[Update 13-Jan - more info] Evolution of complexity recreated using 'molecular time travel'
By JOHN EASTON - EUREKALERT!
Updated: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:53:11 UTC
[Update 13-Jan] article from arstechnica added
Our cells are filled with complexes that can contain dozens of proteins, all with precise interactions that ensure the complex comes together and functions in a consistent manner. These complexes, which can contain dozens of individual proteins, often have activities that mimic those of human-produced equipment, and have earned the nickname "molecular machines" accordingly.
If a molecular machine requires so many precisely positioned parts to function, how could it possibly evolve? That question has been part of a populist attack on evolution but, contrary to its proponents, scientists have a number of ideas about the evolution of this machinery. It's just that those ideas can be very hard to test, since we can't go back in time and look at the predecessors to today's machines.
Advances in DNA sequencing, however, have allowed us to calculate what the earlier proteins must have looked like. And scientists have now started to engineer DNA sequences that "resurrect" these long dead proteins, and examine how they function. In the latest work of this sort, a team has resurrected parts of an ancient molecular machine, and shown how some of its specialized protein components evolved.
The complex in question is an ATP-driven proton pump. It burns ATP, the cell's power source, and uses that energy to send protons across a membrane. In this case, the pump controls the pH of a compartment within the cell, which is necessary for survival under certain conditions. But its very similar to a far more important complex, the one that runs in reverse and harvests differences in proton concentrations to make ATP, and thus provide power to the cell.

Scientists find that small, high-probability mutations can produce complex system
Much of what living cells do is carried out by "molecular machines" – physical complexes of specialized proteins working together to carry out some biological function. How the minute steps of evolution produced these constructions has long puzzled scientists, and provided a favorite target for creationists.
In a study published early online on Sunday, January 8, in Nature, a team of scientists from the University of Chicago and the University of Oregon demonstrate how just a few small, high-probability mutations increased the complexity of a molecular machine more than 800 million years ago. By biochemically resurrecting ancient genes and testing their functions in modern organisms, the researchers showed that a new component was incorporated into the machine due to selective losses of function rather than the sudden appearance of new capabilities.
"Our strategy was to use 'molecular time travel' to reconstruct and experimentally characterize all the proteins in this molecular machine just before and after it increased in complexity," said the study's senior author Joe Thornton, PhD, professor of human genetics and evolution & ecology at the University of Chicago, professor of biology at the University of Oregon, and an Early Career Scientist of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
"By reconstructing the machine's components as they existed in the deep past," Thornton said, "we were able to establish exactly how each protein's function changed over time and identify the specific genetic mutations that caused the machine to become more elaborate."
The study – a collaboration of Thornton's molecular evolution laboratory with the biochemistry research group of the UO's Tom Stevens, professor of chemistry and member of the Institute of Molecular Biology – focused on a molecular complex called the V-ATPase proton pump, which helps maintain the proper acidity of compartments within the cell.
One of the pump's major components is a ring that transports hydrogen ions across membranes. In most species, the ring is made up of a total of six copies of two different proteins, but in fungi a third type of protein has been incorporated into the complex.
To understand how the ring increased in complexity, Thornton and his colleagues "resurrected" the ancestral versions of the ring proteins just before and just after the third subunit was incorporated. To do this, the researchers used a large cluster of computers to analyze the gene sequences of 139 modern-day ring proteins, tracing evolution backwards through time along the Tree of Life to identify the most likely ancestral sequences. They then used biochemical methods to synthesize those ancient genes and express them in modern yeast cells.
Thornton's research group has helped to pioneer this molecular time-travel approach for single genes; this is the first time it has been applied to all the components in a molecular machine.

Identity Management
The Federal Cloud Credential Exchange should simplify online credentialing of citizens, but systems that authenticate agency employees might be tougher.
Traditionally, the task of managing users' digital identities has involved maintaining an on-premise identity management system. The system enrolls users, manages information about their identities and keeps track of what resources they are authorized to access. It authenticates users by prompting them to provide credentials, such as a username and password or smart card.
Once that information is verified, the system authorizes the user to access certain resources in accordance with the user's identity and role in the organization.
Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12, which established the personal identity verification (PIV) card as a standard federal employee credential, has spawned numerous identity management systems at federal agencies.
Although in-house systems are still the norm, agencies have begun to explore cloud-based identity management. The Federal Cloud Credential Exchange, the first major test of the cloud approach, focuses on citizen access to agency resources and aims to provide an authentication service that spans all agencies. It will let people use third-party credentials to access multiple federal resources online, thereby freeing agencies from maintaining their own systems for authenticating users.
