FCPA: Money, Money, Money
I tried. I really tried. I tried not to rant about the Houston Astros during Spring Training, because as they say ‘hope springs eternal’ as all teams are tied at this point in the season (0-0). So when the Astros announced they were considering moving their Triple-A affiliate from Oklahoma City to The Woodlands, a town in the incorporated limits of Houston, I did not write a post which complained that such a move would bring competition to an already existing Triple-A team in Houston, the aforementioned Houston Astros.

FCPA: How to Introduce Change into Your FCPA Compliance Program (Without Blowing It Up)
Thucydides or Herodotus; Herodotus or Thucydides. Which is your favorite? I admit to vacillating between the two.
