Baseball's Marlins, Giants under investigation for federal wage violations
Two Major League Baseball clubs – the San Francisco Giants and Miami Marlins – are under investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor for possible federal wage law violations. The investigations come amid wider concern about questionable pay practices throughout professional baseball, according to interviews and records obtained by FairWarning under the Freedom of Information Act.
Labor Department spokesman Jason Surbey confirmed the investigations of the Marlins and the Giants but would not give details. However, emails reviewed by FairWarning show that possible improper use of unpaid interns is a focus of the Giants probe. It is the Labor Department's second recent investigation of the Giants over pay practices involving lower-level employees.
An attorney for the Giants said the team would not comment on the current investigation. A Marlins spokesman said the club does not believe "that any of the Marlins' current labor practices are improper. . . . We can confirm that the Marlins have been and will continue to cooperate fully with the Department of Labor." Major League Baseball officials could not be reached.
Officials with the department's Wage and Hour Division announced in August that the Giants had resolved the prior case by agreeing to pay $544,715 in back wages and damages to 74 employees. Many were clubhouse workers the agency said were paid at a daily rate of $55 but who sometimes worked so many hours that they got less than minimum wage and no overtime. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.
In announcing the settlement, Susana Blanco, director of the San Francisco district office of the Wage and Hour Division, said she was "encouraged that the Giants acted to resolve this issue" but disappointed "to learn that clubhouse workers providing services to high-paid sports stars weren't making enough to meet the basic requirements of minimum-wage law."
The Giants also were found to have improperly classified some workers as exempt from overtime pay, including clubhouse managers and video operators at both the parent team and its minor league affiliates.
The Giants in June also reached a $500,000 settlement in a private class action suit on behalf of security guards, who had claimed they were owed back pay for overtime and for working through breaks and meals.
According to a Sept.12 memo from the baseball commissioner's office to presidents of the 30 Major League clubs, the Labor Department concluded from the first Giants investigation that questionable pay practices "are endemic to our industry." Following a series of discussions and emails between the Wage and Hour Division and baseball officials, the league office summoned representatives of all Major League clubs to attend a meeting with labor officials in Orlando, Fla., next month.
The meeting was scheduled after the agency urged the commissioner's office to take action on what an email described as the "catalog of issues" raised by the Giants case. The issues included improperly exempting certain employees from overtime pay and paying daily rates that might fall short of the minimum wage depending on the number of hours worked.
Another issue was unpaid interns. This "was not part of the completed investigation" of the Giants, an email said, "but . . . has subsequently been raised."
Unpaid internships, which are especially prevalent in industries such as entertainment, media and professional sports, have generated growing controversy and some successful private litigation. According to Labor Department guidelines, unpaid internships are proper only when designed for the education of the interns, and not to benefit the employer or displace regular workers.
Major League Baseball does not control employment practices of individual clubs. But since the Giants case, the Wage and Hour Division has leaned on the commissioner's office to help bring teams into compliance. Much of the contact has been between George Ference, Wage and Hour's regional administrator in Philadelphia – the nearest regional office to the baseball commissioner in New York – and Rob Manfred, chief operating officer for the league.
An Aug. 8 email from Ference asked Manfred about "the specific steps that MLB plans to take" to ensure "compliance with issues uncovered in the Wage Hour investigation of the San Francisco Giants." In a follow-up email on Aug. 12, Ference wrote: "What I need to be able to do is explain . . . exactly how we are working collaboratively to ensure that other franchises are moving toward compliance."
Ultimately, they scheduled a presentation by Labor Department officials during next month's meetings of baseball owners and general managers in Orlando.
"Each club must send at least one representative to the DOL presentation," said the memo from Manfred and Dan Halem, MLB's senior vice president and general counsel. "In the interim," the memo said, "we strongly suggest that each club consult with its employment counsel . . . to ensure compliance."

