Joseph and Summer McStay and their 2 children have been missing since February 4th, their families have no idea where they are or if they planed to leave or even if something happened to them. whats worse is that since the family has been missing they have not used their bank or credit cards or their cellphones. This is making it really hard for the police to answer any questions on their where abouts.
Some evidence, that was collected at their residence, suggests that they were planing on a trip to Mexico. But, if this was a planed trip how could they leave their pets at home with no food or water. Another bad sign was that 4 days after there disappearance authorities discovered their vehicle abandoned along the boarder of Mexico not far from a checkpoint.
A surveillance video of that evening was discovered and it shows what appears to be the missing family casually walking across the boarder. This makes the police feel that there is no criminal involvement, but a brother of the McStay's disagrees and feels terrible, hoping to find them soon and alive.
Wow. I don't know what i would do if a family member of mine just got up and disappeared let a alone the whole family. I don't know what would make someone feel that they want to just get up and leave. But, i really do feel that something weird is going on if they ditched their car and walked into Mexico. Are they trying to escape and get new identities? Or are they being held against their will, which could be if they are not using any money. But, yes, i do feel this could have possibly been planed, Maybe they got into a little trouble and need to get out of it. I don't know, but i do hope they find them so we can find out just why they did it.

30 days and counting: Homebuyer tax credit expires
The great deal is about to end. For a while now the government has been giving people tax refunds for buying new houses. This bill was introduced in hopes of people decided that this would an amazing way to help them to afford a house in this economy. A first time house owner could get $8,000 back in taxes and those who have owned previous housings could receive $6,500.
When introduced this bill was a great success. It helped to boost the housing economy quiet a bit. But now they have extended the bill multiple times, the first time there was another great raise in home purchases, but sales have slowed over the winter and spring months. They now feel that it would be no more use to extend the bill any longer. They also feel that this will tell people that this deal really wont last forever, and if their thinking of buying a home this would be the last chance to get a great deal because they need to have the contract in place by the end of April to still receive their refund.
I feel that this bill was an amazing idea. It helped out our economy sooo… much. It helped boost home sales, which in the end boosts all sales, it seems that if the housing economy is doing well so is the rest of the economy. That’s probably because housing requires so many things to put it all together that everyone is some how tied to that industry. But I feel that yes, all good things need to come to an end, and if we keep extending this bill then people will feel that it will always be there and there really wont be a need for them to buy right now. In the end this was a great idea and it has rewarded us and hopefully will continue in the future.

U.S. ambassador: Iraq elections a turning point for democracy
The turning point for the Iraqi democracy has come according to some. Christopher Hill said that the result of the past suggests “there is democracy in this country.” Also people are looking at the different options and going in different directions, this is a good sign for the hopes of the upcoming election. People are looking for their best interests, like who would be the best for security and stability, and to provide an improvement in their income.
The 2 Men running are former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, with Allawi in the lead so far according to elections officials. Allawi also said this, “if you’re the frontrunner you’ve got to look out there to other coalitions (and)say how can i put together a government that’s going to work? This isn’t all about...who’s a Shia or who’s a Sunni; it’s about who can govern better.”
I feel this is great. Our goal was, when we went over there that we would set up a working government for them to go by so that they would stop fighting between themselves. So this is a great improvement so far, because the last election that was planed did not go as planned. But if people are looking for their best interests they defiantly won’t take long to get used to this better way of government.
