		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t get me wrong. I have have a great deal of respect for Jeff Koons. His sculpture, whether its a garage-sized balloon animal made from shimmering aluminum or the towering puppy made from flowers outside the Guggenheim in Spain, shows a creative brilliance that lives up to his fame. But $16.8 million is just too &#8230; <a class="read-excerpt" href="http://reporterbarnes.com/blog/?p=877">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m late to the game on this, but during a long run Sunday I finally listened to comedian Marc Maron&#8217;s critically acclaimed podcast. It lives up to the publicity. Aside from the first few minutes of neurotic, semi-confessional rambling about his new therapist, listening to Maron interview Patton Oswalt was like sitting in on a &#8230; <a class="read-excerpt" href="http://reporterbarnes.com/blog/?p=869">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

All the information locked in books, binders and notebooks now can be browsed, downloaded or sent to the cloud for viewing anywhere, at any time. Why would today&#8217;s freelance writer need to visit a library filled with stacks of yellowing paper?

		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s New York Times recounts a phone call between a reporter and an imprisoned 19-year-old U.S. citizen who alleges he&#8217;s been tortured in a Kuwaiti prison. The reason? Because Gulet Mohamed visited Yemen last year and FBI agents won&#8217;t accept his explanation of why he was there.

Much as I hate resorting to pop cultural references, you may remember it as the sleepy Pacific village Tim Robbins escapes to at the end of The Shawshank Redemption. These days you&#8217;d be hard-pressed to find anyone describing Zihua and neighboring Fonatur-conceived Ixtapa as secluded.
