HELLO MR.C
HERE IS A SUMMARY,
BACK IN NOV '05
I BOUGHT THE PROPERTY
IN QUESTION I KNEW NOTHING
ABOUT REAL ESTATE
AND HOW INCREDIBLY CORRUPT IS IT!
AS OF NOW I BELIEVE
THE PEOPLE IN JAIL ARE INNOCENT
AND ALL THE FREE ONE ARE GUILTY
A TRAVESTY.
THE SELLERS AND CREW
BEGUN BY CHANGING THE SQ FOOTAGE
OF THE BLDG FROM 2136 SQ FT CHANGED TO 2736 SQ FT
THEY THEN COMPARED THE BLDG TO MUCH
LARGER STRUCTURES OUTSIDE OF THE AREA
THE PRICE WAS INFLATED BY $ 400,000.00 US
TO A TOTAL OF $ 640,000.00
THE HOUSE WAS A CRACK DEN
RUN BY A RASTA GANG
I COULD NOT EVEN STEP INTO MY OWN HOUSE
UNDER THREAT OF DEATH
I SERVED AS A FORWARD OBSERVER SNIPER IN THE US ARMY
BACK IN THE VIET NAM ERA
SO, I APPLIED THE SAME METHODS
AND TOOK OUT ALL THE CRACKS AND RASTAS
ONE BY ONE, TOOK ME MORE THAN 2 YEARS
MEANTIME THEY KEPT ON RESELLING AND RESELLING MY MORTGAGE
SO THE FORECLOSURE WAS ALWAYS RESTARTING
THE BLDG IS TOTALLY DESTROYED DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF ONE LEFT ANYTHING
SUCH AS TOILETS BATHTUBS KITCHENS ETC
IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY BE REOCCUPIED BY OTHER CRACK HEADS
SO I AM ACCUSING THEM OF THE FOLLOWING..........
 
1.- FALSIFIED APPRAISALS
2.- FRAUD
3.- BREACH OF CONTRACT
4.- LACK OF DUE DILIGENCE
5.- REVERSE RED LINING
6-  ETHNIC DISCRIMINATION
7.- BREAKING BANKING LAWS (NY)FALSE EVERYTHING
8.- AGEISM ( I AM 72)
9.- DESTRUCTION OF CREDIT
( IN ORDER TO JUSTIFIED THE 80-20 NO MONEY DOWN BALLOON MORTGAGE AT 12% INTEREST, ( MY CREDIT WAS 763 FICO SCORE, BEFORE I BOUGHT THE BLDG)
10- I D THEFT
 11- RICO CONSPIRACY  (ACTED LIKE RACKETEERING, A MOB)
THE LAW SUIT IS FOR $11,000,000.00 US
AND THEY HAVE ALREADY DEFAULTED TWICE
BY ALL MEANS THE JUDGE SHOULD RULE IN MY FAVOR
BUT THE SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY CORRUPTED
THAT ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN  IN THE WAY TO JUSTICE
AND I NEED SOMEONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO WORK AT THAT COURT
DAY TO DAY
BUT IS COMPETENT ,KNOWLEDGEABLE, HONEST!
PIE IN THE SKY, MAYBE?

Strong Meteor Shower Expected Tonight

  •  AFP/Graphic – Map illustrating the annual Perseid meteor shower. The night sky will sparkle with "falling stars" …

The annual Perseid meteor shower is expected to put on a good show this week for those willing to get up in the wee hours of the morning and wait patiently for the shooting stars.

In North America, the best time to watch will be between midnight to 5 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 12, but late Tuesday night and also Wednesday night could prove fruitful, weather permitting.

The Perseids are always reliable, and sometimes rather spectacular. The only things that puts a damper on the August show are bad weather or bright moonlight. Unfortunately this week, as the Perseids reach their peak Tuesday and Wednesday nights, the moon will be high in the sky, outshining the fainter meteors.

Still, skywatchers around the globe will have a good chance of spotting the brighter meteors. Some already are enjoying the show.

