Membershi p of the Scottish party has increased by almost 4,000. Mr Blair’s commitment to a Scottish parliament has also helped his popularity. But activists, in particular in the party’s west coast powerbase, warn against moving too far right.One said: “We are realists. At local elections in April the SNP will try to present itself as “real Labour”.In seeking to win a general election in England, Mr Blair could push enough Scottish voters into the arms of the nationalists to allow the Tories to pick up seats, depriving Labour of a majority at Westminster.For now, Labour has its highest opinion poll ratings in Scotland for more than a decade, at 57 per cent.
Leaders of the Scottish party insist that the Blair philosophy of strong communities helping the individual has a natural appeal to Scots. But in Scotland the Scottish National Party, enjoying its most successful electoral period since the mid-1970s, offers a strong, traditional leftist alternative.Privately, nationalists rejoiced when Mr Blair beat John Prescott for the leadership, and recently the SNP has stepped up its attacks on him for abandoning “traditional” policies. If you want to know about Scotland, these are the last places you should go.”Mr Blair’s attempt to win the support of middle-class voters in English constituencies where the next election will be won may involve few risks south of the border. As party strategists point out, disgruntled Labour traditionalists are unlikely to turn in large numbers to the Tories or the Liberal Democrats. He grew up on the east coast and went to one of the country’s grandest fee-paying schools, Fettes College, and the n left for England.
He acknowledged that there was no Scottish equivalent of the individualistic, go-it-alone Essex man and he would never have attempted to do what Tony Blair has done to Clause IV because he would have anticipated the problems reform would cause.”Fundamentally, Mr Blair does not understand Scotland and that is why he believes, erroneously, his policies will be warmly welcomed here. He was a deeply Scottish man who knew that for the majority of Scots – working class and middle class – the state and public provision remain very, very important. Dr James Mitchell, senior lecturer in politics at Strathclyde University, contrasts Mr Blair’s style and approach with that of his predecessor: “John Smith was born in Argyll, wentto a local state school, was educated at Glasgow University and represented a Scottish seat. The recent outcry over state funding for the collapsed Healthcare International private hospital in Clydebank confirmed the strength of Scottish feelings.
Observers say Mr Blair does not understand Scottish politics and society. The country’s history of strong state intervention, especially in housing, education and health, has created a collectivist political culture that has largely survived the Thatcher revolution. Although Mr Blair was born in Edinburgh and rarely misses an opportunity to remind voters north of the border of his Scots pedigree, the Oxfo rd-educated barrister who represents an English constituency and lives in London is the object of Scottish suspicion.

We are confident that our solid capitalization andliquidity positions, combined with the ongoing growth of our wholesale mortgagedivision and the recent expansion of the residential mortgage market, havepositioned us well to navigate through the remainder of 2009 and take advantageof any improvements in our markets.”About Coastal Banking Company Inc.Coastal Banking Company Inc., based in Beaufort, S.C., is the $476.4million-asset bank holding company of CBC National Bank, which operates asLowcountry National Bank in Beaufort, S.C., First National Bank of Nassau Countyin Fernandina Beach, Fla., and The Georgia Bank in Meigs, Ga. Noninterest income in the first quarter of2009 was $2.2 million, double the $1.1 million earned in the fourth quarter of2008 resulting from a significant increase in the gain on sale of mortgageloans. “Despite this possibility, wewill continue to aggressively recognize problem loans and maintain an adequateloan-loss reserve level to cover potential losses based on conservativeassessments of underlying collateral values.”Net interest income before provision for loan losses in the first quarter of2009 totaled $2.4 million, an increase of $0.2 million from $2.2 million earnedduring the final quarter of 2008. Net loans charged off during thequarter ended March 31, 2009 were $2.2 million, a decline of 65 percent from thelevel of net loans charged off in the prior quarter ended Dec 31, 2008. Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $4.3million, down by $0.3 from the fourth quarter of 2008 on lower levels of loancollection related costs.The rise in net interest income reflects an improvement in the company’s netinterest margin, reversing a trend of compression experienced over the priorfour consecutive quarters, and comes despite the downward pressure from theincreased level of nonaccrual loans.Net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, was 2.21 percent, anincrease of 19 basis points over the 2.02 percent recorded during the fourthquarter of 2008.

