Polar Bears Listed As Threatened Under U.S. Endangered Species Act; Loss Of Sea Ice To Blame

U.S. Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne announced May 14 that he is accepting the recommendation of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dale Hall to list the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The listing, the government says, is based on the best available science, which shows that loss of sea ice threatens and will likely continue to threaten polar bear habitat. This loss of habitat puts polar bears at risk of becoming endangered in the foreseeable future, the standard established by the ESA for designating a threatened species.

Antigua Doesn't See Settlement With US Over WTO Plan To Let It Ignore US Copyrights

The back and forth battle between the US and Antigua is long and involved. You can read the background if you want, but the short version is that the US suddenly claimed that Antigua-based online gambling sites were in violation of US anti-gambling laws. Antigua took offense at this, and noted that it appeared to violate free trade agreements between the two countries, most specifically because the US still allowed certainly types of domestic online gambling. The issue went to the WTO multiple times, and every time Antigua won -- and every time the US ignored the decision. At one point, the US pretended it won the ruling, and another time it announced that it was simply, unilaterally, changing its trade agreement with Antigua.

NASA Polar Satellite Ends Service

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 30th, 2008 -- After more than 12 years of collecting valuable data on how Earth's space environment is affected by continual bombardment from radiation and particles from the Sun, NASA has decommissioned its Polar spacecraft. Polar – built by Lockheed Martin – was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base on February 24, 1996 and was the second element in NASA's Global Geospace Science (GGS) program. In an orbit that loops over the Earth's poles, the Polar spacecraft and its instruments have enabled scientists to study the movement of energetic charged particles above the polar regions.

Perl: More on Lists and Hashes

Welcome to the first part of what should be the final two articles in our series on working with hashes and lists in Perl. This makes our eleventh article in the series and in it, we will wrap up the intermediate ways of working with hashes and lists.
