[size=large]Does Your Deadlift Suck?[/size]
A short list of simple things that may be holding you back.
Tonight I realized that, in over a relatively short period of time, I had taken my broken-ass deadlift from shit… to fucking awesome. So I thought I would share some thoughts with everyone on how I got there. This list is excellent for beginners, but even if you're an experienced lifter, you may be overlooking something.
1. Don't be a pussy
Yeah, the deadlift sucks. But it's a true test of your posterior chain (the muscles on your backside). If you're serious about being big and/or strong, you had better do some deadlifts.
2. Technique
Study good technique. Don't just watch YouTube gym gurus. Instead, watch professional powerlifters and bodybuilders perform all sorts of deadlifts. If they're pros, they're doing something right.
Have someone smart watch you. Sometimes this involves videoing your training session and posting it on Facebook and YouTube—where every asshole can post about it. But if you don't have people keeping an eye on you, it's very easy to slip into bad habits.
Practice makes permanent. If you practice bad technique, you will be plagued with bad technique. I will not deadlift for reps of max effort if I do not have someone smart watching it.
Technique is half the deadlift. If your technique sucks, you will get hurt and are shortchanging yourself.
3. Lighten the load
Leave your ego at the door. Sometimes (a lot of the time) you need to lighten the weight and do more reps. This follows Tip #2: if you can't do 10 or more reps with excellent form, something might be wrong.
Deadlifting heavy is taxing on the CNS. If you go heavy too often, your gains will eventually suffer. I've learned this myself and so have many of my training partners. Don't learn it the hard way.
4. Speed
The other half of the deadlift is explosiveness. With very few exceptions, the deadlift is a two- to three-second lift, and every second after three, your odds of locking it out decrease exponentially. So do some research on the various methods for becoming more explosive. The dynamic effort method is most widely used by power athletes but is really just another form of plyometrics. If you are not explosive, your deadlift will suffer.
5. Your core is weak
Your core isn't just your abs. Your core consists of your abdominals, obliques, spinal erectors, hips, lats, and traps. If your deadlift is struggling, strengthening and conditioning all of these muscles will increase your lift even if they aren't the main culprit. Having a stronger core will also make all of your other multi-joint lifts stronger and better, so just do it. (Oh, and refer to Tip #1 and remember that a six-pack does not always equal strong abs).
6. Your grip sucks
Having a strong grip is a necessity when deadlifting for a lot of reps or with heavy weight. However, sore forearms and feeling like you can't hold on to the bar is very psychologically damaging and may hold you back. Plus, we could all use a stronger grip and it benefits every lift, so why not do it?
7. You need better conditioning
You need to have the energy to get work done. One thing I began to notice was that I was burning out by the end of my warmup. My conditioning was shit, and it was keeping my deadlift in the mud. So, sometimes it's beneficial to lighten the load and do more reps (See Tip #3). Also, every now and then cut your rest time to really annihilate yourself. The deadlift is very taxing on your body and regardless of the intensity of the workout, you'll probably be feeling dead after it.

(Oh, and refer to Tip #1 and remember that a six-pack does not always equal strong abs).

There are so many cliches floating about now that we've won the big game. But words and pictures cannot capture the feeling of being a New Orleanian right now. So many life/game-changing things are happening that it's hard to explain/describe what it all does and could mean. Suffice to say that we're feeling a lot better about so many things. We have an optimism we didn't have a few weeks ago. And we're flying high as we head into the peak days of Mardi Gras.
My thoughts are simply those of gratitude mixed with relief. I love New Orleans. I love Louisiana. I'm glad we get along so well. And, like thousands of Saints fans, I wish my late father had lived to see this day.
So many things feel different today. Oh, there go the cliches again. I'll stop before I get carried away.
The yin/yang of our experiences have spun us into a state of euphoria right now. I'm going to be out on the streets today, relishing it with the Who Dat Nation. Yes, indeed!

