To drive the point home, I can list every second of college basketball I&#8217;ve seen this year: Five seconds of Iowa vs. Michigan State as I walked past The Village Pourhouse, one of those awful East [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No! Many Facebook users are devastated by the news that their favorite application, Scrabulous, is in danger of being taken down. Toymakers Hasbro and Mattel are telling Facebook to lose the game, claiming the online game infringes their copyright on the classic board game.

Four of the five games are a wash, as we both picked the same teams in each game. Furthermore, independently of each [...]]]></description>
