Can a Bank Come After Me After I've Sold My Home in a Short Sale?

In a word: yes. After defaulting on your mortgage payments, a home enters into foreclosure. You have two choices: enter into foreclosure or sell the property in a short sale and hope that it covers the debt that is owed. It is after the home is sold in a short sale that the issue of a deficiency judgment even occurs--after a home is sold in a short sale and the monetary amount is less than the amount owed to the lender.

This deficiency judgment, a court order, may be an issue if the lender decides to sue for payment of the remaining mortgage. It is ultimately decided by a court-sanctioned "final amount" in most cases, but as an appraisal of net loss in others.

So, in going after the original homeowner, co-signer, parties involved in the purchasing end, all of these individuals are responsible for paying back the debt incurred in owning the home. Then, if the amount owed cannot be repaid, the lender can take these people to court. Granted, there is the option of avoiding foreclosure by exchanging the deed of the property to the lender, called deed in lieu of foreclosure, but even then, the lender can still sue over the deficiency judgment.

Can a Bank Come After Me After I've Sold My Home in a Short Sale?

Yet, not all lenders decide to taken these former homeowners to court. First of all, it depends on the type of foreclosure--judicial or non-judicial. It also depends on the state, since certain states have different rules and regulations regarding foreclosure. Another factor depends on the actual terms of the mortgage. Finally, the lender has to take into account the different costs that are factored in, including court costs, interest payments, penalties for pre-payments, and back principal payments. However, it all comes down to whether or not the lender feels that he/she can collect the deficiency judgment and the ultimate cost that will be incurred to collect this judgment.

During the process, the homeowner must reveal his/her net worth, which will help the lender decide whether or not to pursue this case.

Bottom Line:

So you've probably found this entry because you are either facing foreclosure or have already foreclosed and are wondering if you are going to be on the hook for any more money. The only way to know is by reading through your foreclosure or short sale papers. Most of the big banks will have some sort of deficiency clause in there, but that doesn't always mean that they will actually go after you. It costs them money to cary out a deficiency judgment and if you don't have any they will just move on. That being said, if you have just walked away from your house because you were underwater, well, if you were the bank wouldn't you go after you?

If you are considering foreclosure, you may want to enlist the aid of an attorney and get them to rework your contract to avoid a deficiency judgment. Government-paid foreclosure experts that help with loan modifications, relocation assistance, etc. can also help in getting a deficiency judgment removed. You have little leverage when foreclosing, but certainly more than after you have signed all the papers.

This Is the End of Our World

The End of Our World.

Whenever the Daily News announces a major event, catastrophe or even wild weather our imaginations 'fire up' the well-told story of 'The End of the World'. When we have a string of these 'Events' occurring within a short time then we believe strongly that something must be going on! We feel an urgency to do something.

Growing Consciousness.

This Is the End of Our World

Pondering, postulating and proving our understanding of Our World is no longer left to those clever people from the past like Plato, Aristotle, Einstein. Once a certain 'consciousness' permeates the population, a 'collective thesis and consensus' unconsciously passes around in our 'psyches'. This 'mass unconscious acceptance' is what begins to enter our minds without us realizing it. Many examples of how this 'mass consciousness' is played out can be seen when big and small unrelated groups get together and decide on a common; belief, understanding and outcome. An example of how a group of people can be driven to a 'collective acceptance' in their action and understanding is through Fear. Mobs with the same ideas act as one, crowds panic as one, etc, etc. This is however a negative view of this phenomenon.

Love is Everything we need.

Love is to the Universe, like water is to fish. Sustained by it, nurtured, cared for and protected. Love initiates, gives the impulse to change and is THE driving force in our Human evolution. Love is the ultimate; energy, light, dimension, consciousness and understanding. Energy becomes matter. Love is made physical. We see this reflected everywhere. The 'Charkra' or 'Spinning Wheels' are at the center of this conversion. A Portal to You. Love is drawn into the Chakra Vortex. It is captured, slowed down, converted and channeled into 'Rivers of Consciousness'. Consciousness is converted to Sensations. Sensations are converted into Awareness. Awareness is converted to truth. Truth becomes matter. When we believe something is real, it becomes so. Our conscious and subconscious thinking creates our reality simply because we 'believe' it is so. Why does Religion play such a big part in this field of understanding?. It's the 'interface' of our; knowledge, growth, understanding and evolution. It's the discovery of our 'GOD connection'.

