    Official: DNA tests confirm IDs of Russian czar's children - MSNBC Wire Services- msnbc.com

    It's kind of sad to have this historical mystery solved once and for all. It was more fun to imagine a secret royal blood line out there. I guess I'll just have to stick to reading historical fiction.

    Quoted: DNA tests carried out by a U.S. laboratory prove that remains exhumed last year belong to two children of Czar Nicholas II, putting to rest questions about what happened to Russia's last royal family, a regional governor said Wednesday.

    Group: Amur leopard close to extinction - CNN.com

    This is very sad to hear. Is there any reason to still be poaching animals such as these?

    Quoted: Logging, building, farming and poaching have virtually killed off the Amur Leopard, environmentalists said on Wednesday.

    There are only 25 to 34 of the graceful animals still living in the wild, WWF said at a news briefing in Moscow to report on the results of a census of leopard numbers in Russia's Far East. At least 100 would be needed to guarantee the species' survival.
