An active-duty soldier whose mortgage servicing company reported him as "seriously delinquent"—even though he never missed a payment—recently won $21 million from the company in federal court.
U.S. Army Sergeant David Brash bought his house in Columbus, GA for $160,000 in 2007. He set the monthly $1,200 payment to be withdrawn automatically from his paycheck every month, according to court documents.
But Coldwell Banker Mortgage, the nation's 8th-biggest mortgage servicing company, made mistakes on the original loan paperwork. These caused Brash's payments to come in late or go missing.
The nightmare started six months after Brash signed his mortgage, when Coldwell Banker called Brash and sent him letters saying he had missed several payments, according to the lawsuit. Brash responded with letters and phone calls of his own, explaining how that was impossible, since he had bank statements proving that all the payments had been automatically withdrawn.
[Article: One Family's 9-Month Trip Through the Loan Mod Twilight Zone]
Coldwell Banker employees investigated, and found Brash was right. But the no-payment letters kept coming. Other employees promised to conduct an internal investigation, and inform Brash in writing of what they found. Brash later discovered that no investigation was ever begun, and he received nothing in writing.
Eventually, Coldwell Banker reported to the three major credit bureaus that Brash was $2,418 past due on his mortgage, erroneously trashing his credit score.
After nearly two years of repeated mistakes by Coldwell Banker, Brash sued the company in December 2009 for breach of contract, negligence and punitive damages.
"Coldwell Banker Mortgage has acted in bad faith, has been stubbornly litigious, and has caused Plaintiff unnecessary trouble and expense," according to the lawsuit.
The jury agreed. Georgia's middle district federal court awarded Brash $21 million, mostly in punitive damages. Coldwell Banker says it plans to appeal.
"(W)e believe this verdict is not supported by the facts of the case or by applicable law, and that the award is grossly disproportionate to any damages Sgt. Brash may have sustained," Jonathan McGrain, a spokesman for Coldwell Banker, told Georgia news station WTVN.

Page One is probably the best thing that a teen who wants a job in journalism can do.
Page One is filled with students from grade 9-12, from many different schools in the area with one common interest - the love for writing.
In order to join the staff of Page One, students must complete the workshop that begins on Thursday.
Article Photos
Last year's staff and workshop members met U.S. Rep. Timothy J. Ryan at a special press conference at the Tribune Chronicle offices in Warren.
Upon completion of the workshop, the student must then go through a staff interview.
In the workshops, you will learn everything you need to know about writing the perfect news article and the right questions to ask for interviews.
Page One is filled with tons of young teens who love writing. In Page One, we all work together to make the page the best we can. We can also do a variety of group pages on different topics, such as 'the color page,' Valentine's Day, and 'the pet page.'
Page One staff get to meet once a week, bouncing off various story ideas and topics. One of the meeting topics we tackled last year was cupcakes. The discussion turned into a competition of who could make the better cupcakes. Thus, Cupcake Wars was born.
We look forward to repeating the competition this year.
In Page One you also get to meet kids from different schools and become friends. You become so close that in fact, some of my closest friends were made at Page One.
This upcoming year, we are planning to start work in video. We will be making newscasts with events going on at our schools. We also will have short skits on things that have to do with journalism.
If Page One sounds like something that you would like to be a part of, bring your parents and come to the informational meeting at 6 p.m. on Thursday at the Tribune Chronicle, 240 Franklin St. N.E., Warren.

Finally, what you've all been waiting for!
I have slowly been incorporating the Primal lifestyle. I have been replacing non-primal foodstuff with primal foods. It's been about two weeks since I figure I myself have been quite primal in eating.
Last week I started walking most every day, although yesterday my knee (the one that had been hurt) started hurting in the back, so I walked all of six minutes. I always stretch before I go on a walk and I bring my techno dance music with me. If I so get the urge, I will start dancing in the middle of the street because dancing is a primal thing in my mind.
Eventually I want to add some weight training in because I do want to become stronger. I have yet to really delve into that part here on MDA, but I feel that I will be able to once I have a balance on the food and walking thing.
Another goal I am working towards is keeping my house clean. I'm not the tidiest person, but I feel like if I'm changing my eating and exercising habits, why not cleaning too? I decided this about a week ago when I was at my parents. It seemed so much easier to get up and go for a walk when the house was so uncluttered.
I really don't think I'm going to be doing a lot of counting of anything. I'll be able to tell when I eat anything wrong - we had the last of the brownie mix a couple of days ago. My stomach was not very happy that next morning.
So far I'm happy with the results:
*been less stuffy, I think overall reduction in inflammation
*feel more satisfied
*less acne problems
Except that I have been a little more mood swingy than my usual PMSing. And I have arguments with my husband about grains being bad. I still have to buy him bread for his sandwiches. It doesn't seem to be that much of a temptation to me.
Oh yeah, I'll be donating the flour and jar of peanut butter that we have left. I'm totally getting almond butter. He loves pancakes so I want to try almond meal too.

I think BMR gives one a general low calorie goal to shoot for to avoid starvation mode. The formula probably uses an average LBM of the comatose person including differences for age and gender. It does not, of course, take into account other factors that effect weightloss. TDEE can tell you generally where to stop and allows me to eat more when I need it.
When I am not binging, this works for me for weightloss. Maybe it is the exercise factor.

