Australia Offers Transgendered Passports
Australia now offers passports with the genders F, M, and X. Australian Senator Louise Pratt, Australia's first parliamentarian with a transgendered partner, who was born female but now a man, stated the change was a huge step forward.

Man Sets House on Fire While Cremating Dog
A man grieving the loss of his Rottweiler accidentally set his house on fire while cremating his dog in Dale City. He had requested the authorities to pick up the dog's remains, but they informed him to bring it in. His car was too small, so he decided to cremate it on the property. After pouring gasoline on the remains, the flames transferred up the side of the house and on to the roof. The house suffered extensive fire and smoke damage. The dog's remains remained on a tarp next to the house. The animal control authorities eventually came to remove the dog's remains from the property.

The Greater Dandenong City Council local laws officers hit him with a $220 fine on February 25 for "keeping livestock on land under half (a) hectare". Baa has lived with Mr. Ho for over 10 years. Mr. Ho says Baa is a close member of his family. If he loses the case on September 7, he faces $30,000 in legal costs plus a similar bill for the council's lawyers. The council updated the laws late last month, exempting cats and dogs from the term "livestock"

Story of Two Elephants: Shirley and Jenny
Shirley and Jenny were two circus elephants that were chained up most of their circus days except when they were forced to perform for audiences. Shirley adopted Jenny when she was calf and become her surrogate mother. Soon after, Shirley was moved and Jenny was forced to continue performing for next 23 years of her life until she sustained a leg injury. After she was injured, she was dumped on an animal welfare's doorstep. The animal welfare organization was barely equipped or funded to care for an injured elephant. An animal activist contacted an elephant sanctuary and had Jenny transferred there.
Jenny's first days at the sanctuary were spent in isolation. Because she was miserable without company of her kind, she was urged to spend more time with the herd. Coincidentally, Shirley was sent to the same elephant sanctuary years earlier. Upon recognizing each other, both Shirley and Jenny trumpeted as they bumped their ample bodies together in a typical gesture of affectionate camaraderie. Both elephants were happy to see each other after so many years apart. Immediately, the old friends were inseparable and soon were joined by another duo, Bunny and Tarra.
Unfortunately, Jenny's leg injury become critical and she worsened. When she became too weak, Shirley led her to a shaded valley area to lay down. Shirley used her truck to help Jenny stay comfortable. When the situation became to unbearable to bear, Shirley left to mourn the loss of her friend. Bunny and Tarra stayed with Jenny, trumpeting and easing her comfort, until she passed away.

Farmer Requires License to Remove Fish from Flooded Fields
Martin Reid of Sabrevois, Quebec, was previously fined $1,000 for fishing with a license to remove fish from flooded fields of his farm in 1993. He is concerned he may be fined a second time up to $100,000. Each permit obtained only lasts 2 weeks. Reid explained. "I have to transport them so as not to damage them, by containers with water inside. If some of them die, I have to bury them." Canadian bureaucracy at its best.

Cheerleader Booted for Refusing to Cheer for Rapist
A Texas cheerleader Hillaire was axed from the team when she refused to cheer for her date-rapist. She is trying to fundraise funds to fight her case. When she decided to come forward with her statement, high school officials at Texas’ Silsbee High School told her to keep quiet. When the case was taken to the appeals court, it was dismissed, and her family is now required to pay $45,000 to cover the school’s legal fees. Basketball player Rakheem Bolton pleaded to the charge of misdemeanor assault, and was allowed back on the basketball team. After she was kicked off the cheerleading team, she was publically branded a slut. The allowance of Rakeem Bolton to continue to play basketball with the full support of the high school, as well as the way the court system and high school officials have behaved in Texas, reinforces that an alleged sexual assaulter can get away with date-rape. Truly a sad tale indeed.

Cheerleader Booted for Refusing to Cheer for Rapist
A Texas cheerleader Hillaire was axed from the team when she refused to cheer for her date-rapist. She is trying to fundraise funds to fight her case. When she decided to come forward with her statement, high school officials at Texas’ Silsbee High School told her to keep quiet. When the case was taken to the appeals court, it was dismissed, and her family is now required to pay $45,000 to cover the school’s legal fees. Basketball player Rakheem Bolton pleaded to the charge of misdemeanor assault, and was allowed back on the basketball team. After she was kicked off the cheerleading team, she was publically branded a slut. The allowance of Rakeem Bolton to continue to play basketball with the full support of the high school, as well as the way the court system and high school officials have behaved in Texas, reinforces that an alleged sexual assaulter can get away with date-rape. Truly a sad tale indeed.

Does the Internet Make Us Creepy?
A new opera titled Two Boys at the ENO London Coliseum, highlights the Internet culture (or lack there of) developing online. Social networking (Facebook, Twitter) is watering-down communication style to low levels. “Do you want to be my friend? Can I poke you? What’s your comment?”
