Making Money Cash

Another day, another honking big funding for another online start-up (and yet another broken embargo too!).

It’s like Groundhog Day in Silicon Valley as usual.

Today, Cambridge, Mass.-based HubSpot wins tech’s version of the lottery, grabbing $32 million from Sequoia Capital, Google Ventures and also Salesforce.com.

It is unclear what the valuation for HubSpot is now, although it is likely high given it has raised $65 million now.

HubSpot makes marketing software for businesses, who use it to find prospects and generate leads, along with tools to analyze the process. It claims it has “4,000 customers, over 50 percent market share, five million leads managed, and 70 million page views tracked monthly.”

The Series D financing included HubSpot’s existing venture investors–General Catalyst Partners, Matrix Partners, and Scale Venture Partners–and part of it will be used to cash out existing shareholders. In previous rounds, the start-up has raised $33 million.

Here is the official press release:

Sequoia, Google Ventures, and Salesforce.com Invest $32 Million in HubSpot

Marketing Software Company Attracts New Strategic Investors

CAMBRIDGE, MA–(Marketwire – March 8, 2011)–Today, for the first time ever, Sequoia Capital, Google Ventures and Salesforce.com all invested together in one company, providing HubSpot with a Series D round of financing through a $32 million investment. HubSpot provides all-in-one marketing software used by over 4,000 businesses to get found by more prospects, convert them into leads and sales, and analyze the entire marketing process.

“The fundamental way that people shop, learn, and buy has changed radically in the last few years. HubSpot helps transform the way businesses market from outbound marketing (cold calls, email blasts, and direct mail) to inbound marketing (Google, blogs, social media, mobile, etc.),” said Brian Halligan, co-founder and CEO of HubSpot.

Sequoia Capital has a long history of partnering with founders to help them build long-term, multi-billion dollar companies, including Google, LinkedIn, AdMob, YouTube, Yahoo!, Apple, and Oracle. “We back companies that are transforming their industries,” said Jim Goetz, General Partner at Sequoia Capital. “HubSpot is the emerging category leader in the SaaS marketing sector. Their customer base exceeds that of all the other relevant marketing software companies combined, including Eloqua, Marketo, Genius, and Manticore.”

“Today, every company needs to succeed in search, social, sales, and marketing–I can’t think of a more powerful trifecta than Google, Salesforce.com, and HubSpot. With 4,000 customers, HubSpot is already a clear marketing leader–now, with this new infusion of capital and recognition by Google’s venture arm and Salesforce.com, HubSpot has a great opportunity to separate itself from the pack and become the leading marketing platform in the small and medium business space,” said Brent Leary, co-founder of CRM Essentials.

Google Ventures Partner, Rich Miner (formerly co-founder of Android) said, “We agree with HubSpot’s belief that search engines, social media, and mobile devices have fundamentally changed how businesses should market themselves. We’re thrilled to support their efforts to help thousands of small and medium businesses reach potential customers.”

Dharmesh Shah, co-founder and CTO of HubSpot commented, “We founded the company based on a simple premise: Businesses want an easy-to-use, complete and integrated marketing platform that helps them get more leads and customers. We plan to use this new capital to further invest in this ambitious vision and further our existing lead in the marketing software category.”

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.

I read an interesting article this morning that suggested Apple would change its mind and put Adobe’s Flash technology on its iOS devices within a year. I don’t think that’s going to happen.

In an open letter to users, Apple CEO Steve Jobs gave several reasons why he didn’t want Flash on the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. They are: Flash isn’t open; the full web; reliability, security and performance; battery life; and touch.

Adobe began shipping Flash Player 10.1 for Mobile last June, but even Laptop magazine admitted that “Steve Jobs was right,” and that “Adobe’s offering seems like it’s too little, too late.” Granted, that report was from six months ago, but it still doesn’t bode well for the technology.

There is no doubt that Adobe is making advances with Flash on mobile devices, but I don’t believe future changes will be enough to get Apple to adopt the technology.

Jobs has been very clear that Apple supports HTML5, an open technology that is controlled by a standards committee, not one company. By building support for that technology into Webkit, Apple is ensuring that mobile Web browsers will be able to access what we’ve come to know as the “full web.”

Webkit is used by Google, Palm, Nokia and RIM, so it has a pretty solid base.