The Google Zebra Update Is Coming : One More Algorithm Update of Google?
Is there a new algorithm update of Google coming soon? Will Google Officially name it as Google Zebra Update?
Seems Google is now dealing with different animal names for their updates to protect endangered species, including Panda, Penguin, but is it worth enough to consider Zebra as an endangered animal and giving it's name to it's new update.
Or, it is just a rumor spreading all over the internet from yesterday that Google is going to roll out new update with name as "Zebra Update".
Will Google Zebra Hit Social Marketing?
Will it work against spam content?
Will it Wipe All Websites Off From The Web?
Or something else is there in Google's mind?
Recently, a certain search engine's algorithm updates have not been so nice to most of the web. These Agents of G.O.O.G.L.E (yes I'm a Marvel fan!) arrive quietly, then tear relentlessly through the fabric of our very SEO souls! And what makes these updates even more frightening (and creepy) is these kill shots come in the form of cute and cuddly animals. I mean who would be afraid of a cute little Penguin…awe…or that cuddly Panda? And when was last time crowds ran screaming "The Hummingbird is coming…run for your lives!"? Never!
Getting Better At Keywords : Avoid keyword stuffing, but do keywords right
By Chris Crum at WebProNews
Last week, Google unleashed its Penguin update upon webmasters. The update, as you may know, was designed to decrease the rankings of sites engaging in black hat SEO tactics and webspam. One of the classic black hat tactics is keywords stuffing, so if you've been doing this and getting away with it in the past, there's a good chance the update took you down a notch.
Specifically, Google's Matt Cutts said the update "will decrease rankings for sites that we believe are violating Google's existing quality guidelines. Avoiding keyword stuffing has long been one of these guidelines. The guideline says, "Don't load pages with irrelevant keywords."
Google has a page about this in its help center, where it elaborates a little more. Here's what Google says, verbatim, about keyword stuffing there:
"Keyword stuffing" refers to the practice of loading a webpage with keywords in an attempt to manipulate a site's ranking in Google's search results. Filling pages with keywords results in a negative user experience, and can harm your site's ranking. Focus on creating useful, information-rich content that uses keywords appropriately and in context.
Google Penguin Update: Don't Forget About Duplicate Content
By Chris Crum at WebProNews
"While we can't divulge specific signals because we don't want to give people a way to game our search results and worsen the experience for users, our advice for webmasters is to focus on creating high quality sites that create a good user experience and employ white hat SEO methods instead of engaging in aggressive webspam tactics," Google's Matt Cutts said in the announcement of the update.
He also said, "The change will decrease rankings for sites that we believe are violating Google's existing quality guidelines."
Google Penguin Update: 5 Types of Link Issues Harming Some Affected Websites
By Danny Goodwin at Search Engine Watch
Are you angry and looking for answers about why your rankings vanished after Google released its Penguin update? One common factor thus far appears to be the signals of links that are pointing to your website, early analysis indicates.
The main purpose of the Penguin update is to put a deep freeze on web spam in Google's search results. By extension, a big piece of that web spam appears to be links from low-quality networks.

The Purdue University History Graduate Student Association announces its biennial conference: Crooked Lines: Connection and Conflict in History, Past and Present. This event will take place on the Purdue University Campus in West Lafayette, Indiana on Saturday, March 30, 2013.
"... some confidence needs to be regained in the possibilities of grasping society as a whole, of theorizing its bases of cohesion and instability, and of analyzing its forms of motion." -- Geoff Eley, A Crooked Line
Narratives are often portrayed as deceptively linear, which clouds the connections between the past and present, and the variety of paths they follow. Exploring the divergences and convergences of traditional timelines and narratives allows us to broaden our understanding of the past. Crooked lines appear illustrating conflicts and connections across temporal, spatial, and ideological divisions and provide a richer understanding of the human experience. The Purdue History Graduate Student Association welcomes papers from multiple perspectives and disciplines that explore the crooked lines of history.
Submissions for panels or individual papers are welcomed from graduate students at all levels. We welcome scholars whose work focuses on any region or field. Please send a 250-word abstract and short curriculum vitae (no more than two pages) to email@example.com by January 7, 2013. For panel proposals, please send a 200-word panel abstract along with paper abstracts and presenters' CVs.

