...despite this week's market meltdown, companies will still be keen to buy the special brand of magic that sports teams offer. Citigroup stumped up some $400 million to tag its name to a new stadium that baseball team the New York Mets will play in from next year. And British lender Barclays - who backed out of talks over a possible takeover of troubled Lehman Brothers last weekend - lavished a similar sum for the naming rights to the New Jersey Nets' planned Brooklyn basketball arena. If that sounds risky, consider its exposure in its home market: the U.K. bank...
...Alexandria, Va., who delivered some of the most accurate estimates of the cost of the savings-and-loan crisis of the 1980s. The S&L experience is instructive: the cost estimates started low (Ely's first guess was $25 billion), then eventually grew to $500 billion. The actual price tag, as calculated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) long after the fact: $123.8 billion, or about 2% of annual GDP during the bailout years. That's equivalent to $286 billion today...

Sarah Palin is a long-term member of a group called Feminists for Life, which is not opposed to birth control. So you probably can't tag her for consigning young people to unwanted pregnancies...
...laws in the U.S. Landowners and developers in that state, for example, cannot move any cactus from its natural habitat without a license from the Department of Agriculture - and all legally moved or sold cactuses, even the tiny souvenir plants sold at the Phoenix airport, come with an official tag. So, conservationists have stepped in with an everybody-wins plan: the Tucson Cactus Society's internationally recognized rescue program seeks permission to harvest plants at development and mining sites, tag and sell them - the money raised goes into teaching grants aimed at raising cactus awareness in local schools...
Move is what Death Race does; it's an eight-cylinder vehicle from which some prankster removed the brakes. It's got the red meat of fanboy film ardor: cars with guns - the movie's tag line is "Gentlemen, start your weapons" - and cons with girls. Though the picture doesn't deserve to appear on any critic's 10-best list, it observes the minimum standards of modern action films, which is to say it looks smarter, talks sassier and moves faster than almost anything else on the market...
