A new research paper seeks to answer a riddle for publishers, editors and even readers: when does new news become old news? In the case of a news article on the Internet, the answer is surprisingly long: 36 hours on average, according to the paper, ''The Dynamics of Information Access on the Web,'' which appeared in the June issue of Physical Review E, the journal of the American Physical Society.

INTERNATIONAL 3-14 Israel Expands Assault's Reach Israel expanded its reach to northern Lebanon, conducting airstrikes against coastal radar installations it said were targeting its warships. It also struck roads in the north an east of the country, with one attack killing at least 16 civilians, most of them children. And Hezbollah forces continued their rocket barrage into northern Israel. 1 The raid into Israel from southern Lebanon by the Shiite militia group Hezbollah has provided the new government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert a deeper political consensus, allowing him to prosecute a war that is widely supported by the Israeli people. 1 After Syria withdrew from Lebanon, Hezbollah found itself at a crossroads, between joining Lebanese politics and clinging to its militia. With its attack on Israel, Hezbollah seems to have made its choice. 1 U.N. Decries Missile Tests The United Nations Security Council condemned North Korea's missile launches and demanded that Pyongyang suspend its ballistic missile program in a resolution that was weakened at the 11th hour to forestall a veto by China. 8 Frustration at Trade Talks After face-to-face meetings preceding the annual meeting of the world's largest economic powers, President Bush and President Vladimir V. Putin said they failed to come to an agreement on giving Russia accession to the World Trade Organization, leaving Mr. Putin frustrated. 1 Raid on Iraqi Olympic Meeting About 60 masked gunmen wearing government-style camouflage uniforms stormed a meeting of the National Olympic Committee of Iraq and the country's top sports administrators, abducting at least 30 people, including the Olympic committee chairman, the police said. One of the president's bodyguards was killed. 12 NATIONAL 15-21 Packing Pills for Camp Between a quarter and a half of the youngsters at any given summer camp take daily prescription medications, experts say. Behavior management and psychiatric medications are now so common that nurses who dispense them no longer try to avoid stigma by pretending they are vitamins. 1 Difficult Path for Lieberman These are down days for Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, the onetime Democratic nominee for vice president who, six years later, finds himself fighting to save his career in the face of an all-out effort by antiwar activists in his own party to dislodge him. 1 Deadly Vermont Gorge At least 20 people have died and hundreds have been injured while swimming in Huntington Gorge in Vermont over the past four decades. How to change that has been a matter of debate. 15 Bush May Veto Stem Cell Bill The Senate plans to take up a measure approved by the House that would loosen the research restrictions on stem cell use that Mr. Bush outlined in 2001. If the bill passes, as expected, Mr. Bush says he will veto it. 18 SCIENCE Shuttle Leaves Space Station The space shuttle Discovery detached from the International Space Station, slipping away from the research outpost after more than a week of joint operations. 19 NEW YORK/REGION 23-28 Turmoil in Wake of Blast More than 12 apartments near the East 62nd Street town house that exploded on Monday have been declared off limits, and the tenants are discovering that the explosion was only the beginning of a draining and prolonged process. 23 After the Floods, a Struggle Almost three weeks after floodwaters swept through parts of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, a vast recovery effort that government officials say could end up costing $1 billion or more is just beginning. 23 OBITUARIES 29 John Spencer A three-time world-champion snooker player, he was 71. 29 Chess 28 Weather 30 TV Section 2

