		<title>Geology in the News</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When a geologist tells you to get out of the way, do it. This stunning landslide footage shows a roadcrew working to clear debris from a previous slide.

		<title>Fun with Science: Chemistry Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Very Top Five: Very Top Five&#8230; Ways to name a chemical element. This fun article goes well with the deliciously different Periodic Table of Cupcakes. Note the snide reference to an element named after Stanford University. There isn&#8217;t one. Berkeley has four. linkscolor = "000000"; highlightscolor = "888888"; backgroundcolor = "FFFFFF"; channel = "none";]]></description>

		<title>We Have Snoooooow!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[IMG_5945 Originally uploaded by EBRPD Public Affairs This picture was taken in a park a few miles east of my house and about 600 feet higher. Naturally, the park is closed for the day; there might be 3 to 6 inches of snow. This sounds silly to my winter-toughened Northeastern self, but most Bay Area [...]]]></description>

		<title>Great Moments in Science</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Royal Society, entering its 350th anniversary year, is celebrating with a new website of 60 groundbreaking science articles. (Naturally, they published them all in the first place.) The first few articles may seem ridiculously obvious to the modern reader; the fact that dogs need air to breathe comes as no shock to us. But [...]]]></description>

		<title>Redwood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from schoolteachers. St. Bernard How do you convey the essence of a redwood tree? No words, no pictures, can capture the experience of walking through a grove of them. Redwoods lack the graceful [...]]]></description>

		<title>BASEBALL: World Series, Game 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[6-1 Phillies! Robin Roberts, thou art avenged! The Phillies made more runs in this game than they did against the Yankees in the whole four-game series in 1950. No game in that series was this kind of blowout &#8212; all but one were decided by a single run. And although the Yankees swept that Series, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How to get a parking spot in Berkeley: Win a Nobel Prize. If you&#8217;ve ever tried to park in that crowded and fascinating college town, you&#8217;ll know what a valuable perk this is. Of course, you have to teach there.

		<title>Science Fun, California Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You can&#8217;t accuse California scientists of making their work mysterious and inaccessible. They&#8217;re much more likely to throw open the doors for a science party. Last week we had Impact Night, an all-night bash at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View to watch the LCROSS satellite smash into the moon. This cross between a [...]]]></description>

		<title>QUOTES AND BIO: Groucho Marx, 1890-1977</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy birthday, dear Julius Groucho. Julius Henry Marx was the sharp-witted middle child of five brothers. His mother Minnie favored the handsome, fair-haired older brothers and the adorable younger two, but she apparently thought less of young Julius. The dreamy, slightly wall-eyed boy loved books and music, but he had to drop out of school [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bad Monkeys, No Dahlia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Warning: Spoilers for Matt Ruff&#8217;s Bad Monkeys and James Ellroy&#8217;s The Black Dahlia. I should probably not read Matt Ruff while on vacation. I found Bad Monkeys extremely disturbing. The main character has a violent background and some things to feel seriously guilty about. She leads a purposeless, drug-ridden life until recruited for a secret [...]]]></description>
