Oysters are synonymous with the Gulf Coast of Alabama, with annual events like the Gulf Coast Oyster Cook-off at The Hangout and year-round dining options for your entire family. Even if you've never shucked your own oyster, you'll be a pro in no time with these handy tips.
Shucking oysters isn't as hard as you might think. Sure, it's easiest to let the restaurant do the work for you. But you might find yourself intrigued when you stop by a shop such as Blalock Seafood and Specialty Market in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach and see raw oysters waiting for you to take back to your beach vacation condo or house. If you get the opportunity, don't miss the Oyster Cook-off at The Hangout each fall, where you can watch the pros as they compete for bragging rights as the fastest shucker. You'll see that long gone are the days when using a flathead screwdriver to pry open the fresh oysters was the norm - now you can find specialized tools that are not only safer, but yield perfect results every time.
Chris Sherman, a resident of Duxbury, Massachusetts, recently sat down with WBUR, a Boston-based radio station, to explain how to properly shuck an oyster. Although he lives in the Northeast, his expert advice applies no matter where you are located.
"Flip the oyster over so that the cup side is down," Sherman explained. "You put the point of the knife to the point of the hinge, and I put my thumb on the blade to kind of get a little more leverage, and then you just wiggle it and then you twist the knife."
As he's talking, Sherman is also shucking. As soon as he finishes his explanation, you can hear the satisfying sound of the oyster popping open.
Raw oysters aren't for everyone, but with a touch of the right flavors, even those who are initially squeamish can become full-fledged fans. Try to warm up your family members to the delicious food by serving each oyster with a dollop of barbecue sauce or ground spicy sausage like chorizo. You could even get fancy and make oysters Rockefeller, which are served with anything from fresh herbs to spinach. Instead of raw, you may prefer your oysters grilled, poached, baked, steamed or even pan-fried. Or use them as an ingredient in any number of dishes - for example, here in the South, oyster dressing is quite popular.
What's so great about staying at a Gulf Shores or Orange Beach rental is that you can buy the freshest oysters of the day and enjoy your freshly prepared meal in the comforts of your home away from home!

By Ms. Rachel V Goodspeed (USACE)January 12, 2010
WIESBADEN, Germany -- Over the next four years, Department of Defense school projects in Europe will bring almost $300 million in renovations and construction projects to the Army engineers in Europe.
Because of the Department of Defense Dependents Schools-Europe's sudden upsurge in projects, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District has worked on developing more focused project delivery teams to effectively manage the program, said Doug Delaney, the District's DoDDS program manager.
"Not only do these projects have large dollar amounts attached to them - designing and constructing educational facilities requires a different approach and way of thinking," he said.
In fiscal year 2009, the District's DoDDS program only totaled $15 million. Today, major upcoming projects include a new high school in Kaiserslautern, new elementary and high schools at BAfAPblingen, and new elementary, middle and high schools at SHAPE.
Unlike other projects, constructing new schools can happen close to or even on active campuses, affecting construction schedules and, more importantly, safety issues, Delaney said.
"We have to ensure as we work on these projects that we are conscious of the students - how are we going to work around the students and around their schedules; how are we going to keep the students safe," he said. "We try and get them moved out of the area and work around their school schedules, such as doing as much work off site as possible and working during their summer break."
However, even those located away from active school campuses can present their own unique challenges.
In the heavily wooded BAfAPblingen Training Area near Stuttgart, for instance, a prehistoric burial ground and zone of potential artifacts is located on the project site, causing issues, said Steve Umbrell, a District project manager.
"We are working closely with the German authorities who will do a search of the zone to document any findings and then move it. The burial mound will be avoided altogether," Umbrell said. "We've been very attentive to the environmental factors we're facing with this site and our environmental teams have been on board early to help us determine necessary mitigation measures as we progress."
In Kaiserslautern, Vogelweh Military Community is seeing a transformation that puts multiple projects in close proximity of each other, said Kelley Grant, a District project manager.
"Because there are a lot of projects going on in this area that are in close proximity to each other, coordination is key to avoid creating a domino effect," Grant said. "We're working closely with the base, the German construction agencies and other stakeholders to address potential challenges now so we can address issues up front before they become problems."
With field engineers already on site for demolition projects in the area, Grant said they were able to get involved early and provide valuable input on schedules keeping design running smoothly.
But no matter what the issue, Delaney said the most important thing the project teams can and are doing is communicating with their DoDDS counterparts and with the community to ensure the district delivers quality facilities that meet the students' and teachers' needs.
"There's so much work going on here and I want to ensure we can all give these projects the attention they deserve. I very much want this program to result in major successes," he said.

