Hackers compromised Twitter accounts of The Associated Press on Tuesday, sending out a false tweet about an attack at the White House.
The false tweet said there had been two explosions at the White House and that President Barack Obama was injured. The attack on AP's Twitter account and the AP Mobile Twitter account was preceded by phishing attempts on AP's corporate network.
The AP confirmed that its Twitter account had been suspended following a hack and said it was working to correct the issue.
The false tweet went out shortly after 1 p.m. and briefly sent the Dow Jones industrial average sharply lower. The Dow fell 143 points, from 14,697 to 14,554, after the fake Twitter posting, and then quickly recovered.
A Securities and Exchange Commission spokeswoman declined comment on the incident.
AP spokesman Paul Colford said the news cooperative is working with Twitter to investigate the issue. The AP has disabled its other Twitter accounts following the attack, Colford added.
The Syrian Electronic Army claimed responsibility for the hack. This couldn't be corroborated.
The FBI has opened an investigation into the incident, spokeswoman Jenny Shearer said. She declined to elaborate.
The SEA has taken credit for a string of Web attacks on media targets it sees as sympathetic to Syria's rebels. Among the targets the group claims to have hacked are Twitter feeds of Al-Jazeera English and the BBC.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the president was fine. "I was just with him," Carney said at a news briefing.
Twitter had no comment.

There is a common trait that shows up on the road to building your wealth. This trait shows up as you continue to add to your investment portfolio. You do have an investment portfolio don't you? And don't even start the blame game when this trait is revealed in just a moment.
Here is what this is all about: in a word, Benchmarks. In and of itself, a benchmark would seem to be an important part of evaluating the performance of your investment portfolio. And, truth be told, if there were actually one accepted benchmark that could be universally applied, that might actually work. But the reality is that investment performance is not so simple.
Get a better benchmark
Instead of always trying to play catchup with an industry benchmark, there is a better strategy. A strategy that will allow you to grow and expand your portfolio over time without freaking out every time you see your portfolio statement.
Lessons From The Diet World
You are barely into the entryway of the store before you notice the section with the largest selection of books. Yep, it's weight loss.
Here's an analogy that illustrates the point being made here. Head into any neighborhood Barnes & Noble or similar bookstore. You are barely into the entryway of the store before you notice the section with the largest selection of books. Yep, it's weight loss. The point for you to see here is that if there were one diet that worked for everyone and every circumstance there would not be such a wide selection of diet books on those shelves.
The exact same concept applies to the world of investing. You can prove this for yourself with a quick Google search. Search for investment benchmarks and you get something like 26 Million Search Engine result pages. Obviously there are not that many ways to measure the performance of your investments, but still, the point should be glaringly obvious.
What "They" Say
Now take a look at the world of investments. Suppose you have a diversified investment portfolio that you have been funding for a few years. What do "they" tell you to look at? Most often, investors are told to compare the performance of their portfolio to that of a major benchmark. You might even discover that your financial advisor is using this benchmark to demonstrate how well you are doing. Suppose your portfolio is being compared to the S&P 500.
Actually, the S&P 500 is a commonly used portfolio performance comparison benchmark. How does this show up in the real world? Suppose you pay for the services of a personal financial advisor. Your advisor might send you a glowing report this quarter indicating that your investments outperformed the S&P 500. Wow! Your advisor is a genius. How about if you send in some more money?
Hold on a sec! What about the other side of this equation? Suppose, the next quarter you get a different letter. This time your advisor is lamenting the fact that for some inexplicable reason your portfolio lagged the S&P 500. Now what? Is your advisor an idiot? Or is there something else going on here?
Wrong Benchmarks
You see, the reality is that if the last scenario turned out to be true, you might not have reacted so well. In fact, you may have found your self dialing your advisor to find out what the_____ is going on here?
What's going on here is you are engaged in a comparison game that does not make sense over time. As you have probably noticed by now, the market goes up and the market goes down.

perllinux: Perl version 5 on Linux systems
perllinux - Perl version 5 on Linux systems
This document describes various features of Linux that will affect how Perl version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs.Experimental Support for Sun Studio Compilers for Linux OS
Sun Microsystems has released a port of their Sun Studio compilers for Linux. As of November 2005, only an alpha version has been released. Until a release of these compilers is made, support for compiling Perl with these compiler experimental.Also, some special instructions for building Perl with Sun Studio on Linux. Following the normal "Configure", you have to run make as follows:
LDLOADLIBS=-lc make
"LDLOADLIBS" is an environment variable used by the linker to link modules "/ext" modules to glibc. Currently, that environment variable is not getting populated by a combination of "Config" entries and "ExtUtil::MakeMaker". While there may be a bug somewhere in Perl's configuration or "ExtUtil::MakeMaker" causing the problem, the most likely cause is an incomplete understanding of Sun Studio by this author. Further investigation is needed to get this working better.