One of the arguments often bantered about when the discussion of the “full Web” comes up is video. There is no doubt that Flash made huge strides over the years in having sites like YouTube encode their videos in Flash. But that’s for the desktop.

As Jobs points out, almost all of this video is also available in H.264 format (a format Flash also supports), so it’s viewable on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

“Add to this video from Vimeo, Netflix, Facebook, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ESPN, NPR, Time, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, People, National Geographic, and many, many others. iPhone, iPod and iPad users aren’t missing much video,” wrote Jobs.

You may ask why other companies adopted Flash for their mobile devices when Apple won’t. That’s easy, they are looking for something they have that Apple doesn’t. Considering how hard it is for tablet makers to compete with Apple, any perceived advantage will work.

I’m not an Adobe hater—I know quite a few people that work at Adobe and I think they’ve done some amazing things over the years. Flash for mobile devices isn’t one of them.

Chris Dawson said he gives “Apple a year until they cave [and adopt Flash]. Android tablets will just be too cool and too useful for both entertainment and enterprise applications if they don’t.”

I have been using my iPhone for years and my iPad for one year. I honestly can’t remember the last time I went to a Web site that wouldn’t load because I didn’t have Flash installed. I can load videos from YouTube and a host of other sites too, no problem.

Apple has sold more than 160 million iOS devices and there are no screaming, angry hordes of users breaking down the doors at 1 Infinite Loop demanding Flash on their devices.

In order for Apple to change its mind and adopt Flash, the technology has to be proven to be indispensable and that it will benefit its users. Apple has proven just the opposite is true.

What to Expect Whenever Hiring a Roofer

When the time comes to repair or even replace your roof, it's really a challenging task to find someone who is actually qualified for the job. There are lots of roofing contractors out there, but the types who will perform a congrats for any reasonable price are not frequently easy to find. If you are in the marketplace for a contractor, use the tips beneath with regard to interviewing as well as hiring the correct one.

Interview and Consultation

Most roofers offer free consultation services. This is especially essential, because it provides them a chance to evaluate exactly what your homes roof requirements, also it gives you a chance to assess all of them. As with all of companies, trust your intuition concerning the individuals a person let upward on your roof. No matter how great the contractor's reputation or recommendation, he or she ought to start by presenting a person with a company greeting card. If the contractor arrives looking as well as speaking within an less than professional method, chances are that the task he is going to perform will also be less than professional. This isn't to say that you should expect contractors to reach within fits. They is going to be hiking on your roofing, so most will be dressed up in denim jeans and function footwear or athletic shoes. If the actual service provider seems to be more interested in speaking on his mobile phone while on your roof than he's in analyzing your roof's needs, which may be another indication that he's not the one for the job. For your legal safety, be certain that the service provider has adequate legal responsibility insurance.

Roof Evaluation

Anticipate the contractor will be rising in your roofing. In fact, any kind of contractor who does not need to go up in your roofing to judge the problem ought to be instantly discounted. Those who are seriously interested in their own work will possibly create a sketching of the roof's surface as well as mark problem areas onto it because they go through their own evaluation, or even they'll take pictures or even video clip of the surface area while they're up there. This is an extremely essential action, because it enables you to see exactly what the problems are and understand how they'll be set.

Estimation

The next phase would be the created estimate. The contractor will require away his calculator and come up with an itemized estimation. Some companies will go out to their truck or truck and write up the proposal, while others may crunch the numbers for the job in front of you. Once you're given the suggestion, ensure that you understand exactly which items is going to be utilized, just how long the task will take and when there are any extra or hidden costs that may arise during the repair from the roof. The contractor should be able to solution many of these concerns with ease and forewarn a person of any additional costs that might be incurred if the roof's integrity be damaged within.

After you have obtained several written estimates from roofers, evaluate what every organization or even service provider would like to provide for that cost. Do not always discount the greatest bet, simply because occasionally the highest bid will actually be the service provider who the task properly. Additionally, be skeptical of bids that are not nearly as expensive other people. They may be utilizing inferior items or perhaps be untruthful about the chance of hidden costs. Above all, trust your instincts as well as go with the actual service provider that makes you feel quite comfortable regarding giving over your hard earned 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 also the Uyghur

through henry on December Twenty, This year
Henryk Szadziewski, Supervisor, Uyghur Human Rights Project

If it were ever uncertain, information acquired through the whistleblower website, Wikileaks, has verified Chinese language government fears over it's ongoing control of the location it calls Xinjiang, which is also referred to as East Turkestan. The actual leaked out wires through U.Utes. diplomats demonstrate the degree to which Chinese government bodies make an effort to persuade government authorities globally to consider its stance on problems affecting Uyghurs. The actual wires also display the U . s . States' issues and sights concerning the on going repressive steps in the region.

