      Bulldogs Take the Field&mdash; &amp; Game

      The Georgia Bulldogs gained a hard-fought victory over the Florida Gators last night, and their mild-mannered coach turned over a colorful new leaf, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Mark Richt ordered his team—all 70 players—onto the field after the Bulldogs' first touchdown, drawing two penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct but gaining the momentum they would need to win.

      Remaining Democrat Leaves SEC

      The Securities and Exchange Commission is down to three lone Republicans after the second Democrat in a month resigned yesterday, MarketWatch writes.

      Apple CEO Steve Jobs has been subpoenaed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a case involving backdated stock options, the Wall Street Journal reports.

      SEC: Don't Blame Credit Markets for Firm's Demise

      The feds don’t know what happened to the millions of dollars that disappeared from the books of a Chicago-area cash management firm, but they don’t believe upheaval in the credit markets is to blame.

      Obscure Rule Change Blamed for Wild Market

      A change in an arcane rule governing stock trading is being blamed for some of the recent volatility in the stock market, the Wall Street Journal reports. For more than 75 years, the "downtick rule" prevented traders from shorting a stock as the price fell. Its repeal last month coincided with some wild swings in the market. More »
