Industrial Fishing Leaves Sea Lions Searching for Lunch
by Brian Smith, Campaign Manager, Earthjustice
— Our thanks to the organization Earthjustice ("Because the Earth Needs a Good Lawyer") for permission to republish this article, which was first published on January 21, 2015, on the Earthjustice site.
Recently, Earthjustice filed suit against the National Marine Fisheries Service on behalf of Greenpeace and Oceana for allowing industrial fishing in protected areas of the western and central Aleutian Islands. The regulatory agency's decision doesn't bode well for the endangered western population of Steller sea lions, whose numbers remain abysmally low thanks to decades of intense fishing in the area.
First listed as endangered in the 1990s, Steller sea lions are the largest member of the Otariid (eared seal) family, with the males growing up to 2,500 pounds. To maintain a healthy weight, Steller sea lions must consume large quantities of fish every day. Adequate prey is especially important for female sea lions that need to eat enough fish to feed themselves and their nursing pups, who may stay with their mother as long as three years. Unfortunately, industrial fishing fleets harvest millions of tons of the same fish consumed by Steller sea lions, so when industrial fishing fleets harvest within or too close to their habitats, sea lions go hungry.

Zangqa leaves Blitzbokke
Mon, 21 Oct 2013 06:52
Springbok Sevens assistant coach Vuyo Zangqa will not renew his contract and will be stepping down from his current position with the South African team.
Zangqa was offered an extension on his contract, but has decided to pursue other career opportunities once his contract expires at the end of the month.
"We are disappointed to see Vuyo go but we wish him all the best with his career choice," said SARU CEO Jurie Roux.
Zangqa cited personal reasons for his decision and thanked SARU for the opportunities afforded to him since 2007, when he made his Springbok Sevens debut as a player.
"I would like to wish the team all of the best for the rest of the Sevens World Series season," said Zangqa.
The former Sevens star could link up with former coach Paul Treu who has been linked to the vacant job as coach of Kenya.

Teaching Children
I'm the IT guy at a couple of schools, and my partner, who's a teacher at one school, would like me to give some art lessons to her kids. Does anyone have any advice on how I should start? It's going to be a class of grade 1 kiddies, and I'm not quite sure where I should attack from. I've thought of teaching them some simple face tutorials (manga-ish), but then I think "Should I be teaching observational techniques over a step-by-step approach?".
I'll be doing some hunting about online later, as well as checking into the library, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Chris Bowden

I would definitely teach them some basic how-to-see stuff before going in to head drawing tutorials. It'll depend on how the class is, but even first graders should be taught a bit about the basics about light and shade and color It'll be hard to hold their attention for long but you could give a brief explanation of the color wheel to them and make an activity out of it, maybe printing out a bunch of black and white ones that they can color in themselves. Next I would show them how the same color can have different values (difference between coloring hard and light) and then go for still lives of balls and cones and similar simple shapes and show them how if something is light on one side it'll be dark on the other and that shadows are really important (for grounding things, but that'll be a little beyond them probably). Let them play with that for a while and then I would say show them how to build up basic simple cartoony figures and things using circles and lines and mebbe the basic proportions of a human face. Attention span will probably be your biggest problem, and the library and internet will be your greatest friends. Good luck!

Keep it simple and keep it fun. Even simplified manga-esque face tutorials are going to be too much for most first graders. Playing around with color is good. Introducing them to the idea of drawing from observation in some sort of simple way is also good, just be aware that there are basic developmental things, both mental and in terms of muscle control, that haven't happened by that age.

I agree with Elwell. Keep the lessons simple and will maintain there attention for longer than 5 minutes. Unfortunately, children at such young ages will have no desire to sit down and draw something accurately. I've taught a range of 1st through 6th graders. Suprisingly, they have a much higher attention span while they watched me draw than themselves. So give some lengthy demo's. Kids are very visual learners. And if you give a complex assignment, take them through it step by step. Kids at a first grade level associate art with fun and not work, so make the projects fun .
June 4th, 2007 #5
Yeah. . . kids that young are all about playing and (when something interesting is going on) watching. They wont be ready for anything resembling practice for something fun that comes later. But if you, say, set up a toy robot and sketch a picture of it in front of them(especially if you can talk to them while you draw), theyll be riveted, and on their own theyll be drawing robots for weeks. :-)
I was outside painting a plain old rock in a field a few weeks ago. My painting was awful, but some pre-teen boys spotted me at work, and to my surprised they were amazed at what I was doing. It was eye-opening for me. I had forgotten that this stuff is magic to the uninitiated.
Congrats on the opportunity to teach! Sharing what you know can be so very gratifying.
I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education. All of the advice that I have to offer can already be found in the following links. Thank you.

