Ponca Tribe of Nebraska Code § 5-6-1, PTN Code § 5-6-1
PTN Code § 5-6-2
Section 5-6-2. Action Upon Filing Complaint
When a complaint is filed in the Tribal Court, it shall be immediately presented to a Tribal Court Judge. This shall be on the date of filing, or, if no judge is present, on the first regular Court day after filing or when a judge may first be found. The Judge shall review the complaint and shall, if it appears to be in compliance with this Code and properly served as set forth in this Code, issue an order of the Court requiring the defendant named in the complaint to appear before the Court on a certain date to contest the complaint. The date for appearance for answering the complaint shall be at the next scheduled Tribal Court day. Upon setting of the date for appearance, the plaintiff shall have defendant served with the complaint and a summons to appear for the court date.
Ponca Tribe of Nebraska Code § 5-6-2, PTN Code § 5-6-2
PTN Code § 5-6-3
Section 5-6-3. Commencement of Proceedings
A. If the tenant appears before the Court in person or in writing to contest the complaint, the Court shall set a hearing date. Any written response shall state any defenses or factual disputes and where any defendant appears in person, a written response shall be served upon the plaintiff within five (5) calendar days of any hearing, excluding weekends and holidays.
B. The Court shall set a hearing date which is no more than fifteen (15) calendar days following the date for appearance, except when the hearing date would fall on a weekend or holiday, and in such a situation on the first regular Court day following that date.
C. A defendant may, for good cause shown, and upon the payment of a reasonable sum for the fair rental value of the premises between the date on which the complaint was filed and the date of hearing, obtain an extension of time, beyond the fifteen (15) day period. The Court may refuse to extend the date of hearing where the complaint is based upon a nuisance but shall not extend the date of hearing where the complaint is based upon conduct which is alleged to constitute a serious danger to public health, safety, or peace.
D. The Court may in its discretion on motion from the landlord order the tenant to pay into the Court rents for the use and occupancy during the pendency of the eviction case.
Ponca Tribe of Nebraska Code § 5-6-3, PTN Code § 5-6-3
PTN Code § 5-6-4
Section 5-6-4. Defenses
The Court shall grant the remedies allowed in this Code, unless it appears by the evidence that:
A. The premises are untenable, uninhabitable, or constitute a situation where there is a constructive eviction of the tenant, in that the premises are in such a condition, due to the fault of the landlord, that they constitute a real and serious hazard to human health and safety and not a mere inconvenience.
B. The landlord has failed or refused to make repairs which are his responsibility after a reasonable demand by a tenant to do so, without good cause, and the repairs are necessary for the reasonable enjoyment of the premises.
C. There are monies due and owing to the tenant because he has been required to make repairs which are the obligation of the landlord and the landlord has failed or refused to make them after a reasonable notice. Such sums may be a complete or partial defense to a complaint for eviction, but only to the extent that such sums set off monies owed for occupancy. A tenant may be evicted after such a period if he fails or refuses to pay the reasonable rental value of the premises.
D. That due to the conduct of the landlord, there is injury to the tenant in such a way that justice requires that relief be modified or denied. This shall include the equitable defenses of estoppel, laches, fraud, misrepresentation, and breaches of serious and material obligations for public health, safety, and peace standards.
E. That there are such serious and material breaches of applicable housing law on the part of the landlord that it would be unjust to grant him a remedy.
F. The landlord is evicting the tenant because of his/her race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, marital status, family status, or because the tenant is disabled.
G. The landlord terminated the tenancy in retaliation for the tenant's attempt to secure his rights under this Code or to force the landlord to comply with his duties under this Code.
H. Any other material or relevant fact the tenant might present that may explain why his eviction is unjust and unfair.

Best I have seen yet
By Terry
from Stockton, CA
My wife is bed ridden. I have to change her bedding at least once a day. These pads (I have 3) are the best I have seen. They do leak a little so I use a sheet of plastic under them. I also use a regular bed sheet on top of them. I would like to coat them back of them with a water proof coating. I don't use the chlorox when washing because my wife does not llike the smell of chlorox.
Best answer to problem, yet
About Me Caregiver, Elderly
I use it for my wife who is in bed 24/7. Although it keeps her pretty dry it does keak a little and I have a sheet of plastic under it. I do not use the Chlorox when I wash it because my wife doesn't like the smell. I have three of the pads and it is the best answer I have found yet.

