As most media focused on the anniversary celebrations, others tied the plight of Koreans and Palestinians, who are still separated by walls, to the festivities. When trying to keep the peace, are walls ever a good idea?

Fox News' response was predictable, but South African broadcasting seemed to have it in for China as well. China's former "big brother to the North," as Russia Today phrased it, was one of the few willing to join the celebration.

Permanent Tag: Animals Rating: Good Hits: 215 Comments: 2 Cheetah Sets Record-Cincinnati Zoo Cheetah Sets Record-Cincinnati Zoo Sarah, the Cincinnati Zoos eight-year-old female cheetah, is now the worlds fastest of all land mammals. Today, Sarah earned her spot in the record book when she crossed the finish line in the 100-meter sprint with a time of 6.16 seconds in her very first attempt, breaking the previous mark of 6.19 seconds set by a male South African cheetah named Nyana in 2001. Then, in her second attempt she broke her own record with a time of 6.13 seconds. (For comparison, the Fastest Human on Earth, Jamaican Sprinter Usain Bolt, recently posted a 9.58 in the 100-meter dash.) Cheetahs are endangered and their population worldwide has shrunk from about 100,000 in 1900 to an estimated 9,000 12,000 cheetahs today. The Cincinnati Zoo has been dubbed The Cheetah Capital of the World because of its conservation efforts through education, public interpretation, and the captive cheetah breeding program. The Zoos Regional Cheetah Breeding Center is one of only four similar facilities in the United States managed by the Species Survival Plan. Since 2007, four out of only eight cheetah cub litters born in North America were born in Cincinnati, more than anywhere else in the world. In total, there have been 37 cheetah cubs born in Cincinnati. Since 1980 the Cincinnati Zoos Cat Ambassador Program has taken African cheetahs to schools and programs around the U.S, Canada, and Central America to spread the word that cheetahs are running for their lives. In addition, each summer the Zoo takes 22 school teachers to the Cheetah Conservation Funds headquarters in Namibia for a two-week conservation field study. Since 1990 the Cincinnati Zoos Angel Fund, named after our first cheetah abassador, Angel, has directly supported cheetah conservation in Africa. From South African & Namibia in the south, up through Kenya & Tanzania in East Africa, The Angel Fund has contributed more than $1 million in support for cheetahs in the wild.

Unmoderated Tag: Cinema Rating: Amazing Hits: 212 Comments: 1 Neill Blomkamp 'District 9' Trailer Neill Blomkamp 'District 9' Trailer Thirty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the worlds nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United, a private company uninterested in the aliens welfare they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe, contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9. User: BoogeBoogieston Jul 11, 2009 2:08 PM
