Stair Bobsledding: A Collegiate National Pastime


Stair bobsledding needs to be an Olympic sport in 2012.

It's probably too late to qualify for this summer's London games, but come 2016, if this guy keeps up his training (i.e. alcohol consumption) and avoids more than a half dozen serious concussions, he will be the consensus odds-on favorite for gold.

To inspire yourself before you attempt stair bobsledding at home, watch his astounding trial run below. All to go get a Swiffer mop. That's dedication, people.

PETA: Kool with Khloe, Hating on Kim


Following her sister's flour bombing last week at the hands of an irritating PETA activist, Khloe Kardashian announced to the world yesterday that she was through with the company for whom she posed naked in 2008 (below).

The Kardashian Klan

In response, PETA has issued a statement that basically say: we understand. But your sister still sucks!

"We appreciate that Khloé will remain on the animals' side by not wearing fur - that's what counts," a rep for PETA tells E! News. "If one of our volunteers is responsible, it doesn't alter the fact that no animal deserves to be electrocuted, shot or poisoned for a bit of fur clothing.

Khloé is just defending her sister, and we know she has a good heart, so we wish her well. We just wish she also had more influence on her sister."

Sigh. Talk about a battle where this is no winner. Whose side do you take in the PETA versus Kim Kardashian feud?

Early Exposure To Germs Has Lasting Benefits

Not entirely true. Grains harvested in the Mesopotamian region for the past 20,000 years contain a fungus that produces potent antibiotics. This was discovered by analyzing those who drank beer (albeit over a paltry 8,000 years) and finding the residue in the bones. Once the source was traced back to the fungus, it was obvious that anyone eating grains in the Middle East since the advent of farming (20,000 years ago) will have had "modern medicine".

http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/09/antibiotic-beer/ [wired.com]

Before then? Well, honey is another rich source of antibiotics. It's also a hygroscopic material, so applying it to burns will not only kill bacteria but will also reduce inflammation, build-ups of toxins, etc.

It's unclear when Neolithic man first developed brain surgery, but there's no question that he did and that patients survived.

So man has had a LOT of medical assistance for a very long time. Not as much as in modern times, true, but it wasn't zero. Not by a long way.

48 feet: 'It's a really, really, really long snake!'

A strange sight is accosting visitors at Grand Central Station here this week: a gigantic snake. A life-size model of the 60-million-year-old Titanoboa has taken stage at the train terminal, an advertisement for a new documentary on the Smithsonian Channel.

"That thing would swallow me whole," Grand Central visitor Sarah Bouroque said when she saw the giant snake. "I'd have to run and hide if I saw that thing in real life."

Remains of the ancient Titanoboa snake, which weighed in at a whopping 2,500 pounds (more than 1,100 kilograms) and a length of 48 feet (almost 15 meters), were first found near fossilized plants, giant turtles and crocodiles dating back to the Paleocene Epoch (about 60 million years ago). This was when the world?s first known rain forest emerged, and dinosaurs no longer ruled the Earth.

"It was an actual animal? A real animal? It's huge, that's impressive," visitor Chris Wood said, eyeballing the giant reptile. "It's pretty impressive ? I don?t know what to make of it, really."

The snake is situated on an elevated platform, stuck eternally ingesting an ancient crocodile. It is on display in Grand Central's Vanderbilt Hall, just off the main concourse. [ Photos of Titanoboa in Grand Central ]

Natalie Remor brought her kids to see the giant snake: "Oh, it's great, they love it!" Her son Ian was especially enchanted by the sight. "It's a really, really, really long snake!" he said.

The startling discovery of Titanoboa was made by a team of scientists working in one of the world?s largest open-pit coal mines at Cerrejon in La Guajira, Colombia.

Another visitor, Jason Panaro, said of the giant snake: "It really puts things in perspective to see things like that."

The life-size replica of Titanoboa is going on display at the Smithsonian?s National Museum of Natural History on March 30, but before it gets settled in at its new home in Washington, D.C., the monster snake took a side trip to New York City for a two-day "layover."

On April 1, Smithsonian Channel premieres a new documentary, "Titanoboa: Monster Snake," which takes an in-depth look at the process of discovery and reconstruction of this prehistoric giant snake.

Antagonia.net - In which I have an awesome weekend, full of pictures!!!

This past weekend, [info]_samalander came to visit for the first time.

The visit began with a conversation the night before. We exchanged phone numbers. I said ?In case there are a lot of big-haired ladies, I will be wearing a pink raincoat with a Mockingjay pin. Also I have a halo and am followed everywhere by a heavenly choir.? I think that helps people pick me out in a crowd.

Anyway, we found each other okay, if a little belatedly, at the bus station, and went back to my apartment in Queens. I had planned a little get-together than night, and had a bunch of friends coming by.

I have a very bad track record with parties. In elementary school, I was not only the bottom of the social ladder, but my birthday was in the summer, so I think I had a few parties where I actually had guest attendance in the negatives. I don?t know what that means, maybe that I had to go to their houses or something? I don?t know. When I turned 21, 20 people RSVPed yes to my party. Five people showed up. My parents had spent a ton of money on food and drinks, and I ended up calling my brother?s friends to round out the party. I kind of felt horrible about the whole thing. Anyway, I have a little bit of a complex about parties. So, I was sort of shocked when this one was extremely well-attended, and I assume that is because everyone heard Lauren was going to be there.

Anyway, it was a freaking awesome time. I made some awesome foods, including friend wontons full of PBJ as well as friend wontons full of nutella and bitter orange, and those were kind of the star of the party, even though I think the edamame spread I made was the best thing there. I made lots of drinks, and let my friends attempt to make me drinks, which ended in hilarity. There were also a whole bunch of H_E people there, which was kind of awesome: all four houses represented!!!

