Telling stats about each starting QB
Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys: Romo has led 13 game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime over the past three seasons, two more than any other quarterback. Romo also ranks fifth in Total QBR in the fourth quarter and overtime since 2011.
Eli Manning, New York Giants: Manning led the NFL with a career-high and franchise-record 27 interceptions last season, five more than any other QB. It was the most interceptions by any QB in a season since Brett Favre in 2005 (29).
Nick Foles, Philadelphia Eagles: Foles threw 27 touchdowns and just two interceptions last season. Foles' touchdown-to-interception ratio of 13.5 was the best by any qualifying QB in a season in NFL history.
Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins: Griffin ranked fifth in the NFL with a Total QBR of 73.2 on the 0-to-100 scale as a rookie in 2012. Last season, his rating plunged to 40.1, 29th in the NFL. Griffin had the league's largest decrease in Total QBR from 2012 to 2013.
Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals: Palmer led the NFL with 145 passes thrown 15 or more yards downfield last season, but he also led the league with 13 interceptions on such throws while finishing 17th in yards per attempt and 29th in touchdown-to-interception ratio on deep passes.
Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco 49ers: Kaepernick has been blitzed on a league-high 38.3 percent of his dropbacks over the past two seasons. But he's also one of the best QBs against the blitz, with the third-highest QBR since the start of 2012 (75.2).
Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks: Including playoffs, Wilson is 28-9 as a starter over the past two seasons. That's the most wins by a starting QB in his first two seasons in NFL history and tied with Peyton Manning for the most wins in the NFL since 2012.
Shaun Hill, St. Louis Rams: Shaun Hill is 13-13 with a 50.1 Total QBR (50 is average) in his career as a starting quarterback. Sam Bradford is 18-30 in 48 career starts and has never posted a Total QBR over 50.3 in a season.
Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears: During his first four seasons in Chicago, Cutler was sacked on 7.6 percent of his dropbacks, the highest rate among qualifying QBs. In his first season under Marc Trestman in 2013, Cutler was sacked on just 5.0 percent of his dropbacks (sixth-lowest rate in NFL).
Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions: Stafford threw 16 touchdown passes and six interceptions in his first eight games last season. In his last eight games, he threw 13 touchdowns and 13 interceptions, tied with Joe Flacco for the most interceptions in the NFL over that span.
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers: Over the past three seasons, Rodgers ranks first in the NFL in yards per attempt (8.5) and touchdown-to-interception ratio (5.1), second in Total QBR (78.9) and third in completion percentage (67.5).
Matt Cassel, Minnesota Vikings: Cassel completed 73 percent of his passes and averaged 8.9 yards per attempt last season when targeting Greg Jennings. When targeting all other players, he completed 59 percent of his passes for 6.9 yards per attempt.
Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons: Ryan was pressured on 203 dropbacks last season, 20 more than any other quarterback. From 2009 to 2012, he was pressured an average of just 113 times per season.
Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers: In his three NFL seasons, Newton has been sacked, hit while throwing or hit while carrying the ball 467 times. That's more than double the total for any other quarterback. Next closest is Ryan Fitzpatrick, at 230.
Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints: Brees has thrown for 5,000 yards in four seasons, including each of the past three. Every other player in league history has combined for four seasons with 5,000 or more passing yards.
Josh McCown, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: McCown had the league's third-highest completion percentage (51.2) on passes 15 or more yards downfield last season. Seventeen of his 21 completions on such throws were to Alshon Jeffery or Brandon Marshall.
EJ Manuel, Buffalo Bills: Manuel was among the NFL's least effective QBs on third down last season. Manuel ranked last in the NFL in yards per attempt (5.2) on third down and second to last in completion percentage (47.5).
Ryan Tannehill, Miami Dolphins: Tannehill was sacked 58 times last season, the most in a season since Jon Kitna for the Lions in 2006 (63). Tannehill has been sacked 93 times in his career, the most by any player in his first two NFL seasons since Jake Plummer in 1997-98 (101).
Tom Brady, New England Patriots: In 2013, Brady had his lowest completion percentage (60.5) in a full season since 2003, his fewest yards per attempt (6.9) since 2006 and his fewest TD passes (25) since 2006. However, Brady also threw a league-high 163 passes to rookies last season.
Geno Smith, New York Jets: Over the first 13 weeks of 2013, Smith was the NFL's lowest-rated QB with a Total QBR of 21.6. Over the last four weeks of 2013, Smith was the league's second-highest rated QB with a QBR of 78.9, trailing only Peyton Manning.
Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos: Last year, Manning became the fourth player in NFL history to set the single-season record for passing yards and passing TDs in the same season. He joined Dan Marino (1984), Sid Luckman (1943) and Cecil Isbell (1942).
Alex Smith, Kansas City Chiefs: Over the past three seasons, only 17 of Smith's 1,171 passes have been intercepted, giving Smith the lowest interception percentage (1.45) of any QB since the start of 2011. Smith also ranks fourth in win percentage over that span, trailing only Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.
