Mortgage Maze May Increase Home Foreclosures 2007-08-06 00:43:59 In 2003, Dianne Brimmage refinanced the mortgage on her home in Alton, Illinois, to consolidate her car and medical bills. Now, struggling with a much higher interest rate and in foreclosure, she wants to modify the terms of the loan. Lenders have often agreed to such steps in the past because it was in everyone’s interest to avoid foreclosure costs and possibly greater losses; but that was back when local banks held the loans and the bankers knew the homeowners, as well as the value of the properties. Ms. Brimmage got her loan through a mortgage broker, just the first link in a financial merry-go-round. The mortgage itself was pooled with others and sold to investors - insurance companies, mutual funds and pension funds. A different company processes her loan payments. Yet another company represents the investors as the trustee. She has gotten nowhere with any of the parties, despite her lawyer’s belief that fraud was involved in the mortgage. Like many other Americans, Ms. Brimmage is a homeowner stuck in foreclosure limbo, at risk of losing the home she has lived in since 1998. As the housing market weakens and interest rates on adjustable mortgages rise, more and more borrowers are falling behind. Almost 14 percent of subprime borrowers were delinquent in the first quarter of 2007. Investors, fearful that these problems will hurt the overall economy, have retreated from the stock and bond markets, creating major sell-offs. Read The Full Story U.S. House Approve's The Pentagon's Budget - Minus The President's War Funding 2007-08-06 00:43:19 The House early Sunday approved modest changes to President Bush's record Pentagon budget proposal, but Democrats signaled plans to resume a more contentious debate over the Iraq war after the August recess. The House's $459.6 billion version of the defense budget, approved on a 395 to 13 vote, would add money for equipment for the National Guardand Reserve, provide for 12,000 additional soldiers and Marines, and increase spending for defense health care and military housing. Minutes after the vote, the chamber adjourned until after Labor Day. The White House criticized Democrats for cutting Bush's request and effectively transferring $3.5 billion of the money to domestic spending programs. It is likely that the cuts will be restored in the fall when Congress will consider another wartime supplemental spending bill. Read The Full Story Montana Governor Declares State Of Emergency Over Wildfires 2007-08-06 00:42:19 A state of emergency was declared in Montana on Sunday because of several large wildfires, including one that has crept to within a mile of several homes and destroyed at least one. Higher humidity and clouds were helping firefighters contain that nearly 28-square-mile blaze, which began Friday and rapidly grew, leading to evacuation orders for residents of about 200 homes. In addition to the destroyed home, another one was damaged, as well as a commercial building and seven other structures, said Pat Cross, a fire information officer, but no injuries were reported, and the fire grew little on Sunday. "The fire didn't do much today in terms of moving," said Cross. "We had a very good day." Read The Full Story Nicaragua Defies U.S. With Iran Trade Deal 2007-08-06 00:41:49 Nicaragua has signed contracts with Iran worth hundreds of millions of pounds (dollars) in defiance of warnings from the United States. President Daniel Ortega brushed aside Washington's concerns by agreeing to trade bananas, coffee and meat in exchange for Iranian help with infrastructure projects. Ortega and Iran's energy minister, Hamid Chitchian, signed the accords in Nicaragua's capital, Managua, on Saturday, cementing Tehran's toehold in what the U.S. considers its backyard. In return for Nicaraguan agricultural goods, Iran is to help fund a farm equipment factory, 4,000 tractors, five milk-processing plants, a health clinic, 10,000 houses and a deep-water port. Read The Full Story In Italy, Politicians Are Accused Of Plotting To Keep Banks In Italian Control 2007-08-06 00:40:45 Before heading for the beach, members of Italy's parliament try to sweep all the outstanding business out of parliament in a frenzy of last-minute votes at the start of August. This year one issue has proved so delicate that, at the end of last week, it was decided to put off a vote until the autumn. The issue is whether the chamber of deputies should accede to a request from Milan magistrate Clementina Forleo to admit the evidence of 68 bugged telephone conversations linking some of the country's legislators to alleged plots to keep foreign banks out of Italy. One politician caught on tape is Massimo D'Alema, foreign minister and a deputy prime minister, in Italy's center-left government. Another is Piero Fassino, general secretary of the biggest party in Romano Prodi's government, the formerly communist Left Democrats. Neither has been charged. Both