Congratulations to the Class of 2013!

Mon, 05/27/2013 - 7:07pm

557 members of the Class of 2013 celebrated commencement yesterday in Nelson on a wet and chilly Memorial Day weekend. Despite student protests, the celebration was held inside the recreation center for the first time in 21 years. Yet the mood inside Nelson was anything but cold, as seniors walked across the stage to receive their diplomas and canes. Bronwyn Oatley delivered the student speech while young author Jonathan Safran Foer gave the commencement address. Check out both below. Congratulations to the Class of 2013 and best wishes for the future!

Find news on a topic

In the context of new media, finding news on a topic is more than visiting the website of a traditional news outlet (e.g., nytimes.com) or checking Google News.  Through RSS, you can subscribe to various news feeds and have the news feeds aggregated by your RSS reader.  Microblogging services have emerged as an important source of real-time news updates.

RSS

An RSS feed or a webfeed is a way to receive or deliver updated content from a website. Subscribers use software called a reader (a web-based example is Google Reader)  that regularly checks for new content on all of the sites the user subscribes to. That information is either downloaded as a list of headlines or in its entirety. The reader allows the subscriber to go to one place to read all of the news headlines or blog posts or instead of having to visit each blog or news site individually.
