Good science websites?

I read Science News until a few years ago when I allowed my subscription to elapse.
I now get my science news scattered around the web.
Could anyone recommend a good science website that keeps up with the latest news but is written for knowledgeable laymen.

Thanks.

6. Nah. Sometimes the obvious is the hardest thing to think of.

I use the site myself sometimes. It's a good digest of stuff.
