Representatives of the center called the department today to offer assistance in the investigation after seeing a story about the disappearance of 16-year-old Marta Ramirez Mendez online, Chief A. J. Benefield said.
The girl was last seen at her home on U.S. 431 in the Hollis Crossroads area on Sept. 30 at about 4:20 a.m. Her family thought she had gone to school, but realized something was wrong when she didn't come home, said her brother-in-law, Hector Chun. The girl lives with Chun and her sister, Alicia Mendez.
She was reported missing by Cleburne County High School officials on Oct. 2, when the two went to the school for help.
Superintendent Claire Dryden said the school provided a translator to help fill out the missing persons report.
Attempts to reach the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for comment were unsuccessful Wednesday. According to its website, the nonprofit organization has been working with law enforcement agencies and parents to help missing and exploited children since 1974.
It has a national tip line, 1-800-THE-LOST, to report information about missing children. It also circulates pictures of missing children. The website states it has assisted law enforcement in recovering 188,000 missing children.
As of this afternoon, the 16-year-old had not yet been added to the list of missing children.
Marta Ramirez Mendez is 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 110 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information about her should contact Heflin police at 256-463-2291. Authorities urge anyone who sees her to call 911.

Is there a way to listen or record calls via wifi & ssh on a windows pc or maybe a program? thanks in advance! Rep up....
that would be awesome, let us now if you find something

anyone have any ideas?
No, because to do anything with the baseband, you need to disable the baseband so that the UI is not using it.
Anyway, that would be highly illegal, and I doubt most developers are interested in creating a stupid program like that.
first of all there are plenty of usefull reasons for such a program & ive had phones in the past that recorded calls so knock the chip off your shoulder before you speculate on any such app or its use!!!
Okay, you're arguing about whether or not it's worth it. I'm saying that it's not possible.
Or I doubt it would be possible to execute from SSH.
I dont remember saying it was worth it , thought there might already be something simillar compiled!!!! Hence the part of my question that says "program"!!! As for the impossible part! I doubt that!!!
Okay, it may not be impossible, but the easiest way is. It would be pretty hard to get an application to attach to the baseband, rahter then take over it, which is the simplest way.
I guess there isn't anything like that ?

DailyDirt: About those TPS Reports...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Microsoft has gotten rid of its "stack ranking" employee evaluation process. Many former and current Microsoft employees consider stack ranking -- reviewing on a curve -- to be detrimental to both career and morale. From now on, Microsoft will be evaluating employees based more on teamwork and collaboration. [url]
- "People analytics" -- a big-data-driven approach to evaluating employees -- is changing the way companies hire, fire, and promote. There are plenty of big companies that have dedicated analytics teams in their HR departments -- Google, HP, Intel, General Motors, Procter & Gamble -- but even smaller companies are getting into the game. So, beware that no matter where you work, they're watching you. [url]
- Yahoo's new employee evaluation process may finally be yielding its first results. The new approach attempts to mimic the more data-driven process used at Google, where CEO Marissa Mayer spent her entire career before becoming Yahoo's latest leader. [url]

While Igniting the Imprint as a Mainstream Brand, Keyshia Dior Is Now Keyshia Ka'oir
(Miami, Florida February 2, 2012)—Keyshia Dior transitions her complete brand from being one of the music industry's sought out video models to now a beauty and makeup entrepreneur and philanthropist abroad. Ka'oir Cosmetics, founded by the diva, has ignited on some of the world's most beautiful women of color, and is now on its way to reaching the mainstream markets on a national manner. Keyshia Dior is now Keyshia Ka'oir to the world.
On Wednesday February 1, 2012 Keyshia Ka'oir decided to announce via UStream to her "Twitterdolls" and Ka'oir Cosmetics customers and supporters of such change.
She ended the UStream with this statement:
"I have officially changed my name from Keyshia Dior to Keyshia Ka'oir. The continuous success of Ka'oir Cosmetics has truly been such a blessing and growth as the role model I envision to be in our young women today and tomorrow, I am excited to be able to represent the brand to my fullest capability. With such growth comes sacrifice, so I decided to put "Keyshia Dior" the urban video model to rest successfully and launch "Keyshia Ka'oir" to continue the expansion of my imprint. Starting off in the industry with an accolade of being one of the most elusive video models was a blessing, but this was only meant to be my beginning in my career. I want the world to know that Keyshia Ka'oir is Ka'oir Cosmetics. Ka'oir Cosmetics embodies everything a confident woman stands for: we are unique, bold, fresh, fun, seductive, innovative and vibrant in all that we do. Ka'oir Cosmetics represents a lifestyle of beauty, determination and being focused to be successful. As Ka'oir Doll, we are passionate about being at our best at all times while setting ourselves apart from the rest at the same time.
I am Keyshia Ka'oir. Beautiful is Ka'oir."

