...that have taken off in the last couple of years. Pyra's Blogger site alone has 1 million subscribers and 200,000 active bloggers whom Nick Denton, founder of the U.K. Web news aggregator Moreover, sees as a rich source of news and info. Google, he predicts, will index blogs in real time alongside its news search engine, Google News. "It makes a lot of sense for them," says Denton. But Google already indexes blogs and doesn't need to buy them to do so in real time, says Danny Sullivan, editor of SearchEngineWatch.com. Instead they're evolving...

Using the number of sharks caught on longlines as an index of the number surviving in the wild, the Dalhousie team came up with some alarming figures. From 1986 to 2000, nearly all shark species may have declined at least 50%, with the populations of some approaching collapse. Tiger-shark populations are down 65%, the legendary white shark has fallen 79%, and the hammerhead is in the worst shape of all, down a staggering...
