Italian club still pursuing Kobe; offer is 1 yr, $5 mil
Kobe Bryant hasn't made it clear whether he will accept the multimillion dollar offer from Virtus Bologna to play in Italy, but the club has clarified that its top offer to the Lakers star isn't as rich as first reported.
Virtus Bologna currently has a one-year deal worth $5 million on the table and is hoping Bryant agrees to the deal before he arrives in Italy this week for a sponsor tour. The deal reportedly includes an opt-out in case the NBA lockout is settled.
"An Italian brand well known around the world" is prepared to provide cash for the deal, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press on Monday.
The company is believed to be different than Bologna's main sponsor, Canadian Solar.
The unnamed source said other offers include a two-month deal worth nearly $2 million, a one-month contract for $1.3 million or $900,000 for only one game.

As the debate over teacher accountability continues to simmer, a new study has delivered important findings sure to bring discussions to a proverbial boiling point. In essence the authors found that good teachers really, really matter, and can have long-term effects on the lives and successes of their students.
According to the New York Times,the study spent 20 years tracking 2.5 million students (grades 3 through 8) in a large urban school district. Authors Raj Chetty and John N. Friedman of Harvard and Jonah E. Rockoff of Columbia, all economists, had two basic questions to guide their research:
First, do test-based measurements of teacher accountability (known to education reformers as 'value-added') accurately illustrate teachers' impact on students? And second, according the study's executive summary, "do high value-added teachers improve their students' long-term outcomes?"
The research seemed to deliver a resounding 'yes' to both questions. "It turns out that the effects of high value-added teachers in grade school continued to reverberate into adulthood," Slate reported. Students who spent even one year in grade school in the classroom of a teacher in the top 25 percent of the district were more likely to attend college (and a better college), less likely to be a teenage mother and ultimately earned a higher income as an adult.
The authors concluded that, "Teachers' impacts on students are substantial. Replacing a teacher whose true (value-added) is in the bottom 5 percent with a teacher of average quality would generate lifetime earnings gains worth more than $250,000 for the average classroom."
The researchers' method is intended to show a student's improvement on a standardized test after one year with one teacher. It also seeks to control for outside factors, thus determining what contribution that particular teacher added to that particular student's education, background notwithstanding.
Significantly, teachers who improved test scores in one school consistently outperformed their peers when moved to another. The researchers found that "the arrival of a high value-added teacher resulted in a noticeable bump up in student performance at the new school, and a significant drop in student test scores at the school she had just left," Slate reported.
These findings may dissuade some of the critics of the value-added system of evaluation, who argue that bumps in test scores could be the result of environmental or economic factors that do not reflect teacher quality.
Both findings of the study, the Times reported, are "likely to influence the roiling national debates about the importance of quality teachers and how best to measure that quality."
However, the authors of the study do not claim to have found that perfect method of measurement. And even though their results illustrate a teacher's effect on student achievement, that does not necessarily mean that the method should determine how teachers are hired, fired or compensated.
The problem with overtly encouraging value-added evaluations, the researchers caution, is that teachers may turn to undesirable methods to achieve results — "teaching to the test," for example, or even cheating to boost scores.
"Nevertheless," concluded the authors, "it is clear that improving the quality of teachers — whether using value-added or other tools — is likely to have large economic and social returns."

Apparently the "Do What U Want" performance by Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera on the season finale of The Voice wasn't just a one off thing. Over the holiday, a remix of the song featuring X-Tina hit and of course I've got it for you!
I was wondering why Christina had her own lyrics when she performed with Gaga, but guess it only made sense. This version is cool, but I definitely prefer the original version better. The random combination of R. Kelly and Lady Gaga really clicked on it, this version is cool though! What do you think of the remix? Hit the comments and let me know!