306 Clement St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9411837.783156 -122.462563
Neighborhoods: Inner Richmond, Northwest
Now this, is a neighborhood coffee shop. There's no free wifi, but you can comfortably enjoy time getting lost in a book, or on your computer while sipping a fresh squeezed juice on one of their comfy couches.
very comfortable coffeehouse – This place is really cute. It's quiet enough to study in, and the apple cider is amazing. They many couches to chill out in, too!
An extensive menu of snacks and ample sunlit sitting space makes this Inner Richmond Bohemian java joint a sure bet on a nice afternoon. – A mish-mash of comfortable, worn-in thrift store furniture, tables topped with colorful paintings and rotating art on the walls give this snug spot a homey vibe. A chalkboard lists coffee and tea drinks, along with breakfast wraps and thick sandwiches like the rosemary chicken on focaccia. For a more leisurely vibe, stop by at night (rather than, say, weekend brunch) for pints and the occasional live music or open mic set.
Awesomely chill and yummy local cafe... – I recently discovered this cute little cafe on Clement, since my friend just moved to the area. Independently owned (I like to support the little guys), it has a pleasant, homey, chill-out vibe. The staff is friendly, fitting the whole relaxed, neighborhood-y feel of the place.
They have scrumptious sandwiches and all kinds of smoothies. My favorite is their French toast, with distinctive caramelized apple pieces -- I'd eat it any time of day! Blue Danube is the perfect hangout place to settle in with my book and grab a coffee and munchies.
A coffee house like home!!! – Friendly staff, great tea selection and I just love the decor in this coffee house. There are few couches and 3 computers you can use. The place is a bit crowded during rainy day. A great place to hang out w/ friends or by youself with a good book!!
Nice little Clement Street spot for coffee – This place is small, comfy, hip and inviting. The coffee is decent, the food is excellent, and the decoration is unusual and interesting. I like the hand-painted tables. Not a lot of space, but they use it very well.
A great spot in the Richmond... – Comfortable atmosphere, good coffee, and great sandwiches. I have lunch here pretty much every week and will bring my laptop here when I need to "unplug" and get work done. Great on a sunny day because there are a few outside tables.
Great Place! – I love this place so much, I'm tempted to "Icelandize-it" and write that I hate it so that I can keep it all to myself, but, alas, that wouldn't be fair. Super chill atmosphere, great people, food is fantastic.. kudos to the staff!

"Fixing Flaws and Stopping Draws"
A lot of my friends often ask me what I do in my studies. Unfortunately, for the most part, it's difficult to make what I study sound interesting to a non-economist. Economics as a field is fascinating and incredibly useful, but the core skills and courses required of a PhD in economics are themselves largely based around complex mathematical models that could send even the more erudite of dinner guests to sleep.
Recently, however, I got the opportunity to tailor one of my assessment pieces to a chessy theme, for a change. The subject was called "Social and Economic Networks", a course focussed on a new and emerging branch of mathematics based around network theory. I decided to write my final research proposal on how the field might be used to develop a new tie-break system for Swiss and round-robin chess events.
I should stress that I'm not really suggesting it as a serious alternative for tournament chess, but it's definitely true that the current systems each have their flaws – which I discuss in the paper. My system is based on tallying up a network of direct and indirect wins over all participants in the competition, and has an added perk in that it encourages players to fight for decisive results rather than settle for quick draws. Mind you, it has its own flaws, but at least it made for a more interesting project than what I'm used to.
You can check it out on the link below, if you're interested, though I should add some sort of warning for the mathematical derivations and prosaic language. As an example, consider the end of the introduction:
This proposal seeks to address both the inadequacies of current tie-break systems and the issue of ever- increasing draws in chess by introducing a new tie-break system for large tournaments. The system uses a measure based on both direct and indirect wins, and is a generalisation of standard centrality values stemming from the directed network of wins throughout an event.
Still, it was kind of a fun application of some complex math, and I managed to wrangle a bit of text on recent tie-break controversies at the European Championships and also the Commonwealth Championships. Just try not to be too scared by all the Greek symbols.

