      <description><![CDATA[&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Oct. 18--Banking regulators have become the process servers for a sick Washington economy, delivering orders and memorandums commanding financial directors, chief executive officers and other executives to clean up their institutions. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sterling Savings Bank a week ago became the biggest yet served, joining AmericanWest Bank on the list. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sterling's convulsions are particularly sad because of the stakes for Spokane, and the removals of co-founder and Sterling Financial Corp. Chairman Harold Gilkey, and Sterling Bank Chairman Heidi Stanley, who joined the then-2-year-old bank in 1985.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3559971>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Feb. 10--Since PNC Financial Services Group swallowed up troubled  National City Corp. at year-end, it largely has been business as usual for  National City's branch banking customers. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;PNC expects to have deals in place by the beginning of next month for the  61 National City offices in Western Pennsylvania that it is unloading to  settle antitrust concerns. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;And sometime during the latter half of this year, PNC, now the nation's  fifth-largest bank, plans to begin the huge task of converting National City's  customer accounts to PNC's computer systems in a process that is expected to  take until the end of 2010.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3030717>[More...]</a>]]></description>