A tipping point for biometrics?
Naomi Lefkovitz, senior privacy policy adviser at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, said FCCX will help agencies avoid the expense of credentialing the same person multiple times, which also makes life easier for the user.
"Those are really the efficiencies — and the good customer experience — we are looking for," said Lefkovitz, who co-led the FCCX Tiger Team that identified the cloud system's requirements and technical architecture.
Cloud-based identity management could also be a boon for agencies that operate shared services and need to authenticate employees from multiple government organizations. The Interior Department, for example, issued a request for information earlier this year regarding a software-as-a-service (SaaS) identity management solution. The department's Interior Business Center, which provides human resources applications to some 40 agencies, would use the system to help its customers access those applications.
Agencies attracted to cloud-based identity management could avail themselves of commercially available SaaS identity management products from vendors such as CA Technologies, Centrify, Okta and Ping Identity.
The benefits of moving identity management to the cloud include speed of deployment, fewer maintenance needs, reduced costs and simplified upgrades, said Philip Kenney, CA Technologies' senior director for security.
Testing the waters with public users
FCCX could emerge as the most visible manifestation of cloud-based identity management in government. The project is an outgrowth of the White House's National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC). That initiative, launched in 2011, seeks to create an identity ecosystem that would let individuals tap private or public identity providers for trusted credentials, which could be used to log into multiple resources.
The notion of setting up a service that multiple agencies can use for authentication is not exactly new, said John Bradley, senior technical architect at Ping Identity. He worked on the National Institutes of Health's iTrust identity solution, parts of which date back to 2003.
Still, Bradley said, he is uncertain how the Federal Cloud Credential Exchange will fare as a shared service run by the U.S. Postal Service.
"It still remains to be seen how much traction that actually gets across agencies," he said. "Most of the agencies are still sort of focused on doing it in-house."
The important barrier might be economic rather than technical: Who will pay the cost of credentialing users, and how will that cost be distributed across participating agencies?
The fate of FCCX might "hinge more on the...ability to distribute the load equally as opposed to any technology magic," Bradley said.
Today, people typically must create accounts with each agency's identity management system. This approach "creates a burden to the citizen to manage a username and password for each agency application they need to access — as well as a costly burden on each agency to issue and manage these usernames and passwords," the FCCX solicitation states.
FCCX will rely on third-party credentials, particularly those issued by identity providers certified by the Federal Identity, Credential and Access Management initiative. Accredited providers include Citibank, Google, Symantec and Verizon.
Lefkovitz offered this example of how FCCX would work: Someone who wanted to check his or her Social Security Administration benefits would visit the SSA website, which would present a list of the third-party credential types the site accepts. The user would choose one of the third-party providers and be redirected to the provider's login page to enter his or her credentials. The user would then be sent back to SSA's website.
Lefkovitz said FCCX provides the hub through which the redirection between third-party providers and agency websites takes place. The relationships among the parties are streamlined: Each participating identity provider and agency needs to do only one integration with the hub.
The SSA scenario is merely an example because the agencies and applications that will participate in the FCCX pilot are still to be determined, she added.
The hub is moving closer to reality, however. The FCCX Tiger Team began creating the conceptual foundation about a year ago. Now the General Services Administration provides the program office that handles policy and governance activities, while the U.S Postal Service runs the FCCX procurement. A USPS spokeswoman said the agency will select a vendor for the cloud hub this summer.
With FCCX on the way, that means many agencies' first exposure to cloud-based identity management will be on the public-facing side rather than an internally focused system that authenticates employees. That sequencing could prove popular because agencies that have already invested in on-premise identity management for employees might want to test the cloud on external users.
Kenney said the preference is especially likely among agencies with extensive identity management systems. "It is much easier to consider using a cloud service to take on new populations — citizens, for example — and comply with cloud-first directives," he said. "Most organizations maintain separate repositories for employees and customers/citizens today anyway."
That does not mean agencies will not use cloud-based systems to authenticate federal users. Interior's RFI states that the agency seeks a SaaS-based identity management system that lets subscribers use the same credentials to access multiple resources.
Tom Kemp, CEO of Centrify, said he is seeing growing interest in the company's cloud-based identity services products. More than 60 federal customers have deployed the company's on-premise identity management products, and the cloud-based wares are also "starting to get some adoption in the federal government."
He said most of the company's discussions with agencies involve smaller-scale projects, but a few are considering enterprisewide deployments that would involve tens of thousands of users.