Editor's Note: The following is the first of a two-part series on the poetry of Columbia City native Bruce Snider.
COLUMBIA CITY — Bruce Snider, a Columbia City Joint High School grad from the class of '89 who currently teaches creative writing at Stanford University, has a new book of published poems called "Paradise, Indiana."
While he no longer lives in Columbia City, Snider said he is thankful to the many teachers who encouraged him to grow in creativity and influence his writing.
"I first wrote poetry in high school, and I feel lucky to have had some amazing writing teachers when I was at Columbia City High School, especially Bob Brittain and Laurel Steill," said Snider. "Before that, I was lucky to work with Frances Stuckey and Pat Janney, both amazing teachers, at Thorncreek Elementary and Middle School."
Snider grew up on Big Cedar Lake at Tri-Lakes, and lived there until he went to college at Indiana University in 1989.
Unlike his brothers, who were serious hunters and fisherman, Snider admits he was a bookish kid, who spent his time inside reading rather than in the woods.
"I'm really grateful for growing up where I did," said Snider. "Ironically, now that I no longer live there, I spend much of my time remembering, imagining and missing Indiana."
Snider earned his MFA in creative writing from the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas at Austin.
"I've taught creative writing at a number of universities, including Stanford, where I currently teach, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of San Francisco, Saint Mary's College in Moraga, Calif. and Connecticut College," said Snider.
Snider's first book of poems, "The Year We Studied Women," was published in 2003, winning the Felix Pollack Poetry Prize from the University of Wisconsin Press. He described this book of poems as an experimentation where he was trying on a lot of different hats, discovering writing techniques.
His second book of poems, "Paradise, Indiana," recently published this year, makes Indiana the center of his creative work as an adult.
"Paradise, Indiana is more mature and focused both stylistically and in terms of subject matter," said Snider.

My sample of Chanel No.5 was gifted to me by a generous Facebook-er and her bottle is from the 50's :)
I admit my review is totally pointless, but it was something I wanted to jot down for myself.
No.5 opens with aldehydes galore, unlike the sterile, soapy aldehydes of Stephen Jones – more the jasmine-laden cleanliness of First. A bright bergamot, ylang ylang and jasmine are the first to appear for me – "floralizing" the aldehydes into something that now smells dated (ironic). It's not quite soap-y, but almost – hyper clean, tainted slightly with the indoles of jasmine and subtle narcotics of the tropical ylang ylang. It's a sterile smelling floral bouquet (at first – and not in a negative way), and whilst still lush – totally refined (as expected).
No.5 is actually relatively linear on me, and because of that I struggle to describe it. After the aldehydes settle and burn off,, diminishing any of the overt cleanliness at the beginning, what's left is something that smells familiar to the opening, with the distorted floral heart of jasmine, a pinch of rose – a faint memory of ylang and a crisper pinch of lily of the valley, sitting in a soft, plush, skin-like layer. There's a touch of powder from iris, giving off a suede-like texture, and a beautiful sandalwood in the base, reminding me of Bois Des Iles which I'm a little more familiar with. It gives No.5 a dry quality without smelling charred or jarring, with hints of butter and even the faintest touch of liqourice. It's perfectly balanced of course, and a classic for a reason, but there is honestly little more I can say about it. At the end of the day, everything has been said about it already – everyone's tried it, and is familiar with it. So this is my very, very brief review on something that I can't impart much more in to. It's wonderful.

The snow stopped on Sunday, but parents delt with the aftermath on Monday as school was out for some Northland students.
Parents in Duluth and Superior had some extra help shoveling Monday morning. Public schools in both cities closed for the day, and students seized the opportunity to enjoy the fresh snowfall.
But the closures can put parents in a bind. The executive director of Chester Bowl made sure the skill hill came to the rescue on Monday.
"I realize that a lot of parents work and they need something for their children to do on days like this. So we offer a good, fun, safe place for kids to come," Thom Storm said.
He said the hill usually opens at 4 p.m., but Storm worked hard to get it open early because of the closures.
"It all worked out and the snow's passed, the hill's in fabulous condition, and I expect we're going to get a big turnout of kids," Storm said.
Most Northland schools were delayed two hours, but the snowfall closed Duluth and Superior public schools.
City crews worked through Sunday night to clear main roads, but side streets were another story.
Administrators said poor conditions on side streets and country roads made it unsafe for buses and students commuting to school.
Parent Kristin Blomquist said it was tough to get out of her driveway, but she still made it to Chester Bowl.
"My road is completely blocked in on both entrances, and I have an all wheel drive vehicle so I made it out fine. But otherwise I would have been stuck. If I had a car I would have been stuck," Blomquist said.
She said the school closure could have been a disaster.
"With five kids at home snow days mean more work. This is a blast so as long as the ski hill's open we love snow days," Blomquist said.
The snow may have stopped the buses, but the kids couldn't wait to carve it up.
Storm expected to have over 100 kids at Chester Bowl on Monday.
Proctor and Hermantown schools were only delayed two hours on Monday.

A construction project on Interstate 540 in the River Valley is underway and on schedule. The next phase affects traffic along the Grand Avenue on and off ramps. The ramps are closing this week but only during the overnight hours.
The closing of the ramps is leaving some drivers and business owners concerned.
The ramps will be closed from midnight until 3 a.m. this Thursday and Friday morning. That's so workers can pave the southbound lanes of the highway.
Navi Sandhu owns a gas station right off the interstate on Grand he said the construction is slamming his business and losing loads of money.
"Around 10 to 12,000 every month," said Sandhu.
Sandhu said he's not sure if his business can take any more construction.
"It's like 12,000 a month dropped like 15 to 18,000 gallons of gas," said Sandhu.
Resident Engineer John Sharum said weather has been a factor with the project.
"We had a rather wet Spring," said Sharum. "That slowed them up from what they originally anticipated so they are not behind schedule but there not as far as they personally want to be."
Sharum said the project is right on schedule and after the construction is over drivers can expect a smoother ride. Some Fort Smith drivers are ready for the construction to end.
"There are some drivers that are just awful and probably shouldn't have a driver's license. Once there's an accident out there, it's a parking lot," said Patrick Lensing.
Lensing drives the interstate overnight. He said he will be adjusting his route because of the ramps closing.
"I'll just have to get off on Kelly and drive a little bit further," said Lensing.
Sharum said even with the rainy weather this spring, contractors expect to have the entire project finished by next summer.
Up-to-date information on lane closures on this and other projects in the state is available at www.arkansashighways.com

