		<description><![CDATA[A couple days ago Drudge had a link to an article that indicated the Obama administration was hoping that markets would have dropped this last Monday morning. Thus forcing lawmakers to act swiftly in reaching an agreement on the nations absurd debt problem. However, that never happened. There was no drop and obviously no agreement [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sitting in Baltimore watching CNN and they are reporting that the Dow is falling as the debt ceiling looms and negotiations have stalled. They are making the case that it is precisely because of the debt problem. And, while I do not doubt that the debt is a strong factor I think the sputtering [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that I have dipped my feet into Google+ for a couple hours it is definitely apparent that something big is about to change in social media.  Google+ marks the end of &#8220;The Friend Era.&#8221;  To get to the bottom of this theory let&#8217;s start at the beginning:  Myspace.

		<description><![CDATA[Just saw an article on Mashable about the trend of brands creating social games to engage users online. I&#8217;ve thought a lot about this type of engagement, and really think it has lasting appeal in certain circumstances. However, the game has to have strong relevance to the brand or it will not be beneficial in [...]]]></description>

Brandon Davies getting kicked off BYU&#8217;s basketball team is remarkable in many ways. However, I will only mention two here. First, this basically kills BYU&#8217;s chances in the Big Dance.

And, if that&#8217;s the case then this morning you probably saw the VIX go up 10% in the opening seconds of the day. When I saw that I thought to myself, &#8220;Today [...]]]></description>
