		<description><![CDATA[Our fourth day on the Oregon Coast had us driving from Bandon to Yachats.  Overall, Yachats is a pretty good place to stop.  It&#8217;s past Florence and the dunes, and the coast makes a definite transition to a less rocky landscape, with softer beaches and finer sand.  It&#8217;s also a good distance from Bandon yet [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Op-Ed Columnist &#8211; Can I Clean Your Clock? &#8211; NYTimes.com
I think this is just a really good op-ed piece.&#160; First, it&#8217;s about the power that China wields when its government decides to go one way or the other.&#160; Second, it&#8217;s actually kind of scary, in a good way, that China realizes the importance of being [...]]]></description>

Read the article for the real meat, but this comes from someone that has covered GM, specifically, for quite some time for Business Week.  David Welch, the author, handles the multitude of issues &#8211; from GM&#8217;s basic structure, strategy, the UAW, and for what former CEO Wagoner [...]]]></description>

On the one hand, a 15.2% annualized drop is&#8230;staggering.  Mind-blowing.  Mind-numbing.  On the other hand, the article makes a good point in that everyone expected a huge hit since the country has responded to expected decline in exports very aggressively.  They have closed plants, not just decreased production.

Some interesting bits here.  First, to quote:
&#8220;The Fed says it expects the economy will shrink between 1.3% and 2% this year. It had earlier said the economy could contract between 0.5% and 1.3%.&#8221;
