Los Angeles Times (California) There's been a touch of Internet controversy today about Beck's somewhat-impromptu show at the Echo tonight, first started by blogger Sketchytown, then picked up by the LA Weekly's West Coast Sound blog. Both blogs raised a flag about a charity cited on the show's promotional material, Educating Children International, which, according to the promo poster, will get the "net proceeds" of the show priced at a cool $35.
Nothing was mentioned about any connections with Scientology, and the website for the ...

Charlotte Business Journal It was a tiny deal in Wall Street terms. In May 2007, Wachovia Bank agreed to make what was essentially a $10 million bet with a small offshore hedge fund.
No big deal; certainly no big impact on Wachovia at the time.
But now, credit markets have nearly frozen. Taxpayers are shelling out $700 billion — with much more expected — to shore up a tottering financial system. Many banks, including Wachovia, have all but failed and disappeared. Venerable Wall Street ...

The Second Chance drug rehab program was pitched to lawmakers and the judiciary as the missing link in a broken system that recycled non-violent drug offenders between jails, prisons and the streets.
The past year, it has struggled through money problems and accusations that it is housing ineligible inmates. On Saturday, faced with a city-delivered Jan. 31 deadline to vacate, Second Chance officials moved the last of its inmates out. But throughout the ...

A place as far removed from Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Scientology’s loopiness as one can possibly get. Armstrong and his third wife Caroline live in a walk-up, one-bedroom apartment ...
