Denied By Everyone Else – We Can Do That
The team just closed on this beautiful condo in Manhattan Beach.
Our clients had two lenders tell them that they could close, but due to the way they structured the loans, the loans were declined. By the time we received the call, the clients were completely defeated and hoping for a miracle.
Thankfully for them, we here at the Groves Lending Team think outside the box. By changing the way the loan was structured, we were able to get it approved, and ultimately get our clients into their new home. It's always great to help people buy their home, but it is even better to save a deal from another lender.
A big thank you to the buyer's agent Jeffrey Peldon, for sending his clients over to us and allowing us to deliver when others couldn't. If you are looking for an agent on the Westside of LA, the team highly recommends Jeffrey Peldon.
If your lender is not performing, call Scott Groves @ 818-679-5188 or apply online at www.LendLA.com
Refinancing From The Last Frontier – We Can Do That
The team just closed on this refinance in Woodland Hills.
We were able not only to get rid of the mortgage insurance from the existing loan, but we were also able to save our clients over $600 a month on their mortgage payment. I am sure you are thinking any lender can get rid of mortgage insurance and save a client money. Well that may be true, but not every lender can close in under 30 days. Especially when one of the co-borrowers is working on a project in Alaska. With our refined process, we were able to get the loan docs out super-fast and sent up to Alaska for signing and notary.
Can your lender close a loan fast and be able to work with a co-borrower in the last frontier? If not call Scott Groves @ 818-679-5188 or apply online at www.LendLA.com
Finding The Right Jumbo Investor – It Is What We Do
The team just closed on this cute home in Atwater Village.
Whenever the word jumbo is used in lending, there is a an aura
ere of fear, especially when the client is only putting 20% down. This is because jumbo loans have different guidelines compared to conventional loans. To make matters even more difficult, because of these guidelines, jumbo products typically take longer to close.
When the team met the client putting the offer on this home, we were able to vet the lenders and find the best fit. Not only was the client happy with the loan we were able to obtain for him, we were also able to close on time on a 30 day escrow. Everyone involved on both sides of the transaction where extremely happy.
We are so lucky to work with only amazing agents like Anselm Clinard from the world famous Anselm and Alyssa team at Nourmand and Associates. If you are looking for a home in Atwater and the surrounding areas, the team highly recommends Anselm.
If you have any questions regarding jumbo loans and which might be the best for you, call Scott Groves @ 818-679-5188 or apply online at www.LendLA.com
Refinance In Under 30 Days – We Do That All Day Long
The team just closed a refinance on this picturesque house in Glendale.
Unlike most lenders, we here at the Groves Lending Team do not wait for past clients to call us when they are ready to refinance. We proactively keep in touch with all of our clients after they purchase a property. This allows us to let them know when it is the right time to refinance.
With our constant monitoring of the bond markets and our amazing follow up, we were able to perform a no cost refinance and save our client over $200 a month on her mortgage.
Does your lender proactively follow up with you to let you know when it might be time to refinance? If not, call Scott Groves @ 818-679-5188 or apply at www.LendLA.com
Taking Advantage of the New FHA Mortgage Insurance Premium
The team just closed on this home in desirable Highland Park. This was a normal escrow with an FHA loan in place. But during escrow, the FHA announced the reduction of annual insurance premiums. Once the announcement was made we were able to give our borrowers the great news that the high monthly mortgage insurance was going to be reduced dramatically. The bad news was that in order to go with the new mortgage insurance, we would have to wait until it went into effect near the end of escrow. Instead of stopping and waiting for the new date, we continued working on the file so that all we needed was the new mortgage insurance so that we could close quickly, since the seller was waiting to close on his new home. Once we were able to get the new insurance premium, we had docs out and signed, the loan funded, and had a special recording all in the same day.
This escrow was truly a team effort on all sides. Rose Garcia from Garcia Real Estate Group was amazing, helping to keep the borrowers focused as well as teaming up with us so that everyone was on the same page. She was also instrumental in keeping everyone involved up date throughout the process. We were also fortunate to be working with Jo O'Key and Brian Dittmar from The O'Key Group on the listing side. Both Jo and Brian were able to work with the seller to keep him well-informed about the reason for the changes to the loan, not an easy thing to do. Jo and Brian understood that everyone was on the same team to get the transaction closed and did everything they could to help effect it.

Buying or Refinancing in 2015
It's a new year and we've got some new challenges for those looking to buy or refinance a house in 2015. January 1st came with some mortgage guideline changes along with the standard frustrations that plague us as we go into the tax season. Let's dive in.
- Filing 2014 taxes, who is going to invalidate his loan approval this year? - Loan approvals are generally based on a two year historical average of income. Until April 15th, 2015 – we can technically use 2012 and 2013 taxes (plus some year-end information from 2014) to approve a borrower. HOWEVER, most clients will file their taxes prior to April 15th AND most of our clients are making more money these days. It is natural for most borrowers to want their 2012 income to fall off that two year average and instead use 2013 and 2014 income to qualify. That being said, it's imperative that borrowers review a draft copy of 2014 taxes WITH their loan officer prior to filing in order to ensure that the mortgage approval is still valid. This year I will have at least one client find out after it's too late that his accountant got a little too creative, took too many deductions and depressed the "provable" income to a point where our buyer can no longer qualify for a loan. Remember, accountants / tax professionals have the exact opposite job of our underwriters. Tax professionals want to show less taxable income, underwriters want to see more.
- Qualifying with 1-year of tax returns - For some of our self-employed borrowers, we have the ability to qualify off of just one year of tax returns to obtain a new mortgage. Assuming a strong down payment, good credit and other positive compensating factors – we may be able to help a borrower qualify off of 2014 taxes alone. This can help many of your borrowers who may have been declined by another lender due to an unforeseen drop in income in 2012 or 2012 that rebounded in 2014. Call me for more details.
