Lawyers for online firms, especially those seeking to reassure potential investors before an IPO, cite such cases as critical precedents. Not all are convinced: one of Wall Street's leading law firms, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, recently warned investment-banking clients to steer clear of online-gaming companies because of concerns about their legality in the U.S. Should the DOJ decide to crack down, the gaming firms, at least, have an exit. PartyGaming's prospectus takes pains to point out that the company has no tangible assets or physical presence in the U.S. Indeed, one reason co-founder Parasol...
...last year, but said she chose not to run for reelection this semester because of disillusionment with the council, which she said was disconnected from students. In the wake of this sudden cancellation of a Wyclef Jean concert funded by the UC, both sets of candidates seem likely to cite their experience on the council as evidence they will manage to avoid such debacles. Only Voith has served on the council since his freshman year, while Gadgil, Haddock, and Riley all joined as sophomores.

These executives cite huge losses and global competition as their rationale, yet they somehow find millions upon millions of dollars to secure their own salaries, bonuses, pensions and perks. The obscene thing is that bankruptcy judges and Congress allow it. When will we all stand together and say, Enough? CAROLINE VIOLA Kailua, Hawaii...
...criticisms are hardly new, but, surprisingly, the two myths perpetuating these weekly disasters still linger: Myth #1: Smart people automatically know how to teach. Most of us have already learned the fallacy of this one the hard way, but the University administration still seems to rely upon it. Many cite the high CUE scores most TFs receive as evidence of their competence, but these people fail to realize that such marks are merely the result of declining expectations of students who have come to accept unacceptable standards for teaching. It is admittedly reasonable at a large, research-oriented university...
