...several forces pulling at the Hit Single these days, with the convenience of myTunes reintroducing our short attention spans to the full-length LP and FM radio’s influence dwindling in college because none of us drive. Pop music now has to find other ways to seep into our consciousness—to find new, pulsing veins through which to get us addicted and to get these songs into our heads. I won’t claim to know how they do it, but Billboard must have its ways—because as slow-moving and tiresome...
...light of such an amazing championship, but it also makes some sense. Painful losses-like the Aaron Boone moment of 2003-often seem like the relative that no one wants to talk about. Chalk up enough of those, as the Red Sox have, and the frustration is bound to seep out somewhere. For the Boston fans, the Yankees plot line adds to the sense of justice and fairness that so many felt after winning it all.

While black will never exactly be dethroned, a new hue is starting to seep through the design world: aqua. On runways in New York City last month tipping the spring 2005 look, influential designers like Narciso Rodriguez and Michael Kors splashed aqua onto everything from bustiers to fur boleros.

The script is also far less subtle than the original. Collins' Fosco is a fascinating creation - obese, aging and yet with a mind of such deviousness that Marian is spellbound. "He looks," she writes in her diary, "like a man who could tame anything...
...farfetched as you might think. It's called a prediction market, based on the notion that a marketplace is a better organizer of insight and predictor of the future than individuals are. Once confined to research universities, the idea of markets working within companies has started to seep out into some of the nation's largest corporations. Companies from Microsoft to Eli Lilly and Hewlett-Packard are bringing the market inside, with workers trading futures contracts on such "commodities" as sales, product success and supplier behavior. The concept: a work force contains vast amounts of untapped, useful information that...
