"I didn't expect to find this," said Shawn Larson, the Aquarium's animal health and research coordinator. A healthy diet of clams helps 5-year-old sea otter Lootas, an orphaned wild otter who has always been hand-fed by humans, to reproduce. Melina Mara / Seattle Post-Intelligencer Click for larger photo Most people might not expect to find any significant scientific research at the Aquarium. But serious science is being done here with the hope of expanding from work now done on a shoestring budget to a major research program. What Larson found, soon to be published in a scientific journal, is evidence that the California, or southern, sea otter differs little genetically from the northern sea otter.

And is it possible for them both to coexist? These are the questions California marine officials are currently debating. Because sea otters have the capacity to practically decimate shellfish populations, California fishing groups are concerned that the shellfish industry, worth more than $100 million, may be at risk from these fuzzy creatures. They are appealing to the California Fish and Game Commission and state to take an active role in finding a solution to the mushrooming conflict between shellfish resources, fisheries and sea otters. The 2,000 sea otters living in California, are listed as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act. In 1986, a zonal management system that designated sea otter protection zones and otter-free shellfishing areas was established by Congress. It was suggestion by the Marine Mammal Commission and followed more than 20 years of controversy and debate. The legislation intended both to foster California sea otter recovery and protect valuable southern California shellfish resources from otter predation.

Mustelids are found are found on all continents except Antarctica and Australia. These carnivores range from very small (the least weasel is the smallest member of the order Carnivora, weighing 35-70 gms) to medium (a large sea otter weighs around 35-40 kg). Their body shapes vary greatly; many, however, are elongate and have relatively short legs. The tail is usually long, the ears small and rounded, and the eyes may be small. All mustelids have well-developed anal glands; these are potent weapons of defense in some species such as skunks. Mustelids are plantigrade or digitigrade , and their feet have five toes. The claws can be partially retracted in some species. Claws are developed in some, but generally they are short, laterally compressed, and curved. In otters, the hands and feet are webbed. Male mustelids have a well-developed baculum.

By Stephan Somogyi ZDNet News May 9, 2001, 5:00 PM PT Forward in Format for COMMENTARYWhen I first began programming, I wrote software in 68k assembler. I was one of those hardcore cycle-shavers who knew the fastest way to clear a data register was with a moveq rather than a clr, or whether a branch taken was faster than an untaken one (which depended on whether it was a short or long branch). I ultimately had to be forced to learn a higher-level language Modula-2 since I was perfectly comfortable with what I was doing, and felt that I was plenty productive. Reading Unreal developer Tim Sweeney's exegesis on programming languages about a year ago brought back many memories. Having recently re-read it, it started me thinking about what the next step in programming language evolution is going to be. Click Here Programming for programmers We've seen programming languages develop increasingly greater distance from the hardware they're meant to control. C provided a level of abstraction above assembly language, and C++ bolted numerous extensions onto C, creating what many consider an unwieldy monster. Having been witness to quite a few mind-curdling discussions during the past few years about what a given snippet of C++

114. Of Otters And Men Relaxed musings about the author's involvement in furry fandom. http://www.baverstock.org.uk/tim/furry.html

email home Of otters and men This is the bit where my work colleagues would probably tell you to run away. If you wander off to do a websearch for the word `furry', you're certain to encounter a number of sites describing Furry Fandom, a very broad grouping which currently seems to include anyone who's read Watership Down once or twice and thought it was good, all the way up to people who believe themselves to be wolves born to parents of the wrong species, and who try to work that out in every area of their lives, apart from using the internet, taking advantage of advances in medical science, getting well-paid jobs in California's computer industry, etc. My interest probably sits around the middle of the camp. I'm interested in mammals, particularly carnivores, particularly mustelids (the weasel family). I used to be wildly interested in foxes, learning all the different species, their latin names, some of their behaviours and locales, until one Christmas day, just after I'd been asked to set the table with the good silver. I found myself gazing at the wall of the dining room, not thinking of awfully much, when suddenly my enthusiasm for all things vulpine was removed - exactly as if someone had pulled my brain's Nintendo cartridge - and replaced with an equal focus on otters and other weasels. I enjoy cartoons (who doesn't) and I'm likely to be more sympathetic to a mediocre comic strip which involves talking animals than to one just involving humans. I particularly like ones where the animals talk, even talk with the humans, but they're still treated like animals: flea collars, eating from a bowl, etc. These include

Today, as in earlier years, the club is committed to maintaining and furthering water polo interests in the Huddersfield and Kirklees areas and to support this it has the use of two 25 metre pools with full water polo facilities and equipment at each venue. The facilities available give plenty of scope for the full range of coaching, training and competitive activities necessary for a membership of varying ages and abilities. The Friday night session at the Huddersfield Sports Centre follows the club's swimming session for beginners and younger swimmers which runs from 7.00pm to 8.00pm. The water polo session commences at 8.00pm with the 25m pool facility shared with younger players practice for mini-polo up to 9.00pm and general training for older players to 9.30 pm. The Tuesday night session is from 8.30pm to 10.00pm and is based at the McAlpine Stadium Pool which gives us an excellent full depth water polo facility.
