According to a report from The Athletic's Shams Charania, LeBron James has been hosting private on-court workouts with a couple of his Los Angeles Lakers teammates. Charania said that everybody involved in the workouts has been tested for the coronavirus and that the players are abiding by social distancing guidelines.
According to Yahoo! Sports, LeBron and his teammates may be in violation of rules issued by the NBA at the end of April. Those guidelines stipulated that group activities such as practices and scrimmages are not permitted and that players are "prohibited from using non-team facilities."
The players could also be in violation of stay at home orders in California, which forced all gyms and fitness centers to close.
Charania did not say where the workouts occurred or describe what types of drills the players ran. He added that some of the players from the Los Angeles Clippers were also working out together so they can develop chemistry on the court and be in shape when the season restarts.

Why "Don't Worry About Money, Just Travel" Is The Worst Advice Of All Time
Chelsea Fagan
I have an internet acquaintance that I've been following on social media for a little over two years now, an all-around nice, smart girl who blogs and does odd jobs and has recently decided to go back and get a Master's. In Europe. For a degree that, by all reasonable accounts, is probably not going to lead to a great job. And she knows this, I think, because she talks about it as "an opportunity to learn and expand her mind," more than any sort of preparation for a future career. Which is fine, but the truth of the matter is that she is able to enjoy such freedom — to be a wanderer of sorts who enjoys travel, study for the sake of study, and long conversations over good dinners — because she comes from a good bit of wealth and, if not subsidized entirely, never has to worry about her safety net. She won that particular bit of genetic lottery, and it's useless to begrudge her the freedom that fate bestowed on her.
But it is useful — important, even — to begrudge her the attitude that comes with it, one that is all too prevalent amongst young people who do not have to worry about the foundations of their future financial security: This idea that you must travel, as some sort of moral imperative, without worrying about something as trivial as "money." The girl in question posts superficially inspiring quotes on her lush photos, about dropping everything and running away, or quitting that job you hate to start a new life somewhere new, or soaking up the beauty of the world while you are young and untethered enough to do so. It's aspirational porn, which serves the dual purpose of tantalizing the viewer with a life they cannot have, while making them feel like some sort of failure for not being able to have it.
It's a way for the upper classes to pat themselves on the back for being able to do something that, quite literally, anyone with money can buy. Traveling for the sake of travel is not an achievement, nor is it guaranteed to make anyone a more cultured, nuanced person. (Some of the most dreadful, entitled tourists are the same people who can afford to visit three new countries each year.) But someone who has had the extreme privilege (yes, privilege) of getting out there and traveling extensively while young is not any better, wiser, or more worthy than the person who has stayed home to work multiple jobs to get the hope of one day landing a job that the traveler will assume is a given. It is entirely a game of money and access, and acting as though "worrying about money" on the part of the person with less is some sort of trivial hangup only adds profound insult to injury.
I was able to travel, and even though I paid for my life abroad with my own work, it was still a result of a healthy amount of privilege. I was from a middle-class family who I did not need to support or help financially, I knew that I could always slink back to their couch if things didn't work out, and I had managed to accrue a bit of savings while living at home for the few months before I left. There are millions of people who have none of these things, and even if they wanted to pay for travel on their own, would simply not be able to because of the responsibility or poverty they lived with. For even my modest ability to see the world, I am eternally grateful.
And what's more, I understand (perhaps even better after having traveled a good amount) that nothing about your ability or inability to travel means anything about you as a person. Some people are simply saddled with more responsibilities and commitments, and less disposable income, whether from birth or not. And someone needing to stay at a job they may not love because they have a family to take care of, or college to pay for, or basic financial independence to achieve, does not mean that they don't have the same desire to learn and grow as someone who travels. They simply do not have the same options, and are learning and growing in their own way, in the context of the life they have. They are learning what it means to work hard, to delay gratification, and to better yourself in slow, small ways. This may not be a backpacking trip around Eastern Europe, but it would be hard to argue that it builds any less character.
Encouraging that person to "not worry about money," or to "drop everything and follow their dreams," demonstrates only a profound misunderstanding about what "worrying" actually means. What the condescending traveler means by "not worrying" is "not making it a priority, or giving it too much weight in your life," because on some level they imagine you are choosing an extra dollar over an all-important Experience. But the "worrying" that is actually going on is the knowledge that you have no choice but to make money your priority, because if you don't earn it — or decide to spend thousands of it on a trip to Southeast Asia to find yourself — you could easily be out on the streets. Implying that this is in any way a one-or-the-other choice for millions of Americans is as naive as it is degrading.
Everyone needs to forge their own path to financial independence and freedom. And perhaps you are lucky enough that your path involves a lot of wandering around, taking your time, and trying a bunch of new things — because you know that security will be waiting for you at the end of the rainbow. That's fine, and there is no need to feel guilt or shame over your privilege, if only because it's unproductive and helps no one. But to encourage people to follow your very rare path, because you feel it is the only way to spiritual enlightenment or meaning, makes you an asshole. It makes you the person who posts vapid "inspirational" quotes that only apply to a tiny percent of the population who already has all the basics covered. And God forbid anyone who needs the money actually does follow that terrible advice, they won't be like you, traipsing around South America and trying degrees for fun. They will, after their travels are over, be much worse off than when they started. And no souvenir keychain is going to make that reality sting any less.