Derek Carr, Oakland Raiders: Carr led FBS with 5,082 passing yards at Fresno State last season. Carr's 50 touchdown passes were 10 more than any other FBS quarterback (Florida State's Jameis Winston, 40). Carr had a bigger TD-Int differential (+42) than any other FBS quarterback's touchdown passes total.
Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers: After entering 2013 with a career completion percentage of 63.6, Rivers led the league with a 69.5 completion percentage last season. Rivers also had just 13 turnovers in 2013 after turning it over 47 times from 2011-12 (tied for second most in NFL).
Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens: Flacco has started 96 of a possible 96 games since his rookie season in 2008. According to Elias Sports Bureau, that's the second-longest starts streak by a QB to begin his career since the merger. Flacco trails Peyton Manning (208).
Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals: Dalton is 30-18 with 80 touchdown passes and 49 interceptions in 48 regular-season starts. In three postseason starts, he's 0-3 with one touchdown and six interceptions. Cincinnati has scored 33 total points in Dalton's three playoff starts.
Brian Hoyer, Cleveland Browns: Hoyer was 3-0 and completed 59.4 percent of his passes with a 47.5 Total QBR last season. All other Browns QBs were 1-12 and completed 55.0 percent of their passes with a 31.7 Total QBR.
Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers: Over the past three seasons, Roethlisberger has the league's highest completion percentage (51.8), most passing yards (1,837), most TD passes (18) and second-highest Total QBR (60.5) when he's under duress or hit while throwing. The average QBR on such plays in that span is 26.9.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, Houston Texans: Fitzpatrick is 27-49-1 in 77 career regular-season starts. The only active QB with more regular-season starts who has never started a playoff game is Jason Campbell (79).
Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts: Luck has thrown for 8,196 yards since entering the league in 2012, the most ever by a QB in his first two seasons. Only seven quarterbacks have thrown for more yards than Luck since the start of his rookie year.
Chad Henne, Jacksonville Jaguars: Henne's average pass was just 6.5 yards downfield last season, giving him the shortest average pass attempt in the NFL. Fifty-five percent of Henne's attempts were within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage.
Jake Locker, Tennessee Titans: After backing up Matt Hasselbeck as a rookie in 2011, Locker has missed 14 games with injuries over the past two seasons. Of the 20 quarterbacks drafted in the top 10 since 2000, only Rivers and Matt Leinart threw fewer passes in their first three seasons than Locker's 563.

Buying a house is a big step. The right time to take this leap depends on your financial and personal situation as well as your goals. If you are considering buying a house now, here are some strong reasons why the timing could be right: • Housing prices in Texas have been steadily rising at a moderate pace for many years, even while other states have experienced wild price fluctuations. • If you're a first-time buyer or if you have owned your home for Yes some time, you may qualify for a tax credit of up to $8,000. For more No information visit http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4819.pdf. Maybe • I think so • Other Texas-specific programs can lower your interest rate or pro- vide additional tax-credit incentives. • Interest rates are at or near record lows. Even small reductions in the interest rate can significantly boost the purchase price you can af- ford when buying a home. • Texas has one of the most affordable housing markets compared to household income, ac- cording to the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University. • Our state's economy is strong and diverse, and the population is expected to continue grow- ing steadily. These factors all point to continued health in the housing market. As Texas REALTORS®, we can show you how our current hous- ing-market conditions factor in to your goal of buying a home. You can count on us to put your interests first while assisting you during this exciting process. www.CanyonLakeAgents.com 830 905-7100 · firstname.lastname@example.com When viewing a home, leave your emotions behind. Homebuyers often follow their hearts, and they should. Sometimes just going with a gut feeling is the best indicator. But when it's house-touring time, it's important to set those emotions aside and replace them with clear-headed thinking and a critical eye. Otherwise, your potential dream house might just turn into a money pit. Although you should always hire a pro- fessional inspection before you complete the sale, you can spot the more obvious trouble signs early in the process simply by knowing what to look for. You can quickly check five key areas to determine if the home has serious problems. Roof. A new roof can cost between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on the type. • A quick method to determine if the roof is leaking is to look in the attic. WARNING: Don't climb into the attic yourself, unless you know how to walk on joists; you might step through the ceiling and injure yourself. Simply open the attic access panel and look inside. • With a flashlight, check the rafters. They should not show water stains, which indicate leaking. • With the flashlight off, look up at the roof. Any pinpoints of light shining through indicate a worn roof. Foundation. A cracked foundation is a serious matter. It can cost tens of thousands of dollars to fix, and, in severe cases, may not be fixable. Keep an eye out for these potential warning signs: • V-shaped cracks (larger at the top than at the bottom) around the perimeter of the house. • Cracks in interior walls near corners of doors or windows. Look at all the corners of windows and doors, and at joints where walls meet walls, ceilings, or doors for signs that they are pulling away from each other. • Doors that stick and squeak. • Leaks and cracks in and around the fireplace. • Obvious cracks in brick and mortar. Piping. Copper piping rarely corrodes and is the plumbing of choice these days, but many older homes have galvanized steel plumbing. After 30 years or so it tends to rust out and leak. Replacing it can cost $5,000 or more, so it's something you'll want to watch out for. Call a plumber if you have specific questions. Flooding. If a house is poorly situated