indiana information: VU Team rallies to Win Home Opener After Miserable Start...
- 11/20/09 09:14 AM
After the first 20 minutes of the V.U. Crusaders vs IU South Bend Titans game, I sat wondering how was it even remotely possible that the Crusaders came within 11 points of 6th Ranked North Carolina only a few days earlier? They were missing shots, they were sluggish, they were out rebounded, outplayed, & out scored in every area of the game. (Let's give some credit to the Titans). In my previous years of watching Valpo play, they had times as a slow starting 2nd half team. After a 10-4 spurt, the Crusaders were down 43-34 and I was thinking "uh-oh".

indiana information: Clock is Ticking To Find That Home if You'd Like the 1st Time Home Buyer Tax Credit
- 10/01/09 01:02 PM
Considering Buying a home in NW Indiana to take advantage of the 1st Time Home Buyer tax credit ? Did you know this ? ...... By law, your loan cannot be completed and funded until the 8th day after your application for your mortgage has been completed and executed. Taking into consideration Sundays and Holidays (that are excluded from the 8 day count), the last day upon which your Purchase Agreement and mortgage application can be completed is November 19, 2009. That means it's crunch time! Factor in the time to shop for a home and put together