KrebsOnSecurity recently featured the story of a Brazilian man who was peppered with phishing attacks trying to steal his Apple iCloud username and password after his wife's phone was stolen in a brazen daylight mugging. Today, we'll take an insider's look at an Apple iCloud phishing gang that appears to work quite closely with organized crime rings — within the United States and beyond — to remotely unlock and erase stolen Apple devices.
Victims of iPhone theft can use the Find My iPhone feature to remotely locate, lock or erase their iPhone — just by visiting Apple's site and entering their iCloud username and password. Likewise, an iPhone thief can use those iCloud credentials to remotely unlock the victim's stolen iPhone, wipe the device, and resell it. As a result, iPhone thieves often subcontract the theft of those credentials to third-party iCloud phishing services. This story is about one of those services.
Recently, I heard from a security professional whose close friend received a targeted attempt to phish his Apple iCloud credentials. The phishing attack came several months after the friend's child lost his phone at a public park in Virginia. The phish arrived via text message and claimed to have been sent from Apple. It said the device tied to his son's phone number had been found, and that its precise location could be seen for the next 24 hours by clicking a link embedded in the text message.
That security professional source — referred to as "John" for simplicity's sake — declined to be named or credited in this story because some of the actions he took to gain the knowledge presented here may run afoul of U.S. computer fraud and abuse laws.
John said his friend clicked on the link in the text message he received about his son's missing phone and was presented with a fake iCloud login page: appleid-applemx[dot]us. A lookup on that domain indicates it is hosted on a server in Russia that is or was shared by at least 140 other domains — mostly other apparent iCloud phishing sites — such as accounticloud[dot]site; apple-appleid[dot]store; apple-devicefound[dot]org; and so on (a full list of the domains at that server is available here).
While the phishing server may be hosted in Russia, its core users appear to be in a completely different part of the world. Examining the server more closely, John noticed that it was (mis)configured in a way that leaked data about various Internet addresses that were seen recently accessing the server, as well as the names of specific directories on the server that were being accessed.
After monitoring that logging information for some time, my source discovered there were five Internet addresses that communicated with the server multiple times a day, and that those address corresponded to devices located in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico.
He also found a file openly accessible on the Russian server which indicated that an application running on the server was constantly sending requests to imei24.com and imeidata.net — services that allow anyone to look up information about a mobile device by entering its unique International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. These services return a variety of information, including the make and model of the phone, whether Find My iPhone is enabled for the device, and whether the device has been locked or reported stolen.
John said that as he was conducting additional reconnaissance of the Russian server, he tried to access "index.php" — which commonly takes one to a site's home page — when his browser was redirected to "login.php" instead. The resulting page, pictured below, is a login page for an application called "iServer." The login page displays a custom version of Apple's trademarked logo as part of a pirate's skull and crossbones motif, set against a background of bleeding orange flames.
John told me that in addition to serving up that login page, the server also returned the HTML contents of the "index.php" he originally requested from the server. When he saved the contents of index.php to his computer and viewed it as a text file, he noticed it inexplicably included a list of some 137 user names, email addresses and expiration dates for various users who'd apparently paid a monthly fee to access the iCloud phishing service.
"These appear to be 'resellers' or people that have access to the crimeware server," my source said of the user information listed in the server's "index.php" file.
John told KrebsOnSecurity that with very little effort he was able to guess the password of at least two other users listed in that file. After John logged into the iCloud phishing service with those credentials, the service informed him that the account he was using was expired. John was then prompted to pay for at least one more month subscription access to the server to continue.
Playing along, John said he clicked the "OK" button indicating he wished to renew his subscription, and was taken to a shopping cart hosted on the domain hostingyaa[dot]com. That payment form in turn was accepting PayPal payments for an account tied to an entity called HostingYaa LLC; viewing the HTML source on that payment page revealed the PayPal account was tied to the email address "admin@hostingyaa[dot]com."
According to the file coughed up by the Russian server, the first username in that user list — demoniox12 — is tied to an email address email@example.com and to a zero-dollar subscription to the phishing service. This strongly indicates the user in question is an administrator of this phishing service.
A review of Lanzadorx[dot]net indicates that it is a phishing-as-a-service offering that advertises the ability to launch targeted phishing attacks at a variety of free online services, including accounts at Apple, Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo, among others.
A reverse WHOIS lookup ordered from Domaintools.com shows that the email@example.com email is linked to the registration data for exactly two domains — hostingyaa[dot]info and lanzadorx[dot]net [full disclosure: Domaintools is currently one of several advertisers on KrebsOnSecurity].