Short and simple, gotcha. I must say I am surprised that colour theory, even in it's simplist form, is recommended over drawing. My learning was the other way around, but I can see where you're coming from. I didn't think of shading simple objects. That could be a really good outcome, as it's easy to make things look more realistic with shading in mind.
Much appreciated peoples! I still seek more advice if there is more to be given. Even sample lessons would be nice to see, though I don't want to over ask your knowledge. @:-D
Should be really fun. Maybe I can convince the teacher to a painting lesson. Messing around with paint with a room full of kids doing the same could be really awesome!

they're like 6 years old. teach them something simple like how to do shading with a pencil or blend colors. or bring something really cool (a big preserved bug or a peice of army equipment?) in and get them to draw it. teach them how to trace shadows from an overhead projector and decorate it somehow (tip: kids love using glitter and "fun" art supplies like that), or teach them how to trace body parts out of a caricature book and have them draw themselves or a friend. anything that keeps them entertained without you having to constantly entertain them, but keeps them out of trouble at the same time. you can also do projects for any upcoming holidays. something for 4th of july or something.
and remember their attention span is about 30 seconds. good luck!!

I suggested starting with color because it's something that fascinates young kiddies and will hold their attention a lot longer than black and white. My art school experience was that the hand doesn't get to touch the color cookie jar until it has had a year or two of grayscale drawing classes. Fortunately my attention could be held by more than glitter at that point. But the others have a point - the kids will be fascinated if they watch you draw something if you can draw it fast enough, and will practice for ages. The face is neat just because so few people know the easy basics, like the eyes are (relatively) halfway down the head, nose half of that, and mouth half of the remainder. It's an easy way for them to start seeing things differently. Plus, color is applicable to a lot. If color theory breaks through to any of them it can help not only fingerpainting, but to see how colors work in nature, take an interest in what they wear eventually, and even how to design the places they live when they get older. It's one of those things that could be fun to do with 6 year olds and still make them THINK. Even if they don't really apply it for years I sure wish I'd known some before my Mum let me dress myself in middle school *sigh*

Did you say grade 1? Forget observation. Show them what a flip book is, and let them make one. Show them a bouncing ball, squash and stretch. Keep it simple and fun. Show them how simple shapes can be put together to create characters ( check out Little Peep). These are very little kids.

Valo V13 Alex Broskow (coffee) Pro Boot Only
Brosky likes his skates like he likes his coffee. Smooth, strong and with caramel complexion ...lucky he wasn't a rasberry frappacino kind of guy. The Valo V13 Alex Broskow Pro Model is the first V13 pro model and has been coined the Valo V13 'coffee'. It's awesome to see so many of the Valo team shredding the original Roces M12 boot (re-branded) so hard and really proves the point "if it isn't broken don't fix it". Keep in mind the M12 boot is now over 20 years old and has sold in excess of a million skates in that time. Broskow decided to keep the Roces style UFS soul kit in black (although remember you can still put Valo soul kits on). The Broskow pro-model is using the Valo TV liner like in the Valo TV skates and Valo LIght models The Valo V13 AB Pro Model is sure to be a massive hit with the OG's looking to re-live the golden days or young bucks eager to be in Broskows shoes (skates).
Check out the promo edit Broskow just released on the "watch video" tab above.
- Weight of Individual boot in a UK7: 1.1kgs
- Brown (coffee) colour
- Roces UFS Soul kit
- Valo cuff (slightly lower then original M12 Cuff)
- Valo TV liner
Size tip: The Broskow skates are using the Valo Light style liner which is a little thicker than previous Valo V13's. This is making the skate feel a little small. We'd recommend buying 0.5-1 sizes up from your regular size and allowing yourself sufficient time to 'bed-in' the liner.
Worried about size? Don't. We offer a free size swap.

Gorgeous, but tight fitting
Written by
I purchased these chocolate harpies purely for the steal price of £75. They make great power blades and are exquisite to look at, but i found they were a little tight for me (I run a comfortable UK6 in just about every other skate on the market). Though Loco offer a great refund / exchange poliy for sizing issues, I couldn't actually bring myself to part with them. I can still get a session or two out of them but they get more use from my girlfriend (who is one size smaller than me). Far too beautiful to consider sending back, and she thinks she got an out-of-the-blue present, which is even better. Fast delivery, incomprehensible price and one of rollerblading's most "majestic" icons rendered in a shade of brown that will have your favourite leather jacket turn green with envy. 100% happy.23rd Jun, 2015

Full circle.