Is there really an "ever-increasing" amount of draws in chess? I get the feeling there are many, many ways to "fix" a "draw problem" that doesn't really exist.
1 year 6 months ago
You are missing the point, guys! It's about a fairer tie break system, making a better trade-off between fairness and combativeness (and remaining practical.) It's not about "fixing" the "drawing problem", the catchy title of the article is perhaps slightly misleading.
On first glance, I think the proposal is great! How come nobody has thought of it before?!
Who will do the calibration of such system? This sounds to me harder work than writing an article.
If you want to use such tiebrakesystem then you will need an app for the calculations. This makes it less practical than a tiebrakesystem which you can calculate manually too. I also prefer that participants know in advance of the last round, how the final tiebrake more or less will look. This doesn't sound possible with your new tiebrakesystem. You will get situations like in the olympiad that long after the games are finished, nobody knows who actually won.
He stressed that it's not a real alternative. It's a paper, that is all.
The blogarticle says indeed that is not a serious alternative. However the paper itself has a complete other tone and pretends to give a real solution. I assume the professor only saw the paper and not the blogarticle as I can imagine that it was the purpose to use the network theory to find a serious solution on a problem.
1 year 6 months ago
On a quick first read, I see two massive objections:
1. The two claimed chief differences with Buchholz don't have to do with Directed Network vs. Buchholz, but with the arbitrary choice to ignore draws for tiebreak. I suspect if you calculate Buchholz ignoring draws you come pretty much to the same result.
2. Basic fairness: If you win against Kamsky and draw against Nakamura, it should give you the same tiebreak as if you win against Nakamura and draw against Kamsky. If I understood the proposal right, it won't. Again, this imo undesirable effect has nothing to do with directed networks, but with the choice to ignore draws.
1 year 6 months ago
David's paper has left me wanting to now see more, to see what happens when it is applied to differing sized swiss and round robin events (will this stage 2 actually happen?). If a 'good' delta figure can be determined, then it should be a relatively simple matter to incorporate it into the pairing software systems. Then tournament organisers in advance could state what delta value will apply, if this tie break system is being used.

- "I just wanted to say thanks for MediaMonkey, it is exactly what I have been desperate for, for ages. I have a library of 35,000 MP3's and have been unable to find any player that can cope with anything close to that number in a sensible, intuitive and most importantly, speedy fashion (MusicMatch is a total joke in comparison). MediaMonkey does all these things and has left me open-mouthed in awe and admiration since I downloaded it yesterday." — Tim
- "I have hundreds (if not thousands) of music files on my computer and I regularly use at least 10 programs to deal with 'em all. So I figured it was time to consolidate. I started looking for a music management program that would take care of all my needs. Low and behold, I found one. ...(MediaMonkey) can best be described as the Swiss Army knife of music management software." — Dan Mitchell, Tech TV
- "This program is truly one of the gems I have come across. I have been managing my music on my PC the past 5 years and had settled on MusicMatch Juke Box + several other programs to handle the data and tags. However, Media Monkey's features set is absolutely remarkable in the free version..." — Greg
- "I just wanted to thank you for such an awesome piece of kit. I've used (MediaMonkey) every day for six months, I couldn't be without it. It's no understatement to say it's improved the quality of my life."
- "...When I decided to put my entire CD collection on my pc in mp3 format, RealJukebox just bogged down unbearably (9000+ songs). (MediaMonkey) is the first thing I tried and I have been running it nonstop since then. I have had no trouble with slowdowns, freezing, stalling, and it does things that RJ doesn't do, such as normalization of volume. It's fairly intuitive, more so than RJ, and it's free!" — Nate

