Six-legged 'hexapus' claimed as world first in Britain http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080303/sc_afp/sciencebritainanimalhexapusoffbeat LONDON (AFP) - British marine experts have found what they claim is a world first -- a six-legged octopus, or "hexapus," whom they have christened Henry. The unique sea creature, which has two limbs fewer than a normal octopus, is believed to be the result of a birth defect rather than an accident, say his keepers at the Blackpool Sea Life Centre in northwest England. "We've scoured the Internet and talked to lots of other aquariums and no-one has ever heard of another case of a six-legged octopus," said supervisor Carey Duckhouse. Henry was discovered in a lobster pot off the north Wales coast two weeks ago, and was one of eight creatures that Sea Life staff picked up from a local marine zoo there -- where staff hadn't noticed his missing legs. It was only when he attached himself to the inside of a glass tank that Sea Life staff noticed he was two limbs short of a full set. Octopuses are renowned for having three hearts and blue blood, but not usually six legs. "He's a lovely little thing," said a spokeswoman, adding that he will go on display to the public later this month.

(Special thanks to JB for turning me on to the octopus/Potato-Head trend) Lurking at the Aquarium, Brilliant Houdinis of the Deep By Darragh Johnson, Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, August 16, 2006; Page C01 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/15/AR2006081500916.html A leading indicator of octopus intelligence is that they get bored. A leading indicator of human intelligence is that the humans at Washington's National Aquarium have figured out this, despite long-standing prejudice against octopuses: That they are invertebrates , all squish and shape-change, and one of their greatest tricks is squeezing through something that's the dimension of their eye -- which makes them sound like worms. Out of hunger for amusement -- not necessarily food or freedom -- they can maneuver out of tanks whose covers have been held down by 40 pounds of concrete blocks, and climb into the tanks of other sea creatures and eat them. They can die of boredom -- by climbing out, but not finding a tank to climb back in. Perhaps recalling the suicide note of British actor George Sanders: "Goodbye. I am leaving because I am bored." Hence, while better-behaved angelfish and clams entertain themselves, it is the job of the aquarium staff to entertain octopuses as if they were bright, spoiled and manipulative children demanding attention. Just now, one of those humans has dropped a green plastic alien action figure into the tank. "Oooooo," croons the crowd as a 6-month-old, five-pound great Pacific octopus stretches out a long, red arm. She lassos the alien's head and swings it toward her mouth. "What's he doing with the alien?" worries Patrick Orwin, 9. Then a pair of big blue feet splashes into the tank. The octopus drops the alien and reaches for the feet, which sink fast. The objects are followed by a brown body, a Tom Selleck mustache, a red Bozo nose and a green plastic ball cap. "Mr. Potato Head!" a few children squeal, and immediately Shania (who came from Canada and was dubbed Shania Twain by the aquarium's director) hugs herself around him. Minutes pass. The octopus-keeper has hidden smelt inside the plastic potato, but so far, Shania ignores the food. She's more into snuggling. "You guys!" shouts a boy in the crowd. "Look at that! Look at that !" Ah, the creepy-crawly creature, the swarming arms, that deep-sea demeanor. This is the bearer of intelligence? "That was my attitude, too," confesses science writer Eugene Linden, who has written about animal intelligence since the 1970s and had focused, mostly, on the "big-brained" creatures such as apes, dolphins, elephants and whales. "I shared all the prejudices everybody else has." Then he started hearing octopus stories. Like how they can open screw-top jars and hamster balls and child-proof caps. They can do mazes and learn shapes and distinguish colors and use tools. "They play," says Jennifer Mather, a psychologist and octopus expert at Canada's University of Lethbridge. There are even hints that octopuses have a sense of humor, Linden says. He talks about the finicky octopus who, in a lab in Pennsylvania, was served slightly spoiled shrimp. The octopus refused to finish its dinner, and when the feeding researcher returned to its tank, the octopus made eye contact with her, then meaningfully pushed all the shrimp down the drain. And Linden talks about the octopus that glided along the seafloor while holding a shell like a helmet over its head, as seen by the former director of the New York Aquarium, who was scuba diving in New England. As Linden writes in his 2002 book "The Octopus and the Orangutan: More True Tales of Animal Intrigue, Intelligence, and Ingenuity," it was as if the octopus were saying: I want to be a mollusk protected by its shell -- and not a mollusk protected by its wits. "If you don't have a shell to hide in," says octopus-expert Mather, "you better be smart." "They're really quite beguiling and fun to spend time with," says Linden. "They seem to have a personality." Their personalities can be so strong that, at the Seattle Aquarium, octopus names describe their characteristics, like "Emily Dickinson," the shy mollusk who always hid; and "Lucretia McEvil," the troublemaker who tore up her tank; and "Leisure Suit Larry," who, notes Seattle Aquarium biologist Roland C. Anderson, "would have been arrested for sexual assault because his arms were all over you." "Look!" chirps a mother, Stephanie Sanders. "She's got Potato Head glued to the wall!" The crowd in front of Shania's tank keeps growing: About a dozen people jostle for a better view, and small children squeeze between the adults and push their hands and faces to the glass. Shania lets go of Mr. Potato Head. Rick Quintero, an aquarist, herpetologist and Shania's keeper and personal enrichment tutor, dips a hand into her tank. He's holding an inch-long slice of smelt. Ignoring the fish, she grabs hold of Quintero's hand and doesn't let go, even when he starts to pull away. He nearly lifts the five-pound animal out of the water. "Wow -- look at the suction on those limbs!" Patrick Orwin says. An 8-year-old named Mary Mills Lochala starts giggling. "The octopus is tickling him!" Eventually the day's class ends. Shania has played with a chartreuse hamster ball, has plucked the mustache from Mr. Potato Head's face and is still holding on to his Bozo nose. She hasn't eaten much, so Quintero leaves behind the toys in which her food is hidden. Shania's tank is kept much dimmer than others at the aquarium, lest too much light make her nervous. Octopuses have been around since the dinosaurs and can seem more primitive than ancient or wise. They're capable of lifting four times their body weight -- a feat that screams muscle beach, not ivory tower. They change color. Ask Quintero exactly what shade of red she is, and he answers: "She'll make a liar out of you: As soon as you call her one color, she'll change." And she does. Just before she starts playing with the alien and Mr. Potato Head, and before the thick crowd has gathered around her tank, Shania is a solid, vivid coral-red. But by the time she's cuddling with the Potato, she's turned an elaborately patterned white-and-crimson polka dot. Replacing the Velcro-sealed top to Shania's tank, Quintero weights it with concrete blocks. The children remain pressed against the window. A 7-year-old from Michigan named Jill Neumann says, almost to herself: "That's a sweet octopus. I would like it for a pet." Her mother, Jeanne Neumann, reacts quickly: "Uh, nooo thank you," she says. "No." Quintero reappears in front of Shania's tank, in his blue National Aquarium staff polo shirt. He is talking about how Shania's predecessor, a shy male, spent about 80 percent of his time hiding within the tank's rocks, while Shania spends 80 percent of her time in plain view. It's a question of personality. She will soon move to a new and bigger tank, here in the basement of the Commerce Building, and they expect her to grow to about 30 or 40 pounds. Another mother, Julia Helveston, turns away from the tank and says to Quintero, "They're smart, aren't they?" He beams. Shania is his girl -- the smartest in the aquarium. Other animals get attention and enrichment, too, but it's nothing like what she gets. Once a week, the two alligators are thrown some big leaves of lettuce and hundreds of crickets -- stuff that glints and moves and gives the animals an excuse to attack something that isn't the other alligator. But there it's aggression, not intelligence or boredom, that demands attention. As Quintero says, "Not every tank gets Mr. Potato Head." The National Aquarium is in the Commerce Department Building, on 14th Street NW between Pennsylvania and Constitution avenues. Open daily 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; admission $2-$5.