Romney Needs Spending Cutters
The Washington Times today discusses whether Mitt Romney's political and policy team is looking too much like George W. Bush's team. The reporter quotes me in his article:
Democrats' Leftward Drift is Blocking Tax Reform
Is Washington gridlock the GOP's fault? That's what Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute and Thomas Mann of the Brookings Institution claim in a recent Washington Post op-ed. According to them, Republicans have become "ideologically extreme" and are blocking needed bipartisan reforms.
A Contradiction in Keynesian Fiscal Policy
There's an internal contradiction in the way that Keynesian-oriented economists and policymakers address the federal budget situation. I've noticed it over and over. A passage in a Washington Post op-ed today by Mohamed El-Erian of Pimco captures it perfectly:
Corporate Tax Laffer Curve
The Sunday New York Times described Apple's successful efforts to reduce its U.S. and California corporate tax burdens. The article hints that the situation is a moral outrage, and it includes sob stories of governments that are supposedly hurting because they don't raise enough tax revenues from businesses.
Tax Complexity: Am I a Liar?
Andrew Sullivan cited an op-ed of mine last week regarding the complexity of the tax code.
Quantum Leap by Ban Ki-moon
I happened to hear some of the comments by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in Washington today. The comments regarded the Secretary General's "Sustainable Energy for All" initiative.
Milton Friedman on Tax Freedom Day
The Tax Foundation reported that Tuesday was Tax Freedom Day (TFD), which is the day that Americans stop "working for the government" through their tax payments and start working for themselves.
The Tax-Code Mess
In recent weeks President Obama has been on a quixotic search-and-destroy mission for the few remaining millionaires who aren't already paying a huge pile of taxes. Meanwhile, the rest of us face the real-world struggles of filing our IRS returns and dealing with the hugely complex tax system that the president has done nothing to fix.
ALEC's Rich States, Poor States
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) released the fifth edition of its "Rich States, Poor States" report yesterday. For fiscal wonks the report is a fun read, as it is chock full of tax and economic comparisons between the 50 states.

