White sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) are the ocean's largest predatory sharks. The occasional encounter with humans (and movie producers) has made them the most famous. Although they can grow to almost 21 feet (7 meters), the length of an average shark is closer to 15 feet (5 meters); they weigh about 1,500 pounds (700 kg). White sharks, like some other fish such as salmon sharks and tuna, are warm-bodied -- that is, parts of their bodies can be warmer than the cold water in which they swim.
In the eastern Pacific, white sharks can be found from Alaska to Mexico, but you don't often see them north of Washington State. They hang out near haul-out sites for marine mammals, their main food. People used to believe they roamed only along the California coast. But our tags show that they travel regularly from California to Hawaii. Juvenile white sharks are found in the Southern California Bight, which appears to be an important nursery ground.
The World Conservation Union lists white sharks as vulnerable. Concerns for white shark populations have led to their protection in Californian and Mexican waters. To ensure their long-term survival, we need much more information about where they go to feed and breed. The recent tagging results indicate how little is actually known about white sharks. Also, white sharks will also provide a valuable comparison to results from salmon and mako sharks that are also capable of elevating their body temperature.

Omoo here. They say I'm the meanest shark on this Planet Ocean. A no-conscience killing machine. The predators' predator.
Whoa!!! I can't help it if humans look like tasty seals. If I take a nibble, I spit them out. Ptoueeee!
And killing machine? Look who's calling the kettle black. I kill my own food. Most humans pretend their meat comes in quarter-pound discs magically created in a freezer.
Ever wonder why you don't see more of us in aquariums? I'm just too sensitive. Camera flashes. Vibration. Tanks that cramp my swim style. These things make me bump into walls, shred my nose, stop eating.
HOWEVER, at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, they've got those problems licked. They're the only place in the world that can keep us happy. Two youngsters lived there, one for 198 days in 2004/2005 and another for 137 days in 2006/2007. A third young whippersnapper is there now. Check him out!

Discussion in 'Miami Marlins' started by gizmo, Dec 5, 2013.
I stand corrected.. Apologies wild Card.. By the way I totally forgot about Ed Lucas.. lol
How can you forget about Ed Lucas? He adjusted to the league.
Lucas for Heisman!!
Who will end up being Dietrich's platoon partner if he can't hit lefties like he did this year.
Don't like this move. Furcal is a bad baseball player.
Dietrich is a power hitting 2nd baseman. At third base he's got average to below average power.
Furcal at 2B and Dietrich at 3B doesn't make this team better. With this current lineup we'd likely still be far below average offensively and may not be able to hit 100 home runs AGAIN.
I understood a stopgap at 3B. Somebody like Eric Chavez or even a Brandon Inge might've been fine. Furcal is just Juan Pierre at 2nd base. I doubt Furcal makes it to August as an everyday starter.
Furcal DOES make the team better. Does he make it great? No, but he is absolutely better than Donovan Solano, offensively and defensively.
Furcal is nothing like Pierre. He has always had decent pop.
Mark Reynolds is worth consideration for third base
No, he absolutely is not.
Furcal is here to play second base and hit second. I don't know that he will have the power that he used to but he does make solid contact, and doesn't strikeout a lot. He's always been a decent on base guy also. He is better than Solano who should only be a utility player. The obvious strategy the Marlins are employing is to try to improve the offense without giving up our young pitching. I think that is a sound strategy. I think they will do something similar at 3rb base and give Dietrich at least a half season in AAA. Some of you are never happy. You complain that the FO never has a plan or a clue, but now that they seem to have one they are still stupid.
I agree 100%, with your opinion and the Marlins strategy.
Wow. I dont know why, but i love it.
Furcal had a grand total of 26 XBH's in 477 AB's the last time he played regularly. He had even less the year before with the Dodgers.
Furcal has no power. Every player in the league has more power than Pierre, but that doesn't mean Furcal has any real power at all.
And this isn't about Solano. Solano shouldn't be starting everyday and Dietrich would've been the starting 2B without a Furcal signing (we'd find a 3B somewhere, any likely still will).
Furcal hasn't been a good player since 2010. We can't justify useless signings because our bad starting 2B (Solano) last season is SLIGHTLY worse than the bad starting 2B we just signed.
It's a dumb signing, plain and simple. It's especially dumb since we're not going to be good next year. When you suck as a team, you start your younger players and see what you have with them. THAT is how you do a rebuild.
As for the good on base thing with Furcal.
Uh...This is the part where I say you can't judge players because there past was awesome. I can say "hey, Furcal was awesome when he was younger and playing for the Dodgers/Braves" and I would be right. I'd also be right saying "hey, Furcal is 36 years old, coming off a serious injury, and hasn't been anything resembling a good player since 2010".
If Dietrich doesn't start at third after this move, I am right there with you. However if he does, this makes sense and I am for it. That's why I believe they're probably done with ML contracts, just ST invites from here on out.
I hate Dietrich as a 3rd baseman. It's in the same vein of the talk of putting Coghlan at 3B not too long ago. Put players where they are likely to thrive. Dietrich doesn't belong at 3rd base. It's stupid that Diietrich can't mature at his natural position because we have to give playing time to a 36 year old has been (sorry Furcal, but that's what you are).
A Chavez/Lucas platoon at 3rd base would have been better than Furcal at 2nd and Dietrich at 3rd. Or trading for Middlebrooks. Or Uribe, even as a last resort on a 2 year deal.
It may just be the lesser of two evils. The market for third basemen seems to be weaker than second. It may just have been a better fit, just not ideal.
Maybe Chavez doesn't want to sign here? We've probably tried like 4 times over the last 5 years.
Maybe the asking price for Middlebrooks is too high?
A 2 year deal for Uribe is even worse with Moran coming.
Michael Young > Juan Uribe.
Well, maybe not, but I'd rather sign Young. More consistent and he'd be cheaper.

