SAN DIEGO, CA, November 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) One of the first families to enter Pardee Homes' HomewardBound program is now happily settled into their own, two-story, four bedroom home with the frustrations of earlier attempts at buying a home now a dim memory. Gary and Nicole Spear started their journey with Pardee Homes as unsure, doubtful home shoppers who had experienced frustration and disappointment dealing with home sellers and credit repair companies who were unable to help them.
"We had given up before coming to the HomewardBound program," said Nicole Spear. "We came to Pardee after working with people who did not really want to help us, but Pardee helped us overcome the obstacles to buying a new home by giving us the information we needed to improve our credit. Their team of caring and attentive sales people and lenders were amazing, working hand in hand to make the process quick and easy. We followed their instructions and after the second month we were ready to move forward because our credit rating had improved significantly."
One of the ways that Pardee Homes helps clear the path to homeownership is by providing a free initial credit analysis. With that in hand, a program can be created that may include budgeting assistance, a savings plan, credit enhancement or repair, and if needed, the assistance of eCredit Advisor, an independent, third party advisor who can help the buyer maximize their credit score and correct reported errors. Statistically, buyers who work with eCredit Advisor see a 30 to 80 point increase in their FICO score in a span of two to five months; with a three-cycle program there is currently an average increase of 64 points on a mid-credit score. The Spears credit rating improved more than 40 points after working with Pardee, enabling them to qualify to purchase a home at LivingSmart Homes in Lake Elsinore.
"If someone else out there is looking for a home I would definitely refer them to Pardee Homes," said Spear. "The Homeward Bound program is amazing, and so is our new home."
"Obstacles like poor credit, no credit, foreclosures, high debt ratios and an inconsistent employment history are hurdles that can put the dream of home ownership just out of reach," said Gary Probert, Vice President of Sales for Pardee Homes. "These types of obstacles can make it difficult to qualify for a loan, but there are solutions, and one way is to participate in Pardee's HomewardBound program. This is a free program available for Pardee Homes' homebuyers and can be easily put into action by going to our website at www.pardeehomes.com/homeward-bound/ or calling our online sales counselor at (858) 342-8797."
Celebrating 90 years in the homebuilding business, Pardee Homes builds new homes and communities for first-time through luxury homebuyers. It was among the first to embrace master planned community concepts, green homebuilding measures, environmentally sensitive development practices and customer-focused processes for new home purchase.
In the Inland Empire, Pardee Homes currently has one new home neighborhood offering single-family detached homes for sale in Beaumont--LivingSmart Homes at Tournament Hills, and two in master-planned Canyon Hills in Lake Elsinore--Silverthorne and LivingSmart Homes.
LivingSmart Homes are priced from the high $100,000s at Tournament Hills, which features gated, golf-course living and a scenic lake, walking trails and an elementary school. Canyon Hills in Lake Elsinore is a recreation-oriented community with two private recreation centers with swimming pools, tot lots and open space, plus a public park with tennis courts, nearby schools and convenient shopping. Pricing for new homes in this community are from the high $100,000s at LivingSmart Homes and from the low $200,000s at Silverthorne.

Targeted antibiotic drug safest among recommended treatments for irritable bowel disease
2011-11-03
LOS ANGELES (Nov. 1, 2011) – Among the most commonly used treatments for irritable bowel syndrome – which affects as many as 20 percent of the United States population – a targeted antibiotic was shown to be the safest in a new study by Cedars-Sinai researchers, based on an analysis of 26 large-scale clinical trials.
The study, for presentation at the American College of Gastroenterology annual meeting in Washington, D.C., examined drug interventions for IBS deemed to be of merit by a task force of the group . The study compared the therapies based on "number needed ...
Starving prostate cancer
2011-11-03
Each year about 3300 Australian men die of prostate cancer. It's Australia's second worst cancer killer for men, matching the impact of breast cancer on women.
