Although the tree octopus is not officially listed on the Endangered Species List, we feel that it should be added since its numbers are at a critically low level for its breeding needs

ave been put to good use in the spatially complex maze of the coniferous Olympic rainforests. The challenges and richness of this environment (and the intimate way in which it interacts with it,) may account for the tree octopus's advanced behavioral development. (Some evolutionary theorists suppose that "arboreal adaptation" is what laid the groundwork in primates for the evolution of the human mind.)

Reaching out with one of her eight arms, each covered in sensitive suckers, a tree octopus might grab a branch to pull herself along in a form of locomotion called tentaculation; or she might be preparing to strike at an insect or small vertebrate, such as a frog or rodent, or steal an egg from a bird's nest; or she might even be examining some object that caught her fancy, instinctively desiring to manipulate it with her dexterous limbs (really deserving the title "sensory organs" more than mere "limbs",) in order to better know it.

When teaching students to evaluate websites, do you use a technique or a tool? In my instructional technology program, we create this for students to evaluate sites - http://arcmit01.uncw.edu/jonesi/Projects%20for%20Portfolio/MIT%20512%20-%20Web%20Site%20Evaluation%20Tools/Evaluation%20Forms%20Final/Evaluation%20Form%20Revision%203/StudentForm.html
take a peek and use / modify as you like... I was sort of thinking of hiring a programmer to make it fancy and sleek. You think it's a good idea?
Thanks for sharing,
Newman