By Karen ParrishAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 2013 Nominees for senior positions overseeing the Defense Department's special operations, cost assessment and program evaluation, and the Navy testified today as the Senate Armed Services Committee deliberated their confirmations.
The nominees are Michael D. Lumpkin, for assistant secretary of Defense for special operations and low intensity conflict; Jamie M. Morin, for director of cost assessment and program evaluation, and Dr. Jo Ann Rooney, to be undersecretary of the Navy.
Lumpkin was sworn in April 25, 2011, as the principal deputy assistant secretary for special operations, low-intensity conflict and interdependent capabilities. If confirmed, he will supervise U.S. special operations forces responsible for core tasks including counterterrorism, unconventional warfare, direct action, special reconnaissance, foreign internal defense, civil affairs, information and psychological operations, and counter-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Lumpkin told committee members the position is critical to national defense.
"Succeeding at the tip of the spear requires intensive training, state-of-the-art equipment, speed [and] agility," he said. "Also important [are] the decisive so-called 'soft skills' such as problem solving, relationship building and collaboration."
He said his operational and policy background on senior Pentagon staffs and before that as a Navy SEAL, as well as private-sector experience, have prepared him to serve in the new position.
"If confirmed, I look forward to working with … Congress as a whole to address the national security challenges we face in order to keep America safe, secure and prosperous," he said.
Morin has previously served as assistant Air Force secretary for financial management and comptroller. If confirmed, he will lead staffs responsible for evaluating plans, programs, and budgets in relation to U.S. defense objectives, projected threats, allied contributions, estimated costs and resource constraints.
With no set budget, no continuing funding resolution, and with sequestration's annual across-the-board cuts again looming, "planning in the face of this level of uncertainty is extraordinarily difficult," Morin said.
He added that in what he called uncertain and interesting times, "the American taxpayer has a right to expect that the department will be good stewards of taxpayer resources, that we'll get the most combat capability out of each dollar."
Rooney now serves as principal deputy undersecretary for personnel and readiness. If confirmed as Navy undersecretary, she will assist Navy Secretary Ray Mabus in overseeing recruiting, organizing, supplying, equipping, training, and mobilizing the nation's maritime forces, as well as the construction, outfitting, and repair of naval ships, equipment and facilities.
Rooney noted the government shutdown that began Oct. 1 has impacted the Navy across its military, civilian and contractor workforces.
For sailors, Marines and their families, she said, the impact is strongest in the areas of readiness, morale and family programs.
Among the civilian workforce, Rooney said, "We're starting to lose some of the most-senior people in the department. … And in terms of the contractor workforce, any work stoppages or anything that would slow down the production will go right to that industrial base and jeopardize our ability to keep those contractors engaged and keep those people employed and moving to conclusion in the program."
The next few years will require that Navy leaders focus on people and operational readiness, Rooney said. She listed her priorities as supporting sailors, Marines, civilians and their families, maintaining operational readiness "even in an era of fiscal uncertainty," strengthening the shipbuilding and industrial base; supporting an affordable, sustainable fleet, and ensuring that acquisition processes maintain "the highest level of integrity and accountability."
Her goal if confirmed, she said, is "to ensure that the decisions made and the plans executed over the next few years … [retain] our place as the world's most capable and most versatile expeditionary fighting force."

Ottawa Senators Playing Elsewhere During The Lockout Thread

Just have to say. Seeing Erik Karlsson on ice has been something amazing this season. He is just so good if he is on mood. Freak of nature. To be honest he is kind of too good to be playing in Finland. He brings the puck so easily to the offensive zone and calms the play down. It looks so easy. For being too good I mean he draws so much penalties against him that a lot of fouls against get uncalled. Difference of skill is just sometimes too big. His calmness on blueline is something. And his confidence to make some dekes on blueline.
He is the best offensive D-man I've ever seen live. (Well, he is a Norris trophy winner so no wonder) And he can be excellent at own end too, if he wants. He seems sometimes lazy but if he makes a mistake he will fix it usually and bachcheck lost puck pack.
I've hoped NHL season to begin but now after seeing Karlsson and Filppula dominating I may have changed my mind. Just have to hope Karlsson is staying in Helsinki whole lockout if the season gets cancelled. Sens fans will still have several years to watch Erik at his prime.
This post became one fanboy like but I'm so impressed. The Norris trophy winner, the best.

So do all these upgrades to the tuned 135i make it 'better' than the factory 1M coupe? Read on inside to see how they compare.
GC Automobile, a French racing team which builds silhouette race cars has taken a standard BMW 1M coupe and converted it into a radical looking race car, with a new heart. That new heart is an American Chevy V8 engine tuned by Sodemo Development to produce a maximum output of 550HP.
Here is what we know to be the world's first Monte Carlo Blue 1M coupe. No, it didn't come from the factory this way (although we know many a 1M enthusiast who wishes there was a blue color option in addition to black, white, and valencia orange) as no Individual options were available on the 1Ms.

