...Oaxaca state health minister Martin Vasquez tells TIME he pressed for further analysis and sent more samples - which then tested positive for flu. A week later, Lezana received word in a teleconference with Canadian officials that Gutierrez's cause of death, and the strange cause of illness for hundreds of other patients showing up in Mexican clinics and hospitals, was A/H1N1. Lezana concedes that Mexican labs did not then have the rare and expensive form of PCR and RT-PCR analysis - a means of identifying a virus' genetic makeup - to pinpoint such an unusual strain. (They have such analysis...
...four came in third. On Sunday, the Radcliffe lightweights took the opportunity to scrimmage against visiting lightweight crews from Western Ontario and Queens in Toronto. In remarkable fashion, the first eight again went on to win every race while the second varsity pulled off solid performances against the two Canadian crews. “I think the racing went really well,” Kharrazi said. “Again, [we’re] using every race opportunity to get faster.” With these wins, both the lightweight and heavyweight squads find themselves in a good position going...

It will probably sell its most prized assets to chief rivals, including Nokia Siemens Networks and Avaya...
...their slain mothers, to sell as pets. Those who are spared this fate are left to cope with a habitat that is shrinking daily, as agribusiness firms continue their relentless drive to turn Kalimantan's forests into palm-oil plantations. "I cannot convey the horror of it," says Canadian primatologist Birute Galdikas, a protégé of the late naturalist Louis Leakey and the world's leading authority on orangutans...
