Forum attendees included executives from PNC Financial Services Group Inc., JetBlue Airways Corp., Campbell Soup Co., GlaxoSmithKline
Plc, International Business Machines Corp., American Express Co. and Marriott International Inc.
The gathering is the latest effort by Obama to reach out to corporate executives. With the U.S. still emerging from the worst recession since
the 1930s and his health-care plan signed into law, Obama is turning more of his focus to the economy.

March 31 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. commodities regulator approved rules to protect bank client assets that support cleared over-the-counter
derivatives trades, giving a boost to CME Group Inc., the world's largest futures market.
The rules passed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission mean banks will have to segregate the cash and other collateral investors
pledge as margin to back credit-default or interest-rate swaps that are processed by a clearinghouse. That system has been in place for
futures trades and assured that investors who used Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. as their futures broker recovered their money after the
firm went bankrupt in September 2008.
CME Group has offered to guarantee credit-default swaps with its clearinghouse since last year. Its hedge fund and asset manager clients
have pushed for protections of their collateral similar to what they receive in futures trading. CME Group had processed $189.5 million worth
of credit swaps as of March 16. Competitor Intercontinental Exchange Inc., owner of the world's largest credit-swap clearinghouse, has
guaranteed more than $6.4 trillion of the trades since last March.
Clearinghouses are capitalized by their members in a structure meant to ensure that trading parties are made whole if any member defaults.
They collect margins on outstanding trades each day to keep accounts current and give regulators access to information on market
positions.

March 31 (Bloomberg) -- International Business Machines Corp., the world's biggest computer-services provider, will help some startup
software companies develop their technology as it seeks to identify potential partners or acquisition targets.
Chosen startups will have access to IBM's software and research laboratories, the Armonk, New York-based company said today in a
statement. IBM introduced the program at a forum in Bangalore, India.
To qualify, companies must be closely held, less than three years old and make software that could be part of IBM's Smarter Planet
program, which maintains that anything can be digitally monitored to be made more efficient. The requirements fit into IBM's mergers and
acquisition strategy, said Jim Corgel, who heads the company's developer relations.
"When the time is right, they might become part of IBM," Corgel said. The company has bought about 75 of the 1,500 startups it has worked
with, he said.
Since becoming IBM's chief executive officer eight years ago, Sam Palmisano has spent more than $20 billion on 100 acquisitions, most of
them software companies valued at less than $1 billion.
Even if the startups aren't acquired by IBM, they may become a partner of the company, said Steve White, who heads software partnerships
for research firm IDC in Toronto.
"This is a way to pick up some new evolving partners, potentially the big partners of the future," White said.
IBM fell 52 cents to $128.25 at 4 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares have dropped 2 percent this year.

March 31 (Bloomberg) -- Galleon Group LLC founder Raj Rajaratnam, who faces criminal insider-trading charges, asked a judge to keep
confidential wiretap applications that prosecutors say may be disclosed to the public.
Rajaratnam today filed court papers opposing the government's earlier request for a court procedure that will address "the public's right to
access wiretap applications," which investigators probing him had confidentially submitted to a judge. Rajaratnam says "no such right exists"
and that the applications should remain secret until a judge decides whether the wiretaps may be used at his trial.
Defense attorney John Dowd says Rajaratnam's right to try to exclude the wiretaps from his trial "would be irreversibly compromised if the
government were permitted to publicize the same evidence in public filings" before a judge rules.
The government's insider-trading case is based on testimony from cooperating witnesses and wiretaps of Rajaratnam and others.