HK News
August 1, 2014By Rick Horrow and Karla SwatekShelley Sterling has prevailed in a lawsuit over her estranged husband, Donald, opening the way for her to complete a record $2 billion sale of the Los Angeles Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. The NBA Board of Governors is expected to approve the sale by the middle of August. While the Clippers set a record sales price for an NBA team, the NFL is on the brink of its biggest team sale ever. Three groups have submitted initial bids to buy the Buffalo Bills. They are Donald Trump, Sabres owner Terry Pegula, and a group led by singer Jon Bon Jovi. Pegula's opening bid reportedly is worth $1.3 billion, which would already top the current record $1.1 billion Stephen Ross paid for the Miami Dolphins in 2009. Pegula is the frontrunner to buy the team from the estate of Ralph Wilson, not only because he had by far the highest opening offer, but also because he wants to keep the team in Buffalo.

Activist Post
After world opinion categorically denied Wall Street, London, and its NATO forces a replay in Syria of the destruction and pillaging of Libya, with Russia and China leading opposition to a planned escalation and overt NATO military intervention, the corporate-financier media led by CNN (and in particular CIA-asset Anderson Cooper) has conducted a non-stop propaganda campaign based entirely on "activist" say-so centered around the Syrian city of Homs. Journalistic integrity and neutrality have been shamelessly abandoned, evident by CNN headlines reading, "Ruthless Assad rides wave of slaughter."
Every claim is punctuated by "activists say," with passionate pleas for NATO to rain Libya-style death and destruction upon Syria from alleged "activists" on the phone with CNN's Anderson Cooper, "activists" who could just as easily be in the adjacent room at CNN's studio or in London, as in Homs -- since CNN and other corporate-media outlets have categorically failed to provide substantial, verified evidence of their most recent narrative. It is a narrative to dupe the West once again into what is essentially naked military conquest operating behind the tenuous fig leaf of "responsibility to protect" (R2P).
But even at face value, CNN reports "clashes" and features video footage of armed militants waving the "Free Syrian Army" flag while operating armored vehicles and brandishing weapons of war. One could scarcely imagine any Western nation faced with similarly armed militants terrorizing their city streets not responding with full military force, especially with historical examples such as the siege in Waco, Texas where US government forces ruthlessly killed 76 including over 20 children for much lesser crimes than sedition, treason, and openly declared foreign-backed armed-insurrection.
In fact, all the Davidians of Waco, Texas were convicted of were possessing "illegal weapons" and using them when attacked by armed federal agents -- a far cry form the "Free Syrian Army" (FSA) who not only possesses weapons of war, but is demonstratively using them to terrorize and violently overthrow the sovereign government of Syria and forcibly seize populated districts. This includes FSA ultimatums immediately followed up by bombs tearing through civilians in the Syrian capital of Damascus and offensive attacks on security forces.
While the deceit and criminality of NATO's feigned humanitarian campaign in Libya is still fresh in the mind of world opinion, the global corporate-financier elite, paraded round-the-clock on CNN (globalist warmonger Ann-Marie Slaughter being the most paraded), attempt to compare events in Syria instead with "Kosovo," an intervention NATO hopes many are unfamiliar with and will just take their word when it is suggested that it was both "justified" and a "success."
it is confirmed that the very same Libya Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), on record having killed US troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan before returning to Libya to receive full UN, US, and NATO backing to overthrow Qaddafi, are now on the border of Syria operating under the auspices of NATO members including Turkey.
Now, open calls by the same familiar "elected" US representatives such as John McCain and Joe Lieberman, are being made to side-step the global corporate-financier's own contrived international institutions, including the UN Security Council, and unilaterally meddle in Syria's internal conflict well established to have been triggered by foreign-funded "opposition" groups in the first place, by overtly arming and backing a proxy army in Syria.
Just as in Libya, Wall Street and London with or without a UN resolution plan to fully fund, arm, back, and support, first covertly, then overtly with military force a mixture of domestic traitors in Syria's US-funded opposition and foreign mercenaries like Libya's LIFG terror organization to invade and overthrow the government of Syria. This will be done at any cost, just as in Libya, international law will be selectively enforced by the facade that is the UN, just as was done in Libya, until either the West is tactically defeated, or overwhelmed by growing international awareness and anger over the "R2P" racket.

