Yet most sports blogs are made up of other news announcements and rumors. Kent Evans had a decidedly different take when he started his blog, www.WorldOfSportsInfo.com.

"Initially, I pretty much wanted to keep up on current news," began Evans. "Then I realized that a blog could be shaped into something much more."

In an exclusive analysis by The Global Language Monitor (http://www.LanguageMonitor.com), the worldwide media was found to abound in Apocalyptic-type terminology in its coverage of the unfolding disaster of Hurricane Katrina in the American Gulf States.

These alarmist references are coming across the spectrum of print and electronic media, and the internet," said Paul JJ Payack, president of GLM. The world appears stunned that the only remaining super power has apparently been humbled, on its own soil, by the forces of nature."

The global media are mesmerized by the constant bombardment of television images of apparently rampaging, out-of-control elements, apparently in control of a good part of New Orleans, as well as the inability of the authorities to keep their own people fed, sheltered, evacuated, and, even, from dying on the street....