Current therapies for prostate cancer include surgical removal of the prostate, radiation, freezing the tumour or cutting off the supply of the hormone testosterone—but there are often side-effects including incontinence and impotence.
Growing cells need an essential nutrient, the amino acid called leucine, which is pumped into the cell by specialised proteins. And this could be prostate cancer's weak link. ...
Technology makes storing radioactive waste safer
2011-11-03
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) researchers have developed new technology capable of removing radioactive material from contaminated water and aiding clean-up efforts following nuclear disasters.
The innovation could also solve the problem of how to clean up millions of tonnes of water contaminated by dangerous radioactive material and safely store the concentrated waste.
Professor Huai-Yong Zhu from QUT Chemistry said the world-first intelligent absorbent, which uses titanate nanofibre and nanotube technology, differed from current clean-up methods, such ...
Is that a robot in your suitcase?
2011-11-03
A flying robot as small as a dinner plate that can zoom to hard-to-reach places and a fleet of eco-friendly robotic farm-hands are just two of the exciting projects the robotics team at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), based in Brisbane, Australia, is working on.
The pint-sized propellor-powered robots can be packed away into a suitcase. They have multiple cameras which enable them to 'see' the world around them as they navigate their way through buildings, carrying out tasks like deliveries or inspections.
"You'll be able to put your suitcase on the ground, ...
Digital media a factor in ferocity of political campaigns
2011-11-03
A University of Missouri study of recent political blogs indicates politics are getting nastier due to digital media, which are segmenting people into polarized interest groups. The researcher recommends a balanced approach to finding information in order to return civility to political discourse, which is at the heart of democracy.
"One side is going to lose in every political discussion," said Ben Warner, associate professor of communication in the MU College of Arts and Science. "The danger with this open hostility found in digital media toward the other side in politics ...
Study shows that fast-food dining is most popular for those with middle incomes
2011-11-03
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) — A new national study of eating out and income shows that fast-food dining becomes more common as earnings increase from low to middle incomes, weakening the popular notion that fast food should be blamed for higher rates of obesity among the poor.
"There is a correlation between obesity and lower income, but it cannot be solely attributed to restaurant choice," said J. Paul Leigh, professor of public health sciences at UC Davis and senior author of the study, which is published online in Population Health Management. "Fast-food dining is most popular ...
Hospital tests reveal the secrets of an Egyptian mummy
2011-11-03
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — An ancient Egyptian mummy has had quite an afterlife, traveling more than 6,000 miles, spending six decades in private hands, and finally, in 1989, finding a home at the World Heritage Museum (now the Spurlock Museum) at the University of Illinois. The mummy's travels did not end there, however. It has made two trips to a local hospital – once in 1990 and again this year – for some not-so-routine medical exams.
Egyptologists, a radiologist, a pathologist, a physical anthropologist and a mummy expert are using the best diagnostic tools available to learn ...
VLT observations of gamma-ray burst reveal surprising ingredients of early galaxies
2011-11-03
Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest explosions in the Universe [1]. They are first spotted by orbiting observatories that detect the initial short burst of gamma rays. After their positions have been pinned down, they are then immediately studied using large ground-based telescopes that can detect the visible-light and infrared afterglows that the bursts emit over the succeeding hours and days. One such burst, called GRB 090323 [2], was first spotted by the NASA Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Very soon afterwards it was picked up by the X-ray detector on NASA's Swift satellite ...

Global flu watch: Report of rare flu coinfection in Southeast Asia hot spot
2011-11-03
(Deerfield, Ill., USA – November 2, 2011) Researchers conducting influenza-like illness surveillance in Cambodia have confirmed a rare incidence of individuals becoming infected with a seasonal influenza and the pandemic strain at the same time, a reminder of the ongoing risk of distinct flu viruses combining in human hosts to produce a more lethal strain, according to a report in the November issue of the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. A pandemic strain is a type of flu against which people have little or no natural immunity.
While the individuals ...