Hostingyaa[dot]info is registered to a Dario Dorrego, one of the other zero-dollar accounts included near the top of the list of users that are authorized to access the iCloud phishing service. The site says Dorrego's account corresponds to the email address dario@hostingyaa[dot]com. That name Dario Dorrego also appears in the site registration records for 31 other Web site domains, all of which are listed here.
John said he was able to guess the passwords for at least six other accounts on the iCloud phishing service, including one particularly interesting user and possible reseller of the service who picked the username "Jonatan." Below is a look at the home screen for Jonatan's account on this iCloud phishing service. We can see the system indicates Jonatan was able to obtain at least 65 "hacked IDs" through this service, and that he pays USD $80 per month for access to it.
Here are some of the details for "Tanya," one such victim tied to Jonatan's account. Tanya's personal details have been redacted from this image:
Here is the iCloud phishing page Tanya would have seen if she clicked the link sent to her via text message. Note that the victim's full email address is automatically populated into the username portion of the login page to make the scam feel more like Apple's actual iCloud site:
The page below from Jonatan's profile lists each of his 60+ victims individually, detailing their name, email address, iCloud password, phone number, unique device identifier (IMEI), iPhone model/generation and some random notes apparently inserted by Jonatan:
The next screen shot shows the "SMS sent" page. It tracks which victims were sent which variation of phishing scams offered by the site; whether targets had clicked a link in the phony iCloud phishing texts; and if any of those targets ever visited the fake iCloud login pages:
Users of this phishing service can easily add a new phishing domain if their old links get cleaned up or shut down by anti-phishing and anti-spam groups. This service also advertises the ability to track when phishing links have been flagged by anti-phishing companies:
This is where the story turns both comical and ironic. Many times, attackers will test their exploit on themselves whilst failing to fully redact their personal information. Jonatan apparently tested the phishing attacks on himself using his actual Apple iCloud credentials, and this data was indexed by Jonatan's phishing account at the fake iCloud server. In short, he phished himself and forgot to delete the successful results. Sorry, but I've blurred out Jonatan's iCloud password in the screen shot here:
See if you can guess what John did next? Yes, he logged into Jonatan's iCloud account. Helpfully, one of the screenshots in the photos saved to Jonatan's iCloud account is of Jonatan logged into the same phishing server that leaked his iCloud account information!
The following advertisement for Jonatan's service — also one of the images John found in Jonatan's iCloud account — includes the prices he charges for his own remote iPhone unlocking service. It appears the pricing is adjusted upwards considerably for phishing attacks on newer model stolen iPhones. The price for phishing an iPhone 4 or 4s is $40 per message, versus $120 per message for phishing attacks aimed at iPhone 6s and 6s plus users. Presumably this is because the crooks hiring this service stand to make more money selling newer phones.
The email address that Jonatan used to register on the Apple iPhone phishing service — shown in one of the screen shots above as email@example.com — also was used to register an account on Facebook tied to a Jonatan Rodriguez who says he is from Puerto Rico. It just so happens that this Jonatan Rodriguez on Facebook also uses his profile to advertise a "Remove iCloud" service. What are the odds?
Well, pretty good considering this Facebook user also is the administrator of a Facebook Group called iCloud Unlock Ecuador – Worldwide. Incredibly, Facebook says there are 2,797 members of this group. Here's what they're all about:
Jonatan's Facebook profile picture would have us believe that he is a male model, but the many selfies he apparently took and left in his iCloud account show a much softer side of Jonatan:
Among the members of this Facebook group is one "Alexis Cadena," whose name appears in several of the screenshots tied to Jonatan's account in the iCloud phishing service:
Alexis Cadena apparently also has his own iCloud phishing service. It's not clear if he sub-lets it from Jonatan or what, but here are some of Alexis's ads:
Coming back to Jonatan, the beauty of the iCloud service (and the lure used by Jonatan's phishing service) is that iPhones can be located fairly accurately to a specific address. Alas, because Jonatan phished his own iCloud account, we can see that according to Jonatan's iCloud service, his phone was seen in the following neighborhood in Ecuador on March 7, 2017. The map shows a small radius of a few blocks within Yantzaza, a town of 10,000 in southern Educador:
Jonatan did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Asma Jahangir's funeral was an emotionally draining yet an energising experience in unique ways. People of all ages, genders, ethnicities, religions, and social classes came to bid adieu to her. Only she could manage to amass such a wide spectrum of the society at such an occasion.
Originally by Rimmel Mohydin on Dawn News
The funeral was scheduled for 3pm. On a regular day, the Gaddafi Stadium is about a 12-minute drive away. We left at exactly 1:45pm. It was everyone's last chance to see her. Obviously, the traffic would be terrible.
We got as close as we could to the stadium gates in our car, and then started making our way into the crowd on foot. The ambulance carrying her wasn't too far away. It moved slowly, aware of the gravity of the woman it was driving.

The bill was rejected even though the mover of the bill was not present though three other bills were deferred for the same reason.
