th Sumatran rhino birth about 16 months later. If
not, other efforts will continue.Indonesian conservationists have been trying
to mate Andalas, the oldest brother, with two other females there after
last year's success. His semen has also been banked, but there have
been no reported successful artificial inseminations yet.At the Singapore
summit, Indonesian and Malaysian authorities pledged to work together more
closely on species survival efforts. Conservationists say special rhino
protection patrols have thwarted poachers who kill rhinos to take horns
that can be worth tens of thousands of dollars on the black
market. The horns are sought for medicinal and other uses -- by
legend, rhino horns are said to have aphrodisiac powers.While the Sumatran
rhino isn't a particularly popular or even recognizable animal to the public
at large, Roth said, the species contributes to the global need for
healthy forests with its role in the ecosystem clearing small saplings and
brush, and helping spread seeds and make trails smaller animals use. Also,
the rhinos don't threaten humans nor damage their crops."There's no human-rhino
conflict," Roth said. "Are we going to put enough value in wildlife
to share the earth with this ancient, peaceful, noninvasive species? If
we let the Sumatran rhino die, what are we going to save?"
t take that at all to mean that we're
constructing reality," he told LiveScience.All in the mindAs members of
society, people create a form of collective reality. "We are all part
of a community of minds," Freeman says in the show.For example, money,
in reality, consists of pieces of paper, yet those papers represent something
much more valuable. The pieces of paper have the power of life
and death, Freeman says but they wouldn't be worth anything if people
didn't believe in their power.Money is fiction, but it's useful fiction.Another
fiction humans collectively engage in is optimism. Neuroscientist Tali Sharot
of University College London studies "the optimism bias": people's tendency
to generally overestimate the likelihood of positive events in their lives
and underestimate the likelihood of negative ones.In the show, Sharot does
an experiment in which she puts a man in a brain scanner,
and asks him to rate the likelihood that negative events, such as
lung cancer, will happen to him. Then, he is given the true
likelihood.When the actual risks differ from the man's estimates, his frontal
lobes light up. But the brain area does a better job of
reacting to the discrepancy when the reality is more positive than what
he guessed, Sharot said.This shows how humans are somewhat hardwired to
be optimistic. That may be because optimism "tends to have a lot
of positive outcomes," Sharot told LiveScience. Optimistic people tend to
live longer

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">ed so many others was herself scooped -- by the first
lady. Pat Nixon was the one who announced to the Washington press
corps that Thomas was engaged to Douglas Cornell, chief White House correspondent
for UPI's archival, The Associated Press.They were married in 1971. Cornell
died 11 years later.Thomas stayed with UPI for 57 years, until 2000,
when the company was purchased by News World Communications, which was founded
by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, leader of the Unification Church.At age
79, Thomas was soon hired as a Washington-based columnist for newspaper
publisher Hearst Corp.A self-described liberal, Thomas made no secret of
her ill feelings for the second President Bush. "He is the worst
president in all of American history," she told the Daily Breeze of
Torrance, Calif.Thomas also was critical of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq,
asserting that the deaths of innocent people should hang heavily on Bush's
conscience."We are involved in a war that is becoming more dubious every
day," she said in a speech to thousands of students at Brigham
Young University in September 2003. "I thought it was wrong to invade
a country without any provocation."Some students walked out of the lecture.
She won over others with humorous stories from her "ringside seat" to
history.In March 2005, she confronted Bush with the proposition that "your
decision to invade Iraq has caused the deaths of thousands of Americans
and Iraqis" and every justification for
Democrats who accused Republicans of being anti-women during last years
campaign are strangely silent now that one of their own -- San
Diego Mayor Bob Filner -- is accused of groping and sexually assaulting
women."Don't identify him as my former colleague," an agitated House Democratic
Leader Nancy Pelosi reportedly said Thursday night when asked about the
claims against Filner.Pelosi worked alongside Filner for 10 years in Congress.
The two were founding members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and
Filner was a loyal foot soldier for the House leader, having spent
20 years in Congress. On Friday, however, Pelosi said, "What goes on
in San Diego is up to the people of San Diego. I'm
not here to make any judgments."Compare that to the scandal involving Florida
Rep. Mark Foley. Republican Foley was accused of sending sexually explicit
emails to a congressional page. On the very same day the story
broke, Pelosi took to the House floor to demand an investigation.Or consider
the case against Oregon Sen. Bob Packwood, accused of unwanted sexual advances
in November 1992. Two days later, the Oregon Democratic Party called for
his resignation, followed by a call from California Democratic Sen. Dianne
Feinstein. Twelve days after the story broke and before any investigation,
Feinstein said Packwood should resign if the allegations were true. A month
later, California's other senator, Barbara Boxer, said Packwood should resign
immediately
