		<description><![CDATA[You've probably just settled into your summer routines, and the last thing you want to think about is going back to school. Join the club. If you think that time is flying, you're not alone, but with many students going back to school in mid-August, the time to think about getting ready is now. And retailers know that as well. If you've been shopping lately, you notice that the store shelves are full of Back to School Items, and the National Retail Federation estimates that sales will be up 11 percent this season. That's good news as economists will be watching spending during this period closely as a potential forecast of Q4 sales.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lot has changed since I was a kid. You probably don't want to know this, but we had ready access to cherry bombs, M-80s and other things that blew up. A pack of matches, the gas can out of the garage and a bucket of army men was enough to entertain us for the afternoon. Left to our own devices, we had many a wonderful day, and without ongoing parental supervision, well...let’s just say it’s a good thing we all have all our fingers and toes. But it does strike me as alarming that with all the constant mini-explosions going on in our neighborhood (53 kids under 13 spread out over two city blocks), that no adults ever seemed to be worried. “Be careful,” “Outdoors with that,” and “Not near the cat,” were the most dire warnings we got. We were turned outdoors after breakfast, expected back for lunch and had to come in after the street lights came on.  It’s not like that today.]]></description>
