JPMorgan Chase officials met their newest employees Friday and began the complicated process of learning what they bought after federal regulators seized Seattle-based Washington Mutual in the nation's largest bank failure.
The New York bankers said it's too early to know what the deal means for employees, branches and even WaMu's headquarters city.
"We bid on it Tuesday night, and the deal closed Thursday," spokesman Tom Kelly said. "We've got a lot of work to do."
The complex road ahead didn't keep real-estate and banking experts from speculating now.
"There are undoubtedly going to be job cuts," said Bert Ely, a bank consultant in Alexandria, Va., but "it's not like the pink slips are going to come immediately."
JPMorgan also may do some hiring, Ely said, as it expands businesses in which WaMu was not particularly strong, such as commercial lending and wealth management.
The net effect will be job losses, which have become sadly familiar at WaMu in recent years. Its ranks have dwindled from 60,798 employees in late 2005 to about 43,200 workers today, including more than 3,500 people in downtown Seattle.
JPMorgan bought WaMu largely because of its branches, particularly along the West Coast and in Florida. Charlie Scharf, head of retail banking at JPMorgan, said in a conference call Thursday that fewer than 10 percent of the combined branches would close.
Scharf joins JPMorgan's chief administrative officer, Frank Bisignano, in overseeing WaMu's transition.
They were among eight JPMorgan officials in Seattle on Friday to meet employees and get acquainted with the latest addition to the JPMorgan Chase empire.
At the same time, JPMorgan's credit-card and commercial-banking chiefs were in California, where those operations of WaMu are based.
Branch closures are likely in the few markets where WaMu overlaps with JPMorgan — Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City and the New York area — according to John McCune, head of research at SNL Financial in Charlottesville, Va.
The most profitable branches will stay open, whether they came from WaMu or JPMorgan, McCune said. "Generally, it's some mix of both, and you keep the branches that put you in the best position in the market."
Seattle office space
WaMu's demise will further erode the downtown Seattle office market, already starting to suffer the effects of the national economic slide.
Commercial real-estate brokers said WaMu owns or leases about 1.6 million square feet downtown, more than any other company. That's the equivalent of all the office space in the Columbia Center, Seattle's tallest building.
JPMorgan acquired WaMu's headquarters, the 42-story, 900,000-square-foot WaMu Center at Second Avenue and Union Street, completed two years ago.
WaMu also leases about 700,000 square feet in nearby downtown buildings, including the Washington Mutual Tower at 1201 Third Ave., the Newmark Tower and the 1111 Third Avenue Building.
If JPMorgan Chase cuts WaMu corporate staff in Seattle and large amounts of office space are put on the market, that could drive vacancy rates up and lease rates down.
That, in turn, could help persuade developers with new downtown office projects in the pipeline to hold off on construction.
WaMu already was giving back space before its demise. Oscar Oliveira, senior vice president with brokerage Colliers International, said the bank had subleased about 200,000 square feet, and quietly was marketing an additional 350,000.
John Miller, manager of brokerage Cushman & Wakefield's Seattle office, said the nationwide infrastructure of JPMorgan Chase means the impact probably will be more severe than if WaMu had been taken over by a foreign bank or private-equity investors.
Continued to trade
Against all odds, WaMu shares continued to trade Friday. That's because, while JPMorgan bought the company's banking subsidiary, it left behind the parent holding company — a shell containing little more than a passel of nonbanking subsidiaries. The shares fell to 16 cents as 102 million changed hands Friday. Among stockholders hit by WaMu's demise is the Washington State Investment Board, which said the collapse will cost pension and other types of funds it manages about $47 million, or 0.06 percent of its $78 billion in total assets under management.
The board manages investments for 17 public pension funds as well as 21 other public funds. Last week's bankruptcy filing by Lehman Brothers caused an estimated loss of about $130 million, or 0.17 percent of total assets, the board said.
Millions for CEO
Alan Fishman, chief executive for 18 days before the federal government took control, is eligible for $11.6 million in cash severance and can keep his $7.5 million signing bonus, according to an analysis by James F. Reda & Associates, a compensation-consulting firm in New York.
Fishman, a former CEO of New York-based Independence Community Bank, took over WaMu on Sept. 8 after the ouster of longtime CEO Kerry Killinger. Fishman remains CEO of WaMu's holding company, spokeswoman Darcy Donahoe-Wilmot said.
Killinger, who presided over WaMu for 18 years, was entitled to $16.5 million in cash severance, $14.9 million in deferred compensation and $7.5 million in estimated pension benefits, according to Reda. Killinger also left WaMu with company stock then worth about $5.1 million.
All told, Killinger received take-home pay totaling $98 million from 1994, the earliest year for which data is available, through 2007, according to Equilar, an executive-compensation research firm in Redwood Shores, Calif. He pocketed a total $22 million in 2006 and 2007 alone.
Among the losers in the collapse are the investors who in April put in $7.2 billion to bolster WaMu, paying $8.75 a share for stock and warrants potentially worth more than half the company. Their stake is now gone. Affiliates of private-equity firm TPG, which led the deal, had $2 billion invested in WaMu. "Obviously, we are dissatisfied with the loss to our partners and ourselves," a TPG spokesman said.
Pension claims
JPMorgan assumed the obligation to pay pension benefits to WaMu's retirees, said Andrew Gray, a spokesman for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in Washington, D.C. WaMu listed about 6,900 retirees on a 2006 IRS reporting form.
JPMorgan spokesman Kelly said Friday the bank is looking at all of WaMu's benefit plans, and declined to say if the bank would pay the benefits. He called the issue a "very detailed question."
According to regulatory filings, only a fraction of the pension plan was funded with WaMu stock, the report said.
JPMorgan also assumed WaMu's 401(k) plans for current employees, said the FDIC's Gray.
One former WaMu employee in Boston, who said he was laid off late last year, wondered Friday what will happen to about $650,000 he was to receive in deferred salary, which employees utilize for tax benefits.
The former employee, who asked that his name not be used, said he feared he was going to be "wiped out."
David Barr, an FDIC spokesman in Washington, D.C., said deferred compensation usually is treated as an unsecured claim. As a result, WaMu employees with such compensation might be out their money.
Kelly said the bank is looking at the question and might have an answer next week.

