Dylan Ratigan: Sustainability = Security: The Next Mission for America's Vets

As our nation starts to draw down the wars overseas, over a million vets will be re-entering civilian life over the next five years -- one of the largest in our country's recent history.

This Memorial Day weekend, we are focusing on the next mission facing our war heroes. We all know our service members and returning vets are committed to our national security -- but as they return home, that mission extends beyond the battlefield, as vets work to ensure that future generations never go to war over resources.?The need for sustainable energy and sustainable food are what many of the wars around the world are fought over now -- our returning marines know it, and they're doing something about it.

Watch as Dylan Ratigan talks about the connection between vets, jobs, sustainability and security with Liz Perez of GC Green, and John Hofmeister, former CEO of Shell Oil and founder of Citizens for Affordable Energy, as well as some amazing veterans he met on the road on the West Coast who are working for change.

Fantastic Methods If You're Looking To Buy Real Estate | Online ...

Purchasing a home is probably going to be the biggest financial decision in your life. Always make sure that you?re fully informed before you put your money down. Check out this article and find out what you?re missing about buying real estate.

Ask your realtor for information on sales from their brokerage or themselves over the last year. This can be a determining factor in whether or not you have a strong enough realtor making decisions with you. This gives you a good idea of both their experience and strengths in the real estate market.

Before you even step foot into a mortgage lender?s office, check out your credit. You do not waste your time or the time of the Realtor by applying for a loan that you cannot get because your credit is not good. You can check your credit score online or at a credit bureau office.

If you find the right real estate, do not hesitate to move forward. Many buyers spend time wondering if there might be something better or if they have made the right decisions. Not making a move on the right property can result in someone else purchasing before you can get the deal done.

Always be sure that you check the wiring in any property you buy. You will need an inspector for this most likely, but because the wires are behind the walls, damage is something you won?t be able to see with the naked eye. The last thing you need is an unexpected electrical fire in your property.

When buying real estate, make sure to investigate similar real estate properties in the area to ensure that the price being charged is in line with the neighborhood or property type. If the property is overpriced in relation to the neighborhood, it gives you some negotiating power with the seller.

When you?re buying a house, make sure you check first to find out if any unauthorized work has been done on the house. If the previous owner has added on to the house or remodeled part of it without the proper permits, you could end up being responsible for bringing the work up to code.

Finding the right neighborhood for first- time buyers can be hard. Many people struggle with this. A great way to find the perfect neighborhood for you is by doing your research online and touching base with some local real estate agents. Many websites online deal with statistics of what kind of people live in an area and how high or low a crime rate is. Calling a real estate agent in a local area can be of big help too; they can give their personal opinions of a given neighborhood. These are some tips to help you find the right place to live.

It?s important that you?re working hard to make the right decision. Take advice, but don?t let others make the decision for you. Take advantage of these tips, they will assist you in your decision-making. You can find the right property, and even save some time and money in the process.

Rep. Karen Bass: A new alliance for the future

When President Obama kicked off the 35th annual G8 Summit he reminded me of an all too familiar adage: Give a man fish and you'll feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime.

Flanked by African Heads of State, Administration officials, foreign dignitaries and the rock star turned philanthropist, Bono, the President announced the launch of a new global public-private partnership to the address the very serious and persistent food crisis affecting millions around the world.

The ONE Campaign reports that low product yields, under-investment in agricultural sectors and recent spikes in food prices have left nearly one billion people in need of food and proper nutrition. If immediate and sustained action is not taken we risk derailing not only food aid but all development efforts and losing the countless many caught in balance.

Called the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, this new initiative intends to help raise 50 million Africans out of poverty within 10 years by strengthening food security policies. It will initially focus its efforts in Tanzania, Ethiopia and Ghana but add additional nations in subsequent years. By working to develop comprehensive national food policies, increase agricultural investments, and partner with the private sector, the Alliance aims to involve a global coalition of actors toward rapid and sustained growth.

It is truly an extraordinary and ambitious mission that will require significant political will and resources let alone global resolve.

What is perhaps most exciting about this approach is not that the U.S. is leveraging its own position to garner broad G8 support but the premise itself: to create conditions where nations and their people no longer depend on aid and are the architects of their own future. If the Alliance and other development programs are to succeed then the product of our effort will result in nations that are self-sufficient with their citizens fully capable of charting their own course.

The President's announcement is equally remarkable because it takes a bold step by not merely involving government but leveraging the private sector from the start. Some 45 local to multinational companies have already committed $3 billion to support and spur agriculture investment that will greatly improve crop yields, nutrition and feed some of the world's most poor and vulnerable.

As I look at the success of programs like President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and the philanthropy of people like Bill and Melinda Gates, U.S. foreign assistance both public and private is better than it has ever been. My fellow colleagues on Capitol Hill, many of whom have fought hard battles to protect foreign aid budgets in the face of unfair criticism, should be commended for their unwavering support and ensuring the U.S. continues to take a leadership role in its overseas generosity.

The message to the naysayers is clear: We're not throwing precious and limited resources at a problem. Innovative solutions abound that are sustainable investments that allow recipients of aid to be equal partners in designing and implementing programs that are specific to local contexts. They are working; they are saving lives; they are creating bright futures.

President Obama's New Alliance announcement is an acknowledgment that the global community which includes the private sector is capable of achieving an enormous impact even in an economic environment where many nations are being forced to retreat from their promises.

Discussions at this year's G8 summit covered the protracted global economic crisis, grave concerns throughout the Middle East, and the shaky resilience of democracy in Africa and beyond. Despite these very serious challenges that require our focused attention, I am quietly optimistic that the through innovation and partnership we can solve enduring challenges that affect so many.