South Elgin boy recovers from brain surgery and prepares for preschool
By Romi Herron For The Courier-News December 26, 2012 6:12PM
Jay and Mindy Ostrowski with their sons Jacob, 4, and Connor, who turns three in February. Connor is recovering from a rare neurological condition.
Updated: January 28, 2013 6:36AM
This is another in a series of stories on people and events that shaped our communities in 2012.
SOUTH ELGIN — When a rare neurological condition began to virtually "erase everything from his brain," Mindy and Jay Ostrowski of South Elgin grew determined to find answers for their infant son Connor.
Sometimes, he endured dozens of seizures each day — until last spring, when the couple finally found an answer to their prayers with a treatment plan that turned the little boy's life around.
"Doctors (at one point had) told us he would never smile or recognize us again," said Mindy, a fourth-grade teacher at Creekside Elementary School in Elgin.
Connor was born healthy, she explained, but seizures began when he was about 2 months old. Diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy called infantile spasms, he was put on mind-dulling, body-bloating medications, said dad Jay. The condition has a high morbidity and mental retardation rate, he added.
"It basically erases everything from the brain," Mindy said.
A lifetime of drugs with no hope for improvement wasn't acceptable to the Ostrowskis.
So when Connor's visual therapist told them about a brain surgery procedure, the couple researched and pursued the option. At Cleveland Clinic, surgeons performed Connor's procedure in March, and he's been seizure free ever since, the Ostrowskis said.
"He's far exceeded what we ever thought he would be developmentally," Mindy said in mid-December. Although by doctors' assessments "he is officially about a year to a year-and-a-half behind developmentally," she said, "Anything he does right now is a milestone for us."
In his day-to-day life, Connor's adventures now include playing ball, dressing as a superhero, and laughing alongside his older brother, Jacob, who recently turned 4. Connor adores his brother and seems particularly connected to Jacob's actions and interests. He'll turn 3 on Feb. 24 and is set to start preschool in a District U46 special education program that month.
"I know the teachers and therapists will do a great job," Mindy said. "But since day one, I've always been a part of all his therapies, learning techniques with him, etc., so I'm a little nervous now that he's going to be off on his own."
She's looking forward to the interactions and shared accomplishments he'll have with other children who face similar disabilities, she added. Jay is eager for the sense of normalcy that's bound to come with fewer doctor visits, and more progress, in 2013.
Although the family knows it's possible Connor might develop other forms of epilepsy down the road, for now they're celebrating what each new day with a curious toddler brings.
"The other day there was a tray of cheese and crackers, and Connor went up and got the cheese and crackers all on his own," said Mindy. "It might not seem like much, but to us it really is."

We are just a little more than a week away from the election and there are several bond propositions for people in Travis County to consider. Including the highly contested Proposition One.
It would increase property taxes within the health district to five cents per $100 in home valuation to build a University of Texas Medical School and an UMC Brackenridge teaching hospital.
Last week we heard from the Travis County Taxpayers Union who is against the proposition.
Texas Senator Kirk Watson, who was instrumental in getting the proposition on the ballot, speaks with KVUE News.