this rug is great if you need a pop of color. we needed a rug for the kids' gameroom that could tolerate a soda spill here and food spill there without the spill "stain" standing out. so many colors and gradation in the coloring - this rug is perfect. the colors are not muted and if you're wondering about the blues - they are more blue than grey. many shades of each color so most any green, orange, blue or red will go with this rug.
I love this rug. The colors are bright and fun - and work perfectly with my Earthy tones (hardwood, brown leather couches). This rug would go well with neutral furniture. The quality is very good. The rug fibers are soft and feel good on your bare feet. It vacuums nicely. Some string seems to be pulling around the edges, but I have trimmed them and not had any other issues. Overall, excellent product. I am very pleased with my purchase.
When you look close at some of the stripes you will see that the colors "bleed" like another reviewing mentioned. You have to be really examining the rug closely to notice. Other than that, this rug is fantastic! It has bold, vibrant colors that really added a nice touch to our room with all hardwood floors. The pile is low but fluffy and soft on bare feet. I definitely would recommend this rug if this is your price range and you are looking for something large and colorful.
I needed an inexpensive area rug for a location that takes a constant beating, is subject to a tremendous amount of wear and tear but also needs to look good. No small feat. Thanks to the other reviewers plus free shipping and a sale promotion, this seemed like a good choice. Arrival was quite fast, rug came rolled up but unlike others, immediately flattens. Non skis backing (that rubbery feeling stuff) makes it very versatile without the need for a carpet pad or tape etc... Colors are terrific - very vibrant and attractive. Measurements are accurate. Edging is sufficient but not overly done. Pile is low and not quite as dense as I would prefer but well within the realm of reasonable especially at this price point. Very well suited for my needs and more pleasantly surprised than expected. Just realize what you are buying; this is NOT a deep pile nor super plush but is a great looking area rug with a good rubberized backing which eliminates the need for extra cost in buying a pad/taping down etc. No hassle, great look, great price!
Great rug for a busy house - low pile rug - will make for easy clean up. Rug itself on the thinner side - just doubled the non-slip pad - Perfect!
It just brings out my other furniture so well! Love it!!
I'm not an experienced rug-buyer, but I think for what we paid we got a decent rug. The pattern varies from what shows in the photos, and I find the colors less muted than in the photos as well. The pastels are less earth-toned looking and the brights are pretty bright. We've got red walls and an orange couch. (Renting right now.) This ties them together nicely and our cats love to lounge on it. Also, it cleans up pretty easily, and I find that regular all-purpose spray cleaner doesn't cause any color bleeding or fading.
This area rug is a really great quality especially for the price! the colors are so vibrant and appealing. If you are looking for something to withstand some traffic without showing it this is the item for you! This rug has added the perfect balance of color to my room that had a LOT of browns in it. I am very pleased with the quality and price! (I even got the smaller rug of the same pattern to accent by the front door!) :)
Would I rate this to a friend? Umm yes the day we put it down on the floor I posted a picture to facebook telling everyone how great this rug was! I have never bought a rug (or anything else) off overstock.com, until I purchased this rug and another. My husband wasn't as excited about this rug as I was but he went with it. When we opened up both rugs to put them down he actually debated not putting "his rug" in the living room. Excellent color, soft and cushy, and we love sitting on it!
This is a decent rug for the price, but the colors are definitely brighter then it shows online. I purchased it for my dining room and it was too much of a stand out piece than an anchor piece. May be good for a childs room, play room or basement. Not very elegant looking.