WASHINGTON - Melba Munguia is so determined to be a college student that, like hundreds of thousands of other young people, she practically has become one in high school.
She took three college-level Advanced Placement courses as a sophomore and five more as a junior. Having aced them, she begins 12th grade at Miami Senior High School with another five AP courses: English, Spanish language, statistics, U.S. government and world history.
"A lot of people are pushing themselves to take as many AP classes and tests as they can," said Munguia, a 17-year-old with eyes on an Ivy League education. "I think it's amazing that people really care, that they want to be pushed. ... They're looking to their future."
The Advanced Placement Program, which began as a tiny experiment for top seniors seeking college courses and credit, has swelled to the point of altering the high school experience.
In about 50 years, the number of students taking annual AP exams has grown from about 1,000 to more than 1.1 million, with a 140 percent increase during the last decade alone.
A few hundred public high schools used to offer AP; now two-thirds of them do. By last year, one out of every three public high school graduates had taken at least one AP test. The subject list has more than tripled, from popular core courses such as history and biology to additions in the arts and social sciences, with more world languages coming soon.
Such growth is widely viewed as an education success story, because more students have been given access to training colleges demand of them.
But some educators see an academic arms race, with students piling up AP courses to impress colleges and schools adding classes without ensuring teachers are prepared for them.
The AP goal remains to challenge students to analyze subjects at the kind of depth found in a college classroom, with a payoff that goes beyond learning. Most U.S. colleges give students who pass AP tests credit or higher placement so they don't repeat ground.
Yet as more sophomores and juniors take AP courses and exams, their motivation has become not to just to prepare for college, but to gain an edge getting in to one.
College admission officers place more importance on grades in college-prep courses such as AP than they do on any other factor - including SAT scores, grade point average, class rank and student essays, a 2003 survey found. Colleges give less emphasis to AP exam grades in admitting students, in part because such scores may come in too late in the process.
The AP is not intended as an admissions tool, but the connection makes sense, said Trevor Packer, executive director of the AP Program at the not-for-profit College Board.
Research shows students who have taken two or more AP exams have better rates of completing bachelor's degrees. And the College Board itself promotes the admissions angle, telling students AP can dramatically improve their chances of getting in where they want.
In Munguia's school in Miami, where most students are Hispanic and many come from poor families, enrollment in AP courses has tripled in the last five years. The school has expanded tutoring and given awards to AP students to keep them encouraged.
"The old philosophy was that only the very best students were sent to AP courses. We've changed that," said Erick Hueck, who oversees the AP program and teaches AP chemistry at Miami Senior High. "We're going to be more inclusive. We're going for the greater good."
Nationwide, minority participation is improving but remains a challenge. Hispanics and blacks make up 31 percent of high school students but only 17 percent of AP test-takers.
Researchers have found schools have steered minority students away from AP courses, and those who make it in sometimes endure the scrutiny of being the only minority in class.
At Edinburg North High School in southern Texas, where many students are learning English, all of them are invited to take AP classes. Eva Torres, the dean of instruction, tells teachers not to worry how students do on AP exams as long as they're engaged in class.
"These students often don't get the credit they're due," she said. "A lot of times people don't understand that it's a language barrier they have, not a lack of a capacity to learn."
Yet Education Trust, a nonprofit that advocates for poor and minority children, says test scores raise questions about whether all AP classes are high quality. In 2003, for example, 69 percent of white students passed one AP calculus course. Only 34 percent of blacks did.
Jeannie Oakes, a UCLA education professor, says giving students access to more AP courses without sufficiently preparing them and their teachers is a "cruel hoax." She served on a National Research Council panel that found AP courses were improperly used to rank schools and that classes lacked the kind of quality standards that the brand name implies.

The Cinema School
BRONX NY 10472 Map
The Cinema School
Buses: Bx11, Bx27, Bx36, Bx4, Bx4A, Q44
What's special:
The downside:
Our review:
The Cinema School is a promising new high school in the Bronx for bright students who want to explore their creative vision through film. The school's lead partner is the Ghetto Film School, a non-profit organization, which provides film and production education, industry internships, and a guest lecture series.
The four-year Cinema Studies curriculum includes filmmaking 101, music videos with storytelling, and screen writing, culminating in a senior thesis project. In a tenth grade film class we visited, students made their own short silent films after watching Charlie Chaplin's The Kid. During a six-week period in the winter, students work exclusively on film projects: 9th-graders work on animation and 10th-graders make music videos.
The theme of cinema is woven into academic classes as much as possible. In a humanities class, for example, students reframed a movie plot into a haiku and created story boards to identify plot elements in the novel Lord of the Flies.
Classes, with about 23 students, are smaller than typical for the city's schools. In many classes we visited, students seemed motivated and engaged. One girl told us she typically does three hours of homework a night. However, there was some fidgeting in at least one class we visited.
Students with an average below 75 are placed on academic probation and must attend Saturday school six months prior to the Regents exam. They also receive extra math and reading help in pull-out classes. Advisors meet with all students twice daily to check in on progress. Students are grouped by ability for Earth science and math. Bobbish plans to offer advanced placement classes starting in 2011.
[Assistant Principal Keisha Warner replaced founding principal Rex Bobbish in 2013.]
The school shares a new building at the James Monroe High School campus with a middle school, Mott Hall V. Some parents have expressed concern about the neighborhood around Monroe, but former Principal Bobbish said it's "much safer than it used to be." Safety officers and school administrators maintain a "safe passage corridor" to ensure that students get to and from the subway safely, he said.
Special education: The school offers SETSS. There is one special education teacher.
Admissions: The school gives preference to students with an 85 average and standardized tests scores of Level 3 or above. About one-third do not meet those standards. The school admits mid-year transfers. (Lydie Raschka, October 2010, updated 2013)