The Ravens are six games away from completing the 2012 regular season, and they are approaching the time when a team might consider signing its franchise quarterback to a contract extension.
So far, it hasn't happened for quarterback Joe Flacco and you have to wonder what front office members of the Ravens might be thinking.
If this season is Flacco's final case to show he deserves to be one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL, then he might have raised some doubt.

- Third-and-short issues cropped up again for Ravens
- Five Things We Learned from the Ravens' win over the Steelers
- 2013 Ravens cheerleaders [Pictures]
- Mike Preston grades the Ravens for the 2013 season
See more photos »
In home games this season Flacco has completed 115 of 173 passes for 1,612 yards, 10 touchdowns and completed 29 passes for 20 yards or more.
On the road, he has completed 91 of 168 passes for 883 yards, three touchdowns and had only 11 passes of 20 yards or more. Against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night, Flacco became a game manager again instead of taking control of the game.
He became erratic after being hit early and didn't make a big play . During the contest, you can see the frustration and doubt about another poor performance on the road.
The question is do you pay him the same money this season as New Orleans' Drew Brees ($20 million), Denver's Peyton Manning ($19.2 million), New England's Tom Brady ($18 million) and New York's Eli Manning ($16.25 million), or put him in the second tier with Philadelphia's Michael Vick ($16 million), Houston's Matt Schaub ($15.5 million), San Diego's Philip Rivers ($15.3 million), Chicago's Jay Cutler ($14.9 million) and Ben Roethlisberger ($14.6 million)?
The second tier seems more appropriate. Flacco, whose contract expires at the end of this season, can probably get a team to overpay in the free agent market. His agent will point out that he has led the team to the playoffs for four straight seasons, and there could be a fifth.
But the Ravens have to be careful. Hopefully, they can get a market deal done before this season is over.
"Joe and I have a very good understanding of his situation," said Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome of Flacco, who will make $6.76 million this season. "We are on the same page as far as his contract negotiations."
Ravens show vanilla offense in Pittsburgh
It is great that the Ravens are 8-2, but behind closed doors over at The Castle they can't be happy with an offense that was shutout against the Steelers.
The offense was pretty vanilla. Both guards, Jah Reid and Marshal Yanda, had bad games as well as center Matt Birk. Here are two suggestions for the Ravens:
Backup running back Bernard Pierce had only two carries for 8 yards in the game, but he looked better than starter Ray Rice. He runs angry. How about a few more carries?
Also, if you're going to split Rice outside as a receiver in third-and-short situations, how about keeping a runner (Pierce) in the backfield to at least have a threat of possibly running the ball?
Cornerbacks play without fear
A major difference in the play of the cornerbacks Sunday night was that both Cary Williams and Corey Graham played without fear.
They physically jammed, tugged, pushed and pulled on Steelers receivers at the line of scrimmage and turned and ran with them. That didn't happen until Graham got onto the field a couple of weeks ago.
"I thought the DB's played really well," Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said. "The corners played really well led by Cary Williams. Corey Graham came up big."
An unsung hero in the improved play of the cornerbacks has been Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin. Against Dallas and again Sunday night, he has helped the corners by telling them the routs some of the receivers would run against them.

Rather than hope to acquire the status of affluence and static commonality, sometimes we do greater service to our spirit by moving from comfort to challenging the perimeters of a "normal" existence.

Tuesday through Thursday, nightly entertainers will play 60s-era hits by Echoes, the music of Motown by Oh What a Night, Chicago Tribute Authority will play tribute to hits made famous by the band Chicago. Hotel California will belt out tunes created by The Eagles and Sonny Turner of the Platters will lend some more Motown music before Herman's Hermits hits the stage.