Already underway

The Perseids are bits of debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, which has laid down several streams of debris, each in a slightly different location, over the centuries as it orbits the sun. Every August, Earth passes through these debris streams, which spread out over time.

"They are typically fast, bright and occasionally leave persistent trains," says Joe Rao, SPACE.com's Skywatching Columnist. "And every once in a while, a Perseid fireball will blaze forth, bright enough to be quite spectacular and more than capable to attract attention even in bright moonlight."

Low numbers of Perseids, including some bright fireballs, have already been reported as Earth began entering the stream in late July. Seasoned observers have counted up to 25 per hour already, or nearly one every two minutes.

Most meteors are no bigger than a pea. They vaporize as they enter Earth's atmosphere, creating bright streaks across the sky.

The Perseids appear to emanate from the constellation Perseus, which rises high in the sky around midnight and is nearly overhead by dawn. Like most meteor showers, the hours between midnight and daybreak are typically the best time to watch, because that's when the side of Earth you are on is rotating into the direction of Earth's travels through space, so meteors are "scooped up" by the atmosphere at higher rates, much like a car's windshield ends the lives of more bugs than does the rear bumper.

Astronomers expect up to 200 meteors per hour in short bursts of up to 15 minutes or so. But many of the fainter meteors will simply not be visible due to moonlight, and rates will go down even more for those in urban areas. More likely a typical observer under reasonably dark skies might hope to see a meteor every couple minutes when the bursts come, and fewer during lulls.

When to watch

The best time to watch is between midnight and dawn Wednesday. Forecasters say the best stretch could come between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. ET (1-2 a.m. PT), which would be after daybreak in Europe. Some Perseids might be visible late Tuesday night, and Wednesday night into Thursday morning could prove worthwhile, too.

Meteor forecasting is still in its infancy, however, so the best bet for anyone truly hungry to spot shooting stars is to get in as much observing time as possible from around 11 p.m. Tuesday night until dawn Wednesday, and if you miss that show, try the same time frame Wednesday evening into Thursday morning.

Meteors should be visible in the pre-dawn hours, weather permitting, all around the Northern Hemisphere.

"Earth passes through the densest part of the debris stream sometime on Aug. 12," said Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "Then, you could see dozens of meteors per hour."

Viewing tips

The best location is far from city and suburban lights. Ideally, find a structure, mountain or tree to block the moon.  Then scan as much of the sky as possible. The meteors can appear anywhere, heading in any direction. If you trace their paths backward, they'll all point to the constellation Perseus.

People in locations where any chill might occur should dress warmer than they think necessary to allow for prolonged viewing.

Seasoned skywatchers advise using a blanket or lounge chair for comfort, so you can lie back and look up for long periods. Allow at least 15 minutes for your eyes to fully adjust to the darkness. Then expect meteors to be sporadic: You might see two in a row, or several minutes could go by between shooting stars.

Avid meteor watchers might want to try scanning the northeastern horizon from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. local time (your local time, wherever you are) for Perseids that graze the horizon.

"Earthgrazers are meteors that approach from the horizon and skim the atmosphere overhead like a stone skipping across the surface of a pond," Cooke explained. "They are long, slow and colorful – among the most beautiful of meteors." He notes that an hour of watching may net only a few of these at most, but seeing even one can make the whole night worthwhile.

Medical Marijuana, Inc. Signs Agreements With Additional Collectives in Northern California; Invites City of Oakland to Learn About Company's Cost-Effective Tax Collection System

  • Press Release
  • Source: Medical Marijuana, Inc.
  • On Tuesday August 11, 2009, 4:20 am EDT

MARINA DEL REY, CA--(Marketwire - 08/11/09) - Medical Marijuana, Inc. (Pinksheets:MJNA - News) announced today that MOU agreements are now in place with an additional four medical marijuana collectives from different counties in the Northern California region. All four collectives have signed on to implement MJNA's Stored Value Platform System in their respective businesses.

