| Bush Administration Crushes Radical Environmentalists and Trial Lawyers by Weakening the Endangered Species Act | | 2008-08-12 19:35:27 | | For the past 35 years, radical environmentalists and trial lawyers have used the Endangered Species Act as a club to thwart capitalism wherever they find it. While environmentalists argued that they really cared about the snail darter or the spotted owl, the results of endless litigation and confrontation made development throughout the United States more expensive. Consequently, the people harmed most by these policies were America’s poor and middleclass.As the liberal elitists sat passively and supported policies that protected certain obscure species, they also ignored facts about history and nature. It is a fact that 95% of America is undeveloped; this means that if every American doubled his or her land development, 90% of America would still be undeveloped. It is also important to recognize that 99% of all the plant and animal species ever on this Earth are now extinct. Extinction is a natural planetary phenomenon that we will never be able to prevent.So considering these | | By: Copious Dissent - Your Daily Dose of Liberty | | |
| | Endangered Species: Europe's sportscar makers worried about the future | | 2008-08-06 04:55:00 | | With the European Union tightening restrictions on carbon emissions, danger has been spelled out in big bright letters for the sportscar-makers we know and love. The bulk of the world's best supercar manufacturers – including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Aston Martin and Porsche – reside in Europe, but while industry executives continue to campaign for exception and protection, things don't look good. There are, however, a few solutions that could keep the exotic automakers in business and unmolested.Firstly, both automakers and lawmakers agree on the need to reduce weight, which helps neither emissions nor performance. However, weight reduction itself won't bring the supercars below the 120g/km target touted by the EU. One possible solution would be to give niche automakers an exemption, noting that the few cars they produce are rarely driven anyway. According to Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, exotic automakers like his "are representing Europe to the world" and "are a specie | | By: Car News | | |
| | Traditional Occupation - Endangered Species | | 2008-07-18 23:57:00 | | A couple “traditional occupation” that consider close to extinction. Some were deemed outdated, while others were regarded simply as ‘having no future’. One thing for sure, most of these jobs were gone because they could not compete with the advancement of new technologies which have caused a shift in the pattern of human’s behaviour.Here their stories…Becak driverBecak (tricycle) DriverBecak is a form of environmental-friendly transport. Once upon a time, becak was more favored type of public transport. Many people preferred to use becak as form of transportation to enjoy the city atmosphere. Even more, many schoolchildren were driven to and picked up by parent’s regular becak driver.Not only the number of becak decreasing, rarely the driver were still at young age. The younger generation prefer to be ojek (motorcycle-taxi) driver then a becak driver. Not only because driving a becak needs more man-power energy, but also the image of a becak driver itself were far from | | By: Indonesia Cultural and Art | | |

| no, douches are not an endangered species, you're just an idiot | | 2008-06-16 17:22:00 | | I think Picnik just made Photoshop obsolete.... for serious. I love messing around with my pictures to make them more arty, it's so fun and useless. Anyway, my two finals for today went pretty well, I am completely fucked for my next two...or four.... oh well. At least I have new shoes...I went into my dads closet yesterday because I didn't feel like groveling to my mom and I found this jacket and two others I'm adopting as my own. They make my life ~complete~.When I found the leather jacket I went through my usual "HOLY SHIT" motions and called Abigail and dry heaved/moaned into the phone. If you didn't realize "ohhhh myy godddd" and "its so big and black" meant in my conversation there would be so many misunderstandings.Anyway, this is what I've gotten in the past few days. I'm going to force I mean ask my mom to tailor in the jackets, yeah like that'll ever happen.Abigail is getting a new camera which is both good and bad for the blog: I'll be in college/jail for most of the summer | | By: Fashion Pirates | | |
| | | Cloning For the Revival Of Endangered Species | | 2008-01-18 05:26:00 | | Reproductive cloning is regarded as having a potential for conserving endangered wildlife species. A recent breakthrough in biotechnology has been the successful cloning of endangered wild Asian ox (Bos gaurus).The scientists have successfully cloned the endangered species by electro fusing fibroblasts cells from the animal’s skin with enucleated bovine oocytes.The genome of the animal was gaurus in origin whereas the mitochondrial DNA was bovine.In the future, the same technique may be used to clone an extinct bucardo mountain goat from preserved cells by using the present day goats as host mothers. Cloning is definitely going to enhance the biodiversity by ensuring the existence of rare breeds and endangered species.The National Institute of Science and Media keeps a close eye on the latest developments in the world of life science. Joel Ball is a well known authority on biotechnology and has many titles published under the NISM name. | | By: The National Institute Of Science Media | | |

| Animal Prints-Not an Endangered Species | | 2007-09-18 15:40:00 | |
Animal Prints do not seem to be dying out anytime soon. Keep animal prints in check though and limit to accessories. An animal print scarf looks chic and slightly Bridget Bardot retro when tied as a headband. Animal prints are even showing up on jewelry, a low cost, low commitment way to give a nod to the trend. Grrr…
Adventurous souls can give an animal print blouse a shot. Seen on the runways, the animal print blouse will definitely be making appearances on the streets. A subtle print works best in integrating with other travel neutrals. | | By: Travelista | | |
| | Endangered Species by Tank Theory | | 2007-08-16 14:54:00 | | I hadn't visited Tank Theory for while now until I received their newsletter, and so today I checked out their new designs in the Artist Society section (which is my favorite anyway). And what do I see in the Artist Society section? Endangered Species, the newest design of Steve Wilson! And if the name doesn't ring a bell, let me just tell you that Steve Wilson is the creator of the Toxic Spill t-shirt, one of the most popular t-shirts from Tank Theory ever. Love it, love it, love it! Actually... love him, love him, love him! This psychedelic style of his designs is just amazing; images of animals, humans, beauty and mind just come out and disappear into extinction just like thoughts, memories, and old scents in our head... OK, I know I sound melodramatic but hey, I'm just a desperate t-shirt hunter who just found the perfect prey but he's missing his spear! lol...

| | Hawaii - America's Endangered Species Capital | | 2007-06-21 07:00:00 | | Voa newsThe Hawaiian archipelago represents the most isolated group of islands in the world. Plants and animals that are common to many people elsewhere only made it to these islands in the last few hundred years -- most of them, only in the last few decades. The introduction of thousands of new species, together with increased human activity, have put many Hawaiian species on the endangered list... | | By: The Flower Expert - Flowers Encyclopedia | | |
