<p>The nation&#8217;s No. 2 consumer electronics retailer said it will shut 155 of its more than 700 stores and leave at least a dozen markets entirely, including Phoenix and Atlanta, by Dec. 31. It will lay off about 17 percent of its domestic work force, which could affect up to 7,300 people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Factory orders dropped by more than three times as much as analysts expected in September as the U.S. manufacturing sector continues to suffer from the economic downturn.</p>
<p>The Commerce Department said Tuesday that factory orders fell by 2.5 percent from August, far more than the 0.8 percent drop expected by Wall Street economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters. That&#8217;s on top of a revised 4.3 percent decline in August, which was the steepest in almost two years.</p>
<p>Excluding autos and aircraft, orders fell 3.7 percent, the steepest drop since 1992 when the department began tracking sector-specific changes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oil prices surged above $70 a barrel Tuesday in the final hours of a two-year U.S. presidential campaign, mirroring global stock markets that strengthened from Asia to Europe. A weaker dollar helped too.</p>
<p>Light, sweet crude for December delivery rose $6.62 to settle at $70.53 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after rising as high as $71.77.</p>
<p>As the pace of industry has slowed and businesses consume less crude, the price of oil has fallen $30 from just over a month ago. The price of retail gasoline dipped below $2.40 Tuesday for the first time since early in 2007.</p>

<p>&#8220;there is no one <strong>perfect</strong> recipe! It&#8217;s really depends on your  personal taste&#8221;</p>
<p>I just took my lunch just an hour ago and came to realize I&#8217;m craving for mashed potatoes yum yum!!<br />
came explain why? but honestly, I wondered how to make one&#8230; I asked my officemate how to&#8217;</p>
<p>she shared to me a simple recipe that I could make in a quickie</p>
<p>INGREDIENTS</p>
<p>2 pounds of potatoes<br />
1 teaspoon of salt<br />
1 cup of half and half (half milk &amp; half cream)<br />
6 tablespoons of butter<br />
Salt and pepper, to taste</p>
<p>PREP WORK</p>
<p>Peel and quarter the potatoes.</p>
<p>HOW TO MAKE AT HOME</p>
<p>1. Add the potatoes to a large pot with enough cold water to cover them by an inch or so. Add salt and bring the water to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife. (About 15 minutes)</p>
<p>2. Drain the potatoes return them to the pot and cook the drained potatoes over low heat for a couple of minutes to evaporate some of the water still in the potato.</p>
<p>3. Mash by your method of choice. (I prefer a potato ricer)</p>
<p>4. Blend in butter, half &amp; half, and any other ingredients you prefer.</p>
<p>5. Season with salt and pepper.</p>