The chairman of the committee, Rehman Malik said the bill, which suggests increasing the minimum age for girls to marry from 16 to 18, was contrary to Islamic injunctions.

Apple Mac OS X users may be at risk from an "extremely critical" vulnerability that remains unpatched. The exploit comes on the heels of the release of OS X 10.4.5 and recent reports that worm writers are targeting Mac users.
No patch as yet released for a highly critical flaw in the latest version of OS X.
Danish security firm Secunia has rated the new flaw "extremely critical."
The vulnerability is allegedly caused by a flaw in how OS X 10.4.5 handles file association meta data found in ZIP archives. Arbitrary commands could potentially be executed automatically via Apple's Safari web browser from a malicious site.
As of press time, Apple had not issued a patch or an advisory for the issue on its security update site. Just last week, Apple updated OS X to version 10.4.5.
Though there isn't a formal patch, there is a simple way to avoid infection. Secunia advises that Mac users disable the "Open safe files after downloading" option in Safari.
Secunia has also posted a link for users to test to see if they are at risk from the vulnerability.
The new security vulnerability comes as OS X is facing its first worms. CME-4, also known as Leap.A, appeared last week, spreading over Apple's iChat instant messaging system.
Security vendors, including Symantec and Sophos, reported this past weekend the discovery of OSX.Inqtana.A worm, which takes advantage of vulnerabilities in Apple's Bluetooth implementation.
"Viruses emerging for the Mac OS X platform is headline news for Apple fans, but they are currently posing far from the level of threat that Windows users face every day," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos, in a statement.
"No one should panic, but this is an indication that hackers are showing an increased interest in targeting the platform."

SSR 68-29: SECTIONS 202(d)(1) AND 216(h)(3)(C)(ii). -- CHILD'S INSURANCE BENEFITS -- ENTITLEMENT OF ILLEGITIMATE CHILD -- EVIDENCE OF RELATIONSHIP
20 CFR 404.1101(d) and 404.1109(c)
- Where a worker died domiciled in Louisiana survived by five illegitimate children, and under the law of Louisiana such children did not have the status of children for purposes of inheriting the worker's intestate personalty and where, pursuant to an application on their behalf for child's insurance benefits based on the worker's earnings record, evidence was submitted consisting of birth certificates recorded at birth, school records naming the worker as father, statements from the landlord, relatives of the worker, and the midwife who delivered three of the children, which tended to show that the worker was the natural father of the children and that he was living with and contributing to the support of the children at the time of his death, held, although the children did not have the status of a child to take the worker's intestate personal property under the law of Louisiana, the worker was shown by satisfactory evidence to be the father of the children and he was living with and supporting the children at death. Therefore, they are deemed to be the worker's children under section 16(h)(30(C)(ii) and are entitled to child's insurance benefits on his earnings record.
R, a fully insured worker, died in October 1966, domiciled in the State of Louisiana. In November 1966, W, the woman with whom R had been living for 13 years, filed application for child's insurance benefits on behalf of their five children. W indicated that she had previously married X in 1950 and was never divorced. While admitting the lack of a legal relationship to R, W contended that she and R had lived together continuously from December 1953 until his death in 1966. She also stated that all the children always lived with and were supported by R until his death and that all were his natural children.
Section 216(h)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act provides, as pertinent here, that in determining whether an applicant is the child of an insured worker, the Secretary shall apply such law as would be applied in determining the devolution of intestate personal property by the courts of the State in which the worker was domiciled at the time of his death. "Applicants who according to such law would have the same status relative to taking intestate personal property as a child * * * shall be deemed such."
Section 216(h)(3)(C) of the Act provides, as pertinent here, that an applicant shall be deemed to be the child of that individual if "(ii) such insured individual is shown by evidence satisfactory to the Secretary to have been the father of the applicant, and such insured individual was living with or contributing to the support of the applicant at the time such insured individual died."
The children did not have status as R's children for inheritance purposes under Louisiana law. The question to be decided is whether under section 216(h)(3)(C)(ii) of the Act they are deemed to be his children for purposes of entitlement to child's insurance benefits.
In this case, the mother of the children submitted a birth certificate for each child, recorded shortly after birth, showing R and W as father and mother of the child named. She also submitted school records indicating R as the father. In addition, the evidence included a statement by the landlord of the premises on which they lived that R, W, and the children had lived together on the landlord's property until R's death and that R had always acknowledged paternity of the children. Four of R's relatives stated in writing that R was the children's father and that he had lived with and supported them from birth until his death.
In addition, a statement from a midwife, who was also related to R, indicated that she delivered three of the children, that R came to get her before each delivery, was present in the house when they were born, paid for her services and had told her they were his children.
Satisfactory evidence has been submitted to show that R is the father of the children and to establish that R was living with and contributing to the support of the children at the time of his death. Thus, the requirements of section 216(h)(3)(C)(ii) of the Act are met.
Accordingly, it is held that on the basis of the application filed in November 1966, the children are entitled to child's insurance benefits on R's earnings record, beginning with October 1966, the month in which he died.

