Curry County Trash Dogs helped fill a roll-off Dumpster with debris collected from the banks and ravines along the Rogue River Saturday.
The Dogs, in conjunction with the Lower Rogue Watershed Council and numerous volunteers, picked up trash, hauled away refrigerators, car parts, furniture and other debris dumped in the area. The local group plans to return to the area at a later date to get material they were unable to retrieve.
"It was absolutely fantastic," said Ed Gross, a leader of the Trash Dogs. "We got three trailer loads of big-time garbage: refrigerators, a TV, microwave and tires – those things were huge. We had a great day."
According to Kelly Sparks of the watershed council, 85 people collected more than 20 cubic yards – several tons – of trash along the gravel bars of the lower Rogue and Illinois rivers and beaches near the river mouth.
Additionally, volunteers in 13 jet boats cleared more than 2 acres of Scotch broom, a non-native species.
The cleanup was followed by a barbecue at Quosatana Campground, attended by Smokey Bear and U.S. Forest Service representatives who spoke about stewardship of the natural resources.
The Rogue River is a popular waterway for whiteriver rafting, fishing, camping and hiking.
"The event shows that by changing the way our youth and community think about our river, invasive plants and responsible trash disposal, we are all making a difference." Sparks said.

Scout team humbles Harris
Note: I was off Friday and will be the next couple of days. Your former 'Canes beat writer Shandel Richardson will have all the info for you. Here's a blog that he filed Friday.
CORAL GABLES — It was an experience Jacory Harris never expected.
During preparation for last week's season-opener against Maryland, Harris was in unfamiliar surroundings. Just a few years ago, he was hailed as the savior of the UM program.
Now he was the scout team quarterback.
For the first time in his career.
"It was weird," Harris said. "It was hard. I didn't actually know what to do on scout team, like that you're supposed to basically make the defense look good. I didn't know that. I got fussed at for a couple days about that. All those things were weird. It was a learning experience."
Harris found himself in the new role because of his involvement with former UM booster Nevin Shapiro. The NCAA determined he accepted impressible benefits from Shapiro, resulting in a one-game suspension. He was one of eight players handed punishments.
Harris' last contact with the team came the Sunday before it left for Maryland. It's tradition for the scout team to leave early after the final walkthrough before the Hurricanes hit the road. Harris remained on the field long enough to see his teammates board the bus to the airport.
"I made sure I stayed out here [the practice field] to send them off on the bus because I wanted to be there," Harris said. "That really hurt me."
Harris instead was forced to watch the game at home, a first in his UM career. After the Hurricanes lost a nail-biter to the Terrapins on the road, he was the first person in the film room on Tuesday.
"I was here at 7 a.m.," Harris said. "I watched the film and graded it. I just wanted to see what happened, to see what could've got done better and what we could've done better and how could we change this so it won't happen again."
On Friday, Harris sounded like he's matured and learned from the experience. We'll find out against Ohio State next Saturday.

According to a Tuesday story by AFP, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin made an implied threat against American astronauts on the International Space Station. He made the threat in response to fresh American sanctions that Rogozin suggests is directed against Russian defense and aerospace sectors. The sanctions are in response to continued Russian aggression against the Ukraine.
"If their aim is to deliver a blow to Russia's rocket-building sector, then by default, they would be exposing their astronauts on the ISS," he is quoted as saying.
A threat, even an implied one, against American astronauts on the ISS has to be taken seriously. Despite the fact that the United States started the space station and contributed most of the money and technical expertise toward its construction, the United States is totally dependent on Russia for access. That is because the space shuttle program was ended in 2011 as a cost saving measure. Commercially operated but government financed spacecraft that can take astronauts to and from the ISS will not be available before 2017.
As part of President George W. Bush's Project Constellation, the plan had been for NASA to fly astronauts to and from the space station in the Orion space craft. That plan and much else went by the wayside when President Obama cancelled Constellation. The plan, to use commercial vehicles, has been stymied and delayed due squabbling between the administration and Congress, the latter still angered by the abrupt nature of Constellation's ending.
Thus, for at least the next three years, Russia has the only means of accessing the ISS. Many space experts do not think Russia would actually go so far as to cut off access to the space station. This is because Russia is not likely to be able to operate the ISS without the help of NASA. Still the threat highlights the continuing peril the United States faces with having a partner in space with which it is increasingly at odds on Earth.

Living gluten-free in a city like Chicago can be quite the challenge, with nearly every day a constant battle for who produces the greatest deep dish. But no worries, Chicagoites, Homeslice Wheelhouse has got your back. If you're a fan of artisan pizzas with a gluten-free crust option, a killer cocktail and beer selection, and a plethora of big screens fit to project any sporting event, then this is the place for you. Whether you're enjoying the woodsy, log cabin-like atmosphere inside or dining outside on their heated patio, Homeslice's thin crust, Oregon-style pizza is always a breath of fresh air from the cheesy mess usually associated with Chicago-style pizza.
Homeslice's pizza menu is separated into three sections: "The Meats," "The Bird," and "Meat Free." All of their pizza combinations are unique and delicious, but some favorites are the Meet Mary, featuring Canadian bacon, Italian sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, red onions, provolone, mozzarella and marinara, the Shira Palin, with roasted chicken, portabella, mushrooms, spinach, roasted garlic, roma tomatoes, ricotta, mozzarella, provolone, garlic, and olive oil, and the Da Duba, including fresh roma tomatoes, artichoke hearts, roasted garlic, fresh basil, feta, mozzarella, provolone, garlic, and olive oil. If you prefer creating your own meal, you can always build your own pizza, choosing from five different sauce bases and a surplus of topping options.
This Lincoln Park pizza joint also touts a very impressive brunch menu, consisting of indulgent dishes like the Breakfast Za with cracked eggs, bacon, cheddar, and black pepper, and the Hangover Cereal, your choice of cereal with milk, RumChata, and Fireball.
The Homeslice beverage team has also made a great name for themselves in the short amount of time they've been open. Homeslice has been granted several awards for their libations, including Best Bloody Mary Skewers by UrbanDaddy and Best Moscow Mule by RedEye Chicago. Besides their cocktails, Homeslice has an impressive number of beers in bottles, and at least 13 to 15 variations on tap at all times.
Homeslice is the perfect place to dine before a night out in the area, with many of Lincoln Park's best bar spots right around the corner. Opt for undoubtedly the best gluten-free crust in the city and a pitcher of your favorite beer or cider to start your night off right.