- Changing Jobs - New year – new opportunities, I get it Changing jobs can be exciting, provide more income, happiness and better benefits for our clients. HOWEVER, changing jobs can also invalidate a previously issued loan approval. The most common scenario that causes problems is when a client changes from a "standard" W2 employee to a "contract" or "self-employed" employee. Even if our client is still working for the SAME company, this change in pay structure from "traditional" employment to "self" employment can be grounds for a loan denial. With self-employment comes additional tax reporting policies and typically more tax deductible work related expenses. Since an underwriter – in this job-change scenario – has no historical average or tax returns to prove the expenses posted against this new self-employed income – the loan will normally be declined. If you hear about your client changing jobs – get him in touch with us ASAP about how this may affect the loan approval process. We have solutions to this problem, but need to talk to your buyer BEFORE the job change occurs.
- Two-Four Unit Properties Got Much Harder to Finance - Guidelines regarding using rental income to qualify for the purchase of multi-family units got much harder at the end of last year. Instead of using "projected" rents to help buyers qualify for the purchase of a multi-unit home; Fannie Mae now requires that we use ACTUAL rents to qualify. If rent control has kept rents low – this can make it hard for our clients to obtain financing. Freddie Mac (another larger purchaser of loans) will allow "projected" rents – HOWEVER, Freddie Mac only allows rental income to be used for qualifying IF the buyer has previous land-lord experience. If you or your client is thinking about buying multi-units as an owner occupied property OR as an investment; we need to talk and possibly rework these numbers.
If you have any questions about buying or refinancing this year, Call Scott Groves @ 818-679-5188 or apply online at www.LendLA.com
17 Day Close Is The Norm
The team just closed on this newly "flipped" Highland Park home. Normally we would say we did it in record time, however short closing times have become the norm for us. Our team is expert when it comes to "flips."
As with many "flips," the owner of record of this property changed at least three times, and the value increased over 20% between sales. Luckily our company, Movement Mortgage, has excellent procedures to handle these type of situations and ensure that escrow closes quickly. We have several ways to substantiate increases in value and get the deal closed at the new purchase price.
Frankly, we couldn't have closed this deal without the help of the amazing team at LA Digs. If you're looking for a home in the Eagle Rock/Highland Park area, we highly recommend Tracy and Keely at the LA Digs.
If you want to have your deals close early, Call Scott Groves @ 818-679-5188 or apply online at www.LendLA.com
Out of Country Buyer – We can Do That.
You can't tell by the picture but the team just closed on this three-on-a-lot in Altadena. This was not an easy open and close escrow. All multi-unit properties are tricky. Throw in an investment multi-unit and things become a little more difficult. Add to this an out-of-country borrower and you have an extremely hard loan.
The team was able to work with the client in advance and we were able to plan what additional paperwork we were going to need and received them lightning fast. There are restrictions on executing powers of attorney outside U.S. territory or even within U.S. consulates. We were able to coordinate the timing of the escrow so that the client was able to fly to Los Angeles to sign his loan documents in person on a specific day.
With the amazing help of the team at LA Digs setting expectations helping us set expectations with the client upfront, as well as their diligence throughout, this deal would not have been nearly as smoothly.
If you are looking to buy a multi-unit property and want to work with the best in the Eagle Rock/Altadena areas, we highly recommend Tracy and Keely at LA Digs.
Are you a U.S. citizen living abroad and are looking at purchasing an investment property, call Scott Groves @ 818-679-5188 or apply online at www.LendLA.com
Another Offer Accepted Because No Loan Contingency – That Is What We Do
The team just closed on this awesome horse property in Lakeview Terrace. Working here in the LA area we don't often work on escrows that are horse properties, so when this one popped up we were very excited.
Once again, our client's offer was accepted over all other offers because it was written with no loan contingency—just like a cash offer. Our one worry was the appraisal, because there are few horse properties that could be used as comps. As always, our local appraiser was able to find the comps he needed and our value came in higher than the sales price.
We were so lucky to work with the amazing Mark Moskowitz Team. Both Mark Moskowitz and Helene Reinman were invaluable throughout this escrow. If you are looking for a team that knows it's stuff from Lakeview Terrace to Westlake Village, the team highly recommends the Mark Moskowitz Team.
If you have any questions regarding writing an offer like a cash offer or horse properties, call Scott Groves @ 818-679-5188 or apply online at www.LendLA.com
Gift Funds From A Concurrent Sale – We Can Do That
The team just closed escrow on this beautiful home in Eagle Rock. This was another tricky file that the Groves Team was able to close and, more importantly, close on time.
We have worked with clients who are using the proceeds from the sale of a home as their down payment funds. However, this was a little harder. Our clients were receiving gift funds from the sale of a family member's investment property from out of state. We had to make sure that the investment property, in a slower market, was sold in time for us to close the loan on our end. In addition, our self-employed clients had recently incorporated and added new partners. Because the Groves Team knows how to work with self-employed borrowers, we were able to find a way to make it work, and once the investment property sold we were able to close on time.
As usual, we were working with an amazing agent who was able to help us keep all of the moving pieces of this deal in place. Matt Morgus from Sotheby's International Realty in Los Feliz was on top of everything throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a realtor in the northeast Los Angeles area, the team highly suggest Matt.