Last night Bas came over. He arrived before I did, and we left directly for the fabric shop to buy him fixin’s for a new costume. Upon returning to the house, I jumped into the sewing project, drafting a new pattern. By 11:00 I was totally exhausted, not really having slept much the night before. I decided to go to bed, and upon entering my room discover a large box with my name on it. I look at Bas, and he’s grinning like the Cheshire Cat. I open the box and what should I find but the coolest unbirthday gift EVER! Bas bought me a Nikon F2 to replace my Nikon F that died about three years ago. Oh, bliss! So pretty. My new baby has a motor drive, and weighs about 5 lbs. It’s all metal. You can drive nails with it. This is one of the finest cameras ever made. This is a photo journalist’s camera. It makes me feel small. My boyfriend rocks.

Heros Needed

dianakaufmann — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 16:53:42 GMT

So my friend Andy is serving in Iraq right now. His son, Hunter, is 6 1/2 years old. Recently Hunter asked his mom if he could join the Army. She asked what he wanted to do in the Army, and he told her he didn't want to fight but wanted to help out and maybe do some chores to help his dad out. He wants to be the "chore guy". So he asked his dad what he could do to help and his dad told Hunter that his team is trying to get superhero costumes to donate to the kids in Abu-Ghraib, Iraq. They love all things superhero and since Hunter had a few used, but still good, costumes he should send them over there so other kids may enjoy them as well. So now Hunter has a goal to send 100 super hero costumes to the children of Iraq. So I thought I'd help and ask around. Does anyone have any old costumes lying around? You can give them to me, or mail them directly to Hunter. PM me for his address. Thanks!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070716/ap_on_re_eu/israel_holocaust_s_children The link will take you to a news story about a class action law suit by some Israelis who are suing the German government to pay for their psychiatric bills because, as they put it, the scars of the Nazi genocide on their parents have crossed generations. They are calling themselves Second Generation Holocaust Survivors. Please. I know unspeakable horrors occurred. My family also suffered in the Holocaust. My mother and father can't sleep in the same bedroom because my father still experiences night terrors. Growing up I was constantly reminded how good I had it, and that I didn’t know what suffering was. I was reprimanded and sat though many lectures about starvation and how my father had to eat insects and tree bark to survive, all because I didn’t want to eat a radish. Yet I somehow never felt this was the blame for any failures in my life. And even if my dad had scarred me, I don‘t think I would ever have had the gall to sue the CURRENT government of the country that once had a Nazi government, made defunct over 60 years ago. No amount of money will ever make it better. It seems to me that making the ancestors of the criminals pay is rather misdirected.

