...said another strain of the virus may have killed a seagull in a northern coastal town. The discoveries fanned fears that it could travel west and infect the European Union's estimated ?22-billion-a-year egg-and-poultry industry, or mutate into a strain that leaps the species barrier to humans. Agricultural authorities in the Netherlands ordered farmers to keep some 5 to 6 million free-range hens indoors. Veterinary experts from the E.U.'s 25 member states expressed "cause for serious concern," but stopped short of imposing a general ban on keeping poultry outdoors; the immediate risk that...
...move by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority last year to expand no-fishing "green" zones from 4% to 33% of the reef won plaudits from scientists and conservationists, but few friends in the fishing industry. Despite a consultation process that attracted 30,000 submissions, fishermen say they were ignored by the authority - which is why they're keenly awaiting a review of its powers, promised by the federal Coalition government in return for Fishing Party preferences in last October's election.

"I was cold, but suddenly I didn't care. It was like there's this barrier around you, just you and God, like you could bawl your eyes out and nobody would care." It was the moment that Tristan had been waiting for. He had met God, and his heart told him what his mind couldn't: that he would definitely see his grandfather again someday...
...confessed to throwing a live grenade at George W. Bush during the U.S. President's May speech in Georgia; with terrorism; in Tbilisi. Arutyunian's grenade failed to explode after landing about 30 meters from the podium where Bush and Georgian Prime Minister Mikhail Saakashvili stood behind a bulletproof barrier. Arutyunian, who is being held in custody awaiting trial, says Bush was "interfering in Georgia's foreign affairs" and maintains that his attempt on the President's life is not a punishable offense...
