Zsolt Vincze (zvincze [at] rjobrien.com) requested that the article below be
sent to the list but that was "rejected".

It failed since the newspaper (the actual poster) is not a subscriber.
(Only subscribers can post without my review to block spam.) A better
approach than posting long articles that conserves archive and inbox space
is to quote a portion of the article and include a link to the complete
article as I've done below.  Unfortunately there is sometimes as in this
case a complication with that approach - the URL is too long to fit on one
line. I have created a shorter link which is easy to do at
http://makeashorterlink.com and included that. Fred the list manager

Summary:
By Stephanie Nebehay

GENEVA (Reuters) - Bird flu threatens human lives in hundreds and possibly
thousands of "disease blind spots" around the globe, the late head of the
World Health Organization said in remarks prepared before his death.

The U.N. agency issued the report on Tuesday to the organization's annual
assembly of Director-General Lee Jong-wook, who died on Monday morning
from a stroke.

"There are still hundreds, maybe thousands of disease blind spots around
the world -- where no one knows what they have to watch for, or what they
must report," Lee wrote.
