VANCOUVER (CP) - When one is tickled, the other jumps but that provides doctors no insight into whether newborn twins joined at the head can and should be separated.

Krista and Tatiana were only born Wednesday and will need to be stable and their organs more mature before medical scans can be done to determine how much of their brains they share, said Dr. Douglas Cochrane, the pediatric neurosurgeon who is helping look after the girls.

But Cochrane said tests aren't needed to show that the girls do share a special bond.

"They have a bonding that is quite different than we would expect under any other condition," he said with a smile.

"As one cried, a soother in the mouth of the other settled both. As we stimulated and tickled the legs of one, the other legs responded."

The girls are the third and fourth child of Felicia Simms, a 21-year-old from Vernon who has been under constant care for weeks by the medical team at B.C. Women's Hospital.
   

Simms hasn't yet held her babies because she is still in a wheelchair, but she has been able to hold their hands and place her hands on their heads.

Moments after they were born, the doctors allowed her and her partner Brendan Hogan to choose which daughter would assigned the colours selected to help doctors tell them apart.

Tatiana will wear a pink bracelet and Krista is in green.

Video distributed by the hospital on Thursday show two healthy pink babies with wiggling hands and healthy lungs. They look like any other newborns except for the dark hair that covers their conjoined heads.

Cochrane said doctors know little more about the babies' physical connection than they did during Simms' pregnancy.

"We know that the babies are healthy, I think we know they are managing in a physiological way as would normal twins, despite their congenital malformation," he said. "I think the clear definition of vascular and brain structures and how they relate and how they are truly joined both physiologically and otherwise, needs to be determined."

Part of the challenge is getting the babies to a point where they can handle an MRI or CT scan that could determine how much of a brain they share.

There is also concern about how many blood vessels run between the girls, which won't be determined until their kidneys develop to a point where they can process the medicines needed for testing.

Cochrane said simply getting to know the girls will help doctors understand how truly connected they are.

"I think these two children are truly unique," he said.

"I think what we can expect of them will be defined more by how they are and what we learn as we get to know them rather than what we assume based on some usual concept of normality."

Dr. Brian Lupton, a neonatologist overseeing the girls' care said they appear to be neurologically similar to other children their age.

He said the challenges of moving the babies around because of their connection will be figured out with time.

"It's a lot less daunting to be dealing with that problem than to be dealing with physiological instability," he said.

As they grow and can be tested, the decision as to whether the girls can and should be separated will be guided by medical knowledge but also the quality of life the girls could have.

The family remains open-minded, said Dr. Deborah Money, who is managing Simms' care.

"The family's indication so far has not been automatically for separation," said Money. "They are very interested in the information they will get from the pediatric team as to what is a possibility but they are not anticipating automatic separation at all."

THis is hilarious, she's charged as a sex offender, and the victim of a sex crime.
Stupid fucking Utah.

Girl, 13, charged as sex offender and victim
By Pamela Manson
The Salt Lake Tribune
Article Last Updated:12/06/2006 01:12:35 AM MST

Salt Lake City - Utah Supreme Court justices acknowledged Tuesday that they were struggling to wrap their minds around the concept that a 13-year-old girl could be both an offender and a victim for the same act - in this case, having consensual sex with her 12-year-old boyfriend.

The Ogden, Utah, girl was put in this odd position because she was found guilty of violating a state law that prohibits sex with someone under age 14. She also was the victim in the case against her boyfriend, who was found guilty of the same violation by engaging in sexual activity with her.

"The only thing that comes close to this is dueling," said Associate Chief Justice Michael Wilkins, noting that two people who take 20 paces and then shoot could each be considered both victim and offender.

And Chief Justice Christine Durham wondered if the state Legislature had intended the "peculiar consequence" that a child would have the simultaneous status of a protected person and an alleged perpetrator under the law.

The comments came in oral arguments on a motion asking the high court to overturn the finding of delinquency - the legal term in juvenile court for a conviction - against Z.C., who became pregnant after she and her boyfriend engaged in sex in October 2003.

State authorities filed delinquency petitions in July 2004, alleging that each had committed sexual abuse of a child, a second-degree felony if committed by an adult.

The girl appealed the petition, saying her constitutional right to be treated equally under the law had been violated.

Her motion noted that for juveniles who are 16 and 17, having sex with others in their own age group does not qualify as a crime.

Juveniles who are 14 or 15 and have sex with peers can be charged with unlawful conduct with a minor, but the law provides for mitigation when the age difference is less than four years, making the offense a misdemeanor.

