		<description><![CDATA[Talk about mixed emotions&#8230;
My mind is reeling with thoughts as I think about the six-part series written by NY Times reporter David Rohde about his capture by the Taliban, seven months in captivity and harrowing escape.
Some of the ideas fighting to get through my brain to my fingers:

Pride in being part of the same fraternity [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ These are the best of times for media coverage of climate change, but they still may fall short of &#8220;good enough.&#8221;
The environment in general and global warming in particular have always suffered from lack of media attention.
Media in America &#8211; both print and broadcast &#8211; tend to follow their readers&#8217; and viewers interests. The interests [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m fascinated by the success of Glenn Beck, Fox TV&#8217;s talented entertainer/comedian/commentator.
Here&#8217;s a guy who has figured out how to get rich quick.
Take a group of Americans &#8211; it may only amount to 5 percent or 10 percent, but that&#8217;s still millions of people &#8211; who are worried about their paychecks, their mortgages, their kids&#8217; lack [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As often happens, divergent thoughts converged in my mind last night, creating this blog post.
It started when I read The Evening News&#8217; coverage of Pfc. Eric Harios&#8217; funeral. It&#8217;s an emotional subject, and although I&#8217;m an experienced and somewhat caloused observer of the news, there was an uncomfortable lump in my throat by the time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been about a year since I read, &#8220;A Thousand Splendid Suns,&#8221; Khaled Hosseini&#8217;s second novel about life in Afghanistan. It followed his best-selling book, &#8220;The Kite Runner,&#8221; which has since been made into a movie.
But my mind went straight to that book when I read Deb Saul&#8217;s column a couple weeks ago about the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this, my second year teaching at Monroe County Community College, I&#8217;ve really noticed the extra energy on the first days of class.
Last fall, I suppose I was too new, too worried about not screwing up my first lectures, to notice.
But Thursday, the first day of fall semester, was special. And today, as the first [...]]]></description>

There was no mystery to my absence. I wasn&#8217;t searching for the Holy Grail or rediscovering myself. I wasn&#8217;t tired of blogging or looking for a new direction.
I just took the summer off. Now I&#8217;m back at school &#8211; teaching journalism at Monroe County [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m often humbled at the end of a good book.
As I set it down, I take a moment to peer into my own soul and ask, &#8220;What have I done to touch the world the way that book touched me.&#8221;
Alas, the answer is, &#8220;not much.&#8221;  
The book I just put down is &#8220;A little History [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not an expert on Nicholas Sparks&#8217; books, or on making movies from novels.
Generally, I&#8217;ve avoided jumping on the &#8221;hate-the-movie-because-it-didn&#8217;t-do-the-book-justice&#8221; bandwagon.
I try to enjoy both, for what they are. You can&#8217;t replicate the reading experience in a theater. So I try to just relax and not be judgmental.
That was the case last night when my wife, Kathy, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been thinking for weeks about what to say in reaction to the Detroit newspapers&#8217; announcement that they&#8217;re suspending home delivery  except Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Then today I ran across a name from the past, which led me down a thought process that seems to [...]]]></description>
