The 1 Percent Rule: Entrepreneurs beware growthink Share
Dave Lavinsky writes, "Do you still have your high school yearbook? I do. I don't look at it very often. But when I do, it's pretty cool to see the pictures of me and my friends.

Farewell and good riddance to the first half of 2011 - six months that are ending as sour for the economy as they began. Most analysts say economic growth will perk up in the second half of the year.
