A bleak assessment of the current state of the Scottish economy has coincided with the demise of another High Street name. JJB Sports is going into administration. Up to half of its thirty-three Scottish stores could close. It came as Vince Cable announced the UK Government is putting one billion pounds into a bank designed to boost business. People living in some of Scotland's most deprived areas have a "fatalistic" attitude to health problems such as heart disease - and are almost resigned to an early death. In other news, four human skeletons have been found in the back garden of a house in Edinburgh. The bones, which are thought to be almost two hundred years old, were discovered by builders renovating the Haymarket property last Friday. And finally in sport, Hearts manager John McGlynn has dismissed reports that Rudi Skacel is to return to Tynecastle for a third time and is warning fans not to raise their hopes.
