Woman claims her cat gave birth to puppies

 

Passo Fundo, Brazil - Geneticist Adil Pacheco took blood samples on Friday from three puppies in a poor neighborhood in Passo Fundo in southern Brazil to settle a dispute over a claim they were born from a cat.

 

“It's rather simple really. If the puppies prove to have 78 chromosomes, they are dogs. If they have 38, they are cats,” said Pacheco, director of the Institute of Biological Sciences of the University of Passo Fundo.

 

“But I seriously doubt they are feline. Every characteristic about them is canine.”

 

Cassia Aparecida de Souza, 18, said her cat Mimi had given birth to the three puppies as well as three kittens, which did not survive. And she, her husband Rogerio Jorge da Silva, 26, and several others in the town believe a neighborhood mutt named Dog is the father of Mimi's pups.

 

When news of the spectacular claim spread in the Brazilian media, some local newspapers accused the poor couple, who are expecting their first child in a few months, of fraud and said they were simply trying to make money off a hoax.

 

“I feel indignant at such accusations,” da Silva said.

 

Pacheco said he was asked by a local newspaper to conduct the chromosome test, which should yield results on Tuesday.

 

“It's not uncommon for mammals to nurse young from another species. The cat gave birth in a field and she likely inherited the puppies from a nearby female dog who had recently given birth,” he said

US sex offender 'posed as pupil'

Mr Rodreick was reportedly "fairly quiet" at school

 

 

A 29-year-old convicted sex offender has spent four months at a US school after successfully posing as a 12-year-old boy, officials say.

They say Neil Rodreick shaved his body hair, covered his stubble with make-up and took a new name to attend Imagine Charter School in Phoenix, Arizona.

 

The 173cm (5ft 8in) man was eventually expelled for poor attendance in 2006.

 

He was arrested after trying to enrol at another school. He has since been charged with forgery and fraud.

 

Mr Rodreick spent seven years in jail after being convicted of lewdly propositioning a six-year-old boy in 1996.

 

'Age-appropriate'

 

Mr Rodreick adopted the name Casey Price to attend Imagine Charter School, investigators say.

 

We are just shocked

 

Mindy Newlin, pupil's parent

 

They say he blended well with the other pupils, many of whom were actually taller and bigger than him.

 

He attended classes and always handed in his homework on time.

 

"He absolutely looked age-appropriate," school spokeswoman Rhonda Cagle told the New York Times newspaper.

 

"By all accounts from the teachers, he was fairly quiet and withdrawn," she said.

 

Mindy Newlin, parent of one of the pupils at the school, said: "We are just shocked."

 

Mr Rodreick even convinced two men who had been looking for boys on the internet to pretend to be his relatives.

 

He was caught earlier in January, after teachers at another school in Arizona - where he had gone for a day - became suspicious.

 

In all, Mr Rodreick spent nearly two years disguised as a boy.

 

 

Cons.....My hindi is little rusty, but I think Puuja means ask.

Minneapolis carjacker "mentally ill, suffers from depression and hasn't being taking his medication"

"Lately he has been out of control." Yes, you could say that. An update on this story: "Carjacking spree leaves woman in critical," from KSTP.com, with thanks to Paul:

 

A woman is in critical condition after a wild chain of events in north Minneapolis Wednesday morning.

Police said around 7:55 a.m., Ismail Yassin Mohamed, 22, was driving a stolen black Chevy Cavalier when he began intentionally ramming a blue and white taxi cab for several blocks until the cab crashed.

 

The cab driver and a female passenger managed to escape from the cab, but the passenger was critically injured....

 

After the cab crashed, police said Mohamed took off in the Cavalier and then crashed into a business. He got out of the car and stole a school van. The driver of the van managed to get an 8-year-old boy off of the vehicle before Mohamed stole it.

 

Later, Mohamed crashed the van into another group of cars. Authorities said Mohamed was trying steal another car when witnesses pinned Mohamed down and waited for authorities....

 

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS spoke with the suspect's mother who said her son is mentally ill, suffers from depression and hasn't being taking his medication. She said "lately he has been out of control."

 

Mohamed is currently in police custody and has a prior conviction for robbery in 2003.

 

 

Paul also notes that these two stories do not give the suspect's name:

Nepali becomes both man and woman

By Charles Haviland

BBC News, Kathmandu

 

 

Chanda Musalman shows off the citizenship ID card

The authorities in Nepal have granted a man who dresses and behaves as a woman both male and female citizenship.

 

The unprecedented legal status was given to 40-year-old Chanda Musalman.

 

Conservative and religious Nepal, like many Asian countries, has a sizeable community of people who are born male but behave as women.

 

It is unclear how this unique legal status will play out in practice - for instance, how it will affect Chanda's marriage rights.

 

Constitution

 

With elections approaching, government teams are currently touring the country issuing certificates of citizenship.

 

One team came to Chanda's village in western Nepal.

 

Chanda, who has had no sex-change surgery, asked the officials to erase the words male and female, listed under gender.

 

They obliged, and ascribed Chanda's gender as "both".

 

A local campaign group, the Blue Diamond Society, has thanked the government for the move, which it described as a victory for sexual and gender minorities.

 

In the past the group has accused both the police and the Maoists of harassing transgendered people in the streets of Kathmandu.

 

It is now lobbying to get the rights of sexual minorities explicitly protected in the new constitution, to be drawn up after the elections.