Students accused of having sex in Spearsville [Louisiana] classroom http://www.thenewsstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070330/NEWS01/703300345/1002 By Sharryn Harvey A Spearsville High School teacher said Thursday an incident involving fifth-graders having sex in a classroom is one of many things wrong at the school. First-year teacher Michael Walker said students at the kindergarten through 12th grade school are unruly, disrespectful — and rarely disciplined. "They cuss at the teachers and throw things at them, and nothing is done," Walker said. "There was even one student who grabbed a teacher in the butt and nothing was done. The students run the school." Walker, who teaches fifth- through-eighth-grade English, said teachers learned Wednesday about fifth-graders having sex in a classroom during a Tuesday afternoon assembly. The assembly was to discuss Dorrian Morris, the 15-year-old who is being held in connection with the stabbing death of another teen over the weekend in Bernice. Walker said the older kids were called to the assembly. Fifth grade and younger students did not participate. "The fifth-graders are in a red portable building separate from the rest of the school," Walker said. "They never let them know there was an assembly going on." Usually, one of the two fifth-grade classes is sent to the main building for second hour, Walker said. "The teacher thought it was a normal day and sent the kids to second hour," he said. "She didn't know the teacher that would normally be in there was still at the assembly." It was in that room that two students had sex on the floor while two others fondled each other, he said. "There were about 15 kids in that class," Walker said. "I can't believe they did it right in front of everyone." The students were alone for about 30 minutes before a teacher walked into the room, Walker said. By then, the students had cleaned up blood that was on the floor, possibly from a girl's menstrual period. "The boy who had sex had gone down to the office and changed his pants and everything," Walker said. "It wasn't just a few minutes; it was an elaborately planned-out thing." Teachers began to hear rumors around school Wednesday and by the end of the school day, the students involved had confessed. "We had the students in the class write down what they heard and the kids started spilling their guts," Walker said. School officials Thursday morning notified the Union Parish Sheriff's Office and detectives questioned students. Superintendent Judy Mabry visited the school Thursday but would only say the incident is being investigated. Frank Futch, principal of the school, said this was an "unfortunate" incident, but not a reflection of how things are run at the school. "This is one incident and everyone is making a big deal out of it," Futch said. "I never had a teacher complain to me, but I have heard them complain to each other. "You're always going to have those students that are unruly," he continued. Futch said the students were left alone for only a few minutes during the assembly. "I didn't get much sleep about this incident," he said. Futch then declined to comment any further. Sheriff Bob Buckley said charges are possible in the incident. "I have zero tolerance for drugs, violence or anything like that that goes on in school," Buckley said. "There will probably be charges coming out of this." According to Walker, three students were either expelled or sent to an alternative school and two others got detention. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 368-3124.

A Girl's Best Friend?

dianakaufmann — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 21:04:31 GMT

“Let’s see the rock!” I once whacked a friend when that was her first response to one of our friends announcing her engagement. I always hated that people were measuring the bridegroom’s love by how big the diamond was. Tacky. One would hope that by now we would have moved beyond this “bride price” mentality in our culture. I guess not. Go see the movie Blood Diamonds. I know it’s certainly not a feel good film we all look for at this time of year, and who really wants to think about all the ugliness that makes our pretty things, but it’s a film that may make you think... a film with a good message, one we shouldn’t turn away from. I know many of my friends won’t wear fur and don’t eat meat on account of how people treat animals… isn’t it about time we look at how people treat their fellow humans for the sake of something shiny? (BTW - di Caprio is great; gone is the whiney actor we once knew in Romeo + Juliet and Titanic.) This isn’t a new soap box I jumped onto because I saw a film, I have long considered DeBeers one of the world’s worst companies, their business practices monstrous. I wish they would go under. If you can stomach it, here are pictures, taken a few years ago, of diamond mine workers in Sierra Leone. http://www.zreportage.com/blood_diamonds_site.shtml

I can’t focus today.

The DJ in my head has had David Bowie’s “Life on Mars” on heavy rotation all day. I can’t shake it, and instead of working on the report I have to do, I keep finding myself drifting off and analyzing the lyrics. To add to my scattered mental capacity, I’m going to Disneyland tonight. YAY! Two more hours and I can get the hell out of here. But tell me, is there life on Mars?
