LaPorta, Brantley among Tribe invites
Key pieces of Sabathia trade headed to Goodyear for spring
By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com
CLEVELAND -- The Indians' Major League coaching staff will soon get a good look at what the CC Sabathia trade brought in. Outfielders Matt LaPorta and Michael Brantley, the two key acquisitions in the trade that sent Sabathia to the Brewers last summer, are among the eight Minor Leaguers who received invites to big league Spring Training camp in Goodyear, Ariz., on Thursday. Also in the Indians' big league mix for the first time will be left-handers Dave Huff -- a candidate for the Tribe's fifth starting spot -- and Ryan Edell, third baseman Wes Hodges and infielder/outfielder Stephen Head. First basemen Beau Mills and Jordan Brown will be back for the second straight year. Though LaPorta and Brantley are both expected to begin the season at Triple-A Columbus, they have the potential to factor into the Indians' Major League plans this season. So this initial exposure to manager Eric Wedge and his coaching staff could be important. After putting up outstanding numbers at Double-A Huntsville in the Brewers' system, LaPorta struggled a bit after the trade -- perhaps as a result of simply never staying in the same place for long. In part because of his involvement with the U.S. Olympic team, he played just 17 games at Double-A Akron, batting .233 with two homers and eight RBIs. LaPorta, ranked as the 14th-best prospect in all of baseball by MLB.com, hit .164 with two homers and 12 RBIs in 17 games of winter ball in the Dominican Republic. Brantley wasn't officially acquired until after the season, as he was the "player to be named" in the deal. He batted .319 with 17 doubles, four homers and 40 RBIs in 106 games at Huntsville, missing some time with a sprained ankle. He also stole 28 bases in 36 attempts. Though the outfield will remain the main domain of LaPorta and Brantley, general manager Mark Shapiro said recently that he expects both players to see time at first base in camp. As is the case with Brantley and LaPorta, Huff's inclusion in camp is no surprise. He just might come out with a job in the big leagues, though some in the organization believe he could benefit from a little more Triple-A seasoning. Huff is coming off a breakout season at Double-A Akron and Triple-A Buffalo. Combined between the two stops, he went 11-5 with a 2.52 ERA, striking out 143 and walking 29 in 146 1/3 innings. He led all of the Tribe's Minor League pitchers in ERA, was tied for fourth in wins and was second in strikeouts and innings pitched. The other pitchers deemed to be in the mix for the fifth starting spot are also young left-handers -- Aaron Laffey, Jeremy Sowers, Zach Jackson and Scott Lewis. They all have big league experience. Huff, a sandwich pick in the 2006 Draft, does not. Edell isn't considered part of that competition, but he's certainly worthy of being on the coaching staff's radar after going 7-8 with a 3.80 ERA in 26 starts for Double-A Akron last season. Where Edell really separated himself was in the last two months of the season, as he went 4-3 with a 2.28 ERA over his last 12 starts. Hodges is currently one of the organization's more intriguing prospects, as he's an upper-level player at a position that could be open again soon. The Indians just filled third base for 2009 with Mark DeRosa, but the long-term prospects for the position are uncertain, unless Jhonny Peralta moves over from shortstop. After batting .290 with 18 homers and 97 RBIs at Akron last season and earning Eastern League Rookie of the Year honors, Hodges has certainly commanded attention. He also hit .349 with six homers and 26 RBIs in 25 games in the Arizona Fall League. The question will be how much Hodges can grow as a defender at the hot corner. In Brown, Mills and Head, the Indians are loading up on first basemen for camp, though Head also mans the outfield. Brown was exposed to last month's Rule 5 Draft when the Indians decided not to protect him on the 40-man roster, but, perhaps because of the knee problems he battled last year, he went unclaimed. He was the Carolina League MVP in 2006 and the Eastern League MVP in 2007. At Buffalo last year, he batted .281 with 30 doubles, seven homers and 51 RBIs in 109 games. Mills, a first-round pick in the 2007 Draft, won the Carolina League MVP Award in his first full season of pro ball. He batted .293 with 21 homers and 90 RBIs. He should be ready for action in Akron. Head, a second-round pick in 2005, spent all of '08 at Akron, batting .290 with 13 homers, 24 doubles and 49 RBIs in 106 games. The Indians have now extended 16 invites to non-roster players for their first camp in Goodyear. The aforementioned eight players join first baseman Michael Aubrey as the organizational invitees. Additionally, right-handers Greg Aquino, Kirk Saarloos and Tomo Ohka, catcher Damaso Espino, and infielders Andy Cannizaro, Jesus Merchan and Wilson Valdez were brought in from the outside and signed to Minor League deals.

1998-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis Cornering Light - Action Crash FO2551124V
Product Description
This Action Crash Cornering Light can be used on Mercury Grand Marquises from '98, '99, '00, '01 and '02. A Cornering Light is normally orangey, though could come in a variety of styles as well as schemes, improving the look of the car. The Cornering Light is a covered light which is attached close to the four corners of your vehicle that serves as a turn signal indicator when it is turned on. Mercury Grand Marquises from model years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 will work with this replacement part. Different cars and trucks are unlikely to be compatible, and this Cornering Light is not designed to be installed on those vehicles.
I was very happy with my new turn signal assembly.
All I can say is outstanding. I am very pleased with this lens. Had no problems with it and it was packed very well. Not a scratch on it. It looks great on the car too.

MEMORABILIA from a new British film which brought Hollywood stars to Warwickshire is now on display at Compton Verney art gallery.
The gallery near Kineton is holding the exhibition to celebrate the release of Gambit, which was filmed at the art gallery last summer.
The film stars Academy Award winner Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz, Alan Rickman, Sir Tom Courtenay and Stanley Tucci and will be released nationwide by Momentum Pictures on November 21.
Compton Verney's director Dr Steven Parissien said: "We have been eagerly awaiting the launch of Gambit in cinemas and are delighted to be hosting a display to mark this.
"All the staff at Compton Verney thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the filming although we were sworn to secrecy whilst it was taking place.
"The fact that the storyline has a strong link to art was an added bonus for us.
"Whilst they were at Compton Verney I was lucky enough to give the stars a private tour of the gallery and we all hope that one day they might return.
"The feedback from the crew was very positive and with a gallery that houses so many flexible spaces which lend themselves to a modern of historic setting we are positive that this will be the first of many movies which will be filmed here."
Directed by Kichael Hoffman and based on a screenplay written by Academy Award-winning brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, Gambit tells the story of British art curator Harry Deane, who devises a finely-crafted scheme to con England's richest man and avid art colllector Lionel Shabandar into purchasing a fake Monet painting.
In order to bait his buyer, Deane recruits a Texan rodeo queen to pose as a woman whose grandfather liberated the painting at the end of the Second World War.
Items on display at the gallery include plans and a scale model of the Compton Verney film set, exclusive film stills and signed photos by the stars.
Visitors can also have their photo taken on the spot where the Hollywood stars stood filming.

