Wonder what a 330 lb. Giant Tuna looks like? Of course you do!
2009-11-13 23:55:00 This weekend, the midwest's largest Japanese supermarket will be putting on a heck of a show. The Mitsuwa Market in Arlington Heights will be carving up a 330 pound Giant Tuna, caught fresh off the coast of Spain. You can be there in person as one of two of the massive beasts is sliced and diced into fresh sashimi. I spoke with Masato Takai, the store's manager. He told me they were hoping for a 400 pound fish, but these two will do. The fish are so large they had to be transported into the store using a fork lift, and they'll need special tools to slice them up....

Discover giant man-eating bird in World
2009-09-14 16:44:00 A massive man-eating bird of prey from ancient Maori legend really did exist, according to new research.Scientists have known about the existence of Haast's eagle for over a century based on excavated bones, but the behaviour of these giant birds was not clear.As the eagles weighed up to 40 lbs some scientists presumed they were scavengers rather than the predators from mythology.Scientists used computerised CT scans to reconstruct the Haast's eagle from a fossil of its skullBut a new study has revealed the eagle as a fearsome predator that probably swooped on flightless birds and even children from a high mountain perch.Researchers Paul Scofield of the Canterbury Museum in New Zealand and Ken Ashwell of the University of New South Wales used computerised CT and CAT scans to reconstruct the size of the brain, eyes, ears and spinal cord of this ancient eagle.This data was compared to values from modern predatory and scavenging birds to determine the habits of the extinct eagle.Prof...

Wal-Mart (WMT): A 'giant without peer'
2009-08-07 14:00:00 "Wal Mart (NYSE: WMT), the world’s largest retailer, with $405 billion in revenues last year, has remained remarkably strong during the recession even as other retailers have floundered," says Stephen Leeb.In his The Complete Investor, he explains, " Its low prices have lured more customers, while its product line-up emphasizes items seldom cut from consumer budgets, such as food and health care products." Here's his review."Its Wal-Mart stores draw an estimated 100 million people a week, explaining why the company dominates the U.S. supermarket industry, with a better than 25% market share. The company also sells under numerous other names, including Sam’s Club."The key to Wal-Mart’s success is its ability to keep costs and prices low, which in turn stems from its massive size: as far and away the most important customer for many of its suppliers, it wields tremendous bargaining power."Its heavy reliance on cheap Chinese...

One Small Step for Iowa: One Giant Step for Amerikind
2009-04-04 22:25:00 Corn and great basketball teams. Caucuses and severe winters. And now, the right for all legal-aged couples who are not related to each other to get married, if they so desire.My sister, who lives in Iowa, reports there are more than 1,000 privileges that married people get that she and her partner could not get?until now. Until April 24, to be exact, when she and her partner, who have been together for at least a decade, will have their union sanctioned by the state. Luckily, my sister's employer is savvy enough to have provided domestic partner health care, which has to be one of the biggies on the list of 1,000 married couple privileges.Iowa is now only the third state to make this move. The Iowa Supreme Court hammered the nail in the coffin of the haters this past Friday with a ruling that overturned the gay-marriage ban. Now listen up, California Supreme Court. If ever there were a state that needs gay marriage it is California. I feel certain the people would prefer gay marri...

"Deriving" A Lesson From Greenspan's Giant Goof
2009-03-11 21:10:00 (And by the way, I also posted here.)To the pages of the Murdoch Street Journal we go for an opinion column today by former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, who tells us the following about our current economic crisis (I believe ?The Great Recession? is the catchphrase currently being trial-tested by our corporate media, though I can see absolutely nothing ?great? about it).(By the way, since I am hardly an economist, this post will contain primarily extended excerpts from more knowledgeable individuals in that subject than your humble narrator ? I think they can make my case much better than I can).For now, though, here is what Greenspan said in the Journal today?There are at least two broad and competing explanations of the origins of this crisis. The first is that the "easy money" policies of the Federal Reserve produced the U.S. housing bubble that is at the core of today's financial mess.The second, and far more credible, explanation agrees that it was indeed lower int... |
