Tyson Cole: (about Paul) He was the first person the I ever worked with, where I would show him something and teach him, and then he'd come back two days later and he would have done it better than I did it. At first I was kind of threatened-
(Everyone at the table laughs.)
Padma: Uh, yeah, yeah.
Tyson Cole: You know what I mean? But then I was like, "You know this guy is- he is really valuable. Like, we need to take advantage of that."
Gail: We need to exploit that.
Tyson Cole: (laughing) I know, exactly!
Lindsay: (introducing her mentor) I'm gonna look at your shoes so I don't lose it, all right? So Michelle Bernstein is my mentor. She molded this girl from North Carolina with train-wreck hair into the chef that I am, and she taught me how to balance being a badass and a lady at the same time.
(The chefs discuss who will return from Last Chance Kitchen.)
Ed: You know it's gonna be Bev coming back.
Sarah: Why would you say such thing?
Ed: You know it is, though. I got a pack of cigarettes says it's Bev.
Sarah: I got money that Grayson kicks Bev's ass.
Ed: Pack of cigarettes, or are you gonna raise me?
Sarah: I'm gonna raise ya a banana.
Ed: Done. Pack of cigarettes and a banana.
Sarah: Uh-oh, sounds like a good night.

This has got to be one of New Mexico's hidden gems. Toas is the #1 spot for sure, but Santa Fe is great. About half the size as Toas, the runs, trees, off trail powder, are all great !! The higher elevation keeps this place cold and the snow fresh. Some very long runs from the top down with lots of variety.
The only few downfalls are this: over-run with Texans, the # of lifts, slow lifts, the new conveyor lift (waste of money and broken 1/2 the time), and lastly, the food is horrible (wife got food poisining and ended up at St. Vincent's for a day).
Most of the time, this mountain is empty. No lines. The problem is only how slow the lifts are. During weekends and holidays, this little place gets SLAMMED with crowds. Long lines, slow lifts, and a new conveyor type lift that has broke down everytime I've visited (the just end up putting snow on the conveyor, covering it up, and treat it as a regular chair lift). Had they not wasted their money on this dumb lift, they could probably have installed 2 high speeds for that price providing faster lifts and more mountain access. The potential for this place is huge and for the price they charge, money should not be an issue.
Reccomendation: 1) Go during the week or an off-peak weekend 2) Don't eat their food 3) wait for the mountain to fully open 4) stay towards the top.
You'll love this mountain.

Here Come The Sharks
by Paul on 10/20/13 at 06:25 PM ET
Comments (0)
from David Pollak of the Mercury News,
"Detroit has 29 rivals and they have a very deep, loyal following around the country," said Sharks Coach Todd McLellan, who was an assistant for the Red Wings before coming to San Jose in June 2008. "I don't know if they get too wound up against any individual team."
McLellan's hiring definitely improved San Jose's fortunes against the Red Wings.
Before his arrival, the Sharks were 16-40-3 against Detroit with four ties; since the 2008-09 season, San Jose has held an 11-6-2 edge. In the playoffs, the Sharks have won both series between the teams since McLellan switched benches.
"San Jose has done a pretty good job since Todd got here of neutralizing Detroit's strengths," said defenseman Brad Stuart, who also knows the rivalry from both sides.
Stuart, 33, started his career with the Sharks and later spent four-plus seasons in Detroit before returning to San Jose in June 2012. Looking back, he said, Red Wing players did get up for games against the Sharks.
"And," he added, "you knew that San Jose ramped it up a level as well playing against Detroit."

