The Recent Evolution of Pension Funds in the Netherlands: The Trend to Hybrid DB-DC Plans and Beyond
According to the classification in official statistics, Dutch pension plans have mainly preserved their DB character in recent years. The dominant reaction of pension funds to the fall in funding ratios at the beginning of this century has been a switch from final-pay schemes to average-wage schemes. This contrasts sharply with the experience in the United States and the United Kingdom, where the fall in pension funding ratios has accelerated the switch from DB to DC schemes. This paper scrutinizes the recent evolution of Dutch pension plans: how does the evolution of Dutch pension funds diverge from that of Anglo-Saxon pension funds, and how can we explain this divergence? Using an ALM framework, we argue that the current average-wage pension plans may be better viewed as hybrid DB-DC schemes, as indexation of all liabilities has been made solvency-contingent. Because these hybrid plans make use of two steering mechanisms to control solvency risk, Dutch pension funds display a high effectiveness in minimizing the risk of under-funding. The current hybrid schemes reflect a compromise between the various stakeholders. We examine the institutional basis for this compromise, and contrast this with the situation in Anglo-Saxon pension funds, where primarily employers are responsible for absorbing funding deficits, which gives them in turn more grip on pension plan design issues. In addition, we look at the role of unions, the strong preferences within the Dutch society for collective risk-sharing, and the underlying high level of social trust, as explanations for the divergence with the experience in the US and the UK…

For over 20 years, the EU has used development assistance as a lever to advance the cause of human rights. But with the current cooperation framework soon to expire, the future of aid conditionality looks uncertain. EurActiv France reports.
The use of European aid as a lever of influence on human rights issues in the Global South was put under the microscope as part of a public consultation on the future of the Cotonou Agreement. The conclusion of the European stakeholders was unanimous: European aid must remain conditional upon respect for human rights and the rule of law in recipient countries.
Adopted in 2000, the Cotonou Agreement governs the EU's political, economic and development relations with the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP group). Human rights, the rule of law and the principles of democracy form one of the main pillars of this agreement, which both sides commit to upholding.
Cotonou up for review
When negotiations on the future of the Cotonou Agreement officially open in October 2018, the question of the conditionality of European development assistance is sure to be among the more controversial areas of the discussion. The agreement expires in 2020.
EU says SDGs relevant for human rights, despite scepticism
SPECIAL REPORT / The EU says it is very committed to promoting civil liberties and self-determination through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are expected to be adopted globally, in September.
In its response to the public consultation on the post-2020 development cooperation framework, the Commission addressed a number of criticisms raised by NGOs, national parliaments, businesses and think-tanks.
"Respondents have been generally critical on the extent to which the Cotonou mechanisms have contributed to improving human rights, democracy, rule of law and good governance," the Commissions stated.
One common criticism expressed in the consultation was that the political dialogue between the EU and the ACP countries was seen as "too EU-driven, technical and formalistic".
But according to the Commission, it was also widely acknowledged that political dialogue should be strengthened and preserved, as "it has helped raise the profile of certain human rights and controversial issues in the development agenda".
EU divided over 'conditionality' of aid
Belgium has suspended part of its aid programme to Rwanda in response to the country's poor human rights record. The conditionality of aid is a subject of disagreement among European countries. EurActiv France reports.
The political dialogue enabled by Cotonou on the subjects of human rights and democracy were also welcomed by certain contributors, like the French General Secretariat for European Affairs (SGAE). "It is a particularly valuable tool in countries with limited bilateral exchanges with EU member states, and with which Europe has limited opportunities for dialogue (notably Surinam)," the French contribution stated.
Dialogue with Burundi
Since the Cotonou Agreement came into force, the EU has leaned heavily on its political dialogue capacity. Where this has failed to bring the desired results, Europe has invoked article 96, under which countries can be sanctioned and even suspended from the cooperation programme.
The EU has used this article to apply political pressure in response to coups d'état and human rights violations in Fiji (2000 and 2007), Zimbabwe (2002), the Central African Republic (2003), Guinea-Bissau (2004 and 2011), Togo (2004) and Madagascar (2010).
