Titles from major book publisher Random House will now appear in Apple’s iBooks store. The news was one of many talking points covered earlier today at Apple’s media event. Random House had previously been the only major publisher not represented in Apple’s popular iOS book store, as it was not willing to grant Apple the 30% cut taken on titles sold through iBooks. The addition of Random House is a major coup for Apple as it looks to compete with the likes of Amazon’s Kindle bookstore and other popular offerings. Hit the break for Apple’s full press release.

With the company’s future already clouded by Steve Jobs’ latest medical leave, the possibility of the iPad’s chief designer, Jonathan Ive, cashing out ups the uncertainty, Dan Lyons writes.


Is Apple losing its design guru?


When Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced in January that he would take a third medical leave, the biggest concern was the cloud of uncertainty that hovered over the company. Now that uncertainty has become an issue again, as rumors have started swirling that Apple might lose its chief designer, Jonathan Ive.

Reports in Ive’s native England suggest that the man who oversaw the design of the iPhone and iPad wants to spend more time in the U.K., putting him at odds with Apple’s board enough that he would consider leaving the company. Although Ive and Apple won’t comment, the scenario is plausible for two reasons: First, Ive is about to cash in options valued at $30 million that he was granted in 2008; and second, Ive has an especially close relationship with Jobs. 


Whether Ive stays or goes, the brouhaha shows the challenges that Apple is increasingly likely to face given the questions about Jobs’ role in the coming months. One scenario being bandied about by Apple-watchers suggests Ive is making a power play to succeed Jobs; it seems just as likely, however, that he simply may not want to work at Apple if Jobs isn’t there. 


Still others think the entire notion that Ive might leave is completely unfounded. But either way, the whole incident shows how the Jobs health situation is bringing more drama to a company that, until now, has been a model of tight-lipped discipline.


Apple’s products are famous for their sleek designs, and conventional wisdom holds that losing Ive would be a terrible blow to Apple—“Apple’s worst nightmare,” Britain’s Guardian called it. But the truth is, losing Ive may not be as big a deal as some Apple watchers think.


For one thing, Apple has loads of bench strength in every department, and because of its success it can attract just about anyone it wants.


“How much of this is Steve, how much is Jon, how much someone else? Steve always had an eye for design. The designer is only as good as the client,” says Jean-Louis Gassée.


For another, the real genius behind Apple’s designs might not be Ive—but rather Jobs.


That’s the educated guess of Jean-Louis Gassée, a former top executive at Apple and a longtime close watcher of the company who still has many connections there.


Gassée points out that Ive was already working at Apple when Jobs returned to the company in 1996. Ive joined the company in 1992, when Jobs was gone from the company, having been ousted by the board in 1985.


And before Jobs returned to Apple, Ive wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire. The first products that Ive designed under Jobs were the “Bondi Blue” iMac and the somewhat ugly iBook. Ive’s next products, the "desk lamp" Mac and the early metal laptops, were better looking, Gassée says.

The Found Animals Foundation is an LA-based non-profit devoted to saving the lives of animals and solving the problem of animal overpopulation. Founded by Dr. Gary Michelson, a billionaire entrepreneur with a lifelong love of animals, Found Animals blends compassion with innovation and business sense. The organization does everything from working with local shelters to finding homes for strays to offering multi-million dollar incentives for research on animal sterilization.



The foundation will be opening its first ever "Adopt and Shop" retail space next month, so we caught up with Aimee Gilbreath, Executive Director of Found Animals, to find out a little bit more about the foundation, its goals, and LA's newest "pet shop."



HP: What is Found Animals most committed to?



AG: Our mission at Found Animals is to minimize the number of pets killed in animal shelters. We believe that our society, in the 21st century, can do far better than killing 4 million animals each year at a cost to taxpayers of over $2 billion annually. We look for innovative, entrepreneurial approaches to solving this problem. Over the past three years we have built a world class team of business and science professionals and launched programs that include sterilization, microchipping, owner support, adoption and more. Found Animals considers Los Angeles our test market for programs with plans to export successful ideas.



HP: What is the one thing you are most proud of that Found Animals has been able to accomplish?