Cuba stars at Brazil integration summit
News analysis Two recent happenings are of signal importance for the future of Latin American politics. They are the 50th anniversary of Cuba's socialist revolution on Jan. 1, 2009 and a gathering in Brazil on Dec. 16-17 highlighting progress toward Latin American integration.
Gaza Crisis: Analysis and a Way Forward
Thank you for joining us for this special interview with Susan Webb of the People's Weekly World. Webb has covered the Middle East for the People's Weekly World, www.pww.org, for several years and recently wrote an article for that newspaper called Gaza Crisis: Time to Break with Cold War Policies.
WORLD NOTES: January 17
Peru: Witchhunt builds United Nations: Support for gay rights Portugal: Renewable energy is priority Democratic Republic of Congo: 'Blood Coltan' spurs conflicts Egypt: Cited for right abuse Cuba: Infant mortality is low
Why do they hate Cuba?
The U.S. government assumes that regular rules don't apply to Cuba. Take for example the arms shipments proceeding from Honduras to Florida. Neither the U.S. military nor a military contractor is involved. Instead, Sanco Global Arms of Miami is taking charge of 4,600 FAL rifles, 800 AK-47 rifles, 30 20mm anti-aircraft guns, 48 RPG-7 rockets, 2,500 unspecified rockets, and hundreds of boxes of munitions and spare parts.
U.S. hidden role in Hamas rise to power
The United States bears much of the blame for the ongoing bloodshed in the Gaza Strip and nearby parts of Israel. Indeed, were it not for misguided Israeli and American policies, Hamas would not be in control of the territory in the first place.
Israel: Over 150,000 protest Gaza military operation
Over 150,000 people demonstrated Jan. 3 in Israel against Operation Cast Lead: in the northern Arab town of Sakhnin and in Tel-Aviv. The demonstration in Sakhnin was, by far, the biggest such protest in Israel. According to organizers, it was the largest protest held by Arab-Palestinians in Israel in many years.
Communist Party denounces Gaza invasion
The Communist Party released the following statement on Jan. 4. The Communist Party of the USA expresses its outrage at Israel's invasion of Gaza, carried out in defiance of world public opinion.
Gaza ceasefire now
'There is no military solution to the conflict' The Communist Party issued the following statement Dec. 31, 2008. The Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA) adds its voice to the growing international call by the United Nations Security Council, UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and many others for an immediate cease-fire by both the Israeli government and Hamas, and a return to honest negotiations based on the two-state model.
Cuba's revolution has inspired humanity for 50 years
Jan. 1, 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution. It is an occasion for rejoicing by all who love justice and struggle as partisans for the working class, the poor and the oppressed.

He answered several questions from the audience regarding fracking, Obamacare, forest management, and the Upper Lochsa land exchange. But the two main audience concerns he addressed were national debt and immigration.
"Immigration is a great thing," said Congressman Labrador. "But like I said earlier, I think we need to do it legally. And that's why I continue to do the work to make sure that we have a modern legal immigration system so that we can all be proud. And especially the people who immigrated the right way."
The congressman also spoke his support for reducing punishment and mandatory sentencing for non-violent drug offenders.

The 2013 NFL draft will be an important one for the Miami Dolphins. Heading into their bye week, Miami stands at 3-3 and is tied for first place in the AFC East.
While this has exceeded expectations, there are still improvements to be made. On top of improvements at key positions, Miami also faces a few important players heading into free agency, with no guarantee that any of them will remain in South Florida.
With new players needed at key positions, and with players who might have to be replaced, what better way to spend the bye week than looking at some prospects the Miami Dolphins should consider for next April's draft?
I chose 25 prospects that the Dolphins ought to consider and start circling on their draft board. Why 25? Well part of it is to occupy as much of your time as humanly possible reading this, and partly out of sheer boredom since there's no game to preview this week
Not every player Miami (or the fans) would desire will be available, so it's best to have a backup plan at each draft position. I would recommend that Miami chooses the best player available at the positions of wide receiver, tight end, cornerback, safety, and guard with each pick. Most of the prospects on this list play those positions.
Now these numbers aren't ranking these players in any particular order, but it's a safe bet that the higher the number of these players, the higher the round they will go in.
So get comfortable with your tablet or laptop (seriously, get comfortable it's a long slideshow), and let's take a look at the 25 players Miami should have on its board.

