A lot more than you probably think. But if you plan to get one, you have to finesse the degree’s lingering image problem.

The new extension of the home-buyer tax credit gives buyers more time and more opportunity to take advantage. Income limits have changed, for instance, and you no longer have to be a first-time home buyer. Here’s how to grab the newly expanded tax break.
For the second year running, Northern Irish music festival Glasgowbury has been nominated in several categories at the Irish Festival Awards. The 'small but massive' festival which takes place in Draperstown, County Londonderry, last year picked up the Best Service Award and Family Festival Award.
After the sell-out success of Glasgowbury 2009, the festival has been nominated in six categories including Best Small Festival, Best Line-Up, Best Service, Best Toilets, Best Family Festival and Social Responsibility.
In order for the festival to win, festival goers and fans of Glasgowbury must register their vote on the Irish Festival Awards website. Festival organiser Paddy Glasgow said Glasgowbury’s nominations were testament to the success of the acts and the festival goers who make Glasgowbury what it is.
'It’s the second year in a row that we’ve been nominated in the Irish Festival Awards and we’re all very proud that Glasgowbury is being recognised on a national scale. It’s because of the people who have stuck with Glasgowbury over the last ten years that the festival continues to go from strength to strength.
'Winning another award from the Irish Festival Awards would be the icing on the cake of a successful year for Glasgowbury so far. It’s a great achievement to still be here after ten years and the group has diversified in many ways over that time.
With the tenth anniversary of the festival approaching in 2010 plans are already in motion to make it another magical, colourful and fun packed musical extravaganza. For now, we’d really appreciate it if the supporters of Glasgowbury could take the time out to vote for us in the Irish Festival Awards and help us be recognised as one of Ireland’s leading music festivals.'

Singer/songwriter Ken Haddock, folk songstress Juliet Turner, violinist/composer Ruby Colley and multi-cultural music collective Beyond Skin will all perform at the event, compered by Radio Ulster DJ Joe Lindsay.
'I’m happy to help bring awareness to this critical situation,' comments Turner. 'It doesn’t matter what background you’re from, what country you’re from, everyone will be affected by climate change if the right decisions are not made at the UN Conference.
'I’m thrilled to be asked to participate in the concert, it’s a great demonstration of Northern Irish people showing the world’s leaders and local government at Stormont that we care about the world we live in. I hope to share a great mix of songs, and with face painters and a Mexican wave, everyone will definitely be entertained.'
The afternoon’s entertainment will culminate in Belfast Lord Mayor Naomi Long encouraging everyone in the crowd to hold aloft something blue in order to form The Wave, a vast, undulating sea of colour, representing the rising tides caused by climate change, but also the
