample of the band's music.

Wendy's has breakfast, bro.
I wrote a four word letter.
Would I try Wendy's breakfast? No I wouldn't. Why? Just the idea of Wendy's having breakfast kinda turns me off. I'm not a big fast food person, but I do like McDonalds breakfast. The egg mcmuffins (with ham) are good. Last time I had one of those was 2 years ago. Subway's breakfast subs are pretty good. Last time I had one of them was about a year ago. Fast food not really my thing.
Unfortunately I have never been at a Wendy's, so have nothing to say, so I better leave, except that I probably wouldn't get breakfast there because as far as I know it's a fast food place, and breakfast in fast food places...the thought makes me feel a bit sick.
I wanna see movies of my dreams
Breakfast at Tiffany's.

The Center for Public Policy Priorities, a left-leaning political think tank, released a study showing that in 2013 the industry raised it's fees by 12 percent, collecting over $1.3 million from Texans.
Don Baylor, a senior policy Analyst with the center, said that Texans between 2012 and 2013 paid more in fees for loans using a paycheck or car title as collateral.
"So we saw these loans become more frequent and we also saw them become much longer in terms, which means Texans are paying a lot more for these products," Baylor said.
Tomorrow morning the Texas Railroad Commission considers whether or not a groundwater district has the standing to protest the permitting of waste water disposal wells. The commission is tasked with regulating the oil and gas industry.
Musical sounds from centuries long ago are coming to San Antonio in the form of theAustin Baroque Orchestra Chamber Players, though you may remember them having come to San Antonio last fall as Settecento.
"We'll be playing at St. John's Lutheran Church downtown on Sunday at 3 p.m. and we'll be playing classical-era chamber music," said Billy Traylor, Austin Baroque Orchestra's artistic director.
Members of a Texas House committee are moving forward with the impeachment of University of Texas Regent Wallace Hall by drawing up the official articles of impeachment. Hall informed UT's Board of Regents he would not be resigning from his post.
The Texas House Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations voted 7-1 in favor of impeaching Hall. This week only those who voted for impeachment will be able to weigh in on what codes Hall violated, which will be the official articles of impeachment.
Immigration reform goes to the House floor this week, and San Antonio Congressman Joaquín Castro has introduced an amendment to the next military budget bill that would give students with Deferred Action Childhood Arrival (DACA) status the same rights given to many international students who apply to military academies.
Tommy Adkisson vacated the Precinct 4 Bexar County Commissioners Court seat to run for county judge. Adkisson has held the seat since 1998 and it will be filled by one of four contenders in the runoff; two from each party.
On the Republican ticket are a pair of mayors from two of the county's cities: Alan Baxter, the mayor of Windcrest, and Tim Wilson, the mayor of Kirby.
2,924 San Antonio citizens were bitten by an animal, from mostly dogs, last year. The city tied for second worst in the nation. Over 25,000 dogs were hit and killed by cars, and 29,000 were put in the pound. It seems San Antonio has an inexhaustible supply of dogs and the city estimates there are 150,000 strays here.
The city is pushing responsible ownership practices this week as they raise awareness of dog bites. What can be done about our city before it becomes the land of the roaming dogs?
An internationally-renown pianist returns soon to the Alamo City. I asked Eduardo Delgado about his upcoming appearance here.
"Well I'm very excited about it because the first time I went to San Antonio I was a judge of the competition," he said.
He was here as a San Antonio International Piano Competition judge.
"We had a wonderful time and we listened to wonderful talents," said Delgado.
Every three years the piano competition brings young talent together for a rigorous competition. On this visit though, Delgado has a different focus.
If San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro leaves his position for a post in President Barack Obama's cabinet, city council will then select an interim successor from one of their own.
Will it be someone with the most experience? Could it be someone who has a lot of background with policy?
The answer may include a variety of those qualifications. But whatever they are, it won't matter much to residents.
Political consultant Kelton Morgan said the members will work that out.
