		<description><![CDATA[VENTURA, Calif. &#8212; Following are reflections that don&#8217;t fit in the reportage articles from the weekend&#8217;s annual conference of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists. A proud moment came in helping select the year&#8217;s scholarship contest winner. Paul Bowers of the University of South Carolina &#8212; the other USC, was the running, old joke &#8212; [...]]]></description>

Sure I like some of his pieces better than others, which might mean he&#8217;s uneven. But it&#8217;s likely more of a matter of whether I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[VENTURA, Calif. &#8212; The final day of the columnists&#8217; 2009 conference sought both to expand their possibilities then return them to the glory of old-fashioned reader-beloved essays. The background on The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch with Jeffrey Zaslow is easy to find online, including Zaslow&#8217;s experiences in creating the book. Jeff, of The Wall [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[VENTURA, Calif. &#8212; We themed (why not?) the 2009 conference of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists &#8220;Survive and Thrive,&#8221; and the speakers returned working titles that showed they understood, what with the now daily frosts at the beginning of the Newspaper Ice Age.

I&#8217;ve had one in my right ear since mid-2005, and six months ago had to begin wearing them in both.
