		<description><![CDATA[With the wide-spread adoption of the internet, the traditional academic publishing system has become somewhat antiquated. This has caused a lot of uproar within the academic communities, and many prominent researchers have been thinking about alternative publishing systems. There&#8217;s a lot of material about this floating around the internet, but in this article I will [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a pretty rough couple of weeks, where I wasn&#8217;t really sure what I should be doing and I realized that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok so as usual I haven&#8217;t written in here in awhile, but I thought it would be a good idea to (attempt to) start something that I&#8217;m going to call &#8220;Week in Review.&#8221; Essentially, the point is for me to write just a small post about whatever I did last week, and the point is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So we&#8217;re going to skip forward quite a bit in my israel trip to today. I promise to go back and write about the rest of my trip, which was arguably the best part. But now, lets jump to today&#8230; I have 7 days left (by now it&#8217;s more like 6). I generally have very [...]]]></description>

I subscribed to the New York Times&#8217; RSS feed and here&#8217;s what I read about today. 16 Dead in Afghan Helicopter Crash &#8211; Last week [...]]]></description>

Almost everyone CAN speak english, but it isn&#8217;t their natural language (it&#8217;s kind of like how after only 6 years of studying spanish I CAN speak spanish, but in speaking spanish with [...]]]></description>

Last Sunday, I moved into a dormitory in Ramat Aviv and since then life has been quite a bit different. Several things contributed to this change, but the net [...]]]></description>