Diary of a Fresher: 'You know not to ask what "vegetable surprise!" contains...'
Thursday 30 April 2009
My college counts as fully-catered, though we have at our disposal one kitchenette between eight. Not a kitchen, a kitchenette: claustrophobically small, ovenless and with a lot of stainless steel. It's fine, but I've never really had much use for it, apart from for one experimental microwave meal. This worked fine (no explosions), although after discovering the remains of the repast a number of days later, I decided I would do well to stick to foods that stayed more inert when left on a plate for a little while.
Not wishing to live entirely on cereal and multivitamins (I've seen it done and the results are spotty), I eat most of my meals in hall. There's even a reasonable amount of choice – salad bar, soup vat, three or four main course options, a dazzling array of potato products, maybe a vegetable dish or two. You soon learn what to avoid – green beans and anything that you suspect to be the day before yesterday's vegetarian option which no one liked the first time, now reheated and disguised with a layer of melted cheese. You know that at some point they're bound to muddle up the quorn sausages with the real ones. And you especially know not to ask what "Vegetable Surprise!" contains. Contrary as it may be to the principles of academia, I fear that, in this instance, ignorance is bliss.
Admittedly, I have always been puzzled as to why the potato/vegetable ratio is always so skewed towards the former, but I'm definitely not complaining. It's very nice to have the option of chips every day, in marked contrast to my final, Jamie-Oliver-blighted years of school. Why the vege-mince always comes in spurts, sometimes lasting several days, is also a mystery. But as far as I'm concerned, the generous provision of free and unmonitored condiments, up to and including balsamic vinegar, absolves all sin. To be a student is to be able to put as much Tabasco on your macaroni cheese as you bloody well like. In fact, I'm so into the whole cafeteria service thing that I've even become one of the elite few who sometimes eats breakfast in hall. Even though the food is great, the place is always deserted. I guess the timing is just not very good for most people – arts students don't get up until long after 9am when breakfast has finished, and scientists, with early morning lectures, resentful of their artsy counterparts, tend not to get up until the last minute out of principle. This leaves the only breakfasters as the rowers, the runners, the guys who do circuit training every morning, and me. I guess that makes me an "individual".
The other, crucial, aspect of college catering is "formal hall". It is every bit as grand and pretentious as it sounds, with a host of complicated rules, official and otherwise. While its exact form and frequency varies, it comes down to an opportunity to get drunk on cheap wine while wearing an academic gown, all the while eating a candlelit £8-a-head, three-course meal of variable quality. Last term, I made the mistake of booking my formal ticket before I checked the menu, only to discover that I'd be faced with a dish ominously entitled "aubergine tower". To this day, I still cannot think of anything worse to do to an aubergine than to put it in a tower. It's times like that that, more than ever, make me thankful for the limitless supply of potatoes.

