Is there a project trying to ressurect mammoths?

Like the plot to Jurassic Park, I heard a while ago, that some scientists are trying to track down DNA from mammoths so that they might cross it with elephant DNA and produce a half mammoth/half elephant. Apparently this would be marginally easier than bringing back a dinosaur, as they really do find mammoths with their hair and hence their genetic codes intact. Does anyone know any more about this?

I hear that they were trying to do this with the Australian Tiger too. Is this really a good idea?

In theory it is all possible.
However in practice, the DNA quality is not sufficient to inject into into an egg. This egg would then have to be inserted into a female elephant womb (how easy can that be!!)
DNA degrades with time and unless it is all intact this is , at present, beyond us. it may be possible in the future however.

The ETHICS of doing this are another matter. Which species should be resurrect from the dead if it were possible? Are all species equal in their right to be resurrected?
What would be the point: as zoo exhibits or to find a new biological niche, if it could be found.

LSU Tigers - Coaches Leading LSU to the National Championships

Life is about competition. We work our way to meet our goals. It is not an easy ride but it is something that we must do in order to progress. Everyday we go to school to be competitive in our future jobs. In our everyday jobs, we work our way to get a promotion and a salary raise. However, we do not do it alone. There will always be people who will take part in keeping us on track with our everyday challenges just to reach the end goal. Sometimes, those people are whom we call our guardians, our parents, our counselors or even our life coach.

In sports, whether team or individual, there will always be one person or more to watch out for the team. Of course, they do not act as a police patrol to keep reprimanding the team what not to do. However, they are there to discipline, train and keep the team on track with their goal to win the championship match in every league they join. One of the sports that have many coaches is football. A team full of big and tough men needs more than one person to handle them. However, there will be only one coach that manages the team overall and they are the head coaches.

Let us now look at the coaches of the LSU Tigers football team, who helped them win national championships.

1. Paul Dietzel- He led the team to win National Championships way back 1958. Coaching for this time was one of the best years he had. American Football Coaches Association and Football Writers Association of America named him National Coach of the Year at the time they won the National Championships. He loved the team so much and led them to become the number one in the country. He quoted, "I never considered going anywhere else because I thought LSU was the best coaching job in America"

2. Nick Saban- He was the head coach of the team from 2000-2004. He made history when he led the team to win their second National Championships in 2003.

3. Les Miles- He is the current head coach of the team. He has been helping the team to perform at their best whether it is nationals or just SEC championships. One of his greatest achievements was to lead the team to win the BCS National Title Game last year. It is one of the most important events in the history of LSU Tigers as he made this team the only team to win two BCS national championship titles.

In the field of sports, coaches play a vital role in winning. They can see through the strengths and weaknesses of every player and use that to create a successful play. You can love the most valuable player in the team but in the hearts of the players, they know they were not alone in winning. Great football coaches serve different teams across America and it happened that LSU was blessed enough to make great college football history with their coaches.
