		<title>Paved Paradise: eco-schisms in central Florida</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The theme parks and resorts in the southwest suburbs of Orlando, Florida burst with a lush, aggressively-gardened greenery that suppresses the wetlands that once defined the area. The warm, rainy climate suits the putting greens in the golf courses and the topiary gardens in Disney World as well as it did the marshes, swamps, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Examiner.com and the hyper-local long tail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brady Holt was bored in history class last week. But instead of doodling in a notebook or tapping away at Brick Breaker on his phone, the 20-year-old University of Maryland junior used the period to knock out a review of the new Hyundai Sienna minivan. He posted it to his "DC Car Examiner" section of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solar dreams in the snow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jimmy Carter was ahead of his time. The president famously installed solar panels on the roof of the White House West Wing in 1979 to highlight his "new solar strategy" for the nation.

		<description><![CDATA[Bridgeport, Connecticut is in many ways a typical mid-sized east coast city, but its public schools are failing its poorest students at higher rates than anywhere else in the country, even as its wealthiest succeed.
In an effort to close the gap between its highest and lowest achieving students, the city adopted a small but ambitious [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After major infusions of cash in school systems throughout the Arab world, young people are now much more likely to receive an education, or at least attend school, than ever before. The problem, according to a significant recent study, is that the quality of the education they receive is, in many cases, shockingly poor.

		<title>Stoddert Elementary gets an overhaul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mayor Fenty likes to play.
Memorably described as a "handsome triathlete" by the Post's Michael Grunwald during his run for office in 2006 (next to Linda Cropp's "matronly grandmother"), Fenty has always been enthusiastic about the benefits of exercise--especially for kids.
Since taking office, he's been moving forward aggressively on that basis, using $21.5 million in taxpayer [...]]]></description>