Online and supermarket Christmas spend set to eat away at High Street
Published: 22 November 2013
Updated: 08:26, 22 November 2013
Britons plan to spend 12% more on their Christmas this year than last, with £1 in every £3 to be spent online, according to a survey.
The figures suggest more will be spent online than on the high street, with 25% set to go to online retailers and 9% to eBay or other online auction sites, the study for Santander 123 cashback credit card found.
Shoppers intend to do 33% of their Christmas spending on the high street - 20% in individual shops and 13% in department stores.
But supermarkets are set to be the biggest beneficiaries of festive spending, with consumers planning to spend 29% of their Christmas budget there.
Each adult intends to spend an average of £175 on presents, a 5% increase on their intended spend last year.
They intend to spend an average of £37 each on Christmas dinner and £59 on other festive food and drink - 41% higher than last year.
The study also revealed that 30% of shoppers would physically go in to a store and look at a product before ordering it online, while 27% would look online before buying in a store.
Some 15% will find the lowest price online and use this to negotiate a better price in-store.
Two-thirds (64%) of those who intend to do some of their Christmas shopping online cited convenience as a key reason, 59% said they could find the same items for lower prices and 35% said they shopped online for the variety.
Some 22% said they simply did not like shopping on the high street.
Santander Cards chief executive Alan Mathewson said: "Our findings suggest an increase in consumer confidence over the past 12 months, which is good news for both online retailers and the more traditional high street.
"Shoppers are clearly still looking to get more for their money however, with large numbers of them using a range of techniques such as bartering in-store with prices they have found online, or looking for cashback deals."

MOL (America) Inc. announce intermodal transit on-time performance results for January-March 2013.
MOL's overall intermodal transit on-time performance was 71% for January-March 2013, for the three origin ports in Asia, to the six inland destinations in the United States.
MOL did not perform at or above the 90% target for any of the origin/destination combinations in January-March 2013. However, the result for the PSX to Memphis was 87% and the result for the PCX to Dallas was 86%. Overall performance was impacted by:
• Late arriving vessels. PCX (three vessels at least 20 hours late and one vessel 87 hours late) and PSX (two vessels 40 hours late).
• Chassis shortages, shortened work weeks due to holidays, labor disruptions and increased IPI volume due to labor concerns. These issues were most pronounced around and after the holidays and took a period of time to catch up with the backlog. Overall intermodal transit on-time performance improved in February (88%) and March (81%) versus January (49%).
It should be noted that:
• The PSX met the 90% KPI target in February and was 86% in March after performance was 46% in January.
• Our rail performance, measured independently from vessel performance, was 97% in these PCX lanes.
• Our rail performance, measured independently from vessel performance, was 97% in these PSX lanes.
MOL will continue to work with their rail partners and address specifics of operation with the terminals to improve performance.
MOL say that they also report vessel on-time performance in a separate quarterly report.

Filming a reality show can get ugly if you take yourself too seriously, 'The Real Housewives of New York City' star Alex McCord told PopEater. "The other women are too invested in what the rest of the cast thinks of them," she said. Even the reunion special took seven hours to film because the drama was completely "off the charts" and "out of control," McCord added. ...

