			<description><![CDATA[ Well, it&#39;s now official. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is now down 20 percent from its high of last October. That&#39;s the technician&#39;s definition of a bear market. That leaves us with the question: &quot;Is this just the beginning of another 2000-2002 debacle?&quot; Only time will tell, but given today&#39;s low stock valuations relative to 1999, that seems unlikely.

But what about the lucky fan sitting in the outfield seats who catches the baseball? Other than a few high fives and 10 seconds of air time, there&#39;s usually not much reward for the fan. Until now. Courtesy of Miller Lite, that fan will be rewarded with the ultimate prize.  Miller Lite is ... ]]></description>
