Researchers Catch Deepest Ever Living Fish On Film
Scientists say they may have discovered the "deepest ever" living fish.
The 17-strong shoal were found by a UK-Japan team at depths of 7.7km (4.8 miles) in the Japan Trench in the Pacific where they were able to capture them on film.
The catch was made using remote-operated landers designed to withstand immense pressures to comb the world's deepest depths for marine life.
The 30cm-long (12in), deep-sea fish were surprisingly "cute", according to Monty Priede from the University of Aberdeen said.
The fish, known as Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis, can be seen darting about in the darkness of the depths, scooping up shrimp.
"It was an honor to see these fish," said Alan Jamieson, from the University of Aberdeen.
"No-one has ever seen fish alive at these depths before – you just never know what you are going to see when you get down there."
The Abyssobrotula galatheae holds the deepest record for any caught fish when it was pulled from the bottom of the Puerto Rico Trench at a depth of more than 8km (5 miles) in 1970. However, it was dead by the time it reached the surface.
The previous record for any fish to have been spotted alive was thought to have stood at about 7km (4 miles).
Started in 2007, the Hadeep project is a collaboration between the University of Aberdeen's Oceanlab and the University of Tokyo's Ocean Research Institute (Ori) and aims to expand our knowledge of biology in the deepest depths of the ocean.
The Nippon Foundation and the Natural Environment Research Council (Nerc) funded the project.
The team had been exploring the Hadal zone – the area of ocean that sits between 6,000 and 11,000m (20,000-36,000ft). It consists of very narrow trench systems, most of which are found around the Pacific Rim.
Using specially designed remote operated vehicles that are fitted with cameras, the researchers are able to better explore the trenches.
"There is the question of how do animals live at all at these kinds of depths," said Professor Priede, director of Oceanlab.
"There are three problems: the first is food supply, which is very remote and has to come from 8km (5 miles) above.
"There is very high pressure – they have to have all sorts of physiological modifications, mainly at the molecular level.
"And the third problem is that these deep trenches are in effect small islands in the wide abyss and there is a question of whether these trenches are big enough to support thriving endemic populations."
But Professor Priede said this species appears to have overcome these issues.
"We have spotted these creatures at depths of 7,703m (25,272ft) – and we have actually found a massive group of them.
"And this video is pretty tantalizing – the fact that there are 17 of them implies that they could well be a family group, begging the question of whether some form of parental care exists for these fish."
The researchers were surprised by the fish's behavior.
"We certainly thought, deep down, fish would be relatively inactive, saving energy as much as possible, and so on," Professor Priede told BBC News.
"But when you see the video, the fish are rushing around, feeding accurately, snapping at prey coming past."
Thriving in complete darkness, the fish use vibration receptors on their snouts to navigate the ocean depths and to locate food.
"Nobody has seen fish alive before at these depths – only pickled in museums – and by the time they come up from the depths they look in a pretty sorry state," Priede added.
"But these fish are actually very cute."
Alan Jamieson said he thinks the team would find more fish during their next expedition in March 2009, which would probe the ocean between depths of 6,000m and 9,000m.
"Nobody has really been able to look at these depths before – I think we will see some fish living much deeper."