deny wrongdoing. The affair is a reminder that, more than 18 months after the resignation of Italy's central bank governor, Antonio Fazio, the events that led to his removal have yet to run their course. Fazio stepped down following what his successor, Mario Draghi, recently termed "a convulsive period of scandal and speculation". Read The Full Story Ford Recalling 3.6 Million Vehicles Due To Cruise-Control Switch 2007-08-05 16:02:00 Ford Motor Co. said Friday it is recalling 3.6 million passenger cars, trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans to address concerns about a cruise control switch that has led to previous recalls based on reports of fires. Ford said the recall covered more than a dozen vehicle models built from 1992-2004. The company said it was responding to concerns from owners about the safety of their cars and questions about the speed control deactivation switch in the vehicles that is powered at all times. The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker previously had recalled nearly 6 million vehicles beginning in January 2005 because of engine fires linked to the cruise control systems in trucks, SUVs and vans. “Customers remain concerned about the long-term durability of the speed control system and about the safety of their vehicles,” said Ford spokesman Dan Jarvis. Read The Full Story Ex-Aide Blasts Giuliani On 9/11 Attacks 2007-08-05 16:01:25 The former top anti-terrorism aide to Rudolph Giuliani, a front-runner in the bids to win the Republican presidential nomination, has issued a stinging critique of the former New York mayor over the September 11 attacks, undermining a key pillar of his challenge for the White House. Jerome Hauer, the city's emergency management director from 1996 to 2000, blamed Giuliani for establishing its crisis control room in the World Trade Center complex, even though it was a known terrorist target. The site proved disastrous in 2001 as the building was set ablaze in the collapse of the adjoining twin towers. The condemnation by Hauer, a leading U.S. expert on biological and chemical terrorism, provides fresh ammunition to Giuliani's foes, who want to counter the widespread acclaim for his actions in the aftermath of al-Qaeda's attack on the towers. It follows similar criticism from the New York's main firemen's union. Read The Full Story No Money Down Disappearing As Mortgage Loans Option 2007-08-05 16:00:25 Home buyers again need their own money to close a deal. Lenders faced with growing piles of bad loans, even to borrowers once considered good credit risks, have clamped down on the no-money-down mortgage. The abrupt shift threatens to dash the hopes of millions of potential buyers, especially those shopping for their first homes. Four out of 10 first-time buyers used no-down-payment mortgages in 2005 and 2006, according to surveys by the National Association of Realtors,but some lenders are now scrapping such loans completely. Others are pickier about who gets them. All figure that the more cash borrowers put down, the less likely they are to default. "No-down-payment loans are just about near impossible to get right now," said Jennifer Bridges, a real estate agent in Woodbridgeat ERA Blue Diamond Realty. "We'll have someone all lined up and then without warning, the lender will say: 'It's gone.' It's terribly depressing." Read The Full Story Tons Of Stolen Metal On Way To China, India, Dubai 2007-08-05 15:59:46 British police have warned of a bizarre crime wave sweeping Britain as thieves strip millions of pounds' worth of metal off buildings to ship to China and other countries where demand is soaring. Thousands of properties - including churches and other historic buildings with lead roofs - have been targeted by gangs who sell the metal to unscrupulous dealers. It is then shipped overseas, either as scrap or after being melted down, to countries such as India, China and Dubai, which are struggling to find enough materials to keep their booming manufacturing and building industries supplied. Ecclesiastical Insurance, which provides cover for most Church of England properties, said lead thefts had tripled while copper thefts had multiplied by 10 since 2005. In the past 16 months it has received 750 claims, totalling £1.2 million ($2.8 million). Read The Full Story U.S. House Passes Bill To Support Renewable Energy 2007-08-05 01:01:06 The U.S. House of Representatives Saturday passed a far-reaching package of energy legislation that would promote conservation and the use of renewable resources at the expense of the country's oil and gas interests. The bill, which passed 241 to 172, would require more energy efficiency in appliances, buildings and power grids, which proponents of the bill say would reduce carbon dioxide emissions and electricity use. It calls for more energy efficiency measures in the Capitol building. It also would provide grants for studies to promote ethanol pipelines, installation of pumps for 85 percent