AG: I’m most proud of our accomplishments with the Michelson Prize and Grant program. It’s our own version of the X-Prize and offers $25 million in prize money for creating a low cost non-surgical sterilant for use in cats and dogs. In addition, we are offering up to $50 million in grant funding to help researchers develop a prize winning technology. Sterilization is one of the best tools we have in our arsenal to reduce the number of unwanted pets that crowd the shelter system and overwhelm available resources. Unfortunately, current surgical spay/neuter approaches are expensive and often difficult to access for the pets and people who need them most. A “doggie Depo Provera” or “Kitty Norplant” type of product would revolutionize how we manage the pet population.



We created the program from scratch and its world class. Our Director of Scientific Research, Dr. Shirley Johnston, is world renowned in small animal reproduction and our Scientific Advisory Board is comprised of experts in many fields. Our program staff has created a fantastic grant process and we do outreach to scientists worldwide. So far we’ve received over 140 grant applications and a dozen projects have been approved for funding totaling over $5 million.





It looks like women have caught up with men in numbers in the workplace. For the first time in history, women in the USA now outnumber men in the workforce, and there are now more women in supervisory positions than there are males. The question is whether they will handle the downside of working any better than men.



According to an article by Ella L. J. Edmondson Bell, Ph.D., titled The 21st Century Workplace -- Are Women the New Men?, the economic downturn has hit men harder. They held nearly 80 percent of jobs that have been lost during what is now being called the "mancession." Will women now inherit the stress, pressure, exhaustion, burn out and heart attacks commonly associated with male leaders in business?



Some predict that this new female-dominated workplace will mean a softening of the corporate culture, with more benevolent leaders. Others foresee just the opposite. Ella says many women don't want to be seen as "soft" -- and others simply aren't. No one would call Carly Fiorina, the head of Hewlett Packard from 1999 to 2005, a wilting lily. According to her memoir, Tough Choices, she was sometimes referred to as Chainsaw Carly.



All of this is especially relevant on the entrepreneurial side, since statistics show that women are starting businesses at more than twice the rate of their male counterparts. Some would argue that the growing success rate of women entrepreneurs shows that they are resourceful, and better able to succeed, despite the odds.



While I'm sure we will continue to see progress on the female side, I predict that they will struggle with the same major challenges faced today by men. These include:




  1. Funding your dream. Raising money is hard, whether you are counting on friends, investors, or banks. I rarely see women at angel investment groups, either asking for money, or offering to fund new ventures. Men seem more focused on this one.



  2. Need for increased confidence and mindset skills. Many women and men are paralyzed by perfection, plagued by pessimism, and the need to satisfy others, rather than themselves. We need more women leaders.



  3. Motivation to succeed. Every entrepreneur needs to love what they do, and believe so strongly in their product or service that they can weather the tough times. On this one, it's easy to spot the ones with passion, from either gender.



  4. Manage time and priorities. Women, often more than men, try to do too much. It's hard to balance the continual demands of the business, personal relationships, and home life. Every entrepreneur needs to prioritize the important tasks ahead of urgent tasks.



  5. Never stop learning. After you start your business, the learning really begins. True entrepreneurs look at failures as their best learning experiences. Networking, and using your network is the next most important element of learning.



I don't see any challenges which are so gender specific that they can't be overcome by any entrepreneur. Yet I don't think women should be convinced that the battle for equality is almost over. There is still the question of why there are so few women in high places, and why the average income for women in business is about 68% of men's income.



What I am hoping is that women will not just be the new men, and suffer from the same maladies and limitations. I'll be looking for women to create the "new business culture" that every worker wants -- better role definitions, more effective and productive leadership, and better work-life balance. That would make women entrepreneurs the new women, rather than the new men!

What to anticipate Whenever Getting a Roofers

When it comes time to correct or substitute your roof, it's really a daunting job to find someone who is actually competent for the job. There are lots of roofing companies available, but the types who'll do a great job for a reasonable price aren't often simple to find.

Job interview and Consultation


November 2004 - Job Interview at ACOTEL West 33rd St, Time Square - Third Month in New York by Gubatron

Most roofing contractors offer free consultations. This is especially important, because it provides them a chance to assess what your homes roof requirements, also it provides you with an opportunity to evaluate them. As with all companies, trust your intuition concerning the people a person allow up on your roof. No issue exactly how good a contractor's status or even suggestion, he should begin by showing you having a business card. If a service provider occurs searching as well as talking within an less than professional manner, most likely the job he is going to do may also be less than professional. This isn't to say that you ought to expect companies to reach within fits. They will be climbing on your roof, therefore most will be dressed up in denim jeans as well as work boots or even athletic shoes. If the actual service provider seems to be interested in talking on their mobile phone during your homes roof compared to he is within evaluating your own roof's needs, that may be another sign that he is not really the one to do the job. For your legal safety, make sure that the actual service provider offers adequate liability insurance coverage.

