...walking shark may sound like a mutant nightmare, but the creature's discovery was a scientific dream. The epaulette shark-actually a shy, 1-m-long bottom-feeder-is one of more than 50 species of fish, shrimp and coral previously unknown to science that researchers from the environmental NGO Conservation International (CI) reported discovering off the Bird's Head peninsula of Indonesia's Papua province. Last year, a CI team uncovered dozens of new bird and plant species in Papua's Foja Mountains. This time, the group's study of the region's equally rich waters left its marine...
...local audiences. As well as selling himself, Irwin was promoting ideas-narrow ones, to be sure-about Australia: a land of dangers populated by simple, earthy people. To U.S. viewers, Irwin was a reprise of the Paul Hogan of the late '80s. The incessant references to Crocodile Dundee, shrimp on the barbie, Foster's and koalas that Australians in America endured in those years were double-edged. Yes, they were tiresome clich?s. But at least Americans knew something about the land Down Under and expressed curiosity and warmth toward...
...article, "Noodling together," about the intersection of Italian and Chinese food in Hong Kong, was interesting, but the notion that Hong Kong kids are "pestering their parents for 'Italian wontons' (ravioli)" seems to have dropped from the sky.

The reference to the "shared use of thick tomato sauce as the basis of many dishes" in Italian and Chinese cuisine was also puzzling. Go to any Cantonese restaurant, and you will be hard-pressed to find a dish whose...
...COAST OF ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—All I could see on the smooth water was the uncertain reflection of the Sea Hawk’s lights and the faraway glow of five shrimp trawlers like this one. I looped my leg over the edge of the boat, breathed in the breeze that was still hot past midnight. Except for Chris, the captain, and his deck hand Jacqui, I was alone and miles away from the shores of Florida.Chris was as small as a boy, though he was 41. On another shrimp boat, a battery exploded in his face...
...confessions: I cleaned my plate of the shrimp salad. It was a too-busy mixture of flavors, but the lettuce was clean; the shrimp were well seasoned and not overcooked; and the dressing wasn't too heavy. I didn't care for the Bourbon Street steak, but I ate most of a "Veggie Patch Pizza" even though it dishonored the very idea of pizza since the "ultra-thin" crust turned out to be a tortilla. I went back to the Jamestown Applebee's even after I had what I needed for this piece...
