		<title>Goldman Sachs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Goldman Sachs is the face of what&#8217;s gone wrong with the American financial system. They are nigh universally reviled among the blue collar general populace who has no use for an investment bank.  Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, is considering dropping them.  In England, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown called them morally bankrupt.  Back [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Can Do It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You have the power over the challenges and tasks you face.  You just might not know it yet.  Not too long ago I learned a new term: self-efficacy.  The concept was not foreign to me, just the term itself.
