		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a deeper look at the seven talented finalists picked for this year&#8217;s on-stage Kollaboration Boston showdown.

		<title>Why Smart Women Get the Guy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a vibrant, diverse city like New York, you&#8217;d think that dating would be a lot easier. But for the Carrie Bradshaws, Bethenny Frankels, Ivanka Trumps, and Peggy Olsons of the world, strong, smart, independent women like them have always found dating a challenge; their sharp wit, business savvy, and confidence sometimes intimidated men. But are men threatened by women in power? TIME magazine&#8217;s last issue &#8220;The Richer Sex,&#8221; (aka women), dispels many stigmas single successful women face when dating men who do not make as much money or are not at the ...]]></description>

		<title>George Takei, Steve Aoki, and More Look Back At Japanese American Internment Camps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the Executive Order 9066 that led to the internment of about 120,000 Japanese Americans residing in the West Coast. Two-thirds of those interned were American citizens, and over 285,000 people of Japanese ancestry were impacted solely because of their race.
Although it&#8217;s an often forgotten piece of American history, it is important to remember what happened in the hopes that people can learn from these mistakes and the experiences of those impacted are not forgotten.
In honor of the 70th anniversary of the Executive Order 9066, the Japanese American National Museum ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here’s an interesting casting decision: Lucy Liu is going to play Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick Joan Watson in the CBS drama Elementary, which takes place in modern New York City. We can&#8217;t wait to see the relationship unfold between Holmes and a female Watson. Perhaps she will be more fierce? We hope so.
The overview of the new take on the famous British detective and his (now female) sidekick is that Sherlock, a former consultant for the Scotland Yard, has landed in New York City after multiple stints in rehab. Once he gets ...]]></description>
