• Relocation Remains a Cagey Concept to Master

Westchester County should, according to Greenberg, prove a reliable magnet for Manhattan firms' administration staffs and perhaps for key players, too, as was the case with White Plains moves for Wilson, Elser, Moskowitz, Edelman and Dicker L.L.P. to Gannett Drive and for Alliance Bernstein Mutual Funds to North Lexington Avenue. Formidably, the region possesses education in abundance, a point not lost on Gottlieb, who is organizing a forum to be held at the county executive's office featuring business, government and academic leaders.

• Arbitrability of Whistle-Blower Claim

Charles Schaffran said he was discharged at Alliance Bernstein Investment Research in violation of Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 806(a) because he cooperated in an SEC investigation of the company. Alliance argued that Schaffran resigned. Schaffran commenced National Association of Securities Dealers arbitration proceedings and Alliance responded by filing a declaratory judgment action in court. The 2nd Circuit stated: When parties explicitly incorporate rules that empower an arbitrator to decide issues of arbitrability, incorporation serves as clear and unmistakable evidence of the parties' intent to delegate such issues to an arbitrator.

• Customer Clearing Documentation, Timing of Acceptance for Clearing, and Clearing Member Risk Management

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is adopting rules to implement new statutory provisions enacted by Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. These rules address: The documentation between a customer and a futures commission merchant that clears on behalf of the customer; the timing of acceptance or rejection of trades for clearing by derivatives clearing organizations and clearing members; and the risk management procedures of futures commission merchants, swap dealers, and major swap participants that are clearing members. The rules are designed to increase customer access to clearing, to facilitate the timely processing of trades, and to strengthen risk management at the clearing member level.

• Parents Give College Costs Short Shrift ; 74 Percent in Study Put Money Into Luxury Items Rather Than Savings

Many self-indulgent parents are choosing plasma televisions and cruises over English 101. A study released Monday reveals that 74 percent of parents of college-bound students conceded they could be "saving significantly more for their children's education" if they curtailed luxury spending. The survey from investment company Alliance Bernstein found that 58 percent of the parents spent more on eating out in the past year than they had squirreled away for junior's tuition. Also, 49 percent also spent more on vacations and 38 percent spent more on fancy consumer electronics than they put toward college savings. About 87 percent said they were relying on scholarships or grants, and 58 percent "will hold their children accountable" for at least some of the education costs.