on its lot, flooding can occur under the house, which can seriously damage the home. • In the basement, check for water stains on the foundation indicating flooding during rainy periods. If you find these, call in a soils engineer to confirm the problem and suggest solutions. Unapproved work. All improvements to the property should have been done with permits from the local building de- partment. Work done without permit may be substandard and, if discovered later, may need to be ripped out. • Go down to your local building department and request copies of permits for all work that was done at the property ad- dress. Compare these with any additions or replacements done by the seller. If work was not done by permit, you may ask the seller to obtain permits for the work and bring it up to building-code standards before you purchase. www.CanyonLakeAgents.com 830 905-7100 · firstname.lastname@example.com How much does that home really cost? A $200,000 home costs more than a $185,000 home, right? Well, yes and no. Assuming the same type of financing for both homes, the $200,000 home does cost more initially. But many factors contribute to the overall long-term cost of a house. Here are some things to keep in mind when trying to determine the true cost of purchasing a particular home: • Does it have a pool or hot tub that requires maintenance? • How much yard maintenance is required and who will perform it? • Are there trees that should be removed? • What are the utility costs? Although your usage won't be exactly the same as the current owners, you may be able to get their utility bills for the past year from them or directly from the utility company. • How soon will the roof need to be replaced? • Does the house need repainting? • Does the electrical system need upgrading to handle the load for your appliances and electronics? • Does the home have aluminum wiring, lead-based paint, or other safety or health hazards you will want to ad- dress? • Does the house need new carpeting or flooring? • What remodeling projects do you see as a must? • Will appliances need replacing? What items convey? • What are the estimated property taxes for the property? Also, be sure to get a professional inspection to identify other potentially costly problem areas. www.CanyonLakeAgents.com 830 905-7100 · email@example.com Assess a home's security. Look at every home through the eyes of a burglar! The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that 2.1 million burglaries were committed in 2004. Not all of these situations involved forced entry; many were the result of unlocked doors and windows. Once you close that loophole, though, how can you determine if one house is more vulnerable than another? Well, a residence surrounded by a 15-foot electric fence and patrolled by guard dogs might be a giveaway, but here are some more- subtle ways to judge a house's security. Entrances should be visible and the exterior well-lit. Thieves don't like to be seen. If a home's doors and most-accessible windows are visible from the street or a neighbor's house, they might look for another home. Most homes have outside lights; make sure those lights are po- sitioned correctly. Lighting up the front door and driveway is great, but what about the dark corner of the yard near the living-room window? Use motion-sensor lights in these areas. Exterior doors must be metal or solid-core wood. A particle-board or similarly weak door will break long before most locks give out. All exterior locks should have dead bolts with metal strike plates. Dead bolts alone don't deter burglars. Without a heavy-duty metal strike plate screwed in the door frame to receive the lock, someone could break open the door by busting through the wood. Watch for old sliding-glass doors. Old doors with worn-out rollers can be lifted off the track, bypassing any lock. Any fence gates should have locks. Yes, burglars can climb over most fences, but they risk more exposure by scaling a fence instead of quickly walking through a gate. Look for "painful" landscaping. A good way to discourage a thief from breaking in through a first-floor window is to install a rosebush or other thorn -covered plant under it. You can't keep a determined, professional burglar out of a home. However, you can make it less appealing for him to try. www.CanyonLakeAgents.com 830 905-7100 · firstname.lastname@example.com A Home Inspection is well worth the cost! When buying a home, how do you know what you are getting? Most people probably only think of one or two questions to ask a home inspector: "How much is your fee?" and "When can you be there?" But these only scratch the surface. Here's a list of suggested questions you might ask: • What types of licenses do you hold • What kind of training do you have? • Do you belong to a professional inspectors' association? • How long have you been licensed in Texas? • Are you a full-time home inspector? • How much do you charge? • Do you also perform repairs? (If the answer is yes, that may indi- cate a conflict of interest) • What will the inspection include? (Get specifics. It should include the electrical, heating, and central air-conditioning systems; interior plumbing; visible insulation; roof; walls; ceilings; floors; windows; doors; foundation; basement; and the visible structure of the house.) • Do you inspect gas lines, swimming pools, spas, septic systems, and wells? (You can identify other atypical systems or items.) Do you charge extra for these? • Do you charge extra based on the size of the home? Multiple AC units? Other items? • How much would you charge if I ask for a re-inspection after re- pairs are completed? • Will you supply a written report? (The inspector should.) • Can I attend the inspection? (The home inspection is an opportu- nity for you to learn about your new home and ask questions. If the inspector says no, find another inspector.) • Do you go up on the roof to inspect it? • How long will the inspection typically take? (Anything less than two hours is not long enough for a thorough in- spection.) • Can I call you with questions that come up later? • Can you give me names and phone numbers of three people for whom you've inspected homes recently? The inspector may not inspect swimming pools, wells, septic tanks, and other systems and items, and many inspectors will not conduct environmental tests or wood-destroying insect inspections. You will likely need to arrange for these inspections separately. You can find a blank copy of the standard inspector report form at www.trec.state.tx.us to give