Flip and iPhone 4 Face Off
Cisco's pocket-sized Flip video cameras sparked a revolution when they hit the market in 2007 by making recording digital video quick, easy, and affordable. But when the iPhone 4 debuted this summer with high-definition video recording, some people predicted that it would make the Flip obsolete.
As multitalented as the iPhone 4 is, I wondered whether a smartphone could really replace the best-selling camcorder. To find out, I put the iPhone 4 head to head with the newest model of the Flip Ultra HD, which launched last month.
The Flip Ultra HD and the iPhone 4 share some basic features. Both devices have a video mode resolution of 720p HD and cost $199 (for an 8 GB Flip and a 16 GB iPhone; the iPhone also requires a monthly voice and data plan).
The iPhone 4 is sleeker and thinner than the Flip, which is 6.4 by 4.3 inches and three inches thick. The 16 GB iPhone can record one hour clips and will store as many as can fit in the phone's available memory. The 8 GB Flip can record and store up to two hours of HD video.
The Flip Ultra HD shoots sixty frames per second. Many other consumer cameras (including the iPhone 4) shoot thirty frames per second. A higher frame rate can help in situations with low light, fast movement, and if you want to use slow motions effects when editing. Otherwise, the difference between 60 fps and 30 fps isn't discernible.
I've always been impressed by the sharp video captured by the Flip, and the new Flip Ultra HD did not disappoint. The built-in microphone worked well when subjects were within a few feet of the camera, but I did notice that it picked up a lot of ambient noise, like street chatter and cab horns. Attaching a microphone kit would help in noisy situations.
The Flip Ultra HD has a USB connector that pops out of the camera to plug directly into my computer, without needing a additional cord. It was easy to drag the files from the camera into a folder on my computer.
Because the iPhone 4 records video in widescreen, I found it was best to hold it horizontally, which felt more awkward than the vertical Flip. But if I shot while holding the iPhone vertically, the footage would end up pillarboxed, with black bars on both sides.
The iPhone 4 video looked clear and bright, and I couldn't believe I was using a smartphone. But when I put it alongside the Flip Ultra HD video in an edit session, I did notice the Flip video looked crisper. The iPhone's built-in microphone worked well at close range, and an external microphone can be attached using the headphone jack and an adaptor.
I could also edit and add a limited number of themes, text, and transitions, as well as music from my music collection, to my video right in the iPhone 4 by downloading Apple's homegrown iMovie app ($4.99). I shot a video of the Manhattan skyline while riding in a cab, and was able to create a new sequence, add music, and shorten the clip. The video was no great Fellini-esque work of art, but it was fun to try editing on a phone.
But pinching, pulling and tapping the touchscreen to manipulate the footage felt cumbersome. Also, I couldn't import custom graphics to add to a video—for example, a WSJ logo—which is something I'd need if I was going to use the editing app professionally.
Once I completed my video, I could upload it immediately to YouTube, e-mail it or post it to my Facebook. Of course, this is possible because the iPhone 4 has Wi-Fi capabilities and access to the 3G network.
Surprisingly, the iPhone 4 battery outperformed the Flip's. The iPhone still had some battery life remaining after I had spent a few hours intermittently shooting video and using iMovie. The rechargeable battery on the Flip Ultra HD only lasted a little over an hour. The Flip Ultra HD also takes three AAA batteries as backup, which is helpful if you remember to carry them.
So which one is worth it? The Flip Ultra HD still deserves its title as the best HD pocket camcorder. But the iPhone 4 sets a new standard by integrating the ability to shoot, edit, upload, and share high-definition video using a single device, and if you already own one, you may not need a new Flip.

To the Editor Recent research on mental stress–induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) has been devoted to pathophysiology, prognosis, and intervention, the latter being the focus of the Responses of Mental Stress Induced Myocardial Ischemia to Escitalopram Treatment (REMIT) trial.1 Aside from the early work of Deanfield et al,2 researchers have mostly used secondary markers of ischemia (eg, left ventricular [LV] dysfunction) rather than directly assessing myocardial blood flow. The REMIT trial also used secondary indices (wall motion and LV dysfunction), which is unfortunate because more recent research has shown these to lack the sensitivity and specificity of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for the assessment of ischemia provoked by mental stress.3

Do you know what a lung nodule is?
If your doctor has told you that you have a lung nodule, you undoubtedly have questions—like what exactly is a lung nodule? Simply put, it's a mass of tissue found inside the lung.
At the lung nodule program at University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview, experts who specialize in lung nodules can help you find the answers you seek. A team of University of Minnesota specialists provides accurate diagnosis and helps you understand the treatment options that are available.
What is a lung nodule?
A lung nodule is a mass of tissue inside the lung, which is easily seen on an X-ray. Lung nodules are common, and the majority is non-cancerous. But it's important to follow up with a specialist to make sure. Radiologists are able to measure the size of the nodule to help determine the next steps. Based on the size of the mass, your doctor may suggest monitoring it over a period of time to watch for changes. Sometimes, further exploratory measures are necessary—after your initial evaluation, the care team may recommend imaging, collecting a sample from the nodule or surgically removing the nodule.
- Pulmonologists
- Thoracic surgeons
- Radiologists
- Pathologists
- Medical oncologists
- Radiation oncologists
- Interventional radiologists
- Nurse coordinators
If you have any concerns about your lung nodule(s), call 612-624-LUNG (5864). The care coordinators will help you gather the necessary information and schedule your appointment.Is it cancer?
Determining whether a lung nodule is cancerous or if it could lead to cancer can be challenging. The first step in doing so is to make an appointment with a doctor who specializes in lung nodules. He or she will consider several factors before making a diagnosis such as:
- Age. For patients younger than age 35, there's a minimal possibility that the nodule is cancerous; people over the age of 50 have an increased risk.
- Size and shape of the nodule.
- Medical history. Those with a history of cancer, infections and illnesses may be at higher risk.
- Exposure to smoke and environmental hazard. Patients who smoke or used to smoke, or who've been exposed to asbestos and other known causes of lung cancer, are at higher risk for cancerous lung nodules.
- Growth of the nodule. Benign nodules typically don't grow while cancerous nodules tend to increase in size more quickly.
If your lung nodule is cancerous, University of Minnesota Physicians cancer care specialists are available onsite to help you determine the best treatment for you.What causes lung nodules?
Non-cancerous lung nodules may develop for several reasons:
- Abnormal formation of normal tissue
- Inflammation
- Bacterial and fungal infection
- Scars
- Blood vessel abnormalities
Causes of cancerous lung nodules include lung cancer or cancer that has spread to the lungs from another area of the body, as well as lymphomas.

