BOSTON (AP) Fearing a growing assault on the teaching of Darwin's theories, a group of textbook authors launched a campaign in defense of evolution education. This comes as some public school districts consider softening their evolution curricula. "As scientists and teachers, we find it unacceptable that school districts considering our books for adoption would be encouraged to choose one book over another based on the perception that teachers should avoid the topic of evolution."

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - Killer ants on Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean are decimating the island's renowned crab population. The "crazy ant", so-called due to its frenetic movements, is attacking the famed red crab population at a phenomenal rate. The crazy ant, or anoplolepis gracilipes, is thought to have been brought to Christmas Island by west African traders 50 years ago. About 100 million red crabs, some weighing up to a pound, live on the island, an Australian territory. In the past 18 months, ants have attacked the crabs, killing about 3 million. The sudden carnage by the ants is a mystery, but might be linked to El Nino. See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2558948947-4fe : Do you like to tear up crabs when you go crazy?

VATICAN CITY (AP) The Vatican has reiterated its refusal to allow women to serve as deacons, a role that would allow them to preach at Mass and help celebrate liturgical services.