"They are...looking to move into some SaaS apps and wanted to have cloud ID as well," Kemp said.
Preserving users' anonymity
Moving identity management, or portions thereof, to the cloud entails clearing a few obstacles.
Kemp said adopters should consider whether an identity management solution stores usernames and passwords in the cloud. He said Centrify performs authentication in the cloud, but users' credentials are stored in an on-premise Active Directory system.
He said buyers should also check to see whether SaaS vendors support open standards and protocols such as OAuth, OpenID and Security Assertion Markup Language.
Lefkovitz, meanwhile, cited privacy as a key consideration for FCCX because sensitive credentials will be moving through the hub.
"We want this hub to know as little as possible about what citizens are doing," she said, adding that FCCX also needs to ensure that identity providers know as little as possible to protect user's privacy.
To preserve anonymity, FCCX will use numerical identifiers rather than usernames. The provider will send a numerical identifier to the hub so the hub does not know the user's identity. The hub then changes the number so the identity provider cannot determine the user's online destination and build a profile around the user's activity, Lefkovitz said.
She added that NIST is working with industry on a second layer of protection that involves a privacy-enhanced form of cryptography.
She called the cryptographic component the most challenging piece of FCCX's privacy component. But the project's pilot status means that the hub can be evaluated and improved before it is widely deployed.
"We are just trying to test it out and kick the tires," Lefkovitz said.

Hi John, thanks for the great article. You point to some interesting reasons why organizations are considering cloud-based identity management programs versus on-premise. However, companies undertaking this shift can compound their security vulnerabilities if they don't take the proper precautions ahead of time. Since data security in the cloud has yet to be full realized, organizations must ensure that effective governance practices are implemented before the transition takes place.
One way to safeguard against risks that stem from cloud computing is by incorporating process-based and cross-departmental organizational controls that proactively preventing access policy breaches. In addition, System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) is a standard we are adopting for cloud services provisioning, that you may find interesting. This is our approach at N8 Identity, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts: http://n8id.com/
This is E-Authentication re-visited. I'm glad to see this gaining traction again. This will help to reduce security risks related to identity management, such as weak passwords or shared passwords, and will save money by reducing the amount of time help desks spend resetting user accounts. It will also improve customer satisfaction since the customer will no longer need to remember another password.

Best Summer Bodies
You won't find any CGI behind these celebrity six-packs. Our annual collection of the world's most fit entertainers earned the honors the hard way. Click the start button below to see The Best Summer Bodies of 2013 and kick-start your own beach-ready transformation. Then see which female musicians and athletes Women's Health voted as the world's Sexiest Bikini Bodies.
25. Jake Gyllenhaal
It's been a long time since Jake Gyllenhaal has played anything resembling an action hero—that would be 2010's Prince of Persia—but that hasn't stopped the 32-year-old actor from staying committed to his fitness routine. Gyllenhaal reportedly packs his exercises together—lunges, bench step-ups, and squat thrusts in a fast, grueling routine, his trainer told Men's Health, and combines that with occasional spin classes near his Los Angeles home.
Massive muscles in minutes—do you have what it takes? Test your stamina and find out with The Men's Health 15-Minute Workouts.
24. Ryan Phillippe
Ryan Phillippe may be a former soap opera star, but unlike so many of his peers, he's never been one to cruise on looks alone. He pushes himself just as hard off the set as he does on it—his secret? Variety. Phillippe blends cardio with heavy weights and plyometrics to keep his body ultra-fit. Maybe that explains how he found the energy not only to star in the upcoming movie Shreveport, but also write and direct it.
To build a lean body, nutrition is key. Get targeted meal plans for rippling abs, bigger muscles, more energy and even better sex! Check out our POWER FOOD Nutrition Plan.
23. Mario Lopez
It'd be easy to write off Mario Lopez as simply some genetic freak—the guy just doesn't seem to age, nor does his body seem capable of putting on an ounce of fat. But he's not just lucky. Lopez, now 39—which seems unbelievable—is one of Hollywood's most vigilant stars when it comes to making time for his workouts. He even published a book, Mario Lopez's Knockout Fitness, in 2008. "Working out is about seeing how far you can go, about finding out what kind of stuff you're made of," he told Men's Health. "What kind of character do you have? Are you going to buckle, or are you going to make it? That's what it's all about."
Try the new, cutting-edge routine that will mold your midsection into a rock-solid work of art! Pick up a copy of The Spartacus Workout: Ab Attack on DVD today.
