...members of the community vote; the story rises on the page with the number of votes. Memeorandum, which currently focuses on politics and tech, combines traditional news and blogs to help track and understand the web conversation about current top news.As intriguing as these experiments are, they only hint at what’s coming to help manage the news torrent. We will need tools that combine machine and human intelligence, reputation, and popularity.Readers and viewers will also need to bring a more sophisticated approach to interpreting media reports and news sources. When any website can be made to look...
...slicing the intricate mesh of hip-hop’s connections into easy “lineages” of progressive influence and success, as a conventional exhibition format is likely to do, is antithetical to the genre’s amorphous structure. Underground pioneers the Wu-Tang Clan hint at this dilemma when they ask nostalgically, “Can It Be All So Simple”, eventually breaking down “fly clichés” and easy street/smart dichotomies in favor of an epic, all-American mythos that draws on everything from pulp comic books...
...world's toughest antidoping legislation, including a unique law that makes a single use of banned performance-enhancing substances a felony. Torino also happens to be home to Raffaele Guariniello, Italy's most expert and aggressive prosecutor of alleged doping scofflaws, who was bound to pounce on any hint of an infraction.

Her manner is almost shy, but she exudes a palpable self-possession. "I thought," she says, with a hint of wistfulness to her smile, "as much as I've loved staying in the 19th century, maybe it would be interesting to have a change." Stark as the differences are, the acute sense of period and themes of lesbian love and relationships unfolding that distinguished Waters' earlier work get full...
...just the rise in sea level that makes the surprising news out of Greenland so disturbing. That is only one more hint that climate change may hinge on tipping points, where relatively small changes in temperature can suddenly cause disproportionately large effects. In Greenland, it's meltwater greasing the way for massive outflows of ice. In Antarctica, which has one ice sheet the size of Greenland's and another nearly 10 times as large, the same sort of leverage could eventually come into play, with even greater consequences. Yet another tipping point could come as ice sheets shrink...
