All Eyes On Oil: What Will OPEC Do This Week? -- CNN Money
While Americans are chomping down on turkey and pie this week, everyone involved in the energy world will be closely watching the Thanksgiving Day meeting of the OPEC in Vienna, Austria.
Oil prices have tumbled dramatically in recent weeks. Oil now trades below $80 a barrel and most Americans can buy gas for their cars for under $3 a gallon.

I think WNU called it right about 2 weeks ago when he said when there is a leak about your job prospects, they are shopping your job.

Hagel might not have been the best man for the job, but the fish rots form the head.
It would be nice to see a link to that post.
Thank you for the heads up on Sec. Hagel. I am not surprised .... but I expected him to stay there until after Christmas.