Electromagnetic Energy.

In my 25 years study of Electromagnetic Energy, it has come to change my thinking, belief and consequently living. For example in our understanding of how we are connected to our world and respond to it. Our own 'Inner-Sun' (Our Hearts) is the reflection of the Earth's 'Inner-Sun'. Not the Sun we can see, but the Sun inside the Sun on the next dimension. A single thought-of-God, a 'Love-Consciousness Pulse' from the deep, stimulates our 'Inner-Sun' and our own Hearts respond instantaneously. The 'Electromagnetic Ripples' are felt on the Earths Crust. This and many other Energies are the 'unseen bridges' that connect our understanding of the Spiritual and the Physical. God and Earth. Heaven and Living. The Old Agreement and The New Eden. That is why we 'collectively' fear and revel in the possibilities of the future. We know something is coming but we don't know what. Reflecting on our understanding tells us the our Old Ways of thinking and doing are rapidly changing and we are all getting 'on board' for a New Ride.

The End of the Old World.

The Old World of doing things is giving way to a New Order. The New Order will be a gradual fusion of ideas already in our 'collective consciousness', based on all the things we are working on now; freedom, prosperity, equality, spirituality, brotherhood and sisterhood, humanity, sustainability, recyclability etc, etc. The New Order will also include things we haven't even thought of yet. Where will they come from?.Who or what will send them?. The future is happening now. Who knows where we will end up, the important thing to remember is, we are here for the ride of our life!

Water Pollution Problems: A Real Issue

Water pollution has always been a major problem to the environment. With industrialization in major areas and urban cities growing the water around them just keeps getting polluted. The sad part about the whole ordeal is that water pollution can be prevented in a lot of cases.

A lot of water pollution is caused by factories near rivers and lakes doing illegal dumping. This hurts wildlife because the pollution will flow down the river hurting plants and animals. In some cases it can be fatal.

Another big form of water pollution comes from fisherman and yacht owners. People who are just out to enjoy the sun will throw their waste overboard or have a leaky engine. A lot of them don't care because it doesn't usually directly effect how their day is going to turn out.

Water Pollution Problems: A Real Issue

The nice thing is that if your boat is caught illegally dumping or not meeting basic standards you can be forced to pay a large fine. By putting laws such as these into effect water pollution has decreased some. However, it still isn't anywhere nears what it needs to be.

There have also been rules and regulations given to transport lines, especially concerning fuel tankers. When a fuel tanker ends up sinking it releases thousands upon thousands of gallons of fuel into the ocean. This fuel gets all over marine life and can cause serious damage to beaches and coral.

Another type of water pollution comes from farmers. When they spray their fields the fertilizer and insecticides can soak into the ground and get caught in a water system or river. This will then in turn hurt plant and animal life because the waterways are being poisoned.

If you think water pollution doesn't affect you then you are wrong. The pollution ends up hurting nature and poisoning fish that we may eat. On a more direct approach it can even pollute drinking water.

With so many bad side effects of water pollution it is a wonder that there isn't more being done to prevent it. The general public needs to learn more information about it so that they can learn to fight it and keep the waters clean.

Where Can You Get Huey Helicopters For Sale?

This helicopter is a multifunction military combat helicopter, which had two civil versions - the Bell 204 and the Bell 205. Anyone searching for a Huey for sale may have a hard time locating one of these rare and discontinued aircraft.

Developed in 1955 for the US Army back the last Huey Helicopter developed was in 1976. Out of more than 16,000 Huey Helicopters created, about 7,000 of them were used during the Vietnam War. Many brave pilots lost their lives in a Huey Helicopter and some aircraft were lost with about half due to combat and half due to operational procedures.

They have long since become a symbol of the USA's involvement in the Vietnam War and Huey Helicopters for sale spark excitement in any pilot who is a war buff. The Huey is one of the world's most recognized helicopters, used for missions of support, air assault, cargo transport, medical evacuation, search and rescue, electronic warfare, and ground attack. Hueys for sale are a piece of American history.

