Ahh ... the food web. Didn't we learn about this in elementary school? Why is it news to people that removing a lead predator will have effects down the system?
Quoted: With most of the great predatory sharks -- bull, great white, dusky and hammerhead -- gone from northwest Atlantic waters, the rays and skates the sharks normally feed on had a population explosion, the scientists said in the journal Science.

1 FaverViewed: 5 TimesQuoted: The "battered and fried" section includes $5.50 catfish, $7 lingcod and albacore tuna, $4 smelt, $8 sturgeon and $9 halibut. My favorite was the sturgeon, which walloped the halibut on taste and texture. All come with fried preserved lemon, a garnish so good I could eat a full order of it. The fish comes ready to travel on two skewers with a respectable helping of cabbage slaw and a sauce.

2 FaversViewed: 5 TimesQuoted: Here's the good news: Women have become so politically powerful that even the anti-feminist right wing -- the folks with a headlock on the Republican Party -- are trying to appease the gender gap with a first-ever female vice president. We owe this to women -- and to many men too -- who have picketed, gone on hunger strikes or confronted violence at the polls so women can vote. We owe it to Shirley Chisholm, who first took the "white-male-only" sign off the White House, and to Hillary Rodham Clinton, who hung in there through ridicule and misogyny to win 18 million votes.