Mangrove ecosystems for nature protection and food productivity
Mangrove forests are relatively rare covering only 152,000 km2 worldwide in 123 tropical and sub-tropical nations and territories. Healthy mangrove forests contribute to the food security of millions of people around the world through the production of numerous fishery and forest products, and by supporting commercial coastal and offshore fisheries and providing locations for aquaculture.
The health of these forest ecosystems is a key priority of the Man and Biosphere (MAB) programme, which has undertaken several mangrove restoration projects and studies in different biosphere reserves in relation to nature protection and food productivity. The programme has been invited to present these activities at the 'International Conference on Halophytes for Food Security in Dry Lands', organized by the University of Qatar in Doha from 12 to 13 May 2014.
The conference will provide international experts with a forum to discuss new ideas and approaches to improving food and water security. It will also establish working groups to assist the University of Qatar and the Qatari Government in meeting these challenges over the long term.

Tony Page, the driving force behind Page's Okra Grill in Mount Pleasant, was also an avid tennis player. He passed away earlier this year and his widow, Kelly Page, is raising money for a 10-by-28-foot backboard at Maybank Tennis Center in his memory. Kelly and Tony met at the tennis center, playing on a mixed doubles team and eventually got engaged there. "Tony accepted all invitations to play and made friends with everyone he met on and off the courts throughout Charleston County," Kelly Page said.
Kelly Page and Charleston Parks Conservancy have a goal of raising $10,450 for this project by mid-September with a dedication ceremony tentatively scheduled for Oct. 17 at the tennis center. The Charleston Parks Conservancy is accepting donations for this project on its website at www.budurl.com/5udp.

Why should you begin a case analysis with a financial analysis? When are other approaches appropriate?
Solutions for Chapter 12
Why should you begin a case analysis with a financial analysis? When are other approaches appropriate?
One should begin a case analysis with a financial analysis, as the financial analysis easily depicts how critical is the situation for a firm. A firm's direct objective is to earn profits. Therefore by understanding the financial performance, it is possible to understand the firm's overall performance. If the firm is doing financially well, one must focus on the areas of the firm's strength and further work on those areas to take the firms from a good to a better situation. If the firm is not performing well financially, one must focus on understanding the problem and thereby search for the weakness. Based on the search, one must first decide upon solving the short term problem and further look ahead to the long term one. Financial analysis is the quickest way to understand a firm's area of strength and weakness. It can be done by using the financial data available in the annual report of the company.
Other approaches are appropriate when the financial data is not available. Other approaches can be taken when the case to be analyzed is only concerned with functioning of a particular department or a particular aspect and not with overall functioning of the organization.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - A petition, initiated by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ), will be presented to United Nations Secretary General Ban ki-Moon this week.
More than 55,000 evangelical Christians from 128 countries signed the petition, entitled 'Stop a Nuclear Iran,' which calls for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to be indicted for incitement to genocide against Israel.
"The silence of most Christian clergy in the face of Germany's horrific bid to annihilate European Jewry left a deep stain on the churches," ICEJ director Reverend Malcolm Hedding said.
"Yet from it has arisen a sense among multitudes of Christians today that we have an inescapable moral duty to earnestly speak out whenever another genocidal campaign threatens the Jewish people," he said.
"Unfortunately, we are concerned that just such a genocidal campaign is taking shape in the form of Iran's repeated threats to eliminate the Jewish state and its [Iran's] quest for nuclear means to carry out these threats," Hedding said.
The petition sites the U.N.'s failure to respond appropriately to Iran's "hostile campaign of public incitement to genocide."
"This campaign not only endangers Israel, but [it] is also a threat to the peace and security of the world community," the petition states.