Ultrasound is a therapy that is utilized in the office to handle injuries related to joints, muscle spasms, as well as most soft tissues. While it shares the same name, this ultrasound is not the same as the type of ultrasound utilized diagnostically to screen internally in the body. This ultrasound creates small sound waves that in effect vibrate and massage soft tissues and muscle. These sound waves do an excellent job in facilitating the body's healing process in addition to decreasing scar tissue formation.
Certain ultrasounds also create a heating effect to help relax the muscles or tightness in the body. This heat combined with the overall features of the ultrasound help to start the healing process at the most basic cellular level speeding up your road to recovery.

Vacuum blasting, also referred to as dustless blasting, is a type of abrasive blasting technique wherein the surface being treated is cleaned by removing loose particles and used blast media.
The dust free blasting method uses a blast hose and suction hose that connect it to a control unit. The control unit provides the vacuum blasting machine with a mixture of pressurised air and blast media while extracting dust, loose particles and used blast media.
The control unit isolates the dust and loose particles from the used blast media and directs the latter back into the pressurised air flow. The waste container then collects the dust and loose particles.
Vacuum blasting is commonly used in locations in Gowerton where conventional abrasive media blasting may product dust and spillage. This includes HSE sensitive areas. When compared to traditional shot blasting, the process may take longer but requires less sheeting and scaffolding.
The average cost of shot blasting in Swansea within the abrasive blasting industry in Gowerton is £40 per hour.
This price generally refers to the industrial side, but various things can alter costs.
Some of the factors that can affect the cost of a shot blasting service include:
We use our vacuum system and other blasting machines to clean industrial floors.
Sandblasting is a widely used technique for cleaning industrial floors.
It is an effective way to clean floors made of concrete, metal, and other durable materials.
The technique can be used to remove stubborn stains, coatings, and paint, leaving behind a clean and smooth surface.
However, sandblasting can also create a lot of dust and requires proper safety precautions to avoid inhalation of the abrasive particles.
Therefore, it is important to use appropriate protective gear and to ensure that the sandblasting is done in a well-ventilated area.
We would also recommend vacuum blasting instead if you are looking to clean areas that require dustless blasting.
Shot blasting has many benefits over other methods of paint removal.
We have listed some of the advantages of shot blasting services below:
It's less expensive than other paint removal methods because it doesn't require expensive equipment or chemicals like acids or alkaline solutions.
All you need is compressed air and abrasive media blasting material like sand or glass beads that serve as a shot to blast away paint chips.
You can also use water instead of sand or beads in specific applications where water is available at low cost or no cost (such as when cleaning old concrete).
Overall, shot blasting is a cost-effective way to prepare large areas without breaking out heavy machinery or equipment.
With abrasive blasting you can remove up to 50% more material in less time than other methods such as scraping, sandblasting, or grinding.
It works on vertical surfaces such as concrete walls, floors, and ceilings; it also works well for removing rust from steel surfaces such as bridges, trucks, and farm equipment.
You can get a lot of work done in one day, which means you're less likely to come back for another visit.
There's no risk of damaging sensitive surfaces like concrete with chemicals like acids, plus using recyclable abrasive.
Shot blasting uses sand instead of chemicals, so it doesn't pollute the air or water.
Shot blasting can be used on many different materials, including wood, stone, glass, uniquely shaped objects, and metal thanks to the steel abrasives.
It can also be used to prepare surfaces for other applications, such as painting or staining wood or concrete floors.
Shot blasting uses a relatively quiet blast media, whereas other surface preparation techniques can be noisy and disruptive to the workplace.

Shot blasting is a surface finishing method that uses compressed air and small steel shots to clean and remove paint, rust, mill scale, and other surface contaminants.
The process is used on various metals, including steel and aluminum.
The advantages of abrasive blasting include its ability to remove material evenly from all surfaces of an object, particularly when the object has tight corners or curves.
The process consists of loading a blast cabinet with the material to be cleaned, placing it in the cabinet, and then operating compressed air for dry blasting through hoses attached to the cabinet's interior.
A small steel shot is pumped into the cabinet, where it strikes the object being cleaned at high velocity with the abrasive media like silica sand.
The impact between the shot and the object breaks off small pieces of metal from both sides of any imperfections in the object's surface.
This process continues until all imperfections are removed from both sides of each piece of metal being processed.
Shot blasting (bead blasting/shot peening) is a process that involves using steel shots to blast away surface rust and other deposits from a metal surface.
