...Japan now realizes the mistake it made back then: failing to act with speed and force. Loose accounting standards had allowed banks to hold soured assets on their books without writing them down to their true market value. This permitted financial institutions that were technically bankrupt to delay taking in fresh capital - a move that would have hurt existing shareholders but would have restored banks to health. The government dawdled for more than half a decade, allowing banks to carry on in a diminished capacity despite the fact that with key lending institutions crippled, the broader economy could not thrive...
...brain draws between races and traits. Previously administered only in the lab but now available online (at implicit.harvard.edu) the IAT asks people to pair pictures of white or black faces with positive words like joy, love, peace and happy or negative ones like agony, evil, hurt and failure.

It's especially important for the Storm because it lacks wi-fi connectivity, a feature that had been inaccurately rumored in the blogosphere but which is absent from the final device. (Both the iPhone and the G1 are wi-fi enabled.) Given that Verizon's nationwide 3G network is much more extensive than what's offered by rivals AT&T and T-Mobile (carriers...
...touch the pigskin in an actual game so far this season. While he may have some game-time experience, his production has been limited, hauling in two catches for a mere 34 yards. At six-foot-two and 195 pounds, Richards is a perfect blend of size and speed. With his physical attributes, he brings an intangible innate talent many other wide receivers lack. “Levi [Richards] adds a speed element to our offense,” Pizzotti said, also crediting the sophomore’s ability to go after the deep ball, catch the ball in traffic...