The Codex Chisianus 87, first published at Rome in 1772, is for Susanna, as for Daniel, the sole authority for the Greek of the Septuagint. It is a ninth-century cursive, and at the end of Dan. 12 says it was copied from an exemplar with this subscription: ἔγραφη ἐκ τῶν τετραπλῶν ἐξ ὧν καὶ παρετέθη. Its text is thus only once removed from the recension of the LXX made by Origen c. a.d. 240. The Codex Chisianus receives important corroboration from the Syro-Hexaplar Codex, written in Alexandria a.d. 616–617 by Mar Paulus of Mesopotamia. The LXX text from Origen's Hexapla is rendered literally into Syriac. The agreement of Chisianus with the Syro-Hexaplar gives assurance for the LXX text of Susanna as approved by Origen. The Old Latin versions and quotations in the Fathers do not suffice to fix a generally received text at an earlier period.
Theodotion's version of Susanna was adopted into the Greek Bible in place of LXX. It has thus all the MS. evidence available for the Greek Daniel in the Church Bible, and is found in Codex Vaticanus B, Codex Alexandrinus A, and in Cod. Marchalianus Q, sixth century. The text here used is that of Swete, vol. 3.
Among MSS. two in Hebrew require notice, because the question of a Semitic original is much discussed, and because one of these MSS. has been supposed to contain the Semitic original of certain apocryphal books.1
In Bodley's Library at Oxford is a MS. (Heb. d. 11, Catalogue No. 2797) called Sepher haz-Zikhronoth, compiled by Asher hal-Levi about a.d. 1325, written in German rabbinical character. It contains legendary matter illustrating Biblical history from the Creation to the time of the Maccabees. The catalogue describes the contents of the part preceding Susanna as a Hebrew translation of the Aramaic passages in Daniel by Yerạmeel, … the Aramaic text of the Song of the Three Children, the history of Bel and the Dragon in Syriac in Hebrew characters without a Hebrew translation. In fol. 74 b begins the Midrash concerning Ahab and Zedekiah (Jer. 29:21). Fol. 75 a and 75 b contain the Story of Susanna in Hebrew, occupying fifty-three lines. A later hand has headed the page: מעשה שושנה בימי רניאל. The story itself begins a new paragraph headed זה מעשה שושנה. After Susanna the history of Nebuchadnezzar is resumed. The compiler considered the elders identical with the false prophets mentioned by Jeremiah, and located the story in Babylon. Has this Hebrew text any claim to be considered the original of the LXX and Theodotion? The Greek versions have some thirty verses nearly identical; in these passages this MS. omits much, adds not a little, and freely paraphrases the rest. Two translators, however arbitrary, could not make this text responsible for the agreements or divergences that exist in LXX and Theodotion. The language is in parts a fair imitation of Biblical Hebrew: in other parts it is not; e.g. v. 23 θ´ fol. 75, l. 18, צבאות שמו׳קזח לאג עישומו ליצם ארונהו רוביגה לודגה בוטהו קידצה דיב הלופאו יל בטום; fol. 76, l. 29, a supplement to θ´ v. 59 שאין בגן לא זה אילן ולא זה אילן והלכו וראו האמת; for הִנֵּה we find הרי three times; for 'thereupon' מיר with a Perf. three times; twice there appears גינת הביתו for 'the garden of his house'. The compiler of the MS. evidently knew Syriac, and may have carelessly followed some Syriac version in writing the story for the amusement of his heirs male. His object appears in his preface: 'Blessed be my descendants, and may they be established if they fulfil my wishes.'
The second Hebrew MS. is also in the Bodleian (Heb. MS. e. 12, Catal. No. 2777). The volume, with which the leaf containing Susanna is bound up, contains hymns, astronomical tables, &c., disorderly arranged. The copyist of fol. 3 signs himself Mordecai ben Samuel, and finished his work a.d. 1691. A note on f. 71 implies the date a.d. 1737.
Susanna occupies both sides of one folio, 55, thirty-five lines on the first page, thirty-four on the other. The story conforms closely to the Greek of Theodotion, so closely that either the Vulgate or Theodotion must have been used by the translator into Hebrew. The additions and omissions in Heb. e. 12 are not many and not important. The garden, v. 3, 'has all kinds of trees'; the elders are called 'priests'; the maids fetch soap going out 'by the doors of the house'. The Hebrew is more idiomatic than in MS. d. 11. Yet here too we have a version. The writer has not understood v. 5, yet has tried to be faithful to the obscurity of the Greek. מבבל מהשופטים הראשונים ויקומו שופטים אחרים וילכו אחרי ה֗ À ונעשז אז באותו הזמן שני כהנים ברצון ה֗ שופטים כי סר העון [העון. Again, in v. 15 he has failed to recognize the Greek form of כִּתְמוֹל שִׁלְשֹׁם and renders: ויהי כראותם אותה בכל יום קרה ביום השלישי ורצתה לילך עם שתי נערוּת לרחוץ עצמה … In v. 18 he ignores the gender in the verbs; περιπατούντων ἡμῶν = כשהלכנו v. 36; the comparative he renders by יותר, ἐνδοξότερον = יותר נכבד v. 4; αἱρετόν μοι = יותר טוב. That he used Theodotion and not the Vulgate appears to follow from his treatment of v. 22: καὶ ἀνεστέναξεν Σ. καὶ εἶπεν Στενά μοι πάντοθεν = ותאנח שושנה ותאמר אנחה תהיה לי. Here he reproduces the repetition of the sound. He ignores the play on the names of the trees.
These two Hebrew MSS. are of some interest as showing the Jewish attitude to the story during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. They also illustrate the facility with which every phrase of the Greek can be reproduced in Hebrew.

