(T. Chen et al., PNAS 2023) Squirming slowly along the ocean floor, sea cucumbers look like an easy target to hungry predators. But at the slightest provocation, these chunky tube animals tear a hole in the wall of their own butt and cast out a tangle of fine, sticky, noodles.Stress-induced butt-vomiting might sound comical, but it serves a useful purpose – the eviscerated organs of some sea cucumbers (like the black sea cucumber, Holothuria leucospilota) can entangle and neutralize predators. frameborder="0″ allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreenAccording to a new study, the expellable innards – called Cuvierian organs – are composed of proteins similar to spider silk.First described in 1831, the Cuvierian organ has hundreds of tubules that dangle from the base of the sea cucumber's breathing organ called a respiratory tree (these animals also breath through their butts).

County funds earmarked for giving raises to school division staff may not be used for that purpose, Superintendent Mark Taylor suggested in an email to County Administrator Ed Petrovitch.In the April 3 email, which The Free Lance–Star obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, Taylor responded to a question from county finance staff about the local cost of 5% and 7% pay increases for school division staff.A 5% pay increase for public school employees is proposed in Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s budget amendments for fiscal year 2024. Part of the cost of the raises would be funded by the state, and part by localities.Taylor said the local share of a 5% increase would be “approximately $6.84 million.”“But, respectfully, this $6.84 million cannot be considered alone because, if SCPS were given $6.84 million, we could not responsibly use it first for pay increases,” Taylor continued. People are also reading… Taylor told Petrovitch that money would first go to cover “inflation in operating costs,” which he said will cost $5 million — “$3.01 to keep the lights on and $2.0 for Health.”“The division can’t fund pay increases for staff that won’t have heat or lights in their buildings or fuel in the

CHICAGO (AP) — An Indiana school district did not violate a former music teacher’s rights by pushing him to resign after the man refused to use transgender students’ names and gender pronouns, a federal appeals court said in an order released Friday. The decision from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a prior ruling in the case by a federal judge. According to court records, John Kluge was hired in 2014 as the music and orchestra teacher for Brownsburg High School about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of Indianapolis. In 2017, district officials began requiring the high school’s teachers to use the names and pronouns listed in the school’s official student database, where changes were permitted with letters from a student’s parent and a doctor. Kluge told the school’s principal, Bret Daghe, on the first day of classes for the 2017 school year that he had a religious objection to using transgender students’ names and pronouns. District officials agreed that Kluge could call students by their last name and would not be responsible for handing out orchestra clothing.  » Read More
