		<description><![CDATA[Time magazine recently selected Apple&#8217;s iPhone as its invention of the year. While the iPhone is a breakthrough mobile device, I was upset at Time choosing a gadget with such a small global reach as its annual halo invention. Instead, I&#8217;d like to rave about Time&#8217;s 2005 invention of the year, the Lifestraw from Vestergaard [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mal-aware is a portmanteau meaning being aware of malicious activity on the internet. In this article I&#8217;ll be tackling phishing scams (as relevant to Myspace accounts, though the general concept is applicable to eBay, Paypal and various other internet communities). I&#8217;ll try to be thorough yet simple enough for the layman to understand. Why? Because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now internet/current-affairs mavens have seen the two most recent clips involving the abuse of Tasers, namely, that of the clueless Polish immigrant, Mr. Dziekanksi, at Vancouver airport (how many Polish jokes will this spawn?) and the poor husband, Jared Massey, pulled over by a Utah state trooper. Mr. Dziekanksi, who is now deceased, was [...]]]></description>

To survive and feed their hunger they must constantly stay ahead of the authorities, out of the watchful eye of parents [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Editor&#8217;s Note: Please welcome our newest author, Woland, to the BackWomb. A refreshingly opinionated thinker and budding writer, Woland can also lay claim to some stellar taste in music.

This aside from all the obvious cultural differences.  Still, just knowing how to say a few phrases in someone else&#8217;s language is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a lot of noise these days about alternative fuels.  Most of it is due to the fact that people are finally realizing the weather is changing rather drastically and that we humans might be responsible for it.
