This is the core of the backend engine that given search keywords, will find 
relevant articles.

For this time frame the keyword list will be fixed. Later on, more flex and 
learning algorithms will be used.

This is an important feature for our POC.

RSS feeds are parsed from google news and inserted (put) into the DB.
Title, news source, URL, date are parsed correctly.
The description of each item in the feed is a complex (ugly) html element that needs to 
be parsed independently.

The basic functionality is done:
got rss feed with the basic 'israel' query from google news.
parsed title, url and problematic description.
before inserting the parsed article to the DB, more processing will be done (see other 
backend tasks)