To paraphrase A E Housman, I don't choose the right words, I just take out the wrong ones. All communication is about telling a story, regardless of whether it's a fictional or factual one. But no-one will sit up and take notice of your story if it is badly executed. That's where I come in. I will work with you to ensure that your story, by which I mean your book, your essay, your article or your business plan, has the impact that you want it to have. Good and effective writing fulfills the following criteria: Is powerful and pleasurable to read Is focused Is well directed Has a structure which is easy to follow Uses elegant and memorable language Has a smooth narrative flow Contains proper spellings, grammar and punctuation. My editing service is sub-divided into three different categories. Proofreading Proofreading is about the technical aspects of writing, i.e. spelling, punctuation and basic grammar. It is really a cosmetic process only. If you are confident that your writing is good and engaging, then proofreading is really just a final stage of catching and eliminating these surface errors. Copy Editing Copy editing is a deeper level of editing. I will ensure that spelling, grammar and punctuation are correct but also ensure that there are no inconsistencies and checking structure, style and flow. This may involve re-working some of the text and changes to the structure to ensure that the writing is focused, powerful and pleasurable to read. Content Editing This is a much deeper and more intensive process, involving not just corrections but possibly adding things that appear to have been omitted or which need to be added for sense, style and flow. It may involve re-writing some sections of text or deleting other where they are superfluous, repetitious or boring.

SATELLITE BEACH, Fla. - Carey Cooper snored for as long as his family can remember, a symptom of his sleep apnea, which can be a dangerous condition.
After having surgery to alleviate it, it turned out neither the condition nor the surgery was as dangerous as the narcotic patch his surgeon would prescribe for him to relieve postoperative pain.
According to a lawsuit filed by his survivors, the Duragesic patch, designed to release the narcotic fentanyl through the skin, killed him.
The mechanical engineer, who worked in the space program for United Launch Alliance, was 50.
"It wrecked us," said his eldest son Aaron, 33. "There are four kids who are orphans and my youngest brother was 10 when his father died in 2007." Their mother died not long afterwards.
"It's obviously just a whole that can never be filled," said his daughter, Crystal, now 30. "It just sort of taints everything, even the good things he's missing."
The manufacturer of the patch, and the CVS pharmacy that distributed it to Cooper reached confidential settlements, but lawyers for his surgeon, Dr. Michael Widick, continued to defend the lawsuit.
The trial was set to begin this month, but Dr. Widick agreed to a $375,000 settlement in December 2012, more than five years after Cooper died.
None of the defendants admitted fault for the death, but makers of Fentanyl patches have been slapped with multimillion dollar verdicts because juries found they were defective and deadly.
After being recalled, the patches were redesigned and are back on the market, presumably now safe and effective.
Repeated attempts for comment from Johnson & Johnson, the parent company of patch makers, were unsuccessful.
In an email, Widick told Local 6, "In 2007 manufacturing defects associated with the Duragesic patch were not publicized within our medical community. It is now known that manufacturing defects can cause the patch to deliver a larger than intended dose of narcotic."
The lawsuit notes the patch comes with a warning that it should not be used for postoperative pain or on patients who have not been on opiate pain killers for some time. Cooper fit both criteria for not being given the patch.
"I thought it was insane," said family attorney Chris Shakib. "Someone goes for a pretty routine surgery and expects to come out okay. They certainly don't expect it to be the last thing they do."
Putting on the Fentanyl patch and going to sleep with it was the last thing Carey Cooper did.
After his surgery on Aug. 15, 2007, at Cape Canaveral Hospital, Cooper was sent home with pain killers, but he could not keep them down, so Widick prescribed the Duragesic patch.
"I based that on his pain, the amount of pain medicine he's had and on a schedule of using progressively stronger pain medication," Widick said in a 2010 deposition.
Asked in the deposition if he would prescribe the patch again, Widick grew emotional saying, "I can't really reconcile what happened to Mr. Cooper just based on the dosage I gave him, so I'm not comfortable using this medication anymore."
As they cope with life without their dad, the Coopers wonder what they could have done to avoid the death.
Crystal said she wishes she would have forcefully questioned and resisted taking the prescription when she picked it up at the CVS pharmacy in Cocoa Beach on Aug. 16, 2007.
"I had some doubts. I had some gut feelings," Crystal said. "I trusted the doctor to know more than my gut feeling."
Added Shakib; "Unfortunately, we should be able to rely on our doctors knowing what they are doing. We're not medical professionals. They are, but, unfortunately we have to question everything."

