The Under-Reported News Items For 2006

In a slight variation on our weekly theme, this thread is for our readers to post news items that might have not gotten enough attention during the last year.

As usual, articles that fit under the topic of a fairly recent thread should be posted as comments there.

In order to make the articles as readable as possible, try to conform to the format described in the first of these weekly threads here.