If you have any questions regarding gift funds or funds from the sale of your property, call Scott Groves @ 818-679-5188 or apply online at www.LendLA.com

old troy-built tiller
i recently purchased an old troy-built tiller. but i do not know what it is. it has a 6.5 tecumsah engine on it. the only number i can find on it is 20690 on the case. please help. thanks
The tecumseh HH 60 engine is a 6 H.P. engine. If it runs ok, keep it on the machine. It will have enough power to operate it well.
those older ones worked well at garden tilling. If you do get it running and operating, be very careful that you don't allow the engine to tip forward and hit the ground, as that tends to let the engine break off at the mounting lugs, or break the crank-case!There used to be a "bumper" arrangement that bolted onto the front, and down under the engine mount, to keep from breaking the engine casting!
Try to get a manual from MTD, as they bought out the tiller company, and are still selling parts and manuals for them.
When you get it running, carefully learn how it all works, and it will serve you well.

TOS is a little pricey with the cost/trade, but has the best tools IMO and it is the platform I was taught from a mentor. I have heard options express is great as well.
Learning how to invest in options has presented a great change in my future. I have spent a little money on learning techniques, but I must say that the videos you can download from "tradingprosystem.com" is a good way to learn.
The videos are $200 for about 70 videos. The techniques are simple money producing strategies. You can download the videos or watch online. I downloaded the videos as I wanted the content at my disposal.
Of course i recommend learning as much as you can, but the above is cheap and effective.
I am up 25% so far this year.

Rapaport on Jackson's 'clear plan'
Jackson: Knicks 'working tirelessly'
NEW YORK -- Phil Jackson has asked New York Knicks season-ticket holders to "remain optimistic" amid what has been one of the worst seasons in franchise history.
In a letter and video message sent out on Monday, Jackson tried to reassure the team's fan base, saying he has a "clear plan" in place for the 2015 offseason.
"While I know this has been a challenging season for our team on the court, I can also tell you that everyone in the organization is working tirelessly to get our Knicks back to a place where we are once again competing at the highest level," Jackson said in a video message obtained by ESPN New York that doubled as a pitch to season-ticket holders to renew for the 2015-16 season.
In the letter, Jackson talked about the roster moves he's made to clear up cap space for free agency. The Knicks are expected to have at least $25 million in cap space this summer.
"We have made key roster moves to free up significant cap space that will provide us greater flexibility to acquire talent in this summer's free agency," Jackson said. "And for the first time in many years, we expect to have a top pick in the NBA Draft this June. These are key steps to building a roster of players that have both the talent and character to win in New York and who, alongside Carmelo Anthony, will become a team that can become a consistent winner."
Jackson briefly acknowledged the failures of this season in the video and letter.
The Knicks will enter play Wednesday with a 14-60 record -- the worst in the NBA. This is the first time in New York's 69-year franchise history that the team has lost 60 games.
Phil invokes higher authority for rebuild
NEW YORK -- One day after his New York Knicks made the wrong kind of history, team president Phil Jackson took to Twitter to talk about the rebuild that lies ahead.
We will rebuild a team that fits together-guys that want to compete and play the way bball gods approve.#groundup
— Phil Jackson (@PhilJackson11) March 30, 2015
It's interesting that Jackson would use the hashtag "#groundup" at the end of the tweet. He had an opportunity to start the Knicks' rebuild from the ground up in the truest sense last summer when Carmelo Anthony hit free agency. If he wanted to, Jackson could have let Anthony walk and entered free agency this summer with a near-empty roster and an incredible amount of cap space.
Instead, after saying publicly that he hoped Anthony would consider a pay cut, Jackson re-signed the All-Star forward to a $124 million, five-year contract. Jackson will now try to rebuild the Knicks around Anthony, who is rehabbing from left knee surgery and is expected to be healthy for training camp.
Jackson will have at least $25 million in cap space this summer. That amount of money will give the Knicks an opportunity to build a roster with enough talent to compete in the Eastern Conference. New York also will likely have a high pick in June's draft. If they finish the season with the NBA's worst record, the Knicks will pick no lower than fourth.
The draft pick and cap space give Jackson the ingredients to build a contender in New York. This season, Jackson's first full campaign as Knicks president, the team has reached historic lows. They will have a league-worst 14-60 record when they take the floor on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets.
The 60 losses are the highest total in the franchise's 69-year history.
Ledo back: The team announced on Sunday that it has signed guard Ricky Ledo to a second 10-day contract.
Question: What players would you draft or sign in free agency to fit best around Carmelo Anthony?
Bulls don't let guard down against Knicks
CHICAGO -- Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau worries about every opponent.
It doesn't matter whether the Bulls are facing another playoff team like the Toronto Raptors like they did earlier in the week or a team well out of the playoff race like the New York Knicks on Saturday. Thibodeau was equally concerned about both games.
After putting together a double-digit victory over the Raptors on Wednesday, the Bulls didn't let Thibodeau down against the lowly Knicks. The Bulls were clicking from the start -- scoring on eight of their first nine possessions -- and ran away with a 111-80 win.
It was another victory that made the Bulls feel like they were building something as they enter the regular season's final weeks.
"The thing is, everyone is capable of beating you," said Thibodeau, whose team is on a three-game winning streak and moved to within two games of the Cleveland Cavaliers for second place in the Eastern Conference. "I liked the way we approached it this morning. I thought our guys came out with a lot of energy to start the game and we played tough. There are a lot of things we could do better and we have to keep working towards that, but overall we did a lot of good things in that game."
Thibodeau stressed leading up to the game he was seeking more continuity from his team. Players have been in and out of the Bulls' lineup due to injuries all season, and they're finally getting nearly everyone -- Derrick Rose could even begin participating in contact drills next week -- healthy together.
With only Rose and Doug McDermott (back) inactive against the Knicks, Thibodeau was able to utilize most of his roster and see what some different lineups could do on the floor. For the most part, the Bulls remained in synch all evening. They worked the ball around, played off each other and found the open man. They compiled 28 assists on 43 field goals and had just 12 turnovers.