Police suspect a limousine driver who crashed his car into a North Carolina tree, killing two newlywed teachers from Philadelphia, was impaired by drugs at the time of the crash.
According to a report obtained by the Citizen-Times of Asheville, the driver, Rodney Koon, was tested for drugs after the crash, but the results have not come back.
Will Reid, 26, and his 25-year-old wife, Jamie, died when the Lincoln Town Car ran off Interstate 26 in Ashville, N.C. on Aug. 11 and hit a tree. Jamie, who was pregnant, was killed on impact and Will died a short time later at Mission Hospital.
The couple were on their way to the airport after attending a friend's wedding the day before.
Koon, 45, survived, but suffered life threatening injuries and remained hospitalized more than two weeks after the crash.
No charges have been filed in the case.
Police also asked for a search warrant to get the driver's cellphone to get possible GPS coordinates to determine the limo's speed and location and other evidence.
Both Will and Jamie were teachers in Philadelphia and would have been starting a new school year.
Jamie was at Harrity Elementary School, where she taught reading and writing. "She really wanted every student to feel like they had a place, no matter how different they were or where they came from, she wanted everyone to just to feel welcome, safe and loved," said Christen Young, a fellow teacher, who worked with Jamie for two years.
Young says Jamie helped the school really open up conversations for kids to talk about bullying.
Will taught math at People for People Charter School, which posted a statement talking about the couple's passion for teaching.
"PFPCS will always remember Mr. William and Mrs. Jamie Reid for their love of education, their passion for helping others, and the unwavering commitment to the students and the families they served. This is the legacy they leave to all who knew and loved them."

"In clever, easy-to-follow prose, with plenty of cartoon help, Parker fleshes out Einstein's major contribution to science and mankind, while adding a bit of biography and some fun speculation about the possibilities of time travel. You may not understand it all, but you'll feel smarter for the effort."
–San Diego Union-Tribune
"Students and others looking for fascinating and painless introductions to this particular, well-traveled, but still-startling corner of the sciences will be happy with Parker as their guide. The latest book to tackle Einstein's insights and their consequences is also one of the clearest and shortest yet."
-Publisher's Weekly
"In this book, Parker, physicist and award-winning science writer, attempts to explain to the layperson Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity and General Theory of Relativity… Parker does a good job of presenting them in as straightforward a manner as possible… This is an immense amount of complex material, and Parker does an admirable job of condensing and summarizing the information."
"Using vivid illustrations and reader-friendly writing…helps readers make sense of the difficult concepts. Straightforward illustrations and descriptions allow armchair scientists and students to more fully appreciate…relativity, time travel, black holes, antigravity and mirror universes."
–Today's Librarian
"…the author makes good use of diagrams to get across some complicated ideas."

Subject: 2000-06-02 Proclamation on Gay and Lesbian Pride Month 2000
Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2000 17:27 -0400
Message-ID: <20000602212722.1.MAIL-SERVER@...>
Office of the Press Secretary
(Berlin, Germany)
For Immediate Release June 2, 2000
- - - - - - -
Gay and lesbian Americans have made important and lasting
contributions to our Nation in every field of endeavor. Too often,
however, gays and lesbians face prejudice and discrimination; too many
have had to hide or deny their sexual orientation in order to keep their
jobs or to live safely in their communities.
In recent years, we have made some progress righting these wrongs.
Since the Stonewall uprising in New York City more than 30 years ago,
the gay and lesbian rights movement has united gays and lesbians, their
families and friends, and all those committed to justice and equality in
a crusade to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices and to protect
gays and lesbians from prejudice and persecution.
I am proud of the part that my Administration has played to achieve
these goals. Today, more openly gay and lesbian individuals serve in
senior posts throughout the Federal Government than during any other
Administration. To build on our progress, in 1998 I issued an Executive
Order to prohibit discrimination in the Federal civilian workforce based
on sexual orientation, and my Administration continues to fight for the
Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would outlaw discrimination in
the workplace based on sexual orientation.
Yet many challenges still lie before us. As we have learned from
recent tragedies, prejudice against gays and lesbians can still erupt
into acts of hatred and violence. I continue to call upon the Congress
pass meaningful hate crimes legislation to strengthen the Department
of Justice's ability to prosecute hate crimes committed due to the
victim's sexual orientation.
With each passing year the American people become more receptive to
diversity and more open to those who are different from themselves. Our
Nation is at last realizing that gays and lesbians must no longer be
"strangers among friends," as the civil rights pioneer David Mixner once
noted. Rather, we must finally recognize these Americans for what they
are: our colleagues and neighbors, daughters and sons, sisters and
brothers, friends and partners.
This June, recognizing the joys and sorrows that the gay and
lesbian movement has witnessed and the work that remains to be done, we
observe Gay and Lesbian Pride Month and celebrate the progress we have
made in creating a society more inclusive and accepting of gays and
lesbians. I hope that in this new millennium we will continue to
break down the walls of fear and prejudice and work to build a bridge
to understanding and tolerance, until gays and lesbians are afforded
the same rights and responsibilities as all Americans.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United
States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the
Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June
2000 as Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. I encourage all Americans to
observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and
activities that celebrate our diversity and recognize the gay and
lesbian Americans whose many and varied contributions have enriched
our national life.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second
day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and