Please call for availability
We stayed here a few weeks ago for several days for a Beach Get-A-Way. The cottage has charm and is within walking distance to the beach. The back patio and the outside shower was great after spending a long day at the beach. The fenced yard was a must for our black lab. The cottage has two bedrooms with comfortable beds. It is perfect for families with 4-5 people, but could be a bit crowded if more than that.
It provided us with a relaxing vacation and we would absolutely stay here again!
My husband and & I took our daughter who needed a break from her PHD studies on vacation here for the weekend along with both of our small dogs. We really enjoyed our stay here, it was more than we expected. This was our first time renting a property. The next time we want to get away to Bay St. Louis we will look to stay here again. Like another reviewr said about the outdoor shower - it is fantastic to get rid of all the sand before going into the house.
We stayed for a month and were so very comfortable!!! The outdoor shower is fantastic for getting rid of sand before ever coming in the house! The Hancock County Beaches are legally and officially "dogs allowed". So, we would say that being "pet friendly" makes Gulf View Prop. BRILLIANT! Great folks to deal with...beginning to end!!
Bay St.Louis is a charmer....bikes can be rented from the chamber of commerce for almost no $$!
Great places to eat!....dont miss Cypress Cafe!
Thanks guys!!! Looking forward to next time already! T & C
We stayed here a few weeks ago for several days and really enjoyed it. The rooms are a bit small and it only has one bathroom, but those flaws were made up by its quaint charm and its proximity to the beach. The back patio was a great place to relax in the evening once things had cooled down, the beds were comfortable, the yard was very nice - especially the old oak tree - and the A/C worked very well! In July, on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, that is not a commodity to be overlooked.
Aside from the cottage itself, Bay St. Louis offers a lot historical richness and charm. Literally, the town never moves! If you're looking for peace and quiet (and we were), you won't find any spot that will serve that purpose any better than BSL.
Lastly, if you are an older couple, or a family of 3 or 4, the residence is ideal. I could see where it would feel crowded with much more than that, however. All-in-all, it provided my wife and I with a relaxing vacation and we would absolutely stay here again.
Loved it! Great proximity to the beach. Nice yard for the dogs. We bring our dogs everywhere w/ us and were thrilled that we were allowed to have them here. Just like home.....
Enjoyed my stay, while sightseeing and visiting my family home. I was traveling alone and felt completely safe and at-home there. The bed was very comfy and all was very clean. i especially loved the screened in porch across the back and listening to the frogs at night from there. Hope to return again soon. Thanks for a great stay!

Caddo Indians
Caddo (kăd´ō), Native North Americans whose language belongs to the Caddoan branch of the Hokan-Siouan linguistic stock (see Native American languages). These people gave their name not only to the linguistic branch but also to the Caddo confederacy, a loose federation of tribes that in prehistoric times occupied lands from the Red River valley in Louisiana to the Brazos River valley in Texas and N into Arkansas and Kansas. Members, besides the Caddo, included the Arikara, the Pawnee, the Wichita, and others. The culture of these loosely knit peoples was similar. Generally they were sedentary, living in villages of conical huts, although they did raise horses. The culture of the Caddo proper was marked by a clearly defined system of social stratification and by a religion that closely regulated daily life. Some now reside on tribal land in Oklahoma. In 1990 there were 3,000 Caddo in the United States.
See J. T. Hughes, Prehistory of the Caddoan-Speaking Tribes (1968).