ethanol fuel at gas stations and production of cellulosic ethanol. The Democrats also won passage of a provision that would require that 15 percent of electricity from private utilities come from solar, wind or other renewable energy sources. It would be the first such requirement to apply to all the states. The House last night also passed, 221 to 189, a companion tax package, totaling nearly $16 billion, that targets the oil and gas industry. In a letter to Congress, however, the Bush administration said Friday that the two House measures would result in less domestic oil and gas production. The letter said President Bush's senior advisers would recommend that he veto the bills. Read The Full Story Poll: Iowa Republicans Not Thrilled With Field Of GOP Presidential Candidates 2007-08-05 01:00:41 As the Republican presidential candidates gather this morning in Des Moines for their fourth debate, Iowa GOP voters are expressing limited enthusiasm for the field of current and potential aspirants, according to a new Washington Post-ABC Newspoll. Their views appear to be a microcosm of GOP sentiment across the country and point to a wide open battle for the nomination. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has emerged as the early leader in the campaign for Iowa, but his support is both soft and shallow, suggesting that the Republican race in the state, as nationally, remains extremely fluid. Just 19 percent of likely GOP caucus attendees said they were "very satisfied" with the field of candidates - far below satisfaction levels among Iowa Democrats - and poll respondents were badly fractured when asked to rate the candidates on political and personal attributes. Read The Full Story Private Science Lab Suspected In Britain's Foot And Mouth Outbreak 2007-08-05 01:00:06 An accidental leak of an experimental vaccine from a private research site was being investigated urgently Saturday  night as the likely source of Britain's new foot and mouth disease outbreak. The news came as the government attempted to avert a full-scale crisis in farming and the tourism industry. Movement of all livestock has been banned, exports to Europe stopped and country fairs cancelled to minimize the risk of the country suffering a disastrous rerun of the 2001 foot and mouth epidemic which cost the nation £8.5 billion ($17 billion). Scientists made a breakthrough last night as they identified the strain of the virus as one which is not naturally occurring, but is a vaccine strain, and has never been seen before in Europe. This enabled investigators to link the outbreak to a company which lies less than three miles down the road from the source of the outbreak. Merial Animal Health, a private pharmaceutical firm shares facilities with a government laboratory in Pirbright, and is commissioned by the European Union to formulate new vaccines for animal diseases. Both companies are expected to meet tight regulatory standards for biosecurity. Read The Full Story Montana Gov.: Wildfire Is In 'Hands Of God' 2007-08-05 00:59:32 Authorities worried about firefighters' safety on Saturday pulled them off a fast-growing wildfire in western Montana and told residents of about 200 homes to get out of the way. "This fire is in the hands of God right now," Gov. Brian Schweitzer said after taking a helicopter flight over the blaze, which already had burned nearly 8 square miles since starting Friday afternoon. Winds between 25 and 30 mph were helping to fan the blaze northeast of Missoula, near the popular getaway spots of Seeley and Placid lakes. The fire was volatile and could grow rapidly, jeopardizing crews, said Schweitzer.  "We can't risk firefighters' lives," he said. Residents of about 200 homes scattered around Seeley Lake and Placid Lake to the south were ordered to evacuate, said Jamie Kirby, a fire information officer. The governor told them to "open the gates, turn the livestock loose, take your pets, shut off the propane at the tank, shut off the electricity and get out." Read The Full Story U.S. House Approves Foreign Wiretap Bill 2007-08-05 00:58:40 The U.S. House handed President Bush a victory Saturday, voting to expand the government's abilities to eavesdrop without warrants on foreign suspects whose communications pass through the United States. The 227-183 vote, which followed the Senate's approval Friday, sends the bill to Bush for his signature. He had urged Congress to approve it, saying Saturday, "Protecting America is our most solemn obligation." The administration said the measure is needed to speed the National Security Agency's ability to intercept phone calls, e-mails and other communications involving foreign nationals "reasonably believed to be outside the United States". Civil liberties groups and many Democrats said it goes too far, possibly enabling the government to wiretap U.S. residents communicating with overseas parties without adequate oversight from courts or Congress. The bill updates