Two years after President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law, conservatives say that law is filled with failed promises.
For instance, critics say the notion that Americans have the option to stick with their health care plans has proven false.
According to a new report from the Congressional Budget Office, up to 20 million people could actually lose their employer-provided health insurance.
"The whole idea that there's not going to be this disruption is just untrue. A lot of employers are going to drop their health insurance coverage to dump people on government-run exchanges to get them off their neck," Philip Klein, senior editorial writer for The Washington Examiner, told CBN News.
Conservatives argue that such an occurrence will force Americans to switch to a more government-controlled health care plan and violate individual freedom of choice.
"The new health care law increases the role of government in every corner of the health care system," Kathryn Nix, a policy analyst for the Heritage Foundation, told CBN News.
"It inserts itself into the decisions that Americans make regarding the health care plans they carry. It will also impact the decisions we make with our doctor," she warned.
Higher Premiums
GOP critics noted that when the president pitched his health care reform, he said it would cut the cost of the typical family's premium by up to $2,500 a year.
But the new CBO report says those health insurance premiums are actually expected to increase by up to 10 to 13 percent.
"The cost is only going to grow and we can't afford this," Nix said. "The taxpayers can't afford it; American families struggling already to pay health care costs can't afford it."
Critics point to yet another broken promise: The CBO estimates the cost of 'Obamacare' will actually double and will cost taxpayers up to $2 trillion from within the decade starting in 2014, when the law begins to really kick in.
"There are at least 15 new tax provisions in the law. And these are definitely going to hit middle income families despite what the president has promised," Nix said.
'A Complete Disaster'
"I think the health care plan is a complete disaster on every level," Klein stated. "You're going to see massive wait times. You're going to see quality go down. You're going to see access go down; you're going see costs go up."
But supporters of the president's health plan, like economist Henry Aaron with the Brookings Institution, disagree.
"Most Americans are not going to see any significant changes in their health insurance arrangements," he predicted. "I don't think anybody, either the critics or the advocates of the bill, think it's a perfect piece of legislation and changes will need to be made."
Even the Obama administration's top health care official has come under fire for not being able to defend the president's promises -- and why a new report shows the national health care law is actually going to add billions of dollars to the deficit.
A grilling Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., at a recent Senate appropriations committee hearing often left Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sibelius at a loss for words.
"So instead of saving $143 billion by this administration's own figures and budget, we are now adding $54 billion to our deficit in the first 10 years."
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments challenging the constitutionality of the president's health care law next week. Justices will hear a full six hours of arguments, the most time allotted for any case in recent history.

Am I the only woman on this board who doesn't want this kid to come out? Don't get me wrong, I love this baby, wanted him, and planned for him, but I'm not stupid! I know that just because he's sweet and calm at the hospital and for the first 2 days he's at home doesn't mean that's how he's going to be forever. I know midnight feedings can be sweet and endearing but I also know that I will wish I had a wet nurse and a nanny sometimes. I know after about 2 weeks when the demon wakes inside him and he screams for no good reason at all night for 5 nights in a row I will inevitably be wondering how I can re-insert this little monster back into my uterus. No matter what kind of fancy or expensive baby equipment I own it won't make a difference. Every time a hot plate of food is in front of me the beast will awaken and demand to be fed. I will no doubt, several times those first few months, leave the house with puke, shit or snot on my clothing without knowing it. My boobs will sag a little more, my ass will jiggle more as well, and I will probably not be able to use the bathroom by myself for the next 4 to 5 years. Sooooooooooooooooo I will not be trying to induce myself any time soon.
disclaimer: I love my kids, more than life, I'm just being realistic. There is nothing better than the first time you go to get them out of their crib and they are standing there with a huge smile that is only for you...........or because they took their diaper off and smeared shit all over.

Dis anyone succeed in connecting latest samba release with ldap? I have
problems with release 3.0.23c. I get following messages in log.smbd

I have also another server but with samba 3.0.12 which works with the same
LDAP server and everything is ok.
Smb.conf is configured exactly the same way on both machines.
Faulty samba server machine also uses different(latest) version
smbldap-tools. I'm able to do smbldap-populate, add LDAP users and groups,
so it looks like ldap client is working fine. Also ldapsearch is working
My smb.conf file contains:
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://172.27.78.10,smbpasswd
So it's normal entry.
I checked source file smbldap.c and the problem is either with
ldap_initialize() function or its first parameter which is passed by other
function. I checked the internet for ldat_initialize() and it says it's
rather undocumented function which may replace ldap_init() function. There's
#define HAVE_LDAP_INITIALIZE in config.h, however when I switched it off, it
was not possible to compile some files.

Real Rick Ross Speaks on Appeal Against Rapper
Former drug kingpin "Freeway" Ricky Ross spoke to XXLMag.com today(December 14) about his decision to appeal the recent ruling on a lawsuit he filed against rapper Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Def Jam and Universal Music amongst others for the commercial use of his name.
While on the way to a meeting with BET, where he is in talks to star in his own reality television show tentatively titled Freeway's House, the real Ross talked about his decision to go back to court.
"They made enough money off my name, " he told XXL. "Anybody with enough decency and respect for the game would have thrown me something. Rick Ross and Def Jam have all been eating off my brand. I feel it's time they stop and I won't stop until they do. I already filed my appeal. They tried to wear out my lawyers with money and they feel they can do whatever they want to do. "
As previously reported, a federal judge dismissed Ricky Donell Ross' initial $10 million lawsuit in November ruling that "Freeway" could not win on the trademark infringement claim or the grounds of unfair competition because he was unable to show valid trademark rights to his name.
Despite the prior ruling the Ross remains positive. "It's like going against a giant but I was a little guy all my life and I am ready for this," he said. "When they started this, they knew I was in jail with my hands tied. I am no longer in jail and now they will have to deal with me. They will have to see me soon enough. I'll be at the award shows. I'll be everywhere."
When contacted by XXLMag.com the Miami rapper remained confident that he would win the case. "We gon' let everything take it's course," he said. "It's gonna be a beautiful thing real soon."

