Taking On Hard Life Instead of Hard News

For all her friendliness and charm, Jane Pauley still has some of a news anchor's stilted self-consciousness in her talk show.

TOOELE, UTAH -- ItÂs not    the kind of "breaking news" that NASA wanted.

Don't take the headlines too seriously, because they're long on facts, short on truth, and they just don't matter.

By ALICIA ANSTEAD OF THE NEWS STAFF  If you're a hard-core hiker who lives by a "because-it's-there" philosophy, I can pretty much assure that this isn't your kind of adventure story.

Getting the future right isn't as important as feeling right about the future.

Four times, I have been diagnosed with life-threatening diseases. Each time, the news stopped me cold; it landed me in a hospital; it forced me to rearrange my life and rethink my responsibilities while my body was battered by drugs and surgery.

Nothing gives your principles a workout like a business trip. Taking a stand for your beliefs isnât easy when youâre outside of your comfort zone, but the rewards can be significant.

Some habits aren't meant to be broken.

It is not something most of us like to think about unless we have to. But a Government report published today will force anyone expecting to enjoy a comfortable retirement to sit up and face what has been billed as an inevitable crisis.

It's not very often that you see something new in News.  News is not exactly new technology, but when personal computers came along, and then widespread networking, it created a whole new playing field for news, that has shaken things up for most of my life. Change comes in fits at starts. First there was the web, then RSS, and now I think we're on the cusp of another bit of change. If you want to see what I think it looks like, check out the home page of nytimesriver.com. But that's not the end of the story. A flat completely chronologic view of news probably isn't enough. And earlier this month at a meeting in NY, two engineers at the NY Times set me off in a new direction, with a very simple bit of advice. They told me to look in the HTML source code of their stories. When I did I saw they had applied a taxonomy to their news flow, and this opened the door to what I would like to show you today -- an outline view of the news.  http://nytimesriver.com/outline/  I believe it's fairly self-explanatory.  The topics are arranged in order of frequency in today's news.  In a previous rendering, the stories were shown in a histogram, but this view I think is much better. You can still see how many pieces relate to the indicated topic, but by clicking on the plus next to each topic, you can actually see the headlines and descriptions, and if you want more you can click through to the full stories. (Initially, the outline was sorted by frequency, with the most frequently occurring keyword appearing first. I changed it, based on feedback, to be alphabetic.) Now, there's still more to do, I showed this to a number of people during the weekend and got some excellent clues on ideas to pursue next, and I will do that. Further, in the process of exploring this, I've been shown the work of other developers who discovered the keywords on their own, and one in particular is very interesting. I'm hoping that these projects will come public so I can show them to you and tell you what I think they mean. This is what I live for, professionally -- the sense of being somewhere with great unexplored potential, a virgin landscape of the intellect. I'm never happier than when I get to play in such a place.  Om Malik: A new way to view news. Please comment on the screen shot page.

Preparing for the worst isn't a bad idea--even in the best of times.

The transition from teen to young adult can be difficult enough on its own, but imagine making that change in front of a fickle public.
