The DNC is suing the Federal Election Commission over its failure to investigate John McCain's campaign finance practices.
From NPR this morning:
When McCain's campaign was about to go broke over the winter, he got a line of credit from a bank. He had already applied for public financing. But when his fundraising got better, McCain declared that he was withdrawing from the public financing program.
The DNC lawsuit says he can't do that — because he had already made financial use of his access to public funds. The Democrats point out that McCain's campaign manager guaranteed to the bank that McCain could qualify for public money in the future.
Though McCain never made use of any public money, he is technically still signed up for the public funding program for the primaries. Last month, F

I was talking to Jonathan Dalton on the phone about the people appearing in some of the Bad MLS Photo of the Day posts. He pointed out that having people appear in MLS photos are a violation for his MLS.
Actually it’s the same thing in Connecticut, and I suspect the majority of other MLS’s. Likely for simple reasons of the fear of lawsuit of people not having signed model releases etc. Plus the very obvious fair housing concerns come to mind too.
So not only are the agents putting photos of people in listing photos destroying the photo as a sales piece, they’re willing to risk some hefty fines to do so.
It’s so mindlessly inept, that I can’t dwell on it too long.
I just post the silly photos, laugh and move on.

As if being investigated by the FBI back in March and getting busted trying to buy their reputation back in May wasn't enough, Beazer Homes is in trouble again. This time, it's with the SEC and the U.S. Attorney's Office who are investigating Beazer Homes for violations of HUD regulations governing down-payment-assistance programs. This comes after a series of stories in the Charlotte Observer came out documenting cases where Beazer Homes appeared to have broken rules governing down-payment-assistance and had sold homes to low-income buyers who couldn't afford them in the first place.
Beazer admitted that it's own internal investigation found evidence that employees of Beazer's Mortgage division violated certain HUD regulations dating back to at least 2000. The company is seeking to negotiate a settlement with regulators to the tune of $8M to $15M, but no deal has been struck as of yet.
Beazer also announced today that they would restate earnings going back to 2004. The restat
There has been enormous pressure on the United Nations from the world for more harsh actions against the Burmese military regime.The article reported on Agence France-Presse (AFP) mentioned that despite worldwide protests in support of Burma’s pro-democracy movement, any sanction resolution would probably face a veto from China and Russia, the former being the main backer of the junta all these years. The reason given would be the turmoil in Burma is an internal affair that does not represent a threat to regional or international peace and security.Although theoretically what happened in Burma will not affect the world in terms of peace and security, it is imperative to note that according to the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it seemed that there have been serious violations of the chapter: Article 4. No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. Article 5. No one shall be subjected to

Arab Times , KUWAIT CITY: With both the Popular Bloc and National Bloc increasing the heat on him and leading a tireless campaign to oust him from the Cabinet, Oil Minister Sheikh Ali Al-Jarrah Al-Sabah says he has left the issue of his resignation in the hands of HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Mohammed Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah. A reliable governmental source said Sheikh Ali Al-Jarrah’s resignation will depend on the nature of the grilling motion expected to be submitted next week by MPs Musallam Al-Barrak and Faisal Al-Muslem, and the number of MPs who support the grilling. On the same issue, MP Dr Waleed Al-Tabtabaei said “we should judge Sheikh Ali Al-Jarrah on his performance and not on the basis of a wrongly worded statement. We should give the minister a final opportunity to deal with the violations, which were revealed by MPs.”

A firm based in El Centro, Calif. has agreed to pay $9,027 for demolishing a structure without notifying the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as required by federal Clean Air Act asbestos regulations.CT EL Centro, LLC, owner of a property located at 1523 W. Main Street in El Camino, and its contractor, Action Environmental Enterprises, Inc., failed to notify the EPA of a demolition taking place at said location as required under the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants regulations.“When a building is demolished, asbestos must be properly removed in order to protect the health of the public and immediate community,” said Deborah Jordan, director of the EPA’s Air Division for the Pacific Southwest. “Appropriate regulatory agencies must be notified in advance so they can ensure that the required safeguards are in place.”The EPA has classified asbestos, a known carcinogen, as a hazardous air pollutant. Individuals exposed to asbestos fibers are at risk of
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reached a $20,000 settlement with a construction consultant for violating federal regulations governing asbestos removal from buildings in Hayward, Calif. in 2000.The construction consultant, Timothy Chu Construction Consulting Services, is paying a penalty of $20,000. Settlements were previously reached with the building owner, Cheng, Chow and Chu, Inc, for $149,000 and the construction company, Sincere Construction, for $1,500. The asbestos removal was also the subject of a criminal investigation which resulted in a plea agreement under which the building owner Clifford Cheng served four months under house arrest and paid a $5,000 criminal penalty.“This case was particularly important because of the large amounts of asbestos and the delay in mitigating the problem,” said Deborah Jordan, director of the Air Division in the EPA’s Pacific Southwest region. “We are pleased that all responsible parties were held accountable, and acknowledge

I know I’m constantly showing bad real estate photos on the blog. I’m enjoying mocking and spinning them into something humorous. But at the same time I’m also more than a little disgruntled about them.
I’ve been tossing and turning about this for a couple weeks now. I’m getting to the point where I think that because bad photos act to drive potential buyers away from asking for showings and writing offers, that bad photos are in fact a serious ethical violation by listing agents. One that should or could result in lawsuits, fines, revoking of licensure.
Jim Duncan mentions similar thoughts in passing.
“The fact that there is only one picture in the MLS should be a violation in and of itself as well.”
Assume that a seller has a good home, reasonably priced and generally market ready. Then the listing agent shoots terrible photos and then uploads those photos to the Multiple Listing System (MLS). Then those photos get spread far a
Washington -- The United States and the inter-American community are united in condemning human rights repression in Cuba and Venezuela.
The State Department said in a new human rights report, released April 5, that Cuba had at least 283 political prisoners and detainees at the end of 2006.
The report said thousands more citizens in Cuba served sentences in 2006 for “dangerousness,” in the absence of any criminal activity. In addition, the report said beatings and abuse of detainees and prisoners, including human rights activists, were carried out with impunity, and that harsh and life-threatening prison conditions included denial of medical care.
The Cuban government uses the concept of "dangerousness" in an attempt to justify detaining its citizens, saying these people supposedly have a “special inclination” to commit crimes.
In a separate development, a human rights body of the Organization of American States (OAS) says in its own new report that the Cuban people endure a
The editor-in-chief of Playboy Indonesia was found innocent Thursday of violating indecency laws in the world's most populous Muslim nation and will not face time behind bars, judges ruled Thursday.

An Anchorage Salvation Army thrift store has agreed to pay a $76,906 penalty to settle with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for alleged violations of the asbestos National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (asbestos NESHAP) under the Clean Air Act.In response to customer complaints, EPA conducted an inspection of a thrift store operated by the Salvation Army in Anchorage in September 2005, and found untrained workers removing over 7,500 square feet of asbestos-containing floor tile during business hours. EPA’s inspector determined the floor tile was in a deteriorated state and easily crumbled with hand pressure. The store had already disposed of much of the broken floor tile prior to the inspection. Samples collected by EPA’s inspector showed the floor tile contained asbestos.Upon learning of the asbestos concern, the Salvation Army immediately closed the store, located on Northern Lights Boulevard, and kept it closed until an abatement company was abl