Roofs by iansand

Anticipate the service provider is going to be going up in your roof. In fact, any kind of service provider who not want to increase in your roofing to evaluate the problem should be instantly discounted. Those who are serious about their own work may either create a drawing of your roof's surface as well as tag trouble spots onto it as they go through their evaluation, or they will consider photos or video clip of the surface while they're up there. This is a very essential step, since it allows you to see exactly what the problems are as well as know how they'll be set.

Estimate


Alderbrook House by Emilio Guerra

The next step would be the written estimate. The contractor will require out their loan calculator and are available track of an itemized estimation. Some companies will go out to their truck or truck and write up the suggestion, while others may crisis the actual amounts to do the job prior to you. Once you're given the proposal, make sure that you comprehend exactly which items is going to be used, how long the task will require and when there are any extra or even hidden costs that may occur throughout the repair of the roofing. The service provider will be able to answer many of these questions effortlessly and forewarn you of any additional costs that could be incurred should the roof's ethics be damaged within.

After you have obtained several created estimations from roofing companies, assess exactly what each company or even contractor is willing to offer you for that price. Do not always low cost the greatest bid, simply because sometimes the highest bet will in reality function as the contractor who the task correctly. Additionally, be wary associated with prices for bids that are significantly less than other people. They may be using inferior items or be unethical about the chance of hidden costs. Above all, trust your intuition as well as go with the service provider who enables you to feel most comfortable about handing more than your money.

 

Seven Uyghurs Sentenced to Death

2011-03-23

Critics of the sentences say China has politicized the robberies as acts of terrorism.

 

AFP

A Uyghur man walks past armed Chinese security forces in Urumqi, July 17, 2009.

Chinese authorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang have ordered the executions of seven ethnic minority Uyghur men convicted of "violent" crimes, official media said on Wednesday.

 

The death sentences were handed down by the Supreme People's Court in recent days, according to state media in the regional capital, Urumqi.

 

The men were accused in connection with three separate attacks late last year in the Silk Road city of Kashgar, according to the news website Urumqi Online.

 

According to another website, the Xinjiang-based Tianshan news site, Aimaiti Tuheti, Yiming Dawuti, and unnamed "others" killed a security guard at a pedestrian mall as part of a failed Aug. 7 robbery attempt.

 

In a separate incident on Oct. 12, it said, Nuermaimaiti Aobulikasimu and 11 others broke into a house, bound and killed the couple living in it, and took their possessions.

 

It said the group also broke into the homes of two brothers, robbed them, and killed six people in a Nov. 11 attack in Kashgar.

 

The report gave no information about the victims or the schedule for the executions.

 

Three of the men were sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, a sentence that is normally commuted to life imprisonment in China's judicial system.

 

They were convicted of deliberate homicide and armed robbery by the Kashgar Intermediate People's Court in the first instance.

 

'Strike hard' campaign

 

A Han Chinese resident of Urumqi surnamed Yang said a reference to "terrorism" in official news reports on the case showed that it was being politicized by the authorities, who have launched a series of "strike hard" campaigns in Xinjiang following deadly ethnic violence in July 2009.

 

"There is an implied political meaning; that they were somehow engaged in separatist activities or ethnic divisions," said Yang.

 

Exile Uyghur groups said the trials had been conducted behind closed doors, with scant opportunity for public scrutiny.

 

"The entire process against these men, from the trial through to the judgment, was opaque," said Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the Munich-based World Uyghur Congress.

 

"There was also very little reasonable evidence to convict them on a legal basis, because all the evidence came from one side of the case," he said.

 

"We strongly condemn the Chinese government for continuing to pursue their policies of ethnic division," said Raxit.

 

"We are also strongly opposed to the death penalty in this case."

 

Earlier cases

 

Last month, the Supreme Court sentenced four Uyghurs to death for alleged involvement in an Aug. 19 bomb attack in Xinjiang’s western Aksu city.

 

The World Uyghur Congress pointed to concerns over lack of transparency in those cases too.