It's not always easy to remain focused in a game where a double-digit lead is created in the first quarter, but the Bulls rarely wavered throughout the 48 minutes. Bulls forward Pau Gasol thought that had to do with the team knowing what's at stake with just eight regular-season games remaining.
"We're in the final stretch of the season," said Gasol, who had 19 points and 12 rebounds in 27:33 of action. "We understand the importance of each and every game. So, the sense of urgency and level of focus is a lot higher."
Bulls center Joakim Noah also liked Saturday's result, but he didn't want to be content.
"It's good," Noah said. "Just got to keep moving and keep getting better individually and as a team. But it's good. We're moving in the right direction."
Despite the momentum the Bulls are generating, they were all for having three days off until their next game. The team will take Sunday completely off and get back in the gym on Monday.
"It's not going to be tough," Noah said of taking time off. "We'll work hard and get ready for the next one."
The next one will be the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, and Thibodeau will undoubtedly be back to being concerned again.
Knicks plumb historic depths with 60th loss
The New York Knicks made the kind of history on Saturday that Phil Jackson probably wants no part of.
New York lost its 60th game of the season against the Chicago Bulls Saturday night. That's the highest loss total in the franchise's 69-year history.
Jackson earlier this month said this of his team: "They're not talented enough to win a 48-minute game."
He wasn't kidding. The Knicks have lost seven straight and 14 of 16.
All the losing and the misery of this season should benefit the Knicks in June.
At 14-60, New York has the worst record in the NBA. They are three games ahead of Minnesota (16-56) in the race for the league's worst record.
If the Knicks finish with sole possession of the NBA's worst record, they will be guaranteed to pick no lower than fourth in June's draft. They will also have a 25 percent chance to land the No. 1 pick.
So who will they select?
Kentucky's Karl-Anthony Towns, Duke's Jahlil Okafor and Ohio State's D'Angelo Russell are considered the top prospects.
On Saturday, Kentucky's Towns had 25 points on 10-for-13 shooting in the Wildcats' win over Notre Dame in the Elite Eight.
The Knicks will surely consider Towns if they end up with a top pick.
According to league sources, there was a stretch in between mid February and March that New York had a scout or executive at Kentucky's practices or games for approximately 20 of the 30 opportunities.
In addition to the draft, the Knicks will also have at least $25 million to spend in free agency this summer.
So Jackson will have an opportunity to put together a team that can contend for a playoff spot next season.
Losing 60 games, of course, wasn't Jackson's plan coming into the season.
He said prior to the season that he believed the Knicks would make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.
Later, when it became clear that the Knicks weren't going to contend for the postseason, Jackson traded J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert to Cleveland for two second-round draft picks and two trade exceptions.
Days later, Jackson offered a "mea culpa" to the fan base for the way things went south in his first full season as president. He also explained why he thought the Knicks would be a playoff team.
"In the East, we looked at teams that were under .500 [as teams] that could compete [for the playoffs]," Jackson said. "It wasn't a really big challenge, a challenge I thought this team was capable of. They obviously weren't."
Now, the question for the Knicks is whether Jackson is up to the challenge of turning this mess around.
Knicks battered by Bulls in franchise-worst 60th loss of season
CHICAGO -- Nikola Mirotic scored 24 points, Pau Gasol added 19 points and 12 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls handed the Knicks their franchise-record 60th loss, beating New York 111-80 Saturday night.
A night after tying the team's previous single-season loss mark, the Knicks dropped their seventh straight and 14th in 16 games.
Jimmy Butler scored 18 for Chicago.
The rookie Mirotic had another strong game, finishing five points shy of his career high. Gasol recorded his league-leading 48th double-double as Chicago won for the fifth time in six games.
The Bulls, who led by 20 at halftime, fell four points short of their most lopsided victory of the season. They pulled within two games of Central Division leader Cleveland and moved 1 1/2 games ahead of fourth-place Toronto in the Eastern Conference.
Andrea Bargnani led New York with 14 points and seven rebounds.
Thomas scores 18, Celtics hold off Knicks for 96-92 win
NEW YORK -- Isaiah Thomas scored 18 points and Jae Crowder had 17 points and nine rebounds as the Boston Celtics held off a late rally by the New York Knicks for a 96-92 win on Friday night.
Brandon Bass scored 16 points, Evan Turner had 15 and Avery Bradley finished with 10 for Boston.
Andrea Bargnani tied a season high with 25 points for the Knicks.
The Celtics led by as many as 11 points in the fourth quarter, but Langston Galloway's 3-pointer with 25 seconds left cut the Knicks' deficit to 92-88.
Thomas then made 1 of 2 free throws with 23 seconds left, and Early did the same with 13 seconds remaining.
Does NYK have NBA's worst front office?
The ESPN Forecast panel ranked the Knicks' front office 30th in a league of 30 teams. The management team of Phil Jackson and Steve Mills came in at 29th; coach Derek Fisher was ranked 30th. Lastly, owner James Dolan came in at 30th.
Below, we'll take a look at why those rankings make sense and why there is reason to hope that they will improve in the future.
President Phil Jackson; GM Steve Mills (29th): Jackson and Mills thought they'd put together a team that could compete for the seventh or eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. Instead, they put together the worst team in franchise history.
Jackson's offseason moves haven't panned out; he traded Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton for a package headlined by Jose Calderon. Calderon has played below expectation.
Jackson also dealt two rotation players (Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith) for two second-round picks. That's not exactly a significant haul, though he did rid New York of Smith's contract.
That's probably one of the few redeeming qualities about Jackson's first year as Knicks president: he's put the team in good position to rebuild.