The process can be used on almost any metal surface, including industrial equipment, vehicles, and ships.
Shot blasting can also clean up an object before it's painted by removing any remaining rust or paint from the object's surface.
This ensures that the paint adheres to the object more easily and prevents peeling or flaking later down the line.
Shot blasting is fairly simple but requires specialised abrasive blasting equipment and years of experience to do it correctly.
Shot blasting uses a blast of high-pressure air to strip away surface contaminants and reveal a new, clean surface. This process can be used on almost any material, but it's especially effective for removing paint from steel.
There are many different types of shot blasting equipment available, but the basic process stays the same:
The material to be blasted is placed inside an abrasive blasting chamber.
This chamber is then filled with an abrasive material such as sand or glass beads that serve as a shot.
A compressed air stream then blasts the shot against the surface of the material being blasted. As this happens, paint chips away from the surface and falls into a collection bin below.
We use various shot material in Gowerton including steel shot, glass bead, iron, aluminium oxide.
During the shot blasting process paint, rust, and other coatings are all removed from existing surfaces.
The shot blasting process uses high-pressure water, abrasive grit, and compressed air to remove paint and rust from metal surfaces.
The grit used during shot media blasting is much finer than what is used in sandblasting, allowing for deeper penetration into the pores of the metal especially when places in a blast room.
The grit is propelled by compressed air at high velocity across the surface of the metal. The grit will erode any paint or corrosion it comes into contact with making it ideal to do this in blast rooms.
This process can be very effective in removing rust from steel structures such as bridges or ship hulls and paint from vehicles. It can also be used to prepare surfaces before painting, although this isn't always necessary because most paints can adhere directly to steel without priming first.
This type of process is particularly common in the automotive industry and is used as a replacement for sandblasting using a blast wheel.
The shot blasting process has several different types, each used for specific purposes. These include:
As the name suggests, grit blasting is a type of shot blasting that uses sand as its blasting media. Grit blasting machines are available in different sizes, from small portable units to large stationary ones that can be installed on-site. Grit blasting machines are used for cleaning industrial equipment and machinery in shipyards, oil refineries, and other industries that deal with large quantities of equipment.

Wet blasting uses water as its primary medium for transporting the shot particles onto the surface being worked on. This type of shot blasting is often used when working with delicate objects that need to be protected from damage caused by impact with complex objects.
Wet blasting can also be used where dust may cause problems, such as on live electrical equipment or near food preparation areas. Wet blasting can be done by hand or with a machine depending on the size and shape of the object being worked on.
Glass bead blasting has been used for many years to clean parts before painting them because it does not leave any swirl marks on the part after cleaning. This method can also be used on various metals, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, as well as plastic parts such as dashboard trim panels and instrument panels in cars.
Bead blasting works best if there are no large flat areas on the part that need cleaning since there will not be enough pressure against these areas to remove any significant amount of material from them.
Wheel blasting is the most popular method of shot blasting. It uses a wheel with steel shot to blast away the top layer of material on a surface. The wheels are usually made from aluminum oxide or silicon carbide but can also be made from other materials.
Wheel blasting uses centrifugal force to propel media against a surface. This method is perfect for removing rust and paint from metals, but it's also used to remove dirt and grease from concrete floors.
Wheel Blasting isn't the best option for removing heavy rust or paint because it tends to leave behind small chips on the surface that need to be removed by hand or with another method of shot blasting.
Wheel blasting uses a rotating wire brush to remove rust from metal surfaces by cutting through the rust layer. The process is quick and easy, making it ideal for small jobs such as automotive parts or other items with intricate designs on them.
It can also be used on any type of metal surface without damaging it in any way. However, it does not provide good results on large pieces or parts with uneven surfaces because of its limited reach and limited access to hard-to-reach areas.
Air blasting is a type of shot blasting that uses compressed air to blast materials away from the surface being cleaned. It can be used to remove rust, dirt, and paint from various surfaces, including metals, concrete, and wood. Air blasting is similar to sandblasting but uses less pressure, making it safer and producing less dust.
Air blasting equipment includes a compressor, an air gun nozzle, and a vacuum hose. The air gun nozzle attaches to the end of the vacuum hose, which is connected to the compressor.
Air is forced through the nozzle at high pressure and creates a fine mist of particles that are shot onto whatever needs cleaning. This process creates enough force to blast away rust or paint without damaging the underlying material.
Shot blasting and sand blasting are a couple of different processes that can be used to clean metal surfaces. Both have similar goals, but they do so in different ways.
Both shot blasting and sand blasting use a blast of sand or grit to clean metal surfaces. The main difference is that sandblasting uses sand during the process.