Most illuminating of Chinese federal government pressure are the cables directed to Chinese anger, or the specter associated with Chinese language ire, within the release of Uyghur detainees in Guantánamo to third nations. A Dec Twenty nine, 2008 cable television relates how Chinese language Helper Foreign Reverend Liu Jieyi fulfilled with the Ough.S. Ambassador to China in order to tone of voice Beijing's powerful opposition associated with launch in order to any country other than China, which when the Ough.Utes. did indeed accede to this request it might "avoid harm to bilateral relations and to cooperation ‘in important areas'". In addition, the February '09 cable describes the way the Chinese Ambassador in order to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded the actual possible discharge of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees as "an unfriendly behave towards us" along with a "slap within the face". That the U.Utes. government stood company in not really releasing the actual detainees in order to The far east demonstrates the extent of the politicized nature from the Chinese language judicial program. Genuine concerns more than terrorism tend to be easy to understand, however in the actual U.Utes. government's view the detainees would probably encounter torture as well as execution if they returned to China

Chinese government pressure regarding the Uyghur Guantánamo detainees was not only applied to the U.Utes. government, but additionally to Brand new Zealand along with a handful of Western governments which were thinking about resettlement. Albania, Indonesia and Finland, in addition to European Union fellow member states just about all appear to have paid for the brunt associated with Chinese government unhappiness. Regarding Indonesia, which was initially willing to consider 2 Uyghurs upon solely humanitarian reasons, Uyghur Guantánamo cases were much less better than other detainees due to the unwanted effects accepting Uyghurs would have on relations with The far east. The Might 8, '09 cable television relates exactly how "German Ambassador Michael Schaefer documented that Germany had informed The far east from the U.Utes. request to simply accept some Uighur detainees kept from Guantánamo and had been subsequently cautioned by The far east of ‘a heavy load upon bilateral relations' in the event that Indonesia had been to accept any kind of detainees".

The diplomatic wires additionally talk about the actual unrest in Urumchi, the actual regional funds, within July 2009. A This summer 13, '09 cable television talking about bulk incidents in The far east states:

"Ethnic riots such as those who work in Xinjiang This summer 5-7 as well as in Tibet within 03 of 08 differ markedly in source and character from mass incidents, XXXXXXXXXXXX emphasized to PolOff [Political Officer] upon XXXXXXXXXXXX. Each present severe trouble for the Celebration, XXXXXXXXXXXX said, but the Party management would not wait to spread out fire upon Uighurs or Tibetans when they considered this essential to restore purchase. Bulk incidents pose a different kind of threat, he said, as the management is ‘afraid' to fire on Han rioters for anxiety about causing massive open public outrage that would change from the Party."

This is a relaxing viewpoint, particularly when 1 considers evidence offered by 50 percent reports launched this year by the Uyghur Individual Privileges Task (UHRP) and Amnesty International which fine detail eyewitness company accounts of the utilization of lethal live fireplace against Uyghur protestors in This summer '09. Additionally, the actual declaration which fireplace wouldn't be used against Han Chinese language protestors offers resonances for the various approach taken by Chinese language protection causes in Urumchi in order to Han Chinese protests in September '09. Throughout those direct orders, after that Celebration Assistant, Wang Lequan, addressed demonstrators, who experienced required that he let them know regarding federal government responses in order to protection concerns. An identical ask for to satisfy using the Party Secretary by Uyghur protesters within This summer wasn't fulfilled.

The broader consequences from the unrest additionally noticed a brief dialogue about the impact it might possess on Iran-China relationships, and on relations with Australia following World Uyghur Congress Leader, Ms. Rebiya Kadeer, spoke at the Nationwide Press Club within Canberra in August '09. Within the latter situation, the Chinese federal government "privately warn[ed] a major Aussie financial institution which vendors the nation's Press Membership to make use of its impact to block the Kadeer talk there".

