Scientists Want to Bring Some Animals Back from Extinction. Including one from Sri Lanka:)
Saturday, 23 March 2013 - 12:58 AM SL Time


On Friday at a National Geographic-sponsored TEDx conference, scientists met in Washington, D.C. to discuss which animals we should bring back from extinction. They also discussed the how, why, and ethics of doing so. They called it `de-extinction.`

There are a few guidelines for which ancient species are considered, and sadly, dinosaurs are so long dead they aren`t in the picture. Their DNA has long ago degraded, so researchers are fairly sure that Jurassic Park will never happen.

There are a few guidelines for which ancient species are considered, and sadly, dinosaurs are so long dead they aren`t in the picture. Their DNA has long ago degraded, so researchers are fairly sure that Jurassic Park will never happen.

They chose the animals using the following criteria: Are the species desirable do they hold an important ecological function or are they beloved by humans? Are the species practical choices do we have access to tissue that could give us good quality DNA samples or germ cells to reproduce the species? And are they able to be reintroduced to the wild are the habitats in which they live available and do we know why they went extinct in the first place?

Hans Blix: Iraq War was a terrible mistake and violation of U.N. charter Monday, 18 March 2013 - 11:58 PM SL Time
 
(CNN) -- On March 19, 2003, Iraq was invaded by an `alliance of willing states` headed by the U.S. and UK. My U.N. inspection team and I had seen it coming -- and I felt an emptiness when, three days before the invasion, an American official called me to `ask` that we withdraw from the country.
While we were sad to be ushered out in the midst of a job entrusted to us by the U.N. Security Council -- one that we were doing well -- there was a certain relief in knowing we had all made it out safely. We had worried that our inspectors might be taken hostage, but as it turned out the Iraqis had been very helpful during our time there.

Minister Mervyn Silva today said that he is the most suitable SLFPer to be the next Prime Minister.

The Minister in response to a question raised by a journalist said that he is the most suitable candidate in the SLFP for the Prime Ministerial post.

There is no other person in the SLFP who is more suitable than I am to be appointed premier. My sister, brother and brother in law were all killed. I was injured, I have been jailed. My family home in Beliatta was destroyed. I have done my politics with the Rajapaksas. I should be the Presidents most trusted man, so give it (Premiership) to me, he said at a press conference.

Curiosity photographs mysterious metal object on Martian rock Saturday, 9 February 2013 - 9:16 PM SL Time
 
image analysis of shots taken by the Curiosity rover`s MastCam last month appears to have revealed a shiny metal object sticking out of a rock on the Martian surface.

Italian imaging specialist Elisabetta Bonora was going over Curiosity`s latest photographs and found the object in a set of pictures taken by the rover on January 30. The object appears to be embedded in bedrock and is both casting a shadow and reflecting sunlight in some areas, but Bonora said that gauging the size of the object is proving tricky.

US sent deputies to spy on us: Wimal Wednesday, 30 January 2013 - 1:39 AM SL Time
 
The true intention of the three deputies of US President Barack Obama visiting the country was to collect information to use them against Sri Lanka in the global forums, Construction, Engineering Services, Housing and Common Amenities Minister Wimal Weerawansa charged.

Addressing a ceremony held at Mawathagama to distribute houses among low income families under the `Janasevana` programme, Minister Weerawansa stressed that the goal of the three US officials` was to show the world that law and order had collapsed and therefore the allegations of war crimes during the humanitarian operation have to be probed before an international tribunal.

Chimpanzees of Fongoli Sunday, 5 August 2012 - 12:18 AM SL Time
 


Daybreak is sudden and swift, as though an unseen hand had simply reached out and raised a dimmer switch. Cued by the dawn, thirty-four chimpanzees awaken. They are still in the nests they built the previous night, in trees at the edge of an open plateau.

A wild chimpanzee does not get out of bed quietly. Chimps wake up hollering. There are technical names for what I`m hearing pant-hoots, pant-barks, screams, hoos but to a newcomer`s ear, it`s just a crazy, exuberant, escalating racket. You can`t listen without grinning.
