		<description><![CDATA[ Sadly, the Teen Voices Board of Directors has made the very difficult decision to cease operations of Teen Voices, Inc. effective August 31, 2012, while we pursue partnerships with other organizations who may assume all or some of the programs that Teen Voices provides to girls.  We have found that, due to financial and organizational deficits, Teen Voices can no longer exist as an independent entity. The Board of Directors made this decision in the context of the financial circumstances and what would be in the best interest of Teen Voices and the girls that it serves.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever wanted to talk to your parents about money, but didn’t know how? Do you have friends who frequently expect to borrow money and don’t pay you back?

		<description><![CDATA[Classically trained Regina Spektor is a 32-year-old, Russian-born singer and songwriter who redefines pop with her unorthodox lyrics, quirky style, and utter cuteness. Her ability to incorporate unique guttural vocalizations and off-tempo flurries into her foot-tapping melodies sets her apart from other musicians.  Drawing by Talia Goodman, 16, Massachusetts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["A Powerful Noise" is a riveting documentary. For all the movies that are so singular in their genres—horror or romance, etc.—"A Powerful Noise" is as diverse as life itself. If I could describe it in one word, it would be “relevant,” as in related to what’s going on in the world today. ]]></description>
