Tomas Becomes Hurricane as Caribbean Islands Endure Storm
Newly born Hurricane Tomas swept through a cluster of eastern Caribbean islands Saturday tearing roofs from homes and downing power lines. Authorities in St. Vincent confirm reports of three deaths, including two men possibly blown from a roof, emergency spokesman Jimmy Prince said. Nearly 100 homes lost their roofs and over 400 people sought emergency shelter as the island darkened, with many workers unable to leave Mustique.

ZooBorns celebrates baby animals to spark conservation
A photographer duo created ZooBonus.com to post birth announcements from zoos and aquariums worldwide. Their books ZooBorns! and a later all-ages edition, via Simon & Schuster, promote conservation with AZA benefiting from 10 percent of sales. The site features around 600 births from 165 species, prioritizing cute over insects and spiders, while sometimes delaying posts for lasting appeal.
