I spoke with them and also conferred with CNN producers, who told me that many people have expressed strong opinions on this issue and that Sam certainly has his point and that many others may strongly disagree on these points as well. - nsaidi, CNN iReport producer http://sharkscientist.blogspot.com/2010/07/cnn-vets-sams-report-stopcorexit.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (SharkScientist)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732543849631178913.post-8171989152282029660Sat, 10 Jul 2010 19:19:00 +00002010-07-11T09:29:09.751-04:00Here is my report from the conference.

This is a video stream from that page. Google Earth also has another icon Southeast of the one for the Oil Spill with this video and a profile of an oceanographer named Sylvia Earle. Anyway, take a look at this.  It's another really good video I found there. http://sharkscientist.blogspot.com/2010/06/gulf-of-mexico-whats-at-stake.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (SharkScientist)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732543849631178913.post-1326605854185273008Fri, 25 Jun 2010 02:19:00 +00002010-07-09T06:43:31.701-04:00This isn't a personal blog.  Posts have to be either about sharks or the oceans they live in but today was my graduation from Montebello Elementary School and there was an award from the New York State Comptroller.
