SEEKING ALPHA - Several of us already have accts. there (free). Consider setting up an acct. attached to your e-mail address, or at least check it out. They e-mail articles on mkt related subjects per your selection directly to your e-mail address. A list of topics is somewhere on their site. Their most desirable characteristic is that they append comments at the end of every article, and the commentators are almost always rational - both sides of most stories emerge from the comments section. To tell the truth, the comments are often more useful than the articles. They pay a small fee for articles submitted for publication - if published. The URL, below, seems to connect to a registration page. They often change this, but currently all you need do is list a few tics of interest, your e-mail address, and a password (you make it up).. http://www.seekingalpha.com/

The URL's below should link to sites of interest. (Working on it - some of these links are shakey.) Please send me YOUR list of links, include anything you find helpful. If you can, note what you trust/like/hate? about them.

Your warning about a slick, dishonest/ignorant, source is incredibly valuable. Only someone relatively expert in a given field is likely to spot the intentional misdirection (or outright lying) that is, sometimes, rampant. It seems likely that this sort of info can only help increase the accuracy of our collecive understanding. There is no way we all read the same sources. (Bob, I recall you were hooked on the ECONOMIST several years ago. Still trust them?) At the moment I suspect that there is no use in your putting in time hunting down URL's for these items, since I have to see ONLINE what they will actually allow; however, if you have them, kindly include them.

YALE ENVIRONMENT360 - Just figure I'm biased. I think these articles are worth the read; and, I trust their accuracy. Common sense says that their bias will be protection of our environment first, then . . . .) http://e360.yale.edu/

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN - as always, reviews of current topics, but usually a year out of date (actually needed to maintain their form of accuracy), written by a leader in the field. Always struck me as running about a year behind AMERICAN SCIENTIST in reviewing "hot" topics. http://www.scientificamerican.com/

SCIENCE NEWS is one of the few print subscriptions I just cannot give up (remarkably up to date re the latest national meetings, major new contributions, publications, etcs. - high class READER'S DIGEST for compulsive scientists nosing around in the fields of others; http://www.sciencenews.org/index.asp

AMERICAN SCIENTIST more sophisticated than SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, surprizingly similar author list (intended for in lab individuals, not as bad as SCIENCE!). http://www.americanscientist.org/?

THE NATION (prob. too liberal for our purposes, but accurate.) http://www.thenation.com/#axzz2WxbG2JVr

A.A.A.S. (SCIENCE) These sites are aimed at archiving high value info. from >a single SCIENCE article They are AAAS knowledge environment web sites, well funded. They should be worth checking out on occasion (Have to find the URL for the set of single topic AAAS Sites. This one targets aging . It's listed below. I placed it here as a place marker.) http://sageke.sciencemag.org/"

U.S. gov. servers- Have to dig out my list. http://www.gov / http://www.gov /

Canadian gov. servers (limited to British Columbia here.) http://www.gov.bc.ca/

NIH Pub Med (prior address for Medline) If you want to go to NIH Pub Med, just click here!

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHICS http://nationalgeographic.com

LANCET http://thelancet.com/ This is worth waiting for the download. You must pan to the right (just like panning down in that there is a thin slide bar-this time at the bottom of the image.) http://www.freemedicaljournals.com/

SCIENCE - Aug. 31, 2001 This URL links links to a AAAS web site which promises exceptional information concerning Aging. It is an AAAS knowledge environment Web site, well funded. It should be worth checking out on occasion (if, like me, you're having trouble alphabetizing the pieces as they fall off.) http://sageke.sciencemag.org/"
