as for myself, i don't care for that google toolbar. couple of reasons that aren't relevant here. i set out to find the URL for the actual news portal, and that's where it led me.. figured i would post it for the benefit of any lurkers.

i have my bookmarks fairly well organized but will look at and maybe consider powermarks. always welcome tips for browsing.. thx again

Since we are supposed to be talking about Websites here, I'll add another (or two or three).

I've become a real fan of internet music. With a cable modem, good speakers and a subwoofer, computer music has become hard to beat, whether from your own CDs or from an internet streaming source.

I find movie score music makes a great working background (until you start to wonder what film the good music is from). If you like film scores, check out streamingsoundtracks.com
It also plays listener requests (first come, first serve). I use WinAmp as my player here.

If any of you here are into scanner radios -- not many people are, and my wife hates scanners -- there is a Yahoo e-group that specializes in finding online scanners to listen to. Big city, small town, doesn't matter. Several group members netcast their own streams. Posts may be something like: "tornado touched down in area, listen to operations at [URL].

If this appeals, check out: groups.yahoo.com