22. James Marsden
Take inspiration from James Marsden, guys: You can look great on the beach while still enjoying life away from it—that is, if you trust what he told us in an interview a couple of years ago. "You shouldn't have to give up things that you love in life," he said. "Yeah, you want to look good, but it's not necessary to look like the statue of David every time you take your shirt off. I'd rather look healthy, have a sound mind, and be comfortable in my own skin." Marsden looked as fit as he's ever been while vacationing in Hawaii during the Maui Film Festival in 2012, and at least a few producers must've agreed: The actor has eight films coming out this year, including the action flick 2Guns with Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington and the comedy Walk of Shame. James? Better schedule another beach vacation.
21. Derek Hough
Training celebrities in Latin dancing isn't the easiest job in the world, but you can't deny the benefits. Here's the lineup of women Hough has worked with since season 4 of Dancing With the Stars: Shannon Elizabeth, Brooke Burke, Joanna Krupa, Nicole Scherzinger, Shawn Johnson, Maria Menounos, and, well, you get the idea. After hinting at retiring from the show, Hough decided to come back for one more season—and was immediately paired with former American Idol beautie Kellie Pickler. Wise move, dude.
Discover the sexy dance skill that women can't resist.
20. Colton Haynes
Judging by Colton Haynes' resume, you might wonder if his agent has ever told him it's OK to accept a job that doesn't require taking off his shirt. In his early teens, Haynes modeled for Abercrombie & Fitch. His big break came while playing fan favorite Jackson Whitmore in the MTV series Teen Wolf. Now the 24-year-old actor stars as Roy Harper in the CW series Arrow. Haynes' reportedly packed on as much as 25 pounds of muscle for the role, which he revealed last summer on the beaches of Malibu. Getting big reportedly involved, "training, a lot of eating, a lot of steaks"—he said in a recent interview with E! Haynes could take inspiration from our all-new Grilling Guide.
19. Keith Urban
A couple of years ago, we named Kenny Chesney the fittest man in country music. Based on recent photos of Keith Urban, however, we might want to reconsider the honors. On a trip to Sydney, Australia with Nicole Kidman, Urban showed off a lean—and almost completely hairless—torso. Not sure we can support the Speedo, but we can, thankfully, support the 45-year-old's determination—both inside the gym and out of it. "When you are touring, the physical energy it takes to put on shows tends to keep you fit," he told us. At other times, he relies on a trainer to motivate him through four-days-a-week cardio workouts on an elliptical machine and light weight training. "Nothing over the top," he says. "What I need to start doing on top of that is yoga. It's hard, but it's definitely in my future."
Get the rest of Keith Urban's success secrets.
18. Alexander Ludwig
What a difference a couple of years makes. If you happened to catch Alexander Ludwig in 2009's Race to Witch Mountain, you would've remembered him as a scrawny little kid with superpowers who gets saved by The Rock. Two years passed between that movie and Ludwig's next role as one of the chief villains—Cato—in The Hunger Games. And it's clear what he was doing: Ludwig packed on 30 to 40 pounds of muscle in the downtime, and his fans rewarded him at the MTV movie awards last year with the honor of "Best Fight Scene." He'll get another chance, presumably, to show off those skills when he stars as a Navy SEAL in the upcoming Mark Wahlberg movie Lone Survivor.
Memorize these six Navy SEAL tips to achieve mental strength.
17. Blake Griffin
Blake Griffin and the Clippers took a big step forward this year, as the young star led the team to a franchise record 56 wins—and even more Sports Center-worthy dunks. That's in keeping with the 24-year-old's philosophy to keep challenging himself, working harder, never backing down. "In everything you do, you're going to face people more talented than you," he told Men's Health. "I set myself apart by bringing more energy than they do."

16. Ryan Gosling
At this point, we're a little reluctant to pile any more compliments onto Ryan Gosling's plate. The man could sneeze and still make half the women in the world swoon. He made Emma Stone shriek about his "photoshopped" abs in Crazy Stupid Love, he broke up a Manhattan street fight between an art dealer and a thief, he saved a British writer from being struck by a taxi, he carries his dog through airport security, he dresses better than us, and somehow he still manages to come across as a relatively laid-back, ordinary dude you'd want to buy a beer. These days, though, the 32-year-old actor sticks to a lean diet of green veggies, rice, fish, and intense Muay Thai training—which he'll need to look convincing when he hunts for his brother's killer in July's Bangkok-set crime thriller Only God Forgives.
Kick as much butt as Gosling with a gut-torching move from the Men's Health Fight Center.
