MyKlass = Ext.extend&#40;Ext.Panel, &#123;

  plugins:&#91;'cool', 'cooler'&#93;,

		<description><![CDATA[Last July, I spoke with someone at Embarq about our bill.  My goal was to reduce the monthly cost if possible.  She was more than happy to help.  Six months later, I notice all our packages &#8212; the multi-line, the DSL &#8212; are now 2 year bundles.

The state of California, which collects wage data more speedily from employers — with a Jan. 31 deadline — shows what is technically possible. With little money to finance the project, and over the objections of the tax-preparation software lobby, the state [...]]]></description>

In computer security, the goal is for systems to fail in a closed state by default, so a breach is more difficult.  Clearly Varian has a different vision for software quality:

The first century starts at 0001-01-01 00:00:00 AD, although they did not know it at the time. This definition applies to all Gregorian calendar countries. There is no century number 0, you go from -1 century to 1 century. If you disagree with this, please write your [...]]]></description>