Just before start of this week, Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, who is supporting Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst's bid for re-election in the runoff, leaked documents detailing state Sen. Dan Patrick's treatment for depression during two separate hospitals stays 30 years ago.
Professor Mark Jones, the head of the political science department at Rice University in Houston, said Dewhurst and his associates have made the impossible, possible.
"It's taken Dan Patrick, who is not especially a sympathetic figure, and turns into him into a sympathetic figure," Jones said.

Eamonn Fingleton, Contributor
A sharp eye on media bias, official propaganda, and globaloney.
The horsemeat discovered on British dinner tables last week was (1) supplied by a Swedish frozen foods marketer that had (2) outsourced meal preparation to a French company that (3) operates a factory in Luxembourg that (4) uses meat imported, (5) via a Dutch agent, (6) from Romania. At least that is the BBC's version of the byzantine sequence (other versions differ in minor details). What is clear is that the affair has thrown another tanker-load of gasoline on the British people's already incandescent rage at the European Union (EU) and its role in undermining their sovereignty.
Although the American press has been slow to sense the historic significance of recent events in the UK, British exasperation with the EU has the potential to shake the latter-day world order. A symptom of the strains is that the UK's pro-EU Prime Minister, David Cameron, has felt obliged to promise the British electorate a straight in-out referendum on British membership of the EU. Cameron probably doesn't realize it yet but he may just have touched off a geopolitical avalanche.
Certainly his referendum is a destabilizing – if in my view highly welcome – move at a time when the world economic order has rarely seemed more precarious. That order is founded on an overtly anti-democratic commitment to globalism on the part of the foreign policy elites of the UK and United States. Yet globalism is not working and the evidence of its failure mounts daily. The UK's horsemeat woes aside, the United States has plenty of reasons to wonder about globalism's impact on the American way of life. Just in the last few weeks alone the American public has awakened to the reality that:
(1) Boeing, a company that subsumes within it virtually all the once-independent corporations that put a man on the moon in 1969, has become disastrously hollowed out, and
(2) the New York Times's computer system has been repeatedly hacked by the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
As history has repeatedly shown, the course of international politics is a notable exemplar of chaos theory. Just as the flapping of a butterfly's wings in a Brazilian rain forest may trigger a hurricane in Texas, one embattled British politician's narrowly partisan maneuvering – which is what Cameron's referendum is all about – could quite possibly unleash transformative change around the world. Certainly this would not be the first time that large global consequences have flowed from narrowly-based initial developments. It was the intervention of a diminutive pistol-wielding Serb nationalist, Gavrilo Princip, that set off World War I. For a more recent, if similarly calamitous, manifestation of the power of chaos theory, consider how different the world would be today had not a devout, soft-spoken Saudi Arabian engineer inherited a significant fortune from his estranged father. That engineer was Osama bin Laden and his inheritance, of course, bankrolled al Qaeda.
Like Gavrilo Princip's pistol shot and bin Laden's inheritance, Cameron's referendum could have far-reaching consequences. The difference this time is that – at least in the view of those of us who have been suspicious of globalism all along – most of the consequences will be benign. The fact is that, in the face of East Asia's relentless pursuit of one-way free trade, Washington's vaunted strategy of "global leadership" amounts to borrowing from China to save the world from China. A British withdrawal from the EU – which would be the likely result of any honestly structured referendum – may well be just the shock therapy needed to jolt policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic into rejoining the reality-based community.
If the British referendum does trigger a rethink in the United States, it would not be the first time in the recent past that the mother country has led American opinion.
In the 1960s, for instance, it was the UK far more than the US that created that decade's famous youth culture. (The Beatles were global superstars by 1963, two years before Allen Ginsberg invented flower power and six years before the boomers converged on Woodstock.)
In social policy too, the UK has tended to move earlier than the United States. In the busy parliamentary year of 1967, the British legalized both abortion and homosexual behavior, for instance. That was six years ahead of Roe vs Wade and more than three decades before remaining anti-gay laws in the United States were struck from the statute book.
