...customers - rich investors, university endowments and pensions funds that make up the bulk of hedge funds' clientele - rush to withdraw their investments. Some analysts predict that a quarter of all hedge funds could fold by the end of the year. Stephen Brown, an economist at New York University's Stern School of Business, says the final toll could be much higher. "I'd say 50% of funds will close," he says.

Daniel Craig plays Bond now, and his turn in Casino Royale in 2006 hit the reset button on the franchise.

San Antonio - needed to roll vehicles onto and off the nearly 700-ft. vessel - wouldn't work. The Navy eventually got the gate fixed in time for the ship to leave Norfolk and sail to the Persian Gulf, where its mission is to hunt down smugglers. But now the San Antonio has been forced into port in Bahrain for at least two weeks of repairs to leaks in the hefty pipes feeding fuel...