Tucson and Southern Arizona
Tucson is a thriving metropolis that continues to grow by thousands of residents each month, but it has held fast to its small-town ambience.
Southern Arizona is renowned for its superb weather. Warm and sunny throughout most of the year, the air is remarkably dry, with a low relative humidity.
The Sonoran Desert provides a unique setting not to be found anywhere else in the world. Far from the Saharan sand dunes that most first-time visitors expect, the desert boasts a wide range of wildlife, vegetation, and great mountain views.

From the King James version:
9:2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. 3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. 7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead. 10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean. 11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come? 12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. 13 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.

A couple visiting Pasadena, Calif. were shocked when a bear was standing on the porch right next to them as they exited the residence they were staying in. While the couple didn't see the bear even though it was ridiculously close to them, the incredible encounter was caught on a security camera.
In the footage (above), you can see the bear just standing there, curiously looking at the couple as they came out of the house. The couple walked to their car and after a few seconds, the bear started to follow them.
The couple didn't notice the bear until they reached their vehicle. The man advised his wife to get into the car and he made the decision to head back to the residence. The bear either bit him or clawed him in the calf and he had to get a tetanus shot. He is expected to be okay.
Check out the video above to see the bear looking at the couple. In many ways it's good that they didn't see it sooner -- their panic could have caused the bear to attack.

Your advice on day trips for a family with young children, originating in Eugene?
In Turner, the Enchanted Forest is super fun if you know ahead of time that this ain't Disney. In Independence, they have the Wings of Wonder butterfly exhibit. Evergreen Aviation Museum is fun and the Wings and Waves Waterpark is like nothing else!
In Salem there is the A.C. Gilbert's Discovery House Children's Museum. Silver Falls is pretty to hike. Splash! Lively Swim Park in Springfield has a wave pool, water slide and lots of other cool things.
There is also a roller rink in Springfield and Cascades Raptor Center is in Eugene. Fir Point Farms has goats that climb into trees to eat! Where else are you going to find that? I love this list as it provides so many activities that involve nature.
If you happen to make it to the Wings of Wonder exhibit, please also stop in Albany, where you find the sweetest Carousel Museum and Carving Studio. Take the tour and see the animals coming to life step by step. You may see carvers hand carving the animals, painters and more volunteers bringing this project to its eventual ending and assembly in about 5 years.

What are some good kid-friendly activities in Roseburg?
Whenever I vacationed as a child in Roseburg, we always went to Wildlife Safari in nearby Winston. This is the ultimate kid-friendly activity around Roseburg. Check out this story from the Mail Tribune newspaper's Joy magazine about the attraction.
If you still need more to keep the kids busy, there's also the fish ladder at Winchester Dam on the Umpqua River just north of town for an educational experience that's also fun.

My wife and I will be traveling four days from Bend to the Oregon Caves. What should we do in between?
If Oregon Caves already is on your itinerary and you're coming from Bend, you shouldn't miss Oregon's only national park, Crater Lake. Along with the Caves, it's this region's premiere attraction, as noted in this recent story for the Mail Tribune newspaper.
If you're coming from Bend south, the most logical route is through the Cascades right past Crater Lake on part of the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway. After Crater Lake, stop at the natural bridge area and Mill Creek Falls. If you keep taking the byway from Highway 62 to Highway 234, you'll pass right by locals' favorite spot for hiking, the Table Rocks. These mesas are among the region's
There also are several opportunities for world-class whitewater rafting on the Rogue River between Shady Cove and Grants Pass. Lodging along this route is available at Diamond Lake Resort, Prospect Hotel, Edgewater Inn in Shady Cove, yurts at the region's best state park, Valley of the Rogue, as well as numerous options in Grants Pass.

My wife and I are visiting Oregon for three weeks starting and ending in Eugene. We would like to see as many of the waterfalls as we can. Which are the best areas to see them?
We have a lot of waterfalls here in Oregon and I have been fortunate in that I have seen many of them. I will say the most spectacular of course is our Multnomah Falls area. I would plan to spend at least most of a day in this area. I have hiked the Wahkeena Falls Hike counter clockwise and will say, it was a killer but I would do it again in a heartbeat! In fact, I'm in the planning stages to do it again with some folks that have never been. It's about 5 miles long and if you want your fill of waterfalls, this is the place to do it! We took a backpack lunch and lots of water to drink and even soaked our feet at the very top so plan on taking your sweet time if this is something you think you want to check out.
Whether you hike the Wahkeena Trail or not, the whole area there and the drive on the Historic Columbia River Highway is spectacular! Lots more waterfalls, a winding road with foliage and old trees worthy of stopping to explore.
While you're near the Hood River Valley, I would continue on and take an easy hike on the Tamanawas Falls Trail. I've done this easy hike several times and if you are taking someone with you, don't tell them what's at the end of the trail. It's a surprise!
Around the Salem and Silverton area, check out our gorgeous Silver Falls. This is where we take all of our visitors and friends when they want to see waterfalls. You can choose to admire the falls from the park, a short "easy" hike or a longer more strenuous hike… your choice! The park is beautiful and you can most certainly spend a whole day enjoying it.
There are lots of places right outside of Eugene as well to see waterfalls. The easiest walk I took was to see Sahalie Falls. My friends at the Eugene, Cascades and Coast Adventure Center will be happy to assist you in finding even more if you are interested! Please visit the adventure center while you are in Eugene if you'd like to learn even more about our Willamette Valley and the Eugene area.
I have lots more ideas and some places I am sure I have been and enjoyed when it comes to waterfalls so if you'd like even more info, let me know.
Thanks for your question and have a wonderful trip!

We plan to be in the Willamette Valley for 2 days. Please suggest a town where we can say that would be convenient for touring the vineyards and sampling some good food without being too touristy.
Three places came to mind when I read your question. They are McMinnville, Eugene and Albany! Three very different Oregon towns each offering what you are looking for. First of all, McMinnville is situated more in the Northern region of wine country. It's has a
Eugene is further south but also perfectly situated for wine tasting, touring without being too touristy and a place where you will find
Albany is smaller town of only about 50,000 pop. Home to several delicious restaurants as well, it's also home to Matt Bennett, a James Beard Award Nominated Chef! He owns three restaurants downtown, one of which I send all of our visitors to who are looking for a true taste of the Pacific Northwest: Sybaris. Albany is also located in the middle between McMinnville and Eugene so a perfect spot if you are wanting to get as much as possible from all areas of the Willamette Valley.

I will be traveling from Portland to Baker City and want to take 2 days for the trip. I love art/sculpture, local crafts, scenery and small towns. Can you suggest a good overnight point for my first night?
I recommend a driving route on the Old West Highway (26) that will take you over Mt Hood, through small towns along Highway 26 and along the scenic John Day River directly to Baker City. The total driving time is about 7 hours.
For your first night—if you're up for driving—is the quaint town of Mitchell, Oregon, about 4 hours away from Portland. If you'd like to save the bulk of your driving and sightseeing for the next day, treat yourself to a night at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood.