Three UO athletes -- Jordan Hasay, Alexi Pappas and Allie Woodward -- were named Academic All-Americans.
This underscores what a remarkable group of athletes Oregon has in the women's track & field program.
The Ducks have been successful in the classroom and in the arena, where they have won three successive NCAA Indoor championships, four successive Pac-12 titles, and have been runners-up at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in three successive years.
Already in this academic year, the Ducks have won the NCAA Cross Country Championship.
Should they win a fourth consecutive NCAA Indoor title next month in Fayetteville, Ark., they will be in position for a rare triple crown -- NCAA titles in cross country, indoor and outdoor track in the same academic year.
And guess what? The NCAA Outdoor Championships are at Hayward Field, June 5-8. This is a great season for home-field advantage.
What are the odds of a triple crown?
A look today at the NCAA's descending order list shows Oregon athletes primed to score in at least eight events in the NCAA Indoor. In many cases -- sprinters English Gardner and Phyllis Francis, distance runner Jordan Hasay and the third-ranked distance medley relay -- they could score impact points.
Stay tuned.

Taylor Ridge offers splendid living
There's more than meets the eye at Ed and Maurita Mead's home at 1315 Taylor Ridge Court in Fairview. The Meads are the only owners of the home that many Erie-area residents will remember for gatherings, hospitality and meetings. Inside, it's built for entertaining, and outside, the backyard in-ground pool welcomes visitors who immediately want to sit down and relax on the patios and decks that surround the pool. That's not all, though. The .86-acre lot includes plenty of additional landscape and lawn available for additional recreation.
This prestigious home in a private, quiet neighborhood offers quality construction and beautiful interior design. Built in 1991 by Montagna Builders, it shows off a traditional design with spacious rooms. The covered front porch offers entry to 2,899 square feet of living space. The front hall opens to the left to the 15-by-21-foot living room where a bay window and additional windows bring in the outdoors. The living room connects to the 14-by-16-foot formal dining room with a similar design and bay window.
Notable details abound. For example, the ceilings in every room feature artistic swirled plaster designs that command attention. The walls feature southwestern colors that blend deep colors that make all natural woodwork pop along with gleaming hardwood flooring.
The front hall and dining room connect to the 14-by-21-foot kitchen where a skylight opens the food preparation area and the large eating area has a view of the outdoor living space through French doors. The back hall connects a family room where built-ins surround the room and hardwood flooring gleams underfoot. A brick fireplace highlights one exterior wall while triple doors exit to the outdoor patio. A full bath and laundry room are located in a hallway that provides easy access to the pool.
The front hall's elegant oak staircase wraps around to the second floor where four bedrooms and two full baths round out the space. The master bedroom, on the north end of the home, provides three closets, a dressing area with its own skylight, sink and vanity, and a private full bath.
The main bath includes a skylight and the other three bedrooms offer ample space and large closets.
The lower level features another 700 square feet of finished living space with a recreation room and half bath.
Outside, the private backyard features multiple covered and open patios. One area features a canvas awning with roll-down screens, while another area features a covered patio. Paver walkways connect adjoining seating areas, all enclosed by a fence. A cute pool house has been everything from a playhouse to a storage center. Beyond the private enclosed pool area, acreage offers plenty of landscape and yard to enjoy sports and recreation.
Before you think you have seen everything, visitors must take a look at the garage -- it can accommodate a boat and up to three cars.
Kathe Rafferty of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services list the home at $430,000. To take a closer look at this house, visit Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. For more information, call Rafferty at 833-1000.

