CNN.com - Bush military bird flu role slammed - Oct 5, 2005 Bush said aggressive action would be needed to prevent a potentially disastrous U.S. outbreak of the disease that is sweeping through Asian poultry and which experts fear could mutate to pass between humans. Bush said he had spoken to Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, about work towards a vaccine, but that means of prevention remained a distant hope. Bush began discussing the possibility of changing the law banning the military from participating in police-type activity last month, in the aftermath of the government's sluggish response to civil unrest following Hurricane Katrina. www.cnn.com /2005/POLITICS/10/05/bush.reax/index.html   (1113 words)

Bird in the bush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." The two birds are of course objectively worth almost twice as much as the bird one has -- if you can catch them that is. The proverb is a warning to the imprudent and thus reinforces the irrational risk averse tendancy of most persons. Due to the phrasing of the sentence (and the emphasis given to the position of the bird) it is plain that it is 'not a paradox' -- there is no counterfactual situation or logical impossibility created in this proverb. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bird_in_the_bush   (362 words)

The Bird's Eye View - Bush National Guard Service Since Bush was nearing the end of his enlistment and the F-102 was already being phased out, the early discharge was not unusual for the circumstances or the time. Every time President Bush provided evidence he did nothing wrong while in the National Guard, the press response was always, “this evidence raises more questions than it answers.” Payroll stubs, medical records, dental records, National Guard personnel records, nothing was enough. What we didn’t hear was that Bush was probably advised to do this because he was applying for a specific position with the 147th Fighter Group. home.comcast.net /~tbev-comments/politicians/Bush-Nat-Guard.htm   (883 words)

The Carmel Bird in the bush - Books - www.theage.com.au Bird, a long-lapsed Catholic, loves all the forms and symbols of spirituality, although she is not particularly religious.

A bird in the bush is worth … a lot The birds followed in the study often stopped in the backyards of populated areas to look for food and prepare for the next flight. One reason for the relatively low cost of flight may be that the exertion helps keep birds warm at night; while resting they have to expend a lot of energy just to keep warm, said Wikelski. Previous research focused on studying bird migration in the lab or looking at general patterns of weather and migration, but did not track individual songbirds in the field. www.princeton.edu /pr/news/03/q2/0617-birds.htm   (632 words)

For birds that migrate long distances each season, most of which are insect eaters, two main factors govern their habitat needs: first, a supply of their food--insects (to be found primarily where weather is warm); and second, a climate the bird can physically tolerate.

CBS News | Bush's Baghdad Bird A Decoration | December 4, 2003 10:28:07 Bush holding the bird on a platter laden with trimmings was the most memorable image of the president's 2 1/2-hour stay with U.S. troops at the Baghdad International Airport. The newspaper reported that in response to questions about the bird, the White House said the turkey was a decoration adorning the steam table where GIs picked up their food on cafeteria-style trays.

A Bird In The Bush-Louisiana Sportsman's Dutruch kicked the bush, and two bobwhite quail seemed to erupt from his toes, crossing his body and heading back west. The birds didn’t like the company of us or the dogs any more than wild quail would, and they flew away like they knew our No. 1 priority was to kill them. As such, suitable quail habitat is virtually non-existent in the state of Louisiana, leaving upland bird hunters with few opportunities to target their chosen prey. www.louisianasportsman.com /stories/2003/a-bird-in-the-bush/a-bird-in-the-bush.htm   (1350 words)

By 1899, when the North American magazine Bird-Lore was able to adopt as its motto the proverb "A bird in the bush is worth two in the hand", birdwatching had become an essentially benevolent activity. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0FQP/is_4703_133/ai_n6247144   (907 words)