As of August 2013, the average American's credit-card debt totaled $15,263; mortgage debt averaged $147,591; and student loan debt hit $31,646. And many households have all three!
No wonder you report that you're more stressed than you were 10 years ago. Twenty percent of you now say you live with extreme stress daily, and we think the real number is even higher than that.
It's not news that financial woes fuel tension, sleepless nights, relationship problems and depression. But a new report reveals that debt is also linked with higher diastolic blood pressure, that's the second number in a blood pressure reading that tells you the pressure level BETWEEN beats.
We say you should aim for 115/75.
High diastolic pressure signals high-blood-pressure problems. And that can double your risk for heart attack and weaker recovery post-heart-attack; triple the odds for digestive problems and ulcers; and lead to a 10 times higher chance for headaches and migraines.
But you don't have to inflict physical damage on your body because you are under financial pressure, and that's great news, since stress-related health problems can cost a lot in lost work time, doctor and hospital expenses (even with health insurance) and family happiness.
And a great bonus: When you have less stress, you think more clearly, and solutions to many of life's challenges, including financial ones, become more controllable.
1. Stay social
Counteract stress by investing in your social network, and we don't mean digitally. Study after study shows that people with strong relationships deal better with stress, reduce their risk of heart disease, cancer, accidents and all causes of death. So make an effort to stay in touch with friends and family, organize get-togethers, plan day trips. And reach out to help others through volunteering. Acts of generosity and altruism are good for the heart and the spirit (not to mention the brain!).
2. Health a priority
Financial stress doubles the chances that you'll skimp on prescription drugs, medical tests and doctor visits. Ask your doc about lower-cost ways to get the care you need. You'll find free tips at sharecare.com and doctoroz.com to keep your health and weight on track!
3. Face facts
Avoiding tough situations or difficult decisions doesn't make the stress they evoke go away, it amplifies it in the long run! So, identify at least one debt you'd like to stop stressing about, grab the most recent bill and do a little math. Determine what you can do to chip away at it more effectively. And then tell one friend or family member what you're doing. In one study, half of the people who tried this approach were able to stay on track.
4. Eat out less often
It's great for your budget, your waistline and your health! And clearly, if you stay healthy, you'll have less stress, because you won't be worrying about illnesses AND you'll feel more in control of your future (a feeling that chronic debt can steal from you).
5. Don't overspend
Lots of you may hit the mall or outlets when you're feeling down. But that's a recipe for overspending! Dancing with your honey and friends in your living room to your favorite oldies is free. Reading aloud with your spouse or kids is fun and relaxing, and how about a family board-game night?
6. Stress-busting habits
Financial stress increases your risk for obesity by 20 percent and ups the odds for smoking and excess alcohol use.
Dodge those risks with exercise, meditation, breathing exercises, hobbies and making time for fun. They all can reduce levels of stress hormones and dial back anxiety.
If your thoughts keep circling around to your bank balance or the latest unopened bills, try writing down your worries.
Sometimes they don't look so large when you get them down on paper, where you can evaluate them and make an action plan.

An FHA-approved lender is a true asset for either a first time borrower or homeowner looking to refinance .
FHA lenders have access to both conventional and FHA mortgages , ensuring you will get the best possible loan.
One of the best decisions you can make when choosing a lender is making sure you pick one that is an FHA approved lender.
Our FHA lenders will work to find the best possible rate and program to fit your needs whether you are a first time home buyer or a seasoned investor.
FHA Home Lending Advantages
FHA loans are excellent loans that allow borrowers access to some of the best interest rates and most popular programs. Additionally, FHA lenders are typically able to get borrowers who might not be approved for conventional loans into an FHA loan.
Advantages of FHA Lenders:
- Access to both conventional as well as FHA loans
- Able to work with borrowers with less than perfect credit
- Can help with both purchase loans as well as refinancing
FHA loans are mortgages insured by the Federal government, providing lenders with slightly more confidence when lending. This confidence translates to lower interest rates and slightly more lenient requirements; making your decision even easier. Not all mortgage companies can offer FHA loans, so make sure the one you choose does.
FHA Home Lending
Qualifying for a FHA mortgage is much easier than qualifying for a conventional loan through private banks. Most conventional loans expect superb credit, substantial income, and a large down payment. FHA mortgages, on the other hand, do not; it is our job to find the best rates on the market for you and we do that without asking for unreachable qualifications.
When qualifying for an FHA mortgage, a credit score of at least 620 is preferred. Additionally, it is ideal that your credit report does not reflect any more than two thirty-day late marks. Most conventional mortgage companies look for credit scores to be in at least the 700 range. Borrowing with an FHA loan can be of benefit to you if your credit score isn't quite as high and is at least a 620.
Income qualifications are not as strict with an FHA loan as they are with conventional mortgages. Most conventional mortgage loans will not let you exceed 28% of your gross monthly income when determining a monthly payment. This ratio is 30% with an FHA mortgage loan giving you more options if you have a lower income and can't meet the conventional 28%. For example, if your monthly gross income is $5,000, a conventional loan will not lend to you if you monthly payment works out to be higher than $1,400. With an FHA loan, this monthly payment can be as high as $1,500.
Down payments for an FHA loan are far less than conventional loans giving first time home buyers a fighting chance in this tough market. Most conventional mortgage companies want at least 5% of the sales price in down payment whereas an FHA mortgage loan only looks for 3.5% of the sale price. This difference can be the deciding factor when looking to get into your dream home. For a home that is $500,000, the FHA mortgage loans only ask for a down payment of $17,500 whereas a conventional mortgage lender will require at least $25,000. That's a difference of $7,500!
FHA loans allow sellers to contribute double the amount of closing costs assistance than conventional mortgage loans. Conventional mortgages cap sellers' closing cost assistance at $3,000 but an FHA loan will allow you to receive $6,000 in closing cost assistance. Closing costs include a variety of expenses including a loan origination fee, title search fee, prepaid interest, insurances, prorated taxes, etc. This can be a lot for a buyer to handle all at once so the seller closing costs assistance can be a huge help.
These days, buyers can have a fairly high debt-to-income ratio (the amount of debt you have to your monthly gross income) which can discourage conventional lenders from lending to you. However, FHA loans allow up to a 41% debt-to-income ratio whereas conventional mortgage lenders won't allow more than 36%.
To sum it up, FHA mortgage loans look for the following qualifying factors:
- A minimum credit score of 620
- No more than two thirty-day late marks on credit report
- Monthly payments not to exceed 30% of your gross monthly income
- 3.5% of property sale price in down payment
- Debt-to-income ratio not to exceed 41%
- Consistent employment over the past two years
- Steady or increasing income over the past two years
You can get approved for an FHA loan with a credit score of just 620, two years of consistent employment, and with a down payment of as little as 3.5% of the property sale price. Other conventional mortgage loans will ask for a credit score in the 700′s, a lower debt-to-income ratio, and a higher down payment of at least 5%. Sometimes home buyers can't meet these criteria and need more options. Nevertheless, FHA mortgage lenders will work with you until they find a program that meets your situation.

