Health concerns rise as USDA enacts open access for laying hens amid debate among egg producers, regulators, and scientists. Proponents argue natural living improves welfare while critics warn of salmonella and avian influenza risks, urging indoor systems with ventilation and outdoor access restrictions. The National Organic Standards Board backed open access, influencing the final rule and sparking industry rebuttals about costs and safety.

Chrysler targets German market with retro ad push
Chrysler unveiled a Berlin campaign to lift its Germany sales from 0.69 percent of the market to about 1 percent by 2006. The ad uses classic models like the 1934 Airflow and American iconography featuring Humphrey Bogart and Route 66 to boost brand recognition among German buyers familiar with the Daimler Benz merger. The effort follows years of post merger turnaround and aims to turn Voyager and other Chrysler names into recognizable German choices amid Ford and Opel competition.
