Thursday, June 15, 2006 TRAVERSE CITY, Michigan (AP) -- Call it the return of the green slime.
Back in the 1960s, foul gobs of algae along Great Lakes shorelines made swimmers and sunbathers miserable before a crackdown on phosphorus pollution repelled the invasion. Now, the algae are mounting a comeback and controlling it may be tougher this time, according to the Michigan Environmental Council, an umbrella organization for a host of environmental and public interest organizations in the state. |

ABC Science Online Thursday, 15 June 2006 There's enough gold buried deep within the Earth's core to cover the entire land surface of the planet to a depth of half a metre, an Australian researcher says.
Professor Bernard Wood, a geologist from Macquarie University, in Sydney made his remarkable calculations based on research published in today's issue of the journal Nature. Wood and colleagues chart the early history of our Earth's development starting with the birth of the solar system more than 4.5 billion years ago. In particular they focus on the formation of Earth's molten metal core. |

Associated Press SEDONA, Ariz. (AP) - Hundreds of homes and businesses were threatened early Monday by a wildfire that blacked 1,000 acres in an unincorporated area of northern Arizona's scenic Oak Creek Canyon.
The fire started Sunday afternoon and spread quickly through the parched region, forcing the evacuation of about 400 homes and businesses in Oak Creek Canyon and another roughly 100 homes in five Sedona subdivisions. Fire crews were positioned Monday to try to protect homes from the fire, which had burned to within a mile of some of the buildings. There were no reports of any homes being damaged or destroyed but the potential remained. Comment: "Arizona burns"
