FREE CLOSING COST GRANTS FOR MILITARY HOME BUYERS AS MILITARY HOUSING ASSISTANCE FUND AND MILITARY CONNECTION TEAM TO HELP MILITARY FAMILIES BECOME HOMEOWNERS
Denver, CO – March 2, 2011 – The Military Housing Assistance Fund and Military Connection today announced an alliance focused on increasing homeownership for military members, civilian military employees, and qualified veterans. While roughly two thirds of all American families own their homes, it is a sad fact that barely a quarter of military families are homeowners. As the shared mission of each of the non-profits is to benefit military members and veterans, positively impacting their lives and their finances, joining forces to increase awareness of both benefit programs makes perfect sense.
Military Housing Assistance Fund (MHAF or USMHAF) exists for the sole purpose of assisting military members and qualified veterans to better afford the purchase of a home. This is accomplished by channeling donations from private individuals, government entities, and foundation grants, to individual home buyers from any branch of the military; Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserves. The funds are a true gift and need never be re-paid.
The Closing Cost Gift Program is not to be confused with seller funded Down Payment Assistance programs such as those that were once offered by Nehemiah grants, Ameridream, Genesis or others that were prohibited by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The free gifts funds are for closing costs or moving expenses that may not be covered by seller concessions in a particular purchase transaction. Military home buyers are not restricted to VA Mortgage Loans. FHA loans can also be used, as well as USDA Rural Housing Loans, which is an alternate way to achieve 100% financing in eligible rural areas.
For Debbie Gregory, CEO of Military Connection, the alliance represents a way to further benefit the thousands of members of the Military Connection family. “MilitaryConnection.com is proud to announce our alliance with MHAF” said Gregory.”We are always looking for ways to honor and assist our men and women in uniform, past and present, as well as their families. There isn’t any better way to show our appreciation for their many sacrifices than by helping them to become homeowners.” Likewise, Errol Anderson, Managing Director of Military Housing Assistance Fund, is pleased with the new alliance. “Our mission is to help more of our military realize the American dream of home ownership” said Anderson. ”That’s the least we can do for them considering what they do for us”.
Both Anderson and Gregory emphasized that a key benefit to the Closing Cost Gift Program is that there is no cost to apply, no cost if approved, and no costs after the fact. There are no costs to the military member or veteran whatsoever.
Founded in 1999, Military Connection is a woman-owned business located in Simi Valley, California, assisting military member, veterans, and military charities, with a special emphasis on education resources, job placement, and career assistance for qualified veterans. A virtual job fair, directory of employers and live job postings are prominently featured on the site, as well as tools such as military pay charts, COLA calculators, education assistance, and free or heavily discounted resources exclusively for military members and veterans. Military Connection Charity Connection supports military charities including Toys for Tots, Operation Homefront, the Red Cross, American Breast Cancer Foundation, and many others.

Founded in 2004 by military veteran and Founding Member William Dugger, MHAF has from day one sought to help expand housing opportunities for military families. MHAF is one of the very few non-profits in this country that gives 100% of the donation it receives to the intended beneficiary in the form of a gift never has to be repaid. MHAF is well on its’ way to accomplishing their organizational goal of helping at least 1200 military families for Calendar Year 2011. Site: http://USMHAF.org

