RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA, December 21, 2011 (Press-News.org) With long hair that earned him the nickname of "Pony Boy," Alan Kemp won three Golden Gloves Championships and 12 professional wins as a middleweight boxer in the 1970s. The current boxing coach for the Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Association (MMACA), Kemp was recently inducted into the Buffalo Boxing Hall of Fame. Inductees are voted on by members of the Ring 44, the Buffalo Veteran Boxers Association.
Kemp started boxing at age nine and turned pro in 1972 with an 81-second knockout of Jimmy Jenkins. After retiring after many successful matches, Kemp wanted to stay with the sport he loved and became a trainer; he is currently a USA Boxing Coach based in Orange County, Calif.
"With Alan's toughness, intelligence and dedication, we couldn't ask for a better boxing coach for our certification program and we're very proud of his induction into the Buffalo Boxing Hall of Fame," said John Spencer Ellis, founder of the Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Association.
The online MMACA certification program is designed for personal trainers, coaches, martial artists and MMA participants interested in acquiring both athletic and business skills required for successful mixed martial arts coaching, and Kemp focuses on the boxing portion of the program.
Introduced to boxing by his father, who helped him learn self-defense skills after he was picked on by some neighborhood bullies, Kemp added, "As a boxing coach, I strive to bring some of the same passion and dedication to the sport that my father did so generously. I didn't know then that I wasn't only training for boxing - I was training for life. It is quite an honor for me to join such a distinguished array of boxers in the Buffalo Boxing Hall of Fame."

In hot water: Ice Age findings forecast problems
2011-12-21
The first comprehensive study of changes in the oxygenation of oceans at the end of the last Ice Age (between about 10 to 20,000 years ago) has implications for the future of our oceans under global warming. The study, which was co-authored by Eric Galbraith, of McGill's Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences, looked at marine sediment and found that that the dissolved oxygen concentrations in large parts of the oceans changed dramatically during therelatively slow natural climate changes at the end of the last Ice Age. This was at a time when the temperature of surface ...
Blue Steel Acquisitions Says Ireland has Plenty of Work Opportunities
2011-12-21
Blue Steel Acquisitions observe Australia as one of the few countries that have not entered recession. The economy is booming, and with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the world the work there is plenty. Over the next few years Australia will require tens of thousands of skilled migrants, especially those with a background in medicine, nursing, engineering, and construction. Blue Steel Acquisitions have noticed with employment opportunities in Ireland scarce and employers seeking only experienced workers, many Irish people are now considering immigrating to Australia.

Will Antarctic worms warm to changing climate?
2011-12-21
Researchers at the University of Delaware are examining tiny worms that inhabit the frigid sea off Antarctica to learn not only how these organisms adapt to the severe cold, but how they will survive as ocean temperatures increase.
The National Science Foundation study, led by Adam Marsh, associate professor of marine biosciences in UD's College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment, also will compare the process of temperature adaptation in the polar worm, known scientifically as Capitella perarmata, with that of a close relative that inhabits temperate waters, Capitella ...

University of Nevada, Reno using new technology to record Antarctic Ocean, ice temperatures
2011-12-21
RENO, Nev. – Half-mile long thermometers have been dropped through the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica that will give the world relevant data on sea and ice temperatures for tracking climate change and its effect on the glacial ice surrounding the continent. The study based at the University of Nevada, Reno is funded by the National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs and other NSF grants.
"This technology is allowing us to do something never before done; to record continuous temperature data in and under the ice shelf," said Scott Tyler of the University of Nevada, ...
Study reveals turn 'signals' for neuron growth
2011-12-21
Irvine, Calif., and Arlington, Texas -- Researchers at UC Irvine and The University of Texas at Arlington have discovered how spinning microparticles can direct the growth of nerve fiber, a discovery that could allow for directed growth of neuronal networks on a chip and improve methods for treating spinal or brain injuries.
Michael Berns, the founding director of the Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic at UCI, and Samarendra Mohanty, an assistant professor of physics at UT Arlington, are coauthor of the paper, which is now available online and will appear in ...
Sensing the deep ocean
2011-12-21
Futuristic robots may be coming soon to an ocean near you. Sensorbots are spherical devices equipped with biogeochemical sensors, that promise to open a new chapter in the notoriously challenging exploration of earth's largest ecosystem—the ocean.
The devices are being designed and developed in the laboratory of Professor Deirdre Meldrum, ASU Senior Scientist and Director of the Center for Biosignatures Discovery Automation at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute.
Much of Meldrum's genomic research focuses on deep ocean environments and leverages her extensive ...

Lower classes quicker to show compassion in the face of suffering
2011-12-21
Emotional differences between the rich and poor, as depicted in such Charles Dickens classics as "A Christmas Carol" and "A Tale of Two Cities," may have a scientific basis. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have found that people in the lower socio-economic classes are more physiologically attuned to suffering, and quicker to express compassion than their more affluent counterparts.
By comparison, the UC Berkeley study found that individuals in the upper middle and upper classes were less able to detect and respond to the distress signals of others. ...
Early dietary experience shapes salt preference of infants and preschoolers
2011-12-21
PHILADELPHIA -- Researchers from the Monell Center report that 6-month-old infants who have been introduced to starchy table foods – which often contain added salt – have a greater preference for salty taste than do infants not yet eating these foods. Reflecting their greater liking for salty taste, the exposed infants consumed 55 percent more salt during a preference test than did infants not yet introduced to starchy foods.
At preschool age, the same infants were more likely to consume plain salt, demonstrating the enduring influence of early dietary exposure. The findings ...
