But in the age of Twitter, electronic word-of-mouth is immediate, as early moviegoers tweet their opinions on a film to millions of "followers." Instant-messaging can make or break a film within 24 hours. Friday is the new weekend...
What's the future? A strong economy, with a population that has all of its basic needs met. All of our institutions restored.

While there's been less research on drugs that manipulate glutamate - perhaps because it can be modulated fairly easily with nonprescription amino acids like N-acetylcysteine - the new study suggests the neurotransmitter may play...
While his role as the driving force behind the Jackson family's success has never been in question, father Joe Jackson's parenting - especially with Michael - has long been a subject of scrutiny and controversy. So it's all the more surprising that the driven patriarch is now working to forge a larger role for himself in the lives of Michael's three children...