The U . s . States' issues about the situation within the Uyghur region also come through within the wires. Inside a discussion on plan direction within Tibet, Ough.Utes. authorities explain that it'll be impossible with regard to Chinese language frontrunners to consider the much softer line "if they appear like they are doing so below international pressure". The cable television out dated April Sixteen, 2008, one month following the episode associated with unrest in Tibetan areas, also relayed the declaration "that household balance continues to be leadership's top priority above all else, meaning there will ‘almost surely' be absolutely no rest from the present hard line on Tibet or in locations such as Xinjiang."

This can be a significant alternation in thinking, which has seen U.S. authorities market the notion which Chinese financial development, as well as financial relationships with The far east brings about a steadily democratic culture; however, more faith seems to be put into a grassroots motion than one that starts from the best quantity of a Chinese language federal government. Nonetheless, the cable concludes that "[i]n areas such as Tibet as well as Xinjiang, the fear of separatism leads to tighter limitations about the growth of municipal society." This approach can be regarded as counter-productive through the official, that suggests that the actual U.Utes. federal government "should still express...serious concerns over Beijing's individual rights record as well as appeal to China's developing consciousness that greater regard for individual rights, religious freedom and the guideline associated with law will serve to advertise the very development and sociable balance which China seeks in addition to to enhance China's international image." Such a strategy would consider considerable diplomatic abilities considering "China's paranoid concern the Usa privately promotes routine alter as well as ‘separatists' in Taiwan, Tibet as well as Xinjiang".

The actual cables offer insight into the daily company associated with diplomacy that's rarely afforded to the general public, and it is interesting to note the quantity of function carried out behind closed doors upon Uyghur issues. The significance of the part of the us like a monitor of Uyghur human rights conditions in personal discussions is made clear, as well as contrasts using its sensible public stance. The staff from the Uyghur Human Privileges Task is actually well aware of pressure china government puts upon Uyghur activists; nevertheless, the details of Chinese language federal government pressure on it's alternatives is illustrative from the diploma which Chinese authorities make an effort to suppress contradictory stories. With increased facts in the future from Wikileaks, issues over Uyghurs might not grab the actual headlines, but the wires have shed new gentle about the paperwork associated with human privileges conditions within the Uyghur region.

Such a technique might consider considerable diplomatic abilities considering "China's weird fear the Usa privately promotes regime alter and ‘separatists' in Taiwan, Tibet as well as Xinjiang".

Little about the Uyghur People

In the center of the desert landscapes of Taklamakan, in the north-western part of China, the province of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region is the least populated province whereas it covers near to a sixth with the nation's territory. Getting resisted during centuries the chinese domination, Xinjiang, or Old East Turkestan, fell into within the Chinese Han control in 1949. From then, its population is mainly Uyghur People and Turkish - speaking System.

Muslim most importantly, the Uyghurs have a very good religious identity that, in particular, enabled them to keep a strong difference in opposition to the Chinese enemy. In fact, the Uyghur Kingdom of Mongolia knew a excellent civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.

While in their historical past, the Uyghur People successively taken on Shamanism, Manicheism, Buddhism and the Nestorianism before finally moving to Islam when the Arab conquerors beat the Chinese in year 751 BC., therefore opening the way to the Islamization of the complete Central Asia.

Under the effect of the beliefs which they adopted, 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 coming of Islam was a great modification because it was followed by the absorption of the Uyghur land in the immense Turco-Mongolian and Islamic Kingdom. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan slowly replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used presently.

If their writing, their language and their religion mark a real big difference with the tradition of Chinese Han, Uyghur People also are different from their characteristic, so characteristic of Central Asia's people. A shiny 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 9 million people - a little for this specific great country. So, the Uyghurs are now part of the 56 racial minority groups having been recognized in an official way by China.

This law will allow them a few privileges in a country exactly where their difference is very often repressed. Thus, Uyghur families escape the "single child policy" and their language is accepted as the second official language in Xinjiang.

The integration of the Uyghur people and their culture in the People's Republic of China, however, looks very illusory. The presence of all natural sources in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and its proximity with countries recognized as sensitive, highly urged the government to speed up the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the more significant responsibility jobs.

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.

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

The events 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 peoples population continues today to proudly continue to keep their identity and their tradition , despite the fact that they become a minority on their own territory.

To get more detailed information and facts about Uyghur people, you can visit a Uyghur website called Uyghur News at http://www.uyghurnews.com

Making Money Scam

American leadership is reliable in one respect: it consistently undershoots my already low expectations.