For adolescents under 14, though, there are no exceptions or mitigation and they are never considered capable of consenting to sex.

A juvenile court judge denied the motion by Z.C., who then admitted to the offense while preserving her right to appeal to a higher court. The boy did not appeal.

The Utah Court of Appeals last December upheld the judge's refusal to dismiss the allegation, saying the law's "rigorous protections" for younger minors include protecting them for each other. Z.C. then appealed to the state Supreme Court.

At Tuesday's arguments, Matthew Bates, an assistant Utah attorney general, argued the prosecution of the girl was not unreasonable. He said the statute in question is designed to prevent sex with children who are 13 and younger, even if the other person is in the same age group.

By passing that law, legislators were sending a message, Bates said: Sex with or among children is unacceptable.

Randall Richards, the girl's attorney, argued that prosecuting children under a law meant to protect them is illogical.

"A child (victim) cannot also be a perpetrator in the exact same act," Richards said.

The Utah Supreme Court will issue a ruling later.

Woman hops from danger

Flames fan avoids serious injury as beer bath alerts her to men tumbling from stands

By ERIC FRANCIS, CALGARY SUN


The way Glennis Bradshaw sees it, only one thing came between her and serious injury at Saturday night's Flames game:
Beer.
The frothy nectar may even have saved her life.
"Saved by beer -- who knew?" laughed Bradshaw, two days after a fan fell from the stands and into her lap from roughly 20 feet above.
"It's only because I pulled back to look up to see where this beer bath was coming from that he didn't land on either my back, shoulder or head. If not we'd be talking about something completely different."
Sitting in the last row of section 210 with her son and best friend, Bradshaw was enjoying an entertaining game against Vancouver when midway through the second period it literally started raining beer and men.
Police say a man returning from a beer run lost his balance as he reached his third-level seat and grabbed desperately for his pal only to pull him over the railing with him.
"I felt the beer and just when I looked up buddy is in my lap," said Bradshaw, still troubled by the sound of his ankle breaking on the seat back in front of her.
"They used the awning (covering the skysuite boxes) as kind of a crazy carpet and I think that's what actually saved their butts. The one guy came straight down, landed on me, catapulted forward and went unconscious. If he had landed straight on the (seat back) instead of my lap it would've been a different story."
Amazingly, the other man landed two rows in front of Bradshaw, got up and walked away.
"I'm a 46-year-old girl and it's not often young men fall in my lap," smiled the mother of two.
"Thing is, normally I'd like them conscious."
The injured man was strapped to a spine board and taken to hospital where his broken ankle was stabilized.
Bradshaw spent the rest of the game in the rink's infirmary, applying ice to a severe bruise on her right thigh that still has her limping.
"You pay a lot of money for a ticket -- I would like to have seen the whole game," smiled the good Canadian gal, who insists she hasn't contemplated suing.
"What I'd really like to see is that they're investigating what the safety standards are in the building. To see those guys come off the awning at me was a very traumatic experience. Hey, I'll live another day but somebody else may not. And that's what scares me."
Flames officials say it's the first time someone's fallen off a balcony at a Flames game, but years ago a concert-goer took a similar tumble.
"It's pretty unique," said Flames VP Building Operations Libby Raines, who insisted the incident was being looked at thoroughly.
"Any sort of incident you look at what happened and determine what, if anything, could have been done."
Flames president Ken King pointed out the Flames have an exemplary safety record at the 'Dome, but would make any necessary adjustments if it's determined improvements can be made.
Bradshaw is satisfied with a police investigation that determined the two men weren't drunk or causing trouble and no charges would be laid.
"When you get home and the Advil wears off you think about what could have happened," said the refreshingly forgiving HR manager.
"My girlfriend has the story of a lifetime. But why did it have to be me?"

Woman stabs lover over poor sex
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- A Russian woman visiting her Swedish boyfriend is accused of stabbing him in the lung after an argument over disappointing lovemaking.

Police in the northern Swedish town of Lulea told the newspaper Norrlandska Socialdemokraten that the couple agrees the dispute is tied to dissatisfaction with their sex life -- but their story differs on other points, The Local newspaper in Stockholm reported.

The woman, who was visiting her boyfriend on a short-term visa, claims she stabbed her boyfriend in self-defense. The man, who was seriously injured in the attack, claims the fight was solely because of her disappointment with the evening's sex.