An argument can be made that the Leafs are playing better because the playoff pressure is squarely upon them or the unlikelihood of passing so many teams to qualify has made them loosen up.
"Some blossom and the Morning Glories come out," coach Pat Quinn said of all players who do better with the post-season weight off of their shoulders.
"But in Toronto, something is always happening (as a distraction). These young men are not finished yet and they won't be until the numbers (for a playoff spot) stop adding up."
Until their lopsided victory over the Buffalo Sabres last night, the Leafs had little use for the National Hockey League's new scheduling quirk with back-to-back home games against divisional opponents.
"We've done it twice now and we haven't won yet," Quinn said of losing two in Ottawa and two in Montreal.
The combined score in those debacles was 22-6, split 11-3 in both series. Prior to this season, the Leafs most recently had made consecutive appearances in the same venue back in 1965 at the old Madison Square Garden against the Rangers.
In previous years, the arrival of April meant the Leafs went into playoff lockdown, restricting their public appearances and autograph sessions.
"Usually, we'd be figuring out what we're going to do in the playoffs (with regard to scouting reports), but this year, we're just trying to get in," defenceman Wade Belak said.
"But if we play (the way) we did the last few games, it'll be close. Every game from here on in is a playoff game. We have to win at least (seven of nine) and hope some of the teams in front of us go for a skid. It doesn't look that way right now, but we'll see.
"The community stuff still kind of goes on hold. But I wouldn't say my home life is any easier. I've had two kids since the last time we were in the playoffs. Game day is when I get my peace and quiet now."

Hello ladies, if you are looking for ways to improve your oral skills to give pleasure to your man, the following oral sex tips will be of great help for you to work on.
(1) Maintaining visual contact
Keeping eye contact helps to maintain connection with your partner. If through your eyes you can show him how much you like what you are doing in pleasing him orally, this can arouse him a great deal.
(2) Getting creative with your tongue
You can change the shape of your tongue in stimulating him in order to give him different sensations. A tongue that is wide and flat feels very different as compared to one that is curled up, or rolled into a tube. The side edge of your tongue, the tip, the flat part in the middle of your tongue, each of these parts gives different kinds of sensation to him. He will especially feel the difference when your tongue is in contact with his frenulum, scrotum or certain spots on the shaft of his genitals.
(3) Do not neglect his scrotum
The scrotum is a highly sensitive spot you should not leave out when giving him oral sex. You can either gently tap or massage his scrotum with the pads of your fingers. You can also make a circle with your thumb and index finger and grab the scrotum at the point where it meets the penis and gently pull at it.
(4) Pressing on his perineum
The perineum is the area between the scrotum and anus. Depending on some men's preference, some of them find it very enjoyable when you use your fingers to apply a bit of pressure in the middle of this area.
(5) Giving him pleasure through sucking
Sucking the male organ with just the tip of it or when the tip and some part of the shaft is in your mouth can be a very highly pleasurable experience to your partner. This is because the sucking action can draw even more blood into his genitals.
(6) Working on his anus
The anus is filled with nerve endings and is therefore very sensitive to your stimulation. When giving him oral sex, you can increase the level of pleasure by using your finger to gently massage the outside of the anus. The sensation on him will be unforgettable if you can combine this with the sucking action as mentioned in the previous point.
(7) Getting feedback on his preference
Some men may like a bit of rough handling of his "little brother" such as using your teeth on certain areas of it. Both the tip and shaft of the penis, when properly lubricated can take in a fair amount of friction and squeezing. When it comes to scrotum, it is best not to apply direct pressure on his testicles. You have to get his feedback to find out how much rough handling he can take it when giving him oral sex.
(8) The use of sex toys
When you are busily masturbating him with your mouth, you can use a vibrator to provide some external stimulation on the middle part of the perineum and/or the outside of the anus.
(9) Spicing things up
You can enrich the oral sex experience with additional ingredients such as sexual fantasy role play, dirty talking or some specific kinds of touch which include grabbing, slapping and spanking.
What if you are feeling a bit lazy at times but do not want to disappoint your man? In this case, you can choose to lie on your back. You then ask your partner to adopt the doggie position and he positions his genitals directly over your mouth. With this position, you can still give your man a good blowjob even if you are lack of energy.
To make having sex mutually fun, you can adopt the 69 position, whereby both of you face each other's genitals. With this position, both of you can give oral sex to each other.
Try these oral sex tips to make him begging more from you. For additional amazing ideas on how to get your partner to be sexually addicted to you, read on more from Blow Job and Oral Kit.

