...tech-obsessed 1990s, plenty of other banks tried to woo customers to the Web, but ING Direct stood out with its cheeky and pervasive marketing ("Money doesn't grow on fees," says one orange-colored ad) and commitment to customer service.

Newman says that universities like Harvard are very unlikely places to experience rampage shootings such as the one in Blacksburg. Her research on school violence has found that most of the reported instances of school shootings have occurred in “highly conformist” and isolated rural areas where there are few alternatives for students who feel isolated from the primary social groups.