On India visit, US official offers support to wildlife law enforcement
Posted on 29 January 2013
US Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and Environment Robert D. Hormats today pledged support for governments combating crisis levels of poaching and illicit trafficking in wildlife products.US Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and Environment Robert D. Hormats today pledged support for governments combating crisis levels of poaching and illicit trafficking in wildlife products.
Illegal wildlife trade is estimated at up to US $20 billion annually, and is among the largest sources of illegal trade. Increased firepower and ruthless tactics on the part of the poachers jeopardize security, stability and the rule of law in countries across the globe. Beyond moral and environmental implications, large scale poaching threatens the livelihoods and economic opportunities of local communities.
Hormats addressed government officials, NGOs, wildlife lawyers and enforcement officials in India at an event organized by the US embassy, TRAFFIC and WWF highlighting the challenges and successes in combating wildlife trafficking. India's state of Assam already has lost nine rhinos to poachers in 2013.
He emphasized the need for high-level political will, public outreach, and greater international co-ordination and co-operation to combat wildlife trafficking, including the strengthening of regional enforcement networks such as the South Asia Wildlife Enforcement Network (SAWEN).
WWF-India Secretary General and CEO Singh noted the intimate link between the decline of India's wildlife species and alarming trends in illegal wildlife trafficking. "It is imperative that issues of illegal wildlife trade should be taken up in a strategic manner, linking national agencies and senior government executives. Here, the US government can be an important partner on global wildlife intelligence, networking and sharing of best practices in enforcement."
Dr Shekhar Kumar Niraj, Head of TRAFFIC in India highlighted the magnitude of wildlife crime and illegal wildlife trade, and how it has evolved to be one of the most important challenges in conservation of species today. He said: "Whether at the local, regional or global level, the efforts to eliminate wildlife crimes need to be assisted collectively with our trained skills, scientific knowledge, and improved resources.
The US and India have worked together on wildlife conservation for over 25 years to combat poaching, manage wildlife resources, improve enforcement capacity, and reduce consumer demand for illegal wildlife products.
TRAFFIC's work supporting the implementation of SAWEN objectives, through working with the Secretariat and member countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) is supported by funding from the US Department of State.

As a semi-vocal atheist I tend to post links, articles and stories about some of the horrible things that happen in religious circles to a variety of online social sites. On those sites I have contact with both believers and non-believers. Most of the time the discussion around the posts is quite interesting and in many ways positive, but not all of the time.
One of the most frequent comments that I get from believers who are attempting to defend their religion is:
Those people [in said article/story] are not true <Catholics/Christians/Muslims/etc>. Those of us who are would never do <horrendous act in the name of said religion/deity>.
I think ...
I would like to make clear my reasons for these views in the hope that believers will start being more vocal and actively speaking out against people who are part of the same religion.
Despite your claim, you are in fact no different to those people you are attempting to distance yourself from. It is simply not a sound enough argument to say that those in your church are not of the same mould. From the perspective of the outsider you are all the same. I believe that this perception is spot on. You are the same, the only difference between you is that one chooses to be more extreme in their interpretation of the religious doctrine, while the other does not. This is not a big enough difference to allow for a complete separation.
It's still the same religion. The same doctrine. The same bullshit. Just because you don't (yet) follow it and live it to the same extent as the extremists it doesn't mean you get a free ticket to non-scrutiny. Nor does it mean that your religion is good, true or should be taken seriously by those of us who don't share your belief. It's not a get-out-jail-free card. If you took this stance and applied it to something outside of religion, you'd come to the same conclusion.
Passively separating yourself from your follow believers by stating they're different to you doesn't do you or your religion any favours. If anything, implying that your religion isn't united makes it even more difficult to take seriously.
Believers who associate themselves with religions -- particularly those often known to be bigoted and violent -- hardly ever speak up about it. People all over the world suffer unmentionable horror as a result of extremists pursuing their religious views, yet a large percentage of those associated with that religion remain silent. They don't speak out against it. They don't publicly denounce it. They avoid talking about it. They let it lie despite knowing that other people are doing awful things in the name of their faith. They keep their heads firmly in the sand. The only time any form of derision is directed towards these actions is when someone else (usually a non-believer) indicates some form of distaste in a public forum, resulting in the believers turning defensive.
