		<description><![CDATA[The beauty of the Chernoff bound, like everything admirable, lies in the minimalism. 
In the simplest form, it does this: Give me a random number between -1 and 1, with mean 0 and variance \sigma. The Chernoff bound can tell you themaximum possible probability of it being greater than a number \alpha, say p.

Briefly: Create my own, in LaTeX.
Solution: Life trained me to be a planning freak, and Granta gave me a diary that I could actually use. In this space I&#8217;ll put down the next installment of [...]]]></description>

Hypothetically, I get a copy of, say, &#8220;The Inconvenient Truth&#8221;, and pay for the book. So, in an Ideal World &#8482; that pays for reading the book once. Every time I read it, I should pay for it as for a fresh book, since it&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stuart Dreyfus presents excerpts from Bellman, of dynamic programming fame, in RICHARD BELLMAN ON THE BIRTH OF DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING.
There&#8217;s a bit of research-related therapeutic talk here, and at least one provocative idea.

Briefly: LaTeX is anal about the directory tree. So learn the right directory names and save yourself a bundle of trouble.
