...collection of rickety cages, the zoo was modernized in 2001 to feature "tropical-forest" dwellings. These allow visitors to see the animals at all times, yet still provide spaces to which the 1,167 furred, feathered and scaled residents can retreat. In the underwater "riverine forest," part of the Southeast Asian collection, you come face to face with a lazily floating false gavial, a narrow-snouted crocodile-like reptile. A "second-growth forest" houses flying foxes; these huge bats, which can have wingspans of up to 1.8 m, hang directly above your head. The lemur habitat, in the Madagascar section...
...landscape of Fallujah today isn't encouraging. Some rebuilding is taking place, and three-quarters of the houses have been reconnected to the electrical grid. But neighborhoods in the northeast and southeast--the two main entry points for last year's invasion--are filled with rubble piles and buildings whose top stories have been blasted off.

Although Beijing is traditionally secretive about disease within its borders, Guan's network of mainland Chinese contacts and his secondary position at Shantou University in Guangdong province have helped his team gather biological samples from more than 100,000 birds in the region over the past five years, more than any other scientist...
...thoughts and just being redundant and stale. Perhaps it has just been a particularly uneventful time on campus lately, but is there really nothing else for us to spend our time and energy being concerned about? Isn’t there a huge hurricane ripping through Mexico and the Southeast right now? Aren’t there a whole host of political problems—major nominations and indictments—for us to philosophize about?