To those believers I say this is simply not good enough. It is clear that your reaction is due to you feeling embarrassed at the association and that you have kicked into damage-control mode. If you don't agree with what is being done in the name of your very own religion then stand up and do something about it. Those of you who follow the same faith are in a much stronger position to prevent the extremists than those of different faiths, let alone those with no faith at all. Sitting idle and letting this kind of behaviour continue does nothing to further the position of religion (quite the opposite in fact) and only serves to make you and people like you appear as apathetic morons with no moral grounding. It's yet another example of you choosing the parts of your religion that you're willing to live by, and ignoring those that are actually important.
If I were to hear of or see a non-believer or agnostic performing any act that I consider to be immoral I would not sit quietly and watch things unfold. I would not dismiss the issue by stating "that person isn't a true atheist". I would be actively denouncing their actions. I would be posting publicly at the shame that I would feel that someone who is a free-thinker could act in such a manner. I would do this immediately after finding out about it. I certainly wouldn't wait for a religious zealot to attack atheism before I took action. I would make a point that the actions of the individual are not inline with my moral views and that I stand behind anyone who denounces the acts as well.
Just because you live your life as a religious serf it doesn't mean you should also be a serf to others who share your beliefs. Stop hiding behind your religious shroud. Stand up and be heard. Demonstrate to people that you refuse to condone these actions.
If enough of you do it, who knows what kind of impact it could have? Your brethren may even listen ...

What you have wrote here is right on the money and I agree with your views. I think Islam is the biggest problem in the world though. We dont see Catholic nutters walking into malls packing bombs because they're 'going to a better place'. Its a different kind of madness. Its the idiocy of religious beliefs that are stopping this planet from achieving immense and ground breaking discoveries. Laugh as you will, but think how many Starship Enterprises could have been built from all those aircraft carriers that fuck off around the world blowing shit up. Look how far science has progressed in just the last ten years! Its a messed up world man, and I hate to say it, its not gonna change while were still walking on this planet.
The illustrated "cop out" is a clear demonstration of the no true Scotsman fallacy
But I doubt this pushy holier than thou approach will get you anywhere other than what you've already seen. And it depends on the specificities of the claim in question, but on the face of it, it seems rather shaky too.
Albert, could you clarify your point a little further for me please? Assuming that my claim is that I feel religious folk are in a better position to stop the extreme behaviour than the non-religious and, if not for the sake of religion then for the sake of other people, make a stand to denounce the behaviour, what exactly is shaky about it?
I agree with you that it would be good and much more effective for (moderate) religious people to criticize the fundamentalist crazies. In fact I agree with you that this goes for any group as you have illustrated. In general in-group criticism is more effective than out-group criticism to achieve change.
But where the first sign of shakiness comes in is in the contradiction, that you then from the outside, not belonging to this group of religious moderates, should reproach or express your out-group reprehension of other people's in-group behavior. This is more likely to achieve the exact opposite, either going into outright denial mode, or an incentive for redefining group identity (causing the invention of creative no true Scotsman's.) I suspect the efficacy of your exhortation would diminish even further with increasing assertiveness.
The bigger shakiness comes in with the particulars of the claim, so in general it is difficult to pin it down, but oftentimes, in the real world people's behavior are not uniquely defined in terms of religious conviction. There are other aspects to it, that may not be shared even within the larger in-group. So if you define the reprehensible actions in terms of religion solely, then they although they might agree with you on the reprehensibility of the actions, do not agree with you on the defining incentive. Guess what happens when you exhort them to distance themselves from the reprehensible action. They are likely to take it as an unfair, decontextualized attack on the religion and perhaps even inclined to excuse or try some way to trivialize it.
Religious groups are not stellar when it comes to policing themselves. Case in point- the blind eyes of the Catholic bishops, cardinals, and pope to their subordinates pedophilia over the course of, what, a hundred years or more. Ah, the grandeur of piety.
Albert was correct that they invoke the no true scotsman fallacy as their out. There's much less effort involved than actually confronting those who violate their rules and regulations.
Thanks for clarifying. While I can agree that criticism from me on this issue while trying to get religious folk to be critical of their might seem like a contradiction, I still think it's a valid thing to point. Without any influence the believers will rarely (if ever) take a stance by themselves and do something about the insidious behaviour that we see all the time.
