		<title>Race to the Top or Race to the Bank?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hopefully you are aware of the Race to the Top grant program which the federal government has developed as a carrot to induce states to modify their laws to reform education.

		<title>2010?  Just another year?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must admit&#8230;I have never been a big fan of New Years.  I am a huge planner, so I make my list of resolutions, often just copying last year&#8217;s list of the typical goals&#8230;weight, organization, etc. I must admit, however, that I think 2010 is going to be a significant year&#8211;maybe even a transformative year [...]]]></description>
