            The purpose of this feed is to collect from credible sources the links to academic articles and general news items regarding HLS and then distribute them through one medium to interested persons.  The 5-multicolored logo above represents the HLS Threat Advisory System, and each headline presented through this feed will be preceded by this logo.  Headlines from the first 2 feeds in July 2005 appear at the very bottom of this page in order to demonstrate the type of content typically distributed through the feed.
            Rich site summary, or RSS, technology allows webmasters to send new content directly to the RSS reader of internet users.  RSS keeps users from having to return to so many websites to get information they want; instead, the information can come to them from many sources to just one place.  Right click on this link, HLS  RSS/XML, and select "Copy Shortcut."  Then paste that shortcut into your news reader that supports RSS or XML feeds.  If you are unable to do that, then the direct RSS feed address is   http://workingpapers.org/hls.rss  . 
            Two news readers and other sources for explaining RSS technology follows.  Clicking on this Google link provides excellent sources for novices who wish to learn more about RSS feeds.
            The feed sent from this website has been tested on the news feed programs Awasu and Feed Reader.  Awasu is a Japanese word that means "join together."  It is one of the few readers that supports descriptions in the feed.  This is important because the annotations of the HLS articles and news links come through the reader as a "description."  You may download this 3.2mb rss reader from Working Paper Sites by clicking here.  Awasu is also located on its parent website at http://www.awasu.com.
            Feed Reader is another description-supported reader, and it is by far the easiest to use.  However, it does not work well across all platforms and has far fewer options that Awasu.  Go to www.feedreader.com and look for the "Alpha 2.5 Build 610" if you want a simple alternative, or try to find the latest build for the program. I have been using the 2.5 version since 2003.