The latter part of your point feels like over-complication to me, but that could be just down to the fact that I don't fully understand what you're saying (for that I apologise). I think the point is much simpler than you make it out to be.
While the article is targeted at the religious, the point really applies to any group of any kind.
Thank you again for taking the time to respond :) I appreciate the opportunity to be educated. I hadn't even heard of the "no true Scotsman fallacy" before.
I agree. The latest story of the paedophile investigator being jailed for child porn offenses is another great example. So far I haven't heard or seen anything from anyone of the Catholic faith about how disgusted they are about this. I have seen someone say "No Catholic would do that", what a surprise.
I would like to address Rich's comment at the top of the list. Please consider Northern Ireland. The bombings have slacked off lately, but for several decades last century, you had almost exactly that : Catholic nutters walking into malls packing bombs because they're 'going to a better place'.
Today it's the Islamists, next year, maybe the radical Buddhists will be on the warpath. (Oh yeah, weren't they making trouble in Peru? Or is the Shining Path more a Chinese-Marxist group?) Then the Xtians can have another turn.
I see the problem less as one of a particular faith, then as one in which every faith is culpable. Belief in a higher power enables people to do horrible evil in the name of "the greater good." It really needs to stop.

BEIJING (Caixin Online) — When a high-profile, billion dollar deal for a stake in a Chinese insurer was inked in early December, officials at the country's biggest policy bank were asking one question seemly unrelated to the transaction:
Who is Xiao Jianhua?
The answer to that question eventually sank China Development Bank's (CDB) planned 44 billion Hong Kong dollar ($5.64 billion) USDHKD, -0.0102% loan to help Thailand's Charoen Pokphand Group (CP) buy 15.57% of Ping An Insurance Co. PNGAY, -1.71% 2318, +0.54%
Caixin is a Beijing-based media group dedicated to providing high-quality and authoritative financial and business news and information through periodicals, online and TV/video programs.
• Get the Caixin e-newsletter
The mysterious Xiao, a mainland Chinese financier, gave CP part of the cash for the first payment in the deal by tapping three municipal commercial banks in northern China with whom he enjoys close ties.
However, a rule made by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) in effect since 2010 bars the use of bank loans and other non-proprietary capital to acquire a stake in an insurance company. The rules also say neither an individual nor an institution can serve as a trustee holder of an equity stake in a Chinese insurance company.
Xiao's maneuvering put in question the legality of the deal and prompted CDB to cancel the loan in December. After the policy bank's decision was published by Caixin on Jan. 8, the stock prices of Ping An dropped by 3.73% on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and 4% on the Hong Kong bourse.
CDB's move left CP with no choice but to scramble for new financing, raising worries that it would not have enough time to salvage the deal under the Feb. 1 deadline set by CIRC. However, CP said it could get enough funds from branches in 15 countries.
Meanwhile, the seller, London-based bank HSBC 5, +0.23% US:HBC issued only a short statement at the request of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Jan. 10 that said it had nothing to add to its December announcement that it was canceling the loan.
CDB's red flag
Two documents issued by Ping An in December revealed CDB's role change in helping CP finance the deal totaling $9.4 billion, or HK$72.7 billion.
Two days after Ping An announced the CP-HSBC deal, the insurer issued a report explaining the change to investors. The report said that the first payment of HK$15.2 billion for a 3.5% stake had been paid.
A second tranche, for a stake of more than 12%, was to be financed by cash and loans from CDB's Hong Kong branch and needed approval from CIRC.
But soon after the deal was announced, investors in Beijing began to say that part of the money for the first tranche came from Xiao. The top management at CDB asked about Xiao's background and quickly called off the loans.
The bank's headquarters in Beijing issued a risk warning to its Hong Kong office, and reported to CIRC.
Xiao is a 42-year-old native of Shandong Province whose company, Tomorrow Holdings, controls several public companies and a number of financial institutions, including banks, securities firms and trust companies. Caixin published a report on Dec. 24 that said that banks in three cities were ordered by Xiao to wire money for the first part of the of CP-HSBC deal.