Probes find no police wrongdoing in Yale prof's jail death
Officers and jail guards committed no wrongdoing in the arrest and detention of a Yale University professor who died in a cell
By John Christoffersen
Associated Press
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Police officers and jail guards committed no wrongdoing in the arrest and detention of a Yale University professor who died in a cell in November, according to internal investigations by the Connecticut Judicial Branch and New Haven police.
The medical examiner's office ruled last month that Samuel See died of acute methamphetamine and amphetamine intoxication with a recent heart attack and that his death was an accident.
The 34-year-old See was detained by police responding to a report of domestic dispute. Police say See was found unresponsive the next day in his cell at the New Haven detention facility.
The judicial investigation concluded marshals followed procedures and there was no evidence that See's death was the result of negligence or inattention. A police probe found no violations of department rules or orders.
David Rosen, an attorney hired by See's family, said they're still gathering information.
"We want to know all we can about how and why Sam See died," Rosen wrote in an email. "Legal judgments are for later."
See was an assistant professor of English and American studies who was on leave from the Ivy League university in New Haven.
Police said they received a complaint of a domestic dispute on Nov. 23. They said officers spoke with Saunder Ganglani, who identified See as his husband and said he went to the home they shared to retrieve his belongings. Ganglani was charged with violating a protective order.
Police said officers told See there also was a protective order protecting Ganglani from him.
See became enraged, yelling that it was his house and that he shouldn't be arrested, police said. He struggled with officers and sustained a cut above his left eye for which he was treated at a hospital before he was taken to the detention facility, police said.
See was charged with violating a protective order, threatening and interfering with police.
See was brought to the detention center at about 9:10 p.m. on Nov. 23 by police and was alert and communicating with marshals throughout his detainment, officials have said.
Marshals found him unresponsive in his cell at about 6 a.m. on Nov. 24 and immediately provided CPR, which continued until New Haven Fire and Rescue arrived, officials said.
See was quiet, polite and cooperative, according to the judicial report. He never made any complaints or asked for medical attention and showed no signs of distress, according to the report.
Video surveillance confirmed marshals conducted and documented all cell block tours in accordance with procedures and that resuscitation efforts began immediately when See was found unresponsive, the report said.

Academic Lineage and Student Performance in Medical School
Date: August 1999
Creator: Wright, James Scott
Description: This research investigated the association between academic lineage and student performance in medical school. The purposes of the study were to: (1) determine whether the Carnegie classifications of medical school applicants' institutions of origin are associated with academic performance in medical school; (2) consider the relationship between the admission selectivity of the schools of origin and the academic performance of medical school students; (3) compare the performance of medical students from institutions under public governing control with students from privately controlled institutions; and (4) establish a model by which the relative academic strengths of applicants from a variety of undergraduate institutions can be understood more clearly based on the previous performance of medical students from schools with similar institutional characteristics. A review of the literature on medical school admissions was completed and used to develop this research. Medical students from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas who enrolled between the years 1990 and 1994 and graduated or were dismissed between the years 1994 and 1998 were selected as the sample for the study (n=933). The undergraduate institution of origin for each student was coded based on its Carnegie classification, admissions selectivity group, and whether its governing control ...

Academic Reading Online: Digital Reading Strategies of Graduate-level English Language Learners
Date: May 2015
Creator: Knezek, Lois Ann
Description: English language learners (ELLs) face many linguistic and cultural challenges in their attempts to succeed academically. They encounter complex academic text, which is increasingly presented online. Although some research has addressed the challenges that university-level ELLs face when reading online texts, almost all of this prior work has focused on undergraduates. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the reading strategies employed by graduate-level ELLs when reading an academic English text online. Participating in the study were four foreign-born doctoral students from different first-language backgrounds—Arabic, Korean, Urdu, and Vietnamese—and the focus was on commonalities as well as differences among them. All four were enrolled in the same doctoral-level course, which included the reading of a specific online academic article as a course requirement. When reading this text individually, each student participated in a think-aloud procedure, followed by post-reading and discourse-based interviews. Analyses included unitizing data from the think-aloud protocols, coding units for strategies employed, and considering related interview commentary and classroom contributions. In their reading, these students made major use of problem-solving strategies, especially reading segments aloud and questioning. They also employed evaluative strategies as well as metacognitive strategies, which included affirming their understanding or indicating lack of ...

Academic Self-efficacy of Adult First-generation Students Enrolled in Online Undergraduate Courses
Date: August 2014
Creator: Jackson, Delores
Description: This study examined differences between adult first-generation (AFG) and adult-continuing generation (ACG) students' academic self-efficacy with regard to the online courses in which they were currently enrolled. The study used an online survey methodology to collect self-reported quantitative data from 1,768 undergraduate students enrolled in an online course at a mid-sized, four-year public university in the southwestern United States; 325 cases were usable for the study. The t-tests revealed no statistically significant differences between the academic self-efficacy of the AFG and ACG students. Parents' level of educational attainment was unrelated to adult students' academic self-efficacy with online courses. Ordinary least-squares analysis was used to evaluate student characteristics that might be associated with academic self-efficacy in the online environment. A combination of gender, GPA, age, race/ethnicity (White, Black, Hispanic, and other), and number of previous online courses predicted a statistically significant 12% of the variance in academic self-efficacy in an online environment (p < .001). Age (p < .001) and self-efficacy were positively correlated, meaning that adult students reported greater academic self-efficacy than did younger students; and number of previous online courses (p < .001) was also positively correlated to academic self-efficacy, indicating that students with greater experience with online courses ...

