Computer glitches hampering TD Bank

Computer problems have been causing headaches this week for customers of the financial institution that calls itself "America's Most Convenient Bank."

TD Bank officials say there have been delays in getting transactions to show up in the customers' accounts.

Customers have overwhelmed the phone lines at the bank's call center, filled branch lobbies and aired their gripes on Twitter.

Timing compounded the lingering problem. With the first of the month followed by a Friday, Social Security, many pension payments and paychecks were to be deposited. And many mortgage payments were to be withdrawn.

Fred Graziano, an executive vice president who oversees retail banking for TD, said the deposits and payments have been going through correctly. But people could not see that they were by logging onto the bank's Web site.

Blackstone closing in on theme-park deal

Sea World in San Diego, the fourth-most popular theme park in California, may soon have a new owner.

Reports surfaced Friday that private equity company Blackstone Group is closing in on a deal to buy 10 theme parks owned and operated by Anheuser-Busch InBev.

Busch Entertainment Corp.'s largest parks include Sea World attractions in San Diego, Orlando, Fla. and San Antonio, and Busch Gardens parks in Tampa, Fla., and Williamsburg, Va.

The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Blackstone Group is in the process of acquiring the theme parks for between $2.5 billion and $3 billion. Officials with Anheuser- Busch, Sea World and Blacksone declined to comment on the reported deal.

Perfect Landing will ask for end to lease

Perfect Landing Restaurant is apparently making its final approach.

The restaurant, which is at the North Las Vegas Airport, closed July 6, and the Clark County Department of Aviation will ask county commissioners on Tuesday to terminate its lease and operating agreement.

The restaurant, which is owned by Steven Lucas, has failed to pay any business fees to the county since January, county documents show. The department sent Perfect Landing a past-due notice on April 23, a default notice on July 28 and a notice of termination on Sept. 4.

Under a July 1 agreement with the county, the restaurant was supposed to pay 5 percent of its gross revenues each month with a monthly minimum guarantee of $800. The agreement was updated in November to give the county 25 percent of the restaurant's net earnings from slot machine revenues. The restaurant never added any slot machines, though.
