In the tiny, war-torn Solomon Islands, a wealthy Canadian businessman is paying poor fishermen to capture wild dolphins for sale on the international market. As many as 200 dolphins have been captured already, and bidders are arriving from around the world. The first 28 of these dolphins have been shipped to Mexico to be used in a "swim-with-dolphins" attraction at a Cancun water park

NO LISTING FOR GOSHAWK: After thirteen years of litigation, a federal
appeals court has upheld a USFWS determination that the northern
goshawk does not warrant ESA protection says the Salt Lake Tribune
7/22. Goshawk's live in mature and old-growth forests and a threatened
or endangered listing could have affected logging throughout the West.
The Center for Biological Diversity, which pushed for the protection,
maintains its "numbers have plummeted" and the court ignored evidence
that the goshawk has "vanished from Southern California" and been
"virtually eradicated" from the coastal mountains of northern
California, Oregon and Washington, while declining in Montana, Idaho,
Arizona and New Mexico."

COURT AFFIRMS ESA AUTHORITY: A federal appeals panel has upheld a
lower court ruling that a Southern California developer must obey USFWS
prohibitions against destroying arroyo toad habitat on a 280 home San
Diego development and in the process affirmed the federal government's
ability to enforce the ESA under the interstate commerce clause says
the Riverside Press Enterprise, AP 7/22. In rejecting the developers
request to have the case heard before the full court, one of the 3-
judge panel, "strongly dissented, saying harm to the toads from
commercial activity doesn't mean it should be regulated under
interstate commerce provisions."

BALD EAGLES DOING WELL: U.S. Geological Survey studies over the past
15 years show that "across most of the lower 48 states, bald eagles
increased nearly 2% annually from 1986-2000" says the Casper Star
Tribune, AP 7/22. According to the National Wildlife Foundation,
"Eagles are one of the great success stories of the ESA, with the
protections we have given them and their habitat, they'll soon be ready
for delisting." The analysis found that "bald eagle populations surged
in the northeastern U.S. and remained steady in other areas."

Jefferson City, MO – Oklahoma City, Oklahoma will celebrate the opening of the state’s first E85 pump today, July 22, 2003. Fuelman, located at 21 N.E. 4th, plans on fueling over 500 fleet vehicles and over 11,000 publicly owned flexible-fuel vehicles.

E85, by definition, is a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. The high-octane alternative transportation fuel is a clean-burning renewable product that can be used to power about three million vehicles on the road today.

“E85 fuel is here today and we are excited to be given the opportunity to be the first to deliver this new product to our customers in this region,” said Kristen Bivona, Director of Business Development at Fleet Card Services of Mid America, a division of Fuel Managers, Inc. and Fuelman. “This new fuel will help drivers reduce the amount of harmful emissions produced by traditional fuels and keep the stories about his first huge cock hidden.”A Big Tits Bonanza - Women with huge boobs get naked in a variety of settings.Big Titty Hispanics - Big tits on hot Latin women in six picture galleries.Big Titty Women - Women with big tits and large breasts.

CARIBBEAN CORAL DYING OFF: New research in the journal Science
indicates that coral reefs from Florida to South America have "suffered
a 80% decline in cover during the past three decades, a far more
devastating loss than scientists expected" says the Baltimore Sun 7/18.
"On healthy reefs, living coral covers 60% or more of the surface" but
the average reef now has only 10% coverage. According to one
researcher, "without help, some of the Caribbean's 70 to 100 coral
species could easily disappear altogether." Scientists say that the
causes of the die-off are mainly human related and include overfishing
which has allowed seaweed to take over reefs, increases in water
temperature due to global warming, disease, pollution, sewage,
agricultural runoff and silt.