In world affairs too, the British have often led: London established full diplomatic relations with Beijing as early as 1972, for instance – nearly seven years ahead of Washington. Similarly the British were earlier to embrace the fashion for financial and economic deregulation. The ideas of Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman had struck vigorous root among the British media and political establishment as early as 1976, and Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister in May 1979, eighteen months ahead of Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential victory. (As late as 1978 incidentally pro-regulation Democrats had won a healthy majority in Congress.)
The irony is that Cameron is hardly central casting's idea of a bomb-thrower. As for the parliamentarians who have forced his hand, they hail mainly from the right of his Conservative Party and see themselves as enthusiastic supporters of global free trade.
That said the wider cause of globalism is now thoroughly discredited in the UK. Not the least of its problems is its close association with the bankers of the City of London. At a time when countless ordinary Britons have been badly squeezed by economic austerity, the charlatans and outright crooks of the City have continued to award themselves outrageous pay packages.
Even Cameron does not conceal his disgust with some aspects of globalism, not least its role in undercutting the British tax base. Feelings have not been soothed by the release of a report documenting how major U.S. corporations minimize their British tax liabilities by channeling their British revenues through tax havens. Among corporations cited were such household names as Starbucks, Google, and Amazon, which despite doing huge business in the UK pay hardly any tax there. Some home-grown British corporations such as Vodafone and Barclays have also been pilloried. Much of the criticism moreover has come from media organizations like the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail that have traditionally been pro-business pillars of the Conservative establishment.
Top Conservatives generally hope the UK will remain in the EU. The problem is that they are caught between a rock and a hard place. While they believe in maintaining close trade links with the continent, few of them identify with Brussels's increasingly insistent push for "ever closer union" – political and social union, that is. Thus Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones, a Conservative member of the House of Lords and a former intelligence chief, cites the European justice agenda as a major source of friction. A key issue is the so-called European Arrest Warrant which renders the British government powerless to second-guess extradition requests from other EU nations. As a result, several British citizens have suffered scarifying legal misadventures in, among other places, Greece. "The problem is that the system is based on the fiction that police, courts and prisons are all equally good inside all EU countries," says Neville-Jones. "That is patently not the case and the result is anomalies which, given UK political culture and the activities of constituency MPs, cannot be shoved under the carpet."
Douglas Carswell, a Hayekian who counts as one of the Conservative Party's most passionate Euroskeptics, cites the EU's anti-democratic character as a principal bone of contention. "My American friends have no idea how anti-democratic the EU really is," he says. "It has been calculated that between 70 percent and 80 percent of our laws are now coming from the EU bureaucracy. In American terms, it is as if federal agencies were able to make laws without reference to Congress or to the states."
Unfortunately, as the prominent Labor Party Europhile Denis MacShane points out, any effort now by the UK to roll back the less welcome aspects of the European "project" comes a little late. "Cameron needs to persuade 26 other governments and parliaments that opening a major treaty revision to satisfy Britain is something to be desired," he recently commented. "A new treaty would require a nightmarish ratification process involving referendums in countries like Denmark, France, and Ireland that would plunge Europe into years of inward-looking rows at a time when it still hasn't emerged from the worst economic crisis in its history."
Viewed purely in terms of British party politics, however, Cameron's gambit is a Machiavellian masterstroke. In an inspired gimmick, he has promised that the referendum will be held only AFTER the Conservative Party is returned to power in a general election expected in 2015. As Ed Miliband, the leader of the opposition Labor Party, has already ruled out a referendum, this leaves countless anti-EU Labor voters high and dry. Even the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), a small anti-EU group, has been cunningly sidetracked. Drawing its support mainly from the right, UKIP had previously loomed as an ever larger threat to the Conservatives' traditional base. Now the Conservatives can credibly allege that a UKIP vote will merely divide the Euroskeptics and let in the Labor Party (a majority of whose leaders are dyed-in-the-wool Europhiles). UKIP stalwarts like Godfrey Bloom, a member of the European Parliament, splutter that Cameron will in the end renege on a straight in-out vote. This might well be a correct reading of Cameron's instincts but the pressures on Conservative leaders, not least from their own rank-and-file, to follow through with an honest referendum is now intense.
