Every year, fishermen in Taiji herd about 2,000 dolphins into a secluded bay, select several dozen for sale to aquariums and marine parks and harpoon the rest for meat, a practice long deplored by animal rights activists.(AFP/Graphic)

(Reuters) - Ennes Littrell (L) from Philadelphia stands on a deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with local residents June (C) and John Parker as the area awaits Hurricane Earl in Nags Head, North Carolina September 2, 2010. Hurricane Earl took aim at North Carolina on Thursday and was on track to lash its barrier islands with dangerous winds and pounding surf before cutting a path up the U.S. East Coast to Canada. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said the massive Category 3 storm on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale of intensity had top sustained winds of 125 mph (205 kph) after weakening slightly from its expected peak wind-strength early on Thursday.

Mount Nyiragongo is the ultimate symbol of death in Goma, the lakeside city it shadows and has overrun several times. Yet it's also a symbol of rebirth and resilience for a nation slowly emerging from war. In March, park rangers cleared Rwandan militias from its slopes and reopened the summit for the first time in a year and a half. (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)
