		<title>R.I.P Ben Gazzara</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m struck with a tinge of sadness upon hearing that actor Ben Gazzara, terrific in the underrated and largely ignored film &#8220;Happiness,&#8221; has died. And surprised by this bio nugget:

In 1965, he moved on to TV stardom in “Run for Your Life,” a drama about a workaholic lawyer who, diagnosed with a terminal illness, quits [...]]]></description>

		<title>My heart belongs to Daddy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wealthy Fla. man adopts adult girlfriend as his daughter.

A wealthy polo club owner in Florida has legally adopted his longtime adult girlfriend as his daughter in a legal maneuver that critics say is an attempt to shield his assets ahead of a civil lawsuit over a deadly car crash, The Palm Beach Post reports.
Goodman, founder [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flute this!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was having a discussion with my Dad today about what DNA is. He asked for a specific definition and I said, &#8220;D-Something Nucleic Acid.&#8221; But as I thought about it, that definition is almost meaningless to me. I don&#8217;t even know the D word, I don&#8217;t know what nucleic means (something about the nucleus [...]]]></description>

		<title>The sad state of Bill Mantlo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a kid, I was a big fan of Marvel Comics, as any self respecting kid should be. In those days, Bill Mantlo was a writer for a number of Marvel titles; he was perhaps best known as the creative force behind a toy-based comic series called The Micronauts drawn by my favorite comic artist, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fueling the creative spark.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately, a topic percolating in my mind has to do with the question of how to keep the creative embers burning. I have some sense, as I enter into my fourth decade, that this is becoming more difficult.
I&#8217;ve mentioned in the past how, when I was in the midst of the lethargy and dizziness brought [...]]]></description>

		<title>Accessory characters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing that has always interested me is the fact that movie directors, when pontificating on their work, will often discuss lesser characters, like the main villian&#8217;s third henchman, as if a lot of thought went into these characters. A director might say something like, &#8220;It was important to understand the motivation for Lightning Soldier [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This caught my eye:  LA Times &#8211; Solar storm sends charged particles toward Earth

A massive explosion on the sun&#8217;s surface has triggered the largest solar radiation storm since 2005 and has unleashed a torrent of charged plasma particles toward Earth, though the threat to satellites, power grids and other high-tech hardware is believed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple Genuises</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had to take my Dad&#8217;s Mac in for repairs at the Apple Store. To do this, you have to take the computer to a section of the shop called  the Genius Bar which is purportedly staffed by friendly Apple &#8220;geniuses&#8221; who know everything about computers. This is one of those situations where you [...]]]></description>

		<title>A lobster named George</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was nosing around reading about animals with long lifespans and came across mention of George the lobster. George is a lobster (you might have guessed that) and was purportedly 140 years old when he was released in the wild a few years ago.
At first one feels a twinge of jealously towards George. After all, [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Van Halen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I tend to agree with this guy that the new Van Halen single is a snoozer. However the video (viewable at the link) reminds me just how great David Lee Roth is as a front man. His lexicon of stage moves is a cornucopia of 20th century pop culture, from Charlie Chaplin to kitsch Hawaiiana [...]]]></description>
