ALAN S. KAPLINSKY: Well, we're down to the final panel of the day. And I want to thank those of you that have remained behind because I can assure you this is going to be a very stimulating and interesting panel dealing with arbitration.

But we're really delighted to have with us today two people ...

ALAN KAPLINSKY: We're going to the segue rather rapidly into the first panel of the morning, also focused on the CFPB. The CFPB has got many different functions, but the three things that we felt would be of most interest to all of you are what's happening in the regulatory area, what's happening in the enforcement area, and what's happening with respect to supervision. And so the first panel is going to focus on the regulatory area. And we have three ...

BURTON N. LIPSHIE: OK, end of play time. Back to work. You gotta earn those credits. You can't just sit there and get credits. You gotta earn them. You have to listen to this drivel for another hour and a half. OK, so the statute of limitations for breach of contract is six years, unless you're talking about a sale of goods, in which case it's four years.