I must admit it's great that these valo/roces skates are back (not that they ever went away, just had skins on them.) as it gives the kids of today an idea of where we older guys started. I must admit I prefer these original soul kits to the standard valo one as the back side plates are huge. The liners are described as thicker than normal valo liners and wow they really are, I'm a snug 7 even a 6 in other skates these liners were very tight so I had to put my older valo liners in and fit fine. One thing I am still getting used to is the amount of flex in these v13 skates, this isn't a bad thing and may well just be me, but thought I would mention it either way. So yeah an all round good skate and wouldn't expect anything less seeing as this mould has been used for years and years, was even an ice skate mould I believe. Anyways just goes to show that I should of kept my m12 all them years ago and saved my self trying every skate out there seeing as I am enjoying these like I was a teenager again haha. Enjoy.9th Nov, 2014

- Hey. I use size 7 Tv3 and im planning on getting this in size 7 too. If it feels too tight for me, can i swap with a David Sizemore V13 at size 8? And will there be any additional charges?
As long as we have stock of both the skates in question, then yes that's fine. You will be required to cover costs of getting the skates back to us, and if you are out of the UK you will be liable to cover the costs of delivery of the new skates back to you. Gaston.
- If I buy these skates is there a chance that I might win Winterclash next year!?
There's always a chance
- Will you have them in a size 9 again
Apologies, no. These are all gone now in uk9! I'm chasing the supplier to see when we have any Valo V13's coming into the country in a uk9. I should have some answers in a couple of days if you wanted to give us a call/message.
- Will there ever be a restock in size 11 or should I risk going for a 10?
They won't re-produce this skate now I'm afraid. The UK10 uses the same outer shell as the uk11 so you could potentially make it work for you. I think you'd have to replace the liner with another one as the Broskow liners fit quite small for their size. Maybe you have an old set of size 11 Valo liners knocking about. Alternatively we could try and dig you some out and sell you them cheap with the skates (give us a call on the phone to do this)
- I skate a size us 8 in razor sl's and im really keen on buyin these skates, will I need to upsize to a us 9 or can I just stick to a us8?
Go for the US9. It's the same shell as the US8 and you will just have a bit more room in the liner (the liner is what makes these skates fit small)
- What size should i pick if my feet are 271mm? J
Hi J. The Broskow skates come up a little small so I'd recommend buying one size up form your regular shoe size (best not to base it on actual mm measurements as the spread of the foot can make this an inaccurate way to judge size)
- Hey! I skate the razor aragon 5s in a size 8, and I getting these soon so do you think to get a size 8 in these? I had a go on some size 8's and they fit mint apart from around my toes it was more 'tighter' or 'padded' then the rest? but there was no pain what so ever though!!? (just snug?) hahaha...
Hi Connor - sounds like you are in a better position than me to make this decision if you've tried some of these on. If you tried some of the standard V13's on (rather than the Broskows specifically then please remember to take into account that the Broskows fit a little tighter than the regular V13 skates)
- I'm a EU44 in USD VIIs. What size would you recommend in the valos? Also, is another signature bot due out soon? thanks
We have no news of any new models at this time. The broskow fits a little small so maybe go up to a 45 (that will depend on what model of VII's you are skating though)
- If i had USD carbons size 9(uk) and they were too narrow, should i look at a size 10 in this boot?
Hard to say exactly but that sounds like the most logical idea. The Broskows are fitting quite small.
- Hi i'm buying these on Friday when i get payed. are u able to swap the souls on these for the white ones or is that not possible. Also while i'm here do u know when u will be getting any more size 3 ( 11-13 ) GC Featherlite 2's in stock. Thanks for your time.
Hi there - Apologies, we are unable to do a soul swap on this particular model. Souls ARE available as a separate aftermarket item though. :-) Availability and new stock of the GC frames is very limited now as they are end of line (the FLT3's come out in the next couple of weeks). Try giving us a call at the shop on the day of your order though incase we have some odd White featherlites come available on that particular day (it can happen sometimes due to Boot-Only sales)
- Apparently he made the coffee skate because, and I quote "he grind so fine". Can you confirm?
All I know is that he likes his coffee tall and dark with a hint of decadence.
- Not really a question about this specific skate but along the same lines. In broskows nyc edit he is wearing white valo13/m12 do you know if these are on general sale. cheers
No these are currently not on sale. I believe there was a exclusive model for the Russian market made around that time. They might have been them.
- how do these skates fit would sizing down be an option
No. The liner in these is thick so they fit small. Quite a few people have found that they needed to buy a size bigger in these. It varies with each individual though. If you want to squeeze into the smallest size possible I think that buying just your regular shoe size in these will be the best decision.
- Hi! If I am skating razors sl size eu45 (UK10) and they fit perfectly for me, should I choose the same size for these valo too or take one size bigger? Also, is the eu45 and eu46 (UK10 and UK11) same shell? Thanks!
Hello Niklavs, the Valo's are quite a narrow fit, so if you have wide feet you may need to go up a size from your regular shoe size. The size 10 and 11uk shell is the same with the Valo, just with slightly different liners.
- Are the soul plates as fast as the two piece? (I'm gutted that the size 5 lights are out of stock)
I'm not sure of the exact compounds but I would assume they are very similar (and therefore similar speeds)
- Is there anyway u guys could put a black buckle on and if so how much will it cost?
Yes. See black Valo buckles.
- when you order a quantity of 1, do you only get 1 boot, or a pair?
All our skates are sold in pairs. (1x left and 1x right!)
- What frames and wheels would you recommend to buy for the boot? Light as possible? Harry.
Hi Harry. This is completely your personal preference. GC Featherlite 2, Kizer Fluid 4 and Youth Co frames are all super light though.
- Are they still in preorder stage? Any news on release date?
Hi Anton. These are now fully available and pre-orders have been shipped. [30/04/14]
- if I pre-order these and order wheels and bearings at the same time, will you ship the wheels out along with the skates when they become available, or would you ship wheels before hand?
In this situation we'd usually contact you after your order to see what you'd like us to do. You can leave a note in the comments to save time though if you like!

