A new Sumatran tiger was born at the Woodland Park Zoo check out the pictures at the link. Working behind the scenes at a zoo and bottle feeding an endangered animal... I think i just added something new to my career list. I wonder what kind of degree you have to have to do that.

In other Woodland Park Zoo news, an anonymous family donated 6 million dollars for a new penguin exhibit. Animals are great and all but if I had 6 mil to give away I'm pretty sure that I would give it to help some people. But hey, whatever floats their boat. You should read about the Nobel Prize winner for 2006. Mohammud Yunus. He started out with $27 in his pocket, went out to the poor slums behind the college where he was a Professor and started out by loaning people like $1.50 to get out from under the loan people who would kill them if they didn't pay them back.
His mission is to combat world poverty by giving small loans to poor families but mostly women in over 20 countries to start their own businesses and get on their feet. He now has a huge organization which has helped like 2.7 million families so far. Hey, I just looked him up again and it led me to Kiva.org. how bout that. anyway, you should go to his site, it's pretty much awesome.
