...closer to being realized last fall. Even as Kokolopori sought the government's formal designation as a protected nature reserve (a move that may come as soon as June), Tusumba was leading the charge to apply the new conservation techniques more aggressively still to a third place: the Sankuru area. So convincing was he that President Joseph Kabila allowed the nearly 12,000-sq.-mi. (31,080 sq km) region to jump the queue and earn the reserve designation first. Adding that to the 95,000 sq. mi.

The naturalistic fallacy is the simple step of expanding “is” into “ought.” “Is” is a positive statement of fact. “Ought” is a normative statement and carries much more baggage with it. For example, when considering human evolution, chimpanzees are the closest common ancestor to humans. Male chimps when trying to mate often turn violent. Field studies have observed male chimps forcing copulation with female chimps...

That would surely let me hang up my burglary skills for good and fill my friends’ stomachs instead...
...terrorist sent into China by "East Turkestan" separatists from overseas, said the ministry spokesman Wu Heping. East Turkestan is the name given to China's huge Xinjiang province by separatists belonging to the Uighur ethnicity. (It was used by a couple of short-lived republics in the area during the period of China's civil wars in the first half of the 20th century.) The group, Wu said, had "carried out 13 explosion experiments inside China, and was to carry out attacks in major cities including Beijing and Shanghai to disrupt the coming Olympics." The other group, apparently apprehended...