What are some fun festivals in Eastern Oregon?
A great music festival is the The Bronze, Blues & Brews music festival. Over Labor Day weekend is Juniper Jam, a great showcase of regional musicians in the folk/rock tradition. I highly recommend both. Two important cultural festivals include the Maxville Gathering that celebrates the logging history in Oregon and the annual Nez Perce art show. One of the biggest and most celebrated festivals is the Pendleton Roundup in September.
If there's a particular type of festival or one in another part of Eastern Oregon you'd like to know more about, please let me know.

The Railroad District is home to numerous galleries, on the other end of town is the Schneider Museum of Art at Southern Oregon University. See the Mail Tribune newspaper's guide to visual arts and the Shakespeare festival for more information.

Family-friendly activities abound, but there's Science Works Hands-On Museum, North Mountain Nature Center and programs at Northwest Nature Shop.
Ashland makes a good home base for exploring Jackson County's other attractions: Crater Lake (the state's only national park), Jacksonville, a national historic landmark (also a good town for antiquing), as well as lots of artisan foods, particularly Rogue Creamery and Lillie Belle Farms in Central Point.

We'll be visiting Oregon in August and driving from Portland to Hood River one day, and then to Bend the next day. What would be the best way to experience Mt. Hood? Is there any way to get to the snow in that period of time?
The best way to experience Mount Hood, especially if you want to get up close to some snow, is to visit Timberline Lodge. You won't get any closer to the mountain. They do a great lunch buffet, for a very reasonable
You may also consider making a stop at Trillium Lake on your way to Bend, and not far from Timberline Lodge. Yet another great view of the mountain here, reflected perfectly in the lake if the wind isn't blowing too

Authorization of a memorial to honor those who served in the First Gulf War has been readied for a House vote. On Tuesday, May 6, 2014, the House Committee on Natural Resources officially reported the National Desert Storm & Desert Shield War Memorial Act (H.R. 503). The bill would allow the National Desert Storm Memorial Association to construct a memorial to commemorate those who served in the conflict and events leading up to it.
The memorial would be placed in the District of Columbia. No site has been selected. The legislation also would require the association to raise all funds from non-federal sources.
The House placed the measure on the Union Calender as Calender No. 325 on the evening of May 6. The House can vote on it now, though no vote has been scheduled. The bill picked up 108 House sponsors.
The committee also filed the report, Rept. 113-437. The report has not been published yet. It will be available online any day. But we obtained an advance copy.
The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources approved a similar measure last November. The Senate has not yet scheduled a vote. Only two Senators have sponsored the bill.
The Department of Defense and the National Capital Memorial Advisory Commission both endorsed the concept but not any particular design or location. The memorial could go near the National Mall because of its historic significance. But it is not eligible for "the reserve" boundaried by the Jefferson Memorial, the Capitol, the White House and the Lincoln Memorial.
Since the foundation is paying for construction, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) determined that the memorial would not significantly impact federal spending. The work would be subject to the Commemorative Works Act, so the foundation would have to donate at least 10 percent of the construction costs to the non-profit National Parks Foundation for maintenance of the structure.
Any leftover funds the foundation may raise would also have to go for maintenance. But based on previous experience with similar memorials, CBO says such money wouldn't become available for several years after construction.

College Hockey:Yedon, Special Teams Make Difference For Colgate
Brown Drops Home Opener In Back-and-Forth Affair
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Colgate junior center P.J. Yedon's spoiled Brown's home opener Friday with two goals in a 3-2 win.
In a sloppy back-and-forth game, the special teams were the difference. The Raiders went two-for-four on the power play, while the Bears' power play was completely ineffective, failing on five chances.
Late in the second, with the score tied at 2-2, Brown looked ready to grab control of the game as a delay of game penalty led to a Brown power play that carried over to the third. But, as in much of the game, Brown mustered only a few chances. The Raiders' aggressive penalty kill kept Brown frustrated and off-balance.
"We worked a lot on our penalty kill all week and right up to this game," said Colgate head coach Don Vaughan. "It's just such a big part of the game. I think tonight it was the difference."
Senior goaltender Jason Lefevre made 28 saves in a very strong effort. When Colgate looked on its heels during much of the second and third periods, he stood tall.
Shortly after Colgate returned to even strength, Yedon got the game-winner.
A loose puck in the Brown end found its way into the hands of Raiders defenseman Tucker Veenis at the point. A wobbly shot was redirected in by Yedon to the back of the net to make it 3-2.
"I saw [Veenis] was gonna shoot so I went straight for the net," Yedon said. "Luckily I got my stick on it and got a good bounce."
Despite not converting on their early third-period chances, the Bears kept the pressure on Lefevre for most of the third. Brown finally earned a power-play opportunity with under four minutes to go, but that was quickly mitigated by a thoughtless offensive-zone penalty of their own.
Lefevre was strong on a couple chances during the four-on-four and in the last minute, when Brown emptied the net for the six-on-five advantage. But the chances were few, including a good rush opportunity and a shot blocked down from the point. Colgate finished strongly to preserve the 3-2 road win.
In a messy first period, the Raiders jumped out to an early lead and controlled most of the action throughout. Freshman winger Dmitry Yashin stunned Brown goalie Brian Eklund, who made just 16 saves on the night, with a wraparound power-play goal.
The Bears answered with a goal from sophomore center Nick Ringstad. He battled for a loose puck in front to finally knock it by Lefevre.
Brown grabbed the lead in the second. The fourth line, which was a factor for Brown all night, converted on an odd-man rush. Junior forward Jason Wilson collected a pass from freshman Les Haggett and beat Lefevre glove-side. Haggett, as well as linemate Mike Meech, each picked up their first collegiate points.
The Raiders made it 2-2 with five to go in the second. After a Brown clearing attempt hit the linesman and remained in the zone, Yedon eventually beat Eklund on a low-angle shot to the near side.
All night, Colgate seemed to have the edge. Every time the Bears seemed to be mounting momentum Lefevre made a big save, the power play changed the momentum, or they just plain failed to materialize on chances.
"We were just a step behind all night," said Brown head coach Roger Grillo. "There were way too many turnovers. It just seemed like we didn't have the same energy we had in the first three games."