LOS ANGELES (AP) The postgame roars from Notre Dame's locker room echoed right through the Coliseum's thick cement walls and metal beams Saturday night, moving around the 89-year-old arena like a long-absent force of nature.
After decades away, the Fighting Irish are back on top of college football - unmatched in the rankings, unblemished in the standings, and unequivocally ready for a chance to end a 24-year national championship drought.
Manti Te'o, the star linebacker from Hawaii who led this improbable revival season, took a moment to listen to those echoes.
``This is where you want to be when you go to Notre Dame,'' he said.
The Irish are No. 1 again - a Golden Dome atop their sport.
Notre Dame (12-0) beat Southern California 22-13 to complete its first unbeaten regular season since 1988. That's also the last championship year for the school that produced a legion of the sport's most memorable figures: Knute Rockne, the Four Horsemen, Paul Hornung, Joe Montana - heck, even Rudy Ruettiger.
A no-nonsense win over Notre Dame's intersectional rivals in Los Angeles capped a year of historic dominance for a defense led by Te'o, its inspirational Heisman contender. That defense allowed just nine touchdowns all season long, capped by four downs of unyielding play while backed up to its goal line by the Trojans in the final minutes.
``You just put the ball down in front of us, and if there's time on the clock, we're never going to give up,'' defensive end Kapron Lewis-Moore said.
These Irish never flinched, either in dire late-game circumstances or under the weight of history that has crushed decades of previous Notre Dame teams. After beginning the year unranked and projected for maybe eight victories by optimistic pundits, the Irish produced a marvelous season of old-fashioned, hard-nosed football amid the wacky spread offenses and garish neon uniforms that seem to dominate the sport these days.
After winning half of their games by nine points or fewer, including two hair-raising escapes in overtime, it's clear these Irish have something else going for them as well.
``Not saying it was lucky, but luck doesn't hurt,'' said Terry Brennan, who played at Notre Dame in the late 1940s and coached the team from 1954-58. ``The point is, they got the break and they took advantage of it. That's the key.''
The Irish have six weeks to prepare for the BCS title game on Jan. 7, but coach Brian Kelly's restoration of the Notre Dame mystique could linger much longer.
The Golden Dome atop Notre Dame's administration building has regained its luster at a school where coaches Bob Davie, Tyrone Willingham and Charlie Weis all failed to restore the program to its most recent glory under Lou Holtz in the late 1980s. All told, Notre Dame lost at least three games every season between 1993 and this fall - not bad, but not good enough to contend for national titles.
Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick, a Notre Dame alum, said when he took the job in 2008 he found no reason Fighting Irish football could not be great again.
``I became convinced there weren't any insurmountable hurdles, institutional hurdles, something in our approach or our system that made it so we could never be this successful again,'' he said in a phone interview Sunday.
Just three years after taking over a 6-6 team with ancient expectations annually dwarfed by the modern realities of competing at a Catholic school in frigid northern Indiana with tough academic standards, Kelly has put the Irish back on top.
``One of the things I really wanted in a coach was somebody who ... would be a CEO coach,'' said Swarbrick, who hired Kelly to replace Weis. ``I think what you're seeing in this third year is the maturation of that staff into a really cohesive unit.''
And though he's still one win shy of ultimate success, Kelly did it in his third year - the same season in which Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, Dan Devine and Holtz all won national titles during their tenures at Notre Dame.
``It's easy to say, `Well, yeah, I'm surprised,''' Kelly said. ``But when you go in that locker room and are around the guys I'm around, you're not surprised. The commitment they've made - they've done everything I've asked them to do. It doesn't surprise me anymore.''
Thousands of Irish fans turned up at the Coliseum for the regular-season finale, demonstrating the wide reach of Notre Dame's appeal. The Irish have embraced their status as an international program in recent years, playing everywhere from Yankee Stadium to Dublin, Ireland, while Kelly put the ingredients in place for this season's success.
Swarbrick acknowledges he expected the Irish to need maybe one more year to contend at an elite level.
``I knew we were much, much better, but frankly I thought the schedule might mask the progress,'' he said.
Although Notre Dame's defense was clearly tough, nobody could have expected such success from an offense now led by the likes of quarterback Everett Golson, who redshirted last year, and tailback Theo Riddick, who was a slot receiver last season.
The Irish were nobody's favorite, but they've ended up on top. The 84-year-old Brennan, who was just 25 when he took over the Irish program in 1954, knows all about the importance of seizing the moment.
``Grab it when you can,'' he said. ``Next year you might have injuries, and the ball bounces the other way.''
The Irish returned home Sunday knowing they've still got a bit of work to do - and if their season to date is any indication, they're still hungry.
Notre Dame is likely to be an underdog to an opponent from the Southeastern Conference in the BCS title game. The Irish will rely on the experience of their unbeaten season, the history of past champions wearing their uniforms, and the support of untold millions who love what the team once represented - and what it means again.
Te'o, who turns 22 in January, hadn't been born the last time Notre Dame won a national title. He still knows the date of the last Irish national championship by heart, thanks to the sign at the end of the tunnel at Notre Dame Stadium where he steps on that hallowed field each game day.
``I'm just hoping that we can add our year to it,'' Te'o said. ``But it's going to take a lot of work.''

The latest study to be published in the prestigious Scientificultural Journal of Tleilaxucore!!
This release is an eclectic presentation of music approached with the explicit goal of pushing the science of electronic music in novel, unusual, and perhaps unpredictable directions—a science hereby defined in this context as "electroneology". A massive variety of influence is alluded to in this work; the research stems from and includes reformulations of both familiar and obscure aesthetics, making the results generally accessible and informative to those aware of any number of components which constitute the wide field of party electronix. Much like rational molecular design, the interfaces which bind to the listener have been modified and rearranged for augmented psychological and physiological effects. Naturally, due to the unique meta/physical composition of each individual, there will be variance in how it impacts users' neurological and asomatous systems. Detailed experiential feedback from participants is encouraged as well as commentary and constructive critique from peers similarly involved in this arena of study.

