The beaked Humboldt squid, which grow up to 5ft (1.5 metres) Jong, arrived off the city’s shores last week. Divers have reported unnerving meetings with the creatures, which are carnivorous and can be aggressive. One diver described how one of the rust-coloured creatures ripped the buoyancy aid and light from her chest, and grabbed her with its tentacles. “I just kicked like crazy,” diver Shanda Magill told the Associated Press news agency.

His sister, who allegedly acted as a go-between, and the Colombians, have been arrested. The murder of this employer marks the latest in a series of acts carried out by people fearful of losing their employment in the rapidly worsening depression. Other extreme reactions to the worsening conditions include a construction firm head who threatened to torch himself unless people who owed him money paid up, and a builder who held his bank manager at gunpoint. huip:/hwww.shortnews.com/ According to Gary Taylor, head of MJJcommunity.com, several Michael Jackson fans have committed suicide. He said, “I know there has been an increase, I now believe the figure is 12. I believe there may have been one Briton who has taken their life. This crazy news came to light when it was revealed that a Jackson lookalike in Russia cut his wrists after Michael's death was announced last week. The fan, Pavel Talaléyev, was found bleeding heavily at his home in Moscow. Luckily for him, an am- bulance crew found him in time and managed to save his life. One of the paramedics stated, “He was in a terrible state in the ambulance and kept on saying: "It’s all the same to me. I’m going to kill myself. It’s the worst tragedy of my life and I don’t want to live any more. I don’t know why you saved my life, I want to be with him’.” http://www. thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2508569/ Jackos-fans-commit-suicide.himl "SY An employee of an Apple store in Arlington County was shot and wounded yester- day morning during an attempted armed robbery in a back storeroom as more than three dozen shoppers and other employees milled about the showroom. Arlington police said the suspect rang a doorbell at a back service entrance of the store. A 26-year-old female employee opened the door and was shot, said Detective Crystal Nosal, a police spokeswoman. ‘Nosal said it was unclear whether the employee and the shooter exchanged words or whether he was after commodity or money. Police said the employee suffered a wound to her right shoulder and was in a serious but stable condition at an area hospital. Her injuries are not considered life-threatening. She is sedated but working with police to find the suspect. Police have been using K-9 units and helicopters in the search. htip:/Avww.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/ 2009/07/03/AR2009070301277.heml Ba ie The battle over Wikipedia’s use of images from a British art gallery's website has intensified. The online encyclopaedia has accused the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) of betraying ‘is public service mission. But the gallery has said it needs to recoup the £1m cost of its Gigitisation programme and claims Wikipedia has misrepresented its position. The NPG is threatening legal action after 3,300 images from its website were uploaded to Wikipedia. The high-resolution images were uploaded by Wikipedia volunteer Derrick Coetzee. Erik Moeller, the deputy director of the Wikimedia Foundation which runs the online encyclopaedia said most observers would think the two sides should be “allies not adversaries” and that museums and other cultural institutions should not pursue extra sevenue at the expense of limiting public access to their material. “Itis hard to see a plausible argument that excluding public domain content from a free, non-profit encyclopaedia serves eny public interest whatsoever,” he wrote. He points out that two German photographic archives donated 350,000 copyrighted images for use on Wikipedia, and other institutions im the United States and the UK have seen benefits in making material available for use. Another Wikipedia volunteer David Gerard has blogged about the row, claiming that the National Portrait Gallery makes only £10-15,000 a year from web licensing, less than it makes “selling food in the cafe”. But the gallery insists that its case has been misrepresented, and has now released a statement denying many of the charges made by Wikipedia. It denies claims that it has Been “locking up and limiting access to educational materials”, saying that it has been a pioneer in making its material available. It has worked for the last five years toward the target of getting half of its collection online by 2009. “We will be able to achieve this,” said the gallcry’s statement, “as a result of our own income.” The gallery says that while it ‘only makes a limited revenue from web licensing, it earns far more from the reproduction of its images in books and magazines — £339,000 in the last year. But it says the present Situation jeopardises its ability to fund its digitisation process from its own resources. The gallery has claimed that Wikipedia’s actions have violated English copyright laws, which protect copies of original works even when they themselves are out of copyright. A spokeswoman also said that the two German archives mentioned in Erik Moeller’s biog had in fact supplied medium resolution images to Wikipedia, and insisted that the National Portrait Gallery had been willing to offer similar material to Wikipedia. The gallery also explained how Derrick Coetzee was able to obtain the high resolution files from its site. They were made available to visitors using a “Zoomify” feature, which works by allowing several high resolution files to be seen all together. It claims Mr Coetzee used special software to “de-scramble” the high-resolution tiles, allowing the whole portrait to be seen in high resolution. But the Wikipedia volunteer David Gerard accuses the gallery of bureaucratic empire building. “They honestly think the paintings belong to them rather than to us,” he wrote. http://news. bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8156268.stm (@) Erik Moeller accuses the National Portrait Gallery of a) violating public interest. b) being an ally of Wikipedia. c) renouncing extra revenue. “% According to David Gerard, the NPG catering a) makes only £10-15,000 a year. b) benefits from making material available for public use. c) is more profitable than web licensing. “B)_ NPG says it is working on uploading its collection from a) web licensing fines. b) self-generated income. c) donations from different German and English institutions. “9.

A second French hostage has been handed over to the hard-line Somali Islamis' group, al-Shabab, government sources have told the BBC. The two security advisers, who were training government troops, were seized from a Mogadishu hotel on Tuesday. BBC East Africa correspondent Will Ross says that, unlike other insurgent groups in Somalia, al-Shabab is unlikely to be holding the men for ransom. In its eyes, the pair would be enemies, he says. “They could kill them, saying they are Christian, not Islami and they could manipulate the situation for their own political demands, including thei call for African Union troops to leave,” the presidential source told the BBC. He said the government was not able to negotiate directly with al-Shabab but had been talking to people claiming to be linked to the group holding the two French men. hitp://news. bbc.co.uk/2/hifafrica/8 155633. 2.)