White Samsung Galaxy S II headed to Vodafone UK
Officially announced for the UK market just a few days ago, the white Samsung Galaxy S II has been confirmed now by Vodafone, which may become the first British carrier to offer the handset (sometime ahead of "early September").
SoMobile has it that Vodafone will sell the white S II for the same price it's offering the black version. Thus, customers will be able to get it for free on plans starting at £36 per month.
Just like the darker edition of the new Galaxy, the white one features Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a 4.3 inch WVGA Super AMOLED Plus display, 1GB of RAM, dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 8MP rear camera with 1080p video recording, and 2MP front-facing camera.
Most of the other major UK operators should start selling the white Galaxy S II soon – including Three, which has already put up a webpage for the upcoming smartphone.

Furry Friends offers the convenience of free home delivery of pet food, toys, and treats, plus the spontaneity of stopping at the store to check out their latest offerings. The company has been doing business in the area for 13 years now and continues to expand. They started out with home delivery of the finest quality pet food and now are celebrating the opening of their second store location. The original boutique opened in April 2012. It is located at 3170 North Stone Ave., just north of Fillmore and east of Nevada, and is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The newest store just opened at 3586C Hartsel Dr., near Woodmen & Rangewood, in the King Soopers shopping center. It's open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Both stores include a do-it-yourself bath area, and the new location even has a walk-in shower for larger or arthritic dogs that have trouble getting into a regular tub—the only one of its kind in town. The bath house at the new store will have its grand opening the weekend of Valentine's Day with great specials.
The core product from Furry Friends is its Pet's Healthy Choice food, manufactured in the USA specifically for Furry Friends, with no wheat, corn, or soy. In developing this brand, Furry Friends worked with a pet nutritionist and designed all the different food blends. They also carry a wide variety of holistic and allergen-free foods for pets with different needs. The owners and employees are very knowledgeable about different types of food and treats and are available for free consultation to help customers decide what food they should use.
The Furry Friends stores host low-cost vaccine clinics, anesthesia-free teeth cleaning, holiday pet photos, and other events throughout the year. The company also gives back to the community through its support of local nonprofit animal rescue organizations including National Mill Dog Rescue.

When 1.6 million Washingtonians (including 88,870 Clark County residents) voted "Yes" on Proposition 74 on Nov. 6, how many of them knew they would send a message to the U.S. Supreme Court? There's no way of knowing how many of them did, but when the highest court in the land considers two cases this week pertaining to same-sex marriage, the impact of our state's landmark legislation last year cannot be ignored.
On that fall day, Washington became the first state where voters — not courts or legislatures — did the right thing and legalized same-sex marriage. Today, the Supreme Court will hear arguments about California's Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage but which was overturned in district and federal appeals courts. On Wednesday, the court will consider the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Court observers rank this week's two cases as crucial as Roe v. Wade or Bush v. Gore. Liberty University law professor Ken Klukowski said recently that the cases are "not just major, not just blockbuster, but historic."
The Columbian has long supported marriage equality, and we hope the Supreme Court rules in that direction. But there's no way of predicting what will happen. One "safe" possibility is for the court to neither legalize nor ban same-sex marriage but leave it up to the states, or take some other type of hybrid stance. A ruling is expected this summer, possibly in June.
And much of the argument for marriage equality will be rooted in what happened in our state last year, where Referendum 74 passed with 53.7 percent approval (in Clark County, the measure was rejected by 52.6 percent of voters).
Washington is not alone. Nine states have legalized gay marriage. This trend reflects a relatively rapid conversion of attitude among Americans. On Monday, Washington Post columnist Chris Cillizza "declared the political fight on gay marriage over," citing that sudden shift (in less than a decade) of public opinion. According to Washington Post/ABC News polls, same-sex marriage has reversed from 55 percent rejection, 41 percent support in 2004 to 58 percent support, 36 percent rejection in 2013.
However, opponents of same-sex marriage remain persistent, basing argument on traditional definitions. History speaks in their favor, they say. But a compelling argument is presented by David Boies and Ted Olson, plaintiffs' lawyers who will argue against California's Proposition 8. An Atlanta Journal-Constitution story quoted this passage from their brief: "If a history of discrimination were sufficient to justify its perpetual existence, our public schools, drinking fountains and swimming pools would still be segregated by race, our government workplaces and military institutions would still be largely off-limits to one sex — and to gays and lesbians — and marriage would still be unattainable for interracial couples."
Across America, about 120,000 same-sex couples have been legally married. That's almost a quarter-million Americans. Now the Supreme Court will start deciding how much those people really matter.

DevOps Strategy Development
High-velocity application development and delivery is now on every CIO's agenda. To deliver on this promise, changes must be made in how applications are developed, deployed and managed.
Our DevOps experts work with you to:
- Assess your organization's readiness for DevOps and continuous delivery transformation
- Identify improvement opportunities spanning people, processes and technology
- Create an adoption strategy and roadmap for moving forward
Continuous Delivery and Continuous Integration
For some companies "fast" means monthly software releases; at the most extreme, application updates happen hourly. To support continuous delivery, however you define it, processes and tools need to be highly automated and integrated, support effective collaboration across teams and enable teams to rapidly deploy smaller, incremental software updates.
Our consultants work with you to analyze, design and implement end-to-end deployment pipelines using best-of-breed VMware and open source software. We also work with you to establish or update continuous integration capabilities using modern tools and methods.
Configuration Management
As software moves from development to production, inconsistent or manual configuration practices can drastically slow down the process and introduce errors. Automated, reliable and reproducible server, platform and application configurations allow teams to develop and test in "production-like" environments, accelerating delivery and improving quality.
Our consultants work with your team to design and implement a modern configuration management solution built for traditional and scale-out architectures. Our solutions reduce or eliminate manual work, increasing efficiency and freeing your team to focus on additional development or operations improvement. Your teams work faster, with greater precision, to deliver business value sooner.
DevOps Consulting Services are currently offered in North America only. For more information, please contact your local VMware representative.

From: Renas <email@example.com> To: Teacher2Teacher Public Discussion Date: 2004092321:23:30 Subject: Re: Re: Zero divided by zero (indeterminate form). Incorrect. 0/0 does not have an infinite number of solutions. The notion that 0/0 can be reexpressed by 0 x C=0 is false because you have to use arithmetic to prove it as a/b=c where b is not 0, a/b(b)=c(b) and thus you arrive that a=bc. The method used to teach kindergardners just skips the mathematics part for their simplicities' sake, but the argument cannot be used for 0/0 since 0/0(0)=c(0), and thus 0/0=c(0) suggesting 0/0 is 0, which is not a false statement, but if c were any number other than 0, then 0/0=Cx0 and thus 0/0 would only equal 0 no matter what c is, and thus the contradiction. 0/0 may or may not be 0, infinity or undefined, but it is not any other integer than 0.