No: 108-9
Date: May 19, 2003
Senate Passes H.R. 2, the "Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003"
On May 15, 2003, the Senate amended and passed H.R. 2, the "Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003," by a vote of 51 to 49. On May 9, 2003, the Senate Finance Committee had reported tax relief provisions in S. 2. Those provisions were reintroduced as S. 1054 on May 13, 2003. In considering the House-passed version of H.R. 2, the Senate deleted the language of the House bill and inserted instead the text of S. 1054, to which it then made additional amendments.
As passed by the Senate, H.R. 2 includes the following provisions that would affect SSA-administered programs.
Repeal of 1993 Income Tax Increase on Social Security Benefits
- By a vote of 98 to 2, the Senate approved an amendment expressing the sense of the Senate that the 1993 income tax increase on Social Security benefits should be repealed.
Require Pre-effectuation Review (PER) of SSI Disability and Blindness Allowances for Individuals Aged 18 and Over
- PER would be required for 25 percent of cases in FY 2004, and 50 percent of cases for FY 2005, and thereafter. A similar provision was passed by the House on February 13, 2003 in H.R. 4 (see Legislative Bulletin 108-1) and the Senate on April 9, 2003 in S. 476 (see Legislative Bulletin 108-7).

"Bob's notes" are reports from CFCA President Bob Hentzen, who regularly accompanies mission awareness trip participants. You can see Bobís full update on his Facebook page.
What a joy for Cristina and me to share this sacred time with 36 sponsors, their sponsored friends and families, and a great group of CFCA co-workers.
This New Year's group of sponsors includes a good number of children and young people. They found a Guatemala in great need, but in the happy time of coffee harvest.
Students in Guatemala will be out of school until mid-January; coffee harvest involves the entire family.
[Related link: Read our story about families harvesting coffee in Guatemala.]
A new president, new congressional representatives and new mayors will take office on Jan. 15.
This is also the time of the "safra" ñ the burning, cutting and hauling of sugar cane. The air is filled with the distinct odor and falling ash of the cane. It is impressive to think that every stalk must be hand-cut by campesinos, darkened by the coastal sun and carbon, and cut and stacked. They are paid for by the ton.
I thank our communications team in Guatemala (Ricardo, Luis, Gerver) for their fine pictures and technical help.
Expressions I've heard this week:
- "I found out that there are two special children in Guatemala ñ one named after me, and the other named after my son Kevin." ~Barbara, CFCA sponsor
- "Guatemala is a beautiful country, especially in the people."
- "The music of the choral group (moms, dads, grandmothers, children, staff) from Patzun brought tears to my eyes. Such harmony amidst all their challenges."
- "On this trip, we were able to experience the tierra sagrada (sacred ground) of the Quiche martyrs."
- "In each of the CFCA projects we visited, we have been treated to great performances of what I would call true folklore."
- Quote from Katie, one of the children on the mission awareness trip: "Mr. Bob is Grandpa to the world and his wife Cristina is Grandma to the world."
- "What a way to start the New Year. I have learned so much about my sponsored family and about proyectos productivos [CFCA livelihood programs]. Sponsored [friends and their] families are learning to produce vegetables for their own family and for market sales."
- From Alex, a youth on the mission awareness trip: "We hope to continue burning that candle of hope at home, and to continue walking with God's people."
Here's wishing each of you every blessing in the exciting year just beginning.
Cristina and I ask for your prayers as we accompany our dear sponsors to India, Philippines, the Dominican Republic and many other parts of the CFCA world.
Please know of our thanks and love.
Bob H.