Course to include oil and gas moduleBack

NI 51-101 stipulates the yearly filing require- ments for reporting issuers who are involved in oil and gas activities for disclosure of their estimates of reserves and resources. In addi-tion, it also sets out the general disclosure standards for reporting issuers who are report- ing on their oil and gas activities. The dis-closure standards apply to any disclosure made by a reporting issuer throughout the year.
The Compliance and Reporting Rules in the Minerals Industry course is hosted yearly at the University of Pretoria.
"The course will be held from October 7 to 11 at the University of Pretoria's Hatfield campus, in Pretoria, and will discuss mineral resource estimation and mineral asset valuation, among a variety of other topics," Venmyn Deloitte MD Andy Clay tells Engineering News.
The course also includes a new module on the practical application of the recently introduced International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee Interpretation 20, titled Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine.
"This is important, as it sets out principles for the recognition of production surface costs on the balance sheet and income statement. It also recognises the need to preserve mineral asset value to prevent impairment," he says.
Further, Clay explains that the course is beneficial for company directors, analysts,
engineers, geologists, metallurgists, surveyors, journalists and anyone involved in the minerals industry who may be responsible for prep-aring reports in compliance with local and international reporting rules.
He adds that, typically, external delegates registered for the course have been based in South Africa, although they might belong to companies with operations in other jurisdictions.
"Because of this, the course also discusses international mineral resource estimation codes, especially the Canadian NI 43-101 Resource Reporting Code and the Canadian NI 51-101 Oil and Gas Reporting Code," Clay states.
Moreover, he says the course will dis- cuss the Australian, London, Hong Kong and Toronto stock exchanges, as well as the JSE.
Clay adds that this is in line with the fact that many mineral companies find it beneficial to list in jurisdictions that are far removed from where they operate.
Further, the course provides an introduc-tion to mineral resource estimation and valuation and offers an introduction to the technical and financial factors that influence mineral assets.
He says, for this reason, the course is also of value for the University of Pretoria geology honours students, many of whom have never been exposed to the challenges related to compliance and report writing in the minerals sector.
Meanwhile, the Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine module will investigate appropriate strategies for projects that are in the exploration, develop-ment or mining stages.
Clay explains that the module is being offered in response to demand from mineral companies that are considering suitable operational and financing strategies for the current mining environment, in which many companies are finding it difficult to raise capital and cover their fixed costs.
"The registration process for the course has already started and will close two weeks before it starts, as this will allow sufficient time to order the tablets, provided as part of the course, on which course content can be loaded," University of Pretoria continued education programme manager: open programmes Phyllis Boshoff tells Engineering News.
Course Lecturers
Clay notes that most of the lecturers for the course are sourced from Venmyn Deloitte, which was established in November 2012, when Deloitte bought 25-year-old mineral advisory firm Venmyn and incorporated it into Deloitte South Africa's mineral advisory services practice.
The lecturers include Clay, Venmyn Deloitte director Neil McKenna, Venmyn Deloitte executive leads Fiona Harper, Catherine Telfer and Godknows Njowa, mineral project analysts and advisers Gbenga Ojo, Munyar Chirisa, Iaan Myburgh and Gert Kriel, as well as environmental expert Sarah Dyke.
"Law firm Malan Scholes Attorneys attor-ney Lili Nupen will discuss the Royalty Act and the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, while Deloitte will discuss the auditing challenges related to the mining sector," Clay concludes.

Turkish dailies mostly covered in their Thursday issues Turkey's concerns over PKK presence in Syria, Wednesday's "Security Summit" at Turkish Prime Ministry in Ankara and Turkey's suspension decision at its border gates with Syria. The Anadolu Agency does not verify these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
Most of the Turkish dailies published Turkey's further measures against PKK after the terrorists group's Syrian offshoot gained control over the cities along Turkish border. Daily SABAH quoted Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan as saying, "From our point of view, any new organization in the north of Syria means a new terrorist organization for us. If any attack occurs from this region against us, we have a right to intervene. We are not able to accept the cooperation between PKK and its offshoot in Syria."
Turkish dailies also covered the "Security Summit" that was held at Turkish Prime Ministry in Ankara. Dailies mentioned that Turkey's PM Erdogan held a meeting with Chief of General Staff Gen Necdet Ozel and several ministers in the capital city to discuss acts of PKK terrorist organization in the country and neighboring countries. Daily HURRIYET stated that it was the first time the government had highlighted the presence of PKK in Syria using the term of "neighboring countries" referring to Syria along with Iraq.
Lastly, Turkish dailies also focused on their Thursday edition Turkey's suspension decision at its border gates with Syria. Daily ZAMAN quoted Turkish Customs & Trade Minister Hayati Yazici as saying, "Turkey has not closed down border gates with Syria. We have only suspended the procedures at the gates, crossing of Turkish citizens as passenger or with commercial purposes via Turkey's Cilvegozu, Oncupinar and Karkamis border gates to Syria have been suspended."
"Strong and balanced public finance affirmatively differentiates Turkey from other countries," the minister said