Sand blasting uses sand as the abrasive media being blasted at high speed against the part with sand blast cleaning equipment.
This method often removes paint or rust from large areas, such as ships or buildings, and smaller pieces, like car parts or pipes. Most of the time this can be done in blast rooms because of the dust created.
Sand blasting is a messy process that creates dust particles from the blasting equipment that have to be cleaned up after the procedure is complete in blast rooms. This can cause respiratory issues for workers who are not wearing protective masks or goggles during this process.
Shot blasting is a great way to remove rust from your surface.
If you have a large area of rust, it may be more cost-effective to use an abrasive blast. However, if you're looking for a more gentle method and don't mind the time it takes to get the job done, we recommend using a rotary blaster.
Shot blasting is safe.
We take safety very seriously, so we ensure no harmful chemicals are used in our process. We also have strict guidelines regarding who can work on our equipment, so you can rest assured that your belongings will be in good hands while they're with us.
Your location will affect the blasting method.
No matter where you are, we can help with your shot blasting needs. Our experts will work with you to determine the best method for your location and ensure it's done safely and quickly.
As you can see, shot blasting services are a great way to remove rust, paint, and other contaminants from your metal surfaces. It's also a great way to improve the appearance of your equipment and machinery. Whether you're an industrial business owner or just someone who wants to do some home repairs, shot blasting is a great option!
Shot blasting uses a stream of tiny steel balls to clean steel parts. The metal balls are blasted at high velocity against the part. This method is often used to prepare parts for painting or powder coating, remove unwanted paint or rust, and prepare the surface for new paint or powder coating system.

The Wayland Protocol
Wayland is a display server protocol which was (at the time of writing) introduced as the default in GNOME. It is said that Wayland will eventually replace X11 as the default display server on Linux and many distributions have begun implementation of Wayland. Wayland is a more modern protocol and has a smaller code base currently. Wayland is still under development, and there are still applications and behaviours that don't work as expected, you may find that some applications have not been updated to work properly in Wayland and currently the only way these applications will run is using Xorg instead of Wayland. This includes some legacy system applications and games.
Wayland is enabled by default in the GNOME Desktop. You can choose to run GNOME in X11 by choosing the Gnome on xorg option in the session chooser on the login screen. Currently KDE still uses X11 and although there is a plasma-wayland session available, it is not considered stable or bugfree at this time.
Determining whether you are using Wayland
One way to determine if you're running in Wayland, is to check the value of the variable $WAYLAND_DISPLAY. To do this type:
$ echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY
If you are not running under Wayland the variable will not contain any values. You can also use loginctl to show you what type of session is running:
$ loginctl show-session <YOUR_SESSION_NUMBER> -p Type
To determine your session number, simply typing loginctl
should provide your session details.
There is also a legacy X11 server provided with Wayland for compatibility purposes. To determine what applications are running in this mode, you can run the following command:
$ xlsclients
There is also the lg
(looking glass) tool in GNOME that will allow you to determine which protocol a specific window is using. To do this, you run the application by typing lg
in the run dialog or at the command line, select "Windows" in the upper right corner of the tool, and click on the application name (or open window) you want to know about. If the window is running in wayland it will say "MetaWindowWayland" and if it is running in X11 it will say "MetaWindowX11".

When purchasing a real estate property, unless paying cash, consumers typically finance all or a portion of the purchase price. The conditional pledge of the property to a creditor as security for performance of an obligation or repayment of a debt is called a mortgage. The document the buyers' sign promising to pay the money owed is the note. Both documents are filed for public record to protect all parties involved. The amount of the money borrowed, called the principal, plus interest, which is the cost of using the money, are paid back to the creditor in monthly installments. Some mortgages are available where the buyer pays interest only monthly or quarterly. (Check with your lender for availability).
Home mortgages are available from several types of lenders: commercial banks, mortgage companies, and credit unions. Different mortgage lenders may quote you different prices, so you should contact several lenders to make sure you're getting the best price. You may also get a home loan through a mortgage broker. Brokers arrange financial transactions rather than lending money directly; in other words, they find a lender for you. A broker's access to several lenders can mean a wider selection of loan products and terms from which you can choose. Brokers will generally contact several lenders regarding your application, but they are not obligated to find the best deal for you unless they are bound by contract to act as your agents. Consequently, you should consider contacting more than one broker, just as you should with any financial institutions.
Qualifying for a Mortgage
Generally speaking, qualifying for a mortgage is based on the ratio of income and debt. It is determined by multiplying your gross monthly income (before any taxes are withheld) by a mortgage factor of 28 - 36% and then subtracting all long-term monthly debts, i.e. car payment, credit cards, etc. The remaining amount is the mortgage payment you qualify for. (Please confirm your specific situation with an actual mortgage lender).
Types of Mortgages
Fixed Rate Mortgages
Payments remain the same for the life of the loan, which can be 15, 20, or 30 years, depending on your lender. Usually, the shorter the term, the lower the interest rate and the quicker equity is built in the property. During the beginning years of a 30-Year loan, more interest is paid than principal, meaning larger tax deductions. As inflation and costs of living increase, mortgage payments become a smaller part of overall expenses. With most fixed rate mortgages, your monthly principal and interest payment will not change for the term of the loan, regardless of whether interest rates rise or fall. In exchange for that stability, you may have a higher interest rate than you would with an adjustable rate loan.
Adjustable Rate Mortgages
With Adjustable Rate Mortgages, your payments will vary over time. Adjustable Rate Mortgages typically have an initial fixed rate lower than the rate of a comparable fixed rate mortgage. The initial fixed rate period is followed by adjustment intervals. For example, a "3/1 ARM" is fixed at an initial low rate for the first 3 years, and then adjusts every year based on an index. The Adjustable Rate Mortgage is a choice for buyer who will have a substantial increase in salary over the adjustment period and therefore, can absorb the additional payment if the payments increase during the adjustment. The Adjustable Rate Mortgage allows the borrower to qualify for a larger loan amount. Many Adjustable Rate Mortgages also give the buyer the benefit of adjusting downward. The adjustment rate is determined by several indexes, so please consult with your lender to determine if the Adjustable Rate Mortgage is right for you.
Balloon Mortgage
Offers very low rates for an initial period of time (usually 5, 7, or 10 years); when time has elapsed, the balance is due or refinanced (though not automatically)
Two-Step Mortgage
Interest rate adjusts only once and remains the same for the life of the loan.
Reverse Mortgages
The reverse mortgage is aptly named because the payment stream is reversed. Instead of the borrower making monthly payments to a lender, as with a regular mortgage, a lender makes payments to the borrower. This special mortgage is used to convert equity in a home into cash to provide seniors financial security in their retirement years. There are age restrictions with the Reverse Mortgage.
Mortgage Glossary
The costs banks and mortgage companies charge usually include the following:
Application fee - the money paid to the lender for processing the mortgage documents
Insurance - homeowner's coverage for fire and casualty to the home
Origination fee - A fee, often a percentage of the total principal of a loan, charged by a lender to a borrower on initiation of the loan
Closing costs - The numerous expenses (over and above the price of the property) that buyers and sellers normally incur to complete a real estate transaction.
Interest - the cost of using the money, based on a percentage of the amount borrowed.
Every lender or broker should be able to give you an estimate of their fees. Many of these fees are negotiable. Some fees are paid when you apply for a loan, and others are paid at closing. In some cases, you can borrow the money needed to pay these fees, but doing so will increase your loan amount and total costs. "No cost" loans are sometimes available, but they usually involve higher rates.
Down Payment
The amount of money a buyer needs to pay down on a home is one of the most misunderstood concepts in home buying. Some people think they need to make a down payment of 50 percent of the home's price, but most loans are based on a 20 percent down payment. There are mortgage options now available that only require a down payment of 5% or less of the purchase price. If a 20 percent down payment is not made, lenders usually require the home buyer to purchase private mortgage insurance (PMI) to protect the lender in case the home buyer fails to pay. Ask about the lender's requirements for a down payment, including what you need to do to verify that funds for your down payment are available. Make sure to ask if PMI is required for your loan, and also find out what the total cost of the insurance will be.
1. Amortization
Amortization is the paying off of the mortgage debt in regular installments over a period of time, i.e. 30 years. If you pay the same monthly amount according to the terms of your note, then your debt will be paid in the exact number of years outlined for you. You may, however, make additional monthly payments which are applied directly to the principal amount thus reducing your mortgage term substantially. Understand negative amortization. Some home loans offer attractive monthly mortgage payments but at times those low payments don't cover the interest portion of the loan. When that happens, part of the principal amount is deducted, resulting in what lenders call "negative amortization." Simply put, it means you are losing equity in your home.
2. Interest Rate
The interest rate is the monthly effective rate paid on borrowed money, and is expressed as a percentage of the sum borrowed. A lower interest rate allows you to borrow more money than a high rate with the same monthly payment. Interest rates can fluctuate as you shop for a loan, so ask lenders if they offer a rate "lock-in" which guarantees a specific interest rate for a certain period of time. Remember that a lender must disclose the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of a loan to you. The APR shows the cost of a mortgage loan by expressing it in terms of a yearly interest rate. It is generally higher than the interest rate because it also includes the cost of points, mortgage and other fees included in the loan. If interest rates drop significantly, you may want to investigate refinancing. Most experts agree that if you plan to be in your house for at least 18 months and you can get a rate 2% less than your current one, refinancing is smart. Refinancing may, however, involve paying many of the same fees paid at the original closing, plus origination and application fees.