" Author: Tom Clancy / Genre: Crime / Thriller "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Clear and Presnt Danger was written in 1989 by Tom Clancy and is his fifth book. It is the fourth book in the Jack Ryan series following on from 'Hunt for Red October', 'Patriot Games' and the 'Cardinal of the Kremlin'. This book is takes a break from the Cold War which by 1989 was now at an end and shifts Ryan's focus to the Columbian Cartels and America's war on drugs. The title refers to a speech made by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr who argued about the rights of the individual vs those of the Governement in times of war. His belief was that Government must do whatever is necessary to protect itself in those times it faces adversity.
After the US Coast Gaurd stumbles across the murder of a man and his family aboard a private yacht by two Hispanic males, the American President is forced by a shcoked and appalled public into taking a harder line on the drugs trafficking operations of the Cali Cartels. His solution with the assistance of high ranking CIA officials is to instigate a covert war on Columnian soil and take out the drugs shipments at their source.
Early successes in the war and also in seizing drug money laundered by the victim of the yacht murder soon turn sour when the Escobedo Cartel strikes back. Ryan, recently promoted to the position of Deputy Director of Intelligence at CIA, stumbles accross the escalating conflict and is forced to go behind the back of his President and most of his senior staff in order to stop the escalation before it costs more lives.
The book marks the first time Ryan and John Clark directly interact in a partnership which will span many of the Ryan series and go beyond in to Clark's own stories. Also introduced is Domingo Chavez of Rainbow Six fame.
At nearly 700 pages long, it will keep even the most avid reader busy. It has multiple plot strands, most of which I have omitted from the above synopsis to avoid giving away how it plays out. Needless to say you'll need to be fully aware of who characters are and what they do. More than once characters who are introduced early on will reappear only later to fulfil their roles. This book is one of Clancy's lighter tech novels, which helps. Equally the lack of Cold War hostility means that is has aged better, although the military obsessives out there will probably note the use of older machines and tech.
It's probably fair to say that tis was the first point at which Clancy's start began to wane. This book doesn't need to be as long as it is and you can't help feeling that some of the characters could have been compressed or even removed altogether. Even with Clancy's easy narrative you may struggle to keep on going. As it is, it's not a bad book, but you will begin to feel it's a bit of a slog. If you are a fan, then you'll probably enjoy it. If not i'd suggest Hunt for Red October might be a better place to start.
After playing Rainbow 6 the game I bought the book and read it, I completely enjoyed it. I was describing the book to my father and he told me about the Characters of Clark and Chavez that appear in some of the other works by Clancy, so off into the attic I went to find the books and I am annoyed that I have not read this book before as it is a most excellent book that finds you gripped with anticipation in whether they survive or not. This book is set in America who is as always having some trouble with drugs and so they decide to do something about it by sending some soldiers over to Columbia, they also do some other things but to find out about them you will need to read this book and I would advise you to read it as once you start you will not be able to put it down. In this book you see Jack Ryan who works for the CIA and also played important parts in other Clancy titles, make some very hard decisions about right and wrong. Also as I mentioned earlier you see Clark and Chavez, who become very important people in Rainbow 6, start to work together. This book is full of action and suspense, which will leave you hungry for more of the same; there is plenty of gun totalling action with tragedy thrown in to keep you occupied with every turn of the page. If you have seen the film like I have then I would recommend that you read this book as there is so much more going on between these pages then the film shows.
Now that's what I'm talkin' about!! Although recently Tom Clancy has come under fire from critics, one cannot forget his earlier efforts, nor deny their merits. Clear and Present Danger is perhaps the best example of Mr. Clancy's abilities, which are formidable indeed. Whether it is espionage, military tactics, government conspiracy, or plausible, future scenarios you crave, you will be satisfied by this effort. It's length is not formidable (compared to some of Mr. Clancy's more recent tomes), and there are no real moral messages and expositions to wade through. Overall, Clancy at the top of his form, and highly recommended.
Clear and present Danger is the bok that clancy really lays the ground work for the rest of the series introducing two of the key players Mr Clark and Domingo Chavez that go to star in the rest of his books on the CIA agent Jack Ryan. The story revolves around the Americans problems involving the Columbian drugs cartel and is possibly losely connected to there involvement in El Salvadour. A presidential advisor takes it upon himself to aid the president by launching special forces into the jungle to tackle the drugs problem at source of course things go wrong and the advisor washes his hands of it leaving Jack Ryan, John Clark and later Chavez to pick up the pieces. All in all a well told story with plenty of high tech chicanary that Clancy is so good at but with plenty of twists and turns along the way.
I found with this book that the author is deep into detail and dedicated to giving you all the background information. This causes the stories to start off slowly and to be honest it was hard to staying going anfd not lose interest in the book.. As you continue on however, references become less and less explained and the story picks up faster. Even when he explains some of the military terms and procedures, if you're not familiar with (as I am not) , it can get pretty challenging. I was not too impressed with the beginning of the book but the end of the book has much suspense and many interesting twists.
I guess I'm not a great fan of Clancy. I loved Red Storm Rising though,because of it's abundance of military knowledge, action, suspense and plot. I mean that is a book that has a huge amount of content and justifies being 1000 pages long. But all of his other books, including CAPD are 250 page novels expanded with boring tedious detail. Someone should go to his books cut out all the needless blurb and release it. I would buy it as it's clear there is a good plot at work, but following it is like reading through treacle.
I read this book without any expectations at all. It is not a genre I would normally read, but there I was at the train station, with nothing to read on the train, and I had alredy read everything by my favourite, second favourite, and even slightly less than favourite authors. So I picked this up and began to read. It must be said the basic plot is actually ok, although nothing particularly out of the ordinary. But the masses of technical jargon you are expected to wade through is just completely unreasonable. I felt as though I had just read a catologue for guns, helicopters and other sundry military equipment. The impression the author gives is that he has done a heck of a lot of research, and you are darned well going to listen to it!! The characters are not developed in nearly the depth that the hardware descriptions are. Perhaps it is my fault for reading outside my own genres. Perhaps Mr. Clancy is catering to a readership who demand such lengthy descriptions. But actually I expect any book to be able to engage me, even if I have no technical expertise, and this one failed utterly
If you have the patience to skim through a bit of technical jargon, this is a great action novel! The facts behind this story are these: in the late '80's Colombian druglord Pablo Escobar blew up a plane with 3 American nationals aboard. He wasn't interested in them but in a Columbian who had crossed him! George Bush responded by creating a secret unit of Colombian commandos dedicated to taking out the druglords. Despite many casualties Escobar was finally cornered on the roof of his Bogata mansion and riddled with assault-rifle bullets. The squad went on to mop up the Medellin and Cali drug cartels - but of course, new narco-trafficers simply stepped in! Clancy gives us a fictional version with perhaps a few too many reasons to consider military intervention, and his commandos are U.S. Army Rangers, using satellite uplinks to call in laser-guided missile strikes - this is definitely a novel for techno-freaks! CIA agent Ryan's (almost) single-handed rescue of the survivors, and a U.S. Secretary of State flying down to hobnob with a rogue Cuban Colonel, are a bit hard to swallow; still, this is a ripping yarn!

Schools hire bouncers for classroom
Bouncers and former military personnel are being hired by schools as "crowd control" to cover classes for teachers.
In one case, a state secondary school in England approached an agency which employed bouncers to take two doormen on to their staff. They were given full-time jobs as "cover supervisors" – standing in for teachers who are sick, on maternity leave or on courses.
Teachers at the National Union of Teachers' annual conference in Cardiff warned yesterday that too many heads were using untrained staff to take lessons. They voted to demand that every class should have a qualified teacher.
Andrew Baisley, a maths teacher from Camden, north London, said: "The idea is more about crowd control... than education. If you're stern and loud, that's all that's necessary."
He added: "I have nothing against a bouncer wanting to become a teacher and training for the job, but if you want to be a teacher you need training to work with children."
He said neither bouncer had been offered any training before taking on their "teaching" jobs. One has since left after a disciplinary offence against a member of staff. Both bouncers were subjected to criminal records checks.
One recruitment agency in the West Midlands, Aspire People Ltd, has advertised urging former Marines, firemen, athletes and actors to sign up to work as "hard core cover" in schools. The positions would appeal to "someone who thinks they can get involved in a school environment and control the kids", offering pay of up to £70 a day.
Delegates warned that schools were likely to hire more untrained staff to take lessons from September, when a new clause will be inserted into teachers' contracts saying they can only "rarely" be asked to cover for absent colleagues.
A spokesman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families said: "Heads should ensure that people they employ have the relevant experience and training. Our guidance is that cover supervision should only be used as a short-term solution."
Delegates called for teachers to be allowed the equivalent of one day a week off from the classroom to reduce their workload. Figures show the suicide rate among teachers is higher than the average for the country – 14.2 per 100,000 compared to 10.25.

