An investment bank in Estonia, Lohmus Haavel & Viisemann, and a former worker agreed to pay $15 million to settle Securities and Exchange Commission allegations that they had made illegal trades based on information from stolen news releases. The former employee, Oliver Peek, will forfeit $13 million in profit and will pay a $1.35 million fine. The bank will pay a $650,000 penalty, the S.E.C. said. They neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing in agreeing to the sanctions. The S.E.C.’s lawsuit accused Lohmus Haavel, which is based in Tallinn, of using a computer program to retrieve information on more than 200 United States companies from Business Wire’s secure Web site before announcements were made public from January to November 2005.

This year’s federal budget deficit probably will be about $200 billion, $44 billion less than the Bush administration first forecast, said the White House budget director, Rob Portman. In a briefing on budget negotiations with Congress, Mr. Portman attributed the lower number to a growing economy that is bringing in higher tax revenue combined with efforts to hold down government spending. “There’s no magic to it,” he said. “The point is the deficit is going down, and it has been going down.”.

The Yankees will not start Roger Clemens on Monday in Chicago, after all. Clemens hurt his groin during his last minor league start for Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday and has been unable to shake the discomfort. He will miss the Chicago series and perhaps be lost for two more weeks. Kei Igawa, who has been in the minors for about a month as he revamps his delivery, is expected to start on Monday against the White Sox.
