Giant stingray reeled in Thailand
February 24, 2009--Fishers and scientists announced this week the catch, and release, of what is likely the world's largest known freshwater giant stingray.
The giant stingray, weighing an estimated 550 to 990 pounds (250 to 450 kilograms) was reeled in on January 28, 2009, as part of a National Geographic expedition in Thailand.
The stringray's body measured 6.6 feet (2 meters) wide by 6.9 feet (2.1) meters long. The tail was missing. If it had been there, the ray's total length would have been between 14.8 and 16.4 feet (4.5 and 5 meters), estimated University of Nevada Biologist Zeb Hogan.
Hogan was in Thailand searching for giant fish as part of the Megafishes Project—an effort to document Earth's 20 or so freshwater giants.
The new find gives Hogan hope that the giant stingray, once overfished, may be more abundant than previously thought. And it may confirm the giant stingray as the heavyweight champ of the Megafishes Project.

Weird fish with transparent head
February 23, 2009--With a head like a fighter-plane cockpit, a Pacific barreleye fish shows off its highly sensitive, barrel-like eyes--topped by green, orblike lenses--in a picture released today but taken in 2004.Link
The fish, discovered alive in the deep water off California's central coast by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), is the first specimen of its kind to be found with its soft transparent dome intact.
The 6-inch (15-centimeter) barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) had been known since 1939--but only from mangled specimens dragged to the surface by nets.

Customizing your own theme for Gmail
Official Gmail Blog: Choose your own theme colors:
"Since we launched themes for Gmail, many people have asked, not surprisingly, whether they can customize the look of their inboxes without having to use some advanced scripting magic. And while you can't make custom themes that change with the weather like some of the pre-set options, you can now choose your own Gmail colors.
Just click on the Settings link in the upper right hand corner of your screen, select the Themes tab, and find the "Choose your own colors" option at the bottom of that page. You'll be able to select colors for everything from the background of your inbox to link text.
Companies that use Google Apps won't see the options for themes yet, but we're working on getting themes to you too."

This video is from Hordes of Chaos is the twelfth studio album (2009) by German thrash metal band Kreator. It has been described as their most organic album to date due to the fact that, barring vocals, guitar solos and some melodies, the album was recorded in a live setting on analog tape recorder with very few overdubs. Frontman Mille Petrozza noted that this is the first time they have recorded an album this way since Pleasure to Kill in 1986. -wikipedia

Semarak sembilan masjid di Selangor:
GOMBAK: Sebanyak sembilan masjid di seluruh Selangor akan disemarakkan dengan penganjuran Karnival Masjid Selangor sepanjang tahun ini.
Selain menyampaikan informasi zakat kepada masyarakat setempat, program sempena Tahun Zakat Selangor 1403 itu juga bertujuan mendidik orang ramai supaya menjadikan masjid sebagai nadi dalam kehidupan harian mereka.
Masjid As-Syakirin di sini dipilih menjadi masjid pertama program yang dijangka berterusan selama setahun di sembilan daerah di Selangor itu.
Ketua Bahagian Komunikasi Korporat Lembaga Zakat Selangor, Noormala Mohd Sa’ad, berkata program itu diharap dapat menarik minat golongan muda untuk ke masjid.
“Selain daripada masjid dijadikan sebagai tempat beribadat, kami mahu ia dijadikan sebuah institusi bagi golongan muda menjana ekonomi dan pendidikan.
“Insya-Allah dengan adanya program seperti ini sedikit sebanyak dapat menarik minat golongan berkenaan ke arah kebaikan,” katanya.
Katanya, selain jualan gerai yang dapat meningkatkan ekonomi peniaga setempat, karnival dua hari itu turut diserikan dengan kehadiran penceramah bebas terkenal tanah air.

MISCELLANY
On January 28, the U.S. and Canada joined 27 European countries to celebrate Data Privacy Day. As the volume of data uploaded to the Internet every day grows exponentially, it becomes more and more important to understand the benefits and risks of online communications -- and to learn how to use tools to control and manage information you share online. To mark this special day of awareness, we joined U.S. and European government officials and key members of the privacy community on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., to discuss how to increase public awareness about data privacy. In addition to these efforts, we work to connect directly with everyone who uses our products too. Our Privacy Center offers information, tips and videos that explain how we're committed to protecting your online privacy and how you can control what data you share. If you haven't been there yet, we encourage you to visit. And, we'll continue to add new information, so check back often.
