U.S. Citizens Fenced Out of America
I just saw a piece on CNN that showed how the border fence near Brownsville, Texas is going to be built following a levee rather than the actual border. Doing this will place a large section of U.S. land and a gold course on the Mexico side of the fence. [...]

With his base at the Australian Zoo, and his extensive TV career, Steve Irwin became one of the best-known "animal champions", of our time.Not only did he educate and create awareness, but he did so by making it fun. Whether he plowed through a tropical rain forest, or a murky swamp, he'd grab whatever poisonous reptile crossed his path.I'm a HUGE fan. Just too bad I never got the chance to meet him.To see Steve in action, head on over to YouTube for his Bloopers & Stuff Ups. And if that wasn't enough, head on over to Raving Toys, and buy the action figure. Amazon.com Widgets
Steve Irwin's death shocked the world.Steve was a much loved celebrity and his TV shows were broadcast worldwide, his image recognisable to millions. Respected for his charismatic persona, Steve also held a deep, passionate commitment to help animals threatened with extinction.Steve and Terr'is story is not just one of sharing and following a noble cause but also a fairy tale love-affair. When Terri first laid eyes on Steve she saw a real-life action hero. They married in 1992 and together they changed the perception of conversation, sparked global interest in animals of the Australian bush and founded the Australian zoo, one of the worlds leading wildlife preservation centres.In STEVE & ME, Terri tells their story for the first time, revealing the private side to the ebullient TV sta
Frank at the Google Earth Blog points us to a fun little easter egg in Google Earth - Steve Irwin (the late “Crocodile Hunter”) in front of the Sydney Opera House in Australia.
To find him, simply turn on the 3D buildings layer, search for “Sydney Opera House” and look near the water on the north side of the building.
GEB has more info and short video on how to find him.
This is the last paper Steve Irwin wrote before he was tragically killed.
Abstract
Crocodilians have a wide distribution, often in remote areas, are cryptic, secretive and are easily disturbed by human presence. Their capacity for large scale movements is poorly known. Here, we report the first study of post-release movement patterns in translocated adult crocodiles, and the first application of satellite telemetry to a crocodilian. Three large male Crocodylus porosus (3.1–4.5 m) were captured in northern Australia and translocated by helicopter for 56, 99 and 411 km of coastline, the last across Cape York Peninsula from the west coast to the east coast. All crocodiles spent time around their release site before returning rapidly and apparently purposefully to their capture locations. The animal that circumnavigated Cape York Peninsula to return to its capture site, travelled more than 400 km in 20 days, which is the longest homeward travel yet reported for a crocodilian. Such impres
It is one year today since the tragic, premature passing of Steve Irwin. He was “fatally pierced in the chest with a sting ray barb”. I remember hearing the news on the radio on my way to work that morning. While I would never have called myself a fan, I did admire him greatly, and I was deeply saddened. I could not believe how quickly people made light of it.
I have learned a lot more about Irwin in the year since his death. While some had criticised him claiming that he intruded upon animals in their natural habitat, others say that above all he loved and cared for the animals he knew so well, and always had their well being in mind. Rightly or wrongly, I find myself agreeing with the latter.
What is indisputable, is that Irwin had a wonderfully entertaining, extrovert personality. He oozed confidence, and viewers all over the world warmed to him. It often seemed as if he had no fear.
Considering all of the dangerous beasts he handled so skilfully, it is a heart-rending
Late Crocodile Hunter STEVE IRWIN is set to be posthumously honoured with an Australian wildlife reserve in his name. The Queensland government has devoted a 33,585 acre chunk of land near Weipa to be named Irwin Park. The area will house endangered northern quoll - a carnivorous marsupial - and the speartooth shark. Irwin's widow Terri enthuses, "Steve was in awe of the prolific wildlife of the Wenlock and Ducie rivers bordering the reserve and he would have been proud to see the property protected as a wildlife reserve." Australian Prime Minister John Howard says, "This is a fitting tribute to a passionate environmentalist and a great Australian".
Terry Irwin, Steve Irwin’s widow, has said that the video will never be shown on television.
What purpose would that serve?
This came out in an interview with Barbara Walters that airs today. The interview is Terry’s first since her husband’s death. So it is now confirmed that there will be no official release of the video but things do have a habit of making their way onto the internet…
‘Croc Hunter’ widow: Footage of death won’t air (AZCentral)
Tras la muerte de Steve Irwin o mejor llamado el Cazador de cocodrilos, muchos están pensando en lo peligroso que pueden resultar las Rayas.Pero se debe de entender, que estos animales acuáticos no son más que seres salvajes que actúan como tales... desgraciadamente Steve Irwin no pudo mantener el control de la situación como lo hacía con los cocodrilos, serpientes, cobras, escorpiones o cualquier animal salvaje y venenoso que se le cruzaba en frente, o para sus shows en Animal Planet.Para que vean a otros intrépidos... nadando junto a las Rayas de Aguijón, aquí les dejo este video... donde verán como los humanos en vez de estudiar su forma de vida, simplemente los usan como atractivo :S Tags: Steve+Irwin Crocodile+Hunter peru El+cazador+de+cocodrilos videos animal+planet
A few things to offload and clarify.1. Steve Irwin died as a result of a Stingray's Barb striking into this chest and heart. NOT Manta Rays.2. Class95 DJ Glenn Ong suggested that Manta Rays are a result of Steve's Death, that's false.3. Not all rays have stinging barbs.4. Manta Rays, not like rumours spreading around the web, do not have a layer of toxins coated on their bodies nor do they have stinging barbs5. Eating more BBQ rays is not an act of taking revenge for Steve but it is an act of allowing the BBQ seafood store to make more $$$ as well as for more blubber to gather in your body.6. Steve Irwin might be a Hero to most people, but to true conservationist, he is tempting nature too much. If you ask me, he deserves it. 7. The Species of Ray that is involved in Steve's Death is a Bull Ray, not Manta Ray.8. Reports have it that Steve pulled out the Barb before losing conciousness.9. Reports have it that Steve is not aware of his bleeding. 10. John Stainton said Steve pulled ou

