Welcome to FY11! For those of you that don't work for the government and might not know, today marks the beginning of a new federal fiscal year (FY). Thanks to the wonderful game of politics, Congress has not passed our budget yet, so we'll be operating under a Continuing Resolution Authority (CRA) at least until Christmas. Yay! :)On to today's recommended reads. (My comments will be brief this week due to the crazy end of FY10 - beginning of FY11 turnover.)
