...Brother is not only watching you; in Barking and Dagenham, Big Brother wants a word. The disembodied voices of authority offering advice and warnings that now issue as if from thin air in the hardscrabble east London borough are, in fact, talking CCTV cameras - the latest high-tech weapon in the war on littering, graffiti, vandalism and other antisocial behavior. Sixteen of the borough's 84 surveillance cameras have been wired for sound, making London's first video monitoring network with a broadcasting capacity. A second borough, Southwark, will soon adopt the same system...
...repeated--and three NCAA championships. Knight, 67, who led the U.S. to Olympic gold in 1984, emphasized teamwork, never broke NCAA rules and ran clean programs with high graduation rates. In a sudden midseason move, the combative Hall of Famer resigned on Feb. 4 as head coach at Texas Tech, his home since being fired by Indiana. Knight, who is succeeded by his son Pat, told colleagues he was tired. But he was also following a tradition of writing his own script. Last year, when he broke the record for game wins, the song he chose to play over...
...social networks herald the end of search? I wouldn't go that far. What may be in danger, however, is the serendipitous nature of search - for example, the gratuitous queries that we type into Google while we're on hold with India, waiting for tech support to solve our issue du jour.

...another beer, you were certain to miss a key play or substitution. A new poll in California, for instance, that showed Romney pulling ahead. Or another press conference in which McCain called out his chief rival as a big spender without backbone. Or the stump speech at Georgia Tech, where Romney told everyone that McCain would collapse the "house that Reagan built." Or a supporter, like former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who blurted out at a Nashville pancake place that Republican "bigwigs" were "lining up like lemmings" behind McCain. Or another endorsement. Or another television ad buy. Or another press...
...surge's successes and limits are both plainly visible on al-Kindy today. A well-stocked pharmacy has reopened. A new cell-phone store selling the latest in high-tech gadgets opened in December. A trickle of shoppers moved along the sidewalks on a recent chilly morning as a grocer, who asked that his name not be used, surveyed the local business climate. "Things are improving slightly," he said. "But not as much as we hoped." Indeed, if al-Kindy is coming back, it is doing so slowly, unevenly?and only with a lot of well-armed help. Sandbagged checkpoints...