Good news for hoops fans: PSU's new AD has solid basketball background
July 29, 2014 - Cory Giger
CHICAGO -- One of the best things about new Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour -- if you're a basketball fan -- is that she has a lot of experience working at schools where basketball actually matters.
Fingers crossed that she can have a big impact in helping that finally be the case at PSU.
When I asked her about her goals for the men's basketball program, Barbour said, "To compete for a national championship."
OK, OK. Let's not get carried away. Three or four NCAA Tournament appearances a decade would be a good start. But hey, at least she did come right out and say she's devoted to winning in hoops, which for a long time has been questionable with Penn State's administration.
Arguably Barbour's best high-profile decision during her tenure at Cal was to hire former Stanford and NBA coach Mike Montgomery in 2008. Montgomery is a very good coach who guided the Bears to four NCAA Tournament berths and two NIT appearances in his six years.
The school also made it to the NCAA tourney in 2006, under coach Ben Braun, during Barbour's time as AD.
There were some good times in hoops at Cal, for sure, but the basketball program's graduation rate of 38 percent, according to the most recent NCAA statistics, is appalling. That kind of number will not be acceptable at Penn State, not even if the Lions do make some NCAA tourney appearances.
Prior to Cal, Barbour spent time in the administration at Notre Dame from 2000-04. She worked with men's basketball coach Mike Brey, who led the Fighting Irish to the NCAA Tournament three of those four years.
Let's cut to the nitty gritty: Since 2000, schools where Barbour was working made it to the NCAA Tournament eight times. In its history, Penn State has reached the NCAA tourney just nine times, and only twice since 1996.
"We've had a pretty good basketball program at Cal," Barbour said. "I've been involved with some good basketball programs, both on the men's and the women's side, and we had great success at Notre Dame under Mike Brey."
On the flip side, one of Barbour's final decisions at Cal turned out to be an embarrassing one for her. When Montgomery retired in March, Barbour wanted to replace him with a Cal assistant but reportedly was overruled by the school's new chancellor, who hired former Purdue standout Cuonzo Martin.
How does all of this tie into Penn State?
Well, new ADs like to hire their own people. But, in her new job, Barbour probably isn't going to be able to make many splash hires any time soon.
The Nittany Lions already have some outstanding coaches in major/successful sports, including: James Franklin (football), Cael Sanderson (wrestling), Russ Rose (women's volleyball), Coquese Washington (women's basketball), Rob Cooper (baseball) and Guy Gadowsky (men's hockey).
I have long held the belief that, with a new AD coming in, the 2014-15 basketball season will be a vital one for men's coach Patrick Chambers. The Lions went just 6-12 in the Big Ten last year, and Chambers' conference record of 12-42 in his three years is abysmal.
There are asterisks, of course. Chambers inherited a team virtually devoid of talent, save for Tim Frazier, when he took over the job from Ed DeChellis. And the 2012-13 season was a wash nearly from the get-go after Frazier suffered a season-ending Achilles injury.
But Chambers gets no free pass whatsoever for this past season.
He claimed over and over to anyone who would listen that he had the best backcourt in the country in Frazier and D.J. Newbill, yet the team could only manage a 6-12 conference record. Sure, it beat Ohio State twice, but end-game failures of epic proportions proved that the team had no clue most nights how to finish games, and that falls largely on the coach.
Frazier is now gone, and while Newbill is a very good player, there's not much reason to believe the Lions can do any better than 6-12 in the Big Ten this winter. Again, it's long been my belief that a new AD would hold him more accountable, to the degree where a 6-12 league record in his fourth season might be enough to part ways with Chambers.
I don't feel that way any longer.
Chambers still could be on the hot seat, but I believe he has bought himself at least an additional year or two beyond this season because of some outstanding recruiting.
Chambers has landed verbal commitments from not just one, but two top-100 recruits in 6-foot-4 shooting guard Josh Reaves and 6-8 center Mike Watkins. Penn State rarely gets a sniff at a top-100 recruit, so to already have two for next year is tremendous for the program.
Even if PSU struggles this season, which is very likely, it could be foolish for Barbour to oust Chambers and risk losing those two top recruits.
"I'm going to work with Patrick to (find out) what are our gaps?" Barbour said. "What do we need and how do we put those in place for our student- athletes to create the kind of success that we're talking about?"
She went on to add, "I think the important part is going to be sitting down with Patrick and (finding out) what's your assessment. Again, I'm going to do a lot of listening. I've got a lot to learn."
Barbour will learn quickly that the Bryce Jordan Center is not a great basketball facility. She needs to find ways to help make the game day atmosphere much better and to get the mostly apathetic students more interested.
She said she's "not a very patient person" but also noted there are many factors that play into a program's success that require more patience.
When asked specifically about the basketball program's good recruiting so far, Barbour said, "I certainly understand recruiting and recruiting cycles. And recruiting over the years has just gotten earlier and earlier and earlier in terms of commits, so you do have a little bit of a longer run-up time."
There's no telling how much Barbour will -- or will be allowed -- to focus on men's basketball when the football program is still king and has major issues of its own. Penn State isn't Cal or Notre Dame when it comes to hoops tradition, and probably never will be.
But it should not be a place where basketball is an afterthought, either.
If Barbour can in some way help turn that around, be it with Chambers at the helm or someone else, then she will accomplish at least one gargantuan task as AD.

The University of Texas-Pan American Foundation's International Women's Board (IWB) is hosting its annual holiday tours of the historic Shary-Shivers Estate in January 2004. Tour dates and hours will be 8:30-11:15 a.m. and 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 10 and 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 11.
The tours are open to the public with a $10 general admission fee. Senior citizens 55 years and over will be charged $8. There will be no pre-sold tickets so the tours, which are docent guided, are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
"There will be more than 10 Christmas trees throughout the mansion that will be decorated with different flowers. Every Christmas the Shary family would put 100 red roses in front of the ballroom fireplace to honor the Virgin of Guadalupe and the Board still honors that tradition each year," Cappadona said. The roses will be donated by Hewlett-White florists.
The Shary-Shivers estate was built in 1917 by John H. Shary, considered to be the father of the Texas citrus industry. He and his wife, Mary O'Brien Shary, had one adopted child, Marialice, who married Allan Shivers, who later became governor of Texas from 1949 to 1957. While governor, the Shary and Shivers families often gathered at the mansion, located on Shary Road north of Mission, for Christmas and other holidays.
Norma Woolsey, vice president of the IWB executive board and docent director for the mansion, said the state's business was often conducted there and many historic events occurred in its rooms. One of Woolsey's favorite areas is the ballroom, which measures 60 by 80 feet.
"There were so many things that happened in this ballroom. Eisenhower was entertained here when he came for the Falcon Dam dedication in 1953 and the Shary's daughter (Marialice) was married here to Allan Shivers, then a state senator, who would become governor," she said.
The Shivers were both early supporters of The University of Texas and the former Pan American College, and served both institutions as members of the Board of Regents. Children of the Shary-Shivers union chose to donate the home and an adjacent memorial chapel, where Mr. and Mrs. Shary are entombed, to the UTPA Foundation in 1997.
This year a pilot project regarding the mansion was initiated by IWB in conjunction with the Sharyland School District. The project, which targeted fourth-graders in the district, provided tours for the students in December. This project may expand to other districts in the future.
Funds raised by the IWB go to the upkeep of the mansion and student scholarships, particularly for students pursuing international studies. Membership in the IWB, which is governed by a 23-member board and has more than 100 members, is open to anyone but requires a membership fee of $25 per year.
For additional information on the tours, contact UTPA at 956/381-3361.