I've decided to take the plunge back into the world of sunflowers. Anyone gardening in public space knows that sunflowers have a time-sensitive contract out on their lives beginning the moment they bloom. Their big beautiful blooms inspire grabbing hands that MUST rip and tear and have them all to themselves. I'd like to think those grabbing hands are taking the decapitated, stemless heads home and cuddling with them at night, clutching them with joy. The hands are lonesome. They need beauty in their life! Odds are that those ripped flowers don't make it down the block — tossed into a City planter as soon as the hands realize the awkwardness of a stemless flower head.
The sight of enormous decapitated plants poking from the back of the garden is too heartbreaking. I got fed up years ago, throwing my arms up in defeat and announcing "A sunflower will never bloom in my garden again!"
And so I have remained since, living in denial that sunflowers exist. Allowing myself rare moments to enjoy them in other peoples' gardens but never allowing myself to look at seeds or varieties. It's all very sad and heartbreaking.
I let my guard down in a moment of weakness on our trip to Austin last month. We had soldiered through the rain and across a highway to visit Big Red Sun garden center. I refused to leave empty-handed having put in such great effort to get there! As soon as I saw this pack of 'Chocolate Cherry' Sunflowers from Renee's Garden I knew I had to grow them. I had been withholding from sunflowers for so long that I had completely missed out on all the rich, burgundy varieties available. Now that the door is open I've also got my eye on 'Cinnamon Sun' and 'Junior.'
You can bet I will not be starting any of these in the street/guerilla garden. No ma'am, I am saving a nice sunny and safe spot on the roof for these babies and I MIGHT attempt to grow one in my plot at the community garden where their safety is less secure but much greater than their chances in the Garden of Doom.

James Galwayflutist
Born: 12/8/1939
Birthplace: Belfast, Northern Ireland
James Galway has achieved unparalleled success as a classical flutist, largely because of his frequent forays into popular music. Galway began his professional career as a flutist with the Wind Band of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Sadler's Wells Orchestra (1960–65). He also appeared as the principal flutist with the London Symphony Orchestra the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (1967–69), and as the solo flutist for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (1969–75), after which he embarked on a solo career. Singles from Galway's many albums have landed him on Europe's pop charts, including his rendition of John Denver's "Annie's Song" (1978). Galway also commissions a good deal of original pieces, which makes him popular with up and coming composers. In addition, Galway has authored James Galway: An Autobiography (1978).

LIVERMORE, California -- For the great people of San Francisco, the Christmas holidays don't truly begin until one neighbor lights up his house.
"Deacon Dave" Rezendes has been at it for 30 years. Every Christmas he transforms his home into one of the biggest light displays in the state.
Rezendes says he uses more than 345,000 lights in his display. His neighbors say they love it.
"Deacon Dave" won't say how much his electric bill for the month of December is.

Top 10 Whale Shark Facts
Today is International Whale Shark Day, so what better time to celebrate these magnificent creatures? Here are 10 facts to dazzle your friends with:
1. We know you're wondering: whale shark – whale, or shark? The whale shark is a shark, and as a shark (and thus a fish), it is the largest fish in the sea. It breathes via its gills, and has cartilage instead of bone, making it a true shark. The name "whale shark" comes from the shark's large size, which rivals some species of whales, and also because the shark is a filter feeder, like baleen whales.

2,000 Sharks Massacred in Colombian Sanctuary
Just a few weeks after we celebrated a soaring victory for sharks on the U.S. West Coast, Colombian authorities have reported that as many as 2,000 hammerhead, Galápagos and silky sharks may have been slaughtered in Colombia's Pacific waters.
According to the Colombian president's top environmental adviser, divers saw 10 Costa Rican trawlers illegally entering the Malpelo wildlife sanctuary. When the divers swam down to the ocean floor, they found a shocking amount of sharks without their fins.
The Malpelo sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage site, provides an ideal habitat for threatened sharks. Unfortunately, the high concentration of sharks in the sanctuary draws illegal fishing boats from nearby nations.
It's sad day for sharks, but we'll continue working to stop illegal fishing and shark finning. You can help by supporting our campaign to protect our ocean's top predators from extinction.
Unpacking the Shark Myth: 'Demon Fish'
Washington Post environment and politics reporter Juliet Eilperin has a new book out today that explores the science and mythology behind the ocean's top predators.
In "Demon Fish: Travels Through the Hidden World of Sharks," Eilperin travels the globe -- she swims with whale sharks in Belize and great white sharks in South Africa -- to investigate how individuals and cultures relate to sharks and how the misperceptions surrounding them threaten their continued existence on the planet.
The book also includes a few nods to Oceana's shark campaign work, including our work to combat the use of squalane in beauty products, and actress January Jones' visit to Capitol Hill to advocate for sharks.
But enough about us, be sure to check out NPR's great interview with Eilperin, and catch her on tour in the coming months. You can see her full tour schedule as well as excerpts, reviews and other information about the book at www.demonfishbook.com.
Here's a book trailer for "Demon Fish" to whet your appetite:
January Jones on Swimming with Whale Sharks
For her second "Scared for Sharks" PSA, "Mad Men" star January Jones joined Oceana in Belize to swim with the largest fish in the ocean: the whale shark.
Last spring, I traveled with Oceana to Belize's Gladden Spit Marine Reserve to photograph and film whale sharks for the new "Scared for Sharks" PSA. It was my second time swimming with sharks, so I wasn't as nervous, especially since whale sharks, like most sharks, are not a threat to humans.
It's humans, in fact, who pose the greater risk to sharks because of our insatiable desire for shark fins, shark livers, shark teeth and every other shark product you can think of. Scientists say that tens of millions of sharks are killed every year for their fins, which is directly causing some shark populations around the world to crash.

