					  <description><![CDATA[If you've ever had the dubious pleasure of trying to get onto or off of Manhattan Island from New Jersey, Queens, or Brooklyn during rush hour, you know the daily drill: traffic stopped for miles, honking horns, delays, and pot holes. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ To paraphrase Neil Armstrong; one four-letter, top-level domain for the Internet,
 and one giant leap for cooperative organizations was inaugurated January 30,
 2002, when co-op leaders from around the world gathered in Lower Manhattan to
 celebrate the addition of "dot-coop" to the lexicon of global commerce and information.

					  <description><![CDATA[ The population of the United States is graying. Between 1990 and 2000, the
 number of Americans aged 60 and older grew by almost 4 million. Improved health
 care and resources are enabling people to lead longer, healthier lives, forcing
 many co-op and condo buildings to confront the issues of an aging ownership.
 In complexes where at least 50 percent of the residents have one family member
 over 60, a growing elderly population may now require specialized support, services
 and facilities that may not have been planned for when the typical population
 of the building, and even the building itself, was much younger.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ Imagine this: It's a rainy gray Monday morning. You're snug in bed, dreaming
 away, when the alarm rings. Six thirty. You have just enough time to hit the
 gym before work, but the very idea of suiting up and traipsing out into the
 cold world to go work out makes you want to pull the covers over your head,
 hit the snooze bar five or six times, and just grab a big, buttery croissant
 on your way to the office. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ They have to worry about everything from keeping track of financial reports
 to whether the masonry will survive another winter. They collect maintenance,
 track repairs, and soothe ruffled shareholder feathers. If they don't know how
 to handle something, they had better know someone who does. Part accountant,
 part contractor, part therapist, they are property managers, and they keep New
 York's apartment buildings habitable. ]]></description>

					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/726/1/The-Creeping-Horror/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[In 1999, after her four-year-old son began coughing up blood and her husband started suffering respiratory complaints and memory loss, Melinda Ballard and her husband Ron Allison were told by their family physician to evacuate their Austin, Texas home immediately. They left in fear, with just the clothes on their backs. The force that drove the Allison-Ballard family from their home was not a malicious landlord or a tragic fire, but rather a toxic mold called stachybotrys that had infiltrated the walls of the house and taken root, spreading dangerous spores and triggering a host of health problems for the family. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ On April 5, David Letterman joked that the drought threatening the Northeast
 is so severe that New Yorkers can't even get a moist towelette at Kentucky Fried
 Chicken. While the water shortage hasn't yet impacted the city's population
 to quite that extent, co-op and condo residents are being called upon to conserve
 water in preparation for a summer that will likely be characterized by a sustained
 drought. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ Were you hungrier than you thought you were at that restaurant with the richly
 painted crimson walls? Did you feel particularly calm in that corporate reception
 area with sea foam-colored wallpaper? Perhaps you didn't immediately notice
 the physiological effects that the colors in both places may have had on you,
 but chances are you did experience a shift in appetite or mood induced - or enhanced - by
 the shade of your environment.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ Nothing communicates the character of a building like a well-designed lobby
 area. In just the time it takes for a resident or visitor to glance around and
 take in the visual impact of your building's "front room," as it were, an opinion
 of the building and its residents is formed. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ A private garden in New York is like a rare jewel glittering in the concrete
 jungle. Co-ops often overlook their hidden outdoor spaces, but a well thought-out
 garden can transform a rooftop, terrace or courtyard into an oasis that enhances
 the value of your property as well as enjoyment of your building. ]]></description>