Quite the surprise on Tuesday morning at GM Place when injured forward Pavol Demitra arrived in full equipment and practised with his Vancouver Canucks teammates.
Demitra, 35, has yet to play a game since separating his shoulder in the NHL playoffs last season, and undergoing off-season surgery. As recently as last week, the Canucks announced that Demitra had returned to his native Slovakia for treatment.
"It's a disappointing year for me, but I want to get healthy and play as soon as possible," Demitra said on Tuesday. "If everything goes as it's going right now, we probably have three weeks left to go [in rehabilitation]"
Demitra has been reduced to riding stationary bicycles, skating, and running up and down stairs at GM Place. The team has cautioned him against upper-body work until the shoulder is healed, and the winger has been told not to take full slap shots.
The Canucks and Demitra have been targeting a mid-January return ever since some setbacks derailed a comeback earlier in the season. Demitra wants to play on the Slovak Olympic team, and the Canucks could sure use an extra forward, particularly one with offensive credentials, for their 14-game road trip around the two-week Olympic break.
Demitra, who is earning $4-million (U.S.) this season, was placed on the team's long-term injured reserve at the end of training camp, which has provided some salary-cap savings for the Canucks.

Moderator: Baseball America's Josh Norris will be here at 2 p.m. EST to chat about this week's Prospect Hot Sheet.
Josh Norris: Good afternoon. It's a lovely day, the minor league season is winding down for another year, and now it's time to chat about prospects. Let's go.
Aaron Dorman (Casino Queen): Looking back, who was the most exciting MILB player you saw play this year?
Josh Norris: This is a great question, and I've certainly seen a great deal of games and players this year between college, showcases and the minors. Joey Gallo was certainly up there because of his sheer raw power, but I knew what to expect going in. With that in mind, I'll say Tim Anderson. I'd only seen him a little before, but he put on a show earlier this year at Winston-Salem hitting balls with authority to all sectors, and showing athleticism in the field and on the bases. He's rehabbing an a fractured wrist right now, but should be back if the Dash make the playoffs and could head to the Arizona Fall League.
JP Starkey (Rection, CT): As the season is coming to a close, who is your favorite to win MILB player of the year?
Josh Norris: For me, it's Kris Bryant. Joey Gallo has an argument, but Bryant has been outstanding for Day One to Day One Hundred.
LaBella & LeRoy, etc. (Gorilla Pit): What do we make of Peter O'Brien? He was killing the ball, but ever since the trade he has kind of stalled out.
Josh Norris: He hasn't really stalled out. Has been on the DL for the last couple of weeks. Only got four games or so with Mobile.
Kyle (Miami, FL): Despite his lost season, would you consider Buxton to be baseball's #1 prospect, or has Bryant passed him?
Josh Norris: We ranked him at No. 1 in our midseason update, and I'd keep him there.
Harhay, Grantham, Bozzi, LLC (CT): Any chance we see Norris in Toronto, out of the pen come September?
Josh Norris: Based on the they've moved him so quickly, I think that's the way it's trending.
Susan Grantham (UHA): What do you think of Baez's first crack of chicago, what we predicted? High Strikeout, High Power?
Josh Norris: Oh yeah. He's gonna swing and miss a lot, and hit a lot of balls very hard. This is the Javier Baez playbook for sure.
Josh Norris: Meanwhile, I just mentioned that Tim Anderson could be with the Dash for a playoff run. Wrong. He just got promoted to Double-A Birmingham.
Frank (Queens, NY): We hear a lot about Syndergaard and the countdown to his callup, but what about Matt Bowman? Did he get any votes to make this week's Hot Sheet, and what are your thoughts on him in general?
Josh Norris: First, there is no voting involved in Hot Sheet. Second, I saw Bowman a couple of weeks ago in Richmond, and he was generally unspectacular. Threw strikes with four pitches, worked quickly, but no real plusses in the repertoire. If he doesn't hit his spots, he'll get hit.
Mike (Virginia): What were your first impressions after seeing Manny Margot the other night?
Josh Norris: I got a very bad look at him. He was overaggressive at the dish at times, took some ugly hacks at others, and loafed his way into an out on the bases. Short, catchable fly to shallow right, it dropped. He jogged to first, then when it dropped he kicked it into gear toward second but was out.
Dan (Rochester NY): Is my city going to see Sano or Buxton next year, or double-a for both?
Josh Norris: I think you'll get a look at both at some point next year.
Jeremy (Minnesota): Do you think Buxton and Sano are suspects, not prospects? They are tremendously overrated.
Josh Norris: This is categorically false. Both are among the best prospects in the sport.
Mike (Virginia): Who has more upside: Henry Owens or Eduardo Rodriguez?
Josh Norris: I'm going to go with Rodriguez here. I got a very good look at him the other day in Richmond, and what I saw was very good. A good hard fastball up to 96 mph with excellent plane and life coupled with a sharp slider and a solid changeup. He was aggressive in the zone and on the inner half. Owens is good, but there are questions about the quality of his breaking ball and his ability to command the fastball within the zone.
Ryan (Minnesota): Why BA writers are high on Jose Berrios? He is a undersized pitcher and fly-ball pitcher.
Josh Norris: Because we people talk to about him have positive things to say and he's put up the numbers to match.
Kevin (New York): Josh, are scouts still high on Maikel Franco?
Josh Norris: Last I talked to them about him, yes. He's 21 and in Triple-A. It's going to take time for sure, but there are still questions about his approach.
Shannon S. (Shea's): What prospect on this hot sheet will have the biggest impact on the stretch run?
Josh Norris: Just looking at this week's sheet, I'd say it's probably Taijuan Walker and Andrew Heaney, just because their teams are closest to being in the hunt for a playoff spot. Mariners are 1/2 game out of the second wild card spot, and the Fish are just four back. Side note: I love the second wild card.
S D'eh (Cali Chrome): So far who is this years most disappointing player(s)?
Josh Norris: I'd say that's Mark Appel by a longshot. Historically bad results for a No. 1 overall pick.
Jake L. (The Gateway Arch): Should I be worried about the Cubs in a year or two, as a Cardinals fan?
Josh Norris: Very much so. Their collection of talent is unrivaled throughout the sport.
Jake L. (Dewing the Dew): Sup?
Josh Norris: Just chatting about ball. You?
Brett (Brigantine): Will Dilson Herrera be ready to make the jump to the big leagues start of next year? Or does he still need another half season of seasoning before being called up?
Josh Norris: I think Daniel Murphy is still your second baseman come next year. He's not a free agent until after next year, and Herrera could use some more seasoning.
Frank (Neilsvill): Who do you think are the best future closers in the majors/minors?
Josh Norris: I'm a big fan of Kenny Giles as a future closer in Philly. Derek Law with San Francisco has a mid-90s heater and a hammer breaking ball. Hunter Strickland with San Francisco was up to 99 when I saw him with a solid slider.
P "Tulip" Tullar (Bishop, Canada): How can the president of the Phillies say Amaro's job is not on the hot seat? When is the last time the RAJ did something good for Philly?
Josh Norris: Regardless of his performance as a GM, I think it's just bad form for an owner to come and say publicly that the GM could be fired, regardless of what he actually believes.
Ben (TX): Nice to see Norris #1 this week. Is their another team in baseball that has 3 young pitchers with the ceiling of Norris, Sanchez and Hoffman? That does not even include names like Stroman and Hutchison in the ML or Osuna and Reid-Foley in the minors. Thanks.
Josh Norris: That's a pretty good trio, for sure. The Rockies have a nice trio in Gray, Butler and Freeland. That group might stack up with Toronto.
mike miller (harrison nj): who is responsible for teaching the batting stance with hands held high above the shoulder? It is killing batting averages! Old TIme Greats held the bat head near the strike zone where the ball comes. Hold Hands Low! ty ty ty
Josh Norris: There's always a coach out there on the Internet. Always.
Sean (Mass): Of all the top prospects , who can you see opening 2015 in the majors and contributing the most consistently?
Josh Norris: I could see Kris Bryant filling this role.
T. Bilodeau (Levine, NY): As a Red Sox fan, what should I think about the Castillo signing? I know he is not on the Hot Sheet, but wow!
Josh Norris: You should be excited. Your player development group is very good. He's an excellent addition to an already enviable group of prospects.
Shannon Starkey ("Potato"ville): what's your favorite ballpark to watch a game at this time of the year?
Josh Norris: Around here, I'm partial to Winston-Salem. It's a great park, sparkly new and shiny. The 90-minute drive is a little taxing, but the view and background are perfect for video work.
J "Honey" Hamlin (Perryman, Texas): Do scouts favor the hit or power tool more? It seems that players with power can learn to hit but have a larger fail rate, but those that can hit but have no power never really go anywhere unless you are playing a position up the middle.
Josh Norris: Big power from a hitter is a lot like big velocity from a pitcher. If you have it, you're going to get a lot more chances than someone with more pedestrian skills.
Scollard Greens (Tubby, RI): How come the nats have not promoted Giolito to AA this year, yet?
Josh Norris: Well, they haven't promoted him to high Class A yet, either, so there's that.
Scollard Greens (Tubby, CT): whats your all-time favorite ballpark food?
Josh Norris: Believe it or not, I don't eat ballpark food all that much, but … I will say this: When I covered Trenton my favorite food there was Cal Ripken brand beef jerky. There were three flavors and I loved them all. Sadly, and predictably because my taste in food is weird (I like salsa on popcorn and matzo and I don't eat cheese), Cal Ripken jerky seems to have gone the way of the Dodo and Carly Rae Jepsen.
J "Honey" Hamlin (Perryman, Texas): How long will it take before we run though this era of pitchers getting TJ so early in life, obviously some of the effects started in HS, so now that everyone is aware can we expect better advice for developing arms to reduce injuries in the next 5 years or so?
Josh Norris: I don't think anybody has any concrete idea of how to stop this wave of Tommy John surgeries. There doesn't seem to be one overlying variable. Heck, it's not even just a pitching thing anymore — Miguel Sano, Matt Wieters, Mac Williamson.
Yahtzee! (Levine, NY): What prospect on this week's list has the loudest hit tool?
Josh Norris: Addison Russell
Josh Norris: All right, folks, that's it for me today. Thanks for all the questions. Someone will chat with you next week.

