	Bill Fitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fitch was a U.S. Marine as a youngster, a fact that Larry Bird credited in his book Drive: The Story of My Life as an important reason for Bird's own strong work ethic.
		As of 2004 Fitch ranked fifth among all NBA coaches in all-time number of victories (with 944) but also ranked second in all-time losses (with 1106) behind Lenny Wilkens.
		From Boston Fitch went on to coach the Rockets where he led a team featuring Hakeem Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson to the 1986 NBA Finals where they were defeated once again by Bird's Celtics, 4 games to 2, for the world championship.

	Fitch Says Terrorism Bill a Mix Blessing for U.S. Insurers
		Fitch Ratings commented that while the passage of a much anticipated terrorism insurance bill is overall a favorable development for the U.S. economy, and benefits the insurance industry, the passage of the bill will likely have a greater impact on industries other than property/casualty insurance, such as real estate and construction.
		Fitch estimates that at an assumed $150 billion of industry-wide commercial premium, the overall industry deductible would be $10.5 billion in the first year, $15 billion in the second year and $22.5 billion in the third year.
		Fitch believes the length of this exposure will vary by insurer and can be anywhere from 31 to 120 days since the 30 day acceptance period begins when the insured receives written notice of the suspension of the exclusion and the new pricing for terrorism coverage.

	Business Wire: Fitch: UK Communications Bill To Trigger Industry Consolidation
		While the Bill, which is only in its draft form and likely to take 18 months to become law, came as little surprise, while the extent of the deregulation announced did, being far wider than anticipated.
		"The UK Communications Bill is set to bring about some major changes to a sector that had suffered under a complex regulatory framework and is likely to act as a catalyst for merger and acquisition activity driven by cross-media ownership and consolidation plays," says Stuart Wheeler, Fitch Ratings.
		However, according to the article by Fitch, while the UK market will undoubtedly provide a number of attractive media assets for the major US operators, their participation in any consolidation moves are from certain due to weakened balance sheets and strategic issues at home that require management focus.