Where Can You Get Huey Helicopters For Sale?

The success of the Huey Helicopter depended on three reasons. First it had an ideal mix of cabin room, speed, and lifting capability. Secondly, the helicopter proved to be a rugged and reliable helicopter in service as it was battle ready and battle tough. Finally, the third reason was that Bell was so popular was its ability to be offered at an attractive and sold overseas.

Today it is hard to find a Huey for sale, but it is not impossible. The Blackhawk Helicopter replaced the Huey after the Vietnam Ware when the US Army phased them but they are still being used today on a limited basis. Other countries who Huey Helicopters are for sale on the open market still use them as well. And they can still be seen in air shows across the country and receive a lot of respect from those who know the history of the Huey helicopter.

Classified online sites such as craigslist are a great place to start searching for Helicopters for sale. They are also most likely to be found on an internet search than anywhere else. Google, Yahoo and other top search engines should produce some great info on these iconic helicopters. Safety should be taken into account when considering looking for a Huey for sale.

Age and condition should be two of the most important factors when searching for this aircraft. Since the youngest Huey aircraft is at least 33 years old and the fact that almost half of them were deployed during the war, it has had its share of battle. A certified aircraft mechanic should thoroughly inspect the aircraft before a purchase is made. Any equipment defects or weaknesses in the plane may be a deal breaker.

Huey Helicopters for sale is like find a sale on a little piece of American history and is popular among many pilots who had relatives who fought in the Vietnam War. They would like nothing more than to find a Huey for sale. They are out there and they are still flying. Do some research and find a solid and safe model to fly and soar the skies - but this time in peace.

Purchase Or Sale of an LLC's Member's Interest

THE SELLER
In general, the sale by a member of a limited liability company ("LLC") interest is treated as the sale of an asset separate and distinct from the underlying assets owned by the LLC. Gain or loss is recognized based upon the difference between the amount received for the LLC interest and the tax basis in the LLC interest. A member's tax basis in his or her LLC interest is equal to the amount of cash the member contributes to the LLC, the basis the member had in any property contributed, and the member's share of the LLC's debt. A member's tax basis is increased by the member's share of LLC income or gains and any additional contributions the member makes to the LLC. A member's tax basis is decreased by any cash distributions the member receives, by the basis of property distributed to the member, and by net losses the member deducts. This gain or loss is considered gain or loss from the sale or exchange of a capital asset except if the gain is attributable to "unrealized receivables and inventory." The determination of whether the capital gain or loss would be treated as long-term capital gains (held for more than one year and subject to a 15% tax rate) or short term capital gains (held for shorter than a year and subject to ordinary income tax rates) will depend on the selling member's holding period. In general, the holding period would begin when the member acquires an interest in the LLC.

THE PURCHASER
The purchase of a member's interest in an LLC is treated as the purchase of an LLC interest separate and distinct from the purchase of the underlying assets of the LLC.

The purchase of an LLC interest requires that the buyer allocate the entire purchase price to the purchase of the interest. The tax basis of the purchasing member's interest is determined under the basis provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will be generally be the cost of the interest. The purchase, however, does not affect the tax basis of the assets already owned by the LLC.  Thus, the purchasing member may be required to recognize a gain if there are appreciated assets owned by the LLC which are sold after the buyer becomes a member.

Purchase Or Sale of an LLC's Member's Interest

There is a provision in the Internal Revenue Code, Section 754, that allows the purchaser to adjust the proportionate share of the tax basis of the assets owned by the LLC  so that purchasing member can adjust his or her basis of the LLC assets to reflect the purchase price paid for the LLC interest. The basis adjustment affects only the purchasing member and not the other members of the LLC. The Internal Revenue Code Section 754 election is an elective provision.

REMAINING MEMBERS
The sale by one of the members may or may not affect the remaining members. The sale by a member can affect the LLC and the remaining members if the sale causes the LLC to terminate. If 50% or more of the total interest in the LLC's capital and profits are sold or exchanged, the LLC will be deemed to be terminated for tax purposes only. If the LLC is not terminated, the remaining members are not affected for tax purposes by the sale of an LLC interest.