Schools, PTA Sue California Over Education Funding
The Youth and Education Law Project (YELP) of the Mills Legal Clinic at Stanford Law School is co-counsel with Bingham McCutchen in Robles-Wong v. California representing individual plaintiffs, including the named plaintiff Maya Robles-Wong. Under the direction of Professor Bill Koski, the Youth and Education Law Project provides Stanford Law students the opportunity to represent youth and families in special education and school discipline matters, community outreach and education, school reform litigation, policy research, and legal advocacy.
The San Jose Mercury News ran this coverage:
In a case that could radically change how and how much California pays for public schools, a coalition including students, school officials and the state PTA filed suit Thursday to force increased education funding.
The suit, which asks the courts to scrap the financing system and direct the governor and Legislature to create one that is "sound, stable and sufficient," contends that Sacramento's complicated way of funding public education violates the state constitution. The suit could prove to be California's most far-reaching school litigation in decades.

The main concern: How to keep kids from ever trying illegal substances, and when they do, how to handle it.
Fremont police DARE. Officer Roger Oddo kicked off the night with a short education on what law enforcement officers are seeing in Sandusky County.
Among teens, ecstasy and marijuana aren't uncommon.
Among adults, heroin.
For support finding addiction counseling call the Prevention Partnership of Sandusky County for information at 419-334-6395 or visit alwayschoosehealth.com.
In 2012, Sandusky County coroner John Wukie said there were 14 drug-related deaths — not counting those caused by motor vehicle collisions that may have been caused by people under the influence.
That's double the number there were in 2011, he said.
Herion use and prescription drug abuse are on the rise everywhere in Ohio, a trend recognized in nearly every community.

So what's a parent to do?
Panel officials were in agreement: Be engaged in your children's lives.
"My view from the bench has shown me that sometimes, we make this more difficult than it actually is," Sandusky County Juvenile Judge Brad Smith said.
"Parents are oblivious. They feel it couldn't happen to their child," he said. "The kids are making their drug deals in all those technological ways that parents should have access to."
Monitor their cell phones. Check facebook and email.
But what if you're invading their privacy?
"That's nonsense," Smith said. "They're kids. You're the adult. Don't be oblivious to the obvious stuff right in front of you."
And if it happens anyway, for anyone suffering from addiction or with a family member suffering from addiction, while there are limited resources for treatment, there are coalitions in nearly every community to offer support.

Missouri Pacific #750 Parlor-Observation Car
The cosmetic restoration of this Parlor-Observation Car has enhanced Museum patrons' visits and educates the public on the streamlined passenger era.
For twenty years this car brought
up the rear of the Missouri Pacific Railroad's famous "Missouri
River Eagle" passenger
train. Manufactured in 1940 by American Car & Foundry, this car boasted
air conditioning, a public address system, a private dining room, individual
reclining seats and an enclosed observation room instead of the traditional
open observation platform.
|You can see the American Car Foundry (ACF) assembly
plant in
St. Charles, Missouri in the background.
While this car was in regular service it was frequently used by then-Senator Harry S Truman who traveled by train from his home in Independence, MO to Washington, D.C. It was donated to the Museum of Transportation by the Missouri Pacific Railroad when it was retired in 1963.
As an interesting side note it was Raymond Loewy, the famous industrial engineer that came up with the blue and cream Eagle passenger color scheme that brought color to the Missouri Pacific rails.
It was determined to cosmetically restore this car because of its significance on several historic levels.
- Because of its connection with Senator Harry S. Truman.
- It had great significance in the streamlined passenger era.
- This car has significance in both local and regional transportation history.
We Thank the Donors who have made this project possible
Union Pacific Foundation, Missouri Pacific Historical Society,
NRHS, and Gaylord Foundation.
Restoration Efforts Completed by our Volunteers
The MoPac #750 has had its paint removed, interior
stripped, seats removed, vestibule and rollover steps rebuilt, the car
has been rewired, body repairs done and a gasket system has been identified
for the windows.
Dismantling the interior.