3. Discount points
Discount points are prepaid interest and allow you to buy down your interest rate. One discount point equals 1% of the total loan amount. Generally, for each point paid on a 30-year mortgage, the interest rate is reduced by 1/8 (or.125) of a percentage point. When shopping for loans ask lenders for an interest rate with 0 points and then see how much the rate decreases with each point paid. Compare the monthly difference in payments with the total discount points you are willing to pay, and see how many months you need to stay in the home to recoup your money. Points are tax deductible when you purchase a home and you may be able to negotiate for the seller to pay for some of them.
4. Escrow Account
Established by your lender, an escrow account is set up to manage monthly contributions to cover annual charges for homeowner's insurance, mortgage insurance and property taxes. The borrower contributes 1/12 of the annual costs monthly so that the lender will have sufficient money to pay for the taxes and insurances. Escrow accounts are a good idea because they assure money will always be available for these payments.
The credit score is calculated by a statistical process and provides a guideline for lenders to extend credit (and if so, how much) to a borrower. Mortgage companies, banks, and insurance companies determine the interest rate they will charge based on the borrowers credit score. The credit scoring process encompasses both your pay history and the amount of credit you currently have. The credit score is a substantial portion of the entire credit report.
Low Credit Scores will result in higher payments on loans, credit cards, and insurance.
The credit score is sometimes called the FICO Score, which is an acronym for the creators of the FICO score, F air I saac C redit O rganization
Below is a table showing different score ranges
Score Range | Rating |
780+ | Perfect |
720 - 780 | Excellent |
675 - 720 | Average |
620 - 690 | Fair |
Below 620 | Low |
Don't assume that minor credit problems or difficulties stemming from unique circumstances, such as illness or temporary loss of income, will limit your loan choices to only high-cost lenders. If your credit report contains negative information that is accurate, but there are good reasons for trusting you to repay a loan, be sure to explain your situation to the lender or broker. If your credit problems cannot be explained, you will probably have to pay more than borrowers who have good credit histories. Ask how your credit history affects the price of your loan and what you would need to do to get a better price. Lenders now offer several affordable mortgage options, which can help first-time homebuyers, overcome obstacles that made purchasing a home difficult in the past. Lenders may now be able to help borrowers who don't have a lot of money saved for the down payment and closing costs, have no or a poor credit history, have quite a bit of long-term debt, or have experienced income irregularities. There are companies who specialize in consumer credit repair.

Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration (also called AMD, ARMD, or age-related macular degeneration) is an age-related condition in which the most sensitive part of the retina, called the macula, starts to break down and lose its ability to create clear visual images. The macula is responsible for central vision – the part of our sight we use to read, drive and recognize faces. So although a person's peripheral vision is left unaffected by AMD, the most important aspect of vision is lost.
AMD is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in Americans of ages 65 and older. And because older people represent an increasingly larger percentage of the general population, vision loss associated with macular degeneration is a growing problem.
It's estimated that more than 1.75 million U.S. residents currently have significant vision loss from AMD, and that number is expected to grow to almost 3 million by 2020.
The two forms of AMD
Macular degeneration can be classified as either dry (non-neovascular) or wet (neovascular). Neovascular refers to growth of new blood vessels in an area, such as the macula, where they are not supposed to be.
The dry form of AMD is more common – about 85% to 90% of all cases of macular degeneration are the dry variety.
Dry macular degeneration. Dry AMD is an early stage of the disease, and may result from the aging and thinning of macular tissues, depositing of pigment in the macula, or a combination of the two processes.
Dry macular degeneration is diagnosed when yellowish spots called drusen begin to accumulate in the macula. Drusen are believed to be deposits or debris from deteriorating macular tissue. Gradual central vision loss may occur with dry AMD. Vision loss from this form of the disease is usually not as severe as that caused by wet AMD.
A major study conducted by the National Eye Institute (NEI) looked into the risk factors for developing macular degeneration and cataracts. The study, called the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), showed that high levels of antioxidants and zinc significantly reduce the risk of advanced dry AMD and its associated vision loss.
The AREDS study also indicated that taking high dose formulas containing beta carotene, vitamins C and E and zinc can reduce the risk of early stage AMD progression by 25%.
Wet macular degeneration.
Wet AMD is the more advanced and damaging stage of the disease. In about 10% of cases, dry AMD progresses to wet macular degeneration.
With wet AMD, new blood vessels grow beneath the retina and leak blood and fluid. This leakage causes permanent damage to light-sensitive cells in the retina, causing blind spots or a total loss of central vision.
The abnormal blood vessel growth in wet AMD is the body's misguided attempt to create a new network of blood vessels to supply more nutrients and oxygen to the macula. But the process instead creates scarring and central vision loss.
Macular degeneration signs and symptoms
Macular degeneration usually produces a slow, painless loss of vision. Early signs of vision loss associated with AMD can include seeing shadowy areas in your central vision or experiencing unusually fuzzy or distorted vision. In rare cases, AMD may cause a sudden loss of central vision.
An eyecare practitioner usually can detect early signs of macular degeneration before symptoms occur. Usually this is accomplished through a retinal examination.
What causes macular degeneration?
Many forms of macular degeneration appear be linked to aging and related deterioration of eye tissue crucial for good vision. Research also suggests a gene deficiency may be associated with almost half of all potentially blinding cases of macular degeneration.
Who gets macular degeneration?
Besides affecting older individuals, AMD appears to occur in whites and females in particular. The disease also can result as a side effect of some drugs, and it appears to run in families.
New evidence strongly suggests that smoking is high on the list of risk factors for macular degeneration. Other risk factors for AMD include having a family member with AMD, high blood pressure, lighter eye color and obesity. Some researchers believe that over-exposure to sunlight also may be a contributing factor in development of macular degeneration, and a high-fat diet also may be a risk factor.
How is macular degeneration treated?
There is as yet no outright cure for macular degeneration, but some treatments may delay its progression or even improve vision.
There are no FDA-approved treatments for dry AMD, although nutritional intervention may be valuable in preventing its progression to the more advanced, wet form.
For wet AMD, there are several FDA-approved drugs aimed at stopping abnormal blood vessel growth and vision loss from the disease. In some cases, laser treatment of the retina may be recommended. Ask your eye doctor for details about the latest treatment options for wet AMD.
Testing and low vision devices
Although much progress has been made recently in macular degeneration treatment research, complete recovery of vision lost to AMD probably is unlikely. Your eye doctor may ask you to check your vision regularly with an Amsler grid – a small chart of thin black lines arranged in a grid pattern. AMD causes the line on the grid to appear wavy, distorted or broken. Viewing the Amsler grid separately with each eye helps you monitor your vision loss.
If you have already suffered vision loss from AMD, low vision devices including high magnification reading glasses and hand-held telescopes may help you achieve better vision than regular prescription eyewear.

Superstorm Sandy sparked a lot of interest in rising sea levels when it swept across the Northeast last month and flooded parts of the coast. Over the next century, more water — and higher sea levels — could come from melting ice in Greenland and Antarctica. How much has been unclear.
But now scientists have developed a much clearer view of how quickly that ice has been melting over the past two decades. And that will help researchers forecast the rate of sea-level rise in the years to come.
There's enough ice sitting on Greenland and Antarctica to drive up sea level catastrophically — by more than 200 feet. Thankfully, nobody expects it all to melt.
But over the past two decades, scientists have been struggling to understand just what has been happening on those ice sheets, using primarily satellite-based instruments.
"There are three different techniques," says Andy Shepherd at the University of Leeds in the U.K. "The oldest is called altimetry. It's the same sort of instrument an airplane carries to tell how high it is above the ground."
Satellites also measure the flow of giant glaciers as they stream toward the sea. And a third technique measures tiny changes in gravity, which is a way to measure the mass of ice in those sheets.
But these three different techniques didn't provide one clear answer. So Shepherd brought together all the world's experts on this topic to resolve many of the discrepancies.
It's a tricky business. Ice isn't simply behaving as a monolith. For example, ice in some parts of Antarctica is growing, because warmer air holds more moisture and leads to more snowfall. But other parts are melting as warm seawater eats away at the edges.
"It wasn't clear because of the uncertainty of the data whether the ice sheet was growing or shrinking," Shepherd says. "And now we're able to say with confidence, over all that time period, that it was shrinking."
Greenland's ice has also been shrinking.
And when the researchers put all their data together, they found that Antarctica and Greenland together have melted enough over the past 20 years to raise sea level a very modest amount: about half an inch. They published their results in Science magazine.
If you want to let out a sigh of relief, Shepherd says go ahead.
"My job is to tell people good and bad news. And if the ice sheets have not made a huge contribution to sea level, then I think people ought to be happy about that."
But don't relax too much. Ian Joughin, a co-author of the study at the University of Washington, says the melting of these giant ice sheets has accelerated rapidly in recent years as the Earth has warmed, "and that's a big cause for concern. What we really don't know is how much [melt rates] are going to continue to go up."