The Effects of Deforestation in our World

Many of the earth's most delicate ecosystems have been affected by rampant and irresponsible deforestation. Although the dire effects are well known and documented by researches around the world, deforestation still persists by those who wish to flout the law. Why are forest ecosystems so valuable and what are the effects of deforestation in our world?

Among the ecosystems that currently exist, forest ecosystem have been widely recognized as one of the most efficient and delicate on earth. Forests are important ecosystems because they hold many important nutrients and help to recycle nutrients too. They are also important because they absorb and hold water thus making them a very rich and porous humus topsoil.

Deforestation happens when trees are cut down on a wide scale. This will lead to widespread disruption of a forest ecosystem. When a forest is cleared, the humus rich topsoil is left exposed leading to a number of dire consequences. The rain that falls on the exposed soil converts that rich topsoil into a sealed-off soil that is moist and muddy. It causes the soil to be washed easily into waterways. What is left behind is poor subsoil that leaves the land vulnerable to more natural erosion. In other words, deforestation leads to massive soil and land erosion.

The Effects of Deforestation in our World

When deforestation happens in tropical rain forests the effects are more devastating. It is because humus topsoil in tropical rain forests is known to be very thin and lacking in nutrients, so when deforestation occurs, the topsoil that is left behind is very vulnerable and will tend to wash away and erode easily. After deforestation in tropical rain forests, the only thing left is very poor nutrient, hard, clay-like subsoil that is not rich enough to sustain most forms of agriculture.

Sediments that are washed away eventually enter our drains, streams and rivers. These eroding sediments are often responsible for clogging up water channel leading to the problem of flooding. Soil erosion upsets surrounding ecosystems and has been known to be responsible for killing off the fishes and flooding reservoirs.

However despite all the ill effects, deforestation still happens around the world at alarming rates, especially in developing countries. A survey carried out by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 33.8 million trees were cleared between 1990 and 1995 in developing countries. That area would be 3 times the size of France! Why? What is happening? It is because forests are ready source of timber and wealth and after the forests are cleared, there's room for agriculture. Most of the agriculture is directed the to the planting of cash crops and grass and other crops to support greater beef promotion.

How to Keep the Environment Clean

The two aspects of our environment most invoked when we talk about keeping the environment clean are litter and water pollution. We will discuss both in this article.

Litter

Litter is ugly and it can harm people and wildlife. Picking up litter can be costly for cities and highway departments.

How to Keep the Environment Clean

Dog fouling in public places (another form of litter) is a serious health risk, particularly for young children.

Cigarette butts are another unpleasant form of litter. They may seem small, but with several trillion butts littered every year they are the number one source of litter in this county. Cigarette butts make up a large part of much urban litter and they can take up to 12 years to break down.

So how do we keep litter off our public places and keep the environment clean?
The answer is, of course, firstly educate the public to take their litter home, and when they do not, it is necessary to ensure that efficient street cleaning is provided.

Street cleaning is controlled by the Department of Public Works in all towns and cities and is usually removed by appointed contractors or the Council's own direct labor force. When it works well you will usually find that the local businesses take an active interest in assisting in streamlining the process with also making further regular consultation with the community. Street cleaning is often, but not always, carried out for extended hours, and these hours may range from 8 am until 12 or 2 pm in our big cities. Street cleaning is an absolute necessity in all modern well run cities.

Street cleansing is a manual task and labor is a significant cost. Satisfaction with the cleanliness of streets and commercial areas has improved in the UK since privatization. One reason likely for this is that previously the Council's staff had to be the policemen ensuring the efficiency of their own work. Human nature is such that to be on both sides of such a role seldom works efficiently.

Street cleansing is only a part of city housekeeping which in this article is just a part of how to keep the environment clean. The council (municipal) health department's business is to see that all the people have pure air, pure water, pure food, and are protected from contagious diseases.

Street cleaning is an important element of city housekeeping and is provided more and more by highly mechanized equipment such as through the use of street sweepers and flushers. Most streets are scheduled for cleaning at least five times per year, and paved alleys are cleaned once.

Street cleaning must always be strictly enforced, and react to events when litter will build up more quickly, but without clean water in the rivers and streams throughout the city the municipal authorities could hardly be said to be keeping the environment clean.