you an idea of what may or may not be covered in the inspection. www.CanyonLakeAgents.com 830 905-7100 · firstname.lastname@example.com What questions should I ask a mortgage lender? There is a lot more to the mortgage process than getting a good rate. High costs in fees and poor service can come as very unhappy surprises. Here's a list of suggested ques- tions you might ask a lender: • How large is your company, and how long has it been in business? • Are you a licensed mortgage broker or loan of- ficer in Texas? • Is your company a mortgage banker or a mortgage broker? (A banker lends its own funds; a broker searches mortgage sources and arranges for you to receive financing from the lending entity.) • What is the name, phone number, and e-mail ad- dress of the person who will actually be processing my loan application? How accessible is that person? • Tell me about all loan fees. What fees must I pay up front? What fees will I have to pay at closing? • How can you assure me I won't pay any unnecessary "add-on" fees? • Do the costs you are quoting include the lender origination fee? • Are there loans available with no origination fees? No closing costs? Reduced closing costs? • What are your interest rates? • Is there a fee to lock in my interest rate? How long can I lock in the rate? If interest rates go down, can I relock at the lower rate? If so, will there be a fee for that? • What information must I provide to get a mortgage loan? • What documentation will I have to provide? • Will you require current tax returns? (Take note of this especially between Jan. 1 and April 15 if you haven't pre- pared your return yet.) • How long will it take to get complete and unequivocal loan approval and be ready to close? • I plan to stay in this house for ___ years. Can you show me the breakdown of any ARM loans you offer vs. fixed- rate loans to see which could save me the most money in my situation? • What is private mortgage insurance? Other than a 20% down payment, how can I avoid the private mortgage insurance? • In the last three months, how many loan applications have you taken and how many have you been unable to close? • Can you give me names and phone numbers of two or three people for whom you've funded loans in the last two months? Currently, Texas-licensed mortgage brokers must use the standard Conditional Qualification and Conditional Approval letters when representing that an applicant is prequalified or preapproved for a mortgage loan. Mortgage bankers may be required to do so in the future. www.CanyonLakeAgents.com 830 905-7100 · firstname.lastname@example.com How to secure home financing the smart way. Three elements are crucial to the purchase of a home—the down payment, closing costs, and qualifying for a mortgage. Here is a quick rundown of what you should know: Down payment Typically, conventional lenders will require a 20% down payment, although you may be able to find loans with down payments of as little as 5% (perhaps less in some cases). With down payments less than 20%, you likely will have to pay pri- vate mortgage insurance, which guarantees the lender will be repaid in case of de- fault. Mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and those avail- able to U.S. veterans often require very low down payments. Ask your lender if you can qualify for one of these loans. If you are having trouble coming up with the down payment, here are some tips to ease the burden: • Consider down payment assistance programs. The Texas Department of Hous- ing & Community Affairs offers down payment assistance as well as low-cost mort- gages for first-time buyers. For more information, visit MyFirstTexasHome.org. • Start early. Begin saving for a down payment as soon as possible. After a few years, it adds up. • Ask for a My Community Mortgage. A Fannie Mae product, the My Community Mortgage offers many advantages for buyers, including the ability to use non- traditional forms of credit for loan qualification purposes. • Convert stocks. Consider selling stock for the down payment. The housing mar- ket often is a better investment anyway. • Sell an asset. If you have "toys" such as a boat, extra car, or other asset, con- sider selling it for the down payment. • Borrow from relatives. Today lenders will allow you to use money borrowed from relatives as the down payment. In many cases the relatives do not need to co- sign the mortgage. Check with your lender for restrictions. Closing costs No matter what home you buy, there will be closing costs. These can include: discount points, title insurance, escrow fees, attorney fees, termite report, recording fees, appraisal fees, document preparation fees, notary fees, and a loan underwriting fee. Usually these are due in cash, but sometimes they can be folded into the mortgage. Loan qualification The size of the mortgage you qualify for is based mainly on the interest rate offered and your income. The higher the interest rate, the higher the monthly payment. And, the higher the monthly payment, the more income you will need to qualify for the mortgage. Contacting a lender before you're actually ready to make an offer on a house can be a good idea. This head start gives you a chance to work out any problems that may arise without the pressure of contract deadlines. www.CanyonLakeAgents.com 830 905-7100 · firstname.lastname@example.com . Four ways to fix bad credit. Credit problems can seem like an insurmountable barrier to getting a home loan. It's not an easy task, but with patience and some insight you can turn things around. Here are four ways you can get on the road to credit repair—and put yourself in a better position for homeownership. 1. Develop a budget Stop all credit transactions right now. It might sound harsh, but you should hide or destroy all of your cards if necessary! Now you can manage your inflow of cash and, more importantly, your outflow—money in and money out. Develop a flexible budget. Consider all necessary expenses such as housing, food, and healthcare. Then, eliminate expenses that can be trimmed such as entertainment and dining out. For more help, contact a nonprofit credit counseling agency, such as the TCA at 866/528-0588 or takechargeamerica.org. 2. Contact your creditors If you aren't making timely payments, don't wait for your ac- count to be turned over to collectors. Your creditors may be able to help you get on a lower-interest payment plan or agree to a settlement. A helpful tip: If your balance is unmanageable, offer a 30% set- tlement payment first. Some creditors will take payments of 30%-40% rather than have you default. Make sure to get the agreement in writing. Once you've paid in full, send the settlement letter to each of the credit bureaus (Equifax, Trans Union, and Experian/TRW) for reference so they will update your credit report. 