From Wikipedia:
"Spondylus is a genus of bivalve mollusks, the only genus in the family Spondylidae. As well as being the systematic name, Spondylus is the most often used common name for these animals, though they are also known as thorny oysters or spiny oysters.
There are many species of Spondylus, and they vary considerably in appearance and range. They are grouped in the same superfamily as the scallops, but like the true oysters (family Ostreidae) they cement themselves to rocks, rather than attaching themselves by a byssus. Their key characteristic is that the two parts of their shells are hinged together with a ball and socket type of hinge, rather than a toothed hinge as is more common in other bivalves.
Spondylus have multiple eyes around the edges of the shell, and they have a relatively well developed nervous system. Their nervous ganglia are concentrated in the visceral region, with recognisable optic lobes, connected to the eyes.
Spondylus shells are much sought after by collectors, and there is a lively commercial market in them."
Visit to the Academy of Natural Sciences. From Wikipedia:
"The Academy of Natural Sciences is the oldest natural science research institution and museum in the New World. It was founded in 1812 by many of the leading naturalists of the young republic with its expressed mission of "the encouragement and cultivation of the sciences." For over nearly two centuries of continuous operations, the Academy has sponsored expeditions, conducted original environmental and systematics research, and amassed natural history collections containing more than 17 million specimens. The Academy also has a long tradition of public exhibits and educational programs for both schools and the general public."

A former Merritt Island attorney was taken into custody this morning to start serving a 180-day jail sentence after a court found him guilty of stealing more than 0,000 from his clients.
AAttorneys will also turn over 0,000 in cashier’s checks from Andrew Menyhart, 44, to the Clerk of Courts as restitution to the six victims.
Assistant State Attorney Kerri Fowler said the crimes deserved prison.
“They hired him, they trusted him and he stole from them. He blatantly stole from them,” Fowler said.
“You cannot steal over 0,000 and not go to prison. Particularly when it’s an attorney, someone who has been trusted to help these people.”

Judge Charlie Crawford said it was in the best interest of the victims to have Menyhart repay the restitution and ordered the 180 days jail time, which can be served on weekends.
The plea agreement was between Menyhart and the judge. Greg Eisenmenger, the attorney for Menyart, said his client now works for his family business manufacturing plastics and will continue to pay ,000 a month in restitution until he’s paid the money he stole in full.
“Neither I nor Mr. Menyhart would every try to justify his actions,” Eisenmenger said.
Crawford gave Menyhart a stern warning that, should he violate terms of his six years of probation, he could face a long prison term.
Menyhart was charged with six felony counts of grand theft in 2009, and the case has lingered in court since. Court documents show that Menyhart stole insurance money meant for his clients in estate settlement cases and after crash

Charges have been filed against two law school students accused of decapitating an exotic bird at a Las Vegas casino before playfully throwing around its severed body to the horror witnesses.
Justin Teixeira, 24, has been charged with felony killing and felony torturing of an animal while Eric Cuellar, 24, faces a misdemeanour charge of instigating, engaging in or furthering an act of animal cruelty.
Police say the students at the University of California, Berkley, were witnessed laughing and throwing around the body of the dead, 14-year-old guineafowl at the Flamingo resort-casino last October.

'I (expletive) killed wildlife,' Teixeira said, according to a report by witnesses obtained by LVRG.com.
The large bird named Turk was part of the Flamingo's Wildlife Habitat, a garden area with ponds and streams that houses many types of birds.
'This was a cruel and malicious act,' Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said in a statement, adding that an investigation is ongoing and could result in criminal charges against others. 'It is important to hold people accountable for their actions.'
Surveillance video captured the men chasing the bird into some trees, authorities said, and witnesses told police the two emerged carrying the bird's body and severed head.
Richard Schonfeld, an attorney representing Cuellar, said he was pleased prosecutors opted for a lesser charge for his client with the student on track academically to become an attorney himself.
'Eric has an exemplary background and I'm pleased the DA chose to proceed with a misdemeanour,' said Schonfeld, whose client faces up to six months in jail if convicted. 'It's an acknowledgement that he did not physically harm the bird.'

If convicted on all charges, Teixeira could be sentenced to prison time. His attorney did not immediately return a message seeking comment on Thursday afternoon.
Criminal charges - especially felonies - can affect a person's future in the legal field. The State Bar of California, for example, requires applicants to demonstrate good moral character.
A statement on the bar's website notes that people convicted of violent felonies or felonies involving moral turpitude 'are presumed not to be of good moral character in the absence of a pardon or a showing of overwhelming reform and rehabilitation.'
Gina Greisen, the president of Nevada Voters for Animals and an advocate for the state's newly passed, tougher law against animal cruelty, said those potential consequences are appropriate.

'I don't think you should get to be a lawyer if you do something like that,' Greisen said. 'If you are lucky enough to be a Berkeley law student, you know you have to be above reproach in a lot of ways.'
'According to the security people, the men were laughing and joking about the fact of what they had done,' Sgt. John Sheahan of Metro Police told KLAS immediately after the incident on October 12.
Police said they didn't believe drugs were involved.
'Security had allegedly seen these men chasing the bird into a brushy treed area of that habitat and then coming out of that area with the bird in two pieces,' said Sgt Sheahan.
Witnesses also supported security's claim.

For the first time, I actually won a duck (that quacks when you squeeze his mouth) on the fairground. It only costes me 5 tries and €2,5.
It only hasn't got a name yet.
Can you help me find an appropriate name for this lovely stuffed animal??
