Goldfish a threat in the wild
An illegal gang of goldfish is hanging out in the old farm pond on the University of Maine at Augusta campus.
"I haven't got a clue how they got in. I'd say there's probably more than a couple of hundred in there," said Peter St. Michael, director of the school's buildings and grounds.
The small man-made pond —roughly 50-feet by 50-feet — is also home to hornpout, golden shiners and large-mouthed bass. The latter species was introduced in July by the state Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife.

The plate first appeared in 1903 on a Napier car owned by the then Earl Russell. Since then it has had a variety of owners keen on "personalised" plates but in the last few years has slipped from view.

Svay Pak does not figure in any guidebook, but by late afternoon the squalid shanty town on the outskirts of the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, is thronged with Western men. The tourists lounge on plastic chairs in the shade, drinking Angkor beer and surveying the scenery: young girls, barely 11 or 12, wearing low-cut tops and come-hither smiles.
