• Austria On Lookout for Frog-Leg Loving Italians

VIENNA - Austrian Wildlife authorities are hopping mad that efforts to save the local frog population are being hampered by Italian poachers. Officials in southern Austrian province Carinthia said Tuesday that poachers are collecting frogs from the roadside buckets they have been guided into to save them from busy highways, and are then smuggling them home to Italian dinner tables.

• Wolfgang's Kitchen ; Celebrate an Italian's Discovery with a Dish That Transcends Borders

With Columbus Day being celebrated Oct. 13, it's the time of year when everyone feels at least a little bit Italian. Of course, that's not difficult, considering the widespread availability and popularity of Italian food. To tell you the truth, I've always felt partly Italian myself, even though I'm Austrian by birth and American by citizenship. If you know anything at all about history and geography, you realize those sorts of national distinctions are flexible and not just when it comes to food. From the mid-19th century until the end of World War I, Carinthia, the part of southern Austria where I grew up, was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; so were portions of the Lombardy and Venice regions of the country we now call Italy.

• Newsmaker - Austrian Firebrand Killed in Car Crash

VIENNA, Austria - Joerg Haider, who catapulted his party into a powerful force in Austrian politics with a mix of folksy aphorisms, in-your-face attacks on rivals and provocative praise of the Nazi era, died Saturday in a car accident. He was 58. His death on a little-traveled stretch of southern Austrian highway left Austria without the politician best known outside the country - although the governor of Carinthia province never held a post in the national government.

• Authorities Fear Brutal Fire Season

WHITTIER -- When an oil well exploded this past week where Pickering Avenue climbs into Whittier's hills, it ignited dense brush about two blocks from a tract of homes on Carinthia Drive an all-too-real reminder of why residents need to clear vegetation from around their properties. Only hours before the quickly contained brush fire erupted Thursday, officials from Los Angeles County Fire Department Station 17 in Whittier began their annual brush-clearance inspections, visiting the first handful of the 300 homes the station is responsible for monitoring.

• Rightist Wins Election in Austria

VIENNA, Austria -- Joerg Haider brought his party a stunning victory in his home province Sunday, confounding pundits and increasing the odds for a national comeback for the rightist known for anti-Jewish slurs and friendship with Saddam Hussein. Haider's Freedom Party was polling more than 10 percentage points behind the Socialists just weeks before legislative elections in Carinthia province. Most predicted a Freedom Party loss after a string of defeats elsewhere over the past two years.