If there's one Indian site that has been executing exceptionally well since the Web 1.0 days, its undoubtedly MouthShut.com. Since inception, they've constantly innovated and evolved and over time, have amassed a huge,huge number of user generated reviews. Not to mention the strong community that has developed on the site. Never mind if they dont get as many blog mentions as some of the more newer startups.
So, why should someone buy MouthShut ?
As per a recent survey by Nielsen, 73% of Internet accessing Indians trust online user reviews over other means of advertising. That is more than advertising on TV, radio, magazines and search engine / online banner ads. Considering that MouthShut is the main (and probably only) consumer reviews site for the Indian subcontinent, you can only imagine how much influence it yields on the average, online, Indian user.
So, who should buy MouthShut ?
Amongst the international players, I'd say Yahoo, MSN, eBay and AOL. Yahoo has always been a proponent of community building, but considering the recent turmoil surrounding Yahoo, I'd say they have other things on their mind. MSN and AOL are both laggards when it comes to their Indian presence. Buying MouthShut would give them a good boost in terms of traffic, community and a decent competitive edge over Google and Yahoo. Of course, buying MouthShut would make the most sense for eBay, since MouthShut strategically fits very well into Shopping.com, the reviews site owned by eBay.
Amongst the home grown portals, I'd say HT Media should seriously consider it – they've been lagging the other Indian portals as far as their online strategy goes. Since they're playing catch up, they might as well consider growing inorganically.
I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Jeff Vermeulen, executive director of the J.D. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship, and Brianna Boyer
Published on Monday, December 03, 2012
York College students with an idea for a new business had three minutes or less to pitch their concepts to judges during the J.D. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship's second Elevator Pitch Competition. The winners – assessed by a panel of successful business men and women on innovativeness, potential commercial impact and effectiveness of presentation – were awarded with cash and an opportunity for workspace in the Center to help bring their businesses to fruition.
Brianna Boyer, a first-year entrepreneurship major from Shrewsbury, won first place with her idea: a retain/mouthguard caddy. "It has a soft plastic case that can have any chosen design on it and offers an antiseptic strip inside to keep the mouthguard and retainer fresh," she said. "The possibility of marketing could be with orthodontists, in drug stores, marketing by companies like Listerine or Johnson & Johnson, or in sporting goods stores."
Matthew Caldwell, a first-year entrepreneurship major from Kennett Square, took second place with DCV Webstore, LLC, a group of e-tail stores. DCV Webstores run webstores in three major industries: furniture, sports, and fitness, according to Caldwell.
Anthony Gulino, a junior entrepreneurship major from Ridge, N.Y., and collaborator Kyle Williams, a sophomore computer information systems major from Broomall, presented their idea – using cloud-based computing to give real-time data on heavy equipment and fleet vehicle diagnostics – and received third place. Data like lifetime fuel consumption, vehicle idle times and vehicle error codes would be extracted from the vehicle, transmitted to remote servers, and stored until needed. The system would be able to send notifications to smartphones via apps or even standard cell phones via text message, according to the pair.
"Our Elevator Pitch Competition is a key component of our vision to create a campuswide culture of entrepreneurship here at York College," said Jeff Vermeulen, executive director of the J.D. Brown Center. "We'll be working with the winners to bring their ideas to fruition, or with Matthew Caldwell and DCV Webstores to help take his existing business to the next level."

Sunbasque is a peach-pink colour with a hint of gold. A little goes a long way with this colour, and only a slight dusting on the cheeks will provide you with a beautiful glow. This blush looks slightly bronze in the pan, however on the skin it provides the cheeks with a natural sunkissed glow rather than a bronze look, as a the peachy-pink is very apparent and the shade's true colour. It is a high quality brush and perfect for summer time when you have a bit of a tan (though I do wear this in winter too, on days where my skin is looking a bit dull). This is a fun, good quality blush and as you only need a little for the colour to show up, it should last a very long time.

This is a warm peach pink colour with hinge of bronze in it. It is very shimmery in a right way that it gives a nice GLOW to your cheeks without any chunky flecks of glitter. it just blends beautifully into the skin. Alone it would be too much of a dark peach pink on my skin tone so i like to mix it with my bronzer to lighten and also make it look softer for my skin tone.
Didn't break me out. Last the whole day for 12 hours on me as well, super impressed

This was my first ever MAC blusher. After getting so many compliments from using my friends one I bought my own! I am NC44 in MAC and this shade just makes me look so dewy and glowy and makes my tanned skin look so much nicer! Its like bronzer and blusher together. I have had this blusher for 6 years and I've still got the same pot! Lasts ages and with regular use as well. Its very shimmery and the past year I've been suffering from enlarged pores and now the shimmer seems to emphasise them more so I have gone off it a bit, but its deffo a beautiful colour, especially on all you tanned ladies out there!

