Question

I have previsously parsed this RSS Feed, now that I have updated it to use a AsyncTask it now displays a blank screen instead of a filled listview
CODE:

public class CustomizedListView extends Activity {

static String URL= "http://scout.org/rss/feed/all";
static final String KEY_ITEM = "item"; 
static final String KEY_TITLE = "title";
static final String KEY_DESCRIPTION = "description";
static final String KEY_LINK = "link";
static final String KEY_PUB_DATE = "pubDate";
 String PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
         + "/SCOUTS/";




ListView list;
LazyAdapter adapter;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.news);
    SharedPreferences sharedPrefs =   PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
    URL= sharedPrefs.getString("news_feed", "-1");
    ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> libraryList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
    list=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1);            
    adapter=new LazyAdapter(CustomizedListView.this, libraryList);        
    list.setAdapter(adapter);
     new MyAsyncTask() .execute();
}

  class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> > {
      private ProgressDialog progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(CustomizedListView.this);

        protected void onPreExecute() {
           progressDialog.setMessage("Loading Latest WOSM News");
           progressDialog.show();}

        ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> libraryList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
