| Harbor seals are weak signal researchers extraordinare!
This article reports on recent studies showing that harbor
seals track their prey by using their wiskers to follow
the swirling vortices that the fish leave behind. |

| "This article addresses three fundamental
ways in which the Internet could help in the move towards
a more environmentally sustainable world. The Internet can
improve our capability to understand the science of environmental
degradation and communicate that knowledge to public and
private decision makers. It can also improve environmental
policy by increasing international equity and participation
in the policy development processes. Finally, it can help
decrease resource waste and associated pollution by improving
the efficiency economic activity. The exploitation of these
fundamental opportunities is not predestined however, and
will require an ongoing elaboration of the Internet's role
in global environmental sustainability." |

| Schneier argues that "Security and privacy
are not two sides of an equation. This association is simplistic
and largely fallacious. The best ways to incease security
are not at the expense of privacy and liberty." Seems
the White House doesn't
agree. |

| "All astronomy data and literature will
soon be online and accessible via the Internet. The community
is building the Virtual Observatory, an organization of
this worldwide data into a coherent whole that can be accessed
by anyone, in any form, from anywhere. The resulting system
will dramatically improve our ability to do multi-spectral
and temporal studies that integrate data from multiple instruments.
The Virtual Observatory data also provide a wonderful base
for teaching astronomy, scientific discovery, and computational
science." |