In a fresh sign of turmoil among defeated Democrats, a growing number of the rank and file say they won't support House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a politically symbolic roll call when the new Congress meets in January.
"The reality is that she is politically toxic," said Illinois Rep. Mike Quigley, one of several Democrats who are trying to pressure Pelosi to step aside as her party's leader in the wake of historic election losses to Republicans last week.
Pelosi startled many Democrats with a quick postelection announcement that she would run for minority leader. She has yet to draw an opponent for the post.
Party elections are scheduled for next week, although a postponement is possible.
In the interim, Pelosi's critics have become more vocal in their efforts to retire her from the party leadership.
There's "starting to be a sense that this may not be as much of a done deal as people might have thought," Rep. Jason Altmire said of Pelosi's quest to remain the top Democrat.
"If enough people come out and voice a little discomfort with the idea of her continuing on, maybe she would reconsider," said the Pennsylvanian, one of a handful of Democrats who said he won't cast a ceremonial vote for her.
The election of a party leader occurs behind closed doors. A separate election for speaker to be held on Jan. 5, a few hours after the House convenes for the first time, is a very visible one. One member of each party is typically nominated, and each lawmaker is then called by name to stand and declare a choice. The event is customarily televised live.
Defections from party discipline are rare in such circumstances, but several Democrats said they would not support Pelosi. They did not specify how they would vote instead.
Despite the criticism, one prominent ally, Rep. George Miller of California, said Wednesday night that Pelosi enjoys the support of the "overwhelming number of members of the caucus" for a new term as party leader.
"There has always been in the caucus and there always will be in the caucus people who want to distance themselves from the leadership. That's not new. I think that's a very small percentage," Miller said.
Pelosi's spokesman, Brendan Daly, added that the speaker has strong support throughout the caucus and "is grateful for the confidence that her colleagues have placed in her to become House Democratic leader."
Most of the Democrats who say they would not support Pelosi are moderates from conservative districts who have toiled to distinguish themselves from their liberal leader, and who watched dozens of like-minded Democrats go down in defeat after Republicans savaged them in TV advertisements as lapdogs of the San Francisco congresswoman.
Quigley stopped short of saying he would oppose Pelosi on a public vote, but others did not.
"You would find an unusual number of people not voting for the nominee of their party" if Pelosi were the choice, said Rep. Jim Matheson of Utah.
"There's a growing number of people in the caucus saying, 'Why's she running for minority leader in the first place?' We just got thumped in this election in a major way, and to act like we can just go back and do the same thing over again. It just seems like a very obvious situation when change is called for," Matheson said.
Rep. Dan Boren, D-Okla., another conservative, said through a spokesman that he, too, plans to vote against Pelosi in public and private.
Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., strongly suggested as much in a statement in which he said he wouldn't back Pelosi "for House Democratic leader or any other leadership position in the Congress."
Democrats lost at least 60 seats in last week's elections, with a handful of races yet to be settled. Many of the defeats came in conservative or swing districts, and many of her critics are lawmakers who survived narrowly.
Altmire won re-election by little more than 2 percentage points, but Quigley ran up more than 70 percent of the vote in his Chicago-area district. Pelosi has "probably been made the scapegoat in all this," he said in an interview, but he added that keeping her as the top Democrat "would make recruitment very difficult and winning back the House in two years nearly impossible."
The prospect of substantial Democratic defections from Pelosi on the first day of the new Congress comes amid a heated debate between liberals and conservatives about the party's future. Many liberals assert Democrats must reinvigorate core supporters by refusing to compromise with Republicans on key principles, while centrists argue they must tack to the middle to win over independent voters.
The divide is complicated by the fact that the party's losses disproportionately hit moderates, purging the ranks of conservatives who call themselves "Blue Dogs," a coalition that lost more than half of its members. Liberals who are Pelosi's natural constituency now make up a greater percentage of House Democrats.
Her decision to seek a new term as party leader has also set off a messy struggle between Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, currently the No. 2 Democrat, and Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, the current No. 3.
Hoyer is widely viewed as the voice of moderate Democrats in leadership, although his list of public supporters includes powerful liberals. Clyburn is the most powerful African-American in Congress. The two are competing for the second-in-command position in the minority in a contest that has taken on racial overtones in recent days with the decision of the Congressional Black Caucus to endorse Clyburn.
Democratic officials say Pelosi has urged Clyburn to bow out of the race and run for a lesser leadership job, with an additional promise of a newly created face-saving position on a key committee. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss private discussions.
Kristie Greco, a spokeswoman for Clyburn, declined to confirm Pelosi's move, but said her boss remains a candidate and "The CBC wants to see this come to a vote."
Other Democrats, eager for a smooth transition, note that if Pelosi were to withdraw, it would avoid a face-off between Hoyer and Clyburn.
"It's still in play," Matheson said. But, he added, "without an alternative stepping up and saying, 'Vote for me instead,' it makes it a little more difficult."