200 years ago- almost all humans believed that there can never a machine that could. fly like a bird and carry people. But it took only handful of fellow human beings to change that thinking pattern. Radical things can't happen being stuck in old way of thinking and doing things.
True, If the UK opts out, and that's a strong IF, it wouldn't mean the end of globalism, to the contrary, it would set it on a new path: a more US-centric path.
Not so fast, Daniel. Many Americans, myself included, really miss British made stuff. My brother had an MG and loved it, electrical quirks and all. Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Land Rover(when they were British owned) were quirky, but were like hand made art on wheels to us, with all that leather and wood. My older brother, to this day, has a collection of prized British made metal toy cars by Corgi and Lesney. It was so sad to see the old Lesney matchbox plant being destroyed to make way for the olympic village. That little toy factory added more wealth and pride to Great Britain than 10 olympics.
I would concentrate my comment on the first part of the article: the unbelievable supply chain of horsemeat.
Everybody knows that eating horsemeat is a bad job, hence I want to underline the process that led that meat into britishmen's stomaches.
The main point that has to be pointed out is: to what extent a cost advantage for the swedish company in supplying the meat to supermarkets (with that outsourcing cycle) could fit with food quality?
Hence, are we really sure of the quality of that meat?
This topic could be considered without doubts as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) problem for the swedish company, especially and eventually such company claims to offer high quality food.
I look forward to an EU without the UK. For all its faults, the UK still thinks of itself as a soverign nation, something that is not compatible with EU membership.
I have a personal reason as well; perhaps it will slow some of the dim-witted here in the US in their quest to make the US more "international".

The reproductive structure of the seed-bearing plants known as angiosperms. A flower may contain up to four whorls or arrangements of parts: carpels, stamens, petals, and sepals. The female reproductive organs consist of one or more carpels. Each carpel includes an ovary, style, and stigma. A single carpel or a group of fused carpels is sometimes called a pistil. The male reproductive parts are the stamens, made up of a filament and anther. The reproductive organs may be enclosed in an inner whorl of petals and an outer whorl of sepals. Flowers first appeared over 120 million years ago and have evolved a great diversity of forms and coloration in response to the agents that pollinate them. Some flowers produce nectar to attract animal pollinators, and these flowers are often highly adapted to specific groups of pollinators. Flowers pollinated by moths, such as species of jasmine and nicotiana, are often pale and fragrant in order to be found in the evening, while those pollinated by birds, such as fuschias, are frequently red and odorless, since birds have good vision but a less developed sense of smell. Wind-pollinated flowers, such as those of oak trees or grass, are usually drab and inconspicuous. See Note at pollination.

The West Virginia Board of Education is stressing the need for a full review of school safety around the state.
The board said Friday that it has asked West Virginia Department of Education staff to reach out to national experts on school safety issues.
Board president Wade Linger says that while the state has conducted school safety reviews in the past, he believes further input will ensure the state doesn't "have a blind spot."
Over the past few years, West Virginia has allocated $30 million to school districts for school safety upgrades. As a part of the grants, districts also had to develop school access safety plans and appoint a school safety director.
School-specific crisis response plans also required by the coming school year under a 2011 state law.

Me Seeeesters
I'm thrilled to have my sisters with me this weekend, down from Baltimore for a little Florida sun and fun. I joined them for a carriage tour and dinner tonight while my handsome husband, Bill, held down the fort. Left to right is my sister Sue, Honorary Sister Trudy and sister Lu. We had a wonderful carriage tour by Cyndi and Boomer and an outstanding dinner at Joe's Second Street Bistro. I don't get to see them much so this was a real treat.
