...telling a bank from a stockbroker was becoming more and more difficult - a one-stop regulatory authority, parliament concluded, appeared best suited to serving the industry. (For companies operating in the U.S. and much of Europe, no such single body exists.) The fsa's remit: working with firms to pinpoint potential risks long before things go wrong, rather than simply prescribing rules. While the U.K. watchdog listens, suggest industry representatives, U.S. regulators prefer to bark. The U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a 2002 response to the accounting scandals that toppled Enron and WorldCom, was intended to stiffen standards of corporate governance...

Early reports that the wreckage and a dozen survivors had been found in the remote mountains of Sulawesi-reports picked up by aviation officials and the airline itself-later proved to be based on nothing but local rumor. The last coordinates of the plane...
...team’s wins, including his own, as sub-standard performances. “The team as a whole, even the guys who were winning, didn’t necessarily look that great,” Meltzer said. “We can’t pinpoint the guys who gave up those falls. As a team, we take responsibility for each and every one of us.” Harvard faced challenges unique to dual meets for the first time all season. Dual-meet rules permit only one hour between weigh-in and competition. In larger tournaments, competitors...
