Shipping lanes into Boston moved to protect whales Moved four miles north of normal route Two whales have been hit in the last six weeks. Only about 400 North Atlantic right whales swim in the Atlantic ocean now, compared with roughly 10,000 in the 17th centuryFrom this weekend, ships entering Boston harbour have to shift their course to avoid whales. Starting Sunday, large vessels will travel roughly 6.5km north of the existing path in new lanes to avoid parts of a whale feeding sanctuary. It is the first change of US shipping lanes to protect an endangered species. The Coast Guard says electronic maps have been recalculated, navigational charts reprinted and mariners warned. Coast Guard cutters are patrolling the area to mark the new lanes with buoys in time for Sunday's shift, which adds 10 to 20 minutes of sailing. Boston, a busy port since the early 17th century, receives at least three cargo ships carrying containers, oil or liquid natural gas each day.
Bikies to be 'wiped out'
In any case, the bike-riders are NOT the cause of all the crime in the state. It is yet another typical Labor party, limp-wristed, knee-jerk reaction to make it look like they're doing something other than providing jobs for the boys! Posted by: Morgan of Brisbane 8:33am October 31, 2007 the only way you will stop organised crime - bikies or anyone - is to legalise all drugs and have them regulated the same way with alcohol. prohibition doesn't work - it didn't work with alcohol and it's not working with drugs. regulate them and take them out of the hands of the organised gangs, police, lawyers etc etc. all this bikie crackdown is a publicity stunt by the government - the police know who are involved and they prefer it that way. Posted by: lisa of adelaide of adelaide 8:15am October 31, 2007 Have a few bikie bouncers help you out from a nutter and you soon learn to appreciate them.
Dreams, bullpen stressing me out
Get the lead and turn it over. If Hampton returns, he would join that duo in an "innings watch" mode. Don't let them overdo it. Hopefully Hudson and the CHOSEN ONE/TWO will be able to pitching into the 8th and 9th frequently. But Bobby has never been slow with the hook. Sometimes not slow enough. I think Gonzalez return is a real key. Soriano isn't going to be a 40-save guy, I don't think. And in late summer, HE likely will need some relief, too. Moylan may get more oppportunities than we expect. Hopefully, this group will be surprising and successful like the group from 2002 (that was the year, right?). What a great performance with career years from so many. .
Team Party Crash: 'Radar' Third Issue Party
Nick Denton saunters up with L.A. blogger Mickey Kaus, who, in his long trench coat, looks like he desperately wants to be somebody's Deep Throat. The men start talking about Michael Kinsley and our eyes glaze over. Once they start serious discussion of whether Stuff magazine was "darker" under Greg Gutfeld's reign, we politely excuse ourselves. Also, we feel a bit weird reporting with Denton standing right there. It's a little like how we imagine it would feel to have our parents watching us have sex -- if Denton had any idea who we were. His hair is real. His love is not. With his love of karaoke and his knack for triple-fisting, we can see why NYT metro hottie Nick Confessore is a hit at these kinds of parties. Krucoff: "Si? Chuck? Let's hug it out." We don't know at what point the party turns into a blogger clusterfuck, but we're pretty sure it's around the time Andrew Krucoff shows up, minus his trusty box of "Save Krucoff" buttons.