Academic, Social and Emotional Functioning of College Students with Attention Deficit/hyperactivity Disorder (Adhd)
Date: August 2015
Creator: McKelvy, Tara N.
Description: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is frequently associated with negative occupational, social and psychological outcomes among community samples of adults; as such, it is expected that college students with ADHD face similar struggles. The research targeting this group of individuals, however, is sparse and tempered by significant limitations. The current study aimed to address methodological limitations in the current literature by including instruments to formally diagnosis ADHD and comorbid disorders, utilizing psychometrically sound instruments and comparing functioning of college students with ADHD across gender and subtype. It was hypothesized that participants with ADHD would report lower GPAs, higher levels of emotional distress and negative relationship characteristics than participants without ADHD. It was also hypothesized that participants with ADHD-combined type (ADHD-C) would report higher levels of substance and alcohol use than participants with ADHD-predominately inattentive type (ADHD-I), and that participants with ADHD-I would report higher levels of anxiety and depression than participants with ADHD-C. Women diagnosed with ADHD were expected to report higher levels of anxiety and depression than men diagnosed with ADHD; whereas, men diagnosed with ADHD were expected to report higher levels of substance and alcohol use than women. MANOVA, ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U tests were conducted to test hypotheses. ...

Accelerated Degree Program Faculty: Motivation to Teach
Date: May 2016
Creator: Grishkevich, Hanna Hults
Description: Adult educators are a growing part of American higher education. Because of their increasing prominence in adult education, it is essential to understand what roles these educators play and what motivates them to remain in the profession despite poor work prospects and conditions. Research to date, however, focuses primarily on the adult learner and not the adult educator. The purpose of this qualitative, multiple-case study was to explore the role and motivation for teaching of adult educators employed as adjunct faculty in an accelerated degree program at a small, liberal arts college in the northwest United States. Purposeful sampling was used to select the five participants for the study. All participants taught in the program for more than five years and were considered to be successful in their positions by peers, students, and administrators. The study employed a preliminary demographic survey to solicit initial background data on the instructors. Other data collection included in-depth, open-ended, face-to-face interviews, document analysis, and classroom observation. The results showed that all five participants identified the following roles and assumed them in the classroom: (a) facilitator, (b) listener, (c) specialist, (d) guide, (e) adviser, and (f) co-learner or colleague. Further results showed that all five ...

MultiCell Technologies entered into an agreement with Merck KGaA & Co. for the formulation and supply of one of the active components in its drug related to multiple sclerosis (MS). MCT-125 is currently in Phase IIb trials for the treatment of chronic fatigue in MS patients.
In a 138-patient, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, MCT-125 demonstrated efficacy in significantly reducing the levels of fatigue in all three types of MS patients enrolled in the study, according to MultiCell.
"This contract is another key component required for us to commence planned Phase IIb human clinical trials," notes Stephen Chang, president and CEO of MultiCell Technologies. "We are building a solid foundation for the future development of this much needed therapeutic, and each new agreement brings this plan closer to reality."

A Klutz classic gets bigger, better, and even crazier. In 1998, we published a book of cool things to build with LEGO bricks. Just like that, kids everywhere quit stacking bricks in blocks that don't move and instead began constructing new things that DO things. And today, nearly 750,000 books later, they're demanding more. LEGO Crazy Action Contraptions is a brand-new book of brand-new, high-performance projects. From the Supercharged Speedster to the Squeezeclaw Grabber to the Wall Rocket Racer - all these contraptions spin, stretch, speed, or otherwise spring into action. And all of them are totally buildable thanks to super-clear instructions and step-by-step diagrams. Wonderful as the original book was, this new version is even better, and here's why: In the earlier book, five of the ten projects required bricks that you (hopefully) had at home. In this new version, every single one of the 16 projects can be constructed using just the custom selection of LEGO bricks that come with the book. All you need to supply is a little time, a little energy, and definitely a little craziness.