the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, known as FISA. It gives the government leeway to intercept, without warrants, communications between foreigners that are routed through equipment in United States, provided that ``foreign intelligence information'' is at stake. Bush describes the effort as an anti-terrorist program, but the bill is not limited to terror suspects and could have wider applications, said some lawmakers. Read The Full Story	Weapons U.S. Has Given To Iraq - Including 190,000 AK-47 Rifles And Pistols - Are Missing 2007-08-06 00:43:40 The Pentagon has lost track of about 190,000 AK-47 assault rifles and pistols given to Iraqi security forces in 2004 and 2005, according to a new government report, raising fears that some of those weapons have fallen into the hands of insurgents fighting U.S. forces in Iraq.  The report from the Government Accountability Office indicates that U.S. military officials do not know what happened to 30 percent of the weapons the United States distributed to Iraqi forces from 2004 through early this year as part of an effort to train and equip the troops. The highest previous estimate of unaccounted-for weapons was 14,000, in a report issued last year by the inspector general for Iraq reconstruction. The United States has spent $19.2 billion trying to develop Iraqi security forces since 2003, said the GAO,  including at least $2.8 billion to buy and deliver equipment. The GAO said weapons distribution was haphazard and rushed and failed to follow established procedures, particularly from 2004 to 2005, when security training was led by Gen. David H. Petraeus, who now commands all U.S. forces in Iraq. The Pentagon did not dispute the GAO findings, saying it has launched its own investigation and indicating it is working to improve tracking. Although controls have been tightened since 2005, the inability of the United States to track weapons with tools such as serial numbers makes it nearly impossible for the U.S. military to know whether it is battling an enemy equipped by American taxpayers. Read The Full Story Power Cuts Worsen As Iraq's Power Grid Nears Collapse 2007-08-06 00:42:55 Iraq's power grid is on the brink of collapse because of insurgent sabotage, rising demand, fuel shortages and provinces that are unplugging local power stations from the national grid, according to officials. Aziz al-Shimari, an electricity ministry spokesman, said at the weekend that power generation nationally was only meeting half the demand, and there had been four nationwide blackouts over the past two days. The shortages across the country were the worst since the summer of 2003, shortly after the U.S.-led invasion to topple Saddam Hussein, he added. Power supplies in Baghdad have been sporadic all summer and now are down to just a few hours a day at most. The water supply in the capital has also been severely curtailed by power blackouts and cuts that have affected pumping and filtration stations. Kerbala province, south of Baghdad, has been without power for three days, causing water mains to go dry in the Shia holy city of Kerbala, the provincial capital. Read The Full Story British Officials Believe Human Error At Private Pharmaceutical Lab Led To Hoof And Mouth Outbreak 2007-08-06 00:42:03 Government officials believe human error at the private pharmaceutical firm Merial Animal Health is the most likely source for the return of foot and mouth disease, it emerged last night. As health and safety inspectors began examining the firm's laboratories at Pirbright in Surrey, Whitehall sources suggested the potential biosecurity lapse would amount to a breach of procedures rather than negligence, which could give rise to criminal charges. Senior officials believe the virus may have been transported by an individual or by a car from the research complex to the farm at the center of the outbreak, about four miles away. If the virus had been airborne, it is difficult to explain why other herds closer to the site were not first affected, sources told the Guardian. Merial researches and manufactures animal vaccines, and shares the Pirbright site with the government's Institute for Animal Health (IAH). It has been established that the strain of the highly contagious virus found in the infected cattle was held by both organizations and was used in a vaccine batch manufactured by Merial on July 16. Read The Full Story Toddler, Relatives Run Over In New York City - Driver Admits Drinking 2007-08-06 00:41:23 A woman driving home after a mid-afternoon vodka binge ran over and injured a 3-year-old girl and her family, prosecutors said, not bothering to stop until someone saw the toddler's stroller being dragged and yelled, "Look what's under your car!" The girl, Mia Tetelman, her grandmother and her great-grandmother were crossing a boulevard in Queens on Saturday afternoon when they were run over. Mia was hurled from her stroller, breaking her ribs and bruising her lungs; she was in critical condition