Thirty-one years ago, four Cancer Center nurses rode 100 miles through New Hampshire's White Mountains. They rode

to continue the important work of bringing an end to cancer. Join your neighbors, friends and the community- come PROUTY!
All money raised supports cancer research and patient services at Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Norris Cotton Cancer Center.
Funds raised by The Prouty support Cancer Center researchers and clinicians who are working on innovative ways to

Mortgage Rates Keep Dancing With Record
March 8, 2012 By The Wall Street Journal
Mortgage rates in the U.S. declined over the past week as rates continued to hold near record lows,
according to Freddie Macs weekly survey of mortgage rates. For the week ended Thursday, the 30-year
fixed-rate mortgage averaged 3.88%, compared with 3.9% the previous week and 4.88% a year ago.
Rates on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages averaged 3.13%, compared with 3.17% a week earlier and 4.15% a
year ago. This shorter-term mortgage is a popular option for refinancing, and the latest rate marks
a new record low in the survey, which has tracked the 15-year fixed since 1991.
