While precise numbers don't exist, anecdote suggests that not too many loans have been restructured under the original plan thus far. That, though, could largely be due to the complexity of implementing a new process - it takes time to change computer systems and train employees. CitiMortgage, the home-lending arm of Citigroup, officially began offering government-backed modifications only on April...
...swine flu cases were also confirmed in Canada, Scotland, Spain and the U.S., where the number of confirmed cases more than doubled to 43 - 28 of them students at the same New York City high school.

They talk to him about their theses or the science-fiction book he is authoring. Malik is considerably connected to our House and our students. Thus, we advocate that the HUPD form closer relationships with individuals like Malik, in addition to other stakeholders in the Houses, such as the masters, diversity tutors, and House Committees. A one-sided relationship is impossible, and community members must make reciprocal efforts to build relationships by engaging HUPD officers in conversations...