15. Mark Wahlberg
There are plenty of good reasons Mark Wahlberg has been featured on the Men's Health cover more times than any other actor. For one thing, he's kept himself in phenomenal shape for decades. And even now that he's safely into his forties—when it's usually okay for leading men to go a little soft—he's still surprising us, packing on 40 pounds of muscle in three months to play a bodybuilder alongside The Rock in 2013's Pain & Gain. Pulling off that feat required committing to a diet that sounds borderline torturous—up to 12 meals a day, some of which required waking up in the middle of the night to wolf down protein. "I'd wake up at 4:30 every morning, have a nice big breakfast—a preworkout igniter—and then I'd hit the heavy weights, depending on the day and the routine for the day," he told Men's Health. "But it always involved lifting heavy, and mostly just lifting weights. And then a protein shake right after the workout. And then chicken, steak, fish, a little bit of pasta here and there. Just really overloading, meal after meal after meal."
Find out a few of Wahlberg's other secrets to bulking up overnight.
14. Ryan Kwanten
On True Blood, dim-witted town sheriff Jason Stackhouse may lack the ability to morph into a werewolf, summon ancient demons, or sprint five kilometers in the blink of an eye—but for one reason in particular, that doesn't stop nearly every woman in the oversexed town of Bon Temp from wanting to sleep with him, anyway. A six-pack, the show teaches us, is a superpower of its own—and Kwanten maintains his otherworldly midsection with a routine honed during his career as a competitive triathlete, running on trails all over Los Angeles. When he's not running, he's shadowboxing, or performing vinyasa yoga. The result is a total-body workout that not only saves him from the boredom of the gym but also reduces the physical stress that can cause injury and keeps him in shape year-round. "I'm not one of those actors who gets physically fit for a role and then loses it all again."
Stay fit forever with Ryan Kwanten's total-body workout.
13. Paul Walker
Go ahead: You can laugh about the fact that Walker's still doing burnouts on the big screen more than a decade after The Fast and the Furious premiered. It's hard to blame the guy: The piles of cash he earns from the long-running, indefatigable franchise enables the 39-year-old actor to pursue his other passions—like surfing, skateboarding, and Muay Thai kickboxing. Walker's not the kind of star who prefers to burn his calories on the treadmill or grunting next to a pile of weights. When we sent a writer to spend the day with him, Walker went straight to where he's most comfortable—the beach. There's even evidence to suggest Walker prefers the sand to the movie set. As his Twitter bio puts it, he's an "outdoorsman, ocean addict, adrenaline junkie... and I do some acting on the side."
Find out how the star of Fast & Furious 6 keeps his abs engaged year-round.
12. Liam Hemsworth
When your twin brother is asked to play a God—and does so convincingly—in one of the biggest movies of the year, you might just accept that he's officially earned alpha status for life. Or, if you happen to be Liam Hemsworth, you can step up and steal Thor's thunder—starring in that other blockbuster hit, The Hunger Games, after committing to a six-day-a-week training and cardio workout routine built around heavy weights and low reps. Not only did Hemsworth's shredded, 6'4 frame allows him to hold his own alongside the muscled-up heroes in The Expendables 2, it also, apparently, gave Miley Cyrus the confidence to call the emerging star a keeper—the couple remain engaged despite a flurry of break-up rumors.
11. Matthew McConaughey
Part of Matthew McConaughey's charm is that he's so laid-back he could make anything look effortless. It's easy to imagine him waking up, doing maybe 2 or 3 half-hearted situps, and somehow emerging with a chiseled six-pack. McConaughey's cool, however, masks a devotion to personal fitness that's as intense as any Olympic-level athlete we've ever encountered, as one writer found out when he trailed the actor on a steep climb up a hill in Real de Catorce, Mexico back in 2005. "When we get to the top of this, the whining's over. 'Cause a whiner is one who wishes to go back after he has already entered the inevitable," McConaughey told us. "At the top of this, the burn starts. It's the first time your mind gets out of the way. That's the meditative asset of exercise. The brain's working on surviving." No wonder McConaughey's career—and that six-pack—have continued to survive nearly a decade later—he played a veteran stripper in 2012's Magic Mike, and followed in 2013 with what many critics suggest is an Oscar-worthy turn in Mud.