Ann S. Michaelsen's curator insight, August 29, 9:22 AM
Education must be personalized – responsive to the real needs of each student. This could mean the abolition of grade levels based on age. When education is personalized, it emphasizes student interests, teaches skills using worthwhile content – and most important – shows kids how to tap into their own innate motivation to learn. It puts the onus of learning on those who have the most at stake in school: students.
Personalized learning requires teachers to become co-learners and release their iron grip on the learning process. It requires districts to trust principals, principals to trust teachers, and teachers to trust students. It requires a great deal of conversation about what real learning is and why it matters.
Charles van der Haegen's curator insight, August 30, 4:54 AM
Education is perhaps one of the most fundamental changes that has to be undertaken...
Let's let it emerge autopoïetically...,This does not mean we should not lead on it...
"One must constantly rest on an acting "avant garde" (vanguard). There's never preliminary consensus with respect to innovation. One doesn't progress on the foundation of average opinion, which is not democratic; but "mediocratic". One progresses on the foundation of creative passion. All and every transformational innovation is first and foremost deviance. It diffuses when becoming a trend before becoming a historic power."

Richmor invests $1.2M for hangar to handle traffic from tech companies
Send this to a friend
Richmor Aviation is building a $1.2 million hangar at the Schenectady County Airport to serve the upstate New York region's growing technology sector.
The 20,000-square-foot hangar will house up to four business jets, and essentially doubles the amount of existing hangar space on the property.
Construction will begin in late spring or early summer, and take three months. The general contractor is Plank Construction of Schenectady.
Richmor is finalizing its loan plans, officials there said.
Richmor, headquartered at the Columbia County Airport in Hudson, has a third operation at Stewart International Airport in Newburgh. In Schenectady, where it employs 100 people, it operates from a 24-acre site on the flight line.
The privately owned Richmor is the "fixed-base operator" for private personal and corporate jets that use those airports, meaning it provides primary support services that range from fueling and aircraft rental, to maintenance and flight instruction.
Mahlon Richards, Richmor's president, said Schenectady is prime for expansion because it's close to so many new and expanding tech ventures.
For example, Richmor is seeing a spike in customers that do business with General Electric and GlobalFoundries, and with companies that are part of the research consortium at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering in Albany.
"So many new technology ventures are within minutes of this airport. It is a convenient location and is perfect for time-critical flights that local technology companies require to visit their national or international affiliates," Richards said.
The Schenectady airport is also home to the Stratton Air National Guard Base and an Armed Forces Reserve Center.

Turning 18 marks a major milestone in the life of any young women, but Jyoti Amge finds herself the subject of some added hoopla today – she is now officially the World's Shortest Living Woman.
Representatives from Guinness World Records traveled to Jyoti's hometown of Nagpur, India, today to acknowledge her entry into adulthood — and her new entry into its world records. Standing at 24.7 inches, she displaced 2-foot-3-inch American Bridgette Jordan as the world record holder.Slideshow: Guinness World Records 2012 (on this page)
"It is wonderful to celebrate my 18th birthday with a new world record; it's like an added birthday present," the pretty brunette with a 10-foot smile said in a statement. "I feel grateful to be this size; after all, if I weren't small and had not achieved these world records, I might never have been able to visit Japan and Europe, and many other wonderful countries."

