Immediately, I began rehearsing scenarios in my imagination.  The kinds of conversations all men have had but don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Secretary of Education Arne Duncan held a town meeting in which he demonstrates the problems with words like &#8220;creative&#8221; and &#8220;innovation&#8221; in conversations about policy.&#160; It always seems to stumble:
&#8220;We need to be much more creative and innovative in how we do things,&#8221; Duncan said. For instance, students today use cell phones and PDAs on [...]]]></description>