10. Zac Efron
Imagine how easy it'd be for Zac Efron to cash in on his High School Musical cred and simply bask in the adulation of millions of young women—not to mention the millions in the bank. Instead, we found a guy who refused to trade on his looks alone, and who—intentionally—made life a lot harder on himself, accepting challenging roles like The Lucky One which required him to pack on 20 pounds of lean muscle. "Look, I was just a musical-theater guy," he told us. "I would have been happy to do that for the rest of my life. But there's something about me that's always searching for the more challenging route, and the actors that I really admire are always picking things out of their comfort zones, trying to stretch to see where they can go. It just seems like the road less traveled." Efron's continuing down that road in 2013, with roles in Parkland—a movie about the Kennedy assassination—and in the college comedy Townies, in which he'll play a rowdy frat brother alongside Seth Rogen.
9. Shemar Moore
If you haven't seen Criminal Minds, there's one other place you can't miss Shemar Moore: on the beaches of Miami, where photos of the 43-year-old actor tend to go viral every time he rips off his shirt. When Moore's not on set—which apparently isn't often, now that he's starred in a staggering 184 episodes of the drama—he stays active with a routine that includes a mix of cycling, lifting, and hiking. We have a few suggestions for where Moore might want to take his next trek—because, hey, the beach isn't the only place outdoors it's OK to go shirtless.
8. Usher
Much like his Voice co-host Adam Levine, Usher seems to find success in every venture he takes on. Ratings for the reality show remain strong despite the absence of Cee-Lo Green and Christina Aguilera. He's also reportedly at work on his eighth album—the first seven have already made him one of the wealthiest, most successful recording artists in history—and will even return to acting this year with a major, headlining role in Hands of Stone, in which he's been tapped to play boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard. Committing to the role meant adding intense cardio workouts to his already crowded plate. "If you see me running around the city in scorching weather with a sweatsuit," he told AOL's The Boombox, "you know that I'm getting ready for my role as Sugar Ray."
7. Hugh Jackman
Nothing against Les Miserables, but three hours of singing is enough to make almost any guy want to go Wolverine. Hugh Jackman must've agreed, since he announced shortly after completing his work on the musical that he'd be back as the most badass X-man of all in The Wolverine. And again after that in X-Men: Days of Future Past. "I must admit I was starting to see a life free of steamed chicken breasts," he recently joked to Entertainment Weekly. That dream will have to wait. As Jackman told Men's Health while he filmed X-Men: The Last Stand, "For Wolverine, I ramp it up," he said. "I do an hour and a half a day in the gym and eat a thousand calories more a day than I would normally. And I train really hard. I crank up the Godsmack and Metallica. I yell and scream, which helps me get into the character and have a bitch of a workout."
Got 15 minutes? We'll kick your butt and leave you with a rock-hard body.
6. Stephen Amell
Want a good sign that your heartthrob status is about to soar? When you start getting mentioned—routinely—in the same sentence as Ryan Gosling. For months, rumors have persisted that Gosling and Amell lead the list of young actors in the running to play millionaire playboy Christian Gray in the Fifty Shades of Grey movies. (Think Twilight for adult women.) And it's no wonder: The role, it seems, wouldn't be much of a stretch: Amell currently stars in Arrow, in which he plays—hmm—a former "spoiled millionaire playboy" turned superhero of sorts who hunts down criminals using a bow-and-arrow—all duties he tends to perform shirtless. In the pilot, Amell navigates an obstacle called the "Salmon Ladder" which you might recognize from the Ninja Warrior courses. Conquering it is much harder than it looks, but this American Ninja Workout will put you on your way.
5. Chris Hemsworth
In Hollywood, the expression goes, you're only as good as your next one—and if you're Chris Hemsworth, you must be feeling pretty good right now. Last year, Hemsworth's star rose in a big, big way, after nabbing the lead in three of the year's most anticipated franchises—Thor, The Avengers, and Snow White & The Huntsman. This year? He'll star in the sequels—to all three. While Hemsworth's agent might have it easy, the 6'4 Australian actor can't just cruise into the sequels. It'll require committing to the same, grueling training plan that made casting directors memorize his number. His secret? Variety. Hemsworth regularly switches up the weight, the reps, and how fast he lifts to avoid getting too comfortable.
Take the routine out of your gym regimen with Hemsworth's God of Thunder workout.
4. Kellan Lutz
Some guys simply look like they were born to hang out at the beach all day. While Kellan Lutz certainly has genetics on his side—the 28-year-old actor once modeled for Calvin Klein—nobody gets a six-pack and superhero pecs without putting in the effort. While getting in shape for Generation Kill and Twilight, Lutz combined light cardio with lots of core work—including pushup and situp contests with the rest of the crew. "You can't just build a huge chest and arms. You need to work out your body evenly," he told Men's Health. Lutz isn't about to lighten up now that he's no longer portraying buff vamps, either. This year, he'll star in the remakes of both Tarzan and Hercules 3D.
