State prepares to challenge polar bear listing in court
The State of Alaska is going to court over the Interior Secretary's decision to list polar bears as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.

Governor Sarah Palin announced Wednesday that the state plans to file the suit in U. S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

She says the state is also considering intervening in ongoing litigation related to the polar bear listing in the court for the Northern District of California.

While the state is challenging the listing, Governor Palin says Alaska remains committed to assuring polar bears are conserved.

Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Irwin warns the listing decision could result in widespread social and economic impacts, including power costs and further increases in fuel prices.

Attorney General Talis Colberg believes the Endangered Species Act is not the right tool to address impacts to a species from climate change.

10:23am: This is a great thought and well worth passing on!!

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a car

jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed

the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck."

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.

They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.

As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you .

Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful

people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so.....

"Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't." Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
