		<description><![CDATA[Bank of America says it is partially lifting its nationwide freeze on foreclosures even as regulators pressed for an investigation of major banks. The move by Bank of America, the largest mortgage servicing lender, could lift investor hopes for an easing in the foreclosure documents crisis. The foreclosure woes have threatened bank earnings and cast even more doubt on the health of the fragile US housing market. At issue are allegations that banks failed to review foreclosure documents properly or submitted false statements [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I digress, I haven&#8217;t been impressed with the mall here in Charles County recently.  One of the reasons is because they have been doing a lot of renovation work on it, and navigating through a maze of cones and equipment isn&#8217;t exactly my cup of tea. It looks like they&#8217;re getting close to finishing their work, so I stopped by to take a couple of pictures and see what the changes look like. In short, I think the modernization project looks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Looks like Swan Point will be getting it&#8217;s fancy new hotel after all!  The Charles County Commissioners voted to approve the Tax Incremental Finance (TIF) Bond recently, which will pave the way for the development infrastructure there. Under the tax incremental financing, agreement, the county will issue $26 million in public bonds to fund the project’s infrastructure. The debt service for those bonds would be repaid using a portion of the new taxes generated by the increased property value that [...]]]></description>

What does this mean for people with KB contracts?  They said they are finishing construction of lots that are being built, but they are not accepting new contracts, or [...]]]></description>

Obviously, this is a sensitive subject, and I don&#8217;t want to be the one that yells &#8220;FIRE!&#8221; in a crowded building.  This is a legitimate concern for folks, so I wanted to break the issue down a little bit here.
