Today I learned that we lost one of the most talented bloggers out there, Tanta from the blogsite Calculated Risk. Tanta had been battling cancer. She died aged 47 and will be missed not only by those who knew her but by her many readers and fans.

Today I added My News Feed to the blog’s sidebar, so that anyone visiting the site can also see the news items that we post once daily as a part of my RSS Feed and Newsletter.