 

The Aksu blast left eight people dead, including two of the bombers, and 15 wounded after a man riding a three-wheeled vehicle threw explosives at a group of uniformed patrolmen. Four Uyghurs were arrested shortly after the attack.

 

State media characterized the cases as acts of terrorism and unrelated to longstanding ethnic tensions between Uyghurs and Han Chinese in the region.

 

Exiled Uyghur dissident Rebiya Kadeer has warned that attacks like those in Aksu will continue to occur until Beijing addresses the underlying source of tension in the region.

 

Millions of Uyghurs—a distinct, Turkic minority who are predominantly Muslim—populate Central Asia and Xinjiang.

 

Uyghurs say they have long suffered ethnic discrimination, oppressive religious controls, and continued poverty and joblessness despite China's ambitious plans to develop its vast northwestern frontier.

 

Those frustrations erupted in July 2009 in deadly riots that left nearly 200 people dead, by the Chinese government's tally.

 

At least 26 people, mostly Uyghurs, were sentenced to death in the aftermath of the riots, many of whom have been executed, according to state media.

 

China is believed to execute more people each year than the rest of the world’s countries combined, although the government does not publish official figures.

 

Rights groups say Beijing may execute as many as several thousand prisoners annually.

 

Chinese authorities blame Uyghur separatists for a series of deadly attacks in recent years and accuse one group in particular of maintaining ties to the al-Qaeda terrorist network.

 

New training scheme

 

China on Wednesday also announced a training scheme which places ethnic minority graduates from Xinjiang in work elsewhere in China.

 

Governments of the destination cities will spend 450 million yuan (U.S.$ 69 million) for the program, while Xinjiang will spend 400 million yuan (U.S.$ 61 million), the official Xinhua news agency reported.

 

The program targets some 60,000 jobless college graduates in Xinjiang, around 80 percent of whom are from ethnic minorities, and 60 percent of whom are women.

 

However, some commentators see the move as an attempt to assimilate non-Han Chinese into mainstream Chinese culture.

 

"From the point of view of ethnic minorities, the graduate work scheme is really taking the cream of youth from the minorities and using them to 'further cultural development,'" wrote one ethnic minority user on a popular microblogging service.

 

"In fact, the culture that is being advanced is Han culture, and this group of young people will have been totally brainwashed," the microblog update said.

 

An Urumqi resident surnamed Li agreed.

 

"They have run senior high school schemes like this before during the past few years," he said.

 

"Whether it's high-schoolers or graduate training programs, these are measures that are aimed at thought control and brainwashing, and the 'Partification' of their education," he said.

Wikileaks and the Uyghurs

through henry upon December Twenty, 2010
Henryk Szadziewski, Supervisor, Uyghur Human Rights Project

If it had been actually in doubt, info acquired by the whistleblower web site, Wikileaks, has confirmed Chinese language government worries over it's ongoing charge of the location this calls Xinjiang, also is known as East Turkestan. The leaked out wires through Ough.Utes. diplomats demonstrate the extent to which Chinese language government bodies attempt to persuade government authorities worldwide to adopt its position on problems affecting Uyghurs. The wires additionally show the U . s . States' concerns and sights concerning the ongoing repressive measures in the area.


uyghur by sarvaz

Most lighting associated with Chinese language government stress are the wires directed in order to Chinese language anger, or the specter of Chinese ire, over the discharge of Uyghur detainees in Guantánamo to third nations. The Dec 29, 08 cable television applies exactly how Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Jieyi fulfilled using the U.S. Ambassador in order to The far east to voice Beijing's strong opposition of release to any kind of nation apart from The far east, which if the Ough.S. do indeed accede for this request it would "avoid harm to bilateral relations and to cooperation ‘in important areas'". In addition, a February '09 cable television describes how the Chinese language Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded the feasible discharge of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees because "an unfriendly behave toward us" and a "slap in the face". That the U.Utes. government stood firm in not releasing the actual detainees to China demonstrates the actual extent of the politicized nature of the Chinese judicial system. Legitimate concerns over terrorism are easy to understand, but in the Ough.Utes. government's view the detainees might probably face torture and delivery when they returned in order to The far east

Chinese language government stress regarding the actual Uyghur Guantánamo detainees wasn't only applied to the actual U.Utes. government, but additionally in order to Brand new Zealand along with a number of European government authorities which were considering resettlement. Albania, Indonesia as well as Finland, in addition to European Union fellow member says all have the symptoms of borne the actual brunt of Chinese language government unhappiness.