If you aren't already counting the days until "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" hits theaters (spoiler hint: it's more than 400 but less than 1,000,000), then perhaps today is a good day to start.
Writer-director Joss Whedon's "Avengers" sequel has officially entered production, with two weeks of filming in Johannesburg, South Africa, beginning Tuesday (February 11).
The two-week shoot is expected to cause major traffic disruptions, with numerous road closures being reported by Independent Online — with certain roads being closed for 24 hours a day.
"We're thrilled that Marvel Studios is bringing a major motion picture project to Joburg," said Gauteng Film Commission chief executive Phindile Mbanjwa of the "Avengers" sequel's two-week stint in South Africa. Frankly, we're thrilled, too — because it means that the long-awaited sequel to the most successful comic book movie of all time, commercially and otherwise, is one step closer to reality.
Of course, even as production begins, there are so many questions surrounding "Age of Ultron." Despite the robust cast it already features, there's talk of additional roles that still need to be filled, including Carol Danvers, best known to Marvel Comics readers as Captain Marvel; it's been rumored that she has a part to play in the "Avengers" sequel.
There was also some hope that T'Challa, the Black Panther of Wakanda, might make an appearance in "Age of Ultron," fueled in large by the sequel's South Africa production. But the Gauteng Film Commission revealed Monday that the "Avengers" team is "shooting Johannesburg as Johannesburg," seemingly ending speculation that Wakanda is in play. (The report further revealed that the Johannesburg-set sequence plays into the film's first 10 minutes.)
Still, there's much about "Age of Ultron" that we do know. We know that veteran heroes Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye are all back for more. We know that there's a new villain in Baron Von Strucker, played by Thomas Kretschmann . We know that we'll meet "the twins," Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch , played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen, even if we're not quite sure whose side they're on.
We know that James Spader will play the titular Ultron , and we know that another android is in play as well: Paul Bettany as Vision , marking a major upgrade for the actor who has voiced Tony Stark's J.A.R.V.I.S. system over the course of four Marvel Studios pictures.
Most important of all, we know this: "Age of Ultron" is yet another ambitious project from the house that Iron Man built, with Whedon and Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige behind the wheel. It's a powerhouse team that's brought in billions of dollars and countless fans across the world. To say there's reason to get excited for the "Avengers" sequel — even just as it's starting production, even when it's more than a year away — is Earth's mightiest understatement.
"The Avengers: Age of Ultron" hits theaters on May 1, 2015.

Loop cards of various sorts have been around since the 1950s but the idea has recently come back into fashion. Most sets are of similar format ie each card is divided into two parts, an answer and a question, as in this set :
This is how the loop works : Let's say we've chosen to start with the pupil who has 24 on his card; this pupil calls out 'I have 24' and then asks, 'Who has 5 x 3?' Next, the pupil with 15 on his card answers, 'I have 15' and then asks, 'Who has one quarter of 28 ?'. Now it's the turn of the pupil with 7 on his card, who first calls out, 'I have 7' and then asks, 'Who has 4 x 12 ?' The answer and question sequence continues in the same way until finally someone calls out a question to which the answer is 24; at this point the loop is complete. With these cards, there is no particular link between the answer at the top of any card and the question at the bottom of the same card. What we've done with our loop cards is to link the answer and the question on each card, like this :
Or like this (much easier cards obviously!):
There are loop cards here for all age-groups from Year 1 to Year 6; the sets are colourful and engaging and all are different. We hope you enjoy using them!
* Most people print directly onto card but some prefer to print onto paper and then laminate; the cutting guide will help you to cut the cards to size afterwards. Please print the cards two-sided (using the backing sheet provided) to ensure our logo is on the back of each!
So, here are our loop cards. As you'll see for each set of cards there's also a set of instructions; these are designed to be printed on two sides of A4 and then folded to produce an A5 leaflet. There is nothing on any of the cards to mark them out as being for one particular age-group or another – but as a guide we've shown in brackets where the cards have often been used.

Another Copyright Infringement Ends In Charity Donation, Good PR For Infringer
For the second time in a week a photographer has settled a copyright dispute by getting the infringing corporation to make a donation to charity. Yesterday So Delicious, a maker of dairy-free foods, agreed to make a $10,000 donation to an animal shelter as a mea culpa for using one of photographer Theron Humphrey's images without permission in a post on their Facebook page.
Earlier this week, street photographer Brandon Stanton discovered that clothing retailer DKNY had used his images without permission in a window display at their Bangkok store. Stanton called the company out on Facebook and got them to agree to donate $25,000 to his local YMCA.
In comments made to PDN, both photographers cited the cost and tediousness of pursuing infringements through the courts as reasons for pursuing what they view as a more positive approach to dealing with infringements. (more…)

Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J., 1973
With its images of returning veterans, Chevy races and post-Vietnam America beginning to erode, this grand, apocalyptic parable foreshadows themes Springsteen would explore throughout his career. It was, he says, about "trying to get a feeling for . . . the forces that affected my parents' lives . . . the whole thing of the wasted life." (Tellingly, he performed it during the Vote for Change concert in 2004.) The recording also marks Van Zandt's first appearance on a Springsteen album: Although he didn't play guitar, Van Zandt supplied the sound-effects blast that opens the song.

Red Raiders Find Success in Home Tournament
Carlie Foust totaled 29 digs for the Red Raiders Saturday in their home tournament.
April 13, 2014
LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech volleyball team continued its successful spring by picking up two victories Saturday while splitting two other matches during its annual home tournament at the United Spirit Arena.
The Red Raiders opened the day by topping New Mexico Military Institute and Lubbock Christian before splitting a pair of two-set matches with Wayland Bapist and West Texas A&M to close the day.
The successful day improved Tech to 4-0-2 this spring heading into next weekend's final competition date at the Lone Star College Showcase.
"The day in total was another step forward in the collective development of this team," Tech head coach Don Flora said. "There was a lot more quality volleyball than anything else. We had some real important contributions from everyone. It is good to see everyone play and show they are growing in their roles."
Breeann David and Brianna Grant led the Red Raider attack, totaling 22 and 21 kills each whle Lauren Douglass added 19 from the middle as well. Katie Daffer, seeing her most action of the spring, chipped in a .400 hitting percentage from the right side.
Defensively, Rachel Brummitt averaged nearly six digs per set as she finished with 59 on the day in 10 total sets played. Carlie Foust followed behind with 29 digs while playing in nine sets.
Brummitt was Tech's most frequent player behind the service line as the Red Raiders had their best serving day of the spring. Brummitt posted the most serves with 44 while Emily Ruetter and Foust added 32 as well.
The Red Raiders will take part in the Lone Star Showcase next Saturday, facing several of the top volleyball programs throughout the state of Texas in what will be the final set of exhibition matches for Tech this spring.