Justices Shield Multinational Companies in Dirty War Case
|0 Comments
This article first appeared in The National Law Journal's Supreme Court Brief.
In a case arising out of Argentina's "dirty war," the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday significantly limited the general jurisdiction of federal courts over injured victims' lawsuits against corporations doing business in the United States.
The decision, according to legal observers on both sides of the case, means that a corporation, in effect, may be sued primarily where it is incorporated or in its principal place of business. For foreign corporations operating here, they added, the decision likely means never.
Although the court did not shut the door on the possibility that general jurisdiction could be available somewhere other than the place of incorporation or principal place of business, "The burden is very high: proof of operations that are 'so substantial and of such a nature as to render the corporation at home in that State' and that are much more significant than the corporation's operations in other states or countries," said Andrew Pincus of Mayer Brown, amicus counsel on behalf of foreign banks supporting Daimler A.G.
The justices unanimously ruled in Daimler v. Bauman that Daimler, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, may not be sued in California, where its Mercedes-Benz USA subsidiary operates, by Argentine victims of alleged human rights violations in Argentina 30 years ago.
The victims alleged that a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler—Mercedes-Benz Argentina—collaborated with state security forces during the "dirty war" in Argentina in the 1970s and 1980s. Under the country's military dictatorship, thousands of Argentines disappeared or were kidnapped, tortured or killed, among them the plaintiffs or their relatives.
The federal district court dismissed their lawsuit for lack of jurisdiction. However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed, holding that Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) was Daimler's "agent" for jurisdictional purposes and the court attributed the MBUSA's California contacts to Daimler.
Writing for the high court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said that in deciding Goodyear Dunlop Tires v. Brown in 2011, the justices examined whether foreign subsidiaries of a U.S. parent corporation could be sued in state court for claims unrelated to any activity of the subsidiaries in the forum state. That case stemmed from a bus accident outside of Paris that killed two boys from North Carolina. The boys' parents sued in North Carolina and alleged that the bus' tire was defectively manufactured. A small percentage of tires manufactured by Goodyear's foreign subsidiaries were distributed in North Carolina.
The Goodyear decision, she said, held that a court may assert general jurisdiction over a foreign corporation only when the corporation's contacts with the state in which the suit is brought are so constant and pervasive "as to render it essentially at home in the forum state."
Instructed by Goodyear, she said, Daimler was not "at home" in California. "Here, neither Daimler nor MBUSA is incorporated in California, nor does either entity have its principal place of business there," she wrote. "If Daimler's California activities sufficed to allow adjudication of this Argentina-rooted case in California, the same global reach would presumably be available in every other State in which MBUSA's sales are sizable."

Summary of Slow Man Summary of Slow Man Reviews for Slow Man An Excerpt from Slow Man
"Beautifully composed, deeply thought, wonderfully written." -The New York Times Book Review
J. M. Coetzee , one of the greatest living writers in the English language, has crafted a deeply moving tale of love and mortality in his new book, Slow Man. When photographer Paul Rayment loses his leg in a bicycle accident, he is forced to reexamine how he has lived his life. Through Paul's story, Coetzee addresses questions that define us all: What does it mean to do good? What in our lives is ultimately meaningful? How do we define the place we call "home"? In his clear and uncompromising voice, Coetzee struggles with these issues and offers a story that will dazzle the reader on every page.[Coetzee] has found a new access of warmth and humor, and displays a vivifying fondness for his characters.

Snap reaction to the Obama jobs speech: Infrastructure bank?
Nothing too deep dish here. That can wait. But just quickly, President Obama did dangle a big carrot in front of Southern California voters with his $447-billion jobs plan: infrastructure. The Big "I." That's roads, bridges, airport improvements — and also schools, which Obama emphasized in particular. I suppose I could include energy infrastructure with that, which matters a lot at this very moment to San Deigo, where reportedly a million people have lost power.
What was unclear from the President's speech is whether his bill will call for an infrastructure bank. It sounds to me like it will go beyond just transportation, exceeding a $6-billion-over-six-years outlay that the GOP transport bill already includes, getting closer to the $30-billion I-Bank Obama has talked up before and that I've both blogged and discussed.

I won't count Death and Rebirth as a remake since it's just a compilation of old/original series.
I was kidding, lul. It's been remade twice already, three times if you count the "death and rebirth" recap movie.
While I'm here, through, a new (longer) series of Blue Submarine No.6 would be excellent too. Or Generator Gawl. ʘ‿ʘ
I won't count Death and Rebirth as a remake since it's just a compilation of old/original series.
Eva just doesn't need any more than it already has...My brain has melted more than once already trying to figure out wtf is going on. Plus poor Auska.
One thing I hate from EVA is the symbolism. Some people love it though...
i want a remake of the anime BECK..i want it to see it again with different songs.
What a remake of Beck needs:
-Better singer.
-Better animation (beck animation was awful).
-More Beat Crusaders.
-Extension of everything that happened in the manga.
Even so I don't need a remake because the manga was great enough for me.
I don't want a remake for beck, i want a continuation... too bad beat crusaders have already broke-up.
anyway animes i want a continuation or remake for (in order of wantness):
-Groove Adventure Rave
-Rorouni Kenshin (looks like this one has something planned for it already)
-Kino no Tabi
MOSHIDORA.... i want a second season and with lots lots lots of love.
And Skip beat.... im tired of reading ti it was cool and think it shoulve gotten further... and probably some other ones but cant remember the name ;D
I'd like to see a new Lupin III TV series, I hate having to wait around for a new TV special every year.
Well I always wanted a remake of Tenjho Tenge....The original series really wasn't that great...though it did make me like read the manga but animation, voice acting(dub version) wasn't that memorable(especially Wendee Lee, that woman puts herself in everything)...so yeah and Berserk, but they're doing that now.......