Or maybe I have it backwards because I keep forgetting who the authorities are really serving, and it clearly isn’t you and me. As we will discuss below, the latest scam is that the banking regulators are finalizing a mortgage “breakdown” settlement, and they’ve evidently decided to let the industry off the hook for a mere $20 billion.

In Saudi Arabia, the royal family has just offered $36 billion worth of concessions in an effort to placate an increasingly unruly public (this appears to be in addition to pledges to spend $400 billion on education, health care, and infrastructure by 2014). This is in a country with a population just under 26 million, including over 5 million non-nationals who presumably aren’t eligible.

Now you can easily pooh pooh this comparison, since Saudi Arabia is an autocratic country desperately throwing around money to buy off dissidents, right? But this is the kind of money a leadership group will shell out when pressed to defend an existing order. And the US was very quick to hand out funds right, left, and center during the financial crisis. It’s continuing to do so now in less obvious ways, by continued life support for the mortgage market through Fannie and Freddie, the Fed’s super low interest rates and QE2, and non-monetary measures, most important its refusal to make any sort of serious investigation into what happened in the crisis and prosecute key actors.

Most observers, yours truly included, had expected very little from the multi-regulator “foreclosure task force” announced last year. It was clearly designed to be an even more cosmetic exercise than the stress test charade, which does take a certain amount of brazenness (or more likely, confidence in the public’s inability to follow the three card monte). But a bad situation devolved; the Treasury had appeared to be in charge, and that department at least tries to put a minimum level of professional spit and polish into its charades. When OCC acting chair and chief bank enabler John Walsh got up to speak in an official capacity about the process in last week’s Senate Banking Committee hearings, it was evident there was not even going to be an effort to pretend that this was a serious undertaking.

Even so, the mortgage “settlement” trial balloon floated in the Wall Street Journal this evening is an offense to common sense and decency. Notice how the word “fraud” is pretty much verboten in the MSM; the latest code word for what went awry is “breakdown”. This implies a benign sort of neglect, simply of not doing sufficient maintenance which led fussy machinery to quit working. It is mean to avoid contemplating, let along uncovering, Pinto-type decisions of weighing the costs of making the vehicle safer versus the litigation losses resulting from incineration by exploding gas tanks.

The magic number across the industry is a mere $20 billion in civil fines or payments to fund loan mods. We know from BP not to have a great deal of confidence in settlement funds. It is not yet clear what scope of activities get a free pass (fraudulent servicer charges and impermissible compounding fees? failure to convey notes to mortgage trusts as stipulated in the PSA? foreclosing on home where HAMP mods had been promised?) but the industry will want any waiver to be as broad as possible. But in any kind of settlement of fraud, like securities fraud charges, various responsible parties are also barred from working in the industry, sometimes for life. None of that is on the table.

The plan involves having servicers give borrowers principal mods, but obviously only to the extent of the fund amount. The WSJ story announces that mortgage investors will suffer no losses. This shows how backwards the logic here is. Investors would LOVE principal mods to qualified borrowers; it’s far better than taking 70%+ losses on foreclosures. So saving RMBS investors any pain should never have been a feature of the plan design. And that means it is really a fig leaf for avoiding writedowns on second liens, which are heavily concentrated in the four biggest TBTF banks.

The officialdom is taking the stance that only a small number of borrowers suffered wrongful foreclosures. The HAMP fiasco alone makes that patently untrue. And the regulators’ failure to compare servicer records with borrower records (the short time frame of the task force effort guarantees that did not take place) makes this a garbage in, garbage out exercise. And that’s before you get to the question of fraudulent servicer charges, which foreclosure defense lawyers say represent 50% to 70% of the cases they handle (it’s easier to win based on standing so court records do not reflect the borrower reason for choosing to fight the foreclosure). Without an audit of servicer software, this regulatory assessment was a simple “see no evil” exercise.

Nor do I see any mention of imposing new servicing standards on banks, another massive oversight.

The servicers, as well as Fannie and Freddie, would be required to provide principal mods. But given the meager settlement amount, this is a complete and utter joke. The mods will be too shallow and too few in number to help either borrowers or the housing market. Both J.C. Flowers and Wilbur Ross, both very tough minded investors, have found deep principal mods work, and research supports their views. Why are borrowers going to struggle to make home payments when they still face a loss and/or a big tax bill when they try to sell the home?