All turtles belong to the class of backboned animals known as reptiles. This class also includes snakes, lizards, and crocodiles. Turtles are the oldest group. The first turtles crawled about on earth more than 250,000,000 years ago. Turtles have changed very little since that time.
Turtles are found in almost all temperature and tropical regions of the world. Many turtles spend all or most of their lives in fresh water. They may live in swamps, ponds, running streams, or even roadside ditches. They come up on dry land to sun themselves or to lay eggs. Other turtles live completely on land. Still others live in warm seas, sometimes following warm currents far northward.
The name "turtle" is often used to identify those animals that live in water. The name "tortoise" frequently refers to a turtle that lives on land. The American Indian name "terrapin" usually refers to small freshwater turtles, especially those used for food. But these groupings are not strictly scientific. In this article, all of these animals will be referred to generally as turtles, though the proper name for a specific animal, such as Galápagos tortoise, will be used.
There are some 250 kinds of turtles. They range in size from tiny bog turtles about 3 inches (7 centimeters) long to leatherbacks almost 9 feet (2.5 meters) long that weigh 1,500 pounds (680 kilograms).
A Turtle's Shell
A turtle's shell is made of two parts that are joined at the sides by bony bridges. The upper part of the shell is called the carapace, from a Spanish word for "shield." The lower part is called the plastron, from an Italian word for "breastplate."The carapace and the plastron are made up of many small, flat, bony shields, or plates. These plates are fused with (joined to) the turtle's backbone and ribs and parts of its shoulders and hips. The bony plates are covered with broad, thin scales called laminae. The laminae are made of material something like your fingernails. (The hawksbill sea turtle was once hunted and killed for this material, which was called tortoiseshell. Before plastics were developed, tortoiseshell was widely used for combs, the frames of eyeglasses, and other objects.) The laminae give a turtle its color. Depending on the kind of turtle, this color may be brown, black, or olive green. (The plastron is usually lighter than the carapace.) These dull colors blend perfectly with a turtle's usual surroundings.
Some turtles, however, have brightly colored markings. Spotted turtles are covered with polka dots. More spots develop as the turtles get older. Painted turtles have bright red, yellow, or orange borders on their smooth olive or dark-brown shells. The colors are so bright that they look as though they were painted on. The bright colors may help turtles find one another. Scientists have discovered that turtles see colors and are especially sensitive to red.
Turtle Defenses
As a rule, turtles that spend all or part of their time on land rely on their hard shell to protect them from the teeth and claws of hungry animals. Otters, raccoons, crocodiles, snakes, bears, and large birds are some of the animals that prey on turtles. A typical land turtle draws its head, tail, and legs into its shell for protection. The stout, scaly legs form a sort of armored door. Other turtles, such as the freshwater box and mud turtles, can shut up their shell completely. The plastron of these turtles is hinged and, when closed, fits firmly against the carapace.
Mud and musk turtles defend themselves by hissing and withdrawing into their shells. They have a further means of defense. They can give off a bad-smelling yellow fluid called musk. Some scientists think this odor may also serve to attract a mate. Other turtles squirt out water or body wastes when bothered.
A few turtles drive off their enemies by biting and clawing. The snapping turtles, for example, are quick to attack with a vicious bite. A snapper has a small plastron. Its legs, tail, and neck do not fit into the shell. However, the snapper has other defenses. Its tail is armed with a ridge of spines, and its snapping jaws take care of the front end. The soft-shelled turtles also rely on their sharp claws and crushing jaws for defense.
How Turtles Breathe
The turtle's rigid shell prevents the animal from breathing in the usual way, that is, moving the ribs to fill the lungs with air. The turtle's ribs are firmly fixed to the inside of its shell, so in order to breathe the turtle uses two special sets of muscles. One set pulls the other body organs away from the lungs, filling the lungs with air. Then a second set of muscles pulls the organs against the lungs, forcing the air out.
One deep breath may last a turtle several hours. Some freshwater turtles can remain underwater for several days (except during hibernation, when they can remain underwater for several months). They do this by lying still on the bottom, thereby using up very little oxygen. Some kinds can even take a little oxygen from the water, as a fish does, by using specialized body tissues.
In climates where the ground and water freeze in winter, turtles survive the cold by hibernating. They may burrow in the muddy bottoms of ponds or streams or crawl under decaying vegetation. When a turtle hibernates, it uses up very little oxygen. Even if it spends months underwater, a hibernating turtle does not have to come up for air. Its body does not have the same oxygen needs that it has when the turtle is active during the warmer months.
How Turtles Move
Turtles are famous for the slowness of their movements. And most turtles do move slowly on land, their legs sprawled awkwardly out to the sides. A box turtle, for example, heaves its body along, clawing at the ground, with its toes spread wide apart. If it falls on its back, it has a hard time righting itself.
The turtles that live entirely on land are the slowest and most awkward of all turtles. They have high, domed shells and stumpy legs that end in small feet. Most of these turtles walk on the tips of their toes. This is true of the largest land turtles as well as the smallest. A giant tortoise of the Galápagos Islands in the Pacific may have a weight of 500 pounds (227 kilograms) or more to move.
In water, however, turtles move more easily. Most freshwater turtles are good swimmers. They have webbed feet and smooth, arched shells. Strangely enough, freshwater turtles can move more quickly on land than most land turtles can. The members of one family can even run. These are the soft-shelled turtles, which have a soft, leathery skin (instead of horny scales) covering the bony plates.
Ocean turtles move awkwardly on land. But in water they swim steadily along with strong, winglike strokes of their huge flippers. A sea turtle, such as a hawksbill, a loggerhead, or especially the green turtle, is somewhat streamlined. Its body is heart-shaped, tapering toward the tail. Its front flippers are longer and stronger than the hind ones.
Most turtles will eat anything they can catch. This may be earthworms, snails, slugs, insects, mussels, shrimps, fish, frogs, or even small birds and mice. The ocean-dwelling green turtle feeds mainly on seaweeds. Land turtles, too, often eat plants. Map turtles, mud and musk turtles, snapping turtles, and most other water-dwelling turtles eat dead animals from time to time.
A turtle has no teeth. However, its beak has sharp edges and its jaws are strong. A turtle seizes its prey and holds the wriggling creature in its beak. If the prey is too large to be swallowed whole, the turtle uses its claws to tear off pieces until the food is small enough.
Land turtles feed as they go, shearing off bits of leaves, flowers, or fruits when they feel hungry. The green sea turtle grazes on underwater plants. Other sea turtles actively swim after jellyfish, crabs, and other slow-moving creatures. Freshwater turtles for the most part hunt in a different way. They lie on the bottom of a pond or river and wait for something to come along. This is what the snapping turtles do, for example. Because they are poor swimmers, these animals hide in the mud. But when a snapper sees something moving in the water, such as a fish or the legs of a bird, its long neck darts out and its sharp beak grabs the prey.
Reproduction and Life Cycle
Turtles may mate on land or in the water, depending on the species. After a single mating, female turtles may store sperm in their bodies and lay fertilized eggs for several years.
All turtles lay eggs on land. They lay their eggs in warm, sunny places, usually not far from water. The eggs of most turtles are oval, but some are round. Some eggs have soft, rubbery shells; others have hard, brittle shells. They may be as large as tennis balls or as small as kidney beans. The eggs are usually white.
When a female turtle finds a good spot to lay her eggs, she starts digging, first using one hind leg and then the other. When the hole is as deep as her legs can reach, she starts laying her eggs. Most turtles lay from two to 25 eggs at a time. Sea turtles may lay 150 or more.
When all the eggs are laid, the female turtle fills in the nest with sand or dirt. Once she has completed her task of concealing the nest, the female turtle goes back into the water or moves away through the underbrush. She has no further interest in her eggs.
The beginning of a turtle's life is a very dangerous time. Bears, skunks, raccoons, and other animals may dig up and eat the eggs. And even if the eggs hatch, birds, lizards, and other hungry animals may gobble up the tiny young turtles. People also use turtles for food. Many kinds of turtles and turtle eggs are eaten throughout the world.
If the young turtles survive until adulthood, they may live a long time. Turtles live longer than any other animal except people. Some turtles are known to have lived more than 100 years. But a very large turtle is not necessarily an old one. Turtles reach their full size in less than ten years. After that, turtles continue to grow, but very slowly.
Instincts and Migration
All turtles have good eyesight and hearing. They also have a good sense of smell and touch. In addition, some and perhaps all turtles have a sense that seems unrelated to the usual senses. This sense is more like an instinct. It is responsible for controlling turtle behavior during various stages of the animals' lives. For example, when water turtles of any kind hatch, the hatchlings promptly make their way to water. They do this even when they cannot see the water. Scientists think that a turtle can somehow distinguish the difference between light over water and light over land.
Some green turtles seem to have a "compass sense." They may cross more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) of water to their nesting grounds on Ascension Island, an island halfway between Africa and South America. The turtles arrive at Ascension in December. They remain there until June, laying eggs every twelve days. Scientists tagged some females during one nesting season. Later a few of the tagged turtles were found feeding on seaweeds off the coast of Brazil. Three years later some of the females returned to the island beach where they were tagged. They laid their eggs in the same stretch of beach.
Such long-distance migrations still puzzle scientists. They know that strong ocean currents carry the young turtles to the coastal waters of Brazil. But why do the turtles return to Ascension Island? And how do they find their way there against the current during the thousand-mile journey? Perhaps some day we will better understand the behavior of these fascinating reptiles.

