COLUMBUS, OH, December 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Ohio Attorneys John Sherrod and W. Mark Jump, of Jump Legal Group, have filed a class action lawsuit against Bank of America on behalf of Ohio homeowners who have been wrongfully foreclosed on by Bank of America despite never missing a single payment. The suit alleges Bank of American improperly diverted homeowners' trial loan modification payments (watch video).
The initiation of the class action lawsuit came after Bank of American foreclosed on a Canal Winchester, Ohio, couple who were shocked when a process server appeared at their door with foreclosure papers. Attorney John Sherrod relays, "the Woodruffs are responsible homeowners, who like many people, were hurt by the bad economy. They contacted Bank of America and entered into a loan modification agreement. They made every payment on time and then Bank of America foreclosed on them anyway. Joe and Jennifer have two young children and they worry what this stress is doing to them."
There are potentially hundreds of other homeowners in Ohio who are living through this same nightmare. "At this point we have handled countless loan modifications where the loan application and agreements have been mishandled by the banks. This is probably one of the more egregious scenarios emerging in the marketplace." - W. Mark Jump.
What should you do if you have had an experience similar to the Woodruff's? Attorneys John Sherrod and Mark Jump urge homeowners to contact them at 614-454-4307 or to visit Jump Legal's website and fill out a brief questionnaire about your experience.

Breast cancers at lower-risk detected with widespread use of mammograms
2011-12-19
As a woman ages, her chances of being diagnosed with a lower-risk breast tumor increase, according to a novel study led by UCSF which found that for women over 50, a substantial number of cancers detected by mammograms have good prognoses.
The study provides the first molecular evidence of an increase in low- or ultra-low-risk cancers in the tumors when detected by screening mammography. And it provides a basis for integrating molecular profiling at the time of diagnosis to help avoid overtreatment.
In their research, the UCSF scientists at the forefront of breast ...

Researchers Find 4 of Every 5 Glasses of Regular Water You Drink Go Down the Toilet
2011-12-19
On top of the Himalayan Mountains, Hunza people enjoys the best glacier water that nature offers. Captain Water researchers discovered that this glacier water is formed of perfectly structured water molecules. This means it can actually be fully absorbed to support the body instead of just going through the system and mainly being flushed out.
"Most people are not aware that up to 80% of tap water and bottled water that they consume actually may not get absorbed, because it isn't structured at the molecular level properly. Our water ionizer technology directly ...
Hedge fund share restrictions favor managers over investors
2011-12-19
Chestnut Hill, MA – Armed with insider knowledge, managers of share-restricted hedge funds sell off their own holdings ahead of their investors in order to avoid low returns produced by an outflow of shareholder dollars, according to a new study by researchers from Boston College and EDHEC Business School in France.
The practice, known as front running, pits the interests of managers against those of investors in hedge funds where shareholder actions are limited by contract and there is scant disclosure of fund details. Managers act in advance on the information they ...

Babies remember even as they seem to forget
2011-12-19
Fifteen years ago, textbooks on human development stated that babies 6 months of age or younger had no sense of "object permanence" – the psychological term that describes an infant's belief that an object still exists even when it is out of sight. That meant that if mom or dad wasn't in the same room with junior, junior didn't have the sense that his parents were still in the world.
These days, psychologists know that isn't true: for young babies, out of sight doesn't automatically mean out of mind. But how much do babies remember about the world around them, and what ...