In mid-March, the European Union also announced the official suspension of development assistance for Burundi, which was plunged into crisis when its president, Pierre Nkurunziza, announced his intention to run for an unconstitutional third mandate in April 2015.
"Projects funded by the EU and aimed at guaranteeing the population's access to basic services, without channelling the money through the Burundi government's bank accounts, are being prepared," the European Commissioner for Development said.
With an aid package worth some €430 million for the period 2015-2020, the EU is Burundi's biggest donor.
Respect for human rights
If the EU's cooperation with developing countries is today conditional on the respect of human rights, this has not always been the case.
The concrete connection between aid and the principles of human rights, democracy and the rule of law was first made in 1995, in an amendment to the Lomé Convention.
"This initially met with strong resistance from the ACP group, based on the principles of non-interference and neutrality that had characterised international cooperation until then," a report by the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) stated.
In practice, the EU is the only actor to use the political dimension of the partnership. The ACP group has "only rarely used the political dialogue clause of the CPA on its own initiative", the German Development Institute (DIE) stated.
Future clashes over LGBTI rights
Certain subjects still cause deep divisions between the ACP group – notably its African members – and the European Union. Sexual and minority rights are a particularly incendiary area which have been glossed over in the current Cotonou Agreement.
The proliferation of laws against LGBTI people in certain African countries, and the EU's own strong anti-discrimination position promise a tense series of negotiations over the post-Cotonou aid framework.
Europe reconsiders Uganda aid following anti-gay law
Many EU countries have raised their voices against maintaining development aid for Uganda after the government tightened its repressive legislation against homosexuality despite warnings from the international community, EurActiv France reports.
"Some member states believe [this question] could spell the end for the agreement, or at least pose a significant threat to the success of the post-Cotonou debate," the DIE stated.
In 2000, the European Union and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) signed a 20 year partnership agreement known as the "Cotonou Agreement", with a clause enabling revisions every five years clause.
The three pillars of this partnership are political dialogue, development aid and trade cooperation.
One of these objectives was to guarantee respect for human rights, good governance and the rule of law in the various partner countries.

Today, the New York Court of Appeals elected to adhere to precedent in holding that an insurer is indeed allowed to rely on its policy exclusions when faced with a request for indemnity, even if the insurer was not correct in deciding that it did not have a duty to defend. K2 Investment Group, LLC v. American Guarantee & Liability Ins. Co., — N.Y.3d –, 2014 WL 590662 (N.Y. Feb. 18, 2014) ("K2-II"). The K2-II decision follows reargument of an earlier decision by the Court of Appeals issued on June 13, 2013. 21 N.Y.3d 384, 971 N.Y.S.2d 229 (N.Y. June 11, 2013) ("K2-I").
As background, legal malpractice claims had been brought against American Guarantee & Liability Insurance Company's insured, Jeffrey Daniels. American Guarantee determined that its legal malpractice policy did not cover the claim and, therefore, it did not owe a defense to Daniels, although the court decided otherwise. K2-II at 2. In the underlying malpractice action, the court entered a default judgment against Daniels. Daniels then assigned his rights under the American Guarantee policy to plaintiffs. Plaintiffs, in turn, brought suit against American Guarantee seeking coverage for the judgment entered against Daniels. American Guarantee maintained it had no obligation to provide indemnification for the judgment because "the loss sought was not covered[.]" K2-II at 2. The trial court disagreed with American Guarantee's position, and granted plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment. This determination was affirmed on two appeals, the latest under K2-I, on the basis that "American Guarantee's breach of its duty to defend barred it from relying on policy exclusions." K2-II at 2.
American Guarantee requested a re-hearing of the K2-I decision, which the Court of Appeals granted on September 3, 2013. Upon rehearing, the court agreed with American Guarantee, noting that the court had failed to "take account of a controlling precedent, Servidone Const. Corp. v. Security Ins. Co. of Hartford (64 NY2d 419 [1985])." K2-II at 1-2. As a result, the Court of Appeals vacated its decision in K2-I, and reversed the Appellate Division's order.
