What in the World is Going On in Trinity Park?

If  you've driven along Forest Park Blvd. lately and seen the river banks in Trinity Park, you've probably asked yourself, "What in the world is going on?!" Well have no fear; it's all part of a plan to rebuild the banks of the river after years of erosion in the area. Recycled concrete is used to stabilize the shoreline, but it is covered with earth and seeded once in place.


The Historic Fort Worth Stockyards Master Plan recently received the distinguished 2010 Texas American Planning Association Chapter Project Planning award in San Antonio. Click here to read more about the plan to build a boat marina in the Stockyards.

Singer Jimmy Buffett falls head-first off Sydney stage

AFTER singing "It's been a lovely cruise, I'm sorry it's ended" singer Jimmy Buffett crashed off the stage after his final Sydney concert last night and was rushed to hospital with a head injury.




Shocked fans at the sell-out concert at the Hordern Pavilion were urged to leave the auditorium by Buffett's Australian tour manager Michael Chugg as the 64-year-old entertainer lay on the floor in front of the first row of seating waiting for paramedics and an ambulance to arrive.



He was rushed to Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital, in Darlinghurst, thirty minutes after the accident.



Neither Chugg nor his assistant David Pope would comment on Buffett's condition at the scene but an audience member said it appeared the entertainer had struck his head and was bleeding as he lay on the floor.



Chugg took the stage and insisted anxious fans leave immediately with security hustling the audience outside before the ambulance arrived.




Several fans said they felt that some statement could have been made about Buffett's condition before they were pushed outside.



After Buffett fell it appeared as if security men were arguing with a large man who had been at the front of the audience.



Audience member Dan Bateman, 30, told The Daily Telegraph Buffett fell face first off the stage.



"We were in the 10th row and it looked like he did a massive face plant after his encore and pretty much didn't get up,'' Mr Bateman, from Cairns, said.



"We were told to leave the premises. No one really wanted to leave because everyone was anxious to know if he survived the fall. Everyone was pretty horrified.''



Buffett had performed at the Opera House for three sell-out shows before last night's Australia Day performance which was a late add-on to accomodate fans unable to get tickets to the performances earlier in the week.



His last show was full of references to Australia and Australia Day, and, after apologising for not appearing in the country for 20 years, he said he and his Coral Reefer Band would return in 2012.

Tax Credit extension for Military.....first-time home-buyers and existing home owners

Members of the military who serve outside the U.S. for at least 90 days between December 31, 2008 and May 1, 2010 have a full extra year to buy a home and still qualify for the $8000, first-time home-buyer tax credit or the $6500 credit for home owners who have owned their primary residence for at least 5 years.







Instead of having to enter into a contract to purchase a home by April 30, 2010 and close on the transaction by June 30, 2010, which is the guideline for those non-military home-buyers, service members have until April 30, 2011 to sign a contract and until June 30, 2011 to close.





This extension also applies to members of the Foreign Service and employees of the intelligence community who are serving on official extended duty outside the U.S. In both cases only one spouse must be serving on official extended duty to qualify for the extension.
