BET Awards 2011

Beyonce's BET Awards 2011 performance rocked the audience and she was not even there! She performed via satellite from Glastonbury, England.

Want legs like Beyonce? Performing two songs from her latest album, she lit up the stage. Fans appreciate it.
Though satellite performances are nothing new for awards shows, she was the first artist to perform on the network via satellite.

The first award was given to the Best Male Artist and Chris Brown won out of Cee-Lo Green, Trey Songz, and Bruno Mars. Steve Harvey took home the Lifetime Humanitarian Award and as I realize the seriousness of the award, the only thing I thought of while seeing Steve Harvey doing his emotional award speech was, "What if Odd Future was at the BET Awards 2011?" The gospel performance was amazing as Donnie McClurkin, Deitrick Haddon, and Mary Mary (them some FINE sisters!) all performed "Thank You."

Spinner Shark

The spinner shark (Carcharhinus brevipinna) is a species of requiem shark, family Carcharhinidae, named for the spinning leaps it makes as a part of its feeding strategy. This species occurs in tropical and warm temperate waters worldwide, except for in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

It is found from coastal to offshore habitats to a depth of 100 m (330 ft), though it prefers shallow water. The spinner shark resembles a larger version of the blacktip shark (C. limbatus), with a slender body, long snout, and black-marked fins. This species can be distinguished from the blacktip shark by the first dorsal fin, which has a different shape and is placed further back, and by the black tip on the anal fin (in adults only). It attains a maximum length of 3 m (10 ft).

Spinner sharks are swift and gregarious predators that feed on a wide variety of small bony fishes and cephalopods. When feeding on schools of forage fish, they will speed vertically through the school while spinning on their axis, erupting from the water at the end.

Like other members of its family, the spinner shark is viviparous, with females bearing litters of 3–20 young every other year. The newborns are born in shallow nursery areas near the coast, and are relatively fast-growing. This species is not usually dangerous to humans but may become belligerent when excited by food.

Spinner sharks are valued by commercial fisheries across their range for their meat, fins, liver oil, and skin. They are also esteemed as strong fighters by recreational fishers. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed this species as Near Threatened worldwide and Vulnerable off the southeastern United States.