Scientists are now feeling more confident about being able to measure change as it happens. But figuring out what the ice is going to do is difficult.
The biggest wild card is what will happen to some huge glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica that, in just a few years, have picked up a lot of speed as they flowed into the sea.
"Unfortunately, there's a lot we still don't understand about the various processes that are controlling the fast ice flow, and how fast icebergs are discharged to the ocean," Joughin says.
These surges appear to be driven by ever-warming seawater, which is flowing under the edge of the ice sheets, eating away at them from below.
"In Antarctica, this is really most of the melting that goes on," Joughin says. "And as climate warms and more warm water comes in contact with these ice shelves, it tends to thin them and potentially break them up."
The big question is how quickly this will happen in the coming decades.
Scientists at one point thought the ice could melt catastrophically, adding more than 10 feet to sea level in the course of a century or so. Now, the experts in this field are thinking that sea level is much more likely to rise 2 or 3 feet by the end of the century.
That includes additional sea-level rise from melting mountain glaciers and from the ocean itself, which expands as the water heats up.
And 3 feet (about 1 meter) is a lot.
"What today is a once-in-a-century storm surge event in New York City would happen every three years if you had a 1-meter rise in sea level," says Stefan Rahmstorf at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research near Berlin. "So a 1-meter sea level rise is huge."
And it's by no means the end of the story. As long as the Earth keeps warming, the seas will keep on rising.

It was my first bridal gown consultation and I was very nervous, thinking it would be a very stressful process and I wouldn't be able to find anything that suited me. It turned out to be a delight. Lauren and the seamstress were extremely helpful and pleasant. Lauren in particular is an expert in bridal gowns and she gave me a lot of great advice, and she answered any questions I had thoroughly. They made it a super fun and exciting experience not only for me but also for my friends who accompanied me. I would strongly recommend Always & Forever Bridal.
Marisa was an absolute pleasure to deal with, she showed me her complete attention from our first interaction, understood my vision and helped me find my dream dress. The experience felt comfortable and easy from the start, she was patient, concise and non pressuring throughout my consult and showed a genuine passion for her work. The boutique had an impeccable variety of dresses on offer and completely exceeded my expectations. Thank you to Marisa and the other ladies for delivering such a beautiful experience and for helping me to find my dream gown!!
My consultant was very helpful and patient. She was kind and gave good advice. The wedding dresses were beautiful with a good variety. Would definitely recommend the Always and Forever to others!
After going to another bridal boutique I felt deflated and feeling like I'll never find a dress because I wasn't a size 8. The person at this boutique was trying to pressure me into buying a dress that did not flatter me in any way and told me that the dresses I liked wouldn't look good on someone my size, I had a baby 3 months ago and still getting used to my new body so my confidence was shattered. This was until I met Cecelia. She made me feel more confident. She picked me up off the ground (figuratively) and made me feel like I could be a beautiful bride. I went in with minimal direction from me and even with that she found me THE dress and most importantly made me feel beautiful. I can not thank her enough for her help and making me feel like a human and not a sale.
Thank you for a great experience. I didn't feel rushed. My consultant made me feel very comfortable. I had put on weight and trying on wedding dresses has not been enjoyable experience but my consultant was very helpful and understanding and I had fun trying on the dresses with her.
Thank you Always and Forever Bridal in helping me to find my perfect gown!!!
Firstly, all of the staff at your store are absolutely amazing and go out of there way to make you feel welcome. My consultant was CC and she truly went above and beyond to help make shopping for my wedding dress a special experience. CC was supportive, kind and had a great sense of humor which made the whole dress shopping experience relaxing and fun. CC listened to what I had to say and helped to translate my wedding vision into a dress (even taking the time to construct a mock bouquet in my wedding colours!). I am a larger girl and CC took so much care to help me look beautiful in every gown I tried on, putting in the effort to ensure the fit of each dress was "just right" (having been to three other store before Always and Forever, I know that not all consultants or stores do this). CC took the time to make me (and my family) feel special and I cant express how my grateful I am for the help she has given me.
Secondly, I was very impressed by the variety of gowns the store stocks. I loved that all the dresses were layed out by silhouette, it helped to make it easy to find the style you were looking for.
All in all, I would rate and recommend Always and Forever Bridal – amazing from start to finish!
Tamara Aguirre was such a delight.
She was very patient and attentive. I am a returned customer I purchased my first dress in March and decided to purchase the second dress as I will be having two receptions.
I am obsessed with the second dress I purchased today. Thanks to Tamara, she listened to what I wanted in a dress. She is a great value to your business. I cannot wait to wear this gown in November.