Derek Fisher (30th): The Knicks have been set up to lose games since early January, but that doesn't mean that Fisher is above criticism. The first-year coach struggled to find a consistent rotation, using 20 different starting lineups in the first half of the season.
His defensive schemes have also hurt the Knicks. Fisher wanted New York to focus on defending the paint and stopping opponents in transition. That's come at the expense of defending the 3-point arc.
The Knicks have allowed opponents to shoot 38.7 percent from beyond the arc, which ranks 30th in the NBA.
The real test for Fisher, of course, will be next season. In theory, he'll have a roster that can compete for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
James Dolan (30th): The Knicks owner alienated some of his own fan base by sending an email to a long-time fan, suggesting that he go root for the Brooklyn Nets. Between that and the miserable season, it hasn't been a good year for Dolan.
Better days ahead? There's reason to believe that the Jackson and the Knicks can turn things around. They will be armed with at least $25 million to spend and have a high first-round pick in June's draft.
Furthermore, for the first time in recent Knicks history, it seems like the owner, president and coach are all on the same page.
Jackson has given Fisher the freedom to coach the team the way he sees fit; Dolan has thus far stuck to his promise to give Jackson autonomy when it comes to basketball decisions. It's anyone's guess how long this tranquility can last. Dolan has a history of meddling with his front-office people.
But the idea that all three men are on the same page, at this point, bodes well for the future.
Also, the fact that Dolan is a willing spender should help. For all of his warts, no one has ever accused Dolan of being cheap when it comes to paying for an asset that his front office deems worthy.
Question: Do you agree with the rankings? Do you see brighter days ahead for the Knicks?

Sun isn't setting on Stoudemire's career
DALLAS -- One by one, the All-Stars from the Phoenix Suns' "Seven Seconds or Less" era are riding off into the sunset.
First, Shawn Marion announced that he'd retire at this season's end, the Matrix's 16th in the league. Then Steve Nash officially called it a career, his 41-year-old body failing to allow him to play his 19th season.
But Amar'e Stoudemire, the 13-year veteran whose best seasons came when he was running and gunning with Nash and Marion in Phoenix, isn't remotely close to being ready to consider hanging up his Nikes.
"I'm the last man standing," Stoudemire said with a smile while stretched out on the floor of the visitors locker room with a pair of compression boots during the Dallas Mavericks' recent trip to Phoenix. "I plan on standing for a while, by the way.
"No, no, there's no way. There's a lot of youth in these legs. I have a lot of competitive juices still flowing in me. There's no way I'm ready to be the next man."
At 32 with chronic knee issues, Stoudemire is no longer the athletic freak he was during his high-flying Phoenix days, when he routinely soared high above the rim to catch lobs from Nash and finish in highlight fashion. But Stoudemire remains plenty capable of providing scoring punch off a playoff team's bench and plans to continue doing so for a long time to come, speculating that he could play five or six years with the proper maintenance.
The Mavs -- who signed Stoudemire for the veterans minimum after he received an All-Star break buyout from the final season of his five-year, $99.7 million contract with the New York Knicks -- will be among the teams expressing interest in him this summer. He's been productive as the Mavs' backup center, averaging an efficient 9.8 points and 3.4 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game.
Owner Mark Cuban has made it clear that he'd like Stoudemire to stay in Dallas, comparing him to Vince Carter, another former perennial All-Star who contributed in a reserve role for the Mavs.
"I love Amar'e -- love, love, love the guy," Cuban said. "There's not enough superlatives. He's just a great guy on the court and off. I just love his physicality. He just wants to win and is a great guy."
Stoudemire chose the Mavs over several other suitors last month, so clearly there's mutual interest. Money, minutes and maximizing the chances of winning his first championship -- not necessarily in that order -- will likely be the biggest factors in Stoudemire's decision this summer.
The Mavs will probably offer Stoudemire a significant piece of their midlevel exception. Stoudemire, who says he can "compete at a high level for years to come," will likely request a multiyear deal.
But there will be plenty of time this summer to have those kinds of conversations. And, as much urgency as he feels to contend for a title now, Stoudemire is certain he has plenty of time left in his career.
"This isn't it for me, for sure," Stoudemire said. "There's a lot of basketball left. There's a lot of high-level basketball left in me. I feel competitive. I have faith in my body, what I can do on a basketball court on a consistent basis.
"The next step should be the best step, because I want to make sure I leave the game on a high note. That's the ultimate goal."

I think the Burns trade was made more for the future than now. DW knows he has to replace Boyle down the road, so he found the next best thing without giving up roster players and hurting the "now" chances (too badly).
I am still not sure about the Heatley trade but I'm not sure if it's because Heater was my homeboy or because Havlat is a soft contact-avoiding glass man that does not provide the offense that we need but rather more of Clowe/Jumbo style play... just faster... but much softer.

Lin-surgery! Knicks guard done for regular season
It's the second serious injury loss of the week for the Knicks, who are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference. Amare Stoudemire is out two to four weeks with a back injury, leaving the Knicks without their second- and third-leading scorers for perhaps the remainder of the regular season.
Davis still isn't 100 percent after a herniated disk in his back kept him out of action until February. The Knicks also have Mike Bibby and Toney Douglas, plus rookie Iman Shumpert as point guard options, but none as good as Lin.
"We've got to go on, but he's a big piece of our puzzle and what we were doing as of late before he actually went out," interim coach Mike Woodson said. "All's not bad. Again, we've got three veteran point guards sitting over there and the rookie we could play some at the point. We're just going to have to make do until he's able to get back into uniform. But it is a big blow."
Lin flourished in D'Antoni's offense, and there was immediate speculation he would struggle - or even lose his starting spot - when Woodson replaced him on March 14. Instead, Lin kept on rolling, leading the Knicks to six wins in seven games before he was hurt.