The Court of Appeals' decision in K2-II is largely tied to Servidone. At issue in Servidone was whether an insurer that had breached its duty to defend would be barred from raising coverage defenses to a request for indemnification of a subsequent, reasonable settlement. There, the answer was no; the insurer would not be barred from raising potentially applicable coverage defenses. See K2-II at 2-3. In K2-I, the Court of Appeals had held that, "when a liability insurer has breached its duty to defend its insured, the insurer may not later rely on policy exclusions to escape its duty to indemnify the insured for a judgment against him." K2-II at 3 (citations omitted). In reaching today's decision, the Court of Appeals stated that, "[t]he Servidone and K2-I holdings cannot be reconciled." K2-II at 3. The Court of Appeals also: (1) rejected plaintiffs' attempt to distinguish Servidone because it involved a settlement, rather than a judgment as was the case in K2; (2) stated that Lang v. Hanover Ins. Co., in which the Court of Appeals held that, "when an insurer has refused to defend its insured, it may litigate only the validity of the disclaimer," did not apply because "the issue we now face was not presented in Lang," i.e., "we did not consider any defense based on policy exclusions;" (3) pointed to various other jurisdictions that follow the Servidone approach; and (4) invoked the rule of stare decisis, stating that it is "strong enough" to govern this case. K2-II at 3-6 (citations omitted).
The K2-II decision will come as a relief to insurers, as the Court of Appeals potentially was going to blaze a new path for New York insurance law and significantly restrict an insurer's ability to deny coverage under an applicable policy exclusion. The court aptly noted: "When our Court decides a question of insurance law, insurers and insureds alike should ordinarily be entitled to assume that the decision will remain unchanged unless or until the Legislature decides otherwise." K2-II, at 6. However, insurers should be mindful that the rule still exists in New York that, if it does not provide a defense to its insured, it may not relitigate the issues in the underlying action.

Will Obama's Economic Forecast Pan Out?
Read More.
President Barack Obama played economist-in-chief at his news conference today, predicting that 2014 will be "a breakthrough year for America." He cited signs of improvement in housing, job creation and wages. Heck, the president said, there are almost 1 million enrollees in Obamacare now, which will help the economy grow, while also containing health-care costs.
Today's surprisingly strong gross domestic product figure -- it grew in the third quarter by a revised 4.1 percent, the fastest pace in almost two years -- underpins the president's optimism. Even the Federal Reserve seems to concur. This week, it began a long-awaited tapering of bond purchases, citing November's 7 percent unemployment figure, among other improving indicators.
But will the president's forecasting record be any better than that of the Fed, which has been wrong -- a lot -- in the last three years? Economists caution, for example, that GDP growth may slow in the fourth quarter to a 1.5 percent annual rate because third quarter output was pumped up by a lot of business-inventory building. Unemployment, moreover, is declining largely because the labor force is shrinking as the frustrated jobless stop looking for work. And while the housing market is a lot better, sales of existing homes fell 4.3 percent in November, the lowest reading since December 2012.
Perhaps Eric Rosengren, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and the lone dissenter from the Fed's taper plan, got it right. Policy makers, he told Bloomberg News today, should have waited for more evidence of economic strength rather than rely on forecasts that too often have been wrong. "We should be humble about our forecasting capabilities," Rosengren said.
Who's right? I'm taking Obama's side on this one, and not because economic indicators mostly point up. They did in years past, too -- only to sink back down again. Instead, my gut tells me that the economy will gain speed in 2014 because monetary policy and fiscal policy won't be so, well, confoundingly muddled. As of this week, they are about as predictable as they can possibly be, giving consumers and corporate executives the confidence they need to make longer-term decisions.
Fiscal drag, which weighed on growth throughout 2013, will start to ease now that Congress has adopted a budget for the first time in years. Even better, the country avoids another government shutdown for two more years because of the budget deal.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke added to the economic certainty this week when he made it crystal clear that the Fed won't raise interest rates even after unemployment hits the central bank's 6.5 percent threshold, possibly well into 2015. He assured us that Janet Yellen, the nominee to replace him, is on board.