What skills does an orchestral player need to play operatic repertoire? Can you play in the orchestra pit without understanding the on-stage action? Young musicians from the Hallé Youth Orchestra have been finding out alongside artists from the Royal Opera House during a number of coaching days and workshops in both London and Manchester. As part of the Stage Players project, the talented teenagers focused on The Tsar's Bride and Peter Grimes; two very different operas that would help them understand the demands and skills needed to be a pit musician.
The youth orchestra visited the Royal Opera House for two days full of highlights, including a chance to watch Mark Elder conduct a sitzprobe (a seated rehearsal where the singers sing with the orchestra) in the main auditorium with a full orchestra and singers. Directly after rehearsing, Mark was happy to answer any questions they had about the music or the role of the orchestra. The young musicians spent the next day in a Royal Opera stage-size studio immersed in a full rehearsal schedule. They rehearsed alongside mezzo-soprano Anne-Marie Owens and baritone Elchin Aziziv and had coaching sessions from players of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. The young players rose to the challenge of Rimsky-Korsakov's music as they played alongside world-class singers.
Listen: to a recording of young musicians from across Greater Manchester improvising around the music of Peter Grimes from the Stage Players project.
Many of the young players continued to work back in Manchester, in an intensive weekend focusing on Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes. The Manchester workshops were opened up to include a wider group of young musicians from across Greater Manchester where they discovered the characters and dramatic themes of the opera, as well as exploring how Britten uses the chorus throughout. As most of the young people were completely new to Peter Grimes, these workshops gave them a real flavour and understanding of the opera. They began to have opinions on the characters and Britten's orchestrations, and when they sat down to play excerpts from the opera, they were able to adapt their playing and support the singers in a way they hadn't before.
We're really excited to see the group again in June when they visit the Royal Opera House again to watch Peter Grimes.

