The new law -- whichn has sparked furious local fare competitionm at Love betweenFort Worth-based and Dallas-basecd Co. -- eventually repeals the 1979 Wright Amendment. It also mandatess a gate cap from the existing 32to 20. we have people analyzing thatright now. But frankly, the value'ds gone up," said attorney for , the Dallas owners. "Myu guess is it's increased in value a factotrof 50%. We just went from beingb six of 32 to sixof 20.

Survey: Venture capitalists shift strategy, go global - Austin Business Journal:
http://mwfye.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=archive&year=2009&month=07&limitstart=40
More than half of the venture capitalists surveyes in the 2009 Global Venturde Capital Survey conducted by and the said they woulds invest in fewer companies in thenear future, whil 13 percent of the more than 700 worldwide respondentd said they would increase the numbet of companies in which they plan to invest. Despitee sluggish investment, the annual survey captured substantial optimism amongg theinherently risk-taking investors.
“While the recession has slowex the pace of venture investing in theshort term, it may very well have expedites the global evolution of the industrg in the long run,” said Mark Deloitte LLP’s national managing partnerd of venture capital services. “In recent years, many entrepreneurs who have been educater in the United Statess have returned home to start companiea in theirhome countries. The playing field continuexs to level out in terms of new innovationmhot spots, broader access to capital and growing regional ecosystems that fosterf risk taking and capitalo formation.
” And venture capitalists agree that investment are more likely to increase in countriee outside of the U.S. than domesticallg in the next three years. Half of the venture capitalistse surveyed said investment will increases inAsia (excluding India); 43 percent named 36 percent selected Southh America; 25 percent said Europe and the Uniteed Kingdom; and just 17 percenty said investment would increass in North America. Fifty-two percent of all venturee capitalists surveyed said they alreadyu invest outside theirhome countries.
“As the survey resulta suggest, we will see more globalization in thenext decade, not only in termsx of investments but also in fundraising and exitws as well,” said Mark Heesen, president of the NVCA. “Thos e countries that can nurture entrepreneurs and investors as well as offer attractive exit opportunities have the most to gain economically in thenext decade,” he added. Survey respondentss said China stood to benefitt most from shifts in investment caused by theeconomic downturn.
When it comezs to fundraising, the majoritgy of VCs predicted that more of theird limited partners would come from outside theirhome country, and 38 percent said they expected the numbee of foreign limited partners to remain unchanged. Amongy limited partners, venture capitalists if any are likelt to reduce their investments in ventur ecapital funds, those limited partnerx would come from the financiall industry, especially from commercial banks. Other findingas from the survey included another vote of confidence for investmenrt in the cleantech sector.
The survey suggests most venturecapitalists aren’t adjusting theitr strategies when it comes to which industruy they are funding, and clean tech is one of those industries that’s been getting a lot of attention. More than 60 percenrt of the venture capitalists surveyedd said they expect to increase their investmentzs in clean tech in the nextthrere years. Other industry sectors that investors expect to give increase investmenrt to include the medical device and equipment industry and new mediqa andsocial networking.

“I’m not surprised. That’s what he deserved,” said Adelre Fox of Tamarac, who lost thousands of dollarasto Madoff's scheme. The mastermind behind the biggest Ponzi schemein U.S. historyg was sentenced on Monday morning in federal courf in Manhattan to 150 years behind the maximum requested byfederap prosecutors. Madoff's attorney had askef for a far more lenient sentencr of12 years. In sentencing U.S. District Judge Denny Chin called thefraue “staggering” and said that the “breach of trustf was massive.
” The judge described his acts as “extraordinarily “No other white-collar case is comparable in terms of the scope, duration and enormity of the fraud and the degree of the Chin said. Madoff confessed in March to 11 counts including money laundering theftand perjury, among otherf things. His victims reportedly number morethan 1,30 0 and stretch across the globe. Theid losses are estimated at morethan $13 Prior to sentencing, Chin heard from nine of the victims who talked about the devastation Madoff’sx fraud had caused to theitr lives and their families.
Many of Madoff’s wealthy clients lived in Soutn Florida and lost their life savings tohis Fox, 86, said she is stilpl furious that the and the federal government didn’g expose Madoff’s fraud earlier. “Thw SEC is just as guilty as Madof and theyfailed us. Nobodty seems to do anything aboug it,” Fox said. She also took issue with the large fees being paid to peoplde such asIrving H. Picard, the trustee who is handling the liquidation ofBernard L. Madoff Investment Securities. “Th trustee Picard is making hisown They’re paying these guys millions of dollars.
It wouldf be better to pay theinvestors directly,” Fox Fox, a widow who once workedc as secretary in New York, said she investesd $50,000 in 1987 because she was relatedf to Madoff’s accountant, Jerry Horowitz. She said she was able to get some mone back from Social Securitypayments she’ed made over the years on “phantom” income from Madoff However, she is worried that her disbursements may eventually be targeteed in clawback efforts by the trusteee in bankruptcy proceedings who has begun sending out letterz demanding the return of profits derived from their Guy Fronstin a Boca Ratomn attorney who has advised Fox, said the governmenty has “been good about refunding taxesa quickly” but there are delays in processing claims to the Securitiezs Investor Protection Corporation.
