This type of thing has been solved quite wonderfully in google reader.

Newest entries are on top, each entry has "read" parameter, by default
only unread are shown once you "scroll" trough a message (it gets a
thin blue border highlight) and after a momemnt i becomes "read" and
will not show up after you switch to a different view (reload).
Ofsource if you search all entries show up and if the stream is empty
a nice text shown "no new entries View all?" or we can fade all and
bring them in if user starts scrolling through "past notices".