Experts Work to Conserve Global Ocean Ecosystems
WASHINGTON (Feb. 28, 2012) – The Pew Environment Group announced today six recipients of the 2012 Pew Fellowship in Marine Conservation. They are from Brazil, Cuba, France, Peru, and the United States.
The 2012 Pew Fellowships in Marine Conservation will support projects to promote green infrastructure for climate adaptation in coastal communities, expand marine areas in Brazil that areunder protection, shift the Peruvian anchoveta industry toward directly feeding humans, identify climate-driven changes in fisheries, analyze French fisheries subsidies, and conserve goliath grouper populations in Cuba, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico.
"The individuals added to this year's Pew Fellows Program in Marine Conservation are talented experts who will make important contributions to protecting the ocean environment worldwide," said Joshua S. Reichert, managing director of the Pew Environment Group. "We are proud to honor them as they work to foster greater conservation of the world's living marine resources."
The 2012 Pew Marine Fellows:
· Michael Beck, Ph.D., is lead scientist of the Global Marine Team at The Nature Conservancy. Dr. Beck will encourage adaptation strategies that use the natural properties of coastal systems, such as coral reefs and wetlands, to reduce climate related impacts on developing coastal communities.
· Guilherme Dutra is the marine program director at Conservation International in Brazil. Mr. Dutra's project will support the expansion of the Abrolhos Marine Protected Area Network in Brazil and use that process as a model for advancing marine protection in the country.
· Patricia Majluf, Ph.D. At the time of her selection, Dr. Majluf served as the director of the Center for Environmental Sustainability at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia in Peru. On Feb. 25, she was appointed Peru's vice minister of Fisheries. As a result, the start of her fellowship will be deferred. Dr. Majluf's fellowship project will aim to reduce the negative impacts of the anchoveta reduction fisheries of Peru by creating new markets for the industry to supply fish for direct human consumption.
· Stephan Munch, Ph.D., is a research faculty member at UC Santa Cruz and a fisheries ecologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Dr. Munch's project will create tools to identify climate-driven changes in fisheries demographics.
· Claire Nouvian is president and founder of Bloom Association in France. Ms. Nouvian will research and analyze how existing subsidies to the French fishing sector impact long-term economic and ecological viability.
· Fabián Pina Amargós, Ph.D., is a researcher at the Centro de Investigaciónes de Ecosistemas Costeros in Cuba. Dr. Pina Amargós' project will provide critical scientific information about goliath grouper in Cuba and develop a comprehensive plan of action for grouper conservation.
"The 2012 Pew Marine Fellows bring extraordinary talent to address the critical and complex issues facing our oceans," said Polita Glynn, director of the Pew Fellows Program in Marine Conservation. "We are proud to welcome this year's Pew Marine Fellows and add their diverse experience to our global marine conservation program."
The Pew Fellows Program in Marine Conservation has awarded 125 fellowships to individuals from 32 countries. Each Pew Marine Fellow receives US$150,000 to conduct a three-year scientific research or conservation project designed to address critical challenges to the oceans. Through a rigorous nomination and review process, a committee of marine specialists from around the world selects Pew Marine Fellows based on the strengths of their proposed projects, including their potential to protect ocean environments. Unique and timely projects, led by outstanding professionals in their fields, are chosen annually. The program is managed by the Pew Environment Group, based in Washington, D.C.
More information about each of the 2012 Pew Marine Fellows, including photographs and a video about the recipients, is available at www.pewmarinefellows.org.

I liked this book. It is funny and scary at the same time. One funny part is when Jack and Annie play music, a lot of ghosts start dancing. My favorite part was when Jack and Annie eat a beignet (a kind of doughnut) because it reminds me of eating one during my trip to New Orleans 2 years ago. My favorite character in the book is Jack because he is smart and always records facts.
I recommend this book to anybody who has read the Magic Tree House series. It is another great adventure.

Mayor Greg Fischer has outlined impressive goals, including his vision of Louisville being the most compassionate city. His Give A Day initiative the week of April 15-22 coincides with National Volunteer Week and has a goal of drawing at least 55,000 local volunteers. Data about volunteerism in Louisville and Kentucky is not as world-class. A 2010 survey by the Corporation for National and Community Service ranks Kentucky 40th in the U.S. for volunteer participation. Louisville did not fare much better, ranking 31 out of 51 cities for volunteer rates, and falling behind neighbors like Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Nashville. Louisville has a thriving nonprofit community, but the data suggests that perhaps we are taking our nonprofits and their invaluable services for granted. It is up to us, as individuals and employers not only to support Give A Day, but to invest in the long term health of our nonprofits and our city. Nonprofits are suffering budget and revenue challenges in the recession too, and volunteer efforts are vital to their ability to continue to impact the community and assist those in need.
Why is this Important?
Nonprofits contribute to a healthy community by providing much needed services. They tutor students, help the elderly remain at home, feed the hungry, shelter victims of domestic violence, assist the homeless, comfort the dying, provide after-school programs to at risk youth – the list could go on and on. This year, I am taking part in the Leadership Louisville Center's Ignite Louisville program, which allows me to team up with other young professionals and get hands-on experience benefiting local nonprofits through the Yum! IGNITES Louisville Challenge. My team is working with YouthBuild Louisville, a 10-year-old nonprofit based in Smoketown, and I was immediately struck by their impact in our community.
YouthBuild acts as a champion to young adults in Louisville, helping them realize their potential and become strong, confident people with a commitment to work, education, family and community. The program focuses on five areas: education, career vocational training, community service, social services and career development and placement. Most of the participants have dropped out of JCPS, are reading below grade level, and are struggling to find the right path.
It's not for me to speculate where these young people would be if YouthBuild and programs like it did not exist, but what is clear is that the organization fosters the development of educated, engaged members in our community. Since 2001, YouthBuild has graduated 323 participants with 86 percent of students obtaining a GED and/or vocational training certificate. In the past three years, 45 students have attended college, helping the Louisville community meet its goal of 55,000 college degrees in the next 10 years. The other major tenet of YouthBuild's mission is community service. Each student completes 675 hours of service during their program year. Since its inception, YouthBuild Louisville students have built 10 new homes, rehabbed 15 homes, created 200 community gardens and developed three miles of trails in local parks. These young adults are working so hard to build their own lives and still manage to contribute so much to our city. I think that is something worthy of the community's support.
Powered by people
It starts with you. Individuals working together are at the center of social change, demonstrating their collective power to create positive transformation. Volunteering is ultimately about helping others, but there are plenty of benefits for the individual too. World Volunteers Web has research indicating that 73 percent of employers would recruit a candidate with volunteer experience over one without. Other studies show that people who volunteer regularly live longer, enjoy greater levels of life satisfaction, and suffer less depression. If nothing else, you are sure to expand your social circle, tap into new hobbies and interests and probably develop new skills.
Part of being a good corporate citizen is creating a culture of civic engagement. Many employers have signaled support for Give A Day Week, including Yum! Brands, Humana, Brown-Forman, and Chase Bank. At 21c Museum Hotels, President Craig Greenberg has set a goal of 100 percent participation for the company's 200 employees. To aid employees in their efforts, 21c formed an internal committee to coordinate volunteer opportunities. Additionally, the property is hosting a public donation center that will include a Red Cross Blood Drive and food collection point for Dare to Care. However companies choose to involve their employees, the first step is to communicate that volunteering is a priority, and that they have the support of the company to participate. In return, companies get well-rounded employees who experience greater job satisfaction.
My hope is that we not only meet the goals that our Mayor set out for us, but that we far exceed them. Let's show our nonprofits the support they need to continue their work in our community.