Based on a quarterly payout of 13 cents, the shares have a dividend yield of 3.82%. The company had $4.3 billion in total assets as of March 31, with 16 branches in Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan, as well as in Nassau County, in New York. First-quarter net income was $8 million, or 26 cents a share, essentially unchanged from a year earlier. During the first quarter, a $3.6 million impairment charge on a private label collateralized mortgage obligation was offset by an 11% year-over-year increase in net interest income, to $37.2 million. The net interest margin expanded to 3.62% during the first quarter from 3.39% a year earlier, "primarily due to a reduction in the cost of funds." The first-quarter ROA was 0.74%. After the first-quarter earnings announcement, David Darst of Guggenheim Securities reiterated his "buy" rating on Flushing Financial with a $17 price target, despite lowering is 2011 EPS estimate by 4 cents to $1.26, in order to reflect the first-quarter results. The analyst maintained his 2012 earnings estimate of $1.45 and said his price target anticipated "earnings power improvement" from net interest margin expansion and growth, along with improving credit trends. The shares trade for 10 times the consensus 2012 earnings estimate of $1.38 a share. Four out of six analysts covering Flushing Financial rate the shares a buy, while the remaining analysts have neutral ratings. Prev 7 of 11 Next

Primal Waters (Meg Series #3)by Steve Alten
View All Available Formats & Editions
Revised and Expanded new edition of the NY Times Bestseller. On a top-secret dive into the Pacific Ocean's deepest canyon, Jonas Taylor found himself face-to-face with the largest and most ferocious predator in the history of the animal kingdom. The sole survivor of the mission, Taylor is haunted by what he's sure he saw but still can't prove exists - Carcharodon megalodon, the massive mother of the great white shark. The average prehistoric Meg weighs in at twenty tons and could tear apart a Tyrannosaurus rex in seconds. Taylor spends years theorizing, lecturing, and writing about the possibility that Meg still feeds at the deepest levels of the sea. But it takes an old friend in need to get him to return to the water, and a hotshot female submarine pilot to dare him back into a high-tech miniature sub. Diving deeper than he ever has before, Taylor will face terror like he's never imagined. MEG is about to surface. When she does, nothing and no one is going to be safe, and Jonas must face his greatest fear once again.
Editorial Reviews
In rather characterless prose, debut novelist Alten's well-groomed story rockets like a pre-edited filmscript from event to event. But the author's love of his title character is clear, as he keeps his Lord and Master of the Sea, a female Carcharodon Megalodon, frequently front and center. Seven years ago, Professor Jonas Taylor, a paleontologist and deep-sea submersible pilot, first saw such a shark, thought to be extinct, while diving more than seven miles down in the Marianas Trench. During the Ice Age, members of the species, it turns out, took refuge in the hot thermals on the ocean bottom. Lethally cold water above has kept from them resurfacing. Jonas's first encounter cost two lives, and has burdened him with profound guilt. He goes back down to the abyss anyway, accompanied by Masao Tanaka, the owner of a huge aquarium on the California coast. When a male Megalodon gets entrapped in steel cables in the trench, he's attacked by a pregnant female; she follows the male to the surface, surviving the journey, and discovers a warm new world, filled with varied, easy, hot-blooded prey. Clearly, the shark is an ecological disaster, especially when she gives birth to three more of her kind. Taylor and Tanaka, however, don't want to destroy the shark but rather to harness her drugged body and haul it into confinement. This means some vastly dangerous close work with her once she's located, with Taylor hovering about the monster in a submersible that becomes theinstrument of an utterly amazing climax. A female offspring in captivity at story's end guarantees a sequel.
Weightless characters on a choppy seabut hellishly riveting.

