Lurie, a tax attorney, writes that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit recently had to step in and settle a family squabble among eight of its district court judges who, in nine decisions (one judge wrote two) had split 5-to-4 over the arcane, but critical, issue whether the so-called cash balance pension design was inherently flawed by reason of impermissibly discriminating against older participants." </font></p> <p><font size="2">REAL ESTATE TRENDS: </font></p> <p><a href="http://alm.rsys1.net/servlet/cc6?HtuYQSRUACQSVKIHKLjlkxJhmjlkQklHlLQgPQmkVaVTT" target="_blank"><font size="2"><font color="red">Free With Registration:</font> Lender Default</font></a><br/><font size="2">Wednesday, October 29, 2008<br/>By Meredith J.