I am an NC20 and this blush is my go to! It provides a warm glow, however I would not describe this as 'bronze' on me it definitely shows up as a blush. The colour payoff is great, just a small amount on the apples of my cheeks wakes up and brightens my complexion, leaving me feeling confident. It definitely wakes up the complexion. The blush has shimmer however it does not look frosty or glittery on the cheeks. On my complexion it looks very natural. This blush is definitely a staple in my makeup kit. I would recommend it to all people with warm undertones in their skin. :)

Oh, Sunbasque. This is a lovely peachy, bronzy, blush from MAC and the formula is Sheertone Shimmer. This, of course, does have a large amount of shimmer. This blush applies evenly and blends well. I like that this tends to not look too bronzey, but more peachy on my skin. Whenever I wear this, I get compliments on how glowy my skin looks. I like to pair this with Melba blush to add more of a pop of color. Typically this blush wears about 6 hours on me (as most MAC blushes do) and I also like that this looks freshly applied if I do need to touch up later in the day. There does appear to be some orange in this blush, but it doesn't make my skin look over-bronzed or orange. It's a great MAC blush to add to your collection and works with pink and peach blushes. I'd purchase again (I actually use this so often that I'm close to hitting pan!)

So I've waited for weeks to get it (and I'm so annoyed with myself for that),
it's the very BEST blush from Mac.
Reviews that go like 'oh, you got Margin, don't buy Sunbasque 'cause it's
like the same thing' are so wrong, really.
I was also swayed by pics online, but it doesn't look like this in real life (obviously :D).
First of all Margin is a Frost finish and Sunbasque Sheertone Shimmer,
Margin is pinkier, Sunbasque is peachy-gold-bronzy, and swatched side
by side on my arm they look nothing alike, it's crazy, but don't go round this gem
just because you got Margin, they're soo different, and I can't believe how I
raved about Margin, but after trying Sunbasque, I probably won't use Margin
as much, if you struggle between these two overall, go for Sunbasque
and you won't be dissapointed! :)

Just like I do each and every week for some binge eating newsletter inspiration, I was looking through past binge eating journals. One that I came across was titled, "What Will I Do Once I'm Healthy".
Here are some things on my list:
- Take a belly dancing class
- Tuck in my shirt
- Go shopping like I used to and grab things off the rack without worrying whether or not they'll fit
- Wear shorts & dresses without worrying about my legs
- Wear tank tops without worrying about my arms
- Take a pole dancing class
- Buy clothes that fit me well and look great
- Run a marathon
- Participate in things instead of being afraid of looking stupid or not being able to do something because of my weight.
- Feel good in a bathing suit
- Find cute clothes in a boutique where they usually only have small sizes
- I want to be out in public without having to be thinking about sucking in my belly to make the fat rolls disappear from other people's sight.
- I want to feel healthy and careless
- Take a ballet class
Just last night, I took my first-ever pole dancing class with some of my girl friends. It was so fun and I wondered to myself why I hadn't tried doing this before. I'm sure you can think of a lot of things that you want to do, but feel you can't because you have binge eating disorder.
The thing is, binge eating disorder obviously affects your weight, but it also affects your self-esteem. It makes you immediately have an excuse as to why you can't try something new.
"I'm not good enough."
"I'll look stupid."
"Everyone will be in shape."
"I won't be able to do it."
"I'll be the largest person there."
"I don't deserve to do xyz."
There are always excuses as to why you shouldn't do something… and excuses get in the way of you living your life. Who says you can't try something new just because you have binge eating disorder? Tell yourself that you can and you should!
Even last night, before the pole dancing class, I thought to myself, "What if everyone is so toned and in shape that I stick out and look stupid?" and then I realized that I was being stupid. Who cares if someone is more toned than I am. What does it really matter? There will always be someone more toned than I am and that's okay.
What matters is that I was out trying something new. I wasn't sitting on the couch watching television. I was out there and I get an "E" for effort for at least getting out there.
I used to think of a saying when I first got into running. I was always embarrassed because I jogged so slow and wondered if people in their cars or running were judging me in their head. And then I started thinking… Who cares if I'm slow? I'm lapping the person sitting on the couch or driving in their car.
And it's true. I was lapping them, no matter how slow I was jogging.
You can't measure yourself by the fact that you don't have a healthy relationship with food. It's not who you are and it certainly does not define you. Same goes for other people. Don't think about what they might say or not say. Just focus on you. Focus on trying something new and being proud of yourself. Focus on getting off of the couch. Remember that every great person started out as a beginner too.
And for the record, when I got to pole dancing class last night, I had fun. I never once thought about how the girl in front of me might be laughing at me because I couldn't get my spin. She wasn't focused on me; she was busy trying to get her moves down.
So I encourage you to start checking things off of your "when I get healthy, I will…" list.
Start living in the present and trying new things now!

text: Hi Everyone! I was recently diagnosed with mild lupus. I am currently taking Plaquenil. I can't really tell if it is helping or not. I think it is. However, apparently lupus flares up so, I don't know if I'm not having a flare up or if my meds are working. I had a feeling that I had lupus before I was diagnosed by the Rheumatologist. I had a specked ANA pattern and my titer was 1:32. I didn't know much about lupus and was scared to death. After I was diagnosed with mild lupus, I got depressed. I had a lot of other things going on too. Then, I think due to my depression and my crankiness, my boyfriend left me. It seemed that everything was happening at once. But, I feel better now. I have started on antidepressants. I still have joint pain but, it doesn't seem as bad (at least at the moment). I have also accepted that I have lupus. I want to live my life. So, I do whatever needs to be done, even when I am in pain.