Read an Excerpt
• • •
The engine powered off and I knew I was in trouble. I kicked at the battery…nothing. The heavy Lexan nose cone of the Abyss Glider sank, bobbing upside-down along the surface like a cork. Staring into the depths of the Monterey Bay Canyon, I saw the female's conical head appear from the shadows, her ghostly albino glow paralyzing me in fear as she charged.
Her hideous mouth yawned open, anticipating her next mealme!
The thought of this enraged me. Reaching forward, I grabbed the emergency lever and turned it counterclockwise, then yanked it back, igniting the mini-sub's fuel. Instantly, my body was slammed backward within the pod's safety harness as the mini-sub rocketed downward like a torpedo into the awaiting gullet of my worst nightmare
• • •
The telephone rings, shattering his concentration. Jonas Taylor grabs the cursed instrument off its cradle, strangling the receiver in his grip. "What?"
"Uh…Mr. Taylor?"
"Sir, this is Ross Colombo."
"I don't know any Ross Colombo."
"With American Express. We spoke last week."
"Sir, we still haven't received the payment, the one you assured me you had mailed."
Jonas's blood pressure ticks a few notches higher. "Look, Russ"
"Ross. Sir, did you send the check?"
"Sure, I sent it. Can't believe you haven't gotten it yet. Tell you what, call me next week if it still hasn't arrived."
"Could you tell me the check number?"
"My wife handles all that stuff and she's not home. Why don't you call her next week."
Jonas slams the phone on its receiver, causing the taser-like star pattern of his screen saver to evaporate back into text. Damn bill collectors…
He takes a deep breath. Stares at his computer monitor.
Writing his memoirs had been Terry's idea. To Jonas, it seemed like a waste of time, a last desperate attempt to regain lost years of fame. Still, he had to make a living, and his once overflowing well of requests for speaking engagements had run dry long ago.
Face it, Jonas, you're a has-beenyesterday's news. You were never a real scientist and you're way too old to be a submersible pilot. At your age, with your limited background, you'd be lucky to get a job as an assistant manager in a fast-food joint.
He commands himself to reread the last passage on screen, but the text refuses to sink in.
Reviewing his life on paper had forced Jonas to come to grips with the shortcomings of his existence. Almost sixty-four, he was at an age when most men were thinking about retirement, yet here he was, still struggling to make ends meet.
He glances at the stack of bills, becoming more depressed.
Snap out of it, you big baby. So you're over the hill, at least you're still near the summit. So what if you've grayed a bit, so what if your lower back feels like somebody ran over it with a pickup truck and every joint is wracked with arthritis. And who really cares if you can't run or keep up with the younger guys on the basketball court or pump as much iron? Hey, at least you're still active. Most guys my age would
He stops himself.
You're not old, Jonas…you're just not young anymore.
The truth was, the more Jonas wrote, the older he felt, and the more he came to realize how much of his life was based on illusions.
The illusion of fame, of being important.
The illusion of being a good provider.
Jonas twists his head from one side to the other, his neck crackling like gravel beneath a tire. Health insurance, car insurance, mortgage payments, phone bills, electric bills…every month the mountain of debt gets higher, every waking moment dominated by stress. He has borrowed against the house, maxed out his credit cards, dipped into the kids' college funds…and still the mountain grows, along with his pessimism about the future and his constant fear of poverty.
Jonas Taylor can't remember the last time he has laughed out loud. Or even smiled.
His eyes focus upon the top statement in the stack, his annual life insurance billthe irony of his life. Bankrupt in life, rich in death. At least you married a younger woman. Yep, Terry will be well taken care of after you croak.
He tosses the bill aside, then massages his temples, praying the spot in his vision is just the sun's glare on his monitor and not another migraine.
Stay focused. Finish the book. Terry will sell it, and the rest will take care of itself.
He returns to the keyboard.
• • •
Darkness rushed at me, but before I could comprehend the consequences of my actions, I was jolted into unconsciousness. When I awoke, I was startled to be alive. The pod, miraculously, was still intact, but was now rolling in horrible darkness, the nose cone's exterior light occasionally illuminating refuse from the monster's last meal. A dolphin. Molten blubber. The upper torso of my former Naval commander
• • •
The heavy bass of gangsta rap pounds through the ceiling above his head.
Jonas stops typing. Looks up.
No response.
Jonas gets up from his desk. Walks to the staircase. "Danielle Kaye Taylor!"
No response.
Jonas's blood pressure creeps up another notch. Cursing beneath his breath, he climbs the worn beige-carpeted steps two at a time, turns right at the landing, then trudges down the hall to his daughter's room. Tries the handle. Locked, of course. Pounds on the door. Pounds again.
The door opens.
"What?" The blond-haired seventeen-year-old stares back at her father, her indigo-blue eyes furious.
"I'm trying to work."
"So? I live here, too."
"Can you just turn it down a bit?"
She lowers the volume, just enough so Jonas can comprehend the lyrics. "Geez, Dani, do you have to listen to that crap?"
"Dad, don't start"
"A song about three brothers gang-raping their mother?"
"It's just a song."
"Well I don't like it. Turn it off."
"Excuse me, but you can't tell me what to listen to. This happens to be a free country."
"The only thing free is what you're paying in rent. As long as you're living under my roof, you'll listen. Now turn it off."
She slaps at the CD player, shutting it off. "Another seven weeks and I'll turn eighteen, then I am so out of here."
"Better hope financial aid comes through, or you'll be commuting."
"News flash: I'm not going to college."
His blood pressure tweaks again, his daughter's expression fueling his rage. "And exactly what're you going to do to make a living? Waitress? Flip burgers?"
"Maybe I'll write my memoirs!" She slams the door in her father's face.
Okay, good comeback. He pauses. Hears her crying. So much for my Father-of-the-Year Award…
Seeking absolution, he turns and knocks on his son's door. Opens it.