River Pollution

The avoidance of river pollution is if anything more essential than street cleansing, especially where the poorer population must rely on the river water for domestic and even drinking water use.

If asked how to keep the environment clean from river pollution we would have to say by collecting all sewage and treating it before allowing it to discharge back into the river downstream.

River pollution is the most devastative phenomena to health in the poor and developing. Pollution is occurring when the water shows an alteration of physical and chemical parameters such as odor, taste, colour, turbidity.

If polluted water is tested in a water quality analysis laboratory there are a number of tell-tale changes you will notice. These are exemplified by changes in total hardness, pH, chlorides etc. Expect to see BOD, and COD in increased quantities as well, among others.

River pollution is a serious problem. In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the issues involved but, at the same time, continued urbanization and industrialization and the continued growth of population produce ever-increasing amounts of waste for disposal.

Dangerously, River pollution is concentrated around urban areas. River Pollution is a major environmental problem today, but we don't seem to be making as much progress as we should. Perhaps the reason is ideological?

Where sewage treatment plants have been installed the levels of indicator bacteria and nitrogen in the discharge should be tracked to measure management performance. If a failure in discharge quality occurs the municipal authorities must act to determine changes needed in monitoring protocol to avoid any further occurrences. It is important to also report progress and recommendations to inform planning and management decision-makers. Levels of any pollutant can be measured by water quality testing methods, and once the analysis has been provided it is always important to check the data carefully against the legal standards. For example, the State of Florida sets the safe health standard for bacteria as less than 1000 faecal coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters.

The most common sources of pollution are domestic water discharges from the houses in the catchment area, and uncontrolled dumps of solid domestic wastes along tributary banks and in dry ravines. Industrial discharge can be a major cause of pollution. Each industrial discharge usually contains chemicals and organic compounds which can enter the bodies of many aquatic animals. Even ground water can be polluted from the soakage pits, septic tanks, manure, garbage, etc. and that eventually discharges to the rivers still worsening the problem.

Industrial pollutants from smaller units continue to be a problem. While most of the large and medium industrial units have put up treatment plants and are using them. 40 per cent of the industrial waste seen in one example - a whopping 4000 mld - is from small scale industries in cities and residential colonies.

Fact to Fiction: The Brutal Truth about the Practice of Stoning

“Like humans void of soul or mind, they jeered and yelled as they went about selecting their most jagged stones.” – David Hearne, excerpt from Hulagu's Web.

Stoning is a brutal and outdated practice that is kept alive only by Muslims under Sharia rule. Although it has been practiced since biblical times, every other culture has systematically ceased the practice in favor of more humane forms of punishment. The torturous sentence leaves the victim in agony. David Hearne, in his book Hulagu's Web, shows us how painful it can be. “Terror ripped through her mind…then suddenly the first stone smashed into her…” (Hulagu's Web, 64) The only solitude the punished has is that they will soon die.

Stoning is typically a punishment for adultery, although it can also be use for cases of incest and other sexual or “moral” crimes. Typically, a stoning victim is first wrapped in cloth and buried up to the waist for men, or up to the chest for females. Then the crowd is to throw stones at the victim. However, it is very important that, “… no stone should be thrown that should kill with the first or second blow, or so small as a pebble to do no injury to the condemned.” (Hulagu's Web, 64) Stoning is a unique form of punishment in that there is no single executioner. The simplistic act of gathering the victim’s peers around him creates killers out of everyone.

Fact to Fiction: The Brutal Truth about the Practice of Stoning

Today, stoning is only practiced in Islamic culture in order to maintain the submission of its women and those in the lower cast. Only those impoverished or socially unimportant are punished by stoning. This barbaric act parallels those of the 4th century Theodosius who punished those who did not share his religious views. He ordered all non-Christian temples be destroyed and that all heathens be executed unless they convert. His decree now lives on in the hands of religious Islamic tyrants that now employ the brutal act of stoning. These acts of barbarism and violence far outweigh the moral transgression of those condemned.

Stoning has been in practice since biblical times. In the Old Testament, God is quoted as requiring stoning as a punishment for breaking one of the Ten Commandments, particularly for committing adultery. However, in the New Testament, Jesus is believed to have replaced that type of punishment for a more humane punishment. He is quoted as having challenged, “he that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” This is why stoning has slowly been replaced with punishments that require less involvement of ones peers.