Other real estate owned at March 31, 2009declined slightly to $5.4 million, compared to $5.8 million at Dec. 31, 2008.”The consecutive quarter decline in charge-offs and other real estate owned, andthe declining rate of increase in nonaccrual loans during the first quarter of2009 are possible indicators that the slump in the real estate and housingmarkets is beginning to bottom out,” said Sanchez. This represents a near doubling ofthe $122.0 million in loans originated for sale in the secondary market duringthe fourth quarter of 2008.”After generating organic growth of more than eight percent in our portfolioloans during 2008, we expanded our efforts to originate residential real estateloans for sale in the secondary market in the first quarter of 2009, nearlydoubling our funding levels from the prior quarter,” said Sanchez. “We feel thatwe can best serve the credit needs of our markets during this current financialcrisis by continuing to emphasize wholesale residential mortgage loanoriginations, especially as we continue to leverage our proceeds from theTreasury Department’s TARP program.”The company increased the allowance for loan losses to $5.6 million at March 31,2009, or 1.83 percent of loans outstanding, from $4.8 million, or 1.59 percentof loans outstanding, at the end of 2008. This portfolio shrinkage was morethan offset by growth in residential real estate loans, which totaled $107.2million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $3.6 million, or 3.5 percent, duringthe first quarter.These loans were funded through the company’s wholesale mortgage bankingdivision, which in the first quarter of 2009 originated approximately $236.0million in loans available for sale in the secondary market, utilizing aconservative, low-risk loan product strategy.

According to statistical data and research analysis fromChinaVenture, over the past decade, China’s VC/PE industry was besieged by coldsnaps and heat waves by turns: In the Internet Bubble Burst era during2000-2003, it languished at an almost complete standstill; Later, with theeconomic boom in 2004-2007, it came, like Lazarus, back to a full life, withboth the investment cases and the amount invested skyrocketing; However, by2008, it has once again cooled down, embarking on a rational development road,as suggested in the contracted investment scale and the reduced investmentcases. The stable economic growth during 2003-2006 created an enabling environment forthe breakneck development of Chinese enterprises, but at the same time, alsoraked in generous rewards for VC/PE investment institutions, pushing up exitactivities of VC/PE funds in 2006-2007 to record highs.

These would make it a criminal offence for someone in a position of authority to have sex with a young person in their care in four cases: youth detention centres, local authority care, nursing care and full-time education.In this, Jack Straw is going too far. As his former Home Office minister, Alun Michael, pointed out last year, it would mean it was lawful for teachers to marry their pupils but not to have sex with them. The Liberal Democrats should be congratulated for standing up for liberal values. The Sexual Offences Bill received its second reading in the House of Commons a week ago. In response to a spasm of anti-gay prejudice against the equal age of consent for homosexual men, the Home Secretary foolishly introduced provisions against the “abuse of trust” in cases where older people have responsibility for 16- or 17-year-olds, whether of the same or the opposite sex. Of course, sex with pupils under the age of 16 is both wrong and a criminal offence, and Mr Woodhead prefaced his controversial words by saying so.
As for sex with pupils aged 16 or 17, he said that adults “have a responsibility to those who are younger than us and therefore it isn’t a good idea at all”. He should have gone further, and said that the presumption must be that it is a sacking offence. But he was quite right to suggest that each case should be judged individually, and that an erring teacher should not be “automatically drummed out of the profession”.In this, and, despite his disclaimer that he had “no problem” with the Government’s Bill to ban sex between teachers and pupils, his explosive comments perform a valuable service by drawing attention to a bad law in the making. If that were all he had meant, of course, he would not be in so much trouble, and the story would not have been on the front page of this newspaper last Saturday. What he meant was that something positive could come out of such relationships, and it was on this that he was forced to go back yesterday. Which was inevitable, because the man in charge of maintaining standards of teaching should not, as a matter of policy, express anything other than prim disapproval of teacher-pupil relationships.
But, though it is for others to say it, what he said remains true.
It can be educative in the sense that both bank and burglar can learn something from a robbery. A SEXUAL relationship between a teacher and a 16- or 17-year-old pupil can indeed be “educative” for all concerned, as Chris Woodhead, the Chief Schools Inspector, said.

