Just as our local communities have evolved, we've seriously considered for the past several years how we could someday "give back" and "finish well" - expressions that can mean a lot of things to different people.
As part of our research into opportunities for service, in early 2013 we contacted a Peace Corps recruiter who helped us start our journey.

Governor Schwarzenegger said he would sign the bill. For example, for homeowners considering a short sale, this means that the amount of the “haircut” (loss) their lender(s) would take on that short sale will not be counted as income for them – which it would have been had this law not been enacted. It is a technical bill, and so as always, consult your financial adviser.