Corporate managers sitting on piles of cash have run out of excuses not to hire and invest more in the new year. And that's why I think Obama's economic prediction will pan out.

We Gather Together
... being unusually sunny for late autumn, we headed off to check it out.
Yes! It IS a great little town.
A kind of English hilly version of Sydney's Glebe.
It's just on the edge of the Cotswolds and a 'transition' town.
I don't know if Australia and the US have these yet, but it's all about locally sourced produce and communal sharing of skills and, to some extent, goods.
From the happy faces and the vibrant vibe, I'd say ...
Finally, a castle
... go to markets more often. Sadly ours don't have the kind of stalls filled to the brim with hats and vests, run by a smartly dressed gent I couldn't help but compliment on his dashing appearance, and who was so very nice to blush for me.
After taking the groceries back and finding out tomorrow was going to be rainy, we hopped in the car to go visit St Fagans National History Museum, from this point on known as Welsh Bokrijk. The main thing ...
Bucketing down in Bristol
... so sitting on the open upper deck wasn't gonna happen. Still, in a 75 minute bus ride we learnt a lot about Bristol - a city of 'firsts' and 'mosts', it would seem.
It's been a flourishing city since the 1400s, though was established well before - major changes were made in 1247 when 'broad quay' was dug out to allow larger boats in.
It had the largest tram network until a major bridge was bombed in ...
Bristol Day 1
... Anyway, today I was going to see him. We soon arrived at a park near their house and we saw 2 very excited boys (he has a brother called Charlie). After a bit of catching up, we arrived at their house and started to unload our baggage.
We started off the weekend we would be spending with them with some good old soccer (or as a lot of people would call it "football"). That was until it was kicked into the ...
In Bristol, Day 2
James and I had a nice walk through Bristol and spent some time in the upscale, pretty neighborhood of Clifton, enjoying the older homes and the views offered from its height. We climbed a tower in a park (forgot the name) to see much of the city below. We also spent several hours at the ...

The epithelial barrier prevents the luminal content from freely entering deep tissues. Disruption of this barrier occurs in inflammatory, infectious, ischemic, and other intestinal diseases and may contribute to the pathogenesis of these diseases. The epithelial barrier is maintained by the continuous layer of epithelial cells and the intercellular junctions, primarily the tight junction, that join them. In active IBD, tight junction dysregulation increases flux between cells while apoptosis-induced cell loss disrupts epithelial continuity. Until now, these two processes (epithelial cell death and tight junction disruption) have been considered to be independent processes. My preliminary data refute this view and show that decreased expression of the tight junction protein, occludin, either by small interfering RNA mediated knockdown in cultured intestinal epithelial cells or by gene knockout in mice, decreases TNF-induced epithelial apoptosis as well as dextran sulfate sodium-induced cell loss and, in vivo, intestinal inflammation. My separate published work shows that occludin internalization is required for cytoskeletally-mediated and TNF-induced barrier loss in vitro and vivo, and that occludin overexpression limits TNF-induced barrier loss and diarrhea. Together, these observations indicate that occludin links tight junction barrier function and epithelial apoptosis. Moreover, the data suggest that occludin internalization may be an adaptive response that promotes epithelial survival in the setting of intestinal inflammation. However, this may have negative consequences, as occludin loss promotes growth and migration of colonic tumors. Thus, occludin internalization and downregulation in inflammatory bowel disease may be maladaptive. On the basis of these observations, I developed the hypothesis that occludin distribution and expression regulate epithelial survival and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease and colitis-associated cancer. To address this hypothesis, three specific aims are proposed: 1). to determine how occludin expression alters intracellular signaling pathways to promote intestinal epithelial apoptosis;2). to define how specific occludin domains and trafficking affect intestinal epithelial apoptosis;and 3). to determine how loss of occludin expression affects colon cancer cell invasion, metastasis, and colitis-associated cancer development. Answering these questions will provide molecular insights into the contributions of occludin and the tight junction to pathogenesis of intestinal diseases, and will ultimately help us to identify novel molecular targets for disease treatment and prevention.
