1. “Facebook's IPO price: $38 per share”

2. After four months of paperwork, hype and speculation, the last piece of the Facebook IPO (initial public offering) is in place: Facebook said it has priced its IPO at $38 a share. At that price, Facebook's IPO will raise $16 billion, making it the largest tech IPO in history. The $38 IPO price is the rate at which Facebook's underwriters (including lead banker Morgan Stanley) will sell shares to their clients, which typically include large institutional investors, mutual funds and hedge funds. Shares will be released Thursday night to those buyers, who can resell them on the open market beginning on Friday. Ordinary investors looking to get a piece of Facebook will have to wait until Friday morning.

Andrew Sweat suffered three concussions while he played as a Buckeye in the Big Ten, including a serious one in the middle of his final year on the field for The Ohio State University. But he began to feel better earlier this year, and, as an undrafted free agent, had a chance to try to nab a spot on the Cleveland Browns' roster.  As he prepared to head to the team's camp last week, he slipped and fell in the shower, causing the concussion symptoms to return. It appears that was the final straw for Sweat.