The high winds caused some big problems for some people in Camden County.
The storm came in as fast as it rolled out, leaving behind a major mess outside Tim pack's house on Second Avenue.
"I was like oh my goodness that's my friends car and he's in working on my house," Pack said.
He is Tim McCarthy, and his 1994 gold Honda Accord meant a job. Now without a car, he's out of work.
"I'm destroyed," McCarthy said. "It broke my heart"
McCarthy is an unemployed carpenter picking up odd jobs to make ends meet. 3 weeks ago, down on his luck, a friend gave him the car to get around from job to job. The car is now completely destroyed.
"He gave it to me on the promise that I would help him around his house in an effort to pay him off. Now I still have to pay him off and I have no car," McCarthy said.
It just so happens, McCarthy's Honda was the only one parked on the block. The only one damage when two huge tree branches came crashing down during the brief afternoon storm.
He had no insurance which means McCarthy most likely won't be able to work.
"I'm also facing eviction at the place that I'm staying. I going to happen I'm going to be out on the streets it's going to make me homeless," McCarthy said.
McCarthy told us his car is a total loss, but he wasn't the only one having problems.
Governor Chris Christie had to cancel two scheduled events today because of hazardous travel conditions.
All of the roads that were closed earlier because of flooding have re-opened.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Great idea! But why not pass a law requiring them to stay in school until they're, say, 26? We're
setting the bar way too low here.
By LogicalOne on 01-24-13 @ 10:54 am
If you can't drop out of fourth grade by the time you are 16, you are too dumb to drop out at 18.

Research has proven that normal maturation and brain development continues well into the mid
20's. If we don't have high expectations for them then who will? Not the parents of kids who
are contemplating dropping out.

"If we don't have high expectations for them then who will?"
That's the theory behind laws prohibiting abortion. But who cares if little Suzy gives birth at 15 as
long as progressives can pat themselves on the back for forcing everyone to spend two more years
bored to tears in class to make sure funding for their indoctrination centers doesn't decrease.

I don't mean to short sell the public education system. They do the best they can. Of course any
disinterested observer would note that they have a Marxist slant, but that's something we live with.
However, what I see happening in the public education system nationwide seems to be a death-grip
like myopia. As our education rankings drop and our national tailspin continues, we tighten our grip
on the last things we think make us Good. In the educational system, this grip has evidenced
itself by an ascendancy of factors such as graduation numbers (doctored nationwide through
lowered standards), new schools, highly paid top-heavy administrations, and the like. This wouldn't
be so troublesome if the student didn't appear to be getting lost in the mix.
We hear from the schools constantly about outdated equipment or old textbooks. Maybe our
thinking about schools is outdated. Instead of continuing to tighten on our death grip on some of
the last vestiges of America's Golden Age, perhaps we ought to loosen it, let it breathe, and find
ways to support non-Government involved alternatives.

George Washington, Andrew Jackson and Ab Lincoln never graduated from High School. Seems that
they were socially balanced and turned out quite successful!
By Mark W. on 01-26-13 @ 10:38 pm
I guess it shouldn't surprise me that we caring adults consider it more important at this point in
history for the law to reflect higher expectations for algebra than for mating. Even though lifelong
earning potential and general coping as a youngster would favor that the latter have greater legal
gravity. We'll have a book of regulations over Sandy Hook as thick as an arm to save "just one
child." But when it comes to other actions that can change a child's life forever our expectations
reflected in the law are the equivalent of "eh, whatever."
This is not going to end well.

My fiance and Iwent back and forth for weeks trying to decide whether to use an engagement photo or pick a design with no picture.

5 stars plus!
Carved in Love - Autumn Save the Date Magnets I did a lot of research and went to a lot of places before I ordered my save the dates. I wanted magnets and have never heard of this company before. I saw some reviews and decided to give them a try. They exceeded my expectations. The online tool to create them was great I added everything I needed on them at no extra c. Charge. They came so quickly and exactly when they said they would be here. They looked exactly how I created them colors were dead on. And they were delivered in a beautiful box. Highly recommended
