		<title>Another Article That Has Been Languishing On An Open Tab</title>
		<description><![CDATA[http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2011/nov/27/alex-hartley-nowhereisland-cultural-olympiad

		<title>Derivatives and Teaching Your Eye</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Art News is one of the best visual teaching mechanisms on the web for me.  In the last several months I&#8217;ve been seeing early picasso.  Many thanks to Google Images for the use of teaching materials.

Here&#8217;s a link to the most recent article.