INTERNATIONAL A3-12 Israel Bombards Lebanon After Hezbollah Hits Haifa The Lebanese militia Hezbollah unleashed its deadliest missile yet on Israel, killing eight people in the city of Haifa. Israeli warplanes struck targets in southern Beirut and southern Lebanon, killing 45 people and wounding more than 100, according to local reports. The impact of the deaths on both sides and the missile strike marked a qualitative and psychological escalation of the conflict on its fifth day. A1 The Lebanese militia Hezbollah fired 10 powerful rockets -- a kind it has never unleashed before -- which traveled more than 20 miles over northern Israel before slamming down in Haifa. The attack confirmed what Israeli security chiefs have warned for years: that Hezbollah has large, powerful rockets able to reach major Israeli cities. A8 Arabs Publicly Blame Hezbollah Arab governments are taking the rare step of publicly blaming Hezbollah. Saudi Arabia, supported by Jordan, Egypt, several Gulf states and the Palestinian Authority, chastised Hezbollah for ''unexpected, inappropriate and irresponsible acts'' at an emergency Arab League summit meeting in Cairo. A1 Tacit U.S. Approval for Israel The Bush administration appeared to give Israel tacit approval to cripple Hezbollah, casting the conflict in the Middle East in terms of a wider war on terrorism. That was a central theme of both public and private statements from senior American officials, even as President Bush and his aides issued a statement including a request for restraint in Israel's attacks on Lebanon. A10 Group of 8 Focuses on Oil The world leaders at a Group of 8 summit meeting issued a communiqué on energy policy that touched lightly on alternatives to fossil fuels, like biomass and wind power, but focused mostly on how to bring more oil to the market. A11 Sunnis Shift View of U.S. in Iraq As sectarian violence soars, many Sunni Arab political and religious leaders once staunchly opposed to the American presence in Iraq are now saying they need American troops to protect them from the rampages of Shiite militias and Shiite-run government forces. A1 Iraqi Officials' Safety Shaken Gunmen in vehicles resembling those used by Iraqi security forces kidnapped Adil Mohamed al-Qazaz, president of one of Iraq's state-owned oil companies in Baghdad, an Oil Ministry spokesman said. The abduction underscored the danger that high-level Iraqi officials face and the power of criminal groups who strike at them seemingly at will. A12 2nd Mexican Recount Protest For the second time in a little over a week, thousands of supporters of the leftist presidential candidate, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, filled Mexico City's central plaza to demonstrate their support for his demand for a recount in the disputed election. A3 NATIONAL A13-15 Hospitals and Vendors Are Under Scrutiny While the financial relationship between doctors and drug companies has come under intense scrutiny, much less is known about how hospital executives interact with companies that sell them drugs, medical equipment and financial services. A1 Aid Arrives for Gulf Coast Nearly $10 billion in federal aid is starting to flow into the hands of people in Mississippi and Louisiana who lost their houses in last year's hurricanes, the culmination of a year of political battling and bargaining between the states and Washington. A1 A Reward for Arizona Voters A proposal to award $1 million in every general election to one lucky Arizona resident simply for voting -- no matter for whom -- has qualified for the November ballot. Mark Osterloh, left, a political gadfly who is behind the initiative, is promoting it with the slogan ''Who wants to be a Millionaire? Vote!'' A1 Plan Cuts Medicare Payments The Bush administration says it plans sweeping changes in Medicare payments to hospitals that could cut payments by 20 percent to 30 percent for many complex treatments and new technologies. The changes, the biggest since the current payment system was adopted in 1983, are meant to improve the accuracy of payment rates. A13 SCIENCE/HEALTH A Diabetes- Alzheimer's Link? Several new studies suggest that diabetes increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease, adding to a store of evidence that links the disorders. The studies involve only Type 2 diabetes, the most common type, which is usually related to obesity. A15 Discovery Gets the All-Clear The space shuttle Discovery is coming home, buoyed by positive tests and inspections indicating the spacecraft is in good shape for a landing in Florida following a 13-day mission to the International Space Station. A13 OBITUARIES B7 Winthrop Paul Rockefeller A lieutenant governor of Arkansas who followed his family's twin traditions of philanthropy and politics in the state adopted by his father, he was 57. B7 Dr. James A. Nicholas A pioneer in the treatment of athletic injuries who was best known for performing four knee operations that saved the celebrated career of the Jets quarterback Joe Namath, he was 85. B7 Carrie Nye A stage, film and television actress and a fixture at the Williamstown Theater Festival, she was 69. B7 NEW YORK/REGION B1-6 Bloomberg Commission Addresses Poverty in City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's Commission on Economic Opportunity has been focused on how to solve the problem of rising poverty in a city as wealthy as New York. They found that the solution is employment, and rather than pumping benefits into households, they want the government to use more of its resources to allow people to enter the work force -- and stay in it. B1 Church Divided Over Gays Though All Angels Church in New York City is a theologically conservative branch of the Episcopal Church, it serves a liberal diocese. But the church has joined the national battle over the promotion of a gay bishop, and this month will take a major step toward cleaving itself from the denomination by formally joining the Anglican Communion Network. B1 WNYC Relocating Next Year After broadcasting for the last 82 years from the Municipal Building in Manhattan, WNYC, which has the largest audience of any public radio station in the United States, is moving. No longer will its 18 journalists be jammed into a shoebox of a newsroom, and guests will wait in an actual green room, not out in the hall at the water cooler. B1 Program for Disabled Ailing New York State has prevented thousands of disabled people from receiving walkers and wheelchairs by delaying or denying their requests in violation of state and federal rules, according to an investigation by the State Assembly. B5 SPORTSMONDAY D1-8 400th Save for Rivera Mariano Rivera, left, of the Yankees, earned the 400th save of his career in a pressurized 6-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox . The play concluded what may have been the team's best weekend of the season and it came against the defending World Series champions before 54,781 fans at Yankee Stadium. D1 Injuries on Tour de France Two riders in the Tour de France, a Belgian cyclist with the French Cofidis team and a Spaniard on the Saunier Duval-Prodir team, ended their tours with a visit to the hospital after violent falls some 25 miles from the end of the stage, which was won by Pierrick Fedrigo. D1 ARTS E1-8 Long-Term 'Talent' at NBC ''America's Got Talent,'' the singing, dancing, juggling and ventriloquizing new reality talent competition, has posted solid ratings in each of its four outings on NBC this summer. But the numbers, while strong, have been just tenuous enough to leave some doubt about whether it can break through as a genuine hit in the regular season. E1 BUSINESS DAY C1-12 Airbus Plans New Project Airbus, desperate to pull out of the worst downturn in its history, plans to disclose details of a radically redesigned midsize plane, a $10 billion project that will compete with Boeing's 787, executives said.

C1 Disney Alters Movie Division Walt Disney Studios will soon announce a major reorganization of its live-action movie division, which will alter the way Disney movies are made and marketed, according to several people briefed on the plan.

When a network evening newscast passes the anchor's baton, viewers have come to expect an overhauled set, music and graphics. But for Sept. 5, when Katie Couric takes over on ''The CBS Evening News,'' the network is planning more widespread changes, including fanning the newscast out across different media, including radio and the Web, to capture a wider audience. Taking questions from more than 200 television critics gathered here on Sunday for their semiannual meeting, Ms. Couric and Sean McManus, president of CBS News and Sports, outlined some of what Mr. McManus calls ''expansive and in many ways unprecedented'' changes that will come when Ms. Couric takes over from Bob Schieffer and becomes the first female sole anchor of a major network newscast.
