		<title>Quick Kanji Dictionary proceeds going to the Japan quake victims</title>

		<title>How to fix Game Center sandbox sign in issues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently added Game Center achievement support to a client&#8217;s app, which requires testing using a special test account in a sandbox environment.
