Watch a video of activists from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society confronting a Japanese whaling ship. In the video, the captain of the Sea Shepherd anti-whaling ship, the Steve Irwin, appears to have been shot. Paul Watson says members of his crew threw stink bombs aboard the whaling ship, the Nisshin Maru, and the Japanese responded by returning flash grenades. He says one of his crew was hit by a grenade and received minor injuries.

Statistics Slam Derek Jeter -- NY Yankee Shortstop One of the Worst Fielders in Baseball, Study Shows

Shane Jensen, a statistics professor at the University of Pennsylvania, says Jeter may look good on the field but the stats tell a different story.

Even with three Gold Gloves, Yankees captain Derek Jeter has been labeled the worst fielding shortstop in baseball, according to a new study. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania examined every hit from the 2002-2005 baseball seasons and developed a formula to calculate the probability of a player recording an out on a batted ball.
