huffingtonpost: Like tens of thousands of other Florida homeowners, imprisoned former football star O.J. Simpson is in danger of losing his house to foreclosure. Miami-Dade Circuit Court records show that JPMorgan Chase filed for foreclosure in September on the four-bedroom, four-bath house south of downtown Miami. Simpson’s attorney has since filed a motion to dismiss the case, but there has been no further action since November. Simpson bought the 4,233-square-foot house in 2000 for $575,000, property records show. Its current assessed value is $478,401, with property taxes of about $9,000. The 2011 taxes were paid in December. Bank Foreclosing On Home Of Jailed Former NFL Star

jtotheizzoe: audioace asked you: I am a biology student right now. I have only looked at a few posts here, so I apologize if you have answered this question before. What kind of advice would you give someone who is struggling to make a decision about his/her major in college? Eventually I am going to write up a “go-to” post for this. This post is not that post. Listen, the idea of a college “major” is just terrifying. I mean, they even go ahead and call it a “major” so as to attach even MORE importance to it that you already give it. I’m gonna go at this in two parts: You aren’t going to realize this until much later, like when you’re old and wise and post-collegiate like me, but your major is not as important as you think. I mean, it’s still important. Good luck with those Sanskrit Poetry Studies degrees and all, but it should be meaningful and translate into some future endeavor. But it doesn’t define you. Physics majors can write amazing essays on the anthropology of human warfare. Business students can offer incredible and fresh perspectives on how to innovate genomic medicine purely based on numbers. Think of your major as a focus, and not the definition of your college career.  Always search for ways to apply your other interests to the focus you choose. Take advice from your adviser, not mandates. Try many things, because above all you’ll never know your taste for something until you take a bite. “Variety is the spice of life” and all those page-a-day calendar platitudes. If you work at getting good at just one subject, you’ll one day discover that not only are you not the best person in the world at that subject, but because you ignored all the other ones, you’re the worst at all those too. When you walk across the stage at whatever graduation ceremony you have at your school. everyone who walks with you will have a degree just like yours, on equally underwhelming paper with equally fake signatures. If it’s a ceremony for just your major, their degrees will be exactly like yours. Your major is just the minimum number of steps to take to leave college. It’s actually very minor. Think of ways to make yourself unique from all those other degrees being handed out. The world doesn’t hire degrees, it hires people. Be a people. Also, biology is pretty cool, if you have to pick one. Finally, the most important piece of advice I ever received about college majors and knowing stuff and all that: Always treat every room as if there’s someone in there smarter than you about whatever it is that you are doing. Chances are that it’s true. And if it’s not, just wait until you get to the next room.
marcusto: Here’s my Monday post, this one is an oldie I did for Aspen Comics’ Pinup issue. I chose Cannon Hawke and Akiko (who were the main characters in the book Fathom: Cannon Hawke which was my first mini series ever) I really wanted to do more of a fun summer time theme than sexy swimsuit thing so I went with the Santa Monica promenade scene, and at the time I was obsessed with Corgi’s so I had to put one in. Also my friend Micah Gunnell and I had a thing where we would draw each other in our books so this is what I did along with Koi Turnbull and I in the background. Wonderful inks by the great Jason Gordor (Grifter) and beautiful colours by the amazing Beth Sotelo (Supergirl)
