just in case you care, the Dow is up 500 points today.
When the Obama administration outlined its plans to stabilize the banking system last month, leery investors panned the proposal as being short on substance and sent stock markets into a tailspin. But investors went on a tear Monday as the administration announced details of its banking rescue plan, hoisting the markets more than 6 percent in one of the biggest buying binges of the year.

jicyc : tennessee basketball

just in case you care, the vols managed to blow the SEC championship game today. i would say this is typical, but i watched the end of the game, and they got screwed 4 realz.

consequently, they've secured a no. 9 seed in the ncaa tournament. and don't get me wrong, i will pick tennessee to win every single game if anyone asks me to fill out any brackets.

in other news, the penn state nittany kitties did NOT make the tournament. just saying.