You've found our website!
Time has demonstrated that, given all best intentions, we don't update it very frequently: in fact the last change to the front page was in 2005 when the previous attempt was started [and ended]. So now in 2009 we are trying a new approach to maintaining the few photo galleries that we publish here ... linking into our Apple MobileMe gallery which we can maintain without editing this website.
[Update 2014: well that was another dud of an idea for keeping a website updated. There are now plenty of ways to share photos with friends, using things like Dropbox, so we don't keep public albums anymore.]
There is also a link to Apple Mac OS X software that I've written, click Software to find them. A few ad-hoc items are in Other Things, and if you have forgotten our email addresses use the Contact Us page to get in touch.
That's all we have here, expect another change in

Canon EOS 70D
The Canon EOS 70D is a great update of Canon's enthusiast-level DSLR. With its sound design and build, sleek swivel touchscreen and first-rate handling, it's more than just a simple mix of the 60D and 7D. The innovative Dual Pixel AF system makes the autofocus fast and smooth when working in Live View mode or video mode, successfully improving on a long-standing problem in the DSLR world.
Best of the rest
24x36mm, Tilt Display & Wi-Fi
Nikon D750
The Nikon D750 is fast, it's lightweight and it takes gorgeous pictures. It's a full-frame DSLR that's more modern than its predecessors by integrating a tilt display and Wi-Fi. All it's really lacking is a bit of daring.

Top Value
Nikon D5300
By ditching the low-pass filter, borrowing a sensor from a higher-end model, adding a new image processor, building in a GPS and Wi-Fi, improving design, and speeding up performances, Nikon has made a triumphant return to the enthusiast DSLR market with the D5300. This is much more than a bog-standard update of the D5200!
Budget Option
Canon EOS 100D
The EOS 100D is effectively a mini version of the 650D. This compact DSLR has the same main strengths as its full-sized counterpart, with a user-friendly design, a good sensor, quality electronics and an excellent screen. Plus, this mini version is speedier to use and is obviously more portable. However, the kit zoom lens lets the side down. It's too big for this compact camera body, it's plagued by optical aberrations and it has trouble maintaining sharpness. Potential 100D owners should seriously think about replacing the lens to get the best out of their camera.
More options
Advanced Weatherproofing
Pentax K-3
The Pentax K-3 is a sturdy and hard-wearing but quite traditional SLR. It doesn't get any newfangled features like Wi-Fi, GPS, touch-controls, a swivel screen or extra video features. However, the basics are all covered very well, from the 100% optical viewfinder, the tough all-weather finish and the speedy 8 fps burst mode, to the mechanical stabilisation system and 24-Megapixel sensor.
Entry-Level All-Rounder
Sony Alpha 58
Sony's A58 SLT is packed with functions, including an 8 fps burst mode with autofocus, sweep panorama, and a fast autofocus in video mode. Still, this being an SLT, you'll have to make do with an electronic viewfinder rather than a proper optical viewfinder.

Soulstice Theatre stays true to Pinter's 'Betrayal'
Dazzled with visions of starting fresh, lovers beginning an affair always think their story will be different. But what almost invariably results is another iteration of the same tired prose, inscribed by people who repeat the life they sought to escape rather than making a new one.
That's easiest to see in retrospect, which is how we view the affair featured in Harold Pinter's "Betrayal," composed of nine scenes that gradually move us back nine years, from 1977 to 1968. »Read Full Article

JUNEAU -- The House Education Committee has advanced a bill that would change the way the state intervenes in struggling school districts.
The initial version of the HB256, sponsored by committee Chair Alan Dick, called for an outright repeal of the intervention process. Education Department officials and state attorneys said that would violate a court order that said the state needs a more direct approach in oversight of rural districts.
Instead of a repeal, the amended version sets criteria for the state to follow and mandates community involvement. HB256 is harsher than a Senate proposal, as Dick's bill wouldn't allow the state to appoint trustees that have control over decision-making in intervention districts.
The bill's next stop is House Finance.