This has a lot going for it in terms of being an antioxidant-rich, water-basedrepairing serum for all skin types. However, their decision to include essential oils (none of which are "therapeutic") for fragrance puts your skin at risk for irritation. Lavender oil, in particular, can cause skin cell death and enhance oxidative damage when skin is exposed to air (which, let's face it, is all the time). This product also contains the preservative methylisothiazolinone, which is contraindicated for use in leave-on products due to its sensitizing potential. So close, but we cannot state strongly enough how non-essential so-called "essential" oils are for your skin. They can be great for your nose and well-being, but you can enjoy their aromatherapeutic benefits without putting your skin at risk of irritation.
Active forms of vitamin C and CoQ10 combined with green tea extract and anit-oxidant vitamins neutralize sun and environmental damage and promote youthful skin.

Beauty Without Cruelty At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; does not test on animals (but lots of cosmetics companies can claim that nowadays); provides complete ingredient lists for all products on their Web site; one sunscreen with titanium dioxide; uses many natural ingredients that benefit skin.
Weaknesses: Does not list ingredients according to FDA labeling requirements; inelegant eye makeup removers; one of the sunscreens lacks sufficient UVA protection; ineffective AHA product; no BHA product or products to manage acne; overuse of irritating essential (fragrant) oils; jar packaging for antioxidant-rich products.
Beauty Without Cruelty, established in 1963, is a British import that began by selling makeup. At the time, they had a unique angle, in that they did not test their products on animals, and in 1963, most cosmetics companies did test their products on animals. But today, many companies can (and do) proudly boast that they do not test their products on animals, and, technically, that is true. However, despite the fact that these companies (including Beauty Without Cruelty) don't test their finished products on animals, the formulations they sell are based on ingredient research that was done primarily on animals. Sunscreens, vitamins, myriad plant extracts, and a vast range of other cosmetic ingredients have established their efficacy and safety based on recent or current animal testing. Although it is wonderful that companies like Beauty Without Cruelty do not test their products on animals, many of their formulations, just like those from every other cosmetics company in the industry, include ingredients whose effects are based on the results of animal research. Otherwise, how else would they know if their ingredients worked or if they were safe?
If Beauty Without Cruelty does excel in one area, it is that none of their ingredients are sourced from animals, which is somewhat unique in the industry and definitely a plus for vegans. However, it would be naïve to believe that any company can stay abreast of what is and isn't healthy for skin without the animal testing of the ingredients in their products. The companies may not be doing the testing, but someone is (or did), and this knowledge forms the basis for numerous new discoveries about what various ingredients can and cannot do for our skin.
Much like the rest of the cosmetics industry, Beauty Without Cruelty makes elaborate claims about the benefits of its plant extracts. And, as is also the case for many other cosmetics companies, they use plant extracts and essential oils that are both irritants and anti-irritants. For the most part their products are a mixed bag; there is one good sunscreen and some average cleansers, but many of their products are not recommended due to the presence of irritating fragrant oils. Beauty Without Cruelty is typically sold in health food stores, but also can be found in some drugstores. Their makeup line, once the driving force behind the brand, is difficult to find in the United States, and as such is not reviewed here.

Hereditary Breast Cancer
All cancers come from genetic mutations. Usually, these happen in specific cells during a person's life. In some cases, however, people inherit mutations that can influence cancer. This occurs more frequently for specific types of the disease, including cancer. When these mutations help cause breast cancer, doctors call it hereditary breast cancer.
Researchers have identified two main mutations that play a role in breast (and ovarian) cancer: BRCA1 and BRCA2 (for breast cancer 1 and breast cancer 2).
Genes, Risk—and Understanding
It can be easy to misinterpret what it means to have these inherited mutations. First, understand that it is believed that everyone has these genes. The mutation of a gene causes the problem. The mutations don't mean a person will definitely get breast or ovarian cancer. Instead, they greatly increase a person's risk for these diseases. At the same time, most women get breast cancer without inheriting BRCA mutations. In other words, these genes are not the last word. For more information about genetics and risks, please see our High Risk page.
Your Status and Your Future: Testing
If you decide you want to know more about your risks, family history and genetic testing can help give you some answers:
Family History: Having family members with breast cancer doesn't necessarily mean you have a BRCA mutation—but it can increase your chances. A genetic counselor can help you look for important signs in your family history: If you or a relative had breast cancer before age 45, cancer in both breasts or male breast cancer, it might indicate hereditary breast cancer, also putting you at risk. Several cases of breast or ovarian cancer on the same side of a family can also indicate this. Other cancers in your family history can also point to a personal risk.
Genetic Testing: More precise information can come from blood tests for the BRCA mutations. Many women find these tests empowering—finding out your genetic status can open the door to medical options and some research studies. On the other hand, finding out your risk can sometimes feel overwhelming—both to you and your loved ones. This personal choice should an informed one.
Decision: Speak to a genetic counselor to help you decide what's best for you. Whatever option you choose, take your time with this very personal decision. Remember that the tests are not definitive since currently they only detect two genes involved. (Other mutations associated with hereditary breast cancer occur very rarely and doctors do not yet test for them.) With the constantly advancing knowledge in this field, be sure you get up-to-date information. And remember—there is no right or wrong answer, just the one you decide is best for you.
Taking Care of Yourself
Results from genetic testing can help you make more-informed decisions about your health, whether you are at high risk or already have breast cancer:
If you are at high risk for hereditary breast cancer, you have options for protecting yourself. Take your time and gather accurate information about these very personal decisions. Options include:
- Medicine or chemoprevention
- Preventive, or prophylactic surgery to remove breasts and/or ovaries
- Surveillance with MRI or ultrasound to detect breast cancer early
If you already have breast cancer, and tests show a hereditary mutation, this information can still inform and improve your healthcare decisions and treatment. Your test results can also help your family members understand their risk.