3. Consolidate your debt Another approach to consider is acquiring a debt consolidation loan. This type of loan will allow you to pay off your out- standing balances with one, lower-interest monthly payment. A home equity loan for debt consolidation could allow the in- terest you pay to become tax-deductible. 4. Avoid bankruptcy if you can A last resort is bankruptcy because of its long-lasting effects. Bankruptcy can make it difficult to attain future credit, life in- surance, and sometimes even a job. It does, however, offer a new start. The primary types of personal bankruptcy are Chap- ter 13 and Chapter 7. Chapter 13 allows you to keep property that you would otherwise lose, but pay off a default amount during a three-to five-year period. Chapter 7 (straight bankruptcy) liquidates all of your assets that are not exempt. Property is turned over to creditors or sold by a court-appointed official. Help for homeownership is out there There are lots of programs to help first-time and low-income homeowners, and even those with spotty credit histories who want to realize the American dream of homeownership. One is the Texas First Time Homebuyer Program. For more informa- tion, visit MyFirstTexasHome.org or ask your Texas REALTOR®. www.CanyonLakeAgents.com 830 905-7100 · firstname.lastname@example.com Homeowners insurance: 7 tips for Texans Save on homeowners insurance Here are seven ways to cut the cost of your home insurance from helpinsure.com, a Texas consumer-friendly Internet site: 1. Shop around – and do it early! Check with several different home insurance companies to get rate quotes. (An independent insurance agent can provide rate quotes from a variety of companies.) And definitely do it well before your policy expires, just in case you run into any snags along the way. 2. Raise your deductible The deductible is the amount of money you have to pay toward a loss before your insurance kicks in. Home insurance deductibles usually start around $250. However, if you increase your deductible to: $500, you'll save up to 12% on your premiums $1,000? Save up to 24% $2,500? Save up to 30% $5,000? Save up to 37% 3. Buy your home and auto policies from the same company Many companies will give what's called a "multi-line" discount if you buy both home insurance and auto coverage from them. 4. Don't skimp when buying a home If you're looking at buying a home, think about the cost of insuring the home. A newer home's electrical, heating, and plumbing systems and overall structure are likely to be in better condition than those of an older home – and can lead to a discount on your premiums. 5. Insure your home, not the land While your home and its contents are at risk from fire, theft, windstorms, and other perils, the land your home sits on is not. Don't include the value of the land in deciding how much home insurance you need to buy. 6. Improve security and safety Items such as dead-bolt locks, burglar alarms, and smoke detectors can usually bring discounts of 5% each. Your insurance company may also offer a significant discount of 15% or sometimes even 20% if you install a sophisticated home-security system. 7. Check your policy annually Your policy should reflect the value of your home and belongings. If you review your policy every year, you can easily make the necessary adjustments. If, for example, you just sold a valuable painting, you won't need the same amount of personal property coverage. But if you've added a garage or other addition, you'll need to increase your dwelling coverage. www.CanyonLakeAgents.com 830 905-7100 · email@example.com Avoiding foreclosure: What every homebuyer should know. No one buys a home hoping to get behind on payments and have the bank foreclose on it. Here are a few tips to avoid this problem altogether, and what to do if it does occur. Don't set yourself up for failure There are two main ways to avoid foreclosure: Don't put yourself in a situation where you won't be able to afford your mortgage. Know how much you can really afford before you start shopping for a home and stick to that price range. Of- ten, people over-extend themselves financially when in reality they don't and won't have the means to pay their mortgage payment. Just because the mortgage lender approves you for a loan at a certain amount doesn't mean you can actually afford the payments on that loan. Understand your loan. Many people get into trouble because they don't under- stand their responsibilities regarding their home loan. There are many types of loans where the payments for the first year or first few years are much lower than the amount you will pay in the following years. Talk with your lender about various loans and make sure you understand how much your payment will be at the beginning as well as what your payment might be in the future. What to do if you think you're heading toward foreclosure. Do not be embarrassed. Instead, contact your lender as soon as you're aware that your payment will be late. Also, never ignore your lender's phone calls or letters. If you act uninterested in the fate of your home, your lender will be less willing to work with you in remedying the problem. If you don't want to speak to your lender first, you can contact a HUD-approved counseling agency that will work with you and your lender to negotiate a repayment plan. You can call 800/569-4287 for the counseling agency near- est you. Another source, the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, can help you locate a nonprofit agency that could help you reduce your monthly payments by lowering interest rates or extending repayment periods. Stay away from companies that promise you swift, effortless results by paying them a large fee—this is usually evidence of a scam. You can also speak to your Texas REALTOR®. Your REALTOR® understands the entire home-buying process and can discuss options available to you. www.CanyonLakeAgents.com 830 905-7100 · email@example.com Welcome to Texas! If you just moved to Texas, you'll soon learn plenty about the culture, customs, and history of the state. In the meantime, here are a few items to consider as you get acclimated. Get legal on the road As a new Texas resident, you have 30 days to register your vehicle and get your driver's license. Before you register your vehicle, though, it