are investigating reports of human trafficking at the upscale Virginia home 
of a Saudi military attach, after immigration agents removed two domestic 
workers from the house earlier this week.Immigration and Customs Enforcement 
officers on Tuesday night removed the two alleged victims, Filipino women 
who claim the Saudi attach confiscated their passports and made them work

Navajo Generating Station, as seen from Lake Powell in Page, Ariz.APPresident 
Obama, in each of his last three State of the Union addresses, 
spoke urgently of the need to cut through the "red tape" in 
Washington.But regulatory costs for the American public and business community, 
it turns out, soared during his first term. A new report by 
the conservative Heritage Foundation estimates that annual regulatory costs 
increased during Obama's first four years by nearly $70 billion -- with 
more regulations in store for term two."While historical records are incomplete, 
that magnitude of regulation is likely unmatched by any administration in 
the nation's history," the report said.The analysis by Heritage did not 
count every single regulation issued in Obama's first term, but looked at 
"major" regulations impacting the private sector. It came up with 131 over 
the past four years -- many of them environmental. In addition to 
the $70 billion in annual costs from those rules, the report estimated 
that new regulations from the first term led to roughly $12 billion 
in one-time "implementation costs."The math is up for debate. Even Heritage 
acknowledges there is no "official accounting" for federal regulatory costs. 
But government agencies, as well as think tanks like Heritage, have tried 
to track the price tag by looking at records maintained by the 
Government Accountability Office and age