If you assume a combined first and second mortgage balance of $200,000 and a mod of 10%, or $20,000, which is too low to make much difference to borrowers and well short of what investors would accept (given 70%+ expected losses on a foreclosure, 25% to even 50% is a no brainer), you get 1,000,000 mods. That sounds peachy until you realize that nearly 30% of the homes in the US, a total of 15.7 million, are underwater and prices are projected to fall further this year. And most are underwater by more than 10%. So even if this works as advertised, who gets help is likely to be capricious and the amount of help will be insufficient.

And as Marcy Wheeler correctly points out, this program is really HAMP 2.0. When a small group of bloggers visited the Treasury last August, HAMP was such an obvious failure that the staff didn’t even try hard to defend it. One of the excuses offered by Geither was that Treasury lacked authority over servicers (a point I disputed, since Treasury has plenty of leverage at its disposal). So there isn’t even any reason to believe the banks (ex perhaps the Fannie and Freddie loans) will live up to their commitment do a paltry number of mods. As Marcy noted:

…basically, it sounds like HAMP II–a “plan” that still lets banks decide how to implement that “plan”–with the sole improvement on HAMP I that it requires 2nd Liens to be “reduced” (but not eliminated) in the process of modifying the first liens.

The deal wouldn’t create any new government programs to reduce principal. Instead, it would allow banks to devise their own modifications or use existing government programs, people familiar with the matter said. Banks would also have to reduce second-lien mortgages when first mortgages are modified.

The good new is it does not sound like there is a deal agreed. The powers that be have yet to corral the state AGs (since when were they going to be part of this scheme?) and the servicers themselves.

So readers can help create heat on the officialdom. It would be very useful to come up with estimates of various types of damages (and it needs to be bottoms up, not “the global financial crisis cost X trillion and at least 25% is the fault of these clowns). First would be a list of types of damage done, and it should be mutually exclusive, and ideally collectively exhaustive. Next are any factoids that would help dimension the level of overall damage per category. For instance, some readers yesterday started using the Massachusetts lost recording fee estimate to try to ballpark the recording fees lost to MERS on a national basis.

Having the level of damages (which would certainly wipe out the banks, but we want everyone reminded of that fact, that any “settlement” is yet another gimmie) then serves as a basis for talking about monetary settlements and other required behavioral changes. The adverse reaction to the Center for American Progress’ Fannie and Freddie “reform” trial ballon apparently did put the powers that be on the back foot; reader information gathering and ideas here would be of great value in putting forward an even more forceful rebuttal to this disgraceful proposal.

There are two major economies today in the world which are growing at a fast rate — India & China. In fact, both are being watched closely, and analysts predict that they will be the future economic super powers. There are varying reports as to who is outpacing the other.

Sadly though, there has been a negative side of this development as well: corruption and scandals are increasing alarmingly. And the magnitude of loot involved, as well as the large number of cases which are surfacing, makes one wonder what cost will society have to bear if unbridled corruption wreaks disaster on the development phenomenon. For, though scandals have been exposed and investigations are ordered, there has never been a single case of public money having been recovered. It is you and I who have to make good this loss to state exchequer by paying additional taxes.

In the eighties, there was the Bofors scandal. Rhetoric & politics aside, nothing tangible has happened to this date. Then there were stock market scandals, fodder scam and several others. But, what is being witnessed in the last few months in India is unprecedented. First, there was this Commonwealth Games scam (Rs. 15000 million or US $326 million), {Rs. 1300 Crore deficit for Commonwealth Games, taxpayers will Pay} followed by the biggest ever 2G Spectrum Scam [] {What is 2G Spectrum?} (Rs. 1700000 million or US $ 38260 million). The list of recent spate of scams is long.

The deadliest cancer society is afflicted with today is corruption. If you it look up on Wikipedia, it describes the adjective form corrupt as ‘utterly broken’. That precisely describes the state of society as a result of this rotten practice by human beings the world over.

The disregard for spiritual or moral conduct for material pursuits leads to a depraved mental state in which the individual chases illicit wealth or other objects of desire.

This is an attempt to reflect on the many dimensions of this pervasive hydra-headed monster. At the extreme inner core of this evil practice is the perverse desire of the individual for self-gratification borne out of extreme greed. The frustrating thought that it has not been controlled, let alone eradicated, even though it is projected to be unlawful and damaging to society, makes me sick.