must pass the state inspection process. In order, here are the three steps to follow: 1. Take your vehicle to a state inspection station. You can find a list of what types of inspections are required in your county and an inspections-station locator at www.txdps.state.tx.us/vi. When you go, make sure you take your driver's license and proof of insurance. If your insurance policy wasn't issued in Texas, you may need to show proof that you carry the minimum coverage required by the state: $20,000 bodily injury or death to one person; $40,000 bodily injury or death to two or more persons; and $15,000 injury or destruction to other prop- erty. 2. When your vehicle passes inspection, the inspection station will give you a verification form to bring to the county tax assessor-collector's office. This is where you obtain a Texas vehicle registration sticker and license plates. You'll need proof of ownership, such as registration or title from your previous home state, as well as proof of insurance. Again, you may need to show that you carry minimum coverage amounts. 3. Apply for a Texas driver's license at the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) office in your area. To find the location nearest you, visit www.txdps.state.tx.us. Bring an ID, proof of Social Security number, proof of liability insurance, and proof of Texas vehicle registration. Expect to provide a thumbprint and surrender any valid out- of-state license you currently have. Register to vote While at the driver's license office, you can register to vote—or you can pick up a voter-registration application from the county voter registrar's office, a library, post office, or from the secretary of state's Web site, www.sos.state.tx.us. The application must be received 30 days before an election to vote in that election. Go online You can find a wealth of information about the state at www.TexasOnline.com. You can also search here for links to Web sites for counties, cities, chambers of commerce, schools, and libraries. If you're looking for answers to ques- tions about state laws, required business licenses, taxes, and more, you may also find that information here. Don't fall for misleading solicitations to file your homestead exemption There is no fee to file a property-tax homestead exemption. You might receive letters, though, on official-looking sta- tionery offering to file your homestead exemption for you for a fee. Even some people who have lived in Texas their entire lives confuse these letters as a form from a state agency requiring a mandatory fee. Don't fall for it. The proc- ess is simple and costs nothing. You can download the application from www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/ taxforms/50-114.pdf, fill out the form, and send it in to your appraisal district.

The Vice-Chancellor of Deakin
University, Professor Jane den Hollander, today announced a new leadership
position to deliver a strategy for the future of the Warrnambool Campus that
will better meet the needs of the Warrnambool community and Deakin.
Late Governor General Sir Zelman Cowen's contribution to founding Australia's strong legal and Jewish communities was honoured in a portrait at the VU law centre that carries his name.
The portrait was unveiled Monday 23 March at the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre (SZCC) by Linda Dessau, who will become Victoria's first female Governor from July.
Sir Zelman was an early mentor to Ms Dessau, who has contributed significantly to Melbourne's legal and arts communities as a family court judge and Trustee of the National Gallery of Victoria.
SZZC Chair and a former Australian Attorney General, The Hon Nicola Roxon said the portrait is an added motivation for the Centre to improve upon the work of its namesake.
"Sir Zelman's belief was that lawyers needed to better understand community issues, while the community needed to better understand the law," Ms Roxon explained.
"This is exactly where the Centre positions itself in providing quality legal training and research, so we hope to build upon Sir Zelman's achievements to support our community today," she said.
The SZCC provides training, research and support to government, judiciary, legal practitioners, court staff and other professions associated with the legal sector. As well as delivering post-graduate and further training courses, the Centre produces commissioned research projects to enhance the sector.
Sir Zelman's portrait was painted by famed Italian-born artist Anna Minardo, whose works have been commissioned by the Vatican and shortlisted for the Archibald Prize. The purchase was made possible by a generous donation from philanthropists John and Pauline Gandel.
Minardo's portrait of Sir Zelman hangs in the turn-of-the-century building that houses the Centre in Melbourne's CBD.
Sir Zelman's widow, Lady Anna Cowen and her family, Rabbi Shimon Cowen, Israel Cowen and Kate Cowen attended the unveiling.

Beginning in 1970, the potential of remote sensing (RS) techniques, coupled with geographical information systems (GIS), to improve our understanding of the epidemiology and control of schistosomiasis in Africa, has steadily grown. In our current review, working definitions of RS, GIS and spatial analysis are given, and applications made to date with RS and GIS for the epidemiology and ecology of schistosomiasis in Africa are summarised. Progress has been made in mapping the prevalence of infection in humans and the distribution of intermediate host snails. More recently, Bayesian geostatistical modelling approaches have been utilized for predicting the prevalence and intensity of infection at different scales. However, a number of challenges remain; hence new research is needed to overcome these limitations. First, greater spatial and temporal resolution seems important to improve risk mapping and understanding of transmission dynamics at the local scale. Second, more realistic risk profiling can be achieved by taking into account information on people's socio-economic status; furthermore, future efforts should incorporate data on domestic access to clean water and adequate sanitation, as well as behavioural and educational issues. Third, high-quality data on intermediate host snail distribution should facilitate validation of infection risk maps and modelling transmission dynamics. Finally, more emphasis should be placed on risk mapping and prediction of multiple species parasitic infections in an effort to integrate disease risk mapping and to enhance the cost-effectiveness of their control.