Has anyone out there had a recurrence of this type of cancer? I had a complete hysterectomy in February. My surgeon was exhausted by the time my turn came up on the day of surgery. I asked her if she was too tired and would like to reschedule because she looked really bad. She declined and proceeded through. Then she left town for about a month and left her patients to deal with the staff but not with a surgeon. I ended up in the emergency room where a no contrasted ct scan was performed. They found what they said could be residual ovary on my right side. I called the office and wEnt in. The nurse practitioner said it was probably just residual surgical fluid. I continue to have pain on the right side and into the leg. At the three month checkup I was told everything looked fine. Then the pap smear showed atypical cells. The surgeon said they probably were the result of the sudden cessation of estrogen.
I have my 6 month follow up next week and had a ct scan today that she wrote a script for to humor me. I called to report that I had some spotting last night. The person on phone duty asked whether it was fresh blood. It wasn't. She asked if I had been working out more than usual. I had. She indicated that it probably wasn't anything to be too concerned about since the blood wasn't fresh and I had just begun a new exercise program. I've reported pain on my right side since th surgery and it extends intomy right leg. I've had more than one urinary tract infection since surgery. Things just don't feel right. I feel like the surgeon did the part she enjoyed and now the follow-up isn't interesting enough for her. There is someone else in her practice that came highly recommended. I don't know if they'd let me switch doctors, but I don't have a good feeling about this one.
Jul 30, 2012 - 3:25 pm
I would ask to switch. My husband has done that before and they had no problem switching him to someone else. In his case we had a foreign doctor that we had a hard time understanding what he said. You might consider a second opinion and a new doctor. It doesn't seem like your getting proper care. I would not want to jeopardize my health by waiting any longer. Its your body and you should have the last say. Let us know when you get to the bottom of whats causing all your pain.
Jul 30, 2012 - 7:07 pm
Did you have a gyn/oncologist perform your hysterectomy or just a gyne surgeon? You may want to have a check up with a gyne/oncologist or if you have one at least seek out a second opinion. If you are seeking a second opinion, get someone not associated with the same group you are currently in.
You didn't indicate whether or not you received any treatment? chemo? brachytherapy? If you had brachytherapy, that can cause atypical cells on a PAP smear. Other things can cause it too like using vaginal creams a day before your PAP smear.
Did your surgery consist of removing your appendix and omentum too? what about lymph nodes?
Jul 30, 2012 - 8:57 pm
but it does happen. That's why we have follow up exams and Pap smears. I was also Stage 1a, Grade 1 endometroid adenocarcinoma and was told I had only a 5% chance of recurrence, but I still have follow-ups because it CAN happen. IF it recurs, they said it typically happens in the first 2 years and at the site of the vaginal cuff which is why they do a Pap smear. That being said, there have been recurrences amongst women on this board longer than 2 years and at other sites, so basically it can do whatever it wants and there is no guarantee that a pesky cell wasn't hiding out somewhere at the time of surgery. But the majority of women at this stage, grade and type of cancer, are cured (yes, they use that word) by surgery alone.
It sounds like your questions and concerns regarding your health are not being dealt with satisfactorily and that's not acceptable. As Kaleena asks, did a gynecologic oncologist perform your surgery? That's really important and it's important that you're followed by one. I probably bore mine to death with just another routine exam, but he's been in practice for over 20 years and I'm sure he has seen a recurrence or two and knows how important it is to keep a check on all his patients, no matter how straightforward things may seem. While I absolutely hate my visits, I always feel so light and comfortable when I leave because I believe I'm being taken seriously. If you don't feel that way, you should switch docs. They're used to it!
Write down all your questions prior to your appointment next week and take someone with you for another set of ears. Glad you're getting that CT scan and hope it will put your mind at ease.
Oh, about the bleeding . . while 6 months seems like an awfully long time, my vaginal cuff took at least 3 months to completely heal, maybe 4 months. No one seemed particularly worried about it but me.
Best wishes,
Aug 01, 2012 - 12:33 am
Hi Suzanne, I am trying to find some support since my surgery..I had everything removed in June and have had my six week check-up..First I was told that I had grade 1 but then after the surgery it was upped to grade 3..now because of that I am advised to have both chemo and radiation... I am going for a second opinion because after reading about all the problems other women have had from the treatments I am terrified to do any of them.
I am trying to get into a chat room since I feel like I am in a black hole and so alone.
I am so afraid to get the second opinion ....I was told it was contained in the wall 5% only but I am so scared they will say they found more in other organs.
It seems like there will never be anything sure again in my life except 'cancer'...
I am sooooo afraid.

