		<description><![CDATA[Preeminent scholar Hanry Louis Gates was arrested for &#8220;breaking into&#8221; his own home.   It&#8217;s one of those moments, that I&#8217;d love to use to challenge those people who suggest that the discrimnation people of color face is reduced to &#8220;class&#8221; disadvantage.  All the degrees in the world, huge grants, and the class status that being [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bottles, Breasts, and Mothering &#8220;Choices&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months after my boys were born I stumbled across a message board for twin moms, I really started to enjoy the tips and the sense of community that I gained from reading and posting on the site.  One of the things I enjoyed most was the forum for breastfeeding mothers, which gave me [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m Afraid President Obama, Himself, is a Bit of Coward on the Race Issue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I voted for Obama, twice&#8211;once in the primary, and then again in the general election, but this is something he does that drives me crazy.  In typical political fashion, he talks out both sides of his mouth.  I knew Eric Holder would get flack over his comments about America being cowardly, but it had to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Highly Skilled US Immigrants are Emigrating: What&#8217;s the deal?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think it&#8217;s fair to say that immigration has long been positive contributors to the US economy.  In recent years, highly skilled immigrants have filled high demand jobs in science, technology, and  health care related fields.  Many of these immigrants have attended US universities and have advanced degrees.  They are relatively well positioned in US [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mark&#8217;s Spinach Face</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This kid is the master of facial expressions.  I&#8217;ve caught him making some of the goofiest faces.  He was making this face over and over again a few weeks ago.  Believe it or not he actually likes the spinach, but he just has a funny way of showing it.