Get built for the beach with Kellan Lutz's abdominal-torching routine.
3. Matthew Morrison
On Glee, Matthew Morrison's character Will Schuester teaches high school Spanish, but off the set he looks like he'd be a better fit for gym class. Last year, we named Morrison one of the world's most surprisingly fit celebrities when a series of shirtless photos of the 34-year-old actor went viral. Morrison reportedly combines weight and resistance training with beach sports like standup paddleboarding and surfing to improve his balance and strengthen his abs.
Does your core need work? Try this world-class abdominal strengthening plan to get the results you want.
2. Channing Tatum
When Hollywood's old-school muscle guys faded away—with the exception of the occasional Expendables comeback—it left a void among leading men that, frankly, The Rock couldn't fill all by himself. Channing Tatum was one of the first and most dependable stars to step up his game, picking up the ass-kicking slack in action flicks like G.I. Joe: Retaliation and White House Down. But he took a lesson from Arnold and his ilk in another important way—he's been unafraid to flex his muscles for a laugh, whether it's as an undercover cop in 21 Jump Street (a sequel is already in the works) or on the stripper pole in Magic Mike.
Get a body worthy of an A-list warrior with this Skinny to Spartacus workout.
1. Joe Manganiello
Just when it seems like nothing can stop an angry vampire on True Blood, a shirtless Joe Manganiello tends to spring up. And that's precisely when you realize some bloodsucker could be in for a very bad day. Forget about superpowers; Manganiello knows where true strength derives from—he once worked in construction for a masonry company. His workouts are stripped down and no-frills, just like his hometown Pittsburgh. "Back home the guys in the gyms don't lift to look good; they're lifting to lift," Manganiello told Men's Health. "They do it because they want to squat more and bench more. It's all very practical. That's where I'm from and for me it's embarrassing to think that I would try and get away from that to fit someone else's idea of what a man should look like."

Learning webdesign...
Hello all,
I, much like you, am very new to webdesign and have had no proffessional training... just thought I would stop by and offer up a link to what i've found to be the single most useful resource in learning this craft:
Google has an incredibly vast amount of good information, but more importantly - it has a huge network of people that are willing to critique your site, and give you good solid advice, which I feel has helped me gain a better understanding of webdesign quite quickly.
You can check out the site i'm currently working on, it's my first site and is about 3 months old... if you have any questions please feel free to contact me via email.

Nice looking site...but as far as the coding you have quite a few errors, Also the top line should indicate the current version of HTML, as well your content is good but I'd Beef up the keywords.
Here's a couple example errors...
Error: NOSAVE is not a member of a group specified for any attribute
Error: element NOSCRIPT not allowed here; possible cause is an inline element containing a block-level element
Good Luck with your Site and Coding!
Maryann and Dale,
Thank you for the feedback. Dale, you are the first to mention those errors, so another thanks is due :-). Are you getting them on every page? I haven't yet had time to view the page in multiple browsers, only IE 6.0 (yes i know, I just haven't had a chance to download multiple browsers), is it possibly a browser compatibility issue with the SSI? I only learned SSI a couple of days ago so it is very likely I'm messing it up. Any addition feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.
Don Bedford
Here is a link that might be useful: The ultimate guitar tab website.
I went to Net Mechanic today, i've got a better understanding of where the error is located now. The errors are all part of the code I copy/pasted from counted.com - my hit tracking service (perhaps it's time to learn how to use log files with IIS?). Fortunately, becuase I'm using SSI, fixing the one file will automatically update all of my pages. Anywho, I'm off to figure out it's fix.
Oh yeah... to those who don't know it's out there...you can check your webpages for errors quickly at http://www.netmechanic.com
Thanks again.

The Faith in Action Alternative Spring Break trip seeks to bring together students from a diversity of religious and moral traditions to explore the issue of youth and homelessness. We spent spring break from 2009-2011 in San Francisco, and will be headed to Washington DC in 2012. Together, this group will work with a variety of community agencies serving homeless youth while learning about the complexity of this issue. By exploring service as a shared value across religious and spiritual lines, participants will have the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships and understanding within the context of religious difference and to delve deeply into personal visions of what it means to serve a community in the context of a life of faith. Students from all religious and moral traditions encouraged to apply! We will work with students to accommodate any religious dietary or lodging needs.