Mix: MP3Tunes.com, iPod scuffle, Made for iPod, giant shuffles
MP3.com founder Michael Robertson will launch a new online music store next week that will offer tracks in unprotected MP3 format. MP3Tunes.com will have no major record labels—only 200,000 licensed from small labels and independent artists.
Nitrozac and Snaggy of Geek Culture poke a little fun at the iPod shuffle shortage in their latest Joy of Tech comic entitled "iPod scuffle."
Apple's "Made for iPod" program is "a good way to ensure good quality products," according to 39 percent of Macworld UK readers who took part in an online survey. Nearl 25 percent are less optimistic, suggesting that it is "a way to control the iPod industry."
Gizmodo points to a handful of strange scenes with life-size iPod shuffles hanging out in a home. "I don't know what prompted these photoshops of a giant iPod shuffle in everyday situations, but they aren't half bad, and just surreal enough to be pleasant."

| I'll just call you Clank for short!
"Ratchet's ship" is not the subject's real name. The real name is unknown, and a canonical nickname or title which is mentioned in the series is used instead, as deemed the most appropriate title.
- For other uses, see Ratchet's ship (disambiguation).
Ratchet's ship was a homemade design that Ratchet built on his homeplanet Veldin from pieces of scrap. Without the use of a robotic ignition system; however, the ship remained immobile.
When Clank crashlanded on the Kyzil Plateau, Ratchet finally got his ship to take off. However, he promptly crash-landed it on Novalis, and was forced to find a new one.
- According to concept art unlockable in the first game, Ratchet's ship was supposed to be a "real homemade job held together by gum and rubber bands." According to the concept art description, it is not clear why Ratchet crash-landed the ship so early on in the game.

Audi Sport just finished a test at Monza and we're finding photos and video popping up online depicting the event. First up (as seen above) are photos from the Balang Project blog.
The blog has a whole collection of shots in addition to the one above and in them you can clearly see some changes in the car's design. First and foremost is the side window design and maybe even driver position
In case you haven't satiated your hunger for more information about the R18 e-tron quattro, we've just uploaded a few more assets including more photos from the live event and two videos provided by Audi on our YouTube channel Fourtitube. The videos share similar content, with the first an edited and narrated shorter version. The
As part of today's launch materials, Audi has released this footage of the R18 e-tron quattro in test car black carbon livery rounding the track. If you want a better feel for the car including the look and sound of the thing, watch below.
Also check out the press release and photos via these links.
Audi recently held the launch for its Euro only Audi A1 quattro in the remote icy climate of northern Sweden. Perfectly suited for the this limited production A1 fitted with quattro all-wheel drive, photos from the launch alone seem to tell the story. Interested in viewing, reading or watching more? EVO is one of the first to file a report including more photos, video and driving impressions.

Earlier today Fourtitude published PR photos and a press release issued by Audi Sport about a test this week in Sebring of Audi's 2012 LMP1 conspicuously not referred to as "R18" . Since that time, many websites have begun analysis and/or speculation. Here's a quick summary, including some of our own intel on this subject summarized
As the iconic Ur quattro becomes more and more rare... at least the nicely preserved ones... the prices seem to be moving healthily northward. Take for example this 107,000 mile Titan Red example we've located in Everett Washington. At a listed price of $25,888, this is one of the more expensive specimens we've seen, but it's not in the stratosphere and if it is well-preserved then the number is certainly fair. From photos,
Only really sold in any number (and small numbers at that) for two model years in the USA, the Ur quattro isn't exactly what you'd call common. Finding any example, much less a clean one has become increasingly hard for American fans of Audi's rallying icon. And when it comes to modified ones, ideas of proper upgrades can certainly vary. All that being said, we think we've stumbled across a modified example that most will agree qualifies
Earlier this week Audi revealed the A1 clubsport quattro, a lightweight 503 hp all-wheel drive take on its compact segment hatchback. Since then the car's been an unbridled success, garnering coverage across all sorts of automotive media. The A1 clubsport quattro concept is interesting to us on a number of levels.
There's a lot to love about the 5-cylinder TFSI Audi A1 clubsport quattro. We can think of at least 504 reasons. 503 of those might just be the 503 horses residing under the car's hood and at least one more is the cool A4 DTM-inspired side exit exhaust that may not be good for long-term paint maintenance aft the outlets but who cares... it's a concept.
So we're betting,

An NRL investigation has reportedly revealed that a number of players are involved in betting on matches.
The findings by the games integrity unit were laid out to several clubs yesterday, and a number of players are now believed to be facing sanctions, The Weekend Australian reports.
NRL rules forbid any player, player manager, club employee or game official from taking part in gambling in relation to rugby league.
The newspaper said it was unclear how many clubs or players were involved, but that the investigation had involved multiple players and multiple teams.
The investigation was reportedly launched after the NRL and its betting partners conducted a review of gambling within the code.