The Stored Value Platform System, a Point-of-Sale system, is a hallmark element of Medical Marijuana's business solutions package. This stored value-based system, once in place, helps businesses that are dispensing medical marijuana more efficiently and securely manage the tasks of revenue and taxation collection. The ease of access to certifiably secure transactions lessens the risk of loss at each level. Both provider and patient benefit greatly from this revolutionary program designed by MJNA.

The addition of collectives within the top half of the Golden State is also important to Medical Marijuana, Inc. as part of its effort to persuade at least one major Bay Area municipality to join in discussions with the Company regarding its automated tax collection solutions.

Per a special July 2009 election, the City of Oakland, CA, will become the first U.S. city to tax proceeds on the sale of medical marijuana. Approximately 80 percent of voters residing within city limits chose to support the initiative, which was adopted by many of the city's medical marijuana collectives and the Oakland City Council as part of the solution to Oakland's longstanding budget shortfall.

By employing Medical Marijuana's tax collection system, the City of Oakland could cost-effectively implement the necessary infrastructure to collect on every sale made within city limits by licensed collectives and collect those taxes on a daily basis. The POS system automatically recognizes the collective's tax ID number, state and local tax rates and then provides Automated Clearing House settlement of the taxes and routes the amount to the City's appointed financial institution. Taxes can be collected on a daily basis, providing an economic windfall for the city of Oakland and any other municipality recognizing the advantages of this model.

Tax Collection

The Stored Value Platform System will provide verifiable solutions to manage the difficult task of revenue and taxation collection. The "Point of Sale" (POS) system will recognize the dispensary's tax ID number, state and local tax rates and then provide "Automated Clearing House" (ACH) settlement of the taxes to the proper financial institutions. The customers of the dispensary are issued a plastic debit card or medical revenue card. The ease of access to certifiably secure transactions lessens the risk of loss at each level of the transaction.

Internal Management

All collectives/dispensaries in the U.S. are cash businesses. This presents a number of challenges. Dispensary owners risk employee theft and possible competition for sales with unsupervised employees. Our stored value card also eliminates the risks of carrying cash. For the investor looking to open more than one dispensary, this card allows him the ease of mind of knowing all transactions are accounted for in all of his locations.

Solutions

Medical Marijuana, Inc. is developing a suite of solutions to deliver an efficient and secure infrastructure for the Medical Marijuana Industry that will provide the tools to industry operators to effectively manage their businesses with the confidence that they are in full compliance.

ABOUT MEDICAL MARIJUANA, INC.

Medical Marijuana, Inc. is the first public company to recognize the vast and unequaled opportunities that exist in the rapidly expanding medical marijuana industry. The scientific recognition of marijuana as a powerful medicine, and as an effective, non-narcotic pain reliever, has brought legalized marijuana use to the forefront of mainstream discussion thus opening the door for safe and lucrative investment opportunities.

Medical Marijuana, Inc. has developed a suite of turnkey business and management solutions for the fledgling medical marijuana collective industry in California. The growing number of other states that have legalized the use of medical marijuana have yet to establish a system for the legalized commercial production and sale of the medicine. These regions are also strong potential targets for Medical Marijuana, Inc.'s products and services down the road. It is likely that other states will follow California's basic lead as the Golden State more specifically defines the regulations and protocol that are shaping the supply-side of the legal medical marijuana sector.

Dogs Sniffing Out Health Problems

DESCRIPTIONPeter DaSilva for The New York Times Dogs like Kobi, a yellow Labrador, have participated in cancer detection studies.

Catching up on my weekend Web reading, I came across an interesting video from National Geographic, about dogs who sniff out cancer and health problems associated with diabetes.

One of the dogs featured, a collie named Tinker, began whining and barking when his owner, who has diabetes, experienced dangerous drops in blood sugar. Although Tinker wasn’t trained at first, his reactions to the hypoglycemic attacks led to further training as a qualified “hypo alert” dog. The video also features the work of the British research center, Cancer and Bio-Detection Dogs.