Cumbrian company part of £400m nuclear deal
Last updated at 08:25, Wednesday, 20 February 2013
BRITAIN'S planned fleet of electricity-producing nuclear reactors could result in a massive business boost for a well-known Cumbrian firm.
Bendalls of Carlisle is among 25 UK companies who recently signed a "memoranda of understanding" with Areva.
The French nuclear giant plans to build what will be the first of the new reactor fleet at Hinkley Point, Somerset. The total value of the work covered by the MOU is £400 million.
If all goes to plan Bendalls will be in line to build pressure vessels for two reactors which Areva and its partner EDF Energy would like to build.
The partners also have plans for Sizewell in Suffolk.
Two potential Hinkley Point obstacles have been overcome.
The Office of Nuclear Regulation has awarded a Hinkley Point site licence to Areva/EDF while regulators have approved the reactor design as safe and environmentally sound.
The development is still subject to planning permission and the partners are expected to make a final investment decision later in the year.
Managing director of Bendalls, Norman Addison, said: "Hinkley Point will be the first of a new generation of UK nuclear power plants but there are still hurdles to overcome before work can start.
"All we can say is that it should be in the next few years and it could be worth tens of millions of pounds.
"Areva were also talking about further opportunities, not only in the UK but also for export.
"The work we have been doing for Sellafield over recent years has increased our capability to a level that enables us to quote for these new new nuclear situations.
"It enhances our capability and quality of manufacture."
The family-founded firm employs 75 staff, including apprentices, and potentially Hinkley Point orders could create new jobs.
Areva's chief operating officer Philippe Knoche said: "We are delighted to take part in the re-birth of the UK nuclear-build industry.
"We are committed to making as much use as possible of the UK's excellent engineering skills and to develop these skills further."

Peter Cushing
The definitive Van Helsing & Dr. Frankenstein!!!
Other classics such as The Hound of the Baskervilles & Star Wars proved that he could do other roles as well.
Like his spiritual brothers Vincent Price & Christopher Lee, Cushing is AWESOME!!!
A god among insects. He and Christopher Lee re-defined the horror genre. YAY!!
Words cannot describe how GREAT this man truly was. Gone, but not forgotten.
YAY. Wonderful performer of the old-school days. He was a wonderful Van Helsing, I would definitely want him as my protector. Who didn't feel comforted whenever he offered his advice in the Dracula films?

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Nov. 15, 1960 R. c. TOMEK 2,960,055
BOAT FENDER Filed Sept. 10, 1958 i a: :jr'
3 51- Z :26 t I: f
l N V E NTO R PUDOLPA c TOMK BY 3 I; I
ATTO R N EYS BOAT FENDER Rudolph C. Tomek, 143 Austin Ave., Tappan, N.Y.
Filed Sept. 10, 1958, Ser. No. 760,199
8 Claims. (Cl. 114-219) My invention relates to a boat fender, and more particularly to a fender for small boats and pleasure craft in general.
Various fenders have heretofore been made; for example, some fenders have been formed of canvas sheaths filled with cork which, when placed in the water, will float horizontally on the surface. Other fenders have been formed of rubber or plastic materials which are inflated and which likewise float on the surface of the water. Inflated fenders when punctured are, of course, practically useless. Another type of fender will hang vertically in the water, but is so constructed that if it falls overboard without an attaching line, it will sink and probably be lost.
It is a general object of my invention to provide an improved form of fender. which will overcome the objections heretofore noted in connection with fenders of the prior art.
It is another object to provide an exceedingly light elongated boat fender which will float upright in the water and which will not sink if it happens to be dropped overboard.
Another object is to provide an improved form of fender made of rubber, plastisol or other like plastic material which is light in weight, not subject to rapid deterioration or fouling and which will immediately right itself when placed in the water, and which will serve as a fender above, at and below the surface of the water.
It is a more specific object to provide an improved form of fender so constructed as to automatically provide and maintain an air pocket for keeping the same afloat and in a generally vertical position.
Other objects and various features of novelty and invention will be hereinafter pointed out or will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
In the drawings, which show for illustrative purposes only, a preferred form of the invention:
Fig. 1 is a view of a boat having one of my improved fenders for fending the same from a float;
Fig. 2 is a view in elevation of a preferred form of boat fender as it will normally float when dropped into the water;
Fig. 3 is a vertical central sectional view through the boat fender shown in Fig. 2.
In the view of Fig. 1 the boat 5 has a fender 6 suspended therefrom and extended down into the water so as to fend the boat from the float, and particularly the submerged portion of the pontoon 7 which supports the float deck. Thus, the particular fender shown in Fig. 1 will fend above, at and below the water-surface.
The improved fender is preferably, though not necessarily, formed of rubberlike material, such as plastisol which may be molded in various shapes and which when cured has about the characteristics of rather stiff yielding rubber so as to form a firm though yielding fender.
