This picture was taken when Eyjafjallajokull blew up and spread all of the ash in the sky. I think this is one of the coolest pictures I've ever seen.

One of the 32 Chilean miners that was trapped beneath the earth for 69 days wanted to run in the NYC Marathon. His name was Edison Pena. He said that he ran up to 6 miles a day around the tunnels of the mine. He ran in his huge mining boots which caused him to have a slightly hurt knee. He said he was motivated by the spectators to keep running even though he felt a lot of pain towards the middle of the race. He eventually finished the 26.2 mile race in just under 6 hours.

Great Barrier Reef
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2044585,00.html
The great barrier reef is one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. It covers a bigger area than Italy but is in big trouble. It has been in trouble for years now but people have just decided to do something about it now. There are very little fish and sharks in the reef and there used to be millions. A big cause for this had recently been the major flooding in Australia. The flood waters run back into the ocean which goes strait for the barrier reef. In these flood waters there are big amounts of agricultural fertilizers which causes major algae blooms. There is also a a lot of pollution in the water. This reef and reefs around the world are getting destroyed due to an over amount of pollution. If nothing is done to fix this then the reefs will disappear.

Paleo Diet
http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2044343-1,00.html
40,000 years ago nomadic hunters had the best diets out of anyone in the world. They would hunt down there prey which requires a lot of sprinting. It would usually consist of a big woolly mammoth. A very good source for meat and protein. Then they would have to carry the meat back to the village. Besides that they would grow small amounts of vegetables. This was the reason all of the people back then were in such good shape. The Paleo Diet has been a popular idea and is being considered by a lot of people in the country. This way of eating is more developed for our genes as well. Eating with this kind of diet would help people be much more fit. But eating isn't the only battle. The proper exercise is very important as well. Unfortunately there is a huge controversy in what kind of exercise. Should it be a short and quick workout or a long distance run. The way people did it 40,000 years ago was a short sprint for food and a long haul of the heavy meat. This is a very extreme diet but it would be interesting to try.