The Uyghurs from East Turkistan

In the middle of the desert landscapes of Taklamakan, in the north-western part of China, the land of Xinjiang is a very least populated land while it covers close to a sixth from the country's area. Getting resisted while in centuries the Han Chinese domination, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, or Old Turkistan, fell into within the Chinese Han control in 1949. From then, its population is mostly Uyghur People and Turkic - speaking System.


Uyghur Man - Kashgar, China by 62Lofu


Muslim primarily, the Uyghur people have a strong religious identity which usually, in particular, permitted them to preserve a solid big difference in opposition to the Chinese invader. Certainly, the Uyghur Kingdom of Mongolia knew a great civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.


Uyghurs in Urumqi by ericennotamm


During their history, the Uyghur People successively adopted Shamanism, Manicheism, Buddhism and the Nestorianism before lastly moving to Islam when the Arab conquerors beat the Chinese in year 751 BC., thus beginning the way to the Islamization of the complete Central Asia.


Under the effect of the religions which they taken on, Uyghur People used successively, and sometimes in a competing way, a great number of written forms (turco-runic, brahmi, tokharien, soghdien) before developing their own unique graphic system.

The entrance of Islam was a great change simply because it was supported by the absorption of the Uyghur areas in the immense Turco-Mongolian and Islamic Empire. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan slowly replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used currently.


If their own writing, their own language and their religion mark a real big difference with the culture of Chinese Han, Uyghur People also are different from their aspect, so characteristic of Central Asia's people. A matt skin, eyes representing a whole pallet of colors, from black to deep blue, features directing out to the Mongolian, Turkish or Uzbek roots of these men and these women.

For a few years, China has included the proper identity of these remote people, although they represent only nine million people - a trifle for this kind of large region. Thus, Uyghur people are now part of the fifty six racial minority groups having been recognized in an official way by China.


This statute allows these people a few privileges in a country exactly where their big difference is very often repressed. Therefore, Uyghur families escape the "single child policy" and their language is known as the second official language in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.


The integration of the Uyghurs and their culture in the People's Republic of China, however, seems very illusory. The presence of all-natural sources in Xinjiang, and its area with countries well-known as sensitive, clearly urged the government to increase the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the larger responsibility job opportunities.


In reaction to this true will to assimilate the Uyghurs into the Chinese culture, an independent party like East Turkistan Islamic Movement(ETIM) was born in the early 1990.

Asserting more freedom, but primarily the acceptance of their true identity, this movement was seriously repressed by the power authorities in place Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The situations of September 11, 2001, were the perfect occasion for the Chinese government to justify true reprisals: they declared the "Uyghur freedom fighters" as dangerous terrorists linked to Al Quaida because of their Muslim origins and their proximity with Pakistan and Afghanistan... However, the terrible repression which followed did not calm down the anger. The Uyghur population continues today to proudly maintain their identification and their ethnic heritage , though they become a minority on their own land.

foreclosure list


It is distressing to watch/read the Beltway media struggling to avoid an honest description of what is happening in Washington as the Tea-GOP-ConservaDems lay siege to America’s future. This appearance by economist Jeffery Sachs [video of his trying to overcome the media's ingrained framing] illustrates the problem.


Never mind Congress’ total indifference to America’s real problems. In the real world, there is massive unemployment, record poverty and inequality, 50 million without health insurance, pointless wasteful wars, strangling states and cities, millions facing foreclosure, global climate threats, and a collapse of the rule of law, etc. As Matt Taibbi documents in his Why Isn’t Wall Street in Jail?, no elites have been held accountable for creating these catastrophes. Yet there isn’t a single initiative from the Tea-GOP Congress to deal with any of this. So why isn’t Congress’ and the Administration’s neglect of these real crises the lead story on every media every day?


It would be ludicrous if the media thought the Tunisian and Egyptian regimes just fell because of public concerns over the next fiscal year budget deficit. Every poll tells us our citizens, like the protesters there, regard that issue as far down the list, well behind the lack of jobs, education and an economically fair and secure future.


