• London Retains Lure for Hedge Funds As Banks Demur

LONDON (Reuters) - While banks may be thinking of moving their headquarters from the UK to dodge new regulations, London's status as the centre of Europe's hedge fund industry looks secure.

• Senators Say Cia Program Secrecy Wrong ; Republicans Demur On Probe

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said Sunday that CIA Director Leon E. Panetta told lawmakers last month about the program, developed in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which he said was kept secret under direct orders from Vice President Dick Cheney.

• Warner Pressed On Issue of Illegals ; but Governor Hopefuls Demur

Support among legislators grew yesterday for declaring an emergency in Virginia to stem problems with illegal aliens, while the three gubernatorial candidates said they don't think the state has reached an immigration crisis. Several lawmakers and political hopefuls said Gov. Mark Warner must declare a state of emergency - like the governors of Arizona and New Mexico did last week - to win more federal funds and manpower in the fight to stem the flow of illegal aliens into the state. They also urged the candidates in the Nov. 8 gubernatorial election to take action.

There are drag queens, trannies/she-males, and transvestites," [Josh Kilmer-Purcell] says. "Transvestites are generally straight, and use women's clothing as a fetish. Trannies are generally as demur as she-males are exotic, but under both their wigs they've got some of the same 'trapped in the wrong body' feelings. Drag queens are like rental birthday clowns at gay parties. We're not women trapped in male bodies. We're celebrities trapped in normal people's bodies. "He's a tranny chaser," says Josh.

• History in the Making for Cavs?

Then, in honor of that extraordinary season, Cavaliers coach Mike Brown was named NBA coach of the year, the first time a Cavaliers coach had won that honor since Bill Fitch - the team's first coach - won the honor for the "Miracle in Richfield" team of 1975-76. Some have said that [James]' talk about exorcising the ghosts of Cleveland's doomed sports history - from "the drive" to "the fumble" to Jose Mesa's World Series collapse - is risky business, that it puts too much pressure on him if the team fails to achieve its goal. James seems to demur. I'm at a point in my career where if I'm not competing for the NBA Championship then I'm wasting my time and my teammates' time, so to be in a position in the playoffs and fight for the NBA Championship I'm looking forward to it," James said ...
