		<description><![CDATA[I just saw the movie Contraband. I absolutely love fast-paced films about intelligent, illicit activity. Plus, Mark Wahlberg is pretty convincing in criminal protagonist roles, so I have no complaints.
 
But there always seem to be elements of movies like this one that have gaps. You know what I’m talking about: parts of the storyline that [...]]]></description>

The study by the University of Miami&#8217;s School of Business Administration finds that “prettying up” a company’s annual report can cause investors to place a higher value on a company.
Of course, we would go one step further than the &#8220;prettying up&#8221; referred [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After my last post about crowd sourced design, I rather enjoyed Rob Walker&#8217;s Consumed article &#8220;Banana Democracy&#8221; here in today&#8217;s New York Times Magazine. The piece explores Chiquita&#8217;s public competition for designs for stickers on its bananas.
