...more convincing still needs to be done. Financial stocks plunged on news of the bailouts, and Datastream's index of European bank stocks has now fallen by 45% in a year. Even shares of some of the biggest and seemingly most solid financial institutions such as Royal Bank of Scotland have been mauled. Some depositors have taken fright, too. A day after the U.K. Treasury announced the nationalization of Bradford & Bingley and the sale of its branches to Spain's Banco Santander, Kusum Patel, a 50-year-old chef from Ilford, a gritty commuter suburb 9 miles (14.5 km) northeast...
...only thing cooler than that would be to have a bulletproof hard drive that is unfazed by any drop. And that pretty much describes the drive on the model I've been testing (which comes out in October): the 2530p is outfitted with a spiffy new "solid-state" drive (SSD) that costs $650 more than the old-fashioned spinning hard drives used by our forefathers (making this model likely to cost about $2,500). With no moving parts, SSDs boot up and respond quicker, run quieter and give off less heat, all of which improves battery power. Indeed, this laptop...
DIED Dick Lynch, former defensive back and longtime radio announcer for the New York Giants, led the NFL in interceptions in 1961 and '63.

He played in 97 regular-season games and scored seven career touchdowns. Lynch...

While Connolly has shined in goal, logging ten saves in the last contest against the Bears, he cannot stifle the opposition himself. The potent Brown offense relies heavily on sophomore Gordon Hood, who haunted the Crimson with a hat trick...
...clutch performance to beat the University of New Hampshire, 3-2. “We wanted to be tough heading into this game,” sophomore Mikaelle Cormie said. “New Hampshire ran offense inside-out so we worked hard to set a strong solid block and our block allowed us to play really good defense. "Our strong block is really disturbing to their hitters and took them out of their game and helped push the energy in our favor.” The first frame was a hard fought battle between the Crimson...