Expedition Wildlife Spotting, Part 2
On my second attempt to spot whale sharks yesterday, I flew with the effervescent Bonny Schumaker, whose organization On Wings of Care helps protect wildlife and their habitats by helping with search, rescue, rehabilitation and scientific research. Samantha Whitcraft of the non-profit Oceanic Defense also joined us for the flight. We took off from New Orleans and flew about 50 miles south over the Gulf.
Bonny and her 4-seater plane, whom she lovingly refers to as "Bessie," have years of experience spotting wildlife. Unfortunately, despite Bonny and Bessie's best efforts, the conditions yesterday were simply not ideal for finding marine life. Choppy waters and white caps made it a challenge to see much of anything besides oil rigs, oil boom and barrier islands:

Tiny Planes and Tar Balls
I'm here in steamy Gulfport, Mississippi helping out with our expedition in the Gulf of Mexico. The second largest city in Mississippi, Gulfport was demolished by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and has taken an environmental and economic hit from the oil spill.
Yesterday I went up in a spotter plane to try and spot whale sharks. If we caught sight of one, we planned to radio to our boat, the Latitude, and let the crew know where the sharks were so they could tag them.
Unfortunately, we had to turn back to the airport before spotting anything – except some abandoned oil boom and a few dolphins -- because the clouds began to look ominous, and the pilot didn't want to risk getting caught in a thunderstorm (nor did I). It was quite a treat to be up in a four-seater plane looking over the vast network of wetlands and tributaries that empty into the Gulf of Mexico.

Swimming With Belize's Gentle Giants
Happy Shark Week! Oceana scientist Margot Stiles wrote this post for us back in May, but in honor of Shark Week, and because I like it so much, here it is again for your reading pleasure.
Have you ever swum with sharks? Let us know in the comments! - Emily
Every spring Belize hosts one of nature's great wonders: the arrival of whale sharks in search of spawning snapper. This year I had the pleasure of witnessing it first hand, on last month's Oceana expedition.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the sea at 60 feet long, but it is mild-mannered and harmless to people. Around the full moons of March through June each year, whale sharks arrive and begin feeding at the Gladden Spit and Silk Cayes Marine Reserve near Placencia, Belize.
Tony Rath of Naturalight Productions has spent thirty years photographing wildlife in Belize and still beams at the mention of his most recent expedition with Oceana. "Seeing whale sharks this close is an unforgettable experience, as inspiring as seeing a puma or any of the large animals on land," he said.

Guest Post: Gulf Sharks Threatened by the Oil Spill
Our friends at Oceans4Ever are hosting the first ever Summer Sharktakular this week, along with shark blogger extraordinare, David Shiffman. David wrote this guest post for us about the threats facing sharks in the Gulf. Be sure to check out the rest of the Sharktakular this week! - Emily
Many threats facing sharks, such as bycatch and finning, are well known to conservationists. Less well known, but just as serious to some species, are the threats to sharks from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Sharks can come into direct contact with oil on the surface, which appears to be happening to whale sharks. These threatened animals, the largest fish in the sea, feed by filtering plankton out of the water. In other words, they swim with their mouths open near the surface, which is a surefire recipe to ingest floating oil.
The estuaries of the northern Gulf are important nurseries for a variety of smaller shark species. Newborn sharks use the shallow waters, safe from predators and full of food, as a safe place to grow up. Oil has reached many of these estuaries, with unknown (but undoubtedly bad) long-term effects on the species that use them. Entire year-classes of some populations may die as their nursery grounds become poisoned.

