Alltop has been around for a while, collecting news and feeds. They label themselves as an “online magazine rack” of popular topics. Just a few of their pages: news from CNN, news from the BBC, news from the New York Times and news from Newsweek.

“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.”
This was originally posted at another (now extinct) blog of mine.
Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress.
