#32 [svn] News articles added on the bottom

Sometimes Yahoo changes the size of its RSS feed. AST then shrinks the number of articles it stores. When Yahoo increases the size again, by adding old items in, AST marks these old items as new. AST should recognize this pattern and mark old items that appear again as new. Another possible fix is to keep old items for X number of days. The latter method is likely not as reliable.

Fixed with svn 241. After some testing it appears to work
well. If the news is older than the last news in the
database, it is not added.