?
?

Anyway, party was a blast. The next morning we slept in pretty late (we being me, Lauren, and Jess), and then we went downtown to Jim Hanley?s Universe, and then to The Strand, where Lauren acquired a copy of

And shoes for [info]pikacharma

And a Clawbot:

Then we headed back uptown and dropped into Dutch Kills, a bar in Queens, for a drink, before making our way out to Flushing for Korean food, and bubble tea.

Then we went home and ate the ice cream sandwiches that Jess had given us when we had gotten in on Friday:

After we ice cream sandwiched, I taught Jess and Lauren how to make a sazerac, and then we did dramatic readings from the aforementioned ?best book,? and finally went to bed.

The next day, we got up and went down to Katz?s Deli for lunch

And then, walking around, we found a place that had a sign about hibernating Puffs:

Oh, yeah, and Jess bought an amazing purple hat.

And we got some cream puffs at the Hibernating Puffs place:

Lauren did some science:

And then we went to the giant Toys R Us in Times Square, because it is apparently tradition for visiting H_E members.

Jess played DDR:

Lauren was Iron Man instead of Batman for like ten seconds:

and communed with Her People:

And I?m not sure what she did to the Candyland King

Or to me, for that matter:

Then it was time to send the Lauren home, and Jess came back to Queens with me for a little while before she departed as well.

So, all in all, pretty awesome time.

Latest Humble Bundle brings 'Canabalt' to Android

3 hrs.

The Humble Bundle is a hit across the board; it's a chance for players to pick up an assortment of cross- compatible and DRM-free games, via the always popular "pay what you want" pricing structure. And developers enjoy exposure and a considerable profit margin (despite their offerings going for less than the original asking price).

The latest from the Humble Bundle brings a few popular iOS games to Android users at long last, making the number of platforms up to four, alongside PC, Mac, and Linux. It's the second time such a bunch has been provided. It's also the first time certain games are finally appearing on the open source desktop operating system as well:

Of the four games that makes up the primary package, "Canabalt" is perhaps most notable. As one of indie gaming's first iPhone success stories, "Canabalt's"?development and success has been detailed heavily by journalists, and even discussed at game design universities.

The game has been slightly tweaked over the years, but the Android version contains dramatic updates, including two-player mode and support for 3D displays. "Swords & Soldiers" is offered as well, provided one puts down more than the average amount being pledged:?$6.29.

Aside from the price, another key factor of their success is the limited availability. The Humble Bundle for Android 2 will only be around for the next 13 days. All interested parts should head on over to the Humble Bundle website.

Pawlenty shaves presidential campaign debt

(AP) ? Former GOP presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty has whittled his campaign debt down to $17,500.

The remaining red ink is detailed in a monthly federal campaign report filed Tuesday. It is down considerably from the nearly half-million dollars Pawlenty owed last fall.

Minnesota's former governor dropped out of the White House race in August after a poor showing at the Iowa GOP's straw poll. He was worried about going deep into debt to keep his campaign afloat.

Pawlenty now backs former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the race. Romney has helped Pawlenty raise money to pay off the debt.

Three finance and political consultants are still waiting to get paid by Pawlenty's campaign. None is owed more than $7,500.

German Joys: The Decline of Employer-Paid Health Insurance

Whenever Europeans ask me about health care in the United States, I always have to set aside some time to explain that most (non-elderly, non-poor) Americans get health insurance through their employer. Europeans find this difficult to understand, because it seems so weird and arbitrary -- getting health insurance from the company that employs you makes just about as much sense as getting vaccinations from your plumber. Yet that's the way it works for many Americans. And it creates problems largely unknown in the rest of the industrialized world -- in particular, people stuck in jobs they don't like because they can't afford to lose their health insurance.

But, as Kevin Drum reports, the situation is changing fast:

Over the past decade, the number of Americans with employer-sponsored health insurance has dropped from about 70% down to nearly 50%. Note that this is for the non-elderly only, so it's not due to the aging of society or the growth of Medicare. This is working-age people only. As Krugman says, our weird employer-based health insurance scheme is "coming apart at the seams."

Most Americans simply have no clue how bizarre it is that we rely on employers to provide health insurance for most people. We've all grown up in this sytem, so it seems completely normal. But it's not. It happened through a weird combination of historical accidents, and it makes no sense. Why should an airplane manufacturer also be in the healthcare business? Why should you lose your health insurance if you get laid off? Why should your choice of doctor be limited by your employer's choice of insurance carrier? (And why should it change whenever your employer decides to change carriers?) Why should your boss be allowed to dock your paycheck if you don't get the medical "counseling" he deems necessary? (Yes, this is real. And it's rapidly making its way to a corporation near you.)

Mass. zoo's cats benefit from Boston power loss

(AP) ? The transformer fire that knocked out power to thousands of homes and businesses in Boston turned about to be a stroke of delicious luck for the big cats at a Massachusetts zoo.

The Capital Grille donated 2,500 pounds of steak worth $20,000 to the Southwick's Zoo in Mendon after the restaurant lost power on Tuesday and the prime cuts of meat were no longer fit for human consumption even though they were kept in a refrigerated truck.

The zoo's two Bengal tigers, an African lion and a leopard dined like kings on Thursday. And there are enough leftovers to feed the cats for weeks to come.

Zoo owner Betsey Brewer tells The Telegram & Gazette (http://bit.ly/wLPMtS) she was surprised and delighted by the out-of-the-blue offer.

About 21,000 customers lost power after the fire. Almost all customers were back online by Friday.

Mississippi Builds Insurance Exchange, Even As It Fights Health ...

Mississippi, a deeply red Southern state that is part of the Supreme Court case against the health law, is moving full speed ahead with one of the key provisions of that law: an online health insurance exchange.