The center has 17 rescue dogs at various stages of training that will be paired up with diabetic owners, including many children, reports Reuters.

Last year, researchers from Queen’s University in Belfast decided to investigate anecdotal reports from dog owners who said their pets warned them of hypoglycemic attacks. They surveyed 212 dog owners, all of whom had Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disorder that prevents the body from producing insulin. A regular concern with Type 1 is that blood sugar will drop precipitously low, causing a person to fall unconscious.

Among the dog owners, 138, or 65 percent, said their dog had shown a behavioral reaction to at least one of their hypoglycemic episodes. About a third of the animals had reacted to 11 or more events, with 31.9 percent of animals reacting to 11 or more events. The dogs got their owners’ attention by barking and whining, (61.5 percent), licking (49.2 percent), nuzzling (40.6 percent), jumping on top of them (30.4 percent), and/or staring intently at their faces (41.3 percent). A small percentage of the dogs reportedly tremble in fear at the time of a hypoglycemic attack.

To learn more, watch the three-minute video or read the transcript on the National Geographic Web site.

Allioli, the Catalan Accompaniment

Garlic.Matt Rourke/Associated Press

Ed’s approach to allioli is the same as mine - use a blender. The one time a tried a mortar and pestle I nearly passed out. - MB

The typical accompaniment to a rice dish cooked in a paella is allioli. This is not to be confused with its French near-homonym, aïoli, which is basically garlicked mayonnaise. The Catalan allioli is garlic and oil and salt – no egg yolk except when there is – crushed and stirred in a mortar until a fragile emulsion is formed. It is more akin to a Cuban mojo than to anything French, but it doesn’t contain citrus juice.

Many of the Spanish/Catalan rice dishes I’ve been tinkering with have been full of pork fat and the spices that go into sausages of various kinds and have been so in-your-face flavorful that I haven’t thought to remind you that a bowl of allioli is a nice thing to have to hand. The other day, however, I needed to make a purely vegetarian rice – artichokes, green beans, young fennel, onions, peppers – and found that allioli was no longer optional: even with a nice sofrito and a tasty vegetable stock, the dish needed an extra jolt.

I’m generally ready for laborious manual kitchen tasks – knife-chopping meat; shelling peas; whisking mayonnaise; shredding flank steak to make ropa vieja: sign me up. But mortars and pestles are just not my style. So I put three big, juicy, oily cloves of this season’s garlic into a container along with half a cup of olive oil and a big pinch of salt, and I obliterated this with an immersion blender, forming an emulsion that lasted longer than the eight nanoseconds that a mortar-and-pestle alloli tends to hold, at least when I try to make it.

This, Jackie and I and our guests drizzled over our no-pork-fat “paella,” to great effect.

Epilogue: There was some left over, and the next night we spooned it onto the taken-out remains of an imperfect pizza we couldn’t or wouldn’t finish in an East Village restaurant a few nights earlier. I won’t say that the allioli turned it into the best reheated pizza we’d ever tasted, but it certainly moved it up a point and a half on a zero-to-ten scale. I could also see it drizzled over lots of other things too: grilled meat or fish; roasted vegetables. Just about anything not involving caramel sauce and whipped cream, in fact.

Post-trauma stress lingers in NYC 9/11 survivors

 

NEW YORK – People who were heavily exposed to the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center had elevated risks of developing post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms even five years later, about four times that of the general public, according to a study released Tuesday.

The study by the city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found elevated levels of PTSD symptoms among the more than 46,000 people who were surveyed in 2006-2007. The study is based on data from a public health registry that tracks the health effects of Sept. 11.

Among survey respondents, 19 percent reported having symptoms, about four times the rate usually seen among adults. When the registry first surveyed people in 2003-2004, it was 14 percent.

Some in the first survey got better, while some remained where they were, and others got worse, said Lorna Thorpe, deputy commissioner for epidemiology and a co-author of the study.

"This is really the largest burden in terms of health conditions," Thorpe said.

