What exactly is a RSS feed. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and it's use is increasing across the internet as a way to send news and information. RSS uses an XML, Extensible Markup Language, format page to set up the information and a special RSS news reader or XML news reader decodes the news for your review. The news reader operates similar to a Favorites list in a web browser except that instead of you going to a web page the news reader automatically goes and retrieves the updated XML page for you. With most news readers you can add as many RSS sites as you want to.  Some software will allow you to read a RSS news feed on your cell phone or PDA. 
Some of the features of RSS in comparison to e-mail is that there is no address list, the subscription is in your news reader.  You can add and subtract as many channels (sites) as you want at any time. And depending on the settings of your reader you can be updated to check anywhere from a few minutes apart to once a day or even longer. 
Sites that have a RSS news service will generally have one of the two orange graphics shown to the left. This should have the information about subscribing to their news.
Reelscene.Com will use a RSS 2.0 specification for it's RSS feed. It has been tested with Amphetadesk News Reader. There are other news readers available to chose from, just check to make sure it is compatible with your Operating System.

Theft of salamander crossing signs   Yet another theft of salamander crossing signs along the road. Police speculate that this series of thefts is the work of an Asian salamander ring trafficking in illicit salamander goods. Federal officials are looking into a connection between the thefts and overseas terrorist groups that plot to destabilize the city government and to instigate civil unrest.
Salamander population declines   A recent survey shows that the salamander population has declined within the last year. Surveyors refer to the 'squish data' collected of salamanders run over while attempting to cross the road. Local apartment and condo owners cite the reason for the decline as being a poor habitat of mud, slime, moss and no indoor plumbing nor basic cable service.

UCM lobbies State Legislators  -Montgomery, Ala.- Union of Costume Mothers officials continued in their lobbying efforts to pass a bill to improve their working conditions. Union leaders claim that their members are subject to little or no pay, long overtime hours, numerous on the job injuries, capricious management decisions and an indifferent clientele. Legislators said they would begin the bill review process after they figure out a way to work around the State Constitution.
Local production jeopardized   A Cleburne County junior high school theatrical production was severely jeopardize when the lone costume mother collapsed from the rigors of the job. The overworked mother was hospitalized with a combination of physical injuries, including an uncounted number of pinpricks in her fingers, and emotional exhaustion suffered from the constant berating from parents and school staff. With the lost of such a key position the cast of 7th and 8th grade students had to perform "Anne Of A Thousand Days" while clad in threadbare jeans and t-shirts decorated with Nike logos.
