Link: Election Indicators: The Redskins Rule
http://conservationreport.com/2008/11/04/election-indicat...
Can Monday Night Football predict the next president? The Redskins Rule states, “if the Redskins won their last home game before the election, the incumbent party would stay in power.” Apparently, the rule has held for 17 out of the last 18 elections (or since 1936). The only time the Redskins Rule did not hold, was when George W. Bush was reelected; or maybe it really did? For this election, the Steelers beat the Redskins, so the Redskins Rule is in Obama’s favor.

The Malagasy government is trying to change social policy or taboo, which discriminates against twins. In Madagascar, twins are considered fady or taboo, and families are sometimes forced to separate twins or give them up altogether.

Link: REEL BIG FISH: Giant catfish in India turn to preying on humans
http://conservationreport.com/2008/10/13/reel-big-fish-gi...
Growing up in the south and being a freshwater fisherman, large catfish are both folklore and reality to me. In the south, some large catfish can be found in secluded farm ponds or around dams, and stories abound of divers observing huge catfish, particularly blue catfish, around dams across the south. However, folklore seems to have evolved into an extreme reality in India where large catfish might be preying on humans. Some type of creature, in the sacred Hindu Kali river, has allegedly pulled three teenagers under its waters. Locals believe that a type of catfish called the goonch has grown large enough, after feeding on partially burnt corpses from funeral pyres, to prey on living humans.

Link: “Extinct” Frog Found in Honduras
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/09/080926-ex...
After some 20 years of absence, National Geographic is reporting that an adult miles’ robber frog (Craugastor milesi) was rediscovered in Honduras after it was considered extinct. The species was thought to be a victim of the chytrid fungus, which has devastated other frog populations and resulted in frog extinctions worldwide. There is some evidence that the miles’ robber frog may have developed resistance to the fungus. However, more research is needed to determine if resistance has truly developed and more research is needed to uncover the true status of the population.