Right now, space travel is all about carefully moving between orbits. If you want to go from Earth to Mars, you wait until the two planets are correctly aligned, and then place yourself into an elliptical orbit around the sun so that the apoasis of the orbit hits Mars. You only have to make a single, long burn at the start of the orbital change, and if you do it right you'll fall into a neat Martian orbit.
Using this method, it takes quite a long time to get to Mars! It seems that most of the work getting there is done by gravity - the craft's engines only do a little.
It's as if the craft is a transistor - its engines provide a little seed current so that gravity can do the rest.
I suppose we do it like this because fuel is hard to get into space, and our engines are not very good. 100 years from now, when these are no longer issues, how will spacecraft move from one planet to another? Will they still think about orbital changes, or will they just point towards the target and hit the accelerator?

This anime allows J.C Staff stopping a little animating the titles with tsundere and pettanko character voiced by Rie Kugimiya, so it's over ! Now, AIC will take over the place to animate Hidan no Aria. For Aria's VA, I thing that will be Yuka Iguchi, the voice of Index (To Aru Majutsu no Index) and Chise (Mayoi Neko Overrun!).

I'm no good on the names of the seiyuu so I need to use wiki to even know those names.
But if Shotaro Morikubo is the one who voice honda in major.... hmm. I think a more series one is better specially in hysteria mode different in voice or tone is good thei to distinguished the two.
from the wiki's past works I'm okay with Mamiko Noto
Ayako Kawasumi is also okay for Riko's playful character
Aoi Yuki their isn't much to say about this girl I like all her role.
Like I said I'm no good with seiyu that I need to check on the past works so I can't suggest on who to voiced out.
But spring wouldn't be that bad.

Doncaster romp to Yeovil win
Doncaster secured a comfortable 3-0 victory at Yeovil to make a winning start to the campaign.
Last Updated: 09/08/14 6:37pm
Doncaster secured a comfortable 3-0 victory at Yeovil to make a winning start to the campaign.
Curtis Main, Harry Forrester and Theo Robinson bagged the goals for Rovers who, along with the Glovers, are looking to bounce back to the Sky Bet Championship at the first time of asking.
The opening exchanges of the game were dotted with mis-placed passes as the cogs on either side shook off the rustiness of the summer break.
Main put Doncaster ahead after eight minutes. The new recruit from Middlesbrough pounced on a weak clearance, before dinking his finish past the onrushing Chris Weale.
Yeovil - featuring seven new faces in the starting 11 - were slow to start but were barked into finding a swift response by manager Gary Johnson from the sidelines.
A quick-fire leveller was almost supplied by defender Aaron Martin who rose to meet Sam Foley's corner, only to see his header ripple the side netting.
The lively Nathan Tyson proved a constant thorn in Yeovil's side in the opening half an hour and almost tucked a second past Weale, who was quick off his line again, but the finish lacked power and was easily cleared by former Southampton defender Martin.
The Somerset side's new front two struggled to click early in the first half with Kieffer Moore blazing a shot over the home terrace before the former non-league man squared for Ajay Leitch-Smith, but he could not stretch to reach the pacy pass.
Doncaster manager Paul Dickov was irked on the stroke of half time when he felt that Martin should have been shown red for tugging back the breaking Tyson, rather than the yellow brandished.
The two sides were promoted and relegated together in the past two seasons but it was Johnson who would have had the sternest words at the break as his disjointed Glovers failed to really test former loanee Jed Steer in the Rovers goal.
The early stages of second half continued in much the same manner with Yeovil wasting numerous set-pieces, much to the frustration of the home faithful - and Johnson.
Gradually, Yeovil edged themselves into contention, but the Yorkshire side were gifted a second goal as keeper Weale came racing out of his area, but was far too sluggish and arrived second to Forrester who floated his finish into the gaping net.
Johnson expressed his displeasure by hauling off Moore, Foley and James Berrett and introducing former Doncaster hero James Hayter among the trio of substitutes charged with salvaging a result. But no such onslaught of pressure arrived.
Weale failed to learn from his previous forays out of the box and was chipped for a third time in the dying seconds by substitute Robinson - cue boos from the home crowd at full time.

