					<description><![CDATA[Yet another batch of mosquitoes in Miami Beach has tested positive for the Zika virus. The results were in the same location &#8220;where five other samples had previously tested positive,&#8221; the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services announced Saturday. The latest positive sample of Aedes aeqypti mosquitoes was from a trap located on West 49th Street in Miami Beach, according to a news release.

					<description><![CDATA[In a highly unusual travel warning, health officials advised pregnant women to avoid a part of Miami where mosquitoes are apparently transmitting the Zika virus directly to humans. At the same time, Florida Gov. Rick Scott said residents and travelers to Miami and the rest of the state were safe. &#8220;We&#8217;ve tested a little over 20,000 now, and we don&#8217;t have any mosquitoes that have Zika,&#8221; he told reporters after Tuesday&#8217;s Cabinet meeting. Health officials last Friday announced that mosquitoes have&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Several school districts on Tuesday suspended Florida&#8217;s new standardized tests for a second day, despite assurances that the problems had been fixed. Education Commissioner Pam Stewart asked districts early in the morning to resume using the online portal that middle-school and high-school students must use in order to log on and take the state&#8217;s annual standardized tests.

					<description><![CDATA[For nearly 2 million Florida public school students, the next few weeks could be a crucial moment in their education. The state is undertaking one of the biggest changes in its classrooms since former Gov. Jeb Bush pushed through his signature A+ school grading system nearly 16 years ago. Students will switch this spring to a new test based largely on Common Core standards, and it&#8217;s a test that most will do on a computer instead of paper.
