Nearly 150 dolphins feared dead in Japan despite rescue bid
Rescuers were forced to abandon efforts to save around 150 melon-headed whales that stranded on a beach in Japan on Friday, after frantically trying all day to save them.
As darkness fell, local officials in Hokota, about 100 kilometres (60 miles) northeast of Tokyo, said they had been able to save only three of the 149 animals that had beached and that the rescue effort had been called off.
The rest of the creatures, a member of the dolphin family usually found in the deep ocean, had either died or were dying, they said.
"It was becoming dark and too dangerous to continue the rescue work at this beach, where we could not bring heavy equipment," said an unnamed Hokota city official.
"Many people volunteered to rescue them but the dolphins became very, very weak."
"Only three of them have been successfully returned to the sea, as far as we can confirm," he added.
Locals and coastguard teams had battled through the day to save the animals, trying to stop their skin from drying out as they lay on the sand.
Others were carried in slings back towards the ocean.
An AFP journalist at the scene said that some of the creatures were being pushed back onto the beach by the tide soon after being released, despite efforts to return them to the water.
"We see one or two whales washing ashore a year, but this may be the first time we have found over 100 of them on a beach," a coastguard official told AFP.
The pod was stretched out along a roughly 10-kilometre-long stretch of beach in the Ibaraki area, where they were found by locals early Friday morning.
"They are alive. I feel sorry for them," one man at the scene told public broadcaster NHK, as others ferried buckets of seawater to the stranded animals to pour over them.
Massive efforts were required to get the three that survived back into the water.
Rescuers wrapped them with blankets before putting them on a coastguard vessel. The animals were taken to waters about 10 kilometres from the shore and released, according to NHK.
Footage showed many of the less fortunate animals laying in shallow waters, too weak to swim, being pushed back and forth by the waves.

Facebook Sued By 25,000 Users Over Privacy
Facebook is being sued in Austria over alleged privacy violations and claimed participation in the US National Security Agency's (NSA) PRISM programme.
An Austrian law graduate called Max Schrems is leading the class action lawsuit on behalf of around 25,000 Facebook users based in Europe and beyond.
Among them are more than 1,000 people from the UK and Ireland.
Germany, regarded as one of Europe's more privacy-conscious countries, has the highest number of people backing the case with more than 5,000 users.
The hearing is set to begin in Vienna, where Mr Schrems will say Facebook took a "Wild West" approach to data protection.
He said: "Basically, we are asking Facebook to stop mass surveillance, to (have) a proper privacy policy that people can understand, but also to stop collecting data of people that are not even Facebook users.
"There is a wide number of issues in the lawsuit and we hope to kind of win all of them and to get a landmark case against US data-gathering companies."
The case has been brought against the social network's European headquarters in Dublin.
All accounts outside the US and Canada are registered there - around 80% of the site's 1.3 billion users.
Mr Schrems is seeking compensation of around £360 per user.
In June 2013 Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg denied that Facebook had taken part in the NSA's spying programme to share user information with the US government.

SLU Hymn - Handog ng SLU Centennial sa Baguio
St. Louis University Alumni International (Baguio City Philippines) Grand Reunion 2014
The President’s New Year Message 2015
Dear Louisians,
Trusting in the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, we look back to 2014 with gratitude for all that was and we look forward to 2015 for all that will be with hope.
The year 2014 at SLU was marked with bold innovations that included SLU’s major initiative to push for academic calendar change, as one viable step towards the integration Philippine HEIs in the ASEAN educational region. Another requirement for the said cross-national integration of educational systems was the Outcomes-based Education (OBE) model, which was successfully launched in SLU and is soon going to be completed in 2015. Also, to complement SLU’s tradition of academic excellence through commendable board examination performances, new forms of cooperation were established with some Southeast Asian counterparts, aiming at the increase of opportunities for both faculty and students.
Finally, as the motto of the university’s foundation week concisely expressed it, working as one academic community means to love and to serve in the CICM way: Amare et Servire. And if there is one event which the Catholic faithful of our nation are looking forward to, it is the upcoming visit of His Holiness Pope Francis. I believe that the motto Amare et Servire wonderfully summarizes the attitude and spirituality of the Pope and succinctly resonates with His Holiness’ Mercy and Compassion leadership example. I therefore encourage all of you to follow the upcoming events as we welcome Pope Francis to our land.
I pray for a happy and rewarding 2015 to all of us, under God’s blessing and guidance!