After the better part of two weeks, all of Gap's e-commerce sites are back online. For the second quarter, Gap is also reporting total online sales of $107 million, including $40 million for Gap.com and $52 million for Old Navy.com.
After a major upgrade that took all or a portion of its web stores down for almost two weeks, Gap Inc. is finally back online. Gap is also now breaking out its online sales, which were flat in the second quarter of 2005, compared with the same quarter in 2004.
Gap, No. 22 in the Internet Retailer Top 400 Guide to Retail Web Sites, took its three principal web sites – Gap.com, OldNavy.com and BananaRepublic.com – down on Aug. 24 for a substantial overhaul. The new update features several new upgrades that help to personalize the shopping experience, says a Gap spokesperson.
For instance, Gap created new tools that help shoppers see more detail such as product overviews and available sizes and colors. Customers can choose an outfit and on the same page see how the clothes look with matching accessories. The shopping cart has also been updated with new and larger images and editing tools.
To drive traffic and sales, Gap.com is consolidating more activity onto a single product page. In an effort to streamline shopping, visitors can see enhanced images of a particular item, including available sizes and colors, and add the item or items to their shopping cart all on a single page. "Quick Look is the fastest shopping around," Gap says on its new redesigned web site.
Gap is redesigning its web site to become "the best online apparel retailer," the company says in its recently filed second quarter results.
But web sales were essentially flat for Gap and its e-commerce sites when compared on a quarterly basis with 2004. For the second quarter of its fiscal year, Gap is reporting total online sales of $107 million, including $40 million for Gap.com, $52 million for Old Navy.com and $15 million for BananaRepublic.com. In comparison for the second quarter of 2004, total web sales were $106 million, including $43 million for Gap.com, $46 million for OldNavy.com and $17 million for BananaRepublic.com.
For the first six months of 2005, web sales for all Gap e-commerce sites were $245 million, including $95 million for Gap.com, $114 million for Old Navy.com and $36 million for BananaRepublic.com.
That compares to total e-commerce revenues of $234 million for first six months of 2004, including $101 million for Gap.com, $94 million for Old Navy.com and $39 million for BananaRepublic.com.

Since the Rangers European trip to begin the 2011-12 season, the team has been issuing the Broadway Hat to their player of the game after every victory. It isn't always presented to the player who scored the game winning goal or made the big save, it's sometimes given to a player who had done the little things to get the job done.
But last night, Martin St. Louis did something that had never happened in the two plus years of the Broadway Hat. Instead of awarding it to an individual teammate he gave it to the entire team in recognition of their support over the last three days…
"I couldn't be prouder to be a *ucking New York Ranger with you guys."
…damn, I love this guy. Who did the Rangers trade for him again?
Here's more St. Louis after the game…
"I got a pretty good bounce there on the first one, obviously the right place," St. Louis added. "But you have to work for your bounces. I know she (his mother) helped me through this. It's a great win by the guys. We played hard. We have to believe and we just have to keep pushing. That's what we're doing.
"Mother's Day, my dad's here, my sister's here," St. Louis said. "It's been a tough time for my whole family. To be able to get the lead in the first period, it was a good moment."
Here's St. Louis' teammates on what his goal last night meant to them (via Bergen Record)…
Derek Stepan:
"It's probably one of the cooler things I've been a part of in my professional career, the emotion on that goal," Derek Stepan said. "it's something I won't ever forget. What he's been through the last couple of days, for him to score a goal and the way he did it it's something I won't forget for sure."
Marc Staal:
"To get a goal like that, at the start like that, with the crowd cheering his name, it's an unbelievable start to the game. I haven't heard the crowd that loud in a very long time."
Henrik Lundqvist:
"It's a great moment. I'm so happy for him. It was emotional. I got emotional. I think everyone felt it."
…it says so much about the kind of guy St. Louis is to see his teammates become so inspired and emotionally charged by someone who has only been with the Rangers for two months. Losing a parent is obviously a traumatic experience and I'm sure other teams have been similar situations throughout the history of sports, but seeing how every single player on the Blueshirts roster has reacted to the situation it's almost as if they've all lost a loved one. This story has not only captured the hearts of the Rangers organization, but also the entire fan base. It's been an emotional few days and you wonder if they have enough for one more victory.
…btw, how awesome of a moment was watching St. Louis skate around the MSG ice after being named the first star thanking the Garden Faithful?

• We performed a longitudinal study of chronic schizophrenic patients who were hospitalized for research purposes at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Intramural Program in the 1970s and early 1980s. We assessed present course, outcome and predictor data from the initial cohort of 58 young chronic schizophrenic patients who were followed up for 2 to 12 years following their NIMH index hospitalization. At follow-up, the sample showed substantial functional impairment and levels of symptoms with only about 20% of the sample demonstrating a good outcome. In addition, strong intercorrelation was noted among the symptom and functioning indexes at follow-up. Moreover, neuropsychologic tests of frontal cortical functioning were significantly correlated with outcome levels of negative symptoms and social functioning but not with levels of positive symptoms. During the period from the index hospitalization to the follow-up assessment, 78% of the sample suffered a relapse, 38% attempted suicide and 24% had episodes of major affective illness. Furthermore, levels of positive and negative symptoms ascertained when patients received optimal neuroleptic treatment during the index hospitalization significantly predicted outcome levels of symptoms and functioning and time spent hospitalized during the follow-up period. In contrast, levels of index positive and negative symptoms ascertained during the drugfree state did not predict outcome symptoms or functioning. These data suggest that treatment response is a critical predictor variable. We examined the implication of these data for the course of illness in schizophrenics.