The epithelium lines the inner surface of the intestine and maintains a barrier that prevents the mixing the intestinal contents from the remainder of the body. Disruption of this barrier frequently occurs in intestinal diseases and may participate in pathogenesis. The proposed mechanistic studies will advance our understanding of the contribution of the tight junction protein occludin in epithelial barrier and intestinal disease development, which will improve human health through identification of novel therapeutical approaches.

Smith, the 26-year-old British No 1, is due to meet the former champion and eighth seed Conchita Martinez in the third round today although she finished on crutches after beating Argentina's Mariana Diaz Oliva on Wednesday night.
During the game she heard a loud crack and felt a shooting pain through her left foot. An X-ray revealed nothing although she was still limping in the competitors' room yesterday. "I don't know if I'll be fit," she said. "I'll have to see in the morning." At least there is some hope, but for Cross and Latimer their Wimbledon came to a halt yesterday even if the process was elongated by the on-off nature of the play. The more disappointed of the pair will be Cross, who had suggested she might fight back against Thailand's world No 42 Tamarine Tanasugarn.
Cross, who had match point against Iva Majoli in the third round last year, had a 4-2 lead in the second set, but the promising position was lost quickly when she took to the court for the third time, going down 6-2, 7-5.
It was not hard to see why Cross has found it hard to reach the elite 100. She has talent, but the 24-year-old from Exeter does not have height, an essential element in the modern women's game. At 5ft 4in she is dwarfed by the leviathans at the top who are at least three inches taller.
Not that Tanasugarn exactly towered over Croft, it was only when the tracksuits came off that you began to fear for the home prospects. The Thai girl had shoulders that could have propped a rugby scrum. It was not hard to see who would have the weight and power advantage.
The first point confirmed that as Tanasugarn's thumping drive down the line crashed into Cross's flimsy backhand. "I think I know what's going to happen here," someone said in the crowd, and when the score was 3- 0 within minutes you feared for her. "I don't know why, but I started cold," Cross said. "It was the opposite in my first-round match. There's no pattern."
At that stage the strongest element in her game was the withering stare she had given a lineswoman, but she had managed to break back to trail 3-2 when rain stopped her.
The same happened when she took to the court again. Cross had risked taking lunch and began sluggishly, Tanasugarn took the first set and then overcame her opponent's resurgence after another break.
"There was not much between us," Cross said. "The difference is that I can only play at that level in patches, she sustained it for the whole match. I have to build my level of consistency."
Latimer was not looking to build anything, just keep the damage to the bare minimum when she went 5-0 down to the world No 26, Sabine Appelmans, who halted one of Steffi Graf's comebacks earlier this year. She had begun brightly, going 40-15 up in the first game, but the rain came as blessed relief, not an irksome irritation.
"I wasn't nervous," the 20- year-old from Norwich said, "it was just that I hadn't met someone who hits the ball so clean and so deep. I felt quite good when I got on court, but when we came off my coach told me to take more risks. The way I was playing I wasn't going to get anywhere."
Latimer, who was in her first senior Wimbledon, managed to avoid a whitewash in the first set and then came back strongly at Appelmans after a second interruption, breaking the Belgian once and threatening her opponent's serve again before she succumbed 6-1, 6-4.
"She's 225 places above me so there wasn't any pressure," Latimer said. "Now I know what it takes to get near the top. It's been a good learning experience for me."

Synergy effects of international policy instruments to reduce deforestation: a cross-country panel data analysis
Safeguarding tropical rainforests is one of the most important challenges for the future, particularly to mitigate climate change. The international community has actively sought international policy solutions to curb deforestation in tropical countries. Debt-for-nature swaps and certification of sustainable forest management have been implemented by NGOs. Some states are currently negotiating the implementation of the REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) mechanism, a North-South financial transfer to compensate countries for avoided deforestation. However, little is known about the efficiency of these instruments. We argue that they may have a double effect: an expected direct impact on deforestation linked to the conditionalities of instruments, and an indirect impact due to their feedback effects on macroeconomic variables, affecting in turn the drivers of deforestation. The second effect is often overlooked by policy makers [...].