Bright Blessings!
As Summer continues onward, this it the time to enjoy the beautiful blueish blooms in your Witch's Gardens that are associated with Hyssop. A classic must for most magical herbalists, it is one of the majestic residents. It's uses are many and this is the time that those who are harvesting should be very busy.
For those unfamiliar with the term magical herbalism, it would be time well spent to check out a copy of Scott Cunningham's book of the same title. A classic, this Michigan native basically made the standard, along with his famous book "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs". It is almost unheard of for those who are on the paths of herbal magic not at least heard of this book in the Great Lakes region.
Hyssop, or Hyssopus officinalis in its Latin name, corresponds to Jupiter and fire in many traditions. It is a short green semi evergreen that scents the air and spreads out from its base in thick spires. The leaves are narrow, and the flowers are small and fragrant. For magical use, as well as for tea, it is the flowers and leaves that are used.
However, this columnist, having been raised by Parents of the Heart (my term for parents who may not be your biological, but are your parents just the same) who had seen the Great Depression, it has always been my way to not throw out anything that may be useful. So this writer use the stems in my fuming bundles, in elixirs, my fire pit bundles, and many other ways. Waste not, want not.
The plant is also used for attracting bees. The bee population is under ever growing threat, and by having this plant in the garden it is a way to help them survive. It also attracts other critters, so a good opportunity to see local small wildlife comes with it.
The medicinal uses for this herb are amazing. Some of the most commonly known are as
"calming and tonic herb, Hyssop has an expectorant action and can be used to treat bronchitis and respiratory infections and to help reduce fever when taken as a tincture or tea. An oil infusion made from hyssop is useful in treating bruises, cuts, eczema and can also be useful for wound healing..."
as listed by The Way of the Witch.
But there are also a myriad of uses in the magical realm as well. Purification, healing, and protection are the most common. As a matter of course, it is also used as in my personal cleaning blends for many rituals. It is also a great tea. However, it is always wise to check your correspondences when designing your own.
Usually, you can get two harvests from each year. Be mindful to cut the flowers as soon as they are in full bloom. Do not let them go to seed if you want to get more blooms.
To dry them, wrap small bunches at the base of the cut stems with either yarn or string. Tie firmly, taking care not to overtighten which can result in broken stems. Hang upside down in a dry cool place, until ready. Keep in mind, that if you leave them outside and it rains, you will get really brown results, so keep them inside.
This plant is a perennial, so once it is established, expect vigorous growth. It winters well and even survived the Michigan Polar Vortex last winter. The same could not be said for the Rosemary next to it.
You can either braid the stems into wands, make wreathes, or leave them straight while drying. It is a personal choice. Then afterwards it can be placed in containers for future use. Separating the bounty into different containers and charging them to purpose is a great way to save time and effort later. Also, it never hurts to put a tiny Citrine in the bottom of the containers as well.
One usage that may not come immediately to mind, but one that is satisfying, is making hyssop infused oil for the magical lamp. Using a clean base like olive oil and making an oil with the irregular stems and leaves of the hyssop is a way to make a Blessed Lamp. This can be used at home, or given as a gift.
Reading this and wanting to get some hyssop but it is not growing outside? A great herbs supplier locally is Lotions Potions and Notions right here in Michigan. For a review of some of her products you can visit the review "The nitty gritty on Lotions Potions and Notions products" in the Detroit Paganism Examiner.
Also, most online and brick and mortar shops specializing in holistic or magical clientele usually have this item in stock. A beloved favorite of Detroiters, Donna Adams at Discount Candles can also fulfill your herbal needs with a smile. Located in the Eastern Market community at 1400 Gratiot Ave, it is a quick drive or bus ride away. And yes, they do ship.

Tom Smart, Deseret News
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The Utah gymnasts kept the longest streak in collegiate gymnastics alive by qualifying for a record 38th-straight national championship. It didn't come easy though. Entering the final rotation of the night, the Utes were tied with Denver for the second and final qualifying position into the NCAA Championships.
That's when they brought on the heat. The Utes burned red hot on the vault, posting the best score by any team on the event, a 49.40. Across the floor, Denver went the other direction on the beam, scoring a 48.275 to drop all the way to fourth.
Two-time defending NCAA champion Alabama won the Tuscaloosa Regional with a 197.400, followed by Utah (196.400), Iowa State (195.400), Denver (195.275), Brigham Young (194.475) and Kent State (193.500). Alabama and Utah are now headed to the 32nd NCAA Gymnastics Championship in Los Angeles, which begins in two weeks (April 19-21).
"This is the hardest meet of the year because there is so much pressure," Marsden said. "Oregon State and Nebraska were both upset, which shows you what can happen at regionals. Even though we didn't have our best meet, we didn't count a fall, we kept battling, and when we really needed to come through, we did."
Marsden even had nice things to say about Utah's worst event of the night — the balance beam — where a 48.650 allowed Denver to pull ahead of the Utes. It was the beam that cost the Utes a shot at the Pac-12 Championships two weeks ago, but Marsden was fairly pleased with an even lower score tonight.
"We really didn't have a bad beam set tonight," he insisted, despite the score. "It was the lowest scoring event of the night overall and we felt pretty good about our routines. That's why you can't base your performance entirely on scores. It wasn't a perfect meet, but we stayed pretty relaxed and people didn't panic like they did at the Pac-12."
Heading into the final event tied with Denver at 147.000, Marsden said he was confident his team would advance because of its draw. "I felt very good because we were headed to our best event and Denver was going to the beam."
He was spot on. Tory Wilson won her 11th (of 12) vault title of the year, tying with teammate Georgia Dabritz with a score of 9.925. Mary Beth Lofgren added a 9.875 and Becky Tutka started the set with a 9.85 in her first career vault.
Prior to their explosive vault set, the Utes moved into a tie with Denver by scoring a 49.175 on the floor exercise and were paced by Nansy Damianova's meet-tying and career-tying 9.925.
The Utes started the meet on a bye before beginning their actual competition on the bars. All six Utes hit their routines, scoring a 49.175 and led by Dabritz's 9.90 and a 9.85 from Kassandra Lopez. After one rotation, Utah was tied with Denver for second place (the Pioneers scored a 49.175 on the floor). Alabama was first with a 49.35 on vault.
Scores were hard to come by on the balance beam, where the top marks came from Lopez (9.775) and Lofgren (9.825). Dabritz fell for her fifth time of the season on the beam, forcing the Utes to count a 9.65 from Breanna Hughes (who, after dismounting from the beam, spent the rest of the meet in the locker room with an allergic reaction that required medical care).
After two complete rotations, Utah (97.825) had dropped to third behind Alabama (98.725) and Denver (98.050). Iowa State closed the gap on the Utes with a 97.625 two-event score. Kent State (96.70) and BYU (96.450) were fifth and sixth.
Utah started slowly out of its bye, building enough steam as the event went on to move into a tie with Denver for second, each with a 147.00. Top performers were Wilson (9.875) and Damianova (9.925).

Tim Robbie joined vegasinsider.com as a handicapper. Here's the bio they have on him:
Tim Robbie - About Me
Tim Robbie literally grew up around pro football. From the age of 11, when his father, Joe Robbie, founded the Miami Dolphins in 1966, Tim worked in many different capacities with the Dolphins.
As a high school senior, Tim charted plays for legendary coach Don Shula and offensive wizards Howard Schnellenberger and Monte Clark, learning the team's playbook inside and out. The year was 1972, when the Dolphins posted the only undefeated season in the modern era of pro football.
At the age of 34, Tim was named President of the Dolphins and Chairman of the Board of Joe Robbie Stadium following his father's death in 1990. Tim held these positions for several successful seasons, until the team and stadium were eventually sold to H. Wayne Huizenga.
Over the past several years, Tim has taken on many other business interests, but maintains his ties to the NFL through local radio programs in the South Florida area. He currently serves as an expert analyst on Spotscastnow.com's NFL programs, and has shown exceptional prowess picking NFL games on radio shows and Sportscastnow for more than a decade.
Vegas Insider is pleased to welcome Tim to our team of experts.