Definately go for the second opinion. The sooner the better. It's been a year since my chemo and radiation. Find out what drugs they intend to use, query them about the side effects. The oncology folks can advise you on how to combat the side effects. I had six sessions of taxol and carboplatin and two sessions of radiation at the end. I made it! Fatigue and hair loss were my worst side effects. I did end up with neuropathy in my feet but I have a script that helps the aching feeling at night. During this process you will have days that you'll feel depressed. This will pass. Remember, a year from know you'll feel good again. I opted for the chemo to make sure all the cancer cells get killed. So far so good. Stay strong and try to find a support group in your area. Sharing your experiences is a good thing and you'll find that you are not alone. Best Wishes!

Hi Suzanne, I am trying to find some support since my surgery..I had everything removed in June and have had my six week check-up..First I was told that I had grade 1 but then after the surgery it was upped to grade 3..now because of that I am advised to have both chemo and radiation... I am going for a second opinion because after reading about all the problems other women have had from the treatments I am terrified to do any of them.
I am trying to get into a chat room since I feel like I am in a black hole and so alone.
I am so afraid to get the second opinion ....I was told it was contained in the wall 5% only but I am so scared they will say they found more in other organs.
It seems like there will never be anything sure again in my life except 'cancer'...
I am sooooo afraid.

You will find other ladies here with grade 3 cancer who were also Stage 1a, and had chemotherapy and radiation. Do you know what type of cancer you had? The initial post was asking about adenocarcinoma, the most common type. Do you know what kind you had? If you were staged at 1a, it sounds like the only place they know the cancer was living was within the uterus. I assume your lymph nodes were checked and were clear?
Try not to fret about that second opinion. It will help you make decisions regarding future treatment and hopefully will address your fears. You have plenty of support here on this board, in addition to lots of knowledge and experience. Cancer treatments are doable, but no one would say they're easy.
Our lives are all different after cancer, no matter what type of cancer, or treatments we've had. Fear is an emotion we've all experienced. Ask any questions, vent any frustrations. We're all here for you.

Bruce La Bruce Q&A
The Abandon Normal Devices team met Bruce La Bruce ahead of the special screening of his film LA Zombie!
29 September 2011This Friday at 10pm, Abandon Normal Devices festival (AND) is teaming up with Chew Disco and Homotopia for a late night screening of Bruce La Bruce's 'gornographic' affront to modern censorship, LA Zombie.
The film follows an undead drifter (played by porn star Francois Sagat) as he tries to make a new home for himself in Los Angeles, pursuing a slew of sexual encounters with dead young men along the way.
AND found out more about Mr La Bruce's (or BLaB to his friends) obsession with zombies...
What inspired you to start making zombie films?
We live in a zombie world. There are zombie buildings, zombie banks, zombie economies, zombie nations. Zombies are the ultimate consumers and the ultimate conformists, and we live in the ultimate consumerist, conformist world. Even the gay movement has become totally conventional and conformist - gay zombies. It's a sad reality.
What was your reaction to LA Zombie being banned in Australia?
I had mixed feelings about being banned in Australia. Of course it immediately brought LA Zombie a tidal wave of publicity – the censorship story was featured on everything from Reuters to the Drudge Report to the Huffington Post! But I was also disappointed that people in Australia could not view the film. Otto; or, Up with Dead People was voted the third most popular film at the 2008 Melbourne International Film Festival and the DVD was quite popular in Australia, so I know there was anticipation for my new movie.
Of course censorship should never be tolerated because when the state starts controlling what people can and cannot watch, where does it stop? Australia like many other countries, including Canada, is dealing with a wave of conservatism infringing on civil liberties. Australian customs are starting to search laptops and iPods for pornographic material, and the government there is even attempting to filter pornographic material from the internet. No government should ever exert this kind of control.
Were there any other surprising reactions to the film?
I was actually surprised that LA Zombie was received so warmly by certain critics, particularly the Italian ones, when it premiered in competition at the Locarno Film Festival last summer. The Italian critics took it quite seriously and even explained to me what the film meant! They had elaborate interpretations and theories about the film, which was quite amazing to me.
You can find the full interview on the AND website.
The screening will start at 10pm at Wolsenholme Creative Space, 11-13 Wolstenholme Square, Liverpool. Over 18s only. Suggested donation for entry is £2 with proceeds going to a charity TBA. The screening will be followed by live performances from Bad Taste Barbies and Severin.

