		<title>Creepy school admins spying on kids via webcam&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is so outrageous I almost don&#8217;t know what to say.  I guess just &#8220;wow.&#8221;  In one school district in PA the school admins are spying on kids with the webcams on computers the kids get through school while at home.  And it came to light when they chose to try and punish a student [...]]]></description>

		<title>Principal terrorizes 9 yo for playing with legos.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An obviously delusional and ignorant elementary school principal in NYC hauled in a 4th grader, made him write a confession, and suspended him.  For playing with a Lego policeman figure (at his lunch period) with a tiny little plastic gun&#8230;  I guess that makes her feel like a big person or something.

		<title>Well, we knew it was BS from the beginning&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you haven&#8217;t heard of the latest security toy &#8220;backscatter x-ray&#8221; then you are living under a rock (and didn&#8217;t see my last post.)  There has been quite a bit of outrage in the UK where they are becoming mandatory in the airports.  Supposedly the best thing for security since sliced bread, there is no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s funny how the little things can really trip you up.  I&#8217;d like to think I&#8217;m a pretty smart guy but I got a Stanley TR250 &#8220;Sharpshooter&#8221; staple gun today and I must have spent 10 minutes figuring out how to load the damn staples in it.  Unlike most staple guns I have used before, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Royal Society: 350 Years of Scientific Publishing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A new website by the Royal Society in Britain allows you to explore 350 years of scientific papers and accomplishments via an interactive timeline.Â  Even more interestingly, the actual papers are linked from the event details.Â  For example, you can read Benjamin Franklin&#8217;s letter regarding his famous kite experiment.