What we are witnessing in Congress and in states with radical Tea-GOP Governors is an unrelenting assault on all of the economic and intellectual foundations of our present and future. They’re waging war on us, effectively targeting the economic security and future of a majority of Americans. Oh, the rich will do just fine; the Obama Administration and Congress will take care of them as they did in December. You and your children and their future are the targets.


If this were a conventional war — think WWII — the enemy would be bombing our bridges and rail lines, blowing up government centers, attacking police and firemen stations, and letting our factories burn. They’d be undermining basic research, stealing technology, and targeting our schools hoping to cripple our intellectual ability to advance, feed ourselves, produce what we need and hold the nation together. They’d work to incapacitate and strangle state and local governments, to demoralize and crush the public’s confidence. They’d try to cripple the public health system and leave us defenseless against massive outbreaks of disease. They’d dismantle environmental protections designed to protect public health from toxic water, deadly emissions, and unsafe consumer products. And on and on.


Take a close look at that list. Which part of this coordinated attack on the nation’s economy and civilization’s foundations do you think is not happening? The nihilists have a defunding equivalent for every single one of these wartime tactics for defeating a nation. They’re being proposed today in your Congress and many State legislatures.


The effects will be the same. Instead of literally bombing existing rail lines and bridges, they’re denying the funds needed to keep dangerously deteriorating infrastructure from collapsing or to build new infrastructure for future growth. If you refuse to build needed new schools, or new water treatment plants, or new pollution control facilities, it’s just like building them but blowing them up later. States have been forced to fire over 400,000 public employees — teachers, administrators, firemen, police, sanitation and health workers, and if the current proposals force another million into unemployment, the national leadership’s reaction is “so be it.”


We hear public service announcements everywhere these days. “If you see something, say something.” If you observe suspicious activity that could endanger the public, report it. Okay. So, if they’re effectively destroying our bridges, our rail service, our police and fire stations, our schools and public health facilities, how should we respond? If we see this happening, should we report it? Should we surround the capital and not let them in? Should we make a citizen’s arrest and turn these thugs over to the authorities? How about this and this (h/t Adam 503 from comments)?


And who are the responsible authorities? We don’t seem to have a Justice Department, and the nihilists would defund even the modest enforcement efforts of regulatory agencies. Our President is a modern-day Chamberlain; if only he can reach a “grand bargain” with the nihilists, cut social security some, let only a few more old people freeze in the dark, and give up on raising taxes, they’ll settle for Poland; they’ll give us budget peace in our time, beyond the current continuing resolution, and let the debt limit rise. Right.


All of this destructive activity is happening right before our eyes, while the media pretends this is only a political argument, with lists of competing economists, about how quickly the nation’s debt should be reduced. Gibberish.


When the President and Congress hand the richest people in America $120 billion now and make it more likely for trillions later, there is no serious debate about debt. This is not about debt; it’s about a redistribution of wealth, security and influence, from the poor and middle class upwards to the wealthiest.


As for the long-run deficit/debt issue: our media can’t seem to remember that every reputable study has shown the problem is caused not because seniors get too much care but because health care costs are too high and rising too fast — we pay providers too much, up to twice as much as other nations, to provide less than universal care. Solve that and the long-run deficit problem disappears; ignore it, and rising health costs endanger the whole economy, not just the federal budget.


Decades ago, when we understood we were at war, the ratio of government debt to the economy was vastly larger than it is today. We used deficit spending to win the war and save the economy. Yet we defeated the world’s most evil regimes and emerged as the strongest nation in the world. Despite that debt, or actually because of the foundations it set, we embarked on one of the greatest, most broadly shared expansions of human prosperity in history. Today’s nihilist coalition doesn’t want you to know that.





American Banker has posted the 27 page draft servicer settlement agreement that the state attorneys general sent to the servicers last week.



Settlement Terms (27 page PDF)



And from Cheyenne Hopkins at American Banker: Cheat Sheet: How the State AGs Want to Revamp Mortgage Servicing

The 27-page term sheet handed to the five largest mortgage servicers last week is a detailed, dense list of requirements that, if implemented as proposed, would fundamentally change the relationship between servicers, investors and borrowers.



The term sheet, obtained by American Banker and available here, is just the opening bid in an ongoing negotiating process between the servicers and various state and federal agencies attempting to punish them for significant issues uncovered in the foreclosure process. While some of the details of the term sheet have been made public already, the sheer breadth and depth of the proposed requirements were not clear until now.
The article has a nice summary of the document.
