Conviction (ABC) First Look Featurette HD Forecaster: Timeless and Conviction face off in a battle of newshows
One of the more intriguing timeslot battles of the new season kicks off Monday, as ABC, CBS and NBC all bring their 10 p.m. shows on line.
In the long term, CBS Scorpion probably sets up as the healthiest of the three. Its already an established show, and by the midpoint of the season (if not sooner) it would be no surprise to see it at the top of the 10 oclock heap.
The face-off between two new shows one of which will feel very familiar and the other of which is part of a big trend this season will be pretty interesting to watch.
The more familiar show is ABCs Conviction, about a former first daughter (Hayley Atwell, back on ABC after Agent Carter) whos put in charge of a conviction integrity unit i.e., checking whether people in prison should really be there at the Manhattan D.A.s office. Its a procedural with a charismatic lead, just like the show its replacing, Castle, was, and the dynamics between Atwells cynical character and her more idealistic colleagues will be familiar to anyone whos ever watched House.
NBCs Timeless, meanwhile, sends its three leads (Abigail Spencer, Malcolm Barrett and Matt Lanter) traveling through time (the pilot sends them to the date of the Hindenburg blimp explosion) to chase a criminal (Goran Visnjic) whos stolen another time machine with the intent of changing history to destroy the current present. Its one of four new shows with a time-travel element this season (Frequency, Time After Time and Making History are the others), and it gets to be first out of the gate.
Since it has The Voice as a lead-in, Timeless will likely put up a better premiere number than Conviction on Monday night. But it will be interesting to see how the two shows play out in the ratings over the course of the fall. Will novelty and a strong lead-in keep Timeless up, or will viewers go more for the tried-and-true formula of Conviction?
Predicteach new shows premiere rating below and discuss their longer-term prospects in the comments.
In Florida, a five-year statute of limitations could prevent banks from being able to foreclose, even after the lengthy court process.
As a result, some mortgage servicers, who make payments on behalf of the borrowers, help keep the accounts active.
According to a report by Moodys Investors Service, Servicers are trying to best preserve their foreclosure rights pending the Florida Supreme Court Decision. The issue arises because many loans went to foreclosure, stalled and then became dismissed several years ago when large bank servicers instituted foreclosure moratoriums and large Florida foreclosure firms went out of business amidst claims of improper practices.
The Florida Supreme Court is currently deciding on a case, U.S. Bank v. Bartram, that will decide if servicers can restart foreclosures after five years, or if they will be barred by the Florida statute of limitations, according to the article.
While they wait on the court"s decision, servicers continue to make payments, allowing mortgagers to sue for up to five years worth of payments. From Moody"s perspective, as a credit ratings agency, analysts do not expect bond performance to be greatly impacted either way.
At any rate, the report by Moodys Investors Service states, Without crediting these payments, servicers would either do nothing and wait for the Supreme Court ruling or fun the risk that courts will rule that missed payments more than five years ago are barred by the statute of limitations and may dismiss the foreclosure.
If the court rules that servicers cannot restart the clock, some foreclosures could be permanently barred, forcing banks to accept less, give deals or greatly lower the monthly payment, according to the article. The bank may elect for a short sale in order to get any recoveries.
The court ruling will have only a minor impact on overall RMBS performance because the number of previously dismissed foreclosure actions that are seriously delinquent or in foreclosure is minimal, the report said. Only approximately 3% of private label loans backed by properties in Florida had a prior foreclosure dismissed and are greater than 60 days delinquent or in foreclosure.

The actress previously had long hair with face-framing layers, but it looks like she decided it was time for a change. Bure"s longtime hairstylist Daniel Blaylock told Us Weekly that he chopped her tresses into a graduated, textured bob with a deep side part.
Its shorter in the back, longer in the front, has beautiful movement and long side-swept bangs, Blaylock told Us of the shorter haircut. I first cut off all the length at right above her shoulders. This removed her damaged ends and hair, which was the inspiration for a fresh cut. Using her previous shorter layers as a guide, I added in texture by point-cutting into my sections to provide movement and create an edgy but chic look.

After prepping Cameron Bure"s strands with his favorite Oribe conditioning spray and Krastase thermal protectant and reconstructive serum, Blaylock blew out her hair with a round bristle brush to complete the look. Besides getting rid of damaged hair, her new bob also reduces her morning hair-care routine and blowout time.
She loved how healthy her hair felt, how effortless it looks, and the movement in the cut! Blaylock told Us. The maintenance will not be as extreme with a cut like this, and that will work even better for her schedule!