The current account deficit narrowed to $2.5 billion for the September quarter, but the annual deficit remains near levels that would cause concern for international investors.
The September quarter deficit was better than the shortfall of $2.8b in the June quarter.
The fall in profits earned by foreign companies was partly offset by a rise in insurance premiums paid overseas, with international insurance payments up $84 million in the latest three month period.
The annual current account balance was a deficit of $9.9b (4.7 per cent of GDP) for the September 2012 year. This compares with a deficit of $8.8b (4.3 per cent of GDP) for the September 2011 year.
The annual deficit was 4.8 per cent for the year ended June.
A deficit above 5 per cent of GDP is typically seen as reaching worrying levels for international investors.
The New Zealand dollar was unmoved by the deficit figures, trading about US84.1c. The currency was down from US84.5c a day ago.
The current account measures New Zealand's transactions with the rest of the world. A current account deficit means that the rest of the world earned more from New Zealand than New Zealand earned from overseas.
The smaller deficit this quarter was mainly due to a fall in profits earned by foreign-owned companies in New Zealand. These profits can be reinvested in New Zealand, or returned overseas as dividends.
"Although foreign-owned companies earned less in New Zealand this quarter, over $1b was still reinvested in New Zealand, the third quarter in a row that reinvested earnings have been at this level," balance of payments manager John Morris said.
A rise in insurance premiums partly offset the fall in profits earned by overseas-owned companies in the September 2012 quarter. Some insurance policies were renewed at higher premiums, which caused international insurance payments to increase by $84m this quarter.
New Zealand's net international liability position was $148.4b, equal to 71.2 per cent of GDP, almost unchanged from the June quarter.

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

The answer for business owners in California. Move to states like Texas and
Utah where they are wanted, appreciated, and won't be taxed and regulated to
California is a classic example of liberals who think they can can keep coming back to the trough for more money to throw away. California's day of reckoning is coming quicker than they think.

Just one more example of the failure of socialism at any government level! Greece, Spain, England and France, are other recent examples! They are, by necessity running away from socialism but the left are slow learners in America! How bad does it have to get before liberals will learn that socialism cannot be successful, never has been successful and never will be successful? It removes all incentives for individual success, creates dependancy and stifles creativiy and invention! It is the opposite of free agency and self reliance, just another subtle form of slavery!

The basic premise of this amusing short was that this Hollywood
producer's brother is in the hospital, with not much time left to live,
and he goes to his bedside, not to say goodbye, but to get the final
script his brother wrote, since his brother is such a talented writer.
This film was the last short after watching shorts for 3 hours, but it was a good enough project that it caught everyone's interest and engaged everyone's attention. The ending was a little predictable, but it was executed flawlessly. This was definitely one of the most professional shorts I saw - the audio didn't hiss or peak, the video was crisp and clear, the acting was very good, the camera work was right on and the set dressing was great (not sure whether they actually used a real hospital or not). Overall a highly recommended short.

Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn Resigns
Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn steps down after nearly three years at the helm. Best Buy says it was a mutual decision.
Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn has resigned, the big-box retailer announced. Best Buy says the decision was a mutual agreement and there were no disagreements with Dunn about operations, financial controls, policies or procedures.
G. Mike Mikan, a Best Buy director since April 2008, has been named interim CEO while a search for a new CEO is underway.
"I have enjoyed every one of my 28 years with this company, and I leave it today in position for a strong future," said Dunn, who was named CEO in June of 2009. "I am proud of my fellow employees and I wish them the best."
Related: 10 Failed Electronics Retailers
The announcement comes less than two weeks after Best Buy announced a restructuring plan following a $1.7 billion loss for its fiscal fourth quarter. Best Buy said it will close 50 of its big-box stores in the United States and lay off 400 employees to help cut $800 million in costs by fiscal 2015.
Following that announcement, a "mini-tender" offer was made by TRC Capital to purchase 1.7% of Best Buy stock for 4.1% less than the market value of the shares. Best Buy yesterday urged shareholders to reject the offer.
Best Buy founder Richard Schulze will keep his role as chairman.
Shares were up 3.1 percent this morning on heavy volume after the news, according to the Wall Street Journal. However, the stock is now dropping dramatically.