shocked by Croc Hunter's death - Breaking News - National - Breaking News
The 44-year-old television star and naturalist died around 11am (AEST)
on Monday when a stingray barb punctured his heart while he was filming a
nature documentary off Port Douglas in north Queensland.
As two of my kids woke up to get ready for their first day back at school
today, they were shocked to see that Steve Irwin, the 'Crocodile Hunter' had
been killed in an accident whilst filming a new documentary.
Steve Irwin was someone they had grown up watching and was instrumental for
their interest in wildlife much as in the same way that parents today would
have grown up with Johnny Morris (older older parents).
Steve was killed after a stingray barb pierced his heart in what seems to
be a cruel piece of bad luck. Had he been struck elsewhere it might not have
been so fatal. The fact that my kids were so shocked and saddened shows the
impact that he had on

The only video of Australian "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin's fatal encounter with a stingray has been destroyed, according to his widow.Irwin, 44, died on September 4 last year after a stingray's serrated barb pierced his heart while he was filming under water off Australia's coast.Australian authorities last week said that they had completed an investigation into Irwin's death and, to ensure it is never made public, destroyed all but one copy of a tape showing Irwin's death.The incident was captured by the documentary crew of "Ocean's Deadliest", the Discovery wildlife special Irwin was filming at the time of his death.This video was handed to his widow, Terri Irwin, who told TV's "Access Hollywood" in an interview being aired on Thursday and Friday this week that she had now destroyed this footage."There's standard protocols for examining certain evidence and that's no longer necessary," she told "Access Hollywood."Asked whether she kept the video returned to her, she said,
Non si apre sotto una luce del tutto positiva questo nuovo ciclo di post pre-autunnali. Ieri son venuto a sapere che è morto Steve Irwin. Molti di voi lo ricorderanno come il protagonista di numerosi documentari "Missione Natura" in onda recentemente su La7 e prima ancora su Discovery Channel. Coccodrilli, serpenti velenosi, rettili di ogni fattezza non lo spaventavano, anzi...Steve è morto proprio durante una delle sue avventure: ieri, mentre stava girando un documentario sottomarino, è stato trafitto al cuore dall'aculeo di un pesce, una razza. Inutili i, seppur repentini, soccorsi. Irwin aveva 44 anni ed era il proprietario e l'amministratore dell'Australia Zoo di Beerwah, nello stato australiano del Queensland.
