byline goes here

If you want to attempt to actually make money during the recession, your best bet (according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis) is to go to Hawaii, or maybe Virginia:

Personal income in the fastest growing state, Hawaii, was up 0.8% while personal income in the next fastest growing state, Virginia, grew 0.3%. Earnings growth in these states was concentrated in the federal civilian and military sectors and was accounted for by first-quarter pay raises as well as some initial hiring for the 2010 Census.

Meanwhile, R. Allen Stanford, who is under investigation for an alleged $8 billion dollar ponzi scheme, surrendered to the FBI yesterday outside of his girlfriend's home. He's set to appear in court today. Up until now, the only person from Stanford Group Co. to face criminal charges is his chief investment officer, Laura Pendergest-Holt.