Dear Mr. Premack: I have always been eager to vote, but this year at age 82 I let my driver"s license expire and moved from Austin to San Antonio to live with my daughter. I want to be sure I am all set to vote with ID and Registration. What should I do, and how soon? W.T.
Registration is required in order to vote in the upcoming November election. People can register in person or by mail. The Texas Secretary of State says the deadline to register is October 11. If registering by mail, the application must be postmarked on or before October 11. Don"t wait for the deadline; give yourself and the county as much time as possible to be sure your registration is proper. An application can be obtained online, but there is no way to actually register online. Registration must be done in person or by mail.
If a voter has moved or changed their name, their registration must be updated. According to the Secretary of State: If you moved within the same county where you are currently registered, you must file the new address information in writing with your voter registrar (for Bexar county, visit http://www.bexar.org/1706/Registration-Changes).
If you moved to a different county you must re-register in your new county of residence. So, W.T., you must re-register in your new county by October 11 to be eligible to vote.
Anyone who wants to confirm they are properly registered may verify online at https://teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov/MVP/mvp.do. Those who are properly registered receive a registration card in the mail. The Secretary of State highly recommends presenting the registration card at the polling place. If you do not present your registration card but your name is on the list of eligible voters, you can still vote with proper ID. If you have no registration card and are not on the list of eligible voters, you may be denied the vote.
Registered voters also need to present one of the seven forms of photo ID, or present some other acceptable ID along with a Reasonable Impediment Declaration (which they will provide at the polling place). See my August 29 column for more information on Voter ID (http://www.mysanantonio.com/life/life_columnists/paul_premack/article/Court-Order-relaxes-Voter-ID-requirements-9191400.php). W.T.: if your driver"s license has been expired less than four years you should be able to use it as ID to vote.
Vote Early or by Mail
Once properly registered, consider Early Voting (open from October 24 November 4, a tight squeeze if you are not yet registered). Also, consider Voting by Mail if you are age 65 or older on election day, are disabled, or will be out of the county on election day. You must apply for a mail ballot. In Bexar County, you can request an application by phoning the Elections Office at 210-335-0362 or by mailing them a request. Applications to vote by mail must be received by the county by October 28 (so if you are not yet registered, you may be too late to apply this year).

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) Outdoor gear giants Bass Pro and Cabelas will combine in a $4.5 billion deal announced Monday.
Bass Pro is paying Cabelas shareholders $65.50 cash per share. The deal creates uncertainty about jobs in Cabelas home state of Nebraska. The combined companies plan to keep some operations in Sidney and Lincoln, Nebraska, but its not immediately clear how many jobs might be lost.
Bass Pro CEO Johnny Morris says he hopes to continue growing the Cabelas brand alongside his own Springfield, Missouri, based chain.
Capital One will take over running Cabelas credit card unit as part of the deal. Activist investment firm Elliott Management began pushing for significant changes at Cabelas last fall. Cabelas employs about 2,000 people in the western Nebraska town of Sidney, which has about 7,000 residents.

The Bachelor alum Ben Higgins has some serious advice for new Bachelor, Nick Viall. His fiance, Lauren Bushnell, also has a few things to say to the reality show veteran.
After unsuccessfully finding love on two seasons of The Bachelorette, then going on Bachelor in Paradise, Nick Viall is ready to give it another shot on The Bachelor. In an interview with E! News, Ben Higgins, who also experienced heartache on The Bachelorette, told Viall that the best advice he could give is to be yourself and enjoy the journey.
Be honest, be open, be ready for one of the most exciting but also most emotionally taxing experiences of your life. Stay true to yourself, and if you do that, at the end of this, no matter what happens, itll be worth it, he said.
His fiance, Lauren Bushnell, however, made things a little bit awkward when she decided to give Viall advice herself.
Dont tell two women you love them both. Even if you feel it, just dont say it, she said.
Mi amore.

In one of the episodes of The Bachelor, Higgins surprised fans when he said I love you to two of the final three women, Bushnell and JoJo Fletcher. The Bachelor Nation was surprised with Higgins declaration, thinking that he somewhat broke the rules. Higgins, however, insisted that the producers never told him that he couldnt drop the L-word to any of the contestants.
During The Bachelors Women Tell All special, Higgins explained that he went on the reality show with the full intention of being true to himself, and that includes telling the women how he truly feels about them.
Maybe Im confused, but when I started this experience no one gave me a playbook or rules to follow. They say, Do this how you think you should do this, and you dont always know the best answer to questions and sometimes you do develop feelings you dont expect. What I committed to was expressing those feelings, but no one ever said, Dont do that, dont do this!"
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ben Higgins shared that he made the right decision choosing Lauren Bushnell over JoJo Fletcher. The 27-year-old reality star added that he never doubted his love for her, adding that he could not wait to put the past behind him and start the rest of his life with Bushnell.
Although there was a time when he was in love with two women, Higgins insisted his feelings for Bushnell were definitely stronger. He also explained that they addressed the issue right away to prevent further conflicts from arising. Even though hearing her fiance admit that he loved two women at the same time on the show was clearly painful, Higgins said Bushnell never left his side.
Understanding its not always easy, right? Weve put her through h**l and back sometimes, but shes never ceased to love me and support me through it. Thats why were standing here today, and I am so excited, he said.
Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell recently celebrated their first anniversary. Apart from the wedding plans, the couple is also busy prepping for the premiere of their new Freeform show, Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After?. The spin-off will follow the couple as they prepare for their big day while navigating the real world together. Bushnell assured fans that they will see both the highs and lows of their relationship, adding that they will not hide anything from them.
We dont want it to be all just happy and go-lucky, we really want it to be real, and with that, Ben and I are human beings, we have our downs, we have our arguments. I dont want any of our struggles to be censored. I want it to be very real.
Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After? premieres on October 11 on Freeform.
