A bank account is just another investment
NOTHING is guaranteed in life, so why should bank deposits be? This is the only possible reaction to Chancellor Alistair Darling's unseemly rush to underwrite the risk assumed by savers in the wake of the Northern Rock fiasco. It is perfectly understandable why the new man at the Treasury - and his prime minister - do not relish the spectacle of panicked investors queueing in Britain's high streets. But does that really merit treating a cash deposit radically differently from every other class of investment? .

Lawmakers weigh changes
Gov. Mark Sanford's past business ties to a nonprofit organization that received $100,000 from a governor's conference bank account has lawmakers considering changes to disclosure laws and the state's competitive grants program. While no one has accused Sanford of anything illegal, some state lawmakers question his decision to donate the conference money to Carolinians for Reform Inc. given his ties to the organization. Among the group's directors is a former officer in a business owned by the governor's brother, and two men who ran a political action committee that supported Sanford. "We gave $150,000 for a governor's conference, not a political organization," said state Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell. "There's nothing illegal I know of about it, but it sure is going to raise questions." In August, the governor's office directed a nonprofit organization run out of the Charleston Area Convention Visitors Bureau to cut a check for $101,534.14 to Carolinians for Reform Inc.

Bad taste is lucky for shark victim
WAILUKU ยป California resident Aaron Finley flew to Maui to deliver a CD he produced from a children's book called "How Do You Take a Shark to the Dentist?" On the CD, he voices the role of Mr. Shark. "It's ironic," remarked Maui resident Jane Foley, who wrote the book and song lyrics that go, "Oh, Mr. Shark. He's ever so mean. He'll eat you for breakfast like a jelly bean. Sometimes he'll hide in the nearest cave, swallow you up when you're passing on a wave." That's a fair approximation of what happened Monday as Finley took a leisurely swim off Wailea. "I felt something hit my leg really hard and then turned and saw this big gray thing swimming away and realized I'd just been bit," Finley, 32, said from his hospital bed in Wailuku, where a 6-inch, half-moon-shaped gash on his left calf served as a reminder of the encounter.

Indonesia seeks 59 mln dlrs from Tommy Soeharto
Indonesian state prosecutors said Monday they were seeking 59 million dollars from the son of former dictator Soeharto in stolen assets, damages and interest in a civil suit related to a land scam. The case being brought by the government against Hutomo Mandala Putra Soeharto, known as Tommy, is seen as part of revived efforts to bring the Suharto clan to account, though analysts have expressed scepticism at the likelihood of its success. Tommy is accused of overseeing a land swap when he was president of company Goro Batara Sakti (GBS), with the national logistics agency Bulog, in the 1990s. Bulog received a worthless swamp in return for a prime piece of commercial land that GBS built a hyperstore on. "The plaintiff suffered material losses of 244.2 billion rupiah (26 million dollars) and immaterial damages of 100 milliard rupiah," said state prosecutor Yoseph Suardi Sabda, reading an indictment at the trial, which opened after mediation between the two sides failed.