Judging Homosexuals: A History of Gay Persecution in Quebec and France (Sexuality Studies Series)By: Patrice Corriveau (author), Kathe Roth (translator), Barry D. Adam (foreword_author)Hardback
1 - 2 weeks availability
DescriptionIn 2004, the first same-sex couple married in Quebec. How did homosexuality - an act that had for centuries been defined as criminal and abominable - come to be sanctioned by law? In Judging Homosexuals, Patrice Corriveau finds answers in a comparative analysis of gay persecution in France and Quebec. By tracing over time how various groups - family and clergy, doctors and jurists - tried to manage people who were defined in turn as sinners, as criminals, as inverts, and as citizens deserving of protection, this book shows how the law helped construct the crime.

A+ Exams
The Big BangThe big bang you won't believe will change and I can tell that this was just for me and there was nothing for me there and there was just at the moment that I can tell you that they have passed their A+ exams and yes there was not a moment when you could exactly and I can tell you that there was test-inside.com who came here and there was nothing in this life and I can show that this was just test-inside.com who was the real reason that I passed my A+ exams in the end.
Family JewelsFamily jewels have brought up a change that they can't bring and I can tell you that there was some ghost that they all could not know the new result and don't know anymore and won't you see this as the one thing that couldn't be there for what I have done and I have gotten my b grade in my A+ exams and yes I have done this and there will be the best thing that has happened to me and I have done with this in test-inside.com and it was almost what I got wrong.
Bob And Strange LifeBob and his strange life are not quite relevant but I still want to tell his weird story that weird guy who came in my life at the most hardest moment and just gave me a hint and then gave me one of the best tools that I could solve my problem with he told me to try out that test-inside.com for my A+ exams and I didn't know how he knew about it but yeah I tried it and yes Bob my friend gave me the pass in A+ exams and surely test-inside.com also takes credit.
Lovers And SonsLovers and sons of the little ones who are thought to be the ones that couldn't even tell me the ones part of our little charade were the little ones who couldn't tell me if there was just the community but I miss it so much and I couldn't even wait and test-inside.com I am so sad that you won't be my love anymore as I have passed my A+ exams with you but now therewon't be any exam and I will be left alone my friends so I guess you should be friends with it.
Catch Of The DayCatch of the day and there won't be the ones that there will be there to tell me so we won't get into any of this what we didn't want to do but know that I have passed my A+ exams and this was just the one best stuff that had happened to me and that was to study from test-inside.com for my A+ exams and this was just the savior for me and I knew that I got my pass just in the end because of this sudden change in my study plans.

Yesterday I began an exploration of a recent article in the Corporate Board magazine, entitled "Successful Board Investigations" by David Bayless and Tammy Albarrán, partners in the law firm of Covington & Burling LLP. In Part I, I reviewed the authors' five key objectives, which they believe a board must pursue to ensure a successful investigation. Today, I will look at the authors' seven considerations to facilitate a successful board investigation.
1. Consider whether you need independent outside counsel
The authors consider that the appearance of partiality "undermines the objectivity and credibility of an investigation." That means you should not use your regular counsel. The authors cite to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) analysis of how independent board members truly are to explain the need for independent counsel. They state, "the SEC considers the following criteria when determining whether (and how much) to credit self-policing, self-reporting, remediation and cooperation" which will consist of the following factors:
As Andre Agassi might say, 'perception is reality'.
2. Consider hiring an experienced "investigator" to lead the internal investigation
Noted internal investigation expert Jim McGrath has written and spoken about the need to utilize specialized counsel in any serious investigation. If a board is leading an investigation, I would submit by definition it is serious. The authors say that your investigation needs to lead by a lawyer with significant experience in conducting internal investigations; a strong background in criminal or SEC enforcement; and has substantive experience in the particular area of law at issue. The traits are needed so that your designated counsel will think like an investigator, not like an in-house lawyer or civil litigator.
