Corrente can appeal any compliance order to the city Board of Building and Safety Commissioners, although it is unlikely that the handicapped-access requirement would be waived since it is a state law, Steinbach said.

WASHINGTON — Homeowners struggling to deal with sharp increases in their adjustable-rate mortgage payments were hit with a record number of foreclosure notices in the spring as the crisis in sub-prime lending intensified. The problem was the most severe in the industrial Midwest and former housing boom areas such as California and Florida, but economists warned that the situation would get worse in coming months as an estimated 2 million adjustable-rate mortgages with low introductory interest rates reset to much higher rates. The crisis is most severe in sub-prime mortgages -- loans provided to borrowers with weak credit -- but it is now spreading to other types of mortgages, according to a quarterly report released Thursday by the Mortgage Bankers Assn. That report showed that the number of homeowners who got foreclosure notices in the April-June quarter hit an all-time high of 0. 65%, up from 0. 58% in the first three months of the year. It marked the third consecutive quarter that a record was set. The association's survey found that the delinquency rate, which tracks the number of people who are behind in their payments but have not yet entered the foreclosure process, was also up sharply during the spring.

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN — At least 14 people were killed Tuesday in the roadside bombing of a Pakistani military truck, an attack authorities blamed on Islamic militants. The powerful blast occurred just outside Peshawar, the nearest large city to a tribal area along the border with Afghanistan that has been raked by fighting for nearly a week. Islamic militants had threatened retaliation for a government military offensive in the Bajaur tribal agency, a suspected refuge of Al Qaeda figures and other insurgents. The renewed violence comes amid an escalating political crisis over efforts by Pakistan's ruling coalition, made up of former opposition parties, to expel President Pervez Musharraf from office.

WASHINGTON — Calling the nation's system of caring for wounded troops an antiquated, bureaucratic nightmare, President Bush on Tuesday announced an overhaul intended to streamline procedures and provide new support for families. The plan would change the way injured military personnel are evaluated and compensated: Those whose injuries prevent them from returning to active duty would be assigned pensions, and responsibility for their care would be quickly shifted from the Pentagon to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

New studies in infants show that the mercury used as a preservative in vaccines is cleared from the body at least 10 times faster than researchers had previously believed, a finding that casts further doubt on the theory that the preservative causes autism. Researchers had believed that the ethyl mercury in the preservative thimerosal is metabolized in much the same way as the methyl mercury found in fish and other sources. But the first study of ethyl mercury in children shows that levels of mercury in the blood are only a tenth as high as expected, and the toxic element is cleared out rapidly, according to a paper to be published Monday in the journal Pediatrics. There is a "clear relationship" between the amount of mercury that must be in the blood, the length of time it must remain there, and the likelihood of it accumulating in the brain to cause damage, said Dr Michael E .