From the moment I could walk, talk or understand the spoken word, there was only one voice that was in my house, in my parents' cars, even in my ear when I went to camp or snuck a transistor radio into school -- Vin Scully.
"Mommy! Get that ball!" My 5-year old calls out as I'm walking out the door holding a coffee in one hand, a water bottle under my arm, my 40-pound pocketbook over my shoulder, two camp knapsacks over the other arm and a bag of dirty clothes for the dry cleaner.
What can the Major League Baseball Hall-of-Fame do for an encore of 2014? It needs to continue to honor those who played the game the right way, and still shun those who brought dishonor to the game of baseball.
If the Mets' true vision is be competitive in 2015 -- not this season -- then general manager Sandy Alderson has about four days to decide if the Mets will be buyers or sellers at the July 31 trade deadline.
Ryan Vogelsong got off to a great start. He retired the first nine batters he faced but unraveled in the fourth. Again he got no run support as the Giants got shutout 5-0 by the Dodgers.
You hear a number of sports pundits clamoring about throwing out the records of those who have used performance enhancing drugs. But really, everyone knows how impractical that would be.
On July 26 in Cooperstown, New York, most of the focus will be on Hall of Fame inductees and a prestigious group of managers. There is another honoree, however, to whom attention must be paid: arguably our greatest living baseball writer.
Hall-of-Famer Tony Gwynn was conspicuously not mentioned at the 2014 MLB All-Star Game. Could it be because later in his life, Gwynn was critical of chewing tobacco, blaming it for the cancerous tumors that eventually took his life?
Don't look now, but baseball's hottest team is the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, who entered the All-Star break with a 57-37 record, 1 1/2 games behind the first place Oakland Athletics in the American League West.
Why is pay equality good in some settings but bad in others?
He consistently got on base and was a canny base runner. He was the teammate to be counted on. Plagued by nagging injuries, he showed up and played no matter how he felt. Although he was an All-Star, he did the little things day after day and challenged his teammates to do the same.
Baseball is halfway through the season and the All-Star Break is upon us. This lull in the normal game routine gives me my own hiatus to reflect upon what I love about baseball.
The All-Star game is the fans' game. They vote for who will take the field, and it's not always the players with the best stats. Yes, this can be frustrating at times, but democracy is a beautiful thing.
I'm going to be a pest this week and get a song stuck in your head, but it's an OK song, so it won't be that bad. And you'll definitely remember the s...
On July 4, 1939 a frail Henry Louis Gehrig stepped in front of a packed crowd at Yankee Stadium. The Manhattan-native knew he was sick, but he was unaware that his illness (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS) would soon claim his life.
The idea that something as serious as World Series home-field advantage will be decided by a hobbled Derek Jeter starting at short or possibly without White Sox ace Chris Sale is infuriating to any fan of the game. I'll highlight the biggest problems with this year's All-Star crew.

Antarctic Ice Sheet Is Result of CO2 Decrease, Not Continental BreakupClimate modelers from the University of New Hampshire have shown that the most likely explanation for the initiation of Antarctic glaciation during a major climate shift 34 million years ago was decreased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. The finding counters a 40-year-old theory suggesting massive rearrangements of Earth's continents caused global cooling and the abrupt formation of the Antarctic ice sheet. It will provide scientists insight into the climate change implications of current rising global CO2 levels.
