		<description><![CDATA[While doing some other page template improvements, I discovered that a web-hosting server upgrade had changed the PHP version and killed the XSLT transformation of my massage and general bibliographies. I updated the PHP XSLT coding and both bibliographies are available again. Both bibliographies are maintained in the Library of Congress&#8217;s MODS XML format. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the Twitter side, I&#8217;ve wandered into the discussion about the inaccuracies and damage to public understanding resulting from ‘he said, she said’ journalism. This is most simply defined as journalism in which both sides of a ‘public debate’ are quoted without regard to their actual expertise and scientific accuracy.

In essence, that means that I&#8217;ve included enough content to hopefully make it useful, without so much that it becomes cumbersome.
