Water on planet Mars. Life also?
A former director of the failed white goods firm Kleenmaid has been sentenced to seven years in jail for fraud and insolvent trading.
"Westpac suffered a direct loss and innocent creditors were collateral damage as a result of propping up a sinking ship," he said.
THE grief-stricken parents of Thomas Kelly say NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell must act on alcohol-fuelled violence following the "shocking and lenient" sentence given to his killer.
Kieran Loveridge was sentenced in the NSW Supreme Court today to serve four years in jail for Mr Kelly's manslaughter in July 2012.
Speaking outside the Supreme Court in Sydney, Mr Kelly's father, Ralph Kelly, said the sentence had left his family "cold, shocked and just beyond disbelief".

Deutsche Bank paid $6bn to a hedge fund client by mistake in a “fat finger” trade on its foreign exchange desk this summer that raises fresh questions about its operational controls and risk management.
Germany’s biggest bank recovered the money from the US hedge fund the next day. But the incident in its London-based forex team was an embarrassing blow to the bank, which is already under intense scrutiny from regulators.
Oops..
And here's Zerohedge take on it.

It is scary to think what this slip up actually means in terms of their systems and controls (or there lack of!).
Processed meats no good for you. Includes ham, bacon. Quite strong statements from WHO. Even normal red meat looks to be not great for health. Will kill some industries.

Multiple terrorist acts in Paris at moment. At least 40 dead. Hostages taken at concert hall.
A man who was inside the theatre when the gunmen entered told a French radio station that the men shouted 'Allah Akbar' as they opened fire.
He added: 'The men came in and started shooting. Everyone fell to the ground. It was hell. I took my mum, and we hid. Someone near us said they have gone, so we ran out.
'I was only thinking of escaping. We're out now. I think people are still inside. It's a nightmare - a nightmare.'
They also shouted, 'this is for Syria', another witness inside the theatre claimed.
