• 'Arizona Accord' Aims to Change State's Illegal Immigration Enforcement Image

A major effort is underway to get businesses, faith-based organizations and other groups to rally behind a more humane set of principles to guide how Arizona deals with illegal immigration, the complex and emotionally-draining subject that has consumed much of the state's energy in the past few years. Called the "Arizona Accord," the idea borrows from the Utah Compact, which, in addition to advocating for a more humane approach, puts the onus of resolving the immigration issue on the federal government. The set of principles, which was prominently backed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is widely credited to have steered the debate in Utah and helped to soften a SB1070-like measure there.

• Fdic Objects to Bofa $8.5 Billion Mortgage Accord

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and more than three dozen other investors lodged objections on Monday [Aug. 29] to Bank of America Corp.'s $8.5 billion settlement of claims over losses on mortgage-backed securities, joining a growing list of investors and regulators that are challenging the accord. In its filing with the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the FDIC said it is "the receiver of numerous banks and owner of many certificates" issued by many of the 530 mortgage pools of the former Countrywide Financial Corp. that the settlement covers.

• U.S. Judge Skeptical of Citigroup-Sec Accord

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge expressed deep skepticism about a proposed $285 million civil settlement between the top U.S. market regulator and Citigroup Inc. over charges that the bank defrauded investors. A written order by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff was the latest to put U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission settlements with major banks under scrutiny. Two years ago, Mr. Rakoff himself rejected an SEC accord with Bank of America Corp., later approving revisions only grudgingly, and Thursday's [Oct. 27] order suggests another showdown with the regulator may be in the offing.

• Better Accord

AFTER five years of highway purgatory, Honda drivers can now come out of their shell and embrace the latest Accord. The seventh- generation Accord, which they had to endure from 2003 to 2007, had plenty of good features but a pronounced ugly rear, which had blighted all that was good about the marque. Never mind, Honda buyers are known to be a loyal lot and any lost ardour is set to be reclaimed with the launch of its successor, the eighth-generation Accord back in the middle of March. This eighth-generation Accord promises that it's not only more powerful; but also more fuel-efficient and environmental-friendly.
