US Ambassador To South Korea Attacked

Ambassador, Mark Lippert, suffered a 4-inch cut on the right side of his face, which required 80 stitches. He also suffered stab wounds to his left arm and hand.
The assailant reportedly shouted, "South and North Korea should be reunified."
On Twitter, a short time ago, Mr. Lippert wrote: "Doing well & in great spirits!"
Etsy Files To Go Public
Handcrafted marketplace Etsy has filed for an Initial Public Offering. It is looking toward investors wanting new internet stocks.
Founded back in 2005, Etsy has a community of 1.5 million sellers and almost 20 million buyers. It's almost like an Ebay for handmade goods.
If successful, Etsy's IPO will be a win for New York's tech scene, which has seen other tech stocks stumble.
What Millionaires-In-The-Making Look Like
A new study shows what millionaires in the making look like.
More women and more minorities will make up millionaires in the future. Nearly 70 percent will be women versus 40 percent who are current millionaires.
Seventy-five percent will be white, versus a little more than 90 percent now.
The survey looked at people with at least $50,000 in investable assets.