Stanford vs. USC: How Cardinal Can Avoid Upset Against TrojansNovember 15, 2013
The No. 5 Stanford Cardinal are on a roll when the team hits the road to take on the USC Trojans in Pac-12 play Saturday.
David Shaw's team is one week removed from an epic victory over then-ranked No. 3 Oregon and remains in the driver's seat to play host to the Pac-12 title game for the second straight year.
But the Trojans are not the surefire victory many would have thought earlier in the season with Lane Kiffin as coach. Kiffin has since been replaced by Ed Orgeron and USC has won four of five as a result.
The last time the Trojans were able to defeat a ranked opponent was in November of 2011. That can change in a hurry if the Cardinal do not tread lightly—especially after an emotional win.
Force Cody Kessler to the Air
USC has a very effective combo at running back in Tre Madden and Javorius Allen:
|USC's Current Rushing Attack
|Tre Madden
|Javorius Allen
While the former has dealt with injuries in recent weeks, Allen has been especially important in helping quarterback Cody Kessler.
Kessler has had big games in recent weeks since Kiffin's departure. Much of the credit goes to a commitment to the run game. When Kessler is on it's because his life is made easier via his backs.
For example, when USC lost to Notre Dame earlier in the year, Madden missed the game and Allen gained 20 yards on seven carries. USC as a whole only mustered 129 yards on the ground (Silas Redd gained more than 100 yards but will miss this game against Stanford). Kessler wound up with a miserable line—20-of-34 for 201 yards and an interception.
Stanford has an outstanding defense that allows fewer than 100 rushing yards per game. If the Cardinal can keep that trend alive, Kessler will have a hard time winning the game on his own.
Ride Tyler Gaffney Once More
Stanford has quite the running attack as well.
The credit goes to a single name here—senior back Tyler Gaffney.
As ESPN points out, Gaffney was instrumental in last week's big win over Oregon:
Gaffney broke the school's record for carries in that game and now has 1,043 yards and 13 touchdowns on a 4.9 average. USC must understand that the Cardinal are similar to their offense in that Gaffney makes things significantly easier for quarterback Kevin Hogan.
The Cardinal need one more Gaffney-heavy game before he can relax in the team's next game against lowly California (1-9). His production on the ground will go a long way in deciding the outcome.
Continue What Works
It sounds so simple. Stanford has cruised to a victory in this matchup four straight times and five of the last six.
Yet it cannot go understated how important Stanford's emotional win over the Ducks last week is here. We've all heard of a let-down performance and things of that nature.
Per ESPN, the last time (2011) USC beat a ranked opponent, said opponent was coming off a major victory over a Top-10 team (No. 6 Oregon beat No. 3 Stanford before losing to USC the next week).
History lesson aside, the Cardinal can avoid the same fate by doing what works. Stanford has more talent on both sides of the football. Run Gaffney down the Trojans' throats. Use a run defense that limited the explosive Oregon offense to 62 rushing yards. Hit Kessler early and often.
Steady is the course for Stanford in a hostile environment.

The potential impacts of global warming on the surface of the Earth are horrible enough inundated coastlines, sunken atolls, elimination of species, the spread of tropical disease to the temperate climates. But in the sea, upon which much of Earth's life depends, they could be even more devastating.
Marcia K. McNutt, president and CEO of the Monterey Bay, Calif., Aquarium Research Institute, said the danger to oceans is acidification, caused when carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere end up in the ocean and change into carbonic acid.
McNutt is scheduled to give the University of Utah's Frontiers of Science Lecture, speaking on this topic, at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The talk, free to the public, will be held in the Aline Wilmot Skaggs Biology Building Auditorium on the university campus.
"The reason I'm eager to talk to the people in Utah about this is the fact that the conversation on climate change is so focused on the impact on the land side of the planet," she said in a telephone interview. "And yet two-thirds of Earth is covered by ocean."
Most people get their protein from the ocean, she said. If climate change harms fisheries, "that is going to have a very big impact on our ability to harvest protein from the oceans." Also, more than half of the oxygen that we breathe comes from plants that photosynthesize in the oceans, she added.
"So we have to be concerned about any impacts of climate change that affect the ability of those plants to convert carbon dioxide back into oxygen."
The ultimate fate of the tremendous volume of CO2 released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel is to be absorbed into the ocean, she said. There it's converted to carbolic acid.
"Right now, the uptake of CO2 by the ocean is 1 million tons of CO2 per hour," she said. This makes the oceans ever more acidic and "500 billion tons of CO2 have been taken up by the oceans since the dawn of the industrial revolution."
Many families monitor the acidity or alkalinity of their gardens or lawns, she said, showing the importance of a proper balance for a healthy ecosystem.
Too much carbolic acid will turn the oceans too acidic, McNutt added. "That is not beneficial to either the plant life or the animal life in the ocean."
The first part of the worldwide aquatic ecosystem to suffer are the coral reefs, she said. The reefs are home to many animal and plant species.14 comments on this story
"We are already seeing signs of severe degradation in the coral reefs," she said. Some of these reefs are beginning to die. The coral is bleaching because the water is too acidic and too warm.
It's called bleaching because of the death of algae that are associated with the coral and essential to the health of the reef. "The algae photosynthesize and are in a symbiotic relationship with the corals." When they die and whiten, the coal dies.
But that's only an early step in a disaster that may be starting. Acidification could happen too swiftly for life to adapt, leaving the oceans with only a few surviving species."Life as we know it today has not experienced an acid ocean," McNutt said. "So they (many life forms) probably don't have the genetic wherewithal to adapt."
