		<description><![CDATA[Saturday morning a ten foot water pipe, that brought water to over 2 million Boston residents, ruptured. Authorities declared a state of emergency and imposed a blanket 'Boil Water' order.

		<description><![CDATA[To help jumpstart job growth in Massachusetts, a unique public/private partnership, Masschallenge.org, was launched earlier this year that hopes to attract hundreds if not thousands of interested entrepreneurs to Massachusetts by unveiling what it claims is the world’s largest business plan competition. It hopes to change the way business plans are run by providing the winning teams with $1 million in seed funding in six different categories. With these incentives from MassChallenge and the support of the Massachusetts Government, the many entries the "Social Development and Non-profit" category will attract could help create the next new growth cluster in the state.
