		<description><![CDATA[
A Boulder climbing gym has been taking a beating by conservatives for its solar array.
From the Daily Camera:
On Friday, right-wing talk show host Sean Hannity listed the 100-kilowatt solar array at Movement Climbing and Fitness as second on his list of the &#8220;102 worst ways the president&#8217;s stimulus bill has wasted your money.&#8221;

		<title>Beetle-kill wood from Colorado is hard to come by</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More than 40,000 acres of forest in Boulder County have been devastated by pine beetles — and more than 1.5 million acres across the state.

Check it out at Google Maps by clicking on &#8220;bicycling&#8221; under the &#8220;more&#8221; drop-down menu, or [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Sizzle,&#8221; the global warming comedy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you seen &#8220;Sizzle?&#8221; The film is about global warming, but it&#8217;s no &#8220;Inconvenient Truth&#8221; &#8212; it&#8217;s more of a this-global-thermometer-goes-up-to-11 type of flick.
