Even Charles Darwin marveled at the length of the barnacle’s penis. In some species, it’s up to eight times the body length. Not all barnacles are so well-endowed, however, raising the question of how animals that can’t reach their neighbors get it on. Now, new research suggests that at least one short-penised barnacle, the Pacific gooseneck barnacle, oozes sperm directly into the water for mates to capture, an approach that researchers previously considered too haphazard for the sedentary crustaceans.
.
Its penis may be shorter than other barnacles, but this one still gets around.

Stargazers looking up as darkness falls on Monday (Jan. 21) will notice an eye catching pairing-off between two of the brightest objects in the nighttime sky, weather permitting.
The moon, appearing as a waxing gibbous phase, 78 percent illuminated, will appear to stand close below a very bright, non-twinkling, silvery “star.” But it won’t be a star that will be keeping the moon company on America’s Inauguration Night, but the largest planet in our solar system: Jupiter.

This sky map shows the location of Jupiter as it dances with the moon on
the evening of Jan. 21, 2013. This diagram shows the appearance of the pair
from Jan. 20 to Jan. 23rd, looking south, high in the evening sky.

I have spent most of the last decade focusing on the marvels of developmental biology — “the study of how developmental biology from immature forms into an adult.” I study this using scientific visualization technologies that my team at TheVisualMD have developed. It’s almost impossible to express how privileged I’ve felt to watch the process of conception to birth, as genetic mechanisms dynamically instruct each fetal cell of where to go and what to become.

A Dallas woman was found guilty Friday of killing her 10-year-old stepson by denying him water for days as punishment in the brutal summer of 2011.
Tina Alberson, 44, was found guilty of reckless injury to a child, WFAA reports.
It’s a lesser charge than what prosecutors wanted, but she nevertheless faces life in prison for the second-degree felony, the Dallas Morning News reports
Prosecutors hoped she’d be found guilty of knowingly causing a child’s injury.

Jonathan James, 10, died in 2011 after days of
being denied water by his stepmother.

Internet activists on Friday celebrated Internet Freedom Day, marking the one year anniversary of widespread online protests against controversial antipiracy legislation.
Last January, Congress was considering two bills, the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, and Protect IP Act, or PIPA, meant to crackdown on copyright violation, which content creators say costs them billions in lost revenue each year.
But members of the tech industry countered that the proposed bills would stifle innovation, undermine the very architecture of the web, and limit free speech online.

A little long but very beautiful if you have time.
The guy flying the 3 kites is in his 80s, and he’s from Canada. He comes to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year. His skin is like leather as he normally flies with his shirt off. He is deaf, so when he flies we hold our hands up and wave them for applause. He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one is attached to his waist. Enjoy!
You must watch to the end to see the amazing landing of that last kite! I would have those kites so tangled up, you could never get them separated again! And of course, make sure the volume is turned up because the music is wonderful and totally reflects the soaring of the kits. Beautiful.

Which is our universe’s oldest star? Astronomers now say the honor may go to HD 140283, a gassy giant that’s celebrated an estimated 13.2 billion birthdays, give or take a couple hundred million, according to the January 2013 issue of Nature.
“We believe this star is the oldest known in the Universe with a well determined age,” Howard Bond, an astronomer at Pennsylvania State University, told Nature. The finding was announced January 10, at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Long Beach, Calif.
.
The oldest known star in the universe is ‘HD 140283,’ estimated to be 13.2 billion years old (not pictured).

Children are not the only ones who can learn from Big Bird and brain scans of children and adults watching “Sesame Street” reveal how brains change as they learn reading and math, researchers say.
One goal of brain imaging is discovering more about how children learn. Such an understanding of the building blocks of learning might help diagnose and treat learning difficulties.
For instance, “when children fail to learn mathematics well, there could be a number of different reasons for that and it could be that they have weak concepts of numbers, that they have poor memory, that they have limited attention,” researcher Jessica Cantlon, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Rochester in New York, told LiveScience. Brain tests could help determine the precise cause of a kid’s math impairments, “because different patterns of brain activity likely accompany each of those different cognitive impairments.”