Woodson said he's known of players that have played through meniscus tears, but that only Lin knows his body. Lin knew he would need surgery eventually, but hoped to delay it until after the season.
"He's elected to have the surgery and we've got to respect that, because only he knows the pain that he's feeling. And there is a problem, so it's got to be fixed," Woodson said.
The Knicks had already tried three point guards when they finally turned to Lin, who had been cut by Golden State and Houston before signing with the Knicks. D'Antoni immediately elevated him to the starting lineup after his performance against the Nets, and Lin responded with the greatest beginning stretch ever for a starter.
He was the first player with at least 20 points and seven assists in each of his first five starts since the Elias Sports Bureau began charting starts in 1970. He had a 3-pointer to win a game in Toronto, scored 38 points to outplay Kobe Bryant in a national TV victory over the Lakers, then had 28 points and 14 assists in another nationally televised victory over the NBA champion Dallas Mavericks.
All along, the frenzy around him increased. Commissioner David Stern said he had never seen so much interest created by one player in such a short period of time. Knicks games were picked up by TV stations in basketball-crazed Asia, and Lin actually pleaded for privacy for his family in Taiwan.
Lin will be a free agent after the season and said he hopes to return to New York, but otherwise wasn't thinking that far in the future.
"I'm not even worried about that right now," he said. "It's not like a career-ending thing or it's not something that will bother me. Once it's fixed, it's fixed, it's the most simple surgery you can have and so I'm more concerned about the season."

The Patriots continue to sign draft picks at a rapid rate, as it was learned Thursday three more members of the 2009 draft class have agreed to contracts and two others are likely just days from signing deals of their own.
Three more members of the 2009 draft class got their deals done -- second-round pick Sebastian Vollmer, third-round selection Brandon Tate and seventh-round pick Julian Edelman, all of whom signed four-year contracts with New England. (For more on those deals, click here.) That leaves New England with seven of their 12 picks in the fold -- Darius Butler, Rich Ohrnberger, Myron Pryor and Darryl Richard were already signed.
In addition, it now appears that second-round pick Ron Brace and sixth-round pick Jake Ingram are in the final stages of their negotiations with the Patriots, and sources close to both indicated Thursday the two should have deals done with New England sooner rather than later.
Patriots' rookies are scheduled to report to training camp on July 26.
Brace, who was the 40th overall selection in the draft, is finalizing a deal a source says is similar to the four-year deal signed by Butler. It certainly makes sense when it comes to overall salary structure -- Butler, who was selected 41st overall (one pick behind Brace) signed a four-year deal for $4.275 million with New England, with $2.06 million of that guaranteed.
At 6-foot-3 and 330 pounds, Brace is a native of Springfield who starred as a high schooler at Worcester Burncoat. At Boston College, he lined up alongside defensive lineman B.J. Raji (a first-round pick of the Packers), and was a second-team All-ACC selection in 2008 after earning honorable mention in 2007. In his last two seasons at The Heights, Brace combined for 54 tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks
With the uncertainty surrounding the future of Pro Bowl nose tackle Vince Wilfork -- he is entering the final year of a six-year contract -- Brace could be seen a possible replacement for Wilfork down the road. He has shown some positional versatility in the past, with an ability to play defensive tackle in the 4-3 or nose in the 3-4.
The Patriots certainly seem him as a space-eater.
"He's huge. This guy's big. He's big and he's wide," said Director of Player Personnel Nick Caserio when he was asked about Brace. "It's hard to find these kinds of guys."
"[Ron] Brace is a bigger player, very powerful and explosive, [with a] different playing style," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said when asked to compare Brace to the other two defensive linemen New England selected this past April, Darryl Richard and Myron Pryor.
"[He's] a little bit taller, so I think there is some degree of flexibility between playing on the center, playing on the guard, and playing between the tackle and the guard, or on the tackle in varying degrees with all three players. How that actually manifests itself, we'll see."
As for Ingram, a league source said Thursday night "the two sides have exchanged numbers, and are hoping to make more progress later this week." No contract details were provided, but it's reasonable to think that Ingram will receive something in the neighborhood of a four-year deal -- 23 of the 25 players taken in the sixth round who have signed so far got four-year contracts.
As for total dollars, Ingram's worth may be skewed a bit because he's a special teamer, but a player taken two spots after him -- cornerback DeAndre Wright of New Mexico, who went at No. 200 overall to the Giants -- got a four-year deal for $1.83 million, which included a $93,009 signing bonus.
The 6-foot-3, 232-pounder is looking to fill the shoes of the departed Lonie Paxton at the long snapper spot. A Hawaii product, he was selected with the 198th overall pick in the draft, and will battle veteran Nathan Hodel for the long snapping job. He certainly has an impressive resume: he was one of two long snappers invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, and he also garnered an invite to the Senior Bowl.
"He's an athletic guy, a little bit smaller than some of the snappers in the league, but a little bit more athletic than most of the snappers in the league," said Belichick.
"[He's] an experienced guy. He's done that. He can block. He can cover pretty well. His snaps are accurate; they had good velocity. So I think that he will be competitive for that position. I felt like he was a top player for his position in the draft."
Greg and Chris talk with Mike Reiss from ESPN Boston in hour 2 of NFL Sunday to discuss a variety of offseason happenings with the Pats and throughout the league. Greg and Chris also get into the NFL Draft and where Mariota and Winston will go.
Mike Reiss calls the guys to talk about the offseason news for the Pats. He talks about the Pats/Jets tampoering fiasco, free agency, where he sees Ridley and Connolly ending up, if the Patriots would be interested in Reggie Wayne and more.