At a time when people are criticized for accruing government benefits, the federal programs designed to feed the hungry are in fact underused.
That's one of the findings of the Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger's new report, "State of Hunger: Pennsylvania 2013."
Though participation in the food-stamp program (now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is soaring, there are still nearly a half-million Pennsylvanians eligible for SNAP who do not use the program, the report said.
"The biggest disconnect," said Julie Zaebst, interim director of the coalition, "is that there's lots of talk about waste, fraud, and abuse in federal nutrition programs that are actually undersubscribed.

Bucks' Salmons close to return to action
Skiles expects guard to be ready for opener
St. Francis — John Salmons could be in the Milwaukee Bucks' starting lineup when they open the regular season in one week in New Orleans.
That was the encouraging word from Salmons and Bucks coach Scott Skiles on Tuesday after the 6-foot-6 shooting guard practiced for the first time since the team opened camp in late September.
Salmons had been sidelined with a sprained right knee suffered while playing in a pickup game in his hometown of Philadelphia before camp.
"I did some running and a little bit of shooting," Salmons said of his activity Tuesday at the Cousins Center. "Not a whole lot of cutting yet. Maybe do some of that tomorrow and just go from there.
"Just go day-by-day and see if the swelling goes down. It's feeling pretty good right now."
If Salmons is not ready to go in the regular-season opener, Skiles has viable options.
Carlos Delfino, the current starter at small forward, can shift to the 2 guard spot. Or Skiles could go with third-year pro Chris Douglas-Roberts, who has started all six exhibition games at shooting guard and is averaging 11.2 points.
But the Bucks coach made it clear he is hoping Salmons will be ready on Oct. 27 when the Bucks face the Hornets.
"We want John to be healthy and playing," Skiles said. "I would anticipate by then he'll be ready to play and be fine.
"It's just a question can he get any exhibition minutes and how much practice time he has leading up to that game."
Salmons said he hopes to be able to play in the Bucks' exhibition finale Friday night against Minnesota at the Bradley Center.
"The next one (Thursday against Cleveland in Columbus, Ohio) might be far-fetched, but we'll see what happens Friday," Salmons said.
Asked about playing in New Orleans, Salmons said, "Yeah, I'm very confident."
The Bucks did not practice Monday, but Salmons put in some valuable time on his own.
"He ran hard yesterday (Monday) and shot a couple hundred shots," Skiles said. "He's getting close."
Salmons said the injury occurred when he reached in for the ball and hyperextended his knee while defending in a pickup game.
Several weeks of rest were required, and the Bucks wanted to make sure that Salmons would not suffer a setback by returning too quickly.
Bucks center Andrew Bogut said he was glad to have Salmons back on the practice floor.
"It's great to see him running," Bogut said. "He's an integral part of our scoring system, especially last year when we had lapses scoring the ball. He would come in and knock down shots for us."
Salmons was signed during the off-season to a five-year contract worth as much as $39 million. The Bucks worked hard to retain him after he helped lead Milwaukee into the Eastern Conference playoffs.
He appeared in 30 games with the Bucks after being acquired in February and averaged 19.9 points while shooting nearly 47% from the field.
Salmons scored in double figures in 27 of those 30 games and the Bucks went 22-8 after he arrived in the deal with the Chicago Bulls at the trade deadline.
"Our goal is to try to win 50 games or more, make a run at winning the conference," Salmons said. "We want to do better than we did last year and see what happens once we get to the playoffs."
The Bucks have yet to test their anticipated regular rotation, given that Bogut played 14 minutes in his first game on Sunday and newcomer Corey Maggette and Salmons have not played in the exhibition season.
"You've got to get it, and everybody has to learn the plays," Salmons said. "Everybody has got to be on a string out there. That's the only way we can compete.
"But I think everybody is making strides. It's still early. We've still got a long way to go."
Salmons said he's happy to have signed a five-year deal after spending time with three teams (Sacramento, Chicago and Milwaukee) over the last two seasons.
"It definitely feels good, just being somebody that people rely on every night," Salmons said.
"Every night is not going to be perfect, but every night I take pride in coming out and playing hard and trying to help my team win."