WHY WOMEN GO WEAK AT THE KNEES EXPERT SKIING AND INJURY ADVICE FROM PHYSIOROOM. WOMEN FAR MORE PRONE THAN MEN TO ACL INJURIESCOM.
Men and women take different approaches to many situations in life, but when it comes to skiing women are eight times more likely than their male counterparts to sustain an ACL injury on the slopes.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is particularly vulnerable when skiing as it can be ruptured by stopping quickly, cutting sharply, landing awkwardly or changing direction abruptly, with women in particular being susceptible to this injury due to the anatomical structure of their bodies. Women actually have a thinner ACL than men which may contribute to injury rates.
Also, the muscles and bones of the hips and legs differ significantly between males and females in that women have a wider pelvis, their hips are more flexible, their lower leg is angled more toward the knee and they generally have less developed thigh muscles, making the knee more dependent on the ligaments for stability. They also have increased flexibility and hyperextension in their joints, all of which puts the ACL in the firing line on the ski slopes.
However, according to PhysioRoom.com, who supply specialist knee supports such as the Mueller knee brace and the Donjoy knee brace, there are steps that women can take to reduce their risk of knee injuries when skiing.
Tips include warming up first to avoid strains, skiing within your limits, ensuring that you have adequate Ligament knee support if you’re carrying an injury, staying hydrated to avoid fatigue and improve performance, getting proper instruction by signing up for lessons and sticking to the rules by not going off-piste.
Stuart Mills from PhysioRoom.com, explains, ACL injuries are common in for all skiers but particularly high for female skiers, a hinged knee brace can give the knee the added stability it requires after an ACL injury or as part of injury prevention. Given the skier will be doing physical exercise it needs to be made from a breathable fabric and short on the calf to clear the ski boot, for this reason the Donjoy Fourcepoint with Armor is our most popular ACL Brace.

Finding The Right Health Insurance Now Easier Online
[Coralville, IA] – March 2, 2011 – Health care is a huge issue in the United States today, and a great many people are looking for every way they can find to get the right price on their coverage. At the same time, consumers want access to quality health care that they can rely on to keep themselves and their families protected for the times when it matters most. Those looking to find health insurance quotes are certainly in luck these days, experts say, due to ease that the internet offers when it comes to finding a suitable quote for just about any type of health care coverage situation. Today, those looking online are able to find the best cover at affordable prices due to the fierceness with which today’s insurance providers are competing for each customer. A brand new generation of web sites are now rising to help consumers find what they are looking for in a fast, convenient way that takes a great deal of the hassle out of finding the right health insurance plan. Simply by inputting their specifics, consumers can quickly gain access to a wide range of quotes that could work well for them.
With so much competition among insurers, consumers are benefiting in a big way. With so many plans to choose from, it can be a giant task to find one that works, but with sites offering ways to narrow down the scope to a reasonable level, the task is indeed getting easier. The ability to compare online health insurance quotes also gives consumers the upper hand when it comes to making sure that they have exactly the right plan to suit their specific requirements from a company they feel comfortable with trusting. This is allowing more people to find deals that they did not even realize were possible for them and that they might otherwise never have known existed. That is changing the insurance market in a big way and providing a lot of incentive for people to seek out the best bargains from the comfort of their own home. With something as simple as the size of a deductible making a big impact in today’s tight economy, shopping smart for insurance plans really does make sense.
For those who would like to check out their options, a visit to http://healthinsurancequoteannarbor.com can help them put everything into perspective.

CHICAGO, IL – March 2, 2011, 2011 – Chicagoland Sunbelt (www.chicagolandsunbelt.com) announces today that Dan Kite, MBA and Managing Partner at Chicagoland Sunbelt, completed the sale of a vending route business. In order to sell the business, Kite and Chicagoland Sunbelt reached out to their internal database of over 10,000 active buyers to create demand for the business. In addition, the firm reached out to over 50 vending route operators via direct telephone contact. The business was also marketed to the general public through an extensive on-line campaign. It was as a result of this on-line campaign that the buyers learned of this opportunity. The buyers made an offer the same week they were shown the business and closed the transaction three weeks later.
The business profile was very attractive to the market. The vending machine route is concentrated geographically. All the machines were owned not leased, meaning that in addition to buying a strong cash flow business, the buyers received valuable physical assets. That route’s geographic concentration made it easy for the buyers to buy the business and gain a supplemental income apart from their full time pursuits.
“The sale moved along at such speed because both parties were so motivated,” stated Kite. “Our seller was not interested in operating the business going forward but realized that he could sell the business for a rewarding sum in place of shutting it down. Our buyers had identified this industry as a solid performer that could provide significant supplemental income with fairly minimal investment of time.”
Domenic Rinaldi, Certified Business Intermediary and Managing Director of Chicagoland Sunbelt, added: “Dan brings a level of professionalism and energy that drives business transactions to successful conclusions. Business owners, like the seller in this transaction, know they will be in good hands with Dan Kite.”
