Julien Hug Found Dead

Julien Hug Found Dead - Julien Hug, who competed in Season 5 of "The Bachelorette" and was reported missing on Monday, was found dead Wednesday morning off Highway 74 in Riverside County.

Hug was last heard from Monday before his cellphone went dead, his father, restaurateur Bertrand Hug, told San Diego's 10News on Wednesday. The 35-year-old had been on the way from San Diego to Palm Desert to help manage the family's newest restaurant; a missing persons report was filed and authorities had been conducting a search.

The body was found in a remote area near Pinyon Pines described by the sheriff's department as a spot "you would need to hike into," according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. The cause of death was not yet known.

"I will always remember Julien's gentle demeanor and kind heart, which will be sadly missed," Jillian Harris, the show's object of desire in 2009, told TMZ.

“He was one of the most positive, selfless people I knew," castmate and friend Kiptyn Locke told Radar Online. Locke said he'd known Hug before the two were on the show.

[Updated, 1:55 p..m.: "My thoughts and prayers go out to Julien's family. I speak on behalf of myself and the entire group from our season of The Bachelorette, that he was a great standup guy," said David Good, the "Bachelor Pad" winner who competed on "The Bachelorette" with Hug. "Julien was always the first to offer to cook food in the house and the one to offer up one of his 'funny' jokes that were entirely too long but hilarious nonetheless. He will truly be missed."]

Hug was the second contestant to leave the show that season; Harris wound up getting engaged to Ed Swiderski, though the two broke up in July.

Contactless Debit Cards

Contactless Debit Cards - Contactless debit cards will make their formal debut in Canada next year with the launch of Interac Flash from Acxsys Corp.’s Interac Association, Canada’s national debit network. Interac’s first two Flash issuers are Scotiabank and RBC Royal Bank, which will roll out their first contactless cards next summer. The first acquirer is TD Merchant Services, a unit of Toronto-Dominion Bank. More issuers and acquirers are on the way, an Interac spokesperson tells Digital Transactions News, though no announcements have been made yet. Interac and the banks tested Flash this summer at some high-volume, small-ticket merchants in downtown Toronto. The spokesperson expects national merchants will be making formal announcements about acceptance. “There’s a lot of excitement in the merchant community,” she says. “Merchants are looking for that faster throughput.” In a statement, the Retail Council of Canada endorsed the new card. “Interac Flash is a welcome and needed ...

Homes Losing Value Fastest

Homes Losing Value Fastest - Homeowners with Citigroup loans in foreclosure-rich Virginia Beach, Va., and Orlando, Fla., are in luck. The mortgage giant announced today that it will impose a moratorium on most foreclosures and modify $20 billion in mortgages to enable homeowners who are not behind on their loans, but in danger of falling behind, to avoid foreclosure. Those that don't fall under the plan? They're in hot water. Well, underwater. Virginia Beach homeowners who bought homes this year possess a paltry 5.2% of home equity, and 34.5% owe more on their property than it's worth, according to Zillow.com, a real estate research group. That's the worst rate in the country. Even in Orlando and Miami, two cities hammered by bad loans and home-equity dips, only 30% and 29% of homeowners are underwater, respectively. It's a similar story in El Centro, Calif., Bakersfield, Calif., and Cumberland, Md. What's certain to follow? Foreclosures. "Negative...
