We need to be able to generate a google news feed. This is a basic XML file that contains data from our contents table.

The Zend XML class should be used to generate the file and it should be served via the FeedController? (/feed/googlenews). Optional GET parameter inputs may also be needed to control what data should be output.

1. A new google sitemap has been created: www.healthguru.com/feed/newsitemap
2. MRSS parameters are now checked, if lacking they are omitted from the feed.