Sir: The failure to investigate fully the extent of benefits fraud (“MPs defy Darling over benefit fraud”, 5 February) prompts me to report another instance. My wife received her winter fuel allowance, a cheque for pounds 20, last month, as the only member of our household qualifying; a week later I received pounds 20 on the same terms.
My phone call to the Benefits Agency met with the response that its computer must have failed to detect that we live at the same address (we have been here for 12 years); and that I could keep the money or return it – “some do return it”.PETER HILLTanworth-in-Arden, Warwickshire. By contrast I wonder how many expenses-paid junkets to Los Angeles it took to sign Mr Carsey.SIMON HARDEMANLondon E8.
Last year, at one of London’s highest-profile fringe venues, I organised an evening of new sitcoms Not a single commissioning editor came. In addition, while the US may produce some excellent programmes, it also produces an ocean of dross. It is our fortune that we only see the few shows which float to the top of this vast reservoir of effluent.
Frankly it is scandalous that, instead of being able to trust their own judgement and feed new British writers a few hundred pounds of seed corn money to develop an initial script, ITV companies prefer to let our ideas rot in favour of spending a fortune on patronising, second-hand advice.I could, at the drop of a hat, produce a list of new home-grown writers with original ideas and genuine ability, all of whom have proved themselves in live comedy, radio, or smaller scale TV. Britain has a proud tradition of original comedies driven by one or two writers, some of them even transferring successfully to the home of “guru” Tom Carsey. Until Mr Blunkett addresses this, it scarcely matters whether he offers the kids penny whistles or bagpipes. Electronic keyboards and computers will not, of themselves, make music lessons creative.
MALCOLM ROSSDartington, Devon.
Sir: ITV’s recruitment of a “US sitcom guru” (report, 4 February) is their latest insult to home-grown comedy writers and an implicit admission of the failure of the network’s own commissioning staff. The reason is the Government’s failure to supply enough half-decent music teachers able (and allowed) to engage the latent enthusiasm of their students.

“They need good quality service and I’m talking Alan Hinton, John Robertson-type,” he said. “We lost five players at the end of last season and bought two and the coaching staff said they were short last season as it was.”In a week that saw Dutch football highlight the inadequacies of the British game it is ironic that the first casualty in the shake-up could be Glenn Helder, who was Graham’s last signing. Whether or not it was the indignation of being overtaken in the league by Spurs, but the Arsenal manager, Bruce Rioch, was talking in terms of a major overhaul at Highbury on Saturday after watching his side scramble a point against a Chelsea team whose own rebuilding programme looks well on the way. After all, this week saw the granting of pounds 23m from the Millennium Commission which will be used to transform Hampden Park from its drab state to Scottish football’s field of dreams. Eighty-seven minutes spent deservedly second best until Lee Dixon’s bolt from the blue left Rioch to reflect: “There’s more work that needs to be done here than people imagine.”
The previous incumbent,Rioch said , had spoken of the need to rebuild just prior to his departure and he was not about to disagree.The club may have a tradition for producing their own but if Arsenal are to maintain the level of success they enjoyed under George Graham, Rioch’s transfer involvement is unlikely to stop at the pounds 13m he spent during the summer.Rioch is known to be bitterly dissatisfied with the service – particularly from the flanks – supplied to the front men and his own signing, David Platt, whose goal-scoring potential, he said, was not being properly exploited because of it.

The move paid off within seven minutes as Gallen came deep, fed Trevor Sinclair whose long cross to Hateley earned the header down that Impey gratefully converted.Bolton remain watchable – and bottom. Rangers, scrapping around in midfield and picking up the pieces off Hateley, moved out of the relegation zone.
Ray Wilkins again left himself out and Simon Osborn, who answered Hateley’s prompt with a 20-yard shot for his first Rangers goal, was – to his palpable frustration – substituted midway through the second half. But the acquisition of a Premiership-quality goal-hanger is a pressing need.While Bolton place justifiable faith in the guile and thrust of Sellars and Curcic, QPR eschewed the use of a midfield creator for too long. There was an almost celebratory tone to the Endsleigh expectations of QPR supporters writing in A Kick Up The R’s bemoaning the departure of “Leslie” Ferdinand. After his ring-rusty successor Mark Hateley had, however, set up two goals for a first victory in 10 weeks – the last, not altogether surprisingly, came at Bolton – it was the visitors who were left dusting off their Endsleigh road maps.
Bolton, despite some excellent passing movements, have lost direction on their Premiership travels and are yet to gain so much as a point away from Burnden Park this season.The introduction of two class acts in midfield will bolster their cause, with a typically penetrating run from the Serbian Sasa Curcic setting up Scott Sellars, the erstwhile Newcastle United playmaker, to lash a 20-yard shot in off the post for an equaliser.