Sunday. Her grandmother, Aviva Govshovitz, 57, suffered cuts and bruises. Her great-grandmother, Frida Shein, 86, was left with a broken rib, a black eye and other injuries. The driver, Susan E. Karnabe, went home after a passer-by pulled the girl's stroller out from under her car, even though witnesses told her she had hit people, said prosecutors. Read The Full Story Iran's 'Morals' Police Arrest 230 In Raid On 'Satanic' Concert 2007-08-06 00:40:27 Iran's drive to enforce Islamic morals netted revellers from Britain and Sweden after police swooped on a "satanic" concert organized over the Internet. Police arrested 230 people and seized drugs, alcohol and 800 illicit CDs after raiding the event in Karaj, 12 miles west of Tehran. Those arrested included young women in skimpy and "inappropriate" clothing, said officers. Reza Zarei, Tehran's provincial police chief, said the operation also resulted in the confiscation of 20 video cameras, with which organizers allegedly planned to shoot "obscene" films and then blackmail female participants. Read The Full Story A Generation Of U.S. Briges Were Built With Less Steel 2007-08-05 16:01:40 The 40-year-old bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last week was built during an era when designers were confident they knew enough about bridge strength and weight loads that they could build bridges lighter and cheaper. Yet a number of bridge collapses have taught engineers painful lessons about the frailty of bridges and the punishment they take from heavy trucks, strong tides and even the errant barge that slams into bridge supports, according to engineers, bridge builders and academics. The challenge, they say, is that many of the nation's 594,709 bridges were built during the 1950s and 1960s, an era when designers didn't fully understand the effects of metal fatigue or other challenges. Now, many of those bridges are facing increased scrutiny. "Maybe we out-thought ourselves for a little while," said Mal Kerley, Virginia's chief engineer, referring to postwar bridge-building when the interstate highway system was created. "What has happened over time is that we learned things." Read The Full Story In California, 39 Counties' Voting Systems In Question 2007-08-05 16:01:12 California's county election officials scrambled on Saturday to develop contingency plans for the February presidential primary election after California's secretary of state imposed broad restrictions on electronic voting machines that she said are susceptible to hacking. Secretary of State Debra Bowen decertified the voting machines used in 39 counties, including Los Angeles County's InkaVote system. She said some of the systems could be recertified in time for the primary if new security upgrades are made. Los Angeles County's system, with which voters use ink devices to mark ballots that are tabulated with a scanner, could be recertified by February. The county did not submit the system for an audit by Bowen's office, and that appears to be why it was decertified. Read The Full Story Global Warming: Seas Could Rise Much More Than We Thought 2007-08-05 16:00:08 Rises in sea levels caused by climate change are likely to be bigger than predicted and more dangerous, but scientists are reluctant to "stick their necks out" on the issue for fear of being labelled alarmist, a leading international expert is warning. Stefan Rahmstorf, a lead scientific author of the recent United Nations report on climate change, has just published a new way of projecting sea-level rises caused by global warming. His method suggests much higher rises than those published by the U.N. panel this year, adding to concerns that the panel was too conservative in its last report. "This isn't just my concern: there's a number of scientists who were not very happy with the impression given in the summary of the report that sea-level rise projections had dropped compared to the previous report," Professor Rahmstorf told the Sydney Morning Herald when he arrived in Sydney. The estimates of sea-level rises in the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) did not include the full impact of the melting of the polar icecaps because too little is known about the risks it poses over the long term. Read The Full Story At Least 13 Killed In Baghdad Mortar Attack; U.S. Troops Kill An Al-Qaeda Leader 2007-08-05 15:59:25 At least 13 people were killed Sunday morning when mortar shells rained down on their east Baghdad neighborhood, said police. At least three mortar rounds hit a major thoroughfare in Mashtal, a predominately Shiite neighborhood on the eastern outskirts of the capital, according to police. Most of the victims had been waiting in line for fuel, said an officer. Lines outside of gas stations increasingly have been targeted by car bomb and mortar attacks because of the large number of people gathered outside. The growing popularity of fuel-powered generators, increased traffic on Baghdad's streets and the large percentage of broken gas pumps have resulted in fuel lines often stretching for more than a mile. Drivers generally budget six to nine hours to wait in line to fill up their cars. At least 65 people were killed in car bomb attacks near two different gas stations on Aug. 2. Read The Full Story Gonzales Now Says Top Aides Got Political Briefings 2007-08-05 01:00:54 Justice Department officials attended at least a dozen political briefings at the White House since 2001, including some meetings led by Karl Rove, President Bush's chief political adviser, and others that were focused on election trends prior to the 2006 midterm contest, according to documents released Friday. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales told the Senate Judiciary Committee last week that he did not believe that senior Justice Department officials had attended such briefings; but he clarified his testimony Friday in a letter to Congress, emphasizing that the briefings were not held at the agency's offices. Internal guidelines forbid partisan meetings at the Justice Department and sharply restrict the ability of employees to participate directly in election campaigns or other political activities, a Justice official said Friday. The official, who declined to be identified publicly discussing the issue, said the type of meetings held at the White House did not appear to run afoul of department policy. A list of briefings for Justice officials was included with a letter sent yesterday from Gonzales to Patrick J. Leahy  (D-Vermont), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which sought to clarify and correct parts of his testimony before the panel on July 24. The list was sent to House oversight committee Chairman Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.) in June, but it had not been released publicly before Friday. Read The Full Story Minneapolis Bridge Search Ends For Day With No Luck 2007-08-05 01:00:21 Divers spent a third fruitless day searching for victims of a deadly bridge collapse, finding no bodies inside a crushed car pulled earlier Saturday from the murky Mississippi River waters. Authorities said they had been unable to check at least one other car lying beneath another vehicle on the river bottom. They planned to return to work Sunday with sonar equipment to scan areas upriver and downriver. An examination of a car lifted onto a barge Saturday "did not find anything in the vehicle in terms of victims or human remains," said Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek. Police also released an official list Saturday of the eight people reported missing, matching estimates that had been lowered from the hours immediately after the collapse. The official death toll is five. Read The Full Story Desperate Bid To Save South Asia Flood Victims 2007-08-05 00:59:51 Aid agencies were struggling Saturday to get relief to millions of villagers marooned in north east India, Nepal and Bangladesh who have been hit by devastating floods, as the Red Cross warned that as few as 2 per cent of those affected were getting the help they needed. Up to 20 million people across the whole of south Asia are believed to have been affected by the most severe floods in living memory, according to UNICEF. Eastern India was facing a health crisis as hospitals in the region were overwhelmed by people suffering from waterborne diseases. Health workers and aid groups in Assam in north east India were working around the clock to treat and feed many of the three million people displaced or surrounded by floodwaters with the limited medicines and supplies available. Elsewhere, villagers were getting desperate and hungry. "Our family survived for a week on buffalo milk, but now the animal has stopped producing milk as it has gone without food for days," said Meghu Yadav, a villager in the Samastipur district of impoverished Bihar state in the north of the country. Read The Full Story U.S. Muslim Sect Suspected Of 'Executing' Newspaper Editor 2007-08-05 00:59:03 For Chauncey Bailey, one of the most respected black journalists in America, last Thursday morning's trip to work should have been like any other. The editor of the Oakland Post was strolling down the pavement in Oakland, California, a mostly black city next to San Francisco. It was 7:30 a.m. and Bailey, 57, lived just a few blocks away. Suddenly, a man dressed in black and wearing a mask appeared. Shots rang out and Bailey collapsed from three bullet wounds. He was dead before an ambulance arrived; the apparent victim of an assassination. Bailey's murder has shocked the San Francisco Bay Area. It has also rippled out into the rest of America as the country comes to grips with the daylight murder of a senior newspaper editor. There is little doubt that Bailey was executed. It was the kind of ruthless murder more likely to be found on the streets of Moscow than northern California. "This was no random act," said Sergeant Derwin Longmire, an Oakland police spokesman.