Mumbai police raid Gurunath Meiyappan`s residence
Chennai: A Mumbai police team Sunday raided the house of Gurunath Meiyappan, the team principal of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and son-in-law of Indian cricket board`s chief N.Srinivasan.
A Mumbai court Saturday sent Meiyappan to police custody till May 29 in connection with the raging spot fixing scam in Indian cricket.
On May 23, a Mumbai police team served summons on Meiyappan at his residence in connection with the spot fixing controversy. Meiyappan was in Kodaikanal at that time and the summons was received by his staff on his behalf.
Meiyappan has been linked to Bollywood actor Vindoo Dara Singh, arrested earlier for links with bookies who are accused of manipulating IPL matches using inside information from tainted players and others.
Trying to ring fence CSK from the risk of its licence getting terminated, India Cements Ltd on May 24 issued a statement that Meiyappan is not the owner/CEO/team principal of IPL franchise, ostensibly to distance CSK from him and his actions.
However, the company did not issue any such statements when the media for the past several years called him the "team principal" or the owner of CSK.
Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) suspended Meiyappan from any involvement in the sport of cricket and in particular form any involvement with the CSK team, pending further investigation.

Chemical Allergies: Shampoo, Cleaners, and More
In this article
That moisturizer your friends swear by left your face red and scaly. The cleaner you've been using for years to make your bathroom sparkle made your hands itch and burn.
For some people, the chemicals in shampoos, cosmetics, and detergents can trigger allergic skin reactions.

Lighten Your Child's Allergy Load
Coughing, sneezing, itching, wheezing -- kids with allergies face a lot of miserable symptoms. And, your child's triggers may change over time. Sudden weather changes also can make symptoms flare. Learn what triggers your child's allergies now, at least, and get serious about avoiding them. These tips can help you improve your child's breathing and quality of life.

Read the Lighten Your Child's Allergy Load article > >
These reactions -- what your doctor calls allergic contact dermatitis -- happen when your immune system overreacts to chemicals that are normally harmless. They can be in products you're exposed to over and over, like cleaners, colognes, hair dyes, and personal care items.
Even if you've used them before, you can still have a reaction.
Cosmetics and personal care products have a lot of potential allergens, things you could be allergic to:
- Fragrances in soaps, colognes, deodorants, body creams, cosmetics, detergents, and tissues
- Preservatives and antibacterials, added to many liquids to keep them from spoiling
- Substances added to thicken, color, or lubricate a product
- Chemicals in permanent hair dyes and other hair products
- Formaldehyde resin, an ingredient in many nail care products
- Sunscreens, often found in cosmetic moisturizers, lip balms, and foundations
Your skin is one of the first places where the warning signs can show up. They often appear 24 to 48 hours later, but can start as late as a week after you come in contact with the irritating chemical.
Each person may have different chemical allergy symptoms. Some of the most common are:
- Red skin
- Scaly patches
- Blisters that ooze
- Burning or itching, which may be intense
- Swelling of the eyes, face, and genital area
- Hives
- Sun sensitivity
- Darkened, "leathery," and cracked skin
The symptoms tend to be worst where you touched the thing you're allergic to. If you get the allergen on your finger and then touch another part of your body, like your face or neck, you can set off an allergic reaction there.
Other conditions can cause similar symptoms, so see your doctor to find out what the problem is.
Often your doctor may be able to diagnose your allergy by doing a physical exam and asking you about your symptoms.

I have been running around searching driftwood that could fit this project, at the end I had to use a knife and carve it to a smaller size, then polish whit sandpaper... I have a other piece of driftwood that is 5 cm tall whitout any carving, I can paint a owl on that aswell if wanted a other choice ;)
The painting I have worked whit on quite a few hours puh :D Now it needs a hole and some laque... What do you think?? What do you think Lynn ??

A Challenging Menu
A Challenging Menu
By Walt Raleigh
The holiday season is at our throats again, as Dorothy Parker either once said or should have, and this month, I'm talking about cooking for crowds with special dietary needs.
When you've got diabetes, finding the right things to eat can be a challenge. I do the day-to-day cooking in the Raleigh household, and Mrs. Raleigh has happily adapted to my food requirements, though not a diabetic herself; this kind of loving support is one of the reasons I'm very glad I married her.
But when you're cooking for a crowd, it's harder.
Around the Raleigh Thanksgiving table this year, there were ten people.
Among our number were: a strict vegan (no meat or dairy products of any kind), two people with type 2 diabetes, a hard-core Atkins dieter, and a person with celiac disease (I'm not a doctor and can't explain this to you, but the dietary restriction involved with this condition is "no gluten in any form" - no wheat products or related grains.). Some of these diners were elderly folks who didn't like spicy foods much, and some were adventurous thrill-seekers who put hot peppers on their cornflakes, judging by how they seasoned my cooking.
I originally set myself the challenge of cooking a Thanksgiving dinner that everyone at the table could eat every bit of, but the permutations would have required a statistician to calculate and document, and aside from sitting an enormous raw salad in the middle of the table and encouraging everyone to "eat hearty," it seemed an impossibility.
So here's Uncle Walt's hint for de-stressing over holiday cooking: don't obsess over trying to cook the perfect meal for everyone at the table.
Instead, you should obsess over cooking a "whole bunch of perfect little dishes", so that everyone can get enough to eat by mixing and matching what they can eat from what you've got on offer. (There, isn't that better?)
Once I hit on that strategy, the rest was easy.
I cooked two turkey breasts for the carnivores, and made gravy from the pan-drippings for the folks who didn't need to watch their waistlines.
The folks who could eat breads and grains enjoyed the cornbread dressing, a Southern classic; the folks who weren't counting every carbohydrate could pile on the mashed potatoes and the candied yams, too. (I reserved a portion of the mashed potatoes with no butter or milk in them for the vegan, and baked a plain yam for the diabetics--Mother Raleigh and myself--to split.)
And, as it turned out, there were a good number of dishes that everyone at the table could eat--pickled vegetables (a Raleigh family tradition), fresh cranberry sauce (tart and tasty), and this year, a new addition, the World's Best Carrot Salad, which was the consensus hit of the veggie entries on the sideboard this year.
The World's Best Carrot Salad is a Moroccan dish that our favorite falafel restaurant in New York City makes, and since the recipe has been published on the Web this year, thanks to New York magazine, I can share it with you. It's best made a day ahead and marinated overnight, and it's a real knockout.
Try it on your holiday table. The recipe calls for half a teaspoon of sugar, but if you can't bring yourself to use even that homeopathic quantity, Splenda works fine.
And remember, when cooking for crowds, you can't make it perfect for everyone, so don't try; aim for "everybody gets enough to eat," and have plenty of coffee to serve during the football game.
See you next year.

This past weekend was my STAR TREK group's anniversary picnic. Our hostess was one of our chapter's newer members, though she's definitely a second-generation member (perhaps since birth!) of the larger organization. She's also dealing with a couple of agressive, quality-of-life-limiting autoimmune conditions, at least one of which has been somewhat mitigated by the effect of bariatric surgery. In the relaxed atmosphere of a group picnic, she was able to explain a bit more about...