The study found that more than half of the participants who reported having stress symptoms said they had not obtained treatment in the past year. The registry has begun outreach to get survey respondents referred for medical help, and the city offers free physical and mental health care to eligible people affected by the attacks.

Passers-by such as commuters and tourists were the most heavily affected, with 23 percent of them reporting symptoms in the latest survey.

The study contained better news about asthma. While those who developed respiratory symptoms soon after the attacks were still being diagnosed with asthma some years later, rates among people who first showed symptoms after 2003 were consistent with normal asthma rates.

"What this study shows fairly thoroughly, there was a very strong association between the intense exposure" on Sept. 11 and the days immediately following, in terms of developing asthma, Thorpe said. "There were lingering effects, but those lingering effects have ameliorated."

While asthma cases rose most sharply right after attacks, they were still being diagnosed after some years had passed. The study found that 10 percent of participants had been newly diagnosed with the condition between the attacks and the 2006-2007 survey period.

Rescue and recovery workers had the highest rates of new asthma diagnoses, and their risk was even higher if they were at the World Trade Center site on 9/11 itself or worked there for longer than 90 days. People who had to deal with heavy layers of dust in their homes or offices also had a higher risk of developing asthma.

The World Trade Center Health Registry was established in 2003 to track the long-term health effects of ground zero exposure on workers, volunteers, and residents. More than 71,000 people registered, and surveys on their health status was collected in 2003-2004 and 2006-2007. More than 46,000 registrants took part in both surveys.

The study was conducted by the health department and the federal Centers for Disease Control and was released in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

View Article  NEW HIV STRAIN FOUND

New HIV strain discovered in woman from Cameroon

WASHINGTON – A new strain of the virus that causes AIDS has been discovered in a woman from the African nation of Cameroon. It differs from the three known strains of human immunodeficiency virus and appears to be closely related to a form of simian virus recently discovered in wild gorillas, researchers report in Monday's edition of the journal Nature Medicine.

The finding "highlights the continuing need to watch closely for the emergence for new HIV variants, particularly in western central Africa," said the researchers, led by Jean-Christophe Plantier of the University of Rouen, France.

The three previously known HIV strains are related to the simian virus that occurs in chimpanzees.

The most likely explanation for the new find is gorilla-to-human transmission, Plantier's team said. But they added they cannot rule out the possibility that the new strain started in chimpanzees and moved into gorillas and then humans, or moved directly from chimpanzees to both gorillas and humans.

The 62-year-old patient tested positive for HIV in 2004, shortly after moving to Paris from Cameroon, according to the researchers. She had lived near Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, but said she had no contact with apes or bush meat, a name often given to meat from wild animals in tropical countries.

The woman currently shows no signs of AIDS and remains untreated, though she still carries the virus, the researchers said.

How widespread this strain is remains to be determined. Researchers said it could be circulating unnoticed in Cameroon or elsewhere. The virus' rapid replication indicates that it is adapted to human cells, the researchers reported.

Their research was supported by the French Health Watch Institute, the French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis and Rouen University Hospital.

A separate paper, also in Nature Medicine, reports that people with genital herpes remain at increased risk of HIV infection even after the herpes sores have healed and the skin appears normal.

Researchers led by Drs. Lawrence Corey and Jia Zhu of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found that long after the areas where the herpes sores existed seem to be clear, they still have immune-cell activity that can encourage HIV infection.

Herpes is marked by recurring outbreaks and has been associated with higher rates of infection with HIV. It had been thought that the breaks in the skin were the reason for higher HIV rates, but a study last year found that treatment of herpes with drugs did not reduce the HIV risk.

The researchers tested the skin of herpes patients for several weeks after their sores had healed and found that, compared with other genital skin, from twice to 37 times more immune cells remained at the locations where the sores had been.

HIV targets immune cells and in laboratory tests the virus reproduced three to five times faster in tissue from the healed sites as in tissue from other areas.

"Understanding that even treated (herpes) infections provide a cellular environment conducive to HIV infection suggests new directions for HIV prevention research," commented Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease.

That study was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Tietze Foundation.
