...businesses like Yap's ornamental-fish-breeding company - a nimble, small-to-medium-size specialized enterprise that trades with China but does not directly compete with Chinese companies - that stand to benefit the most from unfettered access to China's one billion customers. Sixty percent of the world's supply of ornamental fish comes from Southeast Asia, whose warmer waters and diverse aquatic eco-system has given it a competitive advantage that China cannot easily wrest away. A fully grown dragonfish, which Yap says aspiring Chinese businessmen gravitate to, can fetch up to $20,000 - each. Producing the fish...
...appeal of the Times' approach is that while it doesn't cut the paper off completely to all those ad-revenue-generating eyeballs, it also doesn't continue to give away the store for free. The downside is that it's neither fish nor fowl: people who might pay for the paper are still going to try to get it for free if there's a way to do so. At the same time, the pay plan will limit the website's traffic - at 17 million monthly readers, it's the biggest of the newspaper websites - and therefore...
When it comes to mental acuity, there is plenty of research to support changing your diet (fish, for example, is fab for your noggin), reducing stress and staying both socially engaged and physically fit.

...warm waters of False Bay, south of the city, are a favored breeding and feeding ground for great whites, particularly around Seal Island, a rock that sits in the middle of the bay and hosts a huge colony of Cape fur seals. And we're well aware that Fish Hoek, the seaside holiday village where the attack took place, is particularly dangerous. Many of us have seen this picture, taken just off our favorite beach. And if anyone doubted just how deadly these waters can be, on Nov. 15, 2004, a great white made off with Tyna Webb...
...might ask, did I take my wife and two daughters, along with our two friends from Britain and their two daughters and baby son, to Fish Hoek for a swim just four days before the latest attack? For that matter, why did much of Cape Town? (We didn't arrive until midday, and by then the beach was so full we had to lay out our towels on some concrete steps.) It wasn't that we'd forgotten about the sharks. As we set up our little beach camp, I regaled our guests with a story about the legendary...