All UAE residents need to have an Emirates ID Card. The ID card is an electronic means of identification that EIDA undertakes to issue for all population of U.A.E. It is mandatory for each national or expatriate person above 15 years old.
Coupled with sophisticated technological features, the ID card is a safe means for identification of residents and verification of their identities. It contains an ID number that links every individual to his/her own personal and biological lifetime data. The ID number serves as a reference for the respective individual in his/her identity-proved transactions with government bodies and some private organizations. It is expected that the ID card will, later, replace all currently applicable other identification means such as labour permit, health card, driving license, etc.
The ID card is mandatory for all residents of the United Arab Emirates, whether nationals or expatriates of above 15 years old, who are living lawfully in U.A.E. Enrolment for the Population Register and ID Card Program is also mandatory for children below 15 years old- obtaining/ issuing an ID card for them is a matter of choice and subject to guardian's consent.
This card is mandatory for all legal residents of the UAE, including nationals, GCC citizens, expatriates and residents. If you fit one of these categories, you can submit individual or group applications to apply for the Emirates ID card. Members of group applications must be from the same family or under the same sponsor (e.g. laborers under the same company sponsorship).

A LOAN shark who lent money to hard-up residents at interest rates of up to 14,000 per cent must pay back more than £100,000.
A judge at Teesside Crown Court declared that Paul Brown, who ran a large scale illegal money lending operation, had benefited from his criminal activities by the sum of £104,000.
Last night, MPs praised the work of the now-disbanded North-East Illegal Money Lending Team, which helped Durham Police to catch Brown - and warned that loan sharks are making a comeback in North-East communities since the body was replaced by a national organisation two years ago.
Loading article content
Canadian-born Brown, who was in cahoots with his daughter Jennifer, was jailed for 18 months in 2011 after admitting nine specimen charges of illegal money lending between 2001 and 2009.
Now released from jail, he was present at the court for a proceeds of crime hearing.
Brown, 54, of Byland Close, St Helen Auckland, County Durham, was also involved in an illegal cigarette and counterfeit goods racket and was known to locals as 'Canadian Paul' or 'The Money Man'.
He did not contest the proceedings, however his daughter, who laundered £4,000 of Brown's money through her bank account, did.
Jennifer Brown, 26, of Taylor Square, Bishop Auckland, had previously been given a three month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months after admitting converting criminal property.
Judge Tony Briggs declared that her benefit sum be put at £20,746.
The Northern Echo understands that properties belonging to the pair will now be sold in order that the monies owed can be paid back.
This includes a house valued at £50,000 in Craddock Street, Spennymoor, belonging to Jennifer Brown.
The operation to trap Brown and his daughter and seize their criminal earnings involved the North-East Illegal Money Lending Team and Durham Police and began in June 2009 when officers raided Brown's home.
They found loan ledgers containing the names of 123 people, thousands of cigarettes on which £46,000 duty had been evaded and fake tracksuits and T-shirts.
Police said the illegal money lending involved payments from a few hundred pounds up to £2,000 with cash owing being collected from door-to-door.
When he was previously sentenced Brown, whose family moved from Canada when his daughter was aged 12, accepted lending £77,000 to 80 people.
The annual interest rate on one of the short term loans was 14,104 per cent.
Speaking after the proceeds of crime hearing, Nic Ashley, a financial investigator with Durham Police, said: "We need to send a message to the community that these people will be dealt with by the police and the courts if they engage in this kind of activity.
"A prison sentence can be seen by some criminals as one of the hazards of the job.
"Therefore at the same time we will continue our efforts to seize and take from these individuals the proceeds of their crime, which can hit them the hardest."
Helen Goodman, MP for Bishop Auckland, said the result of the proceeds of crime hearing should reassure residents that loan sharks would be caught and urged those with money worries to contact registered credit unions.
She said: "Getting caught up with a loan shark can have serious consequences including crime and violence."
Ms Goodman also said the successful prosecution of the Browns proved why it was wrong to disband the North-East Illegal Money Lending Team.
She said: "The team was hugely successful in protecting our local communities from loan sharks who prey on the most vulnerable in our society."
Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland MP Tom Blenkinsop echoed her comments, and said the loss of the North-East Illegal Money Lending Team had had an adverse impact on communities.
He said: "The centralised team is more responsive, not necessarily preventative. Previously, you had officers who knew who the bad guys were.
"Illegal lenders are starting to creep back into housing estates in my constituency, manipulating people."