3. Consider the need to retain outside experts
In any Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) or other anti-corruption investigation, there will be the need for a wider variety of subject matter experts (SME's) than a compliance professional. The authors correctly recognize that " if there are accounting issues, forensic accountants might be needed. In this day and age, an electronic discovery consultant is often required, and can be a cost effective option for gathering and processing electronic data for review." These types of investigations will most probably be cross-border as well and this will require other varieties of expertise. The authors caution that, "The lowest bid may not necessarily be the best for a particular investigation. While cost is important, understand the limitations of each consultant and, with input from your investigator, determine which consultant best meets your goals."
4. Analyze potential conflicts of interest at the outside and during the investigation
The authors see two types of conflicts of interest that may come to light during an investigation. First is the one which comes up when the law firm or lawyers conducting the investigation are those whose prior legal advice has some bearing on the matters being investigated because a company's regular outside lawyers represent the company. During an internal investigation, however, the lawyers may be hired by, and represent, the board or its committee. The second occurs when a lawyer or law firm jointly represents the board and employees at the company as regulators have become increasingly concerned with joint representations. Moreover, "The trickier question is what to do when there simply is a risk that representing one client could limit the lawyers' duties to the other." So in these situations, joint representation may not be appropriate.
5. Carefully evaluate Whistleblower allegations
With the advent of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and Dodd-Frank, whistleblowers have become more important and taking their allegations seriously is paramount. This does not mean trying to find out who the whistleblowers might be to punish or stifle them, even if they are located outside the United States and therefore do not have protections under these laws. They can still get hefty bounties. The authors recognize that companies can come to grief when "companies run into problems when whistleblower allegations are discounted, if not outright dismissed, especially if the whistleblower has a history of causing trouble or is perceived as incompetent. When this type of whistleblower makes a claim, it is easy to presume ulterior motives." While such motives might exist, it does not matter one iota when it comes to the investigation, as "Regulators are very wary of boards that do not satisfactorily evaluate a whistleblower's complaint based on a perception of the whistleblower himself, as opposed to the substance of the complaint."
6. Request regular updates from outside counsel, without limiting the investigation
These types of investigations are long and very costly. They can easily spin out of cost control. But, by trying to manage these costs, a board might be perceived as placing improper limits on the investigation. The "goal is to strike the right balance between the cost of the investigation and its thoroughness and credibility." To do so, the authors advise that flexibility is an important ingredient. A board can begin the project with an agreed upon initial scope of work and then "revisit the scope of work as the investigation progresses. If conduct is discovered that legitimately calls for expanding the scope of the investigation, then the board can revisit the issue at that point. Put another way, the scope of what to investigate is not a static, one-time decision. It can, and usually does, evolve." By seeking regular updates and questioning counsel on what they are doing and why, directors can manage costs, while at the same time ensuring that the investigation is sufficiently thorough and credible.
7. Consider whether an oral report at the conclusion of the investigation is sufficient
While there may be instances in which, due to complexity and the nature of allegations involved, a written report is necessary, the authors believe that there may be times when an oral report delivered to a board is better than a written report for "a written report may be easier to follow and appear to be the logical conclusion to an investigation, it is an expensive and time-consuming endeavor, and it comes with great risk." The authors indicate three reasons for this position.
First, it is much easier to inadvertently waive the attorney-client privilege if a written report is created and in the wrong hands, such a written report may well create "a road map to a plaintiff" in any shareholder action. Second, once those findings and conclusions are written they may become "set in stone. If later information comes to light that impacts the report's conclusions, altering the conclusions may undermine the credibility of the entire investigation. So, retaining flexibility to change the findings if further information is later learned is a real advantage of an oral report." Third, and finally, "it takes time to prepare a well-written and thorough report. When an internal investigation must be conducted quickly, spending time to prepare a written report may not be an efficient use of time." For all of these reasons, and perhaps others, an oral report presented to the board and documented in the Board of Director meeting minutes may be sufficient.
