2008-06-08 22:06:00 Fri Jun 6, 2:44 AM ET (Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating whether American International Group Inc (AIG.N) overstated the value of contracts linked to subprime mortgages, the Wall Street Journal said on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. The way AIG valued credit default swaps, including those backed by subprime mortgages, is at issue, the newspaper said. Prosecutors from the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn, New York have asked for information the SEC is gathering, which could signal a criminal investigation, the newspaper said.

LALA.COM’S PAY-PER-STREAM PROGRAM FACES TOUGH COMPETITION
2008-05-27 21:59:00 Lala.com has a history of coming up with innovative ideas that don't quite conquer the world. The company is best known for its online used-CD trading service, which is an interesting idea but works well only if you have a large list of CDs available to trade. Lala.com will let you stream any song once at no charge, and an unlimited number of times for $0.10 per song. (Credit: Lala.com) It also offers a music "locker" service that allows you to upload your music then listen to it from any computer with an Internet connection...but it only works with MP3 files, so you're out of luck if you've been using (for example) iTunes to rip your CDs to AAC for the last four years. The site was also early to experiment with offering free streaming files, but has apparently shuttered that service because the numbers didn't work out. Now the company's beta-testing another streaming service that lets you select any song to stream once. Then, if you want to stream it again, you can pay a o...

Mets say they aren't flaunting Santana in the faces of Yanks
2008-05-15 14:18:00 Here are the options for the Mets, when it comes to the immediate future of Johan Santana, franchise pitcher: Option A: Keep him in rhythm on five days' rest, starting him Thursday in 70-degree weather against a division opponent and then have him ready to go again in six days. Option B: Pitch Santana out of his normal rotation in wet, 50-degree weather tomorrow night against a team from another league, losing an extra day for his next start, and the start after that, and the one after that. This isn't Sophie's choice. You would think there really isn't much of a decision at all, that Option A is the only option. Except that the opponents today at Shea are the softball girls from Washington, while the game tomorrow night is against the Yankees. And you have to think that the Mets - despite their great protestations to the contrary - are sticking it to the Steinbrenners, with a lefthanded changeup to the noggin. There is nothing wrong with such antics. It's only fair to flaunt S...
