BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) _ A new species of freshwater stingray has been discovered in a river in western Thailand, but its chances for long-term survival are slim, a report said Wednesday.

The stingray, measuring 60 centimeters (23.6 inches) in width, was first observed two years ago but was only recently described by Thai and American scientists, said a release from the World Wide Fund for Nature-Thailand.

``Local participatory conservation is urgently needed for the survival of this new stingray,'' the release said.

Thai rivers, including the Mae Klong River where the ray is found, have been plagued by serious pollution, overfishing and dam building which have taken a deadly toll on Thailand's once diverse and abundant river life. The ray is believed to exist in small numbers.

The new species has been named Himantura kittipong after prominent Thai fish expert Kittipong Jaruthanin who first observed the ray in 2004. WWF freshwater biologist Chavalit Vidthayanon and Tyson Roberts of the Smithsonian Institute described the species.

Dealing Dogs

Tue, 21 Feb 2006 16:20:02 GMT

clipped by: rachelw
clipper's remarks: I saw parts of the documentary last night on Anderson Cooper, it's about the horrific treatment of dogs by Class B dog dealers, who buy and sell these dogs for medical research. It's an important documentary, and although it will be heartbreaking to watch, I hope everyone does. It's on HBO tonight at 10pm. Just so we can all be aware of and understand what these poor animals go through at the hands of these disgusting people and how important it is to have tougher animal rights laws. I am continually amazed by the atrocities human beings are capable of committing, either on other humans or on defenseless animals. Sometimes (actually a lot of the time lately) I am ashamed to be part of the human race.

Dealing Dogs

Each year, 42,000 dogs are sold to veterinary schools and research labs by Class B dealers, who are required by federal law to buy the animals from pounds, shelters and small breeders and to treat them humanely. However, many Class B dealers violate the law. DEALING DOGS exposes the abuses that took place at one of America's most notorious Class B dealers - Martin Creek Kennel in Arkansas. Premieres Tuesday, February 21 at 10pm (ET/PT).

Ten Rules for Being Human

Ten Rules for Being Human

by Cherie Carter-Scott

1.	You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
2.	You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
3.	There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4.	Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5.	Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6.	"There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7.	Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8.	What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9.	Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10.	You will forget all this.

Richard Dreyfuss calls for Bush Impeachment ...

Fri, 17 Feb 2006 17:44:30 GMT

clipped by: ericw
clipper's remarks: Another celebrity coming out against Bush. Why does this seem to never do any good?

It just seems that, no matter who it is, so long as they are in the film/entertainment industry, they will be written off as "leftist" members Hollywood and elitists. But I think when enough of anybody says something, there must be some truth in it.

Clip Source: www.cnsnews.com

(CNSNews.com) - Richard Dreyfuss, the actor who starred in movies ranging from "Jaws" to "Mr. Holland's Opus," told an audience in Washington, D.C., on Thursday that "there are causes worth fighting for," and one of those is the impeachment of President George W. Bush.

"There are causes worth fighting for even if you know that you will lose," Dreyfuss said during a speech at the National Press Club. "Unless you are willing to accept torture as part of a normal American political lexicon, unless you are willing to accept that leaving the Geneva Convention is fine and dandy, if you accept the expansion of wiretapping as business as usual, the only way to express this now is to embrace the difficult and perhaps embarrassing process of impeachment."

Who Moved My Cheese? Adding it to the list of books that influenced me.

clipped by: egoldstein
clipper's remarks: A friend of mine gave this to me last night.

It is a short story about change and how we need to learn to accept it and embrace it. Whether it is change in our business or change in our personal lives, change is an inevitable and constant part of life.

This little book that takes less than an hour to read definitely helps. I highly recommend it!!!