War between the English barons and King Henry III had broken out in 1263, after the attempted governmental arrangement proposed in the Provisions of Oxford of 1258 had failed. This civil war was the closest England came to overthrowing the monarchy before the Commonwealth period of the seventeenth century. At the Battle of Lewes, in Sussex, in 1264, Henry III was captured by the rebel barons, led by Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, In the aftermath of this victory, Simon de Montfort effectively took over rule of the kingdom. He began to institute far-reaching reforms, extending the basic form of parliamentary representation initiated by the Magna Carta to include non-nobles and representatives of each county. However, after fifteen …

I'd like to acknowledge two things that happened over the past week. First, I wish to offer my condolences to the Manton family after Terry Manton passed away on Thursday, Feb. 9. He would have turned 45 years old on Sunday. Manton was a respected industry figure who founded Manton Pushrods. Six-time Pro Stock champion Warren Johnson thought enough of him that he tried to hire him several years ago. He was a friend to many racers and manufacturers and will be missed.
Secondly, I was relieved to find out that Mike Austin walked away from a scary crash in his Top Alcohol Dragster on Saturday. I remember Mike from when he was a crewmember on the late John Shoemaker's American Eagle dragster and would sleep in the camper of their tow truck. He's one of those guys who loves racing so much that he's always beaming when he's at the track. I'm sure the wreck was a tough blow for him, but I hope he can make it back out there soon.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca will be the keynote speaker.

Album of the Day: Riti Occulti – Riti Occulti
Posted on Wednesday, January 28th, 2015
Lovingly pinched from Echoes And Dust: Blackened occult doom… The name just roles off the tongue doesn't it? Conjuring images of midnight witches gathered in a forest conjuring sounds of demonic nature, that's not a million miles away from what Riti Occulti sound like, and depending on your taste this will either be the worst or best thing you have ever heard.
It sure takes some listening, but you know what? The rewards are there and at times this album is magnificent in the way it creates a maelstrom of evil noise. Don't expect an easy ride though or you'll be in for a shock. Riti Occulti want your soul and mind and they will twist it any way they see fit.
Leaving the vocals aside for the moment we should concentrate on what is in fact, some rather remarkable music. Casting away notions of riffs and generic song structures, these songs are suffused deep in an industrial heartland and owe more to the likes of Tool than any doom band. That will be the black metal coming through and in what is possibly the most interesting metal genre our there, Riti Occulti make it into their own by bringing in elements of doom. It's a noisy, discordant sound but also one that makes complete sense in the making of the songs.
Wrapping in tribal rhythms, operatic moments, some fantastic drumming and a keen use of synths, each song unravels at its own pace. Highlights are the excitingly evil 'Revelation' and the tribal bothering 'I'm Nobody', which places firm intent on combining atmosphere, industrial noise and plain fuzz into a satisfying whole.

Album of the day: Mansion – We Shall Live
Posted on Saturday, June 15th, 2013

Album of the day: Jex Thoth – Blood Moon Rise
Posted on Wednesday, June 12th, 2013
Lovingly pinched from Echoes And Dust: On Blood Moon Rise Jex Thoth take the bluesy, psychedelic laced doom from 2008's self titled release and turn it up a notch. What I find a bit more striking though is that although it is turned up, it has restraint in all the […]

Lovingly pinched from MetalasFuck: The dominant distorted bass is chunky, rich and filthy. The suffocating groove it drags behind it is infectious, conjuring images of darkened smoky rooms full of shuffling swaying bodies. A synthesizer lingers behind, developing a psychedelic edge to the blackened morass, leaving sparse space for the […]

Today in history
Today is Thursday, Oct. 18, the 292nd day of 2012. There are 74 days left in the year.
On this date in the SCV: In 2005, a Santa Paula man was killed in a three-car collision on Highway 126. The man's instant death was partially attributed to his failure to wear a seat belt. While the man was killed, the two other drivers were uninjured.
Today's Highlight in History: On Oct. 18, 1962, James D. Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were honored with the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology for determining the double-helix molecular structure of DNA.
Ten years ago: The Vatican demanded that America's Roman Catholic bishops revise their hard-line crackdown policy on sexually abusive priests, saying that elements conflicted with universal church law. (In 2005, the U.S. bishops voted overwhelmingly to stick with the main points of the discipline plan.)
Five years ago: Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan, ending eight years of self-imposed exile; a suicide bombing in a crowd welcoming her killed more than 140 people, but Bhutto escaped unhurt. (However, she was slain in December 2007.) Former Joint Chiefs chairman William Crowe died in Bethesda, Md., at age 82. Manager Joe Torre, rejecting a pay cut, left the New York Yankees.
One year ago: Fifty wild animals were released by the owner of an eastern Ohio farm, Terry Thompson, who then committed suicide; authorities killed 48 of the creatures, while the remaining two were presumed eaten by other animals. The Republican presidential candidates laced into each other in their latest debate, held in Las Vegas; Mitt Romney emerged as still the person to beat, even as he was called out on the issues of illegal immigration, health care and jobs. Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit emerged from five years in captivity as Hamas militants hand him over to Egyptian mediators in an exchange for 1,000 Palestinian prisoners.
