Seth Silber is a partner in the firm's Washington, D.C., office, where he focuses on antitrust counseling and litigation, and privacy and data security issues. His antitrust practice focuses primarily on advising clients in the pharmaceutical and healthcare markets, including issues concerning pharmaceutical patent settlements, mergers and acquisitions, and anticompetitive conduct. He regularly represents clients before both the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice.
Seth joined Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati in September 2006 after serving for six years at the Federal Trade Commission. During his tenure at the FTC, Seth obtained unique experience and insights into the commission's antitrust activities and enforcement practices, having served at all levels of the commission.
From 2004 to 2006, he served as an advisor to former Chairman Jon Leibowitz, advising him on enforcement issues relating to both anticompetitive conduct and mergers affecting various industries, including healthcare, medical devices, media, and oil and gas. Seth also served in the Bureau of Competition's front office as an Assistant to the Bureau Director. In that position, he reviewed recommendations from the bureau staff on both merger and non-merger matters, with a particular emphasis on pharmaceutical matters.
During his first three years at the FTC, Seth was a staff attorney in the bureau's Health Care Division. He was a lead attorney in FTC v. Schering-Plough and was involved in many of the commission's investigations involving pharmaceutical patent settlements and Orange Book listings. While in the Health Care Division, he also conducted several merger investigations and served as the division's liaison to the Food and Drug Administration.
In his current practice at WSGR, he regularly counsels clients regarding the antitrust risks posed by pharmaceutical patent settlements and has represented clients in FTC investigations of such settlements. He is also lead counsel for Mylan Pharmaceuticals in Mylan v. Warner Chilcott—a "product hopping" case currently pending in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Since joining the firm, Seth has expanded his practice to include advising clients on privacy, data security, and consumer protection issues, with a focus on healthcare and high-technology industries. He has represented several clients before the FTC in matters relating to privacy concerns and advises clients regarding the adequacy of their data security practices.
Seth is also active in the American Bar Association's Antitrust Section, serving from 2007-2012 as the chair of the Health Care and Pharmaceuticals Committee. He was appointed in 2012 to serve on the Section's governing council and is the lead editor of the first-ever treatise on pharmaceutical antitrust—the Pharmaceutical Industry Antitrust Handbook, published by the ABA in 2009.
Prior to joining the FTC, Seth was in private practice at Paul Hastings in Washington, D.C. He also is part-owner/treasurer of the Potomac Nationals, the Class-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals. Additionally, Seth currently serves as the Board Chair for One World Education, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit.EDUCATION:

Pakistan: Apathy's backdrop
Published 10:00 pm, Sunday, February 10, 2008
If anyone wonders what corruption and chaos can do to a democracy, they need look no further than Pakistan. Last week, Scotland Yard issued a report on its investigation into the assassination of former opposition leader Benazir Bhutto. Contrary to claims that Bhutto died of gunshots to the head or neck, the report claims she died of a head injury caused by a bomb blast. But the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper says that the report comes to such a conclusion "despite the lack of a detailed search of the crime scene or autopsy of Bhutto's body."
After all the violence that followed Bhutto's murder, it's no surprise that turnout for upcoming Feb. 18 parliamentary elections is expected to be low. The Associated Press reports, "A wave of Islamic militant attacks ... is casting a long shadow over Pakistan's parliamentary elections," and "the ballot is being held against a backdrop of fear and apathy." Now consider Pakistan's role in our war in Afghanistan, as not only an ally (in theory) but as a hotbed for violent radicals. If Pakistan collapses, Afghanistan, already on the verge of being a failed state, might be doomed.

CofC falls short at USC on Tuesday
(CofC SID)-
COLUMBIA, S.C. - No. 14 South Carolina hit three home runs and tallied 14 hits in a 10-6 win over College of Charleston on Tuesday night at Carolina Stadium.
The Gamecocks (28-10) won the season series with Charleston (20-16), who has now lost the last four mid-week games to talented competition.
CofC's pitching staff was short-handed in the mid-week effort, as the Cougars threw six different pitchers, including weekend starters Matt Pegler and Ryan West. Freshman Player Loving (1-2) picked up the loss as he made his first career start, lasting into the second inning but allowing five runs on five hits.
South Carolina starter Forrest Koumas only lasted 2.1 IP and gave up four CofC runs. Reliever Vince Fiori (1-0) picked up the win with his own two-and-a-third innings, allowing one run and striking out two.
Sophomore Gunnar Heidt led the CofC offense with a three-hit performance, scoring two runs and tallying an RBI. Brandon Murray notched two RBIs, including a double, while freshman Carl Wise continued his hitting streak with a two-hit game, driving home a run and scoring a run. Sophomore Devon Reed set a new season high with two runs scored.
South Carolina's Graham Saiko, Connor Bright and Joey Pankake all hit home runs for the Gamecocks. Saiko finished with four hits, while Bright tallied three RBIs in the game. Pankake also notched three RBI to go with his three hits.
The Gamecocks jumped on Loving in the second inning with four runs on three hits. Bright hit a two-run homer to left field, and Tanner English and Saiko followed with two singles. With the bases loaded, Pankake and LB Dantzler hit RBI sacrifice flies to push South Carolina's lead to 5-0.
Charleston rallied back in the top of the third inning with four big hits to score four runs. After a hit by pitch from Reed and single from Wise, Heidt launched a single to left to score CofC's first run. Murray followed with an RBI double, and Ben Boykin hit a sacrifice fly to the outfield to score another run. With two outs, pinch-hitter Cody Martin kept the rally going with a big double to right center, scoring Murray and cutting the lead to 5-4.
The back-and-forth continued in the bottom half of the inning when South Carolina's Bright knocked an RBI double and Saiko hit a two-out single over the outstretched glove of Blake Butler to score another run, pushing the lead back to 7-4.
Charleston scored an unearned run in the fourth inning with an RBI groundout from Wise, but the Cougars offense became stagnant from there.
South Carolina added three big insurance runs late in the game, with a two-run homer from Pankake in the sixth inning and a solo shot from Saiko in the eighth.
Heidt hit a two-out double in the ninth inning and Murray singled him in to put the final score at 10-6.
College of Charleston will host Furman this weekend in yet another important SoCon series with the Cougars currently just a half-game out of first place in the league standings.