Even the timetable for the selection of leaders has become embroiled in the controversy.

Short sales – a real estate transaction in which the homeowner needs to sell the property, but owes more on the mortgage than the home currently is worth – continue to dominate the housing market, but these real estate transactions aren't for everyone.
Making sense for my Readers:
- Typically with a short sale,
the homeowner is underwater and has experienced a financial hardship such
as a job loss. To limit the damage to his credit rating, a homeowner
may attempt to work with his lender to negotiate a short sale. Not
only must the bank approve of the short sale itself, it also must agree to
the price, since the bank will accept the difference as a loss.
- Unlike foreclosures, in
which the owner has walked away and the bank is looking to unload a vacant
– and sometimes vandalized – property, a short sale isn't a distressed
home that will sell at an extremely low price. According to data
from RealtyTrac, short sales typically sold for nearly 10 percent less
than the market price in the first quarter of 2011, whereas foreclosures
sold at an average discount of 35 percent.
- Home buyers wanting to
purchase a short sale must have patience. In most cases, when a
buyer makes an offer on a house, he receives a response from the seller
within a few days, or even hours. With a short sale, the bank must
approve of the sale and bank representatives are overloaded with
cases. It may take 30 days or longer for a buyer to receive a
response from the bank.
- In a traditional real estate
transaction, it is common for a home buyer who currently owns his home to
make his offer contingent on selling his current home. In short
sales, most banks will not approve an offer that is contingent on the
buyer selling his current home, as too many things can go wrong.
- Banks also typically won't consider short-sale
offers that have inspection contingencies in them, so buyers can either do
an inspection prior to making an offer or forego an inspection altogether.

Now Serving Filipinos in the United States of America
and the World VIA Online HD Audio
Filipino Radio Keeps FilAms Tuned In
New York - Radio is the fastest way of providing news and information to the
public. Because of it's accessibility, the public depends on it for newsbreaking
stories. It also speeds up communication between two parties who can be
hooked through the simple technology of radio airwaves and telecommunication.
In the United States, more specifically the FilAm community in Metro New York,
radio broadcast is more than just a source of news. For many who have to deal
with the loneliness of being separated from their loved ones, it's a constant
companion, a friend. To these people, their day will not be complete if they were
not able to tune in to their favorite programs which varies from dialogues to
dramas, entertainment, and live broadcast in Manila.
This is how Filipino immigrants regard Radio Pinoy, a radio network that operates
24 hours a day, seven days a week. Radio Pinoy is considered the official radio
station of Filipinos in most parts of New York and New Jersey.

Guest Post: A Guide to Using Instagram in the Classroom
French and Spanish Word of the Week:
I like to introduce a new word about once a week. Sometimes I choose a word that students have asked me about in class, or I chose the word based on the time of year. For example, this year at Thanksgiving I introduced the French word for "turkey." It is my hope that students think of this word while they are eating their Thanksgiving dinner.
Sometimes I post a picture of the topics on an upcoming quiz as a reminder, and other times I post resources that are available to them. Below, I posted a screenshot of an online practice game. Students know I am available and can ask any questions they have.
Even better than teaching a new French or Spanish word, I love to get my students to write comments or answer questions in a foreign language. Sometimes I offer extra credit or a sticker to the first person to answer correctly. Below, I asked students to describe Tom Brady using a new Spanish adjective. I also told the students how to say the words to a Disney song in French, but I asked them what the literal translation is.
Whenever I see something relevant to what we're doing in class, I post it to my Instagram for the students to see. When we learned that "soy" means "I am," I had to post a joke about it.
I post pictures of things that are relevant to French and Spanish culture. Pictures of my travels, pictures of interesting world events, and anything about life in a foreign country is a great way to make connections. Through Instagram, I taught my students about April Fool's Day in France, posted pictures of it in my classroom, and even showed them a joke I saw. I was hoping one of my students would translate it for me.
- Showcase student work - Take a photo or screenshot of exemplary student work to share with parents and the school.
- Cross promote - Make connections with other classes, teachers, and schools.
- Give Support - Post inspirational quotes and create or a self-esteem boost for students and the class.
- Check-in - Make it a place for students to post questions. Sometimes other students have the answers, too.

Geneva/Sao Paolo — On the eve of the World Hepatitis Summit in Sao Paolo, the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) today announced that it had secured deals for generic hepatitis C medicines for as low as US$1.40 per day, or $120 per 12-week treatment course for the two key medicines sofosbuvir and daclatasvir.
In the US, pharmaceutical corporation Gilead launched sofosbuvir at $1,000 per pill in 2013, and Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) launched daclatasvir at $750 per pill in 2015, leading to the original price tag of $147,000 for a person's 12-week combination treatment course. The corporations have also been charging exorbitant prices in many developing countries, paralyzing the launch of national treatment programs and causing treatment rationing in many countries around the world.