The First-Time Homebuyer Credit was introduced in 2008 in the Housing and Recovery Act. They made some improvements and changes since. But if you haven't jumped on board and taken advantage of this credit you need to do it very soon. They have extended it until 6/30/2010.
Here's some insight on the credit and how you qualify, because there are rules and guidelines to follow in order to receive the credit.
For those who purchased in 2008 the 7500.00 credit was considered a no-interest loan to be paid back over 15 years. We can only hope they amend this and make it a credit instead of a loan as they have done for 2009 and 2010 home buyers, we'll have to wait and see. The $8000.00 maximun credit given to buyers who purchased or will pruchase in 2009 and 2010 have a sweet deal that is a true credit and doesn't have to be paid back. It's based on 10% of the purchase price of your home with the maximun credit of $8000.00 and a limited purchase price of 800K. I know some of you thought everyone got 8K, sorry to burst your bubble but it's still a great reason to get out there and buy a house. Prices are low, rates and low and WOW you get a credit from Uncle Sam you don't have to pay back. You will have to keep and live in your new home for three years, so no investors or flipper's are allow. As long as you haven't own a home in the passed three years.
First thing to do is call a mortgage broker, your local bank or someone you know in the mortgage business and get qualified for the loan. They will be able to tell you how much you can spend on a home depending on your income and debts. Then find a trusted Realtor, ask around, someone in your family or friend can hopefully refer you to someone they like have worked with in the passed.
Then go shopping for your home. Your Pre-qualification letter or better yet your Pre-Approval letter from your lender will make your offer stand out from the others without a letter. It's a buyer's market but you may be dealing with REO's meaning the lender is the sellers, in most cases that lender will want to make sure you are qualified and run your credit again, this is really not good if you don't get the home and your back out looking again, this could happen over and over again and possibly lower your fico scores. Be careful your letter should be adequate for any lender along with your fannie or freddie approval. You'll want an experience agent for this and a tough negotiator.
There are some new rules being released by IRS as this article is written, but if your claiming this credit on your 2009 tax return you will not be able to file electronically, any return asking for this credit must be filed by mail. Plus they are raising income levels for people who purchased after Nov 6,2009. This is great because it will allow more people to qualify. Best to seek the advise of a qualified tax professional for all the details about the credit.
The feds have taken it one step further by adding current homeowner's a credit too. It's call the "long-time resident credit" of up to $6500.00. It's a great time to upgrade and buy a new home.

We all lost a character and a man of character
Finding proud men who go above and beyond to serve his fellow man are becoming more difficult to find.
Sadly, we lost one such gentle man this week.
Charlie Freeby should be home today after an extended rehabilitation stint, getting himself primed for another sports-filled weekend of smiles, laughs and yelling at the ballgames on television.
He should be relaxing on Saturday morning and watching Chuck Freeby, his youngest son, work the microphone of tonight's Warsaw-Wawasee boys basketball replay on WHME.
Instead, young Chuck — Charlie Freeby Jr., if you will — will harness his emotions, sort through his game notes, think lovingly about his dad and make him proud. Again.
Charlie Sr. passed away Sunday morning after 81 glorious years with us.
"My dad loved watching (the) Game of the Week," Chuck told me Tuesday, "and he would be sorely disappointed if I missed a broadcast on his account."
Chuck won't miss a beat tonight and he hasn't missed a beat since I met him.
Nearly 30 years ago, as a young Truth sports stringer, I was assigned my first high school baseball game at Central's Rice Field. Dennis Kraft, The Truth's sports editor then, told me that if I had any problems or questions, to see a guy named Charlie Freeby.
No problem.
I arrived at the game and walked upstairs to the pressbox. There I found a scrawny high school kid with a scorebook, a few pencils and a stack of cassette tapes next to the public address microphone.
The young man had a Cubs cap pulled down just above his eyes.
I asked, "Can you tell me where I can find Charlie Freeby?"
The young man's head snapped around as he announced, "You got him!"
Young Charlie Freeby, who as an eighth-grader at North Side Middle School, wrote to Kraft about becoming a sports writer at The Truth. Later, while a student at the University of Notre Dame, he became one for a short period of time.
He was a good writer then and he remains one today.
Now an accomplished, highly-recognized broadcaster, as well as a good friend, Chuck Freeby demonstrates the same traits as his father — devoted, loving family man, a servant to the world in a variety of capacities and a sense of humor with few peers.
Chuck's topical, razor-sharp wit is as plentiful and on-point as anyone I know. After reveling in the warmth of Wednesday's memorial service for his dad, I now know where Chuck gets it.
Charlie Freeby, as Chuck so eloquently eulogized, loved few things more than keeping his family laughing and stepping up for his community, whether it be as a decorated soldier in Korea, a custodian for the Elkhart Community Schools, or as a substitute teacher. A class of Hawthorne Elementary School youngsters sent a poster-sized sympathy message to the Freeby family this week. It was proudly displayed at Trinity United Methodist Church.
It's easy to remember Charlie Freeby, mostly because he'd never let you forget him.
Chuck shared a a number of precious stories Wednesday, including one about coaching his daughter, Rosie, as she played in a softball game at Osolo Little League game three summers ago. Charlie, portable oxygen tank and all, attended as he often did for his 11 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
"I was coaching in a key situation, with our team up by two, runners on second and third,'' Chuck said. "I decided to intentionally walk the other team's best hitter, loading the bases."
A risky tactic, yes, but appropriately thought out. It just wasn't well-received by all.
At that moment, Chuck went on to explain, a voice from the bleachers bellowed, "Guess you don't want to win, putting the winning run on base."
A bewildered assistant coach looked to Chuck and asked, "Who is that yelling?"
"That,'' Chuck said, "is my father."
I'd bet anything there was a huge grin behind those teasing words.
I had met Charlie Sr. only a handful of times in my life, so obviously I didn't know him well, but after listening for about an hour, it dawned on me that I've known him for a very long time — through Chuck.
The similarities between father and son are as uncanny as they are admirable.
Charles Freeby Sr. — a life teacher — was a character as well as a man of character.
By following in his dad's footsteps nearly stride-for-stride as he has, Charles Freeby Jr. apparently has learned his lessons well.
