This is your reminder that, like it or not, we did lose an hour of sleep Sunday. Since most of our devices automatically change the time for us, it's not as much of a chore as it used to be. But unless you have smart appliances, change those microwaves and ovens! More about the time change. |

Treasury secretary: No bailout for Silicon Valley Bank |
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Sunday ruled out a federal bailout for now-collapsed Silicon Valley Bank , but said that the government will step in to help depositors. "We're not going to do that again," Yellen said on CBS' "Face the Nation," referring to the 2007-2009 crisis that led to a massive government rescue of financial institutions. She declined to provide specifics on steps the government might take. Silicon Valley Bank, which has deep ties to technology startups and venture capital, collapsed Friday after a bank run stemming from the downturn of tech stocks and the Fed's interest hikes. |