"What good is a breakthrough medicine that people cannot afford?" asked Jessica Burry, Pharmacist for MSF's Access Campaign. "Pharmaceutical corporations price hepatitis C medicines far out of reach for people paying out of pocket around the world, and also for many governments struggling to provide treatment in the public sectors; but the prices for generic versions keep coming down. Governments must use every tool in their toolbox to fight for access to lower-priced generics so they can scale up treatment for the millions of people who need it; they should follow the lead of countries like Malaysia and issue compulsory licenses when patents block people's access to this life-saving treatment."
In 2015, MSF started procuring sofosbuvir and daclatasvir from Gilead and BMS through their 'access programs' at a price of $1,400 to $1,800 per 12-week treatment. Today, MSF pays a fraction of that, at $120, sourced from quality-assured generic manufacturers.
An estimated 71 million people have chronic hepatitis C infection worldwide, 72 per cent of whom live in low- and middle-income countries. Direct-acting antiviral medicines (DAAs) represent a treatment breakthrough for people with hepatitis C, with cure rates of up to 95%, and with far fewer side effects than previous treatments. Yet access to DAAs has remained limited because pharmaceutical corporations charge unaffordable prices, leading many countries to reserve treatment only for people with the most advanced stages of the disease. By the end of 2016, three years after sofosbuvir was launched, only an estimated 2.1 million people globally had been treated with the medicines, leaving 69 million people still without access.
These high prices have also put a major strain on health systems in wealthy countries, in particular, those enacting universal health care. Treatment is being rationed in countries such as Australia, Canada, Italy and the US, in addition to developing countries, and is a stark reminder of the early days of HIV treatment.
"Almost two decades ago, MSF and others worked hard to get access to generics and bring down prices for HIV medicines," said Mickael Le Paih of MSF in Cambodia, where MSF treats people living with hepatitis C. "History is repeating itself with hepatitis C-the medicines we need are again too expensive, but we are finding ways to make treatment affordable so that our patients can be cured."
MSF treats people with hepatitis C in 11 countries. Since 2015, MSF has provided DAA treatment to nearly 5,000 people with hepatitis C. Of those who have completed treatment to date, the overall cure rate – measured by 'sustained viral response' – is 94.9 per cent.

The U.S.market for sensors and controls for building-energy-management systems (BEMS) will rise at a 17-percent compound annual growth rate to $2.14 billion in 2020, while the European market will reach $1.93 billion in 2020, a 19-percent compound annual growth rate, according to a Lux Research report.
The report, "Sensors and Controls for BEMS: Providing the Neural Network to Net-Zero Energy," says the market growth will be fueled by the strength of advanced technologies, downward price pressure, and government incentives.
Key to this growth is a slew of advanced non-invasive, cost-effective, and quick-to-install sensor and control technologies that can overcome the capital barriers of installing building-energy-management systems in an estimated 5.8 million commercial buildings under 50,000 sq ft in the United States and 4.5 million similar buildings in Europe.
Advanced sensors and controls promise to significantly reduce the payback period of building energy management system investments for the small building market—the highest-hanging but plumpest fruit in the global building stock," said Ryan Castilloux, Lux research analyst and the lead author of the report.
Lux Research developed a demand-side forecast to quantify opportunities for BEMS applications and building-automation-system (BAS) applications. Among its findings:
• The market is shifting toward BEMS. The building energy management market is rapidly transitioning from a BAS-dominant one to a BEMS-reliant one. In 2020, about 77 percent of the $2.14 billion United States market will comprise BEMS applications, and 40 percent will come from buildings of less than 50,000 sq ft.
• Policy is a promising enabler. In the United States, 20 states have energy efficiency resource standards that will boost uptake of efficient building systems. The European Union has been similarly aggressive, with goals such as 20 percent lower energy consumption levels by 2020. Together, these policies will foster growth of the market for sensors and controls.
• Opportunities at the bottom of the pyramid. Developers such as Lutron, Leviton, Johnson Controls, and Honeywell will embrace advanced sensors and controls and shift strategies in order to hone in on buildings below 50,000 sq ft. In 2020, the number of such buildings with BEMs will be almost 40 times what it is today. The report is part of Lux Research's Efficient Building Systems Intelligence service.

The Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship is set to thrill an expectant Bank Holiday crowd at Thruxton next weekend (3/4 May) as Britain's top motor sport series makes its annual visit to Hampshire.
Billed as one of the most highly anticipated seasons in the series' illustrious history after announcing a huge 31-car grid – including seven former champions – the BTCC has already made an impact in 2014 after events at Brands Hatch and Donington Park.
The Hampshire speed bowl of Thruxton poses an altogether different challenge, however, as it's the fastest and most daunting circuit on the BTCC calendar.
Wheel-to-wheel racing at more than 140mph is not for the feint hearted, which is just one of the reasons why the event attracts so many fans from across the county and indeed country. The high speed flat-out nature of the circuit highlights the thrills and spills of top-level touring car racing in all its glory, where bumping and grinding is all part of the action.
