		<description><![CDATA[My girlfriend saw the latest book that I’m reading, titled “Real Leaders Don’t Do Powerpoint!” and wondered why that was the case. She’s used to using Powerpoint as a teaching tool, where the slides replace the sketches and point form lists that teachers used to write on the blackboard. I told that, unfortunately, the way [...]]]></description>

I would have thought that only people who lived under [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We live in an age of rapid, nearly-instant communication. Emergencies depend on the rapid exchange of information between those who are on-scene and those who can support them, between those who have information to protect others and the public who needs that information to keep safe and help themselves. Internet technologies are among the fastest, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many movies, particularly blockbuster action movies, are very simplistic in their portrayals and characterizations. Good guys vs bad guys &#8211; that&#8217;s it, that&#8217;s all you need to know, that&#8217;s all they&#8217;re telling you. That&#8217;s fine when it&#8217;s for entertainment, although even then my opinion is that more nuanced and complex characters make for more interesting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Politicians and bureaucrats (including those in private industry) have latched on to the use of the word “ask” as a noun.  This perfectly good verb is being mauled every day into a noun where “a request” should be used.  Now, another English word is in peril, thanks to the politicians, their spinmasters, and speechwriters.