The fourteen-year-old with the mop of brownish-red hair poking out from beneath the Philadelphia Phillies baseball cap never looks up, too absorbed in his video game.
"I already did my homework."
He kneels beside his son. Watches the boy's hands adeptly work the controlsa replica of his old mini-sub.
On screen, the blunt ivory nose of the Megalodon rises, its jaws chomping down upon the fluke of a fleeing Killer Whale. Crimson blood pours from the wound, dispersing across the animation like smoke from a chimney.
"Why do you always control the Meg? Why not the mini-sub?"
"Angel's more fun."
The image of a torpedo-shaped mini-sub soars by. David manipulates the controls, sending the Megalodon after it.
"You like stalking your old man, huh?"
"It's a thousand points."
"A thousand points. Be sure to engrave that on my tombstone, will you?"
Jonas ignores the impulse to shut off the cursed video game, a reminder of a life that could have been. Endorsements, merchandising…all gone.
Gone with his youth.
He turns and leaves. Pauses again at Dani's door. Hears her talking on the phone, complaining about her life in some adolescent code.
The illusion of parenthood…
The front door opens. "Jonas?"
He heads downstairs. Greets his wife with, "Where have you been? I've been trying to get you on your cell phone for hours."
"I told you, the phone company disconnected me yesterday." Terry Taylor's long onyx hair is pulled up in a tight bun, accenting her Asian features. In her mid-forties, she is still quite the beauty. "How come you're not working?"
"I can't work in this house, all I get is constant interruptions."
"Since you're not working, can you get the groceries out of the car?"
Jonas sighs. Heads outside to the SUV in his stocking feet. Gathers as many plastic bags from the open rear hatch as he can handle, then glances at the car parked next to his wife's.
Notices the dent in the hood.
Registers the twinge in his left arm.
Jonas drops the groceries and examines the hood, which no longer seals shut.
Just keeps getting better and better.
She pokes her head out the front door. "What're you screaming about?"
"Did you see the hood of the Chrysler?"
"I saw it. She said it happened last night while she was parked."
"Where did she park? A demolition derby? Damn car costs us two-fifty a month, plus another three grand a year for insurance. You'd think she could be a little more careful"
"Jonas, calm down."
"A little appreciation, a little respect, that's all I ask." Blood boiling, he opens the front door of his daughter's car. Snarls at the heavy scent of tobacco. Reaches down to pop the hood and spots the bag of marijuana, hidden beneath the seat.
as the migraine squeezes tighter behind his eyeball.
The deep blue hill of water rolls toward shore, its weight rumbling over the shoals as it crests, its bulk split in two as it kisses the submerged concrete walls of the man-made canal. Half the wave crashes into foam and races to a quick death upon the beach, the other half rushes into the channel, picking up speed as it is redirected into the main tank of the Tanaka Lagoon.
The old man's almond eyes follow another wave in, his soul soothed by its crushing thunder, his mind as restless as the undulating splashes that echo throughout the deserted arena like crackling paper. From his vantagea cold aluminum bench in the upper deck of the western bleachershe can see everything: the incoming Pacific, the ocean-access canal, the lake-size man-made aquarium, the western horizon's dying afternoon sun.
Eighty-two-year-old Masao Tanaka fixes his collar against the harsh ocean breeze that howls inside his empty concrete fish bowl. Weathered eyes squint against reflections coming off the lagoon's surface. The once azure waters have stagnated olive-green, algae growth surpassing maintenance. The once-shiny A-frame, perched at the southern end of the arena like a giant steel scarecrow, is caked with layers of rust, as are the bleachers, the rest rooms, food court, and souvenir stands.
Masao shakes his head at the irony of his existence. The lagoon had been more than the marine biologist's dream, it had been his life, and now he is dying with it. Thirty years have passed since he first designed the facility and risked everything to build it. He had depleted his family's estate and mortgaged his children's future, and when those funds ran dry, he had accepted a high-risk contract with the Japanese Marine Science Technology Center, selling JAMSTEC twenty-five of the Institute's Unmanned Nautical Information Submersibles. The UNIS drones were to be part of Japan's Early Warning Earthquake Detection System. The catch: Masao's team would be responsible for deploying the array seven miles down in the Mariana Trench, the deepest, most unexplored realm on the planet.
Masao's son, D.J., had escorted each UNIS into position, piloting an Abyss Glider-II, the Institute's one-man deep-sea submersible. For weeks the detection system worked flawlessly, and then one by one, the drones stopped transmitting data. With the Japanese threatening to hold back payment, Masao had been forced to call in a favor from an old friend.
Jonas Taylor had been the best deep-sea submersible pilot ever to wear the Navy uniformuntil something happened to him on his last dive in the Mariana Trench. Working in 33,000 feet of water, Jonas had suddenly panicked, launching his vessel into an emergency ascent. The duress of the maneuver had caused a malfunction in the sub's pressurization system and the two scientists on board had died. Diagnosed with psychosis of the deep, Jonas had been forced to spend three months in a psychiatric ward. His naval career over, his confidence shot, Jonas reinvented himself, going back to school to study paleobiology, intent on convincing the world that he was not crazy, that the unexplored sevenmile-deep gorge was inhabited by sixty-foot prehistoric sharks, long thought extinct.
Masao cared little about Jonas's theories; what he needed was a second deep-sea pilot to accompany his son on a salvage operation. Jonas accepted the old man's invitation, more focused on locating an unfossilized Megalodon tooth, proof that the creatures were still alive.
What he found instead was his own personal Hell.
Jonas Taylor was right, members of the Megalodon species had survived extinction in the hydrothermally-warmed bottom layer of the trench.