Extra's a puss with 26 toes
KAREN KOTZE
February 22, 2007 - 4:27PM

Extra toes ... literally.
AdvertisementAdvertisement
Extra the kitten has been aptly named by her owners - she has 26 toes that give her a distinct advantage over her naturally climbing moggie mates.
Her human family noticed there was something different with the three-month-old kitten when she started scratching more than other cats.
"You would sort of want to wear boxing gloves when you play with her," says Kaelene Gerrard, who lives with her partner Eli Eliu and daughters Mercy, six, and 12-year-old Shardae.
She examined the frisky feline's paws and did a double take at what she found.
"We counted and then recounted but we had it right the first time," she says.
Extra has seven toes on each front paw and six toes on each back paw - instead of the normal five on each.
"Her mum Star is a normal cat but her grandmother had six toes on each paw as well and so does her brother. But we've never even heard of a kitten with seven toes on each front paw," says Kaelene.
"Extra's a good climber and runs really fast.
"We won't have to worry about her too much because she will sure be able to look after herself."
Staff at Glendowie Veterinary Clinic in Auckland say Extra's trait is relatively common and an inherited genetic condition called polydactyly.
It usually produces six toes, so Extra is that little bit special.
SPCA education officer Shelley Ryan says polydactyl cats come through "from time to time" and most appear to have no setbacks from their condition.
"It seems pedigree cats and bigger cats, such maine coons, often show a strain of polydactyly, although we do see moggies with it too," she says.
"Cats with this genetic trait are often very placid.
"I have seen some cases, but not too many, with 26 toes. How fast and well will that cat climb?"
Polydactyly, or extra digits, in cats is most common on parts of the United States' east coast and in south west England.
It is a naturally occurring genetic variation and has even been found in fossil reptiles.
Polydactyly varies from the classic 'mitten cat' - unevenly numbered toes on each front paw - through to those that simply have more toes than normal but no thumb.
Some cat owners say the innermost extra toes on the front paws are often opposable and some use them with quite startling proficiency to manipulate small objects with almost human dexterity.
Others joke that because of that condition their animals are more intelligent, while others feel their pets represent the next stage in feline evolution - the ability to open cartons and cans unaided.
In times past, cats with polydactyly were favoured ship cats and were considered to be the preferred familiars of witches.

I have a polydactyly cat as well.  She freaks people out when she sticks her paw under the door or tries to grab things  lol

[tan]

them cats are cute before my neighbor's tabby got run over he had paws like that but he always empregnated my female cat and half of her kitten had extra claws...most of the time it was just 6 each paw but she had a few kittens with the 7 in front and 6 in back...those cats i never had a problem giving them away

Thieves steal 1,200 gallons of gasoline In Olympia

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Thieves in Olympia are accused of stealing more than 1,200 gallons of fuel from a local gas station.

The Thurston county sheriff's office says the thieves were able to steal the gas from the Village Mart near Olympia by breaking into the station's underground storage tanks. The stolen gas was valued at nearly $4,000.

Lt. Chris Mealy of the sheriff's office says as the price of gasoline goes up, it will become a more lucrative target for thieves in the future.

A similar crime happened nearly two years ago in Rochester. In that case, the thieves were caught after using a trailer with a hole cut in the floor and dropping a hose straight into the storage tank and pumping the fuel out.

One more his name is Leahy 

Police: Man Stumbled Into Wrong House, Slept On Couch

Pullman police pinch panty thief

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - Authorities in Pullman, Washington, are now holding 93 pounds of purloined panties, and other women's underwear as evidence. Police say they found enough unmentionables in Garth Flaherty's apartment to fill five garbage bags. Investigators charge Flaherty stole the bras and panties from apartment complex laundry rooms. Officers say they were led to Flaherty after a witness noted his license plate number. The undergarments will be held as evidence until the case is settled. But police Commander Chris Tennant doubts the stolen panties will be returned to their owners. He asks, "Would you really want them back?"

Ok here's another article on the same subject since there is a panty count  Just in case anyone wants to know how many panties it take to make 93 pounds worth

Stolen panty total in Pullman: 1,613

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PULLMAN, Wash. -- The final count of the womens underwear stolen in Pullman -- one-thousand-six hundred-and-thirteen.

So far, twelve people have come forward to say their underwear was stolen. Only one pair has been positively identified by its owner. Officers say that pair was of unique European origin.

Police found the 93 pounds of panties and bras when issuing a search warrant at the apartment of a 24-year-old man.

He was arrested for investigation of burglary and theft. He has not been charged.