In lean times, consumers pinch pennies and eliminate most luxuries. From cutting back on extras to more prudent spending and budgeting, people inject a degree of caution into their financial habits. In such a volatile environment, smaller, local businesses count on your patronage in order to stay afloat; every transaction is precious to them. So when deciding where to spend your hard-earned dollars on tonight's dinner or a gift for a friend, consider the benefits of turning to local, independently owned businesses within your community.
There are far-reaching advantages to deciding to "shop local." By supporting local businesses, you are in turn supporting your local economy; significantly more money stays in a community when purchases are made at locally owned – rather than nationally owned – businesses. The U.S. Small Business Association and the U.S. Department of Labor report the positive impacts of small, independent business on local economies.
- Local businesses are more likely to utilize other local businesses such as banks, service providers, and farms.
- For every $100 you spend at local businesses, $68 will stay in the community.
- Independent retailers return more than three times as much money per dollar of sales to the community in which they operate than chain competitors. Independent restaurants return more than two times as much money per dollar of sales than national restaurant chains.
- Small businesses employ 77 million Americans and accounted for 65% of all new jobs over the past 17 years.
In addition to helping build the local economy, there are also notable intangible benefits that come from supporting businesses in your local community.
- Local businesses are owned and operated by your neighbors! They care about and are invested in the well-being of your community and its future.
- Local businesses are more accountable to their local communities and donate more money to non-profits.
- Supporting local businesses is good for the environment because they often have a smaller carbon footprint than larger companies.
It isn't always the easiest or most convenient option to visit a local independent business rather than a large national chain that might be down the street. However, there are plentyof ways you can help support your local economy in Massachusetts by thinking local first:
- Try the menu at a local restaurant for lunch or dinner
- Purchase a birthday present at a local gift shop
- Join a local gym
- Visit a local nursery or hardware store for your lawn and garden needs
- Get your car serviced at a local mechanic
- Visit a Massachusetts farmer's market to purchase the ingredients for your family dinner. There are Buy Local groups throughout the state advocating locally grown food products
So the next time you need to run out for some groceries or do a little shopping, seek out a local business and see what they have to offer! You could discover some great products and services while helping to build a strong and successful community around you.
Join the conversation and tell us about a great local business in your community by tweeting @massgov

Good News! Electric Car Subsidies Help The 1%!
Who profits from the electric car subsidies? This should make the Occupiers unhappy, but, since they support Obama and the Democrats overwhelmingly, they will barely make a peep
(Fox News) Once again, going green has taxpayers seeing red. This time however, billions in federal subsidies for electric vehicles are going those who need them the least: the 1 percent.
According to the CEO of General Motors, the average annual income of buyers of the Chevy Volt is $170,000. Those who buy the luxury electric Fisker Karma or Tesla roadster earn more than $250,000 a year. Yet every wealthy buyer receives a hefty handout from Uncle Sam, adding more than $7,500 to the federal debt for every car sold.
When all the federal and state subsidies to General Motors and its Volt suppliers are totaled, Hohman estimates each Volt sold costs taxpayers as much as $250,000.
"If you're wealthy enough to afford one of these electric automobiles more power to you," but Hohman says the handouts and tax breaks simply transfer wealth from the poor and middle class to corporations and the rich who can afford cars that cost as much as a small home.
Doesn't that make you feel great? Obama can play the class warfare card all he wants, but his policies have tended to help the 1%, of which Obama is part of. And his policies especially help the 1%ers who are campaign donors. And, while I support newer technologies that will provide us (eventually) with cleaner, cheaper, and more abundant power and vehicles, using money earned by hard working taxpayers to provide silly vehicles like the Chevy Sloth to people who want a status car is idiotic and deplorable.
Fortunately, there are plenty of plans to continue to provide the 1%ers with more free taxpayer money. In Raleigh, the city has built 29 electric vehicle charging stations, provided at taxpayer expense. The electricity is also free for the EV owners, paid for by the taxpayers. Supposedly, they will eventually charge for the usage.
In California, they will charge $2-$3 per charge, at a taxpayer cost of $1.3 million from a grant to build the stations.
In Detroit, electric cars and hybrids are flooding the Detroit auto show, meaning taxpayers will further fund the lifestyles of the rich. Remember, the Prius was a status vehicle early on, and has morphed into a usable vehicle. There are many usable hybrids out there, including some SUVs, like the Escape and the Highlander. But, then, hybrids can travel more than 50 miles at a clip, and they can use the air conditioning and heat. Until EVs can be purchased by regular people and take people on long trips, regular people will continue to buy gas vehicles that get great mileage.
