GOVERNMENT - Burnett Pays U.S. Army $15.5 Mil. to Settle Lawsuit
It seems there was a mistake made when it came to billing the US ARMY for work done on their website between the agency and through whom the website was developed. Evidently the over-billing error was brought to the Army's attention but no action was ever taken on the error until now. 12.1 million will be returned in cash while 3.4 million will be credited to the account for work that was never billed for. The agency was sued for overcharging for the web development and filing false claims.

UPDATE: EVENT PROMO - Starbucks Free Java Violates Election Law, State Says
Don't sweat it! Every customer is now entitled to receive a free cup of joe in celebration of election day. According to Washington state officials, Starbucks will be violating election laws if they choose to follow through with an election day "voters only" promotion. Federal law prohibits any gift to those who vote; there is no difference between a free cup of coffee and a bribe to vote. Ben & Jerry's has also avoided the election conflict by offering a free scoop of ice-cream to anyone for three hours in the evening who comes into their stores. This is a great little reminder for companies and their advertising agencies to look into and follow the laws before approaching a new campaign idea. Don't forget your free cup of joe!