With a triple-header of BTCC contests and a whole host of support races on this blockbuster bill of British motor sport, it's little wonder that the event is renowned as one of the biggest on the Hampshire sporting calendar.
Story so far: It's tied at the top!
The opening rounds of the BTCC season have already produced five different winners from just six races, highlighting the ultra competitiveness of the 2014 field.
Four of the seven former champions on the grid have stood on the top step of the podium so far, as has MG KX Clubcard Fuel Save young gun Sam Tordoff, who won at Donington Park on his 25th birthday weekend.
The pre-season favourites are at the sharp end of the standings with battle lines beginning to take shape. Reigning champion Andrew Jordan and MG's Jason Plato are tied at the top having both enjoyed one stellar weekend apiece. The Honda Civic of Jordan took pole position and two race victories at Brands Hatch, whilst Plato just fell short of repeating the feat at Donington with a pole, a win and a second place finish.
The top two are just a point ahead of 2012 champion Gordon Shedden, who produced a heart stopping final corner move on the BMW of Colin Turkington last time out at Donington. It was a moment that will go down in BTCC folklore as both cars slid off the track and into gravel before the Scotsman hauled his Honda Civic Tourer back on to the tarmac just ahead of the Ulsterman to take the win. The result also made history as it was the first time an 'estate' style car won a BTCC race.
Shedden's team-mate Matt Neal has been the model of consistency and is also in the title picture, just a few points behind fourth placed Turkington.
Talking point: Legends return to a happy hunting ground
Double champions Alain Menu and Fabrizio Giovanardi have both made a comeback to the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship for 2014 after some time away racing on the continent.
There are many reasons why the duo wanted to return to the hustle and bustle of Britain's tin-top spectacular, with the chance to take on Thruxton again listed as one of their ultimate challenges.
Menu scored a hat-trick of wins at the Hampshire circuit during the much loved Super Touring-era in the mid-to-late Nineties, and the Swiss superstar will be contesting his first race at the venue since 2007.
"Thruxton is a circuit that demands respect," said Alain. "It is a track I really like – it's very fast and a unique challenge. I used to love racing there and I'm really looking forward to going back."
Giovanardi has an even better record around the fearsome ribbon of tarmac, having scored seven victories there, including an incredible four wins on his way to securing his maiden BTCC title back in 2007. The Italian is also looking forward to revisiting Thruxton, saying, "I love the high speed that makes the difference between the fast and slow driver. The fast corners give you adrenaline and make a big challenge for the driver, and when you do make a mistake the risks are big!"
Only time will tell if these two returning legends will be able to challenge at the top of the order on a consistent basis, but with ten wins between them at the UK's fastest circuit you wouldn't bet against either one of them from spraying champagne again at Thruxton.
Local heroes: Collard closing in on first podium of 2014
Eversley-based Rob Collard has stood out as the 'best of the rest' so far this season, finishing inside the top seven in five of the opening six races. His biggest disappointment came when he spun out of third place in treacherous conditions at Donington Park earlier this month.
That podium would have put the eBay Motors BMW driver well inside the top six in the championship standings, but for now he's just one point behind race winner Tordoff down in seventh.
Collard has won seven BTCC races in his career to date but he's never been able to make it happen at his local circuit. If he is to remain in the early title picture then he'll need his luck to change around the 2.36 miles of asphalt next weekend.
Team-mate Nick Foster will also be racing at his home venue having made a steady start to the season, with a fifth place at Brands Hatch being his standout result so far.
There has been no such front-running form for Fleet-based Daniel Welch, however, as his STP Racing with Sopp + Sopp team deserves huge credit for simply making the grid. The squad decided to implement some comprehensive changes to its pair of Protons ahead of the 2014 season and this led to Welch missing the first event altogether. He made it out at the last moment for Donington Park and while the car was someway off the pace initially, Welch and the team made incredible progress as the weekend wore on to eventually hauled themselves towards the chasing pack.
The outfit will probably see the Thruxton weekend as another test session as it continues its ongoing development of the car but don't be surprised if Welch and his team-mate Ollie Jackson is challenging for points.
Timetable and Tickets
Three BTCC races will take place on Sunday, with the entire race day being broadcast live and in high definition on ITV4 from 11:00am.
In addition to the BTCC, there'll be a plethora of races on the support bill. The Dunlop MSA Formula Ford Championship of Great Britain – the series that launched the careers of a host of top drivers including Ayrton Senna and Jenson Button – represents single-seater racing. Sportscar racing fans will get their fix with action from the Michelin Ginetta GT4 Supercup, Porsche Carrera Cup GB and Ginetta Junior Championship, whilst the Renault UK Clio Cup – often seen as a stepping-stone to reaching the BTCC – will also feature on the huge bill of British racing.
Tickets for the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship at Thruxton 3/4 May are available from just £10, with free entry for children aged 12 and under. For more information visit www.thruxtonracing.co.uk. All admission includes access to Sunday's lunchtime autograph session with the BTCC drivers in the pit lane as well as free parking.