Surfer Holly Beck Swims with Sharks
Holly Beck has an enviable life. A world-class surfer and model, she spends most of the year traveling to the world's most beautiful places.
Here's one more reason to envy her -- the Oceana supporter also recently swam with whale sharks and great white sharks. Watch the video below to see footage of Beck swimming within inches of whale sharks and getting giddy when she sees great whites.
After swimming with the great whites she says, "Trust me on this one, the shark didn't want to eat me."
Coincidentally, the scientist tagging whale sharks in the first part of the video is Rachel Graham, who has worked with our colleagues in Belize.
You can take action for sharks with another blonde beauty who loves sharks, January Jones, and learn more about Holly Beck at her blog.
Fact of the Day: Whale Sharks
In honor of Shark Week, which is just a few short weeks away, my first "Fact of the Day" post will be about -- you guessed it -- sharks!
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world. These sharks grow up to 65 feet (20 meters) long and their mouths are 5 feet (1.5 meters) wide.
And here's a bonus fact: whale sharks have the thickest skin of any animal in the world at up to 4 inches thick.
Curious for more? Be sure to come back tomorrow for another exciting fact or check out Oceana.org/Explore and do some investigating on your own!

-- Winner Olympic Games 1920
Star Players:
Marc Wilmots, Emile Mpenza
Approximate Odds of Winning:
AskMen's Rating of Team:(out of 100)
Significant Strength:
An experienced defense and solid goalkeeping by Geert De Vlieger will give the rest of his teammates the motivation and belief that they have what it takes to compete with the top-ranked nations.
Significant Weakness:
Finding the connection between their midfielders and strikers will cause a problem for the team. And even when the passes do connect, putting the ball in the net will be even more difficult.
AskMen's Prediction:
Belgium is a solid and well organized counterattacking team that shouldn't have a problem hitting on their groups' weaker opponents. Getting passed into the second round won't be easy, but they are expected to finish second of Group H.

Comments On Nov 06, 2013:I was skeptical due to the price but this light is bright!!! and I expected flicker since my bike is a 2 stroke with no battery. I installed it on my 97 KDX 220 and it is 10X brighter than stock and the other aftermarket light I installed 5 years ago and no flicker or dimming. If you want lots of light on a 2 stroke this is the one to buy. It is worth the money!!!

Comments On Sep 02, 2013:I used this light on my 2012 YZ450F by tapping into my power source where the gytr tuner plugs in. Works awesome!

Comments On Aug 29, 2013:I installed this light on my rmz450 and I dont have a very powerful stator. This light draws very little power and its pretty bright. Its brighter than most stock lights and I have been very happy with it.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 16, 2013:Easy universal mount and includes extensions for additional clearance. I bought this light because i only have a 50W stator on my Rmz 450 and i needed something bright but minimal power consumption. The light does not dim at low rpm and it is much brighter than what comes stock on most trail bikes. Great on the trail because of the wide beam and low price. If you dont want to spend $400 this is the next best thing.

Comments On Mar 22, 2012:Good quality light, perfect fit on my XR650R, no complaints. The light is very white and adequate for trails and moderate speeds (I wouldn't use it racing at night) up to 40 mph I'm comfortable with the visibility, over that though I would recommend something brighter.

Former Florida, Glades Central RB Fred Taylor announces retirementby Jason Lieser
Glades Central legend Fred Taylor plans to announce his retirement from football Friday in Jacksonville. Taylor, who starred in Belle Glade and at the University of Florida before his 13-year NFL career, will sign a one-day contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars before stepping down.
"I want to thank every1 who has directly or indirectly supported my career and help shape my character," he posted on his Twitter account. "Love u all."
Jacksonville drafted Taylor ninth overall in the 1998 draft, and he played 11 seasons with the team. He is the franchise's all-time leading rusher with 11,271 yards.
His 3,075 rushing yards at Florida from 1994 through '97 ranks fourth in school history, and he is fifth in touchdown runs with 31.
In 2007, the Florida High School Athletic Association named him one of the top 100 football players in the history of the state.