As we realize the impact of such a brutal death, we realize that we have no right to take part in killing another when we too have sinned. This imparting of sin on all those who partake in it is the very reason most cultures have abandoned the practice.

We already see a disintegration of the practice of stoning in Islamic culture. Only those under Sharia rule still practice it. In this culture, there is no distinction between religious and governmental law. Religion is governmental law. More information on Islam and Sharia law can be found at http://answering-islam.org.uk/.

Among the countries that still practice stoning are Afghanistan, Iran, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates. Other Islamic countries denounce the practice as inhumane and indicate that the Qur’an provides no grounds for such a vicious practice. Those who practice stoning claim that it is demanded by Islam and have gone so far as incorporating it into their countries penal codes.

From these deep rooted laws regarding stoning, there have been a few recent cases of global interest where stoning has been received as a punishment. In December 2004 a woman in Iran was scheduled to be stoned to death after spending five years in prison for committing adultery. She was one of over 100 to be stoned to death in Iran last year alone. In Nigeria, a woman was sentenced to stoning after giving birth to a baby more than nine months after divorcing. To her good fortune, this sentence was overturned. More instances of recent convictions resulting in stoning can be found at http://www.religioustolerance.org/isl_adul1.htm. With international efforts to stop stoning, the rulings are being overturned with more frequency, hopefully giving less credibility to Sharia law.

David Hearne shows us a heart-wrenching account of a stoning in his book Hulagu's Web. He shows us that not only does the victim suffer the agony of the stoning, but also her anguish is unfelt by the executioners who relish their license to kill. “A spray of blood and spit now accompanies her cries of pain…The gore pleased [him], and he gleefully watched the proceedings to ensure that no one used a stone of the wrong size.” (Hulagu's Web, 64-65) Through this account we can see that the emotional involvement of crowd creates the wrong message. Instead of invoking fear of being stoned themselves, the crowd comes to enjoy a good stoning and thrives off of it. In this fashion, stoning is no longer a form of punishment, rather a form of entertainment that breeds murderers out of ordinary people.

For those doing the stoning, it is a social event that becomes more of a religious sport than a true act of moral self-righteousness. An actual video of a stoning can be viewed at http://www.iran-e-azad.org/stoning/. The footage taken in Iran illustrates a party like atmosphere of those carrying out the execution. It is reminiscent of the family picnics at the old Wild West hangings or the popularity of people watching the slaughter of gladiators in early Rome.

Like other diabolical methods of torture, stoning has gone out of style as society realized that having others participate in the punishment of another, even a criminal, devalues life. Stoning also creates fear and terrorizes the minds of others. The Guillotine, whipping, pouring acid on someone or gouging their eyes out with iron have all been gleefully practiced over the ages by zealots. Regardless of the how brutal, none of these punishments have stood the test of time. Even those founded in the name of religion have died out because they are cruel and inhumane.

As these diabolical methods have failed, it is important to note one punishment continually in practice: Jail. Imprisonment has been a popular form of punishment because having “…her face pulverized by the stoning,” (Hulagu's Web, 64) seems a little extreme no matter what the crime. Even though so many cultures have migrated towards this type of punishment, it is hard for westerners to understand why Sharia Muslims still sanction a punishment this inhumane.

As stoning is done in the name of Allah, Hearne has his character yelling “God is great.” (Hulagu's Web, 63) The crowd is egged on even more as they become more involved with the stoning. Perhaps the worst part about stoning is that it brings ordinary God fearing people to actually fear life itself. They are put into a perpetual state of fear such as Hearne’s Senator Laforge who imagines her own stoning in a nightmare. (Hulagu's Web, 63) Unable to let the memory go, people in these countries under Sharia rule cower and are plagued with fear of their life ending in such a brutal manner.

Stoning is an act of insanity and must be stopped. That humans should gather around and throw stones with the intent to take another human life is a hideous thought. Though fiction, David Hearne’s book shows us that an individual can be gripped with fear over governmental prosecution. It is the passion shown in his book that gives us cause and hope for change in the world.
