Service dog reject Ricochet becomes surfer dude

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Ricochet is a service dog dropout. It is not that she was not dog enough. To the contrary, there was way too much dog in her.
Her undoing? Chasing birds. But she found redemption in the ocean, surfing to raise money for a quadriplegic teen.
Ricochet, a 19 month old golden retriever, lives with Judy Fridono. The two set out to raise $7,000 to help Patrick Ivision.
Ricochet plans to continue hanging 20 and raising money to help with Ivision’s physical therapy.
Ivision had been surfing adaptively for about seven years, so it seemed natural that they would meet and team up. He said he couldn’t ride the adaptive surfboard, which built for two people, without Ricochet.
“She acts as that second person. She knows how to balance, too. She leans back and turns the board and it’s pretty cool to watch.”
The two started surfing together in August. During dozens of rides, they have wiped out just a few times, Fridono said. Ivision never surfs alone － a support team of family and friends keeps him from getting in trouble in the water. And Ricochet never leaves his side when they topple.

Frozen sperm produces panda cub in China

BEIJING (AP)－For the first time, a giant panda cub has been born in China after being conceived using frozen sperm, officials announced Friday－an innovation scientists hope will help the endangered species avoid extinction.
The new cub’s birth Thursday means breeders will no longer be forced to rely on semen from China’s few virile males, and may even be able to bring in sperm from zoos in San Diego, Mexico City or elsewhere.
That is key to promoting a healthy panda population because too much inbreeding can lead to birth defects that would further threaten the survival of the species.
The new cub, born to You You, a female panda at the Wolong Giant Panda Research Center in southwestern Sichuan Province, is the 10th born at the breeding facility this year. It was You You’s third successful pregnancy.
Just after dawn, the pinkish, hairless cub emerged, and its mother was shown licking the tiny wiggling creature to clean it on footage broadcast by the state television channel CCTV.
Panda researchers said Friday it was the first successful live birth worldwide using frozen panda sperm.
“We did try before but it failed,” said Huang Yan, a deputy research technician with the China Panda Preservation Research Center.

I read this book “Stories of Snowmen” Why I chose this book that book’s cover was so cute. Recently, it is too hot so I want to feel coolness. Which do you like better, winter or summer? I like winter more than summer because I can not stand hot. The story is in winter so I thought that I can get cool. In addition, I have never seen much snow and big snowmen so I was interested this book.

The main characters in this book are Jack, snowman and Mr. Oats. Jack made snowman hard because he wanted to make the best snowman ever. The snowman is really nice!! He had two black pebbles’ eyes, four more for a smiley mouth, carrot nose, hat and scarf. He is as tall as Jack. Jack named him ‘Chilly’.

One day, Mr. Oats who lives next door was putting up a sign. It was invitation of ‘Grand Christmas Party’. They prepared for the big bonfire next to snowman. The next morning, they found that the bonfire disappeared. Mr. Oats doubted Jack and he was angry at him. Jack feels terrible and he thinks “who would steal a bonfire?” He went out and he found that Chilly is taking down the bonfire. Chilly is alive!! They were surprised each other. What is interesting, all snowmen come alive at night. Why he took down the bonfire, the bonfire located in close to Chilly. Jack thought well and he moved the bonfire far from Chilly. They worked hard and built a new large bonfire!

Mr. Oats and Jack made up a quarrel and they enjoyed Christmas Party! It was so happy and interesting story. I liked it and I could feel cool a little. I wanted to meet Mr. Oats and take part in the party.

BR2-05: The dinosaur Who Lost His Roar

Posted: December 15th, 2009, 11:40am PST

This is a story of five dinosaurs. They are Sid, Ross, Ollie, Spike and Rex. The reason why I choice this book is I’m interested in dinosaurs and this book seems to be funny. And a cover is cute.

Sid is an active dinosaur. He lived in big forest and he enjoyed crashing through bushes, climbing tall trees, splashing in the river. Especially, Sid liked scaring other dinosaurs to roar. Sid’s roar is the loudest. Everyday, Sid tried to scar other dinosaurs to roar. Spike, Ross and Ollie were scared by Sid. They didn’t like being scared. One day, Sid’s throat hurt. So he couldn’t roar loudly and scare anyone. Spike, Ross and Ollie laughed at him. He didn’t feel good, so he tried to care his throat. The next day, his throat was better, and he tried to apologize to them for scaring. But he couldn’t find other dinosaurs anywhere. Then, he noticed footprints on the ground. Sid followed the footprints. There was a Rex there with other dinosaurs. Rex was a huge dinosaur. Rex was about to eat Spike, Ross and Ollie. Sid was an only dinosaur can help them. He roared loudly and Rex scared. The four dinosaurs could run away from Rex. At last, they could be friends.
This is like a Sid’s story. I like this story. Sid has a nice courage. I hope I want to be like a Sid.

[Boom in Japan]

Hello!! I will talk about boom in Japan.
What boom do you come in?
At present, we hit by the big depression. We are fired from office, canceled unofficial decision of job and decreased classified advertisement by it. We are affected so much by the depression. Our life is gradually strict so we must stand something to buy, to eat and to play. What’s more we must work so harder than before.

I think we will gradually pile up stress so we need to care. People look for care to escape from much stress. The care is………BEAR! I think bear is trend now. It is especially bear character. For example, teddy bear, Care bear, Su-zi-zoo and Rirakkuma. This picture is these bear characters. It is very cute. These bear character is especially popular in young woman.
Many young women have their stuffed toy, pen case, notebook and key holder. I also have these. This is my Care bear. Bear goods is sold very much as various things.
But, Surprise that, Not only they take bear goods but also oneself try to be a bear. They wear the soft clothes, hats and boots. The appearance is just bear. Why do they try to be bear? I think they also try to give care for around the people. They wanted to common to care except for themselves.
