First man on the moon, passed away at 82 (CBS News) Neil Armstrong, the Apollo 11 astronaut who became the first human being to set foot on another world, has died. He was 82. In a statement his family said Armstrong had passed away following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures. The family described him as a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, and also as "a reluctant American hero who always believed he was just doing his job." That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind. When Armstrong set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, he fulfilled the goal that had been set by President John F. Kennedy just eight years earlier. -Video Courtesy Of Cbsnews.com-

Towns for Sale Buy Your Way to “Mayor” By Colleen Kane | CNBC – Mon, Aug 13, 2012 3:44 PM EDT News items pop up regularly about entire towns and villages going up for sale. In April, Buford, Wyo., sold to a Vietnamese buyer for $900,000. The same month, a couple bought the tiny town of Wauconda, Wash., for $360,000. In May, the French “ghost village” of Courbefy sold to an American photographer for about $643,000. Why buy a whole town?

Oh No!! Today I came across this alarming notice, straight from the Google home page. It appears iGoogle will be no more as of Nov. 1,2013...Read On... What's happening to iGoogle will be retired in 16 months, on November 1, 2013. The mobile version will be retired on July 31, 2012. How did you come to this decision? We originally launched iGoogle in 2005 before anyone could fully imagine the ways that today's web and mobile apps would put personalized, real-time information at your fingertips. With modern apps that run on platforms like Chrome and Android , the need for something like iGoogle has eroded over time, so we’ll be winding down iGoogle on November 1, 2013, giving you a full 16 months to adjust or easily export your iGoogle data. What will happen to the data stored in my gadgets? All of your personal data stored in other Google products will continue to be available via those products, including Gmail , Google Calendar , Google Finance , Google

This is a movie produced by the mayors office in Huston funded by the Department of Homeland Security following the shooting in Colorado last month. Personally, I think it's a sad testament to our society that this is even necessary , however, being well informed always has its advantages. I can't say that I support the last step in the clip, 'fight'. I'm not saying you should give up, but being the 'hero' isn't always the best thing to do...No, I've never been in this position before, but I can't imagine provoking someone who clearly has nothing else to live for being beneficial to anyone in the situation. Perhaps you have a different opinion? Let me know in the comments section below.

Buying Home Beats Renting After Just 3 Years in Much of US Is it better to buy a home or rent? An analysis released today by real estate information provider Zillow.com finds that in most of the U.S., buying becomes a better deal than renting after only three years of residence. In many metro areas , the advantage comes much sooner. In Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa, for example, owning beats renting after 1.6 years, the study finds. Zillow determined the breakeven horizon—the point at which owning becomes more financially advantageous than renting the same home--for more than 200 metro areas and 7,500 cities around the U.S. Unlike a simple purchase price-to-rent ratio, the breakeven horizon takes into account such other data as taxes, tax deductions, down payments, utilities, appreciation, maintenance, opportunity costs, and fluctuations in the rental market. "People traditionally have looked at the price-to-rent ratio," Zillow senior
