Tuesday, September 16, 2008... NEW YORK: Lehman Brothers declared itself bankrupt Monday and Wall Street rival Merrill Lynch had to be taken over in a new financial earthquake that sent global markets into a slump and panicked central banks. The US Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and Bank of England injected tens of billions of dollars into money markets after the fall of the finance titans under the weight of the massive financing of bad loans. Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy on Monday after a frantic weekend of negotiations failed to arrange a rescue. In the fallout, Bank of America took over Merrill Lynch in a 50 billion dollar deal, insurance giant AIG was reported to have sought a massive emergency loan to head off its own crisis and a group of banks set up a 70-billion-dollar global emergency fund.

Mon Sep 15, 2008 10:43 am EDT...You all know Kenny George. The tallest person ever to play Division-1 basketball, the UNC Asheville center is 7-foot-9, 370 pounds, and is only nominally good at the sport despite his incredible size. Part of that size means being naturally disposed, whether willingly or not, to play basketball for a living. The other part, the ugly part (if there is anything "pretty" about being so freakishly large) is that injuries are much more likely and, once suffered, much more difficult. So it goes for George. The big fella had his second foot surgery this week and looks like he won't play much this year, if at all. George has always been an object of fascination to me.
