			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, the champagne bottles must be popping over at SkyMall today. The gadget vendor&#8217;s rival, The Sharper Image (SHRP), <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&amp;sid=aHR7.jO1NnUE&amp;refer=us">filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection</a> late yesterday and announced plans to shutter 90 of its 184 stores as soon as it&#8217;s able to sell off their inventories.</p>
<p>Seems increased competition and diminishing margins&#8211;not to mention that <a href="http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/appliances/heating-cooling-and-air/air-cleaners/sharper-image-air-purifier-class-action-update-1-08/overview/0108_sharper-image-air-purifier-class-action-update.htm?resultPageIndex=1&amp;resultIndex=1&amp;searchTerm=sharper%20image">infamous air purifier class-action suit</a>&#8211;have taken their toll on the company. Its sales fell 26% during its last fiscal year, which ended Jan. 31. And it&#8217;s amassed $199 million in debt. With just $251.5 million in assets, the company (which just last week <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hXhGljKx6mId601uWKLVizRjaRNAD8UQB7981">replaced its CEO with a crisis-management expert</a>) is in dire straits. Said CFO Rebecca Roedell, &#8220;Sharper Image is in a severe liquidity crisis.&#8221;</p>