Upon entering the abyss, the two mini-subs' engines had attracted a male. D.J. was attacked and devoured, the Meg entwining itself in his sub's cable. As Masao's surface ship unwittingly hauled the entrapped beast topside, a larger female attacked the male, following it to the surface.
Having summoned the devil from its purgatory, it was left to Jonas and his team to stop it.
More death would follow as the Tanaka Institute attempted to capture the female, which birthed three pups in the deep waters off Monterey, California. Jonas was eventually forced to kill the creature, with the lone surviving pup captured and raised in Masao's whale lagoon.
Come see Angel: the Angel of Death. Two shows daily.
The captive female would attract millions of visitors and even more dollars. But a series of devastating lawsuits would cripple the Institute, forcing Masao to sell the majority of his company to energy mogul Benedict Singer. Losing control of his beloved Institute was bad enough, the undue stress on his family even worse. Terry's first pregnancy was stillborn, and Jonas was not there for her, too preoccupied with his concerns over keeping Angel secured in the lagoon. Eventually the female did escape, nearly taking the lives of Masao's daughter and son-in-law in the process.
Benedict Singer's demise would return the Institute to its rightful owner. Three years after Angel's escape, the lagoon's new canal doors were reopened, this time for the advancement of cetacean science, as had always been intended.
Masao had a new lease on life. Each winter day, as tens of thousands of the behemoths migrated south from the Bering Sea, the biologist would wait by the open canal doors, hoping to lure a pregnant cow into his protected cove to birth her young.
"Spooked" by the Megalodon's lingering presence, the whales refused to enter.
Hoping to remove Angel's "scent," Masao accepted a huge loan from his son-in-law to drain and scrub the main tank…all to no avail.
Deep in debt, Masao finally agreed to lease the facility to Sea World. A half dozen orcas, all born in captivity, were transported from their cramped tanks to the much larger ocean-accessible lagoon. Immediately upon entering the water, the Killer Whales panicked, circling the tank in a frenzied state. With nowhere to beach, they began bashing their heads against the canal doors, desperate to get out.
Two of the animals died, along with the Sea World contract.
As time passed, so too did the public's interest in Jonas Taylor. His speaking career over, Jonas was forced to sell his home in California and move his family to Tampa, where he accepted a public relations job at a new marine park. Masao stayed behind, hiring Jonas's best friend, Mac, to maintain the facility while he attempted to sell it.
The eventual collapse of the stock market wiped out Masao's pension and the savings of several potential buyers, sealing the old man's fate. The lagoon was his albatross, and, like it or not, he was stuck with it.
• • •
Masao stretches, his arthritic joints creaking with the effort. Across the lagoon, his eyes catch movement.
Atti…The old man waves.
Athena Holman waves back, then continues sweeping the empty eastern bleachers. Cerebral palsy has affected the young African-American woman's right hand and legs, causing her to walk with a heavy gait. Despite her challenges, the nineteen-year-old has been the Institute's hardest worker, her dark brown eyes and quick wit stealing Masao's heart years ago, making it impossible for him to let her go with the rest of his maintenance workers.
The arena turns gold, the sun setting at his back. It is the old man's favorite time of day, yet all he feels is remorse. Once the driving force behind his family's business, life's mishaps have reduced him to a shadow of his former self, a burden to his children.
He waits until the horizon bleeds scarlet and magenta, then stands, his back and knees aching. Like his facility, Masao is breaking down, yet his soul is still too restless to move on.
He hobbles down the bleachers to the concrete walkway.
Two men step out of the shadows, both in their late thirties, well-built, wearing lumberjack shirts and worn jeans.
The older of the two flashes a false smile. "Afternoon, Mr. Tanaka. You remember my younger brother, Devin."
The second man, dark-haired and ponytailed, offers a cold stare.
Masao nods uncomfortably. "I assume you received the reply from my attorney?"
Drew Dietsch gazes at the lagoon. "Received it in triplicate. Can't say I was happy with it, but I guess you already know that, seeing as how you haven't returned any of our calls."
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry?" Devin's green eyes squint in anger. "Listen, old man, we sank over half a million in site surveys and soil samples, not to mention the money it cost us to grease the zoning commissioner's office. And that personal loan."
"Easy, Devin." Drew steps in between his younger brother and the old man. "Let's keep everything civil…for now. Mr. Tanaka, I'm sure you can understand why my brother and I are a little upset about the way things played out."
"Hai. The money I borrowed will be paid back with interest, you have my word."
"We're not a bank," Devin spits.
"My brother's right. We had a deal to turn this entire beachfront area and lagoon into million-dollar condos and a high-end shopping marina."
"We had a deal in principle only. Your final offer was too low. Not enough cash up front."
"We had an agreement, Tanaka, which is why we agreed to that personal loan. You'd receive your share of the profits on the back-end with the rest of our investors."
"Profits based on trust. I don't trust you. Neither does my attorney. Too many loopholes. Put more money up front and we'll talk, otherwise I think I'll wait. Dietsch Brothers is not the only fish in the sea, you know."
Masao pushes past them and hobbles for the exit.
Devin goes after him.
Drew grabs his brother by the arm. "Okay, Tanaka, hey, if that's the way you want to play it, fine by us. Our lawyers are on retainer, how about yours? Can you afford to keep paying a mouthpiece to prevent us from getting a judgment? I doubt it. And what about your daughter and her loser husband?"
Masao slows.
"Yeah, I hear Terry and Jonas are hurting for money, just like you. Bad investment them sinking their life savings into this zoo, huh? Face it, old man, pennies on the dollar is the best you're ever gonna see. So why don't we settle this like men, before the judge does it for us."
"A better offer, gentlemen," Masao grimaces, "preferably before I die."

