| Lehman Bros confident it will prevail
Lehman Brothers is confident that it will be exonerated from charges of colluding to evade tax by citing official guidelines allowing it to set up Global Thai Property Fund. The US financial house yesterday met with the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to submit documentary evidence, a source said. The package included the directive from the Financial Sector Restructuring Authority (FRA) giving winners of auctions for the assets of the now-defunct 56 finance companies a month to establish a property fund to manage the assets, he said. The DSI will contact Lehman Brothers about its decision at the beginning of June, he said. Lehman Brothers had signed a purchase agreement with the FRA within seven days of winning the bidding, as required by the FRA, the source added.
03/04: Long Beach Symphony Association's 24th Crescendo annual ...
ON MARCH 4, the Long Beach Symphony Association held the 24th Crescendo annual auction fund-raiser for the orchestra. Herald trumpeters greeted hundreds of supporters at the doors of the Renaissance Hotel. Once again, Steve Lang and his merry band had turned the scene into a magic space - this time of sparkling silver, blue and white. Chairpersons Paulette and Henry Matson welcomed one and all as attendees moved in to bid on silent auction items. As has become customary, the biggest drawing card was the extensiveness and high quality of the wine section, which ended the silent auction. Dinner tables featured lush centerpieces of blue and white hydrangeas, white roses, lilies, silver safari birch and blue thistle paperwhites. A large screen entertained and informed bidders as they dined on truffled tenderloin and oak-roasted salmon or truffled vegetable feuillete.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The worst of the U.S. housing slump may be over but not the foreclosure nightmare that haunts many of the nation's homeowners. More than a quarter-million (253,803) pre-foreclosures and notices of pending foreclosure auctions were filed nationwide in the first quarter of the year. That means 2.4 out of every 1,000 homeowners faced losing their property to foreclosure in the first three months of 2007, according to new and expanded foreclosure filing numbers now available from ForeclosureS.com, a California-based real estate investment advisory firm and publisher of foreclosure and property information. Those numbers are up 22.5 percent from the 207,128 filings in the fourth quarter 2006. They also don't include tens of thousands more now-vacant properties that actually were lost to foreclosure during that same period.