- How Princess Kate Got Back to Her 'Smiling, Bubbly Self'
- Megyn Kelly: My Kids Don't Know What I Do for a Living
- Renée Zellweger to PEOPLE: 'I'm Glad Folks Think I Look Different'
Small size, big dreams
While Jyoti has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia that has limited her growth — she's grown just a third of an inch since she was hailed the World's Shortest Teenager in 2009, and isn't expected to grow any further — she makes it clear big dreams can come with a small size.
Jyoti plans to pursue her college degree and then seek fame on the big screen in Bollywood film productions. And even though she can look a 2-year-old in the eye, Jyoti is a clotheshorse: She designs her own clothes and jewelry to fit her size.
Jyoti was a vision in a striped sari and necklace at her awards ceremony today, attended by 30 friends and family members. After receiving her plaque and cutting a birthday cake, the 2-foot teen took a moment to brag about her hometown.Slideshow: Guinness World Records 2011 (on this page)
"I have put Nagpur on a world map," she told the Associated Press. "Now everyone will know where it is."
No less prideful was her dad, Kishanji, who noted that birthdays are always a big deal when it comes to his darling daughter. "This year is a special celebration and we expect more visitors than ever to Jyoti's birthday party," he said. "But it has always been this way, she's always been very popular.Story: Accomplishing amazing athletic feats — in their 80s and 90s
"I am sure this year her birthday party will be very colorful and loud, just like Jyoti!"
While Jyoti revels in her diminutive stature, she lives her life like any young girl, hanging out with her sisters and friends. She has attended regular school since age 4, sitting at a desk designed to accommodate her.Slideshow: Guinness World Records 2010 (on this page)
Guiness World Records Adjudicator Rob Molloy adds that seeing Jyoti embrace her size can serve as a lesson for all. "Jyoti encourages us all to look beyond mere size and to just celebrate our differences," he said.

Procurement Reform
The House of Representatives could vote on sweeping changes to how government agencies buy technology products and services as part of a Defense authorization bill now moving through the legislature.
The Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act has been offered as a bipartisan amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2014 (HR 1960) by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), a senior Democrat on the panel and a longtime champion of IT and federal workforce issues. The Rules Committee will decide whether or not to add the amendment to the package, and then members will get a chance to debate and vote on amendments. The whole measure could be voted on in the House on June 14.
FITARA: More than a tweak, less than a revolution
FITARA in context: Procurement reform since Clinger-Cohen
FITARA has had some significant tweaks since it was passed by the Oversight Committee in March. Language that may have muddled the proscribed authority of agency-wide chief information officers to hire IT personnel -- including associate CIOs for bureaus -- has been removed.
A provision designed to eliminate software resellers and integrators from government-wide contract vehicles has been struck from the legislation. Agencies would not have authority to reinvest savings from data center optimization under the revised bill -- that money will be subject to appropriations. And FITARA no longer expresses a preference for open source software, a change that was sought by many in the software industry.
If FITARA does pass as part of the Defense bill, it will be in good company: The Clinger Cohen Act of 1995, which established the position of federal CIO, became law as part of a National Defense Authorization Act.

MORE than half of Bolton's population is overweight or obese, new figures have revealed.
Data released by Public Health England shows 60.1 per cent of adults in Bolton are living with "excess weight" — meaning a Body Mass Index (BMI) of more than 25.
But Bolton does have one of the lowest rates compared to other boroughs in Greater Manchester.
Oldham had the highest rate with 69.6 per cent and Trafford had the lowest with 59.7 per cent.
Bolton health chiefs say the figure is too high and they will continue to tackle the problem.
A Bolton Council spokesman said: "We are pleased Bolton has one of the lowest levels of people who are overweight or obese in Greater Manchester and the North West.
"However, the levels are still too high and we are working hard with our partners to help drive these levels down.
"We aim to offer all Bolton residents the best start in life by establishing healthy eating and physical activity behaviours.
"This includes support for breastfeeding, Happy Healthy Toddler clubs, work with Bolton's early years settings and through the Healthy Schools Programme.
"Also, as a large proportion of the population is overweight or obese we provide effective services tailored for their needs."

By 2020, experts predict about 20,000 people in Bolton will have diabetes. The total is now 17,588.
Childhood obesity rates in Bolton dropped for the first time last year.
Some 20.7 per cent of year six children are now obese compared to 21.2 per cent the previous year.