We had such a good time last year we are back again for a February cruise. We booked many months ago and secured the late seating for four. My parents recently decided to join us and booked more recently. They were told they could only have open seating. Do you think I can get this fixed when we get on the ship? It sure would be nice to eat together.Thanks for your help
Call the person that booked your cruise and have them ask if your parents can be "Waitlisted" for the same time as your dining. Also, make sure that all your bookings are cross-referenced. Then when you get on the ship go speak to the Maitre'd as soon as he's available for dining change request.
If they can't fix it on the ship as Cruise Fanatic covered, you could try an alternate approach. Give up your late seating and move to the open dining, and request that they reserve a table for your party of 6 at the same time each night....oh, say 8pm.
Thanks for the advice. I do have them wait listed and am not optimistic. Dave if I go the way you have suggested would we get the same table every night? Has anyone just tried the cash approach with the Maitre'd? I was thinking me and Grant could get the job done. Dont want to insult anyone though but more than willing to grease anyone that can the wheels moving.
I can't say if you'd get the same table every night. All you can do is ask and grease away. It is more likely that things will settle out by embarkation day as far as assigned seatings, and you will have no problem getting everyone placed in the late seating. At this point there is still a lot of flux in dinner seatings. Actually I am surprised to see a February HAL cruise with problems getting second seating. I'd think early seating would be the problem, given HAL's usual demographic for non-family cruise season.
Thanks Dave,
For me having the same wait staff every night is one of the best part of cruising. Having preferences acknowledged is just a great part of a cruise experience. I am going with heavy grease. I only cruise once a year and Its got to be right. Sold out ship probably because its presidents week and this kids are off. I take this week every year and its always jammed. I love how the airfare is so much less the week before and after
alfred, we're in the same "boat." My husband's a teacher, so we have to vacation during the peak season.
In any case, we were in exactly the same situation on a HAL cruise we took about a year-and-a-half ago. We were confirmed for our preferred fixed dining time but, when my niece and her husband booked a couple of weeks later for the same cruise, they were told that the only availability was in open seating. As Cruise Fanatic mentioned above, we cross-referenced our reservations and planned to talk with the maitre d' after we boarded. It wasn't necessary. Our niece and her family ended up being assigned to our table without us having to do a thing.
I still suggest, just in case, that you plan to make the maitre d' your first stop when he's available for change requests (do not wait until dinner time). You can acknowledge his assistance at the end of the cruise.
|All times are GMT -7. The time now is 02:25 PM.

WAR veteran John O'Keeffe was one of the lucky ones as he survived the German onslaught on the convoys of ships carrying goods to starving Britain when all around him other boats were being torpedoed or bombed with huge loss of life.
The Merchant Navy ships he served on throughout the Second World War always managed to escape the bombs that fell on the convoys and for no other reason than luck, he said, his ships were never torpedoed.
Mr O'Keeffe, 89, is the oldest poppy seller in Marlborough and he will be on parade in the town's Remembrance Sunday procession proudly wearing the ten medals that his 22 years sailing under the Red Ensign brought him.
One that he is proud of is the Falklands medal for his role in taking troops to take part in that war, as coxwain steering the QE2 that was carrying 5,000 troops, 2,000 Scottish, 2,000 Welsh soldiers and 1,000 Gurkhas.
The cruise liner that had carried him to just about every country in the world sailed to within 600 miles of the Falkland Islands, close enough for Royal Navy ships to ferry the troops the rest of the way.
The old mariner loved life at sea so much that he served in the Merchant Navy twice, firstly from 1940 to 1946 and then he re-joined in 1970 until 1986.
He said: "I did enjoy being away at sea for the comradeship of the many men I served with but the best part was always coming home."

Like it fresh? Then look for the logo
People love to jump on bandwagons. Not literally, of course (do bandwagons still exist?), but the point is this: For the last few years, everybody's been touting that their food is fat-free this, organic that, gluten-free whatever and positively all-natural and local whatnot. Some claims don't make sense; some are easy to verify - and some not so much.
Take "local," for example. Is a restaurant all of a sudden "fresh and local" because the chef buys a few ears of corn in Grove Park on a Tuesday afternoon, and the rest of his or her food arrives in a gigantic silver 18-wheeler? Maybe, maybe not, and diners certainly have no way of knowing - until now.
I am honored to be a part of Southern Delaware Tourism's Local on the Menu initiative. As part of the Come to the Culinary Coast - Life Tastes Better Here campaign, Local on the Menu unites Sussex chefs with Sussex growers through an online database. The system provides a real-time snapshot of what's available today in the fields and barns, and what's needed tonight by the restaurants. Members display a distinctive logo on their menus and signage to verify that a set percentage of their ingredients did, in fact, grow right here in Sussex County.
A few weeks ago, Millsboro's Cordrey Center became the perfect springtime venue for growers, ranchers, brewers, restaurant owners, chefs, winemakers, food writers and public relations people to welcome the media, government officials and others to the christening of Local on the Menu. Executive Director Scott Thomas joined Southern Delaware Tourism Board Chairwoman Lana O'Hollaren and Marketing Administrator Jenna Beard to ensure that everyone had a good time - and did not leave hungry.
Abbott's Grill owner Kevin Reading and Chef Ryan Cunningham wowed everybody with skillets brimming with duck confit gnocchi with caramelized cippolini onions. I'd love to share the aroma of those sautéing little orbs, but scratch & sniff technology has yet to appear in the world of newsprint. The equally fragrant lavender ladies, Marie Mayor and Sharon Harris, were in attendance as Hobos' Gretchen Hanson brewed up cauldrons of lemonade spiked with Lavender Fields' latest harvest. It paired perfectly with her grilled rockfish encrusted with crunchy soy panko. Soy panko, yet. Leave it to Gretchen.
Nage marketing diva Chrissy Sarro and Chef Ted Deptula promoted the new Root Gourmet deli with beer bread (thank you, 16 Mile) and fresh, citrusy salads. Chef Hari Cameron (the poster child for sustainable Sussex County eats) demonstrated some of the goodies he'll be plating up at his new Rehoboth venture, a(Muse.) - including an impromptu lesson on how to corral a particularly feisty soft shell crab. (You had to be there.) Chef John Bimber of The Brick Hotel impressed the crowd with pork loin marinated in Dogfish Head's gluten-free beer. Pork and beer. Two of the four basic food groups….
The room was full of munching glitterati. State Rep. Ruth Briggs King lent her support to Local on the Menu, along with Delaware Secretary of Agriculture Ed Kee. Both moved from station to station enjoying the best stuff Delaware has to offer. Some of that stuff included sips from Peggy Raley's Nassau Valley Vineyards and Fenwick Wine Cellars' boss Adrian Mobilia. 16 Mile Brewery was represented by co-owner Chad Campbell, and Greer Stangl (a marketing diva in her own right) introduced partygoers to T.S. Smith and Sons' latest potion, Black Twig Sparkling Hard Apple Cider.
So the next time a restaurant touts itself as "local and fresh," look for the logo. Life certainly does taste better here.

Hoping to visit Newport for a weekend in June. Have seen recommendations for the Viking and Castle Hill but the word "hill" gives pause as I have back problems that make steep walking a problem.
Walking on the flat is not an issue - would like to stay in one of the nicest hotels but if access is steep does anyone have a recommendation for someplace that is not in a hilly location?
We will have a car of course but enjoy walking as much as possible.

Steve Haskin's Derby Watch--Week 2 (1/29)
Siphonic remains on top as list expands to 30 contenders.Steve Haskin's Weekly Report (1/29): Not Easy For 'Gitgo'Normally, a weekend that features the Lecomte Stakes from Fair Grounds and a pair of allowance races from Gulfstream is not going to cause any great tremors on the Derby trail. While this past weekend was no exception, we did have several impressive performances, by losers as well as winners, that could have an impact in the weeks ahead.Steve Haskin's Derby Watch--Week 1 (1/23)
Despite Siphonic's second in the Santa Catalina, Steve Haskin says the 3-year-old remains his top pick for the May 4 Kentucky Derby. In this first installment leading up to the spring classic, Haskin lists his top contenders and those "Knocking on the Door."Searching for the Winner
He's out there, somewhere. He may be in the back of his stall nibbling on a mound of alfalfa, or stretched out with his head nestled in a bed of straw. He may be nothing more than a shrouded figure galloping through an early morning fog or a mere silhouette against a golden sunrise. But one thing is certain: somewhere out there is the winner of the 2002 Kentucky Derby (gr. I).Hitting the Trail
As the masses congregate at the start of the Kentucky Derby trail, there will, as usual, be lots of pushing and shoving until late February and early March when the contenders begin to separate themselves from the pack. But disappointment and frustration can be prevelant just getting to the Derby trail, as evidenced by the number of highly promising juveniles who stumbled along the way last week.McPeek on the Move
While many are preparing to open their Christmas presents Tuesday morning, Kenny McPeek is already playing with his new toys. Even though the Kentucky Derby is still over four months away, McPeek is thinking more of mint juleps than egg nog.Siphonic and Other Presents
This is it, the final report for 2001. Starting next week, we'll officially be on the 2002 Kentucky Derby trail, as the major scenes shift to Gulfstream and Santa Anita, joining the already-in-progress Fair Grounds and Aqueduct meets. We close the year with the Hollywood Futurity and several more impressive maiden and allowance victories.
A Triple Shot of Shug
The one trainer who seems to be establishing his niche in this year's Derby picture is Shug McGaughey. With Saarland, Maybry's Boy, and D'Coach, it's as if McGaughey is standing at the quarter pole with a slingshot and launching some speeding projectiles down the Aqueduct stretch.2002 Derby Hopefuls: Horse-By-Horse Rundown
Before the early (and we stress early) list of classic hopefuls gets too long, we're going to sort out the growing number of promising 2-year-olds and take a crack at where they might fit in the 2002 Kentucky Derby picture. We're sure there will be omissions, but this at least will provide an idea who might be some of the major players next spring. Horses are listed in alphabetical order.

New Delhi: Delhi has the lowest power tariff in comparison to other cities, said Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Sunday, reacting to a protest organised by the opposition in the wake of the recent hike in power rates.
The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) only days earlier announced increase in power rates, against which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organised a protest before the chief minister's official residence and at the local levels across the city.
"The power rates are the cheapest in Delhi in comparison to NCR (National Capital Region) towns, other metro cities and states ruled by other parties in the country," said Ms Dikshit.
The power rate in Delhi is Rs 2.70 per unit while it is Rs 4.75 in Ghaziabad and Noida, Rs 4.90 in Gurgaon, Rs 4.70 in Mumbai and Rs 6.40 in Kolkata.
"Our government has neutralised the hike for poor and middle-class families by granting subsidy immediately after the power tariff was increased," added Ms Dikshit.
As per the subsidy, consumers in the bracket of 0-200 units would continue to pay Rs 2.70 per unit whereas those consuming 201-400 units would pay 80 paise less than the new rate.
Expressing dismay at the opposition claims, Ms Dikshit added: "The principal opposition, BJP, is misleading people by promising 30 per cent reduction in the rates. Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party has been telling consumers to connect the snapped connections and also not to pay inflated power bills."
She was addressing people after inaugurating a transit camp that will serve the needs of devotees - Kanwadias - who undertake pilgrimage on foot to Haridwar from where they return with water from the Ganga river.

Join the Revolution: The Seed Underground
"Our seeds are disappearing. When seed varieties vanish from the marketplace they evaporate not only from collective memory, but also from the evolutionary story of the Earth." So says author Janisse Ray, in the book trailer for her latest work of nonfiction, The Seed Underground.
Ray has been called the Rachel Carson of the South, loved for her eloquent and passionate essays and books about the natural environment.
Her latest book, The Seed Underground, takes her on a journey across the country to witness a small but growing revolution: people growing cherished, unique food plants, saving their seeds, sharing them, and helping to preserve the rich diversity of our food heritage along the way.
Recently The Atlanta Journal Constitution said,
"If a rally could be contained in the pages of a book, The Seed Underground is one, its language by turns incantatory, pleading, rabble-rousing, a challenge to rise to the occasion, to 'man up or lie there and bleed.'
From the stirring call to reclaim our seeds — 'developed by our ancestors, grown by them and by us, and collected for use by our citizenry' — to their irresistible names, like Little White Lady pea, Speckled Cut Short Cornfield bean, Purple Blossom Brown-Striped Half-runner bean and Blue Java pea, Ray boldly seduces us into joining this critical and much-needed revolution."
Janisse was featured on American Public Media's radio show Marketplace, discussing the science and business of seeds. Listen here.
Catch a glimpse of the author's home farm in her charming, brief book trailer for The Seed Underground:

ONTARIO >> There is one less coaching vacancy in the Inland Valley after Ontario named veteran coach John Kusleika head football coach. The move was finalized at Tuesday night's district school board meeting.
Kusleika is looking forward to bringing some stability to a program that has seen considerable turnover. Ron Stocking started his third year as head coach, but he resigned three games into the season to accept a job out of the education field. His departure left the reigns to athletic director Ryan Alvarez.
"It's nice to be back and in charge of a program again. I love this school district. It's one of the best around and I couldn't see myself leaving it," said Kusleika, who has worked in the district since 1999.
Kusleika, 45, last headed a program at Alta Loma from 2002-2008, with the Braves going 34-39-1 and making the playoffs three times during that stretch. After stepping down at Alta Loma, he became an assistant at the University of La Verne, his alma mater.
Then it was two years as an assistant at Rancho Cucamonga before moving to Redlands East Valley, where he worked as offensive coordinator under oldl friend Kurt Bruich the past season.
Kusleika will maintain his teaching position at Los Osos High School until a position opens up at Ontario. It is his third year teaching physical education there.
"It's not the ideal situation, but we have to make the best of it," he said.
Kusleika plans to meet with players on Thursday. He would have done so today but many athletes are participating in other sports.
The next task is to start assembling a staff. Kusleika said he will speak with those on staff already as well as with others he has worked with in the past.
"There's a difference between having a football team and having a program," he said. "I want to bring in people that have the same energy and passion to keep this program moving forward."
Alvarez is excited to have the veteran coach on board.
"The choice was easy," he said. "He was by far the best candidate. He has experience and he understands the kind of players we have here."
The Jaguars were 1-9 last year, with the lone win against winless Garey. They did have three losses by a touchdown or less.
Kusleika's appointment leaves six schools with head coach openings — Fontana, Summit, Don Lugo, Rialto, Rim of the World and Diamond Bar.

Mass. transportation chief selling Patrick plan
BOSTON — State Transportation Secretary Richard Davey is on the road selling Gov. Deval Patrick's plan to spend $13 billion on the state's transportation system in the next decade.
The Boston Globe reports [1] that Davey's message is simple: The governor's proposal has something for everyone.
Backers of Patrick's plan say the plan presents an opportunity to make sure the state's roads, bridges, and public transit systems are in good shape for years to come.
Marc Draisen, executive director of the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, which focuses on planning and transportation, said taxpayers need to be convinced that tax dollars will translate into meaningful improvements, particularly after the Big Dig and mistrust of massive, costly transportation projects.
Some critics say the effort is political and intended to persuade taxpayers to accept unrealistic promises about transportation.

Consequências da flexibilidade
[The consequences of flexibility]
Processes such as globalization, the spread of information technology and the intensification of competition caused significant and meaningful changes in the labour market. On one hand there are some companies that invest in innovation and quality, allowing and encouraging the growth of workers skills, and on the other hand a large number of companies bring the deterioration of employment and working conditions, through the reduction of labour costs and a deregulated market. The flexible company presents itself as the most effective way to ensure competitiveness in an environment of instability and global competition. There are several strategies of readjustment that companies have at their disposal in restructuring the organization of work, from the adjustment of hours of work (part-time, flexible hours, shifts, ect.) to the outsourcing of one or more activities. The flexible market is a reality in European countries and the European Commission seeks to regulate it through the implementation of the Flexicurity model. Combining flexibility with security, this controversial concept combines a flexible labour market with a security system strong and effective. There are several consequences of this flexible management on individuals lives, there seems to be an improvement in living and working conditions for some individuals, who benefit from the reduction of working hours maintaining a stable position with good working conditions, and a deterioration to others, who are subject to a pace of work more intense, with irregular and unpredictable schedules.

Making an Orange Rose
TO ADD COLOR to any dessert platter, try your hand at an easy yet impressive orange rose. Just follow these steps:
Cut a very thin slice from bottom of orange and discard. Starting at the top of the orange, with a vegetable peeler, cut a continuous narrow strip of peel in a spiral fashion around the entire orange.
Starting at the end of the strip where you started, wrap the strip around itself to form a coil. Insert one or two toothpicks horizontally into the base to secure.

"So Jonathan goes in search, joining up with a group, including a grandfather, who owns a tourist service, and grandson. Everything we read is going on in the mind of our American as they travel in the Ukraine. When they find where the village was, there is only one person left — the woman. She says to him, 'I am the town,' and shows him shoe boxes filled with all kinds of personal things — memories of the former inhabitants, now living in the shoe boxes, like a gold watch, for example. She never admits she is Augustine.
"It is a long book with so many things going on as they travel around to find the town where the grandfather had lived before escaping to America, but it is a well-written story and engrossing plot. In fact, I started it on a Friday and finished it on Sunday. I hated to put it down because it is so fascinating. The author describes things that come alive — emotionally and mentally. I was affected, and as a result decided to put on the Anne Frank play at school this year.
"I read a lot of fiction. The last nonfiction book I read was over the summer. It is 'Unbroken,' by Laura Hillenbrand. A guy who was a former Olympic runner is part of a flight crew during World War II that went down in the ocean; he was captured by the Japanese — and his story is incredible. He comes back bitter and frustrated, but eventually he finds redemption. I was a little bit leery, but it was selected by my book club and I do like World War II books, so I read it. I liked it so much! The author does a fascinating job of writing. It is a page turner and I became emotionally involved.
"Probably the book I remember with most affection from my childhood is 'The Little Prince.' I grew up with a French stepmother who read it to us in French, and later I read it in English. It captures what it is like to be a child. The other one I remember so well is 'The Brothers K.' It's by David James Duncan. It's set in the '50s in America and follows a family with four boys and two girls. It's a kind of coming of age of the family."

London, July 14 (ANI): Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has urged that Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to concentrate on spreading tennis among children in parks and schools and abandon their strategy of investing in players with little hope of making it in the sport.
According to the British No.1, as the numbers at the top of the game are too thin to expect an overnight renaissance on the back of a 'feel good' factor from his Wimbledon triumph, the LTA needs to encourage children to get on court at a younger age, the Guardian reports.
Stating that the LTA can start by improving the facilities like building more courts in schools, the Scot said that if the sport is a part of the Physical Education course, more children can start playing from a younger age, adding that the earlier a player starts, the more chance he has of making it ahead.
Enjoying the fact that young players look up to him, Murray further said that one of the positive things about attaining success in the game is that he can inspire a child or few children to take up the game, adding that he was inspired by Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski.
However, Murray insisted that he is not the right person to ask whether LTA will exploit his win to revive the game, adding that his mother would be a more suitable person as she knows more about grassroots tennis and how difficult it is to get kids to play.
Stating that the body has invested 25 million pounds into tennis facilities over the past five years, a LTA spokesman said that they have worked with the Tennis Foundation to deliver teacher training and free equipment to more than two million children in over half the schools in the country.
The spokesman further said that Murray's Wimbledon win has got everyone talking about tennis, adding that their job is to get more people playing tennis. (ANI)

Financial Protection of Patients through Compensation of Providers: The Impact of Health Equity Funds in Cambodia
Public providers have no financial incentive to respect their legal obligation to exempt the poor from user fees. Health Equity Funds (HEFs) aim to make exemptions effective by giving NGOs responsibility for assessing eligibility and compensating providers for lost revenue. We use the geographic spread of HEFs in Cambodia to identify their impact on out-of-pocket (OOP) payments. Among households with some OOP payment, HEFs reduce the amount by 29%, on average. The effect is larger for households that are poorer, mainly use public health care and live closer to a district hospital. HEFs are more effective in reducing OOP payments when they are operated by a NGO, rather than the government, and when they operate in conjunction with the contracting of public health services. HEFs reduce households' health-related debt by around 25%, on average. There is no significant impact on non-medical consumption and health care utilisation.

The judge in a class-action, antitrust case involving four big tech companies and 64,000 current and former Silicon Valley workers set a Jan. 12 trial date in the much-watched case, putting pressure on the parties as they resume negotiations toward a possible settlement.
In the case, Apple, Google, Intel and Adobe are accused of conspiring not to recruit each other's workers, suppressing wages from 2005 to 2009. The case is based on a 2011 Department of Justice case that also involved Intuit, Pixar and LucasFilm, which settled previously with the workers.
U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh Thursday posted a proposed schedule including a Dec. 18 pretrial conference and the Jan. 12 date for the trial to begin. An alternate date of March 9 is also listed. The judge estimated that the trial would last 17 days.
The trial would be pre-empted by a settlement, and on Wednesday attorneys filed a document saying they had resumed mediation with former U.S. District Judge Layn Phillips.
Koh rejected a proposed settlement of $324.5 million on Aug. 8, saying it was too little to compensate the workers. The ruling came after a former named plaintiff in the case, Michael Devine, urged her to reject it. The judge suggested $380 million would be more in line with the previous settlements in the case.
A trial could put top Silicon Valley executives, such as former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and the company's founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page on the witness stand. The companies' lawyers have told the court they might call as many as 70 witnesses, the workers' attorneys said they might call 37. Neither side appears to have made its list public.
The case also revealed emails from the late Steve Jobs that made headlines because of the former Apple CEO's personal involvement in opposing other companies' attempts to hire Apple employees.
Adobe and Apple declined to comment. Google and Intel did not immediately respond, but previously declined comment on court developments this week. Attorneys for the workers did not respond to requests for comment.

Fairly new U.S. pre-paid wireless carrier Ting will offer new customers up to a $350 credit per line for early termination fees to transfer to their network. Starting February 1st, they've allocated $100K to make this happen for the whole month. For those skeptical that this isn't enough dinero, Ting responded to the Ars post where I first read about this saying:
Hi, Michael from Ting. I appreciate this thread. But I don't get all the suspicion and concern about the numbers. At an average of about $200 an ETF, we'll pay out about 500 users in the month. We're doing it to see if these people go on to become good paying customers when their credits run out (and we should consider scaling out this deal) and, sure, to generate some buzz and get more people checking us out. Beyond those 500 customers, others will continue come to us every day who either are not under contract or choose to pay out their contract to start getting monthly savings sooner. It doesn't make sense to suggest that our new subscribers in the month of February would suddenly be limited to those that participate in this promotion. And it doesn't make sense to suggest that we shouldn't help out ~500 people if we can't help out absolutely everyone. It's a nice little test and promotion and a bunch of people will be happy.
Ting is a Canadian company, but will operate in the U.S. It's a Sprint MNVO similar to Boost or Virgin Mobile, which means doesn't own the spectrum it operates under, but unlike Boost or Virgin though, Ting isn't a subsidiary of Sprint. Most Android devices that work on Sprint or any of its MNVOs including devices with WiMAX or LTE (with the exception of Boost and Virgin devices) will work on Ting. If you're a current customer on Sprint and would like to keep your number, you'll need to port it to an non-activate Sprint phone or port it to a Ting phone that you can buy in their online store.
Trying not to sound like a shill for Ting, but this carrier seems great. They have an à la carte menu for minutes, messaging, and data. You pay for exactly what what you use.
You choose your plans for minutes, messages and megabytes. If you go over on any of them, we will reconcile in the next pay period so you pay for what you actually used (without penalty). Likewise, if you go under on any of them, we will credit you in the next pay period so you pay for what you actually used. Again, we will credit you.
They're also Android only with a full support team and forums that tackle device and Android specific issues. That's a first for a carrier. Regarding non-Android devices:
We're big fans of Apple and all that they've accomplished with the iPhone. Perhaps one day we'll be in a position to offer it to our customers but currently we have no plans to offer the iPhone.
As for Windows Phone, we like that OS and some of the hardware that runs it too. Again though, no current plans to offer it.

David Fullarton Can't Apologize Enough
"This is an ongoing series of small mixed media drawings. Each one is an imagined apology combined with a pencil portrait drawn from found pictures of people I've never met. Although I'm British, I've lived in the USA for the last 16 years, which means I come from a place where everyone constantly aplogises for everything, and I live in a place where no one ever apologizes for anything. This series has come about as a result of that experience....'January 28, 2013

Edmar and Cleiton Xavier were on target in the second half as FC Metalist Kharkiv got the better of SK Rapid Wien in UEFA Europa League Group K.
One of the most entertaining teams in the competition last season, Metalist were heading towards their second goalless draw in as many European games until substitute Edmar headed in on 66 minutes. Cleiton Xavier ended any hope of a comeback 14 minutes later, with Rapid's Guido Burgstaller dismissed in added time for a lunge on Cristian Villagra.
Metalist's start resembled their shirts, bright, as their busy attacking quartet of South Americans pressed for an early opening, Taison forcing a save from Lukas Königshofer inside five minutes.
So impressive in securing Metalist a point on matchday one against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, goalkeeper Olexandr Goryainov then showed his bravery as he dived to smother the rebound after Deni Alar had glanced Steffen Hofmann's free-kick against the upright.
In an open contest, chances came and went for both teams before the break. After the vigilant Marco Torsiglieri had prevented Burgstaller applying the finishing touch to Alar's cross and Mario Sonnleitner headed the ensuing corner wide, Königshofer beat out José Ernesto Sosa's attempt at the other end. Sosa delivered the resulting corner from which Cleiton Xavier nodded off-target.
The Austrian Bundesliga leaders – beaten 2-1 by Rosenborg BK a fortnight ago – came out for the second period keen to make a swift impact, and Alar tested Goryainov after being fed by Hofmann. Myron Markevich's side responded through Sosa, who skewed a shot over the angle of post and bar, a miss for which he would soon atone.
Standing on the Metalist right, the Argentinian delivered a free-kick into the heart of the penalty area which the unmarked Edmar steered beyond Königshofer. The points were then sealed with a goal made in Brazil, Cleiton Xavier finishing off a slick move after substitute Willian had done well to hook Taison's ball back across the box.

Trial for Richmond Hill explosion suspect could take place in Allen County
Allen County is under formal consideration to hold the trial for one of three people accused in the 2012 Richmond Hill explosion.
Prosecutor Denise Robinson Wednesday withdrew her objection to the defense request for a change of venue for Mark Leonard's trial. Judge Sheila Carlisle then granted the motion.
On Friday, Eyewitness News learned that Allen County could end up hosting the trial.
Prosecutors say Leonard, his brother Bob, and Monserrate Shirley blew up Shirley's house in November of 2012, killing two neighbors and damaging dozens of homes.
Defense lawyers for Mark Leonard asked for the change of venue because of extensive media coverage. Judge Carlisle called in dozens of potential jurors to question them one-by-one over the past three days about their knowledge of the case to determine if it would be possible to assemble an impartial jury for a trial in Indianapolis.
The other two suspects, Bob Leonard and Monserrate Shirley, have also filed for a change of venue. They will likely go through the same "test jury" process as Mark Leonard.

"A Pleasant Working Experience"
- Work/Life Balance
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
Ben Sherman is the only retail store to date that I would ever go back to. The store in SoHo NY has about 30-35 employees, tops, and only a handful of managers. Everyone knows each other, are respectful, and the atmosphere is laid back unless it gets busy. The crowd that would frequent this location is mostly tourists because its situated on Broadway. You do have to wear Ben Sherman clothing, but every season you get an allotment and are rewarded with good sales with gift cards. Also, Ben Sherman occasionally hosts cool parties with DJs and drinks that the employees "work" at...Good Times!
Salary to start is very fair, and competitive to your experience.
They used to have decent break times for 6 hour shifts, with a half hour for break and 10 minute breaks. But they did away with the extra breaks halfway through my time there with a corporate management turn over.
Advice to Management
Keep treating the employees with respect and they'll love you for it.
Liberal clothing discount. Great customer base however.
Poor management at the store level.
Advice to Management
Study NORDSTROM's approach to customer service and personnel grooming.

Figures released by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) show that in 2012 there were more than 70,000 photographs and videos being swapped by around 8,000 offenders.
This figure represents a two fold increase in previous years with experts warning that the increased use and understanding of the internet and emerging technologies was fuelling the rise.
Recent figures from the NSPCC revealed that around 190,000 British children will be abused by someone other than a relative before they are 18, with approximately 10,000 new victims being reported each year.
CEOP's annual report into the landscape of child sexual exploitation also found that offenders were increasingly using highly sophisticated encrypted websites to hide their online activities.
The report found that the number of internet users in the UK who were connecting to encrypted or secret networks increased by two thirds during 2012, one of the largest annual increases globally.
While not all those using the so called "hidden internet" would be engaging in child sex exploitation, CEOP said it was inevitable there would have been an increase in offending.
The report also revealed how there had been an increase in instances of abuse being live streamed direct to paedophiles' computers, often from Third World countries.
Abusers were making contact with vulnerable families in poor countries and then encouraging children to engage in sexual activity on live webcams in return for payment to their family or organised crime groups.
Researchers warned that as more parts of the Third World gained access to the internet this problem could increase yet further.
CEOP also warned that the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016, which are both due to take place in Brazil, could provide an opportunity for British abusers to exploit children working in the sex industry there.
Peter Davies, the chief executive of CEOP said: "Events of the last year show that interest in protecting children, both online and offline, has never been greater and we hope that sharing what we know with as many other people as possible will help make children safer.
"Our assessment shows that, sadly, there are still too many children at risk and too many people who would cause them serious harm. We should all practice zero tolerance to child sexual exploitation and abuse."
He added: "Child protection isn't the preserve of specialists, it's the duty of every individual and of society in general. Only by building a shared understanding of the risks will we be able to work effectively to eliminate them."

Florida Statutes Chapter 83.49 govern the rights and duties of landlord and tenant regarding the security deposit [ to view Florida Statutes online go to http://www.flsenate.gov/Statutes/index.cfm ]. One of the purposed of this statutes is to reduce the amount of lawsuits over security deposits, so the legislature established a series of hurdles each party must cross in order to preserve their rights. Because the rules are meant to deny litigants the key to the court house door, they are strictly enforced.
The responsibilities of the landlord and the tenant are determined by whether the tenant vacates:
at the end of a written lease.
before the end of a written lease
at the end of an oral lease
before the end of an oral lease.
1. Tenant vacates and the end of a written lease.
In order to impose a claim against the security deposit the landlord must send a notice of intent to impose a claim to the tenant. The notice must:
be sent to the tenants by certified mail
be sent within 30 days after the tenants vacated the leased premises
state the amount of the deposit being claimed by the landlord
specify the reasons for the claim
inform the tenants that the tenants must assert any objections to the claim within 15 days of receipt of the notice or the tenants will forfeit their right to object.
Provide the landlord address the tenants should send their objection to.
If the landlord fails to send the notice within the 30 days, or if the landlord sends a defective notice, the landlord forfeits his right to impose a claim against the security deposit. This is regardless of the amount of damage done by the tenants. The landlord may, however, still sue the tenant for damages after returning the entire security deposit.
The notice is to be sent to the tenants last know address. If the tenant did not provide a forwarding address, the landlord should send the notice to the leased premises.
A court has ruled that a landlord who did not the tenant's new address, but did know the tenant's attorney's address, was not required to send the notice to the attorney, but was allowed to send the notice to the leased premises [Newman v. Gray 4 Fla Law Weekly Supp 271 (Dade County 1996)].
Once the landlord has send a proper notice of intent to impose claim, the burden shifts to the tenant to send an objection by certified mail within 15 days of receiving the notice. If the tenant fails to do so, the tenant absolutely waives any right to object to the landlord's claim and the landlord must remit that amount the landlord did not claim within 30 days of the date the landlord sent the original notice of intent to impose claim.
2. Tenant vacates before the end of a written lease or
3. at the end of an oral lease or
4. before the end of an oral lease:
The landlord does not have to send a notice of intent to impose claim on the security deposit unless the tenant first sends the landlord a notice. The tenant's notice must
be send seven days before the tenant vacates the leased premises
be sent by certified mail or hand delivered
provide a forwarding address for the landlord
If the tenant does not send this notice, the landlord does not have to send a notice. The tenant's failure to send the notice does not affect the parties' rights to the deposit money.
Another way of vacating before the end of the lease is when the landlord evicts the tenant. In this case, the landlord should not have to send a notice, but one court ruled that the landlord did have to [Speigner v. Holland 1 Fla Law Weekly Supp 529a (Brevard County 1993)]. I suggest that you send a notice anyway so it is not an issue. To get a "Notice of Intent to Impose Claim on Security Deposit" go to FloridaREI.com, "landlord forms page, "Claim on Security Deposit."

text: On Friday afternoon my dad found 3 abandoned pups near his yard. Poor things were left hungry, terrified, and COVERED in fleas. He caught them and brought them home. We bathed them (twice), fed them and dewormed them. I need advice on finding them a home/foster home. My mother in law may take one because she has been talking about getting another dog. I did call a shelter to get some info (NOT sending them to a shelter) and they gave me a number to a local foster agency but any advice on sources for finding foster homes if this agency can't help (they were closed today. calling tomorrow). I have NO experience rescuing strays and rehoming them. My dad doesn't really want to have them more than a week or two and I cannot bring them here so I need to find them a good place with experienced dog people quickly and I don't really know many. I guess I need advice on good sources for finding homes/foster homes with educated dog people and advice on screening people who are interested. What to ask, what to watch out for, red flags, etc.

Biological Description
Body slender, slightly compressed, moderately deep; angle of head from tip of head to dorsal fin shallow; caudal peduncle long and deep; skin without scales; lateral line straight and near midpoint of body. Head small, slender, compressed dorso-ventrally; snout long; mouth nearly teminal, upper jaw slightly longer than lower; maxillary barbels longer than head; eye relatively large; teeth on upper jaw in a broad transverse band without backward extensions. Dorsal fin with 1 spine, slightly serrated in young fish, becoming smooth in adults; adipose prominent and elevated; caudal fin deeply forked; anal fin base long, 24 to 29 rays; pelvic fins abdominal; pectoral fins with a single spine, serrated on posterior edge. Color bluish to greenish gray dorsally; grayish-white ventrally; sides spotted with dark flecks which are absent in very young and fading in old fish.
Life History
When they first mature, males are usually larger than females. In Lake Erie about half the males were mature when they reached 11.0-11.2 inches in length, and half the females at 9.8-11.0 inches. In Kansas ponds males become mature at 12 to 15 inches and females at 10.5 to 11 inches.
Spawning usually takes place in spring when water temperatures are between 70° and 80° F. The male selects and cleans a nest site and secretes mucous to make a smooth surface within the nest. Nest sites are usually in sheltered areas such as hollow logs, muskrat burrows, or under banks. In hatchery ponds, ceramic drain tiles are used successfully. The male guards the nest and keeps eggs clean by fanning them with the pelvic fins. Egg production varies between 1,600 and 70,000 eggs, the number generally depending on the size of the female. The large yellow eggs hatch in 9 to 10 days at 60° to 65° F, or in 5 to 6 days at 77° F.
Channel catfish live a fairly long life; fish more than 14 years old have been reported in several waters. A large catfish may be 36 inches long and weigh 25 pounds. The world record channel catfish taken on hook and line weighed 58 pounds. The growth rate is affected by numerous factors and varies considerably in different waters.
Geographic Distribution
The natural range of channel catfish extends from southern Canada southwest of the Appalachians to Florida, west through the Gulf States, and northwest to the Rocky Mountains. This species now abounds in the Snake River from Swan Falls to the Columbia River.
Habits and Habitats
Its preferred habitat is large rivers, shallow reservoirs, and lakes. Channel catfish are found most often in clear lakes, reservoirs, and streams, but they can survive in muddy water. In streams they are usually found in moderate to swift current over sand, gravel, and rubble bottoms. In flowing water they are sometimes found over mud bottoms. They are seldom found in dense aquatic vegetation. The young, yearlings, and subadults in streams remain in rather shallow water. Little is known about their habitat preference in lakes. Adults come into shallow water at night to feed, but return to deep holes or shelters during daylight. Channel catfish thrive at water temperatures above 70° F. Tagged fish in a small pond (1.8 acres) in Kansas moved within a small area, with the greatest activity just at sunset and before sunrise. Catfish tagged in a large lake (2,000 acres) in Oklahoma returned to their areas of original capture when released at a central point.
Channel catfish feed by sight and taste, using the barbels, and consume a variety of food items. Feeding is usually at night, but often also occurs during the day. Young catfish (less than 4 inches long) feed primarily on Diptera, but also eat caddisflies and mayflies. Larger fish (4-12 inches long) eat insects primarily but also eat terrestrial insects, seeds, crayfish, aquatic insect nymphs, spiders, and vegetation. The kinds of fishes eaten by large catfish depend largely on what is available, and the following species are known to occur: minnows, catfishes, bluegills, crappie, yellow perch, hickory shad, herring, gizzard shad, American eels, fingeling arp, and green sunfish. One stomach contained an adult bobwhite quail.
Idaho Conservation Status
Idaho Native or Import
Introduced. The first introduction into Idaho was in 1893 when 100 fish were released into the Boise River by the U.S. Fish Commission. There is no evidence than any reproduction resulted from this early plant. It was introduced again in 1940 by Idaho Fish and Game Department and releases were made in Little Wood River, Snake River at Burley, and Snake River between Glenns Ferry and Weiser.
In recent yers, the channel catfish has become quite popular with Idaho anglers, especially during the early spring and summer months. The rod and reel fishermen use a variety of baits such as night crawlers, cut baits, and odoriferous concoctions of various kinds. To be most effective, the bait has to be fished near the bottom. The flesh is white, firm, and of excellent quality, and may be prepared in a variety of ways.

