		<description><![CDATA[This is a photo from the Guardian&#8217;s website. It is the first of a sequence of 5 of a great white shark investigating three divers in a cage in Mexico. Unfortunately they seem more interested in emphasising that one of the divers is &#8220;fending&#8221; off the shark, and punching it on the nose, when his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, so they don&#8217;t surface in the middle of the night, crawl up the beach, climb trees and start snacking on coconut leaves. Instead scientists artificially fed one of the most common species of deep sea fish on plants, and in doing so they demonstrated that these fish have much wider tastes than previously thought.

		<description><![CDATA[Tusa are recalling some RS670 regulators sold between May and September 2009 because of loosening of the BLC plug on the first stage. This can apparently cause a high pressure leak leading to an unstable intermediate pressure. Approximately 60 first stages are affected with the following serial numbers:
