...hunter harassment more than tripled during last year's deer season, territorial landowners have clashed repeatedly with hunters, and hunters have clashed among themselves. Such reports are especially alarming in a state where there have been two fatal hunter shootings, leaving seven dead, within the past decade, says chief conservation warden Randy Stark. The increased number of reports is still minuscule in Wisconsin - there were only 15 harassment cases among 600,000 hunters - but each is treated as a potential tragedy. "Although there's few of them, it only takes one for there to be a bad outcome," says Stark...

...investigation concerns bribes allegedly paid as part of the approval process of major construction projects that occurred first while Olmert was mayor of Jerusalem from 1993 until 2003, and afterward when he was Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor. He became Prime Minister in 2006. Chief among the controversial projects was the 1999 development of the luxury Holyland residential towers on a prominent Jerusalem hilltop, which had originally been zoned for a hotel. Prosecutors are now alleging that Messer and Jerusalem's city architect at the time facilitated the approval of the much larger - and, some critics would say, much...