The fender itself, in its preferred form, consists of a generally tubular body 8 having at or adjacent the botrnted States Patent 0 2,960,055 Patented Nov. 15, 1960 "ice torn a rather large opening or openings for the ingress or egress of water. In the form shown, there is a single large opening 9 in the bottom of the fender body and there is an integral stiff rim 10 defining the opening 9. The top of the body may be said to be closed, as indicated at 11 and there is an air outlet from the inside of the body at a point below the water surface, but yet in the upper part of the body so that when water enters the fender through the open bottom 9 air will be forced out, but since the top is closed and the air outlet is considerably below the water surface and in the upper part of the body, an air pocket 12 will be formed and maintained. In the form shown, this air egress passage is formed in a reentrant tubular part 13 which extends down, as shown, substantially below the water surface, and yet opens into the body at the upper part thereof. Thus, the air pocket 12 is anannular one formed between the side of the tubular body 8 and the side of the tubular reentrant portion 13.
A securing member is fastened to the fender, and in the form shown, a loop or cord or rope, or the like, 14 has the two ends passed down through the tubular reentrant portion 13- and knotted at the bottom, as indicated at'14', to securely hold the loop in place. The cord ends do not flll the tube 13 by any means and air is free.
to. flow through the. tubular reentrant portion under proper conditions. It is highly desirable to have the bottom of the reentrant tubular portion 13. spaced from the side of the body, as indicated at 15. If the fender be. thrown intothe wateritwill normally land onits side.. Air will rush out of the bottom opening 9 as water will rush in. This action will quickly right the fender and if more water rushes in through the bottom, air passes out through the tubular reentrant portion 13 until the water reaches about to the bottom of the reentrant portion 13. Thereafter little more water can enter because of the trapped air in the air chamber 12. The fender thus will be carried to float upright, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. It will be seen that with the lower end of the reentrant portion, as shown at 15 spaced from the sides of the tubular body 8, the air can never be completely displaced from the body because the bottom sinks as soon as a relatively small amount of water enters the body and there will always be an air pocket 12 left when the Water rises to the point 15 and cuts ofi further air escape.
Thus, if the fender is dropped overboard, it will float and may be recovered. If it is attached to the boat with a slack line, it will still float so that it will act as a fender above, at or below the water surface. A floating fender could be formed by replacing the open air pocket 12 with a light water displacing medium like confined sponge rubber or an inflated sack.
It will be seen that I have provided a very simple form of boat fender. It will be stiff enough to resist ordinary pressures between a boat and a part to be fended and the bottom rim 10 and closed top give the entire body an added stifiness. The plastic material will have long life and will not become easily fouled, and if fouled, may be readily cleaned. The fender will be light because when removed from the water, the water will quickly drain through the bottom 11 leaving only the weight of the shell and the attachments. With all, the fender is a substantial improvement over all of the tenders of the prior art with which I am acquainted.
While the invention has been described in considerable detail and a preferred form shown, it is to be understood that changes may be made within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A fender comprising a generally tubular body member closed at the top and having passage means comprising a hollow stem portion depending from the top of the fender and communicating with the atmosphere for the egress of air leading from the interior of said tubular body below the top thereof, said body having an opening in the lower portion thereof for the ingress and egress of Water, and means at the top of said fender to attach the same to a body to be fended. i 7 ii i 2. A fender comprising a generally tubularbody havlng an opening in a lower portion thereof for the ingress and egress of water, said body having a passage means comprising a hollow stern portion depending from the top of the fender and communicating with the atmosphere for the egress of air opening in the interior of said body at a zone away from the adjacent sides of the body and toward the upper end of the body, said body being closed at the top so as to entrap air in the upper part thereof down to the general zone of the air egress pas sage means.
3. A fender comprising a generally tubular body having passage means in the lower part thereof for the ingress and egress of water, said body having a closed top and a tubular reentrant portion extended inwardly from the top to a zone in the upper part of said body and opening therein at a zone generally equally spaced from the adjacent side of the tubular body, securing means extending into said tubular reentrant portion and secured therein to attach said fender to a member to be fended, said tubular reentrant portion being open sufiiciently for the free passage of air from the interior of said body and whereby air will be trapped in the upper portion of said body between the top and the zone of the inner end of the reentrant portion.
4. A fender comprising a generally tubular body formed of plastic and having an open lower end for ingress and egress of water, said body being closed at the top and having a tubular reentrant portion opening to atmosphere through the top and having an opening into the interior of said tubular body at a zone in the upper part of said body below the top and generally axially of the body so as to be away from the adjacent side thereof, and whereby air will be trapped in the said upper portion of said body beneath the top and down to about the zone of the said opening into the interior of said tubular body,
, to cause said body to float upright.
I and leaving a loop on the outside of said body at the top.
8. A fender comprising a generally tubular body" member closed at the top and having passage means in the lower part for the ingress and egress of water, said body member having air passage means opening into said body member above said first mentioned passage means for the egress of air from said body member, whereby when said body is in water it will fill with water up to about the level of said air passage means and entrap air in the said body above the level of said air passage means, said entrapped air being of a volume to displace water of a weight suificient to buoy said tender and keep the top above water.
