H.O.M.E.* Housing Costs: How much can you afford?
From: www.coastcapital.com
"A point is equal to 1% of the amount borrowed. Points can be payable when the loan is approved (before closing) or at closing. For FHA and VA mortgages the seller, not the buyer, must pay the points. Even if you are not using an FHA or VA mortgage, you may want to negotiate points in the purchase offer. Some lenders will let you finance points, adding this cost to the mortgage, which will increase your interest costs. If you pay the points up front, they are deductible in your income taxes in the year they are paid. Different deductibility rules apply to second homes.

Chelsea v Leeds
From: www.sportnetwork.net
"The final game of the season sees the have's play the have nots. One year ago, Chelsea were in almost as bad a financial mess as Leeds, with a player exodus expected in the summer.
However, where Leeds had to cope with putting out more 'for sale' signs, offering further reductions, Chelsea were bankrolled by Roman Abrahmovic, and the rest, as they say, is history. The game is rendered virtually meaningless. Chelsea may be saying farewell to manager Ranieri, who has been treading on thin ice for most of the season, despite the Blues enjoying their best season for many a year."

"The longer answer:
The Patterson footage has never been debunked as a hoax. No one has ever demonstrated how it was done. Neither the original "costume," nor a matching costume, has ever been presented by honest skeptics, nor by various imposters who claim to have worn the costume.
Large amounts of money have been spent trying to make a matching costume. The best Hollywood costume design talents have been brought to the task, but have never succeeded. The British Broadcasting Corporation spent the most money so far. They failed miserably. The side-by-side results are shown below."

Doyle: Court affirms his power on compacts
by Doug Cunningham
Governor Doyle says the State Supreme Court decision ruling current gaming compacts unconstitutional affirmed the governor's authority to negotiate them. Doyle says this decision simply means he will renegotiate the terms of the compacts with the tribes, being mindful of the constitutional limits imposed by the court. But he clearly was unhappy with what he called a partisan lawsuit that may endanger tirbal investment and jobs."
