		<description><![CDATA[Karamo Susso, the talented young kora player from The Gambia, is putting on a free show at 19 Broadway in Fairfax (Marin County) on Thursday August 5, from 8 pm to 2 am.

I believe there will be djembé and other percussion and a few guest appearances. This should be a fun show.
If that&#8217;s not enough, [...]]]></description>

		<title>How clean is the electricity I use?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not all electricity is created equal. If you live in Vermont or Idaho, most of the power you use comes from hydropower and emits few pollutants. If you&#8217;re a resident of Washington, DC, your power comes completely from burning coal, which is much dirtier.

How does your electricity compare? You can get the answer from EPA&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>China’s Oil Disaster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A series of photos from the Boston Globe&#8217;s always-compelling online photo series, the &#8220;Big Picture&#8221;, showing the oil disaster in Dalian, China. The photo below shows the rescue of a cleanup worker who fell into oil-covered water while attempting to repair a pump. Truly heartbreaking.

		<title>So Many Ways to Wash Your Hands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the World Bank&#8217;s Water and Sanitation Program: a new database detailing over 60 different &#8220;enabling technologies&#8221; for handwashing. I really could have used this when I was a Peace Corps Water and Sanitation Extension Agent in West Africa a decade ago.

An enabling technology is an external or environmental factor that influences an individual&#8217;s opportunity [...]]]></description>

		<title>Côte d’Ivoirienne Chanteuse Fely in SF</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The San-Francisco-based artist Fely Tchaco, originally from Cote d&#8217;Ivoire, has an upcoming show. Even if her music were lousy (it&#8217;s not), I suspect she still attracts a crowd. Here is her myspace page, and official website. Also, here&#8217;s an SF Chronicle podcast featuring Fely from 2005.

Lots more concert listings at the San Francisco Bay Area [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Good Day for America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Congress finally passed a financial reform bill, and BP finally stanched the gush of oil in the Gulf.

Of course, the experts say the bill was watered down, and there&#8217;s a chance the well could pop another leak.

Is this the beginning of the dreaded slippery slope to European-style socialist democracy? Sign me up! Perhaps we can [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve really gotten into the sound of Zimbabwean music lately. Last year&#8217;s show by Mawungira Enharira totally blew me away with their incredible charisma, rhythm, and soul.
