		<title>Jazz Singer Kurt Elling Plays Not My Job</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For many years, vocalist Kurt Elling was the Susan Lucci of jazz: Every year he would be nominated for a Grammy, and then every year he wouldn&#8217;t win. But ninth time&#8217;s a charm! In 2010, he won his first Grammy, and this year, he&#8217;s a favorite to win another for his latest record, The Gate. [...]]]></description>

		<title>With Contraceptive Coverage Plan 2.0, Obama Pleases Allies, But Not Everyone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[President Obama&#8217;s latest proposed change in how contraceptives are covered by employer health insurance may not have ended the controversy that has raged for the past three weeks. But what the administration is calling an &#8220;accommodation&#8221; for religious employers has apparently mollified key allies who had opposed his original plan. Speaking in the White House [...]]]></description>

		<title>With Death Toll Soaring, What&#8217;s Next In Aid To Syria?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the death toll mounts in Syria, the U.S. and its partners have been scrambling to come up with new diplomatic initiatives to persuade Syrian President Bashar Assad to silence his army&#8217;s guns and give up power.

		<title>At CPAC, Gingrich Takes Aim At &#8216;Republican Establishment&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Newt Gingrich was the last presidential candidate to speak Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. And he kept his Mitt Romney powder dry, preferring instead to attack establishment Republicans who have not embraced the Gingrich campaign. To put it mildly. That establishment, Gingrich charged, is &#8220;managing the decay&#8221; of the party, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Catholics Split On Obama&#8217;s Birth  Control Decision</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reaction from the Catholic community to the Obama administration&#8217;s decision to revise its birth control policy was swift and mixed. Under the new rule, employers with a religious objection to offering contraceptive coverage as part of their health care plans wouldn&#8217;t have to provide it directly. Instead, the requirement to provide that coverage free of [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Conservative&#8217;s Tips For Finding The Right Mate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Conservative Political Action Conference has been a Washington fixture for decades, but as it&#8217;s grown older it&#8217;s also added more features designed for young people. College-age youth come to Washington to talk politics and policy, but they&#8217;re also interested in, well, each other. So this year&#8217;s agenda included a session on dating for conservative [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Plea To The Right, Romney Bills Himself As &#8216;Severely Conservative&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They may not be ready to accept GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney&#8217;s invitation to stand with him &#8220;shoulder to shoulder,&#8221; but conservatives at their biggest annual gathering gave him a reception Friday that at times rose to rousing. Tacitly acknowledging that his past positions on abortion rights and health care mandates have made him suspect [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saved From Extinction, Darwin&#8217;s Crocs Are Now King</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s appropriate that Darwin, the tropical capital of Australia&#8217;s Northern Territory, is named for the English naturalist. The massive, powerful and deadly saltwater crocodile — the world&#8217;s largest living reptile — is the evolutionary triumph of 50 million years of natural selection. And in Darwin, the crocodile is equally dreaded and beloved. Crocodylus porosus was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A decade after the clerical sex abuse scandal erupted in the United Sates, Catholic religious officials from all over the world met in Rome this week to tackle the painful topic. The Vatican endorsed the symposium — called &#8220;Toward Healing and Renewal&#8221; — the aim of which was changing the culture of how the church [...]]]></description>

		<title>Angel Investors And Startups Mingle In Milwaukee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thirty-five well-dressed men and women are sipping wine and chatting in the lounge of one of Milwaukee&#8217;s oldest and most exclusive social clubs. A century ago, this is where the city&#8217;s beer and banking giants mixed and mingled. Tonight&#8217;s crowd isn&#8217;t all that different — many of these men and women are worth at least [...]]]></description>
