Richard Castaldo fought for his life 13 years ago, after he was shot eight times during the Columbine High School massacre. Now he’s fighting to save his home.

The survivor, who will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair as a result of the shooting, moved to Los Angeles five years ago to pursue a career in music, only to fall behind on mortgage payments for his condo, NBC Los Angeles reports. He may have again found help in the form of Occupy Los Angeles.

“I feel like they’re really the only group that doesn’t have an ulterior motive,” said Castaldo, who admits he “should have known better” than to believe the value of his condominium would go up. Roughly 36,000 California housing units received a foreclosure filing in October, according to RealtyTrac.

Montana state Rep. Clayton Fiscus (R) hasn’t even been sworn into office yet, but he’s already made clear that he’d like to work on a bill that would require the teaching of intelligent design alongside evolution when he officially goes to work at the state Capitol.

The National Center for Science Education reported this week that Fiscus had submitted a request for a draft of the legislation as one of his first orders of business.

The measure, which broadly plans to “require public schools to teach intelligent design along with evolution,” will now be drafted and considered by the legislature when it goes into session next year.

Robert Rodriguez – the famed director behind cult hits like Sin City – knows what audiences want, making the oh-so-hot sequel to 2010’s Machete one of the most eagerly-anticipated films of 2013. Even so, there’s a possibility that his film “Machete Kills” – which began production earlier this year – may never be released, depending on how a complaint filed by Overnight Production proceeds in court.

There is nothing quite like showing off to the rest of the world just how much you love your Android device, and this can be done through the kind of case you use, or perhaps if you want to, you can always settle for the Andru Dark Edition. Wait a minute, you ask. The what? Andru creators Gen have come up with a far darker (literally) version of Andru, which is a physical representation of the Android, er, droid, that will definitely go down well with the rest of your raven black desktop and accessories.

The Andru Dark Edition will retail for $25 a pop, inclusive of shipping, where it shares a similar pair of poseable arms and antennae, stand and cable which is found in the original, albeit it will come in a matte black finish. Not only that, another element of “evil” is present in its red lit eyes when charging, where they will turn to amber on standby. What do you think of this accessory – nifty or not?
