...ShopperTrak's Bill Martin expects a lull over the next few weeks as "a lot of procrastinating kicks in." After all, with an unusually long 32 shopping days between Thanksgiving and "super Saturday" (that's right, the Saturday before Christmas), what's the rush...
...rush for the exits could pose problems for China's economy. According to a recent study by Merrill Lynch, China's investor class - an estimated 150 million people - has sunk 22% of its capital into the stock market, compared with 8% two years ago.

If Richardson...

Polhemus ended the day with two completions and as many interceptions.But it was not the pass rush that started the shellacking. Facing Yale junior tailback Mike McLeod, who was averaging nearly 175 yards on the ground and more than two touchdowns per game coming in, the Crimson defense had to stop the run before Polhemus was forced to the air. And it did just that?...
