		<description><![CDATA[The Personal Income Tax Increase
The top income tax rate will rise from 35% to 39.6%.  the lowest rate will rise from 10% to 15%.  All the brackets in between will also rise.  Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will be phased out if you have &#8220;too much income&#8221;, which has the same effect as higher marginal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interview questions that work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Frankly, there is just so much pablum out there about how to conduct an interview&#8230;&#8221;What&#8217;s your greatest achievement?&#8217;, &#8220;How do you respond to adversity?&#8221;, &#8220;what&#8217;s your favorite color and why?&#8221;&#8230;and so on. Yikes.
Many interviewers (and managers) resort to this approach simply because it seems what everyone does.  Unfortunately, it&#8217;s not only lazy, it&#8217;s terribly ineffective. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Theres&#8217; a ton of &#8220;doom and gloom&#8221; out there, with the &#8220;recovery summer&#8221; fizzling, continual media drip of bad news, and just general bleakness about the prospects fro small businesses heading into the fall. 
But we don&#8217;t have to join the maddening crowd, do we?
In case you were wondering&#8211;no, we don&#8217;t.  But it really does start [...]]]></description>

		<title>IRS in audit oddity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The IRS has a magic number&#8211;$200,000.  Americans making less than that each year have only the slimmest chance of having their tax returns audited, it was revealed yesterday.
