...Sachs is doing pretty well for a financial services firm these days: its stock is down only 14% over the past year, compared to 29% for the currently embattled industry overall, and it earned $11.6 billion in profits in its most recent fiscal year. So does that mean CEO Lloyd Blankfein deserves the $70 million pay package he received for 2007? Maybe. Or maybe not.

Among several applications, the algorithm has since been used to match students to high schools and helped establish the protocol still used to assign new doctors to hospital...
...some yeggs tunneled into a Lloyd's Bank on the corner of Baker St and the the Marylebone Road in London, helped themselves to the contents of its safe deposit vault and skeddadled with cash and jewelry worth something like 3 million pounds. The robbery preoccupied the front pages of the English press for four days, then abruptly disappeared from the newspapers when the government clamped a "D Notice" on the story - implying that evidence of state secrets was also part of the swag...