In the first hour of the show, Greg and Chris discuss the news coming out of the owners' meetings this week and rule changes. Belichick's blow-up over the league not wanting to spend on endzone cameras was well documented and the guys react. They also talk about the Jets ridiculous tampering charges, free agents still lingering out there, where Stevan Ridley will land and the RB position in New England. Dickerson and Price briefly discuss the adventures of Tom Brady before being joined by WEEI.com's Mike Petraglia to talk all things Pats in the offseason.
Brow Buff's Sam Packard and Ben Kichen break down Marcus Smart's unfortunate ball tap, debate leadership in the Celtics locker room, and rehash the great Kevin Love to Boston rumors.
Flannery joins Mut to break down the Isaiah Thomas trade to Boston and what it means for the Celtics this season and in the future. Paul also chats with Mut about the other deals that happened at the NBA's trading deadline
We talk to Chris Mannix from SI to break down the C's acquisition of Isaiah Thomas and the crazy trade deadline in the rest of the NBA.
Joe and Alex talked with the Sox AGM about the state of the team as Opening Day approaches.
Mut, Tomase, and Bradford kick things off talking about Shane Victorino taking offense to people reading into some comments he made about trading for Cole Hamels. They also discuss Blake Swihart and how soon he could be up if Christian Vazquez starts the season on the DL.
Joe Kelly joined the Hot Stove show where he talked about being ready for his next spring training start after a biceps ailment forced him out of his last outing, he talks about his NCAA brackets and how teammate Wade Miley has a perfect bracket still.
Peter Chiarelli joined the Sunday Skate crew to talk about the Bruins playoff push heading into the final handful of games of the regular season. Chiarelli talked about avoiding some of the overly negative feedback he gets while realizing that the team does have real issues. He discusses what went down at the trade deadline and if he was happy with the outcome, Lucic having a down year and underperforming, the salary cap and if he considers it as big of an issue as it's been made out to be and what the future holds for the team.
It's a big hour #2 for the Sunday Skate dudes - they talk about the B's defenseman and what the future looks like at that position, with both moves the team can make and younger guys in the AHL. They also get into the Bruins philosophy on bringing guys up and sending them back down and how players deal with that. Finally, the boys are joined by Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli to discuss EVERYTHING.
The Sunday Skate crew gets the show going discussing the Bruins big, impressive victory over the NY Rangers yesterday. What can you take from that game? According to LB - Lyndon Byers - who called the guys from the road, not a lot. LB drops a dime on what was going on with the Rangers yesterday. DJ and Joe discuss Claude's lines and groupings and the importance of Ryan Spooner. They also get into Lucic, his contributions this year and if he can turn things around.

The guys discussed the controversial Indiana law.
The guys opened the show by discussing the Presidents visit yesterday.
Michael Holley comes in for the crossover, and continues the discussion with Tim over what will happen if the Patriots face any type of punishment for the deflated footballs in the AFCCG.
With the Wells report seemingly wrapping up (we hope), Tim and Lou got to talking about possible fines and punishments the Patriots must face. It's possible that the Patriots will face a small fine, but should they take that laying down? The conversation brings out a little passion from BOTH sides.
Jackie Mac talks about the Celtics win over the Hornets last night and their chances of making the playoffs.
Dale, Michael and Jerry Thornton discuss Robert Kraft's testimony and the Hernandez trial overall as it continues to unfold.

Air-Layering Trees
Has anyone here in AZ ever air-layered a tree? I've been reading up on it on the forum and have found great directions to starting a new tree this way. However, I'm concerned with our very warm weather if this method is successful here during the summer.
Have you tried it and what were your results? I have a fig tree and persimmon tree I'd like to try it on. Both are about 1 1/2 years old, is that too young?
Before I go looking for the info, can you tell us just how this is supposed to work? As for fig trees, about all you need to do is cut off a piece and stick it in soil somewhere. It's one of the easiest trees to propagate that I can think of.
I was thinking of doing this with a Hong Kong orchid tree and read up quite a bit on it. I was also concerned about the heat, but read a tip about wrapping the outside of the plastic and moss package with foil. That seemed like a good idea. I decided against it but not because I was afraid it wouldn't work. Please let us know how it goes if you try it.
Tomatofreak, I'm not sure I understand your question, but I'll try to answer it. Air-layering is the method of propagating a tree by making a "wound" on the limb, then wrap it with moist sphagnum moss which is then covered with plastic wrap. By keeping the moss moist, roots then develop which after a few months, the limb can be cut off below the roots and transplanting as a tree.
Haname, if I try it I'll post my results here.
Yep, that answered my question. Is it supposed to work with any tree? Regardless, with the heat we have, I think I'd wait till fall. I think sphagnum moss (or anything else) wrapped in plastic and left in this heat would steam - or boil, depending on how much water is in the packet.

Aesthetic appeal no longer drives e-retail web site design. Today, retailers need to think more about designing sites compatible with the growing variety of devices consumers use to access the web.
There's been an explosive growth of smartphones, netbooks, laptops and most recently tablet computers like Apple Inc.'s iPad. Add in the growing variety of operating systems and the widely varying screen sizes of those devices and it's easy to see why retailers must move away from a one-size-fits-all web site design strategy.
"Retailers need to take a three-tiered approach to web site design based on the device being used to access their site, the operating system running the device and the screen size and resolution of the device," says Michael Svanascini, president of web site design firm Americaneagle.com. "Site design is becoming more technology-driven."
The starting point for a retailer's site design strategy must now be creating templates compatible with the devices commonly used by consumers and their operating systems.
"There are myriad operating systems and screen sizes for smartphones and personal computers," says Svanascini. "Retailers have to be thinking about how the operating systems and screen size for those devices impact how their web site looks."
