...democratization of journalism: "Consumers are gravitating to the work of individual writers and voices, and away somewhat from the institutional brand," the Project's study proclaims. Websites like Global Post now allow individual journalists to become independent contractors, "in much the way photographers have operated for years at magazines." But the demise of an institutional framework to ensure quality and reliability would mean that consumers themselves would have to decide which journalists to trust. And already, there are growing doubts about "whether the generation in charge has the vision and the boldness to reinvent the industry ... [And] it is unclear...
...second quarter. The teams traded three goals apiece before the Hawks went on a 5-2 run to end the game.“We just couldn’t quite close the gap,” Farrar said. “You cannot allow botched counterattacks to result in an easy goal the other way. The Hartwick players are experienced, very good opportunists, and they’re going to make you pay.”Harvard had several chances to cut the lead but could not capitalize, and instead gave the opposition plenty of opportunities in transition.Many...
Some cootie-phobic students’ wishes are coming true: Many public schools are reverting to single-sex classrooms where boys and girls are segregated.

While the opening of federal funds to stem cells will lead to an expansion of research facilities, scientists will likely still only be permitted to use embryos that would otherwise be discarded by fertility clinics. The fact that Obama declined to state solid ethics guidelines does not mean...
Could marijuana be the answer to the economic misery facing California? Democratic state assemblyman Tom Ammiano thinks so. Ammiano introduced legislation last month that would legalize pot and allow the state to regulate and tax its sale - a move that could mean billions of dollars for the cash-strapped state. Pot is, after all, California's biggest cash crop, responsible for $14 billion a year in sales, dwarfing the state's second largest agricultural commodity - milk and cream - which brings in $7.3 billion a year, according to the most recent USDA statistics. The state's tax collectors estimate the bill...