It's more than a place for a cup of coffee.
"You don't know how many times I wished and prayed for something like this," Mary Rolig said to Louise Rowland, the owner of the Coffee Corner at West and Clifton avenues in North Augusta.
The coffee shop, which opened about 18 months ago, has become a gathering place for many in the community.
"It's a social center," said Norma Walker, who visits the shop on a regular basis her husband, Norman.
Many of the morning regulars are members of the Jesse Lynch Memorial American Legion Post 71.
Mrs. Rowland's husband, Harry, is the commander of the American Legion's 11th district in Georgia and a member of Post 63 near Lake Olmstead in Augusta.
"We come in here to harass him," said Mrs. Walker, who two years ago became the first woman to serve as state commander of the American Legion in South Carolina.
The topics of conversation at the shop run the gamut.
"We're the information exchange," Mrs. Walker said.
"That sounds a lot better than gossip," Mrs. Rowland said.
On Monday, someone brought information about pigeons because a question came up the week before about why pigeons do not live in the woods.
"We're so educated here," said Beverly Aldrich, another American Legion member.
Despite their good-natured ribbing, the customers said they've grown to be a family of sorts.
"We sign cards when people are sick," Mrs. Rowland said.
Midge Albanese stopped by after her morning workout.
"I went to Curves. I was afraid I'd miss something," said Mrs. Albanese, who turned 84 Wednesday and celebrated her 60th wedding anniversary last week.
Mrs. Albanese, who Mrs. Rowland described as bubbly, told a story about her new car.
"I was getting ready to take my key out (outside Curves), and I hit the panic button. I didn't know what to do," she said.
At the men's table, Mr. Rowland was being ribbed about his American Legion affiliation and there was a dispute about who was the oldest at the table.
"The only thing we don't talk about is sex," Mr. Walker said with a laugh.
"The main topic we try to stay away from is religion," Mr. Rowland said.
"I discuss religion," Mr. Walker replied. He then started talking about the price of rice in Afghanistan.
At 1 p.m. each Tuesday, a group gathers to play Mexican train dominoes, and there is another group that plays checkers.
Sometimes, a Saturday rummy group keeps the shop open late, Mrs. Rowland said.
On Jan. 27, Jeanne McDaniel was at the shop signing her new book, Images of America, North Augusta, James U. Jackson's Dream, which brought in a lot of people.
Nearly 30 books were sold at the signing, Mrs. Rowland said.
The menu at the coffee shop is simple. There are a variety of coffees, lattes and cappuccinos. Soft drinks, sandwiches and pastries round it out.
Mrs. Rowland opened the shop mainly because she needed a storehouse for her mobile coffee service, Magic Brew. City regulations would not allow a warehouse in the city, but if it was attached to a restaurant then it was OK, she said.

M&T Bank subsidiary in Delaware notified of federal probe
The Securities and Exchange Commission has notified Wilmington Trust, an M&T Bank Corp. subsidiary, of possible enforcement action. The investigation centers on financial reporting and securities filings by the Delaware-based firm before M&T bought it in 2011.
Buffalo-based M&T said the SEC on Aug. 5 sent Wilmington Trust a "Wells notice," which provides notification of potential enforcement action and is named for a former SEC committee chairman. Recipients are given a chance to explain why the action should not be brought; Wilmington Trust sent its response Sept. 20.
"Counsel for Wilmington Trust has met with the SEC to discuss the investigation and its possible resolution," M&T said in a regulatory filing Tuesday. The SEC declined to comment on the investigation.
"The issues in question relate exclusively to Wilmington Trust Corp. and occurred prior to the merger with M&T Bank Corp.," Chet Bridger, an M&T spokesman, said in a follow-up statement about the regulatory filing. "We do not currently believe that any liability arising from these matters would have a material impact upon the company's consolidated financial position."
The Department of Justice is also investigating Wilmington Trust for actions that occurred prior to the M&T deal, the Buffalo-based bank said. M&T said both probes began before the Wilmington Trust acquisition.
M&T said the U.S. Justice Department is investigating Wilmington Trust's financial reporting and securities filings, as well as "certain commercial real estate lending relationships" involving its subsidiary bank, Wilmington Trust Co.
Attorneys for Wilmington Trust have met with the Justice Department to discuss the investigation, which continues, M&T said. A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment.
M&T said the investigations "could lead to administrative or legal proceedings resulting in potential civil and/or criminal remedies, or settlements, including, among other things, enforcement actions, fines, penalties, restitution or additional costs and expenses."
In December 2011, the News Journal newspaper in Wilmington, Del., citing unidentified sources, reported that Wilmington Trust was the subject of an FBI criminal probe and that a federal grand jury was impaneled to hear evidence. The report also said the SEC was conducting its own investigation.
M&T's $351 million stock purchase of Wilmington Trust, completed in May 2011, was the second-biggest acquisition in M&T's history. Wilmington Trust was a Delaware institution. It was the state's No. 1 bank, with a history stretching back more than a century to its founding by the president of DuPont Co.
At the time the deal was announced in the fall of 2010, Wilmington Trust was in disarray. Its stock had lost three-quarters of its value in the previous three years, and it had reported losses for six straight quarters, due in part to bad commercial real estate loans.
M&T officials said then that they had assessed the loan problems and risks, factoring those into the acquisition's price. "We've done a fairly extensive review and we felt very comfortable," M&T Chief Financial Officer Rene F. Jones said in a November 2010 interview.
Meanwhile, M&T, under an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, is working to strengthen its anti-money laundering practices, a process that has delayed its planned acquisition of New Jersey-based Hudson City Bancorp. Some observers have speculated that M&T was subjected to tougher scrutiny because of M&T's connection to Wilmington Trust, which has some overseas operations. But whether that factor contributed to the Federal Reserve's scrutiny has not been disclosed.