The authors conclude their piece by stating, "By keeping in mind the issues addressed above, the board will be better prepared for the investigation and readily able to exercise good judgment throughout the review. A well-conducted investigation by the board may spare the company further disruption and costs associated with follow-on investigations by the regulators, or at the very least minimize the company's exposure." I would only add that by following some of the prescriptions set out by Bayless and Albarrán your Board might also avoid the fate that befell Lord Carnarvon and the Curse of the Mummy's Tomb.

Freisa thrives on the marly-chalk soils in the hills of Piemonte in northern Italy. The grape has medium levels of acidity and abundant tannin, giving Freisa good aging potential. Other varieties such as Barbera and Nebbiolo replaced Freisa after the Phylloxera crisis in the late 19th century because they were easier to work with. Barbera and Nebbiolo have since become famous for producing some of Italy's finest reds.

Born December 5, 1950, Richard (Ric) Howard Tritsch, 65, passed away and entered his heavenly home on June 20 after a short battle with cancer and many years of the effects of multiple strokes. He is the son of Clyde and Babs Tritsch, deceased. He has a sister Pamela Kovac and several cousins who reside in the Pittsburg area.
He graduated high school in the Butler, Pennsylvania, and served in the Army and National Guard. In his younger years Ric was a radio disc jockey in the Pittsburg area, and an avid collector of rock and roll oldies music and classic movies; an antique sports car collector; photographer and local businessman.
After moving to High Springs he relocated and restored the old railroad depot and ran a coffee shop and museum in the building. Ric served as president of the High Springs Chamber of Commerce and was responsible for establishing the first High Springs nighttime Christmas parade. He was a supporter of the High Springs Museum and donated a real train caboose to Camp Kulaqua.
Rick had many community friends and was a loyal member of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church. He was especially loved by the youth at his church. For a number of years on weekday afternoons he would open to visitors the historic chapel at St. Bartholomew's. This was his way of sharing the Lord with others. "Blessed Assurance" was his favorite hymn and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" was his favorite song. He never stopped giving and was always generous with the less fortunate. Several times Ric traveled to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to help the cleanup efforts after hurricane Katrina.
A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 23 at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church located next to High Springs City Hall. The Reverend Canon Lance Horne will officiate. A reception will follow in the parish hall.Add a comment Add a comment

Brad Richards: The New York Rangers Best Center Since the 90's
After 30 games into his first season as a New York Ranger, Brad Richards has done everything the New York Rangers expected him to do when he signed as a free agent in July.
With 12 goals and 26 points, Richards is second on the Rangers in both categories. He is tied for the team lead in assists with 14.
In addition to the numbers, Richards has intangibles that enhance his presence. He has the ability to be the quarterback on the power play, he has been the team's most consistent center in the faceoff circle (despite the last two games) and has been tremendously clutch.
Richards' performance through a third of the season makes me believe that he is the best center the Rangers have had since Mark Messier and Wayne Gretzky were Rangers in the late-1990s. In their Rangers' careers, Messier and Gretzky averaged a little bit above a point per game, and were unquestionably terrific leaders in the locker room.
Richards has that quality about him as well.
Prior to arriving in New York, he won a Stanley Cup, a Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP and had experience playing for John Tortorella. These are a few of the reasons that Richards was given an "A" prior to the start of the season.
On the ice, Richards has done what other high-priced centers the Rangers have had since the late 1990s (Eric Lindros, Bobby Holik, Scott Gomez, Chris Drury) haven't been able to do.
Richards has put up goals and points, and they haven't been the fifth goal in 5-1 wins.
Out of Richards' 12 goals, four of them have been game winners—including his miracle backhander with 0.1 seconds remaining against the Coyotes on Saturday night. When the chips are down, it has been Richards who has swung the momentum of a game, given the team the lead or put the game on the ice.
And the best is yet to come.
