By DAVID SHEPARDSOM MediaNews Group Wire Service Washington - A federal commission advising Congress on economic policies with China will hear a U.S. senator Monday who will argue the United States can no longer "ignore the fact that China is cheating" in committing unfair trade practices. The six-year-old U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission will meet at the University of MichiganDearborn and will hear testimony from United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger. U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Michigan U.S. Reps. John Dingell and Sander Levin, both Democrats, and from Republican Rep. Thad McCotter. Also testifying will be Leo Gerard, president of the United Steelworkers union. The hearing, "China's Impact on the U.S. Auto and Auto Parts s e m i - a n n.u a I oriental rug UP TO 7 0 % OFF!

The appraisal had errors that falsely boosted the home's value, including misstated square footage and use of inappropriate comparable-home sales. James Esters of Parker, Colo., a licensed appraiser since 2004, confirmed that he prepared that report. He did not deny that errors may have been made but said they were honest mistakes made when he first entered the business. r^ leading response: 41 percent to 50 percent of the time. Some appraisers say corrupt mortgage brokers and loan officers have compromised the appraisal industry, which has long been considered the primary check against fraud. "I am battling against appraisers who are on steroids _ guys who are saying, 'What number do you want?' " said Matt George, a Littleton, Colo., appraiser who believes he has lost tens of thousands of dollars in business by refusing to fudge numbers. Some mortgage brokers call several appraisers and only pay the one that provides the valuation they want, George said. Sale $ Pakistan Nain $14942 $4995 Afghan Veg.