The latter donation came as part of the distribution of Samuel H. Kress's remarkable collection of European old master paintings to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., as well as collections such as the Honolulu Museum of Art's in regions where Kress five-and-dime stores served the public. Highlights include a serene depiction of St. John the Evangelist with an asp writhing on the rim of a chalice, rendered by Piero di Cosimo around 1504-1506, as well as a psychologically vibrant portrait of a man of 1553 by Giovanni Battista Moroni, one of the few Italian artists to specialize in likenesses during this period of humanist interest in the individual. The Italian High Renaissance is present in masterworks by Piero di Cosimo and Pintoricchio, while its Northern counterpart is at hand in the work of Aelbrecht Bouts and Albrecht Dürer.

Charity fundraiser collects sports gear and musical instruments for kids in need.
Fans came out in full force to support Gear for Goals' fundraising effort to bring sports and music to kids in need and over 2,000 pieces of sports equipment and musical instruments were donated during the event. The Schaumburg Boomers Baseball League also donated gear to the cause.
Founding director, Dr. Warren Bruhl says, "So many children around the world have virtually nothing. They have no soccer balls, no baseball mitts, absolutely no equipment to play with and have little hope for a brighter tomorrow. However, our abundance in the United States and our gently used sports gear and even musical instruments can be a Godsend to a child. Everyone has something in the garage or closet going unused and they just want to know someone will put it to good use. That's where we come in and provide the resource to connect the need with the generous giving."
Since Gear for Goals' launch the summer of 2012, over 7,500 pieces of sports equipment and uniforms have been provided to underprivileged children around the world.
"Our heartfelt thanks go out to the Boomer's fans and to the Schaumburg Boomers as well for making this event such a success," stated Bruhl. "Equipment donated will make a difference in a child's life and will help bring them joy of sport and of music, but mostly, hope."
Gear for Goals' Mega Sports Gear and Musical Instrument Drive sought to fill a semi truck with donated gear to benefit children in need. In total, G4G aims to provide equipment to over 10,000 children globally this year through their 10,000/$10,000 campaign.
Supporting the effort was G4G's Youth Ambassador, Jared Kuper who threw the opening pitch of the game. Jared is on a mission to raise awareness for childhood diabetes and with his new appointment with G4G, to impact the lives of children around the world.
The event also featured a performance by pop/singing songwriting duo, Acoustic Truth, composed of Ryan Knott and Sarah Lendy, who performed "Save the Children" during the pre-game festivities.
In addition to G4G's team of volunteers including world renowned photographer Dan Borris who was on hand to capture the event, Josh Kerman who led a live DJ performance, and dance instructor Jennifer Eirinberg who choreographed G4G's flash mob dance, other participants included individuals from Volunteer Match who came out to support the cause.
G4G currently ships to 12 countries including the Dominican Republic, Kenya, Bolivia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Russia, Philippines, Jamaica, India, and Ukraine. For more information about volunteering or ways you can join the effort, visit http://www.dreamweaver911.org.

DARIEN, Ga., Feb. 21 (UPI) -- The oldest fortified settlement in North America has been discovered in Georgia, giving insights into the early colonization of the New World, researchers say.
Fort Caroline, a long-sought fort built by the French in 1564, had long been thought to have been built near modern-day Jacksonville in Florida, but researchers say its actual site has been discovered 70 miles to the north -- in Georgia.
The site is on an island at the mouth of the Altamaha River, two miles southeast of the city of Darien, they said.
"This is the oldest fortified settlement in the present United States," historian and Florida State University alumnus Fletcher Crowe said. "This fort is older than St. Augustine, considered to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in America. It's older than the Lost Colony of Virginia by 21 years; older than the 1607 fort of Jamestown by 45 years; and predates the landing of the Pilgrims in Massachusetts in 1620 by 56 years."
To make the discovery, Crowe flew to Paris and conducted research at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, the French equivalent of the U.S. Library of Congress, where he found a number of 16th-century maps that pinpointed the location of Fort Caroline.
Some of the maps were in 16th-century French, some in Latin, some in Spanish, and some were even in English, he found.
Crowe was able to match French maps from the 16th to 18th centuries of what is today the southeastern coast of the United States with modern charts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Geological Survey.
Although the site has been confirmed, it has not yet been excavated by archaeologists, a release from Florida State University said.