Would anyone mind telling me what the second book is called or where to find it? The first was amazing, but I'd rather read the series in chronological order. If it's of any help, I'm using a nook SimpleTouch. Thanks for reading and hopefully helping!!! :)
Steve,s done it again sat me in my over stuff chair for hours. I just can't find a stopping point. Please don't forget to read the first book[Meg]and the second book [The trench]before reading this one.
The second book is the trench
To prove it ill send a expidection across the world to do it when im thirty ill try to get a blood sample of it
If you enjoyed books like "Kronos" and "Jaws", then you'll love this book even more. Meg: Primal Waters, the third installment in the Meg Series, continues with a perfect mix of the thriller and action-based themes. The plot, although not entirely original, incorporates the return of a previous villain in a nefarious scheme to silence the famous paleobiologist Jonas Taylor. In the procees, Jonas, his wife and their children Danielle and David, including many hapless victims, cross the paths of three megalodons in a muti-layered story sure to sate your imagination.
Steve Alten isn't the best writer, in fact the books have a tendency to be formulated, repeat unnecessary information, and can be a bit tedious in spots. However, if you are just looking for a fun read, something to break up reading more informative and well-written books, you could do worse than this.
It was sckary the movie was sckary but i relly loved it
Alten has done an excellent job of returning back to what made the series great, the Meg. If you are looking for a well written creature feature, this is the one to read.
I love this series but this one has some dragging slow information parts, but all in all a good book. Pleade start with #1 so U can follow the series.
Steve alten is one of the best authors ever on the face of the earth. I just started domain a couple of months after i finished meg i love steve hes an awesome author!

We've spent 3 nights in the hotel.
The room was big.
The bathroom ceiling was dripping cold water on our heads.
Towels were taken away every morning but no new towels were put instead.
Staff wasn't helpfull at all - wouldn't call a restaurant to make an order, wouldn't help us with our laundry. Took them hours to call someone to fix the water supply to our room.
Poor location.
Bad acoustics