“He will make mistake after mistake and keep giving everything he’s got,” Merrington said.”A bit harsh,” Harry Redknapp observed wryly. “But he does make the odd mistake without letting it worry him He has been a tremendous signing for us for pounds 150,000. Bishop, to his credit, was as calm and constructive as anyone, but it was a former Southampton player – albeit of a subtly different style from Le Tissier – who emerged with much of the credit for their late but successful recovery.Even the compliments paid to a player like Iain Dowie tend to be of the back-handed variety. Ian Bishop got the crucial touch, however, steering his header into his own net.After that, it was a matter of whether the Hammers could redress that wrong. He came to see me about it and we’ve taken one source of pressure off him.”Floating between the front line and midfield, Le Tissier showed enough of his inimitable skill to raise hopes that allowing Barry Venison to lead the side out as well as doing most of the shouting will work out well for all concerned.He also had the satisfaction of flighting in the corner that produced a goal, comically against the run of play, that put the Saints ahead midway through the first half. Dave Merrington was as close to anger as he gets over reports before this match that he had taken a sabre to Matthew Le Tissier’s captaincy epaulettes.

The Swiss banks appeared to hold all the important cards: “They had the archives, they had the files.” He now realises how wrong he was.
While the Swiss stonewalled, the WJC made inquiries at the US National Archives in Washington, and stumbled on to evidence of Operation Safe Haven, a collection of secret documents that has profound implications for Swiss banks and many leading German companies. “We were negotiating with the Swiss banks to get access to all dormant Jewish accounts opened before 1938. Their unilateral attempt to close the matter made us believe they were scared of what we might find.”
The WJC condemned the Swiss move, and entered what Mr Steinberg calls “a period of confrontation”. Last February, Elan Steinberg received a surprising call at his New York office. The executive director of the World Jewish Congress heard the Swiss government was about to hand over 774 secret bank accounts that had been opened by Holocaust victims before the Second World War “I was shocked,” he says.
And nobody asks heterosexual couples what they do in bed together. If they practise sodomy it is a private subject.”"You can see that this is hardly some kind of well-financed compaign,” Mr Foley noted. “This is no plot to destroy Western civilisation and bring about some sort of cultural meltdown. These are simply two men who are in love with one another and want to get married.”. “When it is all over people will see that the sky hasn’t fallen, and the earth hasn’t come to an end.” He is especially exasperated that those who oppose gay marriage seem fixated with what homosexuals do in bed “It is not about sex You don’t have to get married to have sex with somebody.
Their printing business – mostly T- shirts – has been struggling recently, and they are moving it to smaller premises. A pair of cockatoos scream for attention from their cage, which stands next to Joe’s prized purple Harley-Davidson, used only for special occasions. Financial prospects might improve with interest in their story coming from Hollywood, and still-vague plans, if all ends well, to open a resort for gay couples coming to Hawaii to tie the knot.”We’re not trying to change society,” the mildly-camp Joe explained. “This is just the state trying to show to the people that they’re trying to do something.” Clearly exhausted by the pressures that the case has brought upon them, Pat and Joe cheer themselves by contemplating their plans. They intend to get married the instant the final ruling in their favour comes down, preferably by the very judge that delivers it. Pat, who is 39, envisages a massive wedding party some time later, with 2,000 guests.To visit the pair at their somewhat scruffy warehouse is to discover an almost comical disjuncture between their very personal and quite touching ambitions for one another and the nigh-satanical image that is conjured of them by their conservative foes. The court gave the state one last chance to prove before a lower court that it has a “compelling interest” to deny gays the right to marry.
That hearing opens in a circuit court here on Tuesday.Most expect the “compelling interest” to concern children, and the dangers that may exist in their being raised by single-sex couples. “All things being equal, the best surroundings for a child is within a family with a father and a mother,” Hawaii’s Attorney General, Margery Bronster, recently asserted The state is widely expected to lose, however. Even if it appeals again to the Hawaii Supreme Court – there is no recourse on matters of this kind to the federal Supreme Court in Washington – Pat and Joe may finally win within the next 18 months.Daniel Foley, who had at first been reluctant to take on the case because he was certain it would fail, is now optimistic “The religious right are my biggest fans,” he said. “Why would all this be going on in statehouses around the country if they weren’t expecting us to prevail?” He believes that victory will mean a civil rights watershed akin to the 1963 Brown vs Board of Education ruling that introduced desegregation in America and Roe vs Wade, which established women’s right to abortion.”We’ve already won,” Joe, 48, insisted in an interview at work last week.
