The Daily Star
Forests are closely related to "socio-economic" and ecological aspects of a nation. It is important to maintain an ecological balance. Any country needs 25% ecological forests to maintain that balance.

(BY TINA LAM, Detroit Free Press)
Sea lampreys are prehistoric creatures that invaded the great lakes 80 years ago. It is ruining the fish population in the great lakes. Michigan State scientists are developing a way to get rid of the eel like animals.
These things are gross. We need to get them out of here. They are not harmful to us directly, but they do ruin our fishing sports.

Ban on Wild Tiger Sales 'a Complete Failure'?
By JOHN STOSSEL and JEFF DIAMOND May 8, 2009
The ban on tiger sales hasn't worked. One way we can solve this, according to John Stossel is to eat them. Just kidding. The way to go is better law enforcement.That is true. If we ban the killing, prices of their pelt would sky rocket. This would cause more poaching and selling. If we also had better enforcement, then we could lock up all of the criminals.

Species Act Won't Be Used to Force Lower Emissions
By David A. Fahrentholdhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/08/AR2009050802103.html
The Federal Bureau to protect endangered species stated that they will not used the decline of polar bears to help reduce global emissions. The endangered species act protects animals from logging, hunting and fishing. But there is a dispute whether or not they should add climate change to the list.
Even though they would be using animals as an excuse, they should add climate change to the list, especially for northern animals. There is a link to polar bear deaths and global warming. Since the earth is getting warmer, the polar ice caps are melting, causing smaller ice shelf, making polar bears drown.

Toxic... Lions' History 4/26
The Toxicity Report: Detroit Lions' draft history
Dennis Dillard
4/36/09
Sporting News.
The Lions have always been terrible... 50 years worth. Which is why I don't understand why my papa will watch this team week in and week out. Which is why I will break down the recent drafts. draft since it was this weekend. Many will point the finger at Matt Millen, which is correct. What people don't realize is that he was a great hard-nosed player. When he was in the front office, he didn't draft hard-nosed player, which is what the Lions needed. He drafted soft players that whined and cried.
Now to this draft... The Lions had to try and screw up this draft... and they did. They took Stafford, and paid a ridiculous price to get an overrated player. Next, the drafted a tight end who clearly isn't a first rounder. Next pick, they were all set up to draft Ray Mauluga, A force in the middle. They took an ok safty from a MAC school.
If I were to pick, I would go with Aaron Curry, the best overall prospect. Next, Defensive Tackle Peria Jerry from Ole Miss. The third round pick would have been Center, Eric Wood; or Center, Max Unger.

PETA
Peta under fire over claim that it kills most animals left at its US headquarters
By Philip Sherwell in New YorkLast Updated: 7:14PM BST 04 Apr 2009
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/5106600/Peta-under-fire-over-claim-that-it-kills-most-animals-left-at-its-US-headquarters.html
PETA is being accused for "putting down" 96% of animals handed to them at their US headquarters. Out of 2,216 animals, 2,124 were put to sleep while 7 found homes. It is a sad day for PETA.
How ironic. PETA... killing animals. talk about an oxymoron. I have a strong dislike for PETA because they go against everything that is evolution. If we could put a man on the moon, then we could put a PETA member on the moon. Then we could put all of the PETA members on the moon. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
APRIL 5 Factory Farms
Group mulls options after appellate court sides with factory hog farm owner
March 25, 2009 12:25 pm
http://www.joplinglobe.com/local/local_story_084122534.html
Representatives for a factory hog farm will likely appeal the decision made in court. Richland Township in Missouri claimed that they have the right to regulate factory farms in their area. Unanimously, the court denied injunctive relief to the township board. The board first sued the factory farm due to township rule violations.
The town is doing the right in in suing. They need to show that they do not want those greedy animal abusers in their area. It gives them a bad name for their town... Just don't get PETA involved. They're a pain.

Floods
Flood Waters 'Devastate' Fargo Schools
By Ashley Powers
9:06 AM PDT, March 29, 2009
Fargo has been the victim of severe weather. First, the potential flooding of the Mississippi River. Next, a snow storm has blown in. Today, water has seeped into a local schools campus and flooded two buildings.
I feel so bad for Fargo. It's like that Iowa situation all over again. I am so glad that there is minimal flooding in this area. Weather in the great plains are so severe.

Mining
Mining group says EPA reviews could threaten coal jobs
By TIM HUBER Associated Press
March 28, 2009, 2:15AM
The EPA declared that they will take a look at 150 to 200 mining applications. The reason is, is that the EPA wants to prevent the dumping of coal wastes in lakes and streams. The problem is, is that the EPA can threaten the jobs of 77,500 people.There has to be a compromise here. We have to help protect the environment, but we also have to have jobs for people. Coal is the backbone on our nation, and we cannot turn our backs on them.
