SHORT SELLING must be permanently banned! AGAIN! as it was from 1936 till 2007: Babcock is among Australia's biggest losers from the global rout in markets this year as investors shun indebted companies with complex corporate structures.

Ike obliterated most homes, but spared one on Church Street (By MAGGIE GALESHOUSE Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle Sept. 26, 2008, 11:59PM ):

"Pam and Warren Adams, who built the place in 2005 after Hurricane Rita destroyed their older home on the same lot. ....On Friday, the first day many residents were allowed back on the peninsula, the couple returned to Church Street, ready to help neighbors whose homes no longer stood with theirs.........even though her home is uninhabitable, its main floor
covered with mud brought in by the storm surge."