Home loan entitles Individuals to Deduction Under Section 80C of up to Rs. 1.50 Lakh and Interest Deduction under section 24 of up to Rs. 2 Lakh. Articles deals with Faqs on Benefit U/s. 24 and 80C on Jointly Owned Property, Under Construction Property, multiple properties and Simultaneous benefit of Interest exemption and HRA.
You will be eligible to claim both the interest and principal components of your repayment during the year.
Ans:-Yes, if your wife is working and has a separate source of income, both of you can claim separate deductions in your income tax returns.The repayment of principal amount of the loan can be claimed as a deduction under section 80C up to a maximum amount of Rs. 1.50 (Rs. 1 Lakh up to A.Y. 2014-15) lakh individually by each co-owner.
In cases where the house is owned by more than one person and is also self-occupied by each co-owner, each co-owner shall be entitled to the deduction individually on account of interest on borrowed money up to a maximum amount of Rs. 2 lakh (Rs. 1.50 Lakh up to A.Y. 2014-15). If the house is given on rent, there is no restriction on this amount. Both co-owners can claim deductions in the ratio of ownership.
Ans: – As you have taken a joint home loan, both of you are eligible for tax exemption for your share of the EMI paid. For claiming income tax deduction, the EMI amount is divided into the principal and interest components. The repayment of the principal amount of loan is claimed as a deduction under section 80C of the Income Tax Act up to a maximum amount of Rs. 1.50 (Rs. 1 Lakh up to A.Y. 2014-15) lakh individually by each co-owner.

Of course, you can claim tax benefits on the home loan only if your home is ready to live in during that financial year. Once the construction on your home is complete, the HRA benefit stops. If you took a home loan, got possession of the house, have rented it out and stay in a rented accommodation, you will be entitled to all the three benefits mentioned above. However, in this case, the rent you receive would be considered as your taxable income.
Yes, you can claim income tax exemption if you are a co applicant in a housing loan as long as you are also the owner or co owner of the property in question. If you are only person repaying the loan, you can claim the entire tax benefit for yourself (provided you are an owner or co-owner). You should enter into a simple agreement with the other borrowers stating that you will be repaying the entire loan. If you are paying part of the EMI, you will get tax benefits in the proportion to your share in the loan.
Yes, you can get the 80C benefit on both loans. However, the total amount that you will be entitled to will be a total of Rs 150,000 (Rs. 1 Lakh up to A.Y. 2014-15) across both the homes.
The interest paid on a home loan is not directly deductible from your salary income for either of your flat loans. Income from house property will be calculated for each flat you own. If either of theses calculations shows a loss, this loss can be set off against your income from other heads.
As for Section 24 deduction, on your self occupied house you can take advantage of interest payments up to Rs.2,00,000 (Rs. 1.50 Lakh up to A.Y. 2014-15). For the other property, you can claim actual interest repaid, there is no limit for the same.
According to the Income-tax Act, 1961, where the property has been acquired or constructed with borrowed capital, the interest payable on such capital for the period prior to the year in which the property has been acquired shall be allowed as deduction in five equal instalments beginning from the year in which the property is acquired. Thus, the interest included in the loan instalment paid by you during the construction period shall be eligible for deduction from the year in which the flat is acquired/construction is completed.
The principal amount of the loan repaid till date shall not be available as a deduction under section 80C till the time the construction of the flat gets completed. Once the flat is completed and the possession is handed over to you, you will be eligible to claim deduction for interest paid on the loan under section 24(b) and principal amount of loan under section 80C. The total amount of deduction available under section 80C shall be limited to Rs. 1.50 lakh (Rs. 1 Lakh up to A.Y. 2014-15). Thus, as of now, you are not eligible for any tax benefit on such loan repayments.

It has been a turbulent year for Restaurant Group. The company has parted company with its chief finance officer and chief executive in recent months and experienced a half-year loss of £22.5m as a new menu has failed to entice customers.
The company has today announced the axing of 33 of Frankie & Benny's and Chiquitos restaurants in a bid to restore its fortunes after what it described as a 'challenging trading period'.
The company has reported that sales have fallen by 3.9% for the first half of the year, which is within its earlier guidance range, while pre-tax profits have slipped by 3.7% to £36.6m. Investors will take some relief that the Board has not yet resorted to cutting the dividend, which has been maintained at 6.8 pence per share.