Tse Ping, vice chairman of CP group, said on Dec. 25 that he knew Xiao, but Xiao was rejected after showing interest in being part of the deal. Tse also said the company still hoped to receive loans from CDB.
A report issued by Ping An on Dec. 31 on changes to its equity structure no longer mentioned loans from CDB's Hong Kong branch. Instead, the report said that four subsidiaries of CP would use their own money to buy the stake in Ping An.
The planned loans to CP were a significant amount to CDB's Hong Kong branch, which had outstanding loans of HK$300 billion in 2012. Established in 2009, the branch has extended one-sixth of CDB's total foreign-currency-denominated loans.
CDB summoned the chief of Hong Kong branch, Liu Hao, a strong supporter of the deal, to Beijing to explain the matter in writing. The 40-year-old Liu resumed his post Jan. 7 after the trip, but the incident might limit his chances at promotion.
An investigation by CDB found problems with the procedure used to agree to make the loans to CP loans. It said the Hong Kong system wasn't well connected to headquarters, but corruption was not involved.
CP is no stranger to CDB. The Thai company, which focuses on agriculture, retail and telecoms, enjoyed more than 100 billion yuan ($16.1 billion) USDCNY, +0.0189% in credit from CDB for its agribusiness. CP's vice chairman, Tse, said the company did not tap the line of credit before it expired in February 2012.
Scrambling for financing
In the fall of 2012, HSBC talked with several potential buyers as it planned to unload its stake in Ping An. Singapore's sovereign fund, Temasek Holdings, asked for a 50% discount on the market price. However, CP offered a small premium over Ping An's share price in Hong Kong, which is more than 15% higher than Ping An's share price in Shanghai.
HSBC chose the higher bid, and hastily signed the deal without performing due diligence.

"We agreed to sell to CP mainly because our lawyers reviewed its loan agreement with CDB," a source from HSBC said.
In September, CP set up four branches in the British Virgin Island as vehicles to purchase part of Ping An. Together they had a mere $200,000 in registered capital.
However, Ping An's Dec. 31 report said the CP subsidiaries now had $10.5 billion, more than the required $9.4 billion for the deal.
However, it was difficult to verify the validity of the registered capital. In China, registered capital would be checked by the government by looking at the company's bank account. But under BVI supervision, a company doesn't need to disclose the information and the government won't verify it.
CP Group had total income in 2011 of $546 million and total assets of $6.2 billion. This puts into question the source of the more than $10 billion in capital claimed by the four subsidiaries.
Tse said CP Group can move funds from branches in 15 countries, and many banks had expressed interest in financing the deal.
Brokerage and investment research firm CLSA said the troubled deal may eventually force HSBC to look for another buyer.
Deutsche Bank said in a report that CP would seek financing through other means and also try to clear up doubts about its acquisition. It added that the proposed transaction had only a limited impact on Ping An's fundamentals and the decline of the insurer's share prices wouldn't last.

Our findings show that short-term changes have an immediate effect on the rhythms of eating. Over time, these changes lead to an increase in body weight.
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) December 12, 2012
The Project for Natural Health Choices Inc. advises to watch when you eat as this was proven to cause weight gain according to some recent research that was conducted at the University of Pennsylvania and published in Nature Medicine.
The research conducted had mice for its sample. Researchers discovered that the mice became obese even without any increased caloric intake if they ate at irregular times. The team noted that these findings were similar to that of the humans who have night-eating conditions.
The researchers hypothesized that the reason for obesity is the molecular clock of the body. The scientists discovered that when hunger pangs are ignored, the hypothalamus rhythmic pattern becomes interrupted which can affect the way the metabolism functions.
According to researcher Garret FitzGerald, MD, FRS, "Our findings show that short-term changes have an immediate effect on the rhythms of eating. Over time, these changes lead to an increase in body weight."
The scientists say that because of the body's physiological mechanisms it is just as important to maintain regular eating patterns as it is to contain caloric intake.
This release has been sponsored by the Project for Natural Health Choices Inc., a natural health company that wants to help people improve their health through natural methods such as natural dietary supplements, exercise, and other natural therapies. To learn more about the Project for Natural Health Choices Inc. and "The Bill of American Health Rights" petition that fights to protect the constitutional right that people have to employ natural health practices which include the use of and access to natural health products, supplements, and therapies, go to http://www.naturalhealthchoicesproject.com/petition/.

