A story with good sourcing and a cohesive argument.

There are a number of problems with this article. The first is that there is no mention of Japan's overall homicide rates by means unrelated to guns--the reader has no way to compare homicide rates. A second problem has to do with how homicides are reported in Japan; homicides that are "crimes of passion" (jealous spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, and so on) are not included in homicide statistics. Additionally, here in the United States most gun homicides are committed in ghetto situations and involve drug-related battles over turf, vendettas, and gang loyalty. Japan does not have "ghettos" in the American sense.

This story is almost TWELVE YEARS OLD!!! Since when do we feature such ancient articles? That said, much of the information in the article has been superceded by subsequent research. Low-dose (certainly not fatal) doses of ecstasy, taken only occasionally, do not cause a longterm drop-off in serotonin receptors. Similarly, memory is not impacted for any length of time.

Full of entirely unsupported assertions, this story is remarkable mainly for its tone of resentment toward, and hatred of, white men. I am surprised anyone would consider this "journalism." Any commentator who pretends to know what motivates individuals lumped together as "white male conservatives" is immediately suspect.

A well-rounded story that references hard satellite data to correct the common misperception that all of the world's glaciers are rapidly receding. This misperception is partially the result a 2009 United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that mistakenly claimed Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035. Current methods of monitoring glacier melt have also improved--previous projections were based almost entirely on monitoring just a few low-altitude glaciers, which biased the estimate. Current observations are from the GRACE satellites, which directly measure ice loss, or gain, on all of the world's 200,000 glaciers.

I watched three of the short videos before giving up. This is one of the most disappointingly shallow stories I have ever seen. Lots COULD have been said about the 1% and how they benefit through an alliance between themselves and major players in the U.S. government. This story fell short of the mark and ended up explaining nothing.

A very clear exposition of the facts.

More than any other presentation I have seen, these charts tell the story of our present economic reality. Those who are upple-middle-class and above have profited disproportionately as their political influence, and the political influence of multinational corporations, have increased.

A single photograph really means nothing. Yes, the United States enjoyed a dry January. On the other hand, the European continent is buried in snow--neither fact counts for much in the larger discussion of climate change. This story is full of facile statements that have almost become cliche--NO real science.

This story is factually challenged. It refers to an annual rise in global sea level of 0.4 millimeters, which is 0.016 inches--about 1/64 of an inch. At that rate sea levels would rise only about 1.6 inches during the next century.Even those scientists who believe global warming will not be catastrophic would consider this estimate too low, since observed sea level rise during the past twenty years has been about 1/8 inch per year--the current rate of change would yield a sea level rise of about 12 inches during the next century.

This is "can't put it down" journalism that leaves one with a clear sense of the problem and all of its ramifications.

A remarkably superficial story that is guilty of the same type of data cherry-picking that it so blithely criticizes.

A story that supports the reality of warming because of increased carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, and which simultaneously supports the opinion held by many scientists that such warming will not be catastrophic during the foreseeable future, because the sun is now heading towards a "grand minimum" in its output.

The "Occupy" movement has been badly damaged by the appearance of "Black Bloc" anarchists in Oakland and at demonstrations nationwide. This article highlights the problem and mentions that among the anarchists we are sure to find agents provacateurs.

If you wonder why Ron Paul is proposing that the Department of Homeland Security be abolished, this article should provide a bit of insight. If this were an isolated incident, one might just laugh at the insanity of it all. Unfortunately this sort of thing happens all too often, and we are rapidly gaining a reputation as a nation that has lost perspective.

This article raises many issues, yet resolves nothing and leaves the reader hanging. The many questions include: 1./ Why did the police arrive at a family's house in an armored vehicle with heavily armed men wearing body armor to execute a search warrant in a marijuana-dealing case? 2../ Why did Jose Guerena not open the door himself instead of assuming, despite the "Police!" announcement, that his family was in danger? 3./ Why did the police immediately escalate by using a battering ram to break down the front door? 4./ Why, after the door was broken down, didn't Jose Guerena surrender with his hands up? 5./ Why does the story lean heavily in the direction of assuming that the police wantonly murdered Jose Guerena by ...

An excellent story that identifies exactly which corporate entities perpetrated the ongoing economic crash.

That Steve Jobs used psychedelics, including LSD, is not really news to anyone who has read much about him, yet it is important and relevant. The book, WHAT THE DOORMOUSE SAID, is quite good; anyone who thinks hippie culture was a passing phenomenon just hasn't been paying attention.

A fine editorial that underscores the severity of the problems we are facing as a global economy.

Not a great story, yet the subject matter is quite relevant. The facts clearly demonstrate that the fault line between the Left and Tea Partiers has nothing to do with race--it has everything to do with ideology.

A well-written, acerbic opinion piece that gets to the heart of the economic crisis still unfolding worldwide. Think the worst is over?....Wait until the benefits run out completely, then think again.

An excellent and highly relevent story. Incontrovertible evidence has been presented at repeated intervals during the past forty years that voting machines have been routinely rigged. This most recent story discusses work that was conducted by highly reputable researchers at Argonne National Laboratory. All that is missing is context: voting machines are not only vulnerable to hacking, they are routinely hacked in ways that sway important elections--including presidential elections.
