Yahoo! not only keeps the advantage over Google in Japan, but increases in the last year. The source is a Comscore release, that only sizes search market. Should be noted that in Japan Yahoo! is a joint venture with Softbank, a japanese telecomunications and media corporation. Maybe Carol Bartz (new Y! SEO) should take a look at the international market, too.

Yahoo!, still NÂș1 in Japan
Most dangerous streets in the world, Irak; Second, El Salvador
El Salvador is, after Irak, the most dangerous place on Earth (Honduras ranks fourth). As it is the case of DC, in El Salvador weapons are widespread: almost 10% of the population -basically men- carry guns in the streets. No wonder why many restaurants and shops display a door sticker of "Guns forbidden here" next to the one about dogs.

How 'stranger' euros invaded France
This paper published in the bulletin of the demographic National Institute of Paris shows in which areas of France is easier to find euros coined outside the country --so, brought by foreigners-- and the changes in this trend between june and september 2002. That is the year when the physical coins and banknotes entered circulation in the EU.
The paper, in french, shows the result of consulting nearly a million people between these months.