Reviewed by Justin V. (age 8)
Liza, Melody, and Howie try to prove it by going into the sea serpent's trailer. They see tons of tanks of fish and other sea creatures.
My favorite part of this book is when Eddie, Melody, Howie, and Liza saw someone who had an alligator-like back. They wonder what is was. They thought it was a big, big snake. Then, up popped Eddie's math tutor. It was exciting, but interesting.
Eddie is my favorite character. He's a funny character, but sometimes he's serious. Eddie is sometimes a mean character too. Eddie was mean when he threw water balloons at people.
In the book, I wondered what exciting part would come next. The authors make the exciting parts funny by describing the actions of the characters.
I recommend this book to kids in first grade up to fourth grade. If you like mystery books you'll like this book. If you like funny books, this is also the book for you.

NEW ORLEANS � East Carolina�s Andrew Bodenheimer walked slowly off the Superdome field. He and the other receivers exited together, among the last Pirates to step off the turf and into the tunnel.
NEW ORLEANS � East Carolina�s Andrew Bodenheimer walked slowly off the Superdome field. He and the other receivers exited together, among the last Pirates to step off the turf and into the tunnel.
In the background near midfield, the trophy presentation began. The red-clad Ragin� Cajun Nation celebrated a 43-34 victory. Those vocal Louisiana-Lafayette fans helped set a New Orleans Bowl attendance record of 48,828. They turned the dome into a temporary home and turned up the volume to assist their defense in protection of a slim fourth-quarter lead..
�I thought we had a chance there late in the game,� ECU Ruffin McNeill said. �I was proud of our players.�
Put simply though, East Carolina (8-5) committed too many mistakes to beat a solid team from the Sun Belt Conference.
Bodenheimer was the last Pirate to touch the football when victory remained within reach. But he didn�t hold on to Shane Carden�s pass. He took a hard blow from ULL cornerback Melvin White as the ball arrived, and the ball fell to the ground, near the ECU sidelines, a few feet from offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley.
Hanging onto Carden�s passes was a challenge for the Pirates, who recovered from an awful first half on defense, fought back from a 28-7 deficit to forge a tie at 31. Reese Wiggins dropped a sure touchdown early. There were at least five drops, unusual for a typically surehanded group of receivers.
�Our guys make routine catches and Shane does a good job delivering the ball,� ECU coach Ruffin McNeill said.
The Pirates had not played since Nov. 23rd. McNeill said that could have been a factor in disrupting the timing between passer and receiver, although he felt the team was sharp in practices as it prepared for the game.
Carden completed 25 of 42 passes for 278 yards. He felt the offense lost its rhythm after pulling within 37-31 after three quarters. The Pirates possessed the ball for only 3:53 in the final quarter, and its final stab at a game-winning drive fizzled after four plays on the 25-yard line, without gaining a first down.
ULL forced Carden out of the pocket on the final two series and the secondary covered up the ECU receivers.
�I�m not sure what it was,� Carden said. �They did a good job of changing the coverages. I just think it was more of us not executing routine plays.�
Carden wished for another shot at several pass attempts, including an underthrown ball ULL cornerback Jemarlous Moten intercepted near the end zone at 11:41 in the fourth quarter. The Pirates had seized momentum at that point, having just kicked a field goal to slice the deficit to 37-34, and then, intercepted a pass on the Ragin� Cajuns side of the field.
ULL (9-4) stretched the lead to 40-34 with 3:11 remaining on a 25-yard field goal by Brett Baer, who was perfect on three attempts, including a 50-yarder.
The Pirates ran 11 plays for 46 yards in the final quarter.
Altogether, ULL racked up 591 yards total offense and 25 first downs. Heading that attack was quarterback Terrance Broadway, who was named the game�s MVP.
�I read a couple of articles from this week and they said they were going to try and key in on me,� Broadway said. �I knew that was going to open up the outside for our receivers.�
He rushed for 114 yards on 15 carries and completed 21 of 32 passes for 316 yards, accounting for two touchdowns.
�He understands their offense. He�s a good quarterback and he did a good job leading his team,� McNeill said.