Simple is beautiful
Simplicity is the best approach when designing an m-commerce site. "Replicating the basic content, functionality and flow of the e-commerce site on an m-commerce site is essential to creating a pleasing consumer experience," says Christina Anderson, e-commerce business development strategist for Americaneagle.com. "Consumers need to be able to perform the same basic actions critical to completing a transaction as easily on the retailer's m-commerce site as on their e-commerce site."
Retailers must keep in mind that not all smartphone operating systems are compatible with Flash and Ajax—two applications favored by web site designers because they add pizzazz to the shopping experience. Nonetheless, retailers can still design web sites that have plenty of sex appeal.
One major concern is that Apple's iOS operating system, the underlying software used by the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, does not render Flash elements e-retailers often use to display video and animation. But that can be overcome by writing programming code to identify when the device accessing a retailer's web site is running iOS. Once the diagnosis is made, the host server disables Flash for that consumer's device and replaces the Flash-designed content with rich, static images featuring a Shop Now button.
Americaneagle.com has successfully implemented this feature for StuartWeitzman.com, a retailer of designer women's shoes and handbags.
Compatibility issues with Ajax, which allows images to change when moused over without a page refresh, and the operating systems for iPhone and Android are becoming less of an issue. The newest versions of the operating systems for these devices now support Ajax, Svanascini adds.
Small screens
Answers are also emerging for how to solve the difference in screen sizes between 25-inch desktop computer monitors that support 1280 pixels per inch and tablet computer screens that support 1024 pixels per inch.
"In some cases it is a matter of paring down the amount of content that appears on a tablet computer screen," says Anderson. "Banner ads do not necessarily need to be displayed on smaller screens. It's a matter of having a template in place for the access device being used and finding a balance between the quantity and quality of content used in that template."
Just as retailers need to be aware of how the technology behind the latest generation of smartphones and computers impacts their site design strategy, they must take the time to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of a potential site design partner, including the company's financial health.
"Making sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to the usability and functionality of the web site and making sure the site design partner has the financial strength to be there for the long haul are key in today's economy," says Svanascini. "The future growth potential for e-commerce is tremendous, and being able to work closely with a financially stable site design partner can provide retailers a substantial edge."

I have spent my life teaching, first in a primary Montessori classroom and then at home with my four sons, whom I homeschooled from preschool through twelfth grade, and who have all earned honors at their colleges, as I did at mine. While homeschooling I did not use packaged curricula or computer courses, but created my own course material and lesson plans, and either worked with my boys one-on-one or held small classes with them. I have my own set of Montessori materials and can tutor young students using the Montessori method, which includes phonics and early math materials. I teach early, remedial, or advanced reading skills with books on whichever subjects are most interesting to the student; I love teaching the fundamentals of math, including fractions, up through beginning algebra; I am a true grammarian and have a simple, structured, intuitive method for teaching grammar gleaned from my seventh-grade English teacher, Montessori, and experience teaching my own children; I lead children on an exploration of vocabulary from many different angles, such as root words, derivatives, catch-phrases, relevant words in books being read, and the history of language; and finally, and best of all, I love reading and discussing literature with students. However, although my sons all made excellent scores on standardized tests, including the SAT, I do not teach to any test. I teach to help people learn, to make learning easier for them, and to encourage them to love to learn. If this appeals to you, please contact me. My name is Laura.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
In my undergraduate studies, I took many Education courses, such as Curriculum, Children's Literature, Music Education, and Advanced Grammar, in preparation to receive a Teaching Certificate; however, I did not like practice teaching in the public schools. When I learned about the Montessori method, I took the Montessori training and received a Montessori Primary certificate. I then taught Montessori until I had my own children. As each of my four sons grew, I began to teach them with the Montessori materials, and then decided to homeschool them. I taught each of them throughout not only the elementary grades, but also through high school. They have all been highly successful in college. I believe that is the best testimonial I can offer.
From number recognition to concrete experiences with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, through memorization of number facts and sensible, simple explanations of using fractions, I can help children lay a strong foundation on which to build an understanding of higher math.
Grammar is one of my favorite subjects to teach because it is so logical, and yet is flexible enough to allow room for individual expression and play. Many teachers of young children can't explain it clearly because they never truly understood it themselves. I have a straightforward, simple method which my 7th-grade teacher used to clear up my confusion and which I used with my own four sons at a much earlier age. I would be happy to continue the tradition of helping others gain this most basic awareness of how words are used in our language!
Not only did I learn to read by the phonics method, but I also was instructed in phonics while taking the primary Montessori training at the AMI Montessori Institute in Washington, DC, in the 1981-82 school year. While homeschooling, I taught each of my four boys to read using the phonics method. Finally, I was instructed in phonics again while training to be a volunteer tutor for the Literacy Council of St Mary's County, MD.

Vandalism at the VFW
Graffiti on the Worthington VFW sign appeared overnight and was first reported Monday morning. Because the sign hangs high over the sidewalk, the vandalism was likely done from the roof of the building. The nearby Elks Lodge also had graffiti marks, a source said.

DEFINITION of 'Junk Bond'
A colloquial term for a high-yield or non-investment grade bond. Junk bonds are fixed-income instruments that carry a rating of 'BB' or lower by Standard & Poor's, or 'Ba' or below by Moody's. Junk bonds are so called because of their higher default risk in relation to investment-grade bonds.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Junk Bond'
Junk bonds are risky investments, but have speculative appeal because they offer much higher yields than safer bonds. Companies that issue junk bonds typically have less-than-stellar credit ratings, and investors demand these higher yields as compensation for the risk of investing in them. A junk bond issued from a company that manages to turn its performance around for the better and has its credit rating upgraded will generally have a substantial price appreciation.
