Plaxico Burress | Plaxico Burress Wife

In the United States is worse apparently shot himself in the leg of what is driving drunk and killing a human being or kill many dogs. That was the message given by the U.S. courts today when sentenced former New York Giants Wide Receiver Plaxico Burress to two years behind bars ... Or 23 months, more than Donte Stallworth is to kill someone with your car, and four months older than Michael Vick to serve their disgusting acts of killing numerous dogs (although Burress could go in 20 months for good behavior).

Chest bump to the legal system!

This makes no sense on many levels.

Does a man who accidentally shot in the leg really deserve two years in prison? No, I'm not a big fan of Plaxico Burress and all things silly, irresponsible, has done in his career that probably deserves an extreme punishment ... but I think that a sentence of two years in prison is a bit much. Especially when compared with the other two incidents mentioned above! If you followed the same rule, in this case as it did in them, must come down with Burress serving the community for the love of god.

Scottie Pippen, former star of the Chicago Bulls lost $ 120 million career earnings due to the ideas of a bad business and poor financial planning. Evander Holyfield apparently made more than $ 250 million during his career and broke the reports. It has been reported to "smart" business decisions look very bad. Lenny Dykstra was an icon of baseball success, but several business ideas did not lead him into bankruptcy in 2009, losing the entire $ 30 million of your dollars. Latrell Sprewell, who used to be worth $ 96 million, once turned down a 21 million dollars, it said there was enough money. He began to have their personal property recovered in 2007. The first to go was his $ 1.5 million yacht.

On 17 April, the GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, released the results of their vaunted investigation of the title industry, launched a year ago at the request of then-House Financial Services Committee, Michael Oxley.

The report, entitled "Title Insurance: Actions needed to improve the supervision of the Title industry and protect consumers," identified significant barriers to successful regulation of the title industry, but for all the weak links in the chain regulation, the GAO provides a remedy, calling the active involvement of federal regulators, state and local.

"Given the position of consumers' weak market title insurance, regulatory efforts to ensure reasonable prices and curb the illegal marketing activities are critical," the report said. "Given the variety of professionals involved in a real estate transaction, lack of coordination between different regulators within states and between HUD and the states would hamper efforts to implement the compensation for referrals of consumers. Due to the involvement of federal and state regulators, including multiple state regulators, from regulatory improvements will be a challenge and requires a coordinated effort between all involved. "

This effort is strongly supported by all industry players, but exactly how and when the recommendations of the GAO will take place is a source of debate.

The reputation of a person is important and valuable, and should be protected. In July 2010 an employee of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Shirley Sherrod, was all the evening news, with accusations of racism. Even the NAACP denounced and repudiated it. Shortly after the controversy to the surface, Ms. Sherrod was summarily dismissed by the USDA. In fact, she was heading to a meeting when he received a series of calls, one of which shows the "White House" wanted out of there. Ms. Sherrod, under extreme pressure resigned. All this took place in little more than a day. It all was a giant, public misunderstanding, with statements taken out of context, made in complete contradiction to the reports, and a much larger story.

How could it get that far (the recall)?

Ms. Sherrod is a manager of respect, a positive "face" for the government, and represents his employer as well. One day she was competent, highly regarded, and insurance. The next day, his name was on all the national media, who left his job in disgrace, and was unemployed, almost a national pariah.

Ms. Sherrod is a black woman (African American). He was accused of having discriminated against a white farmer twenty years ago. Unfortunately, Ms. Sherrod recently spoke of his experience, which took place several decades earlier, at a public meeting. Like almost everything these days, his speech was videotaped. When an edited version of his comments were leaked to conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart stagefor set a rapid sequence of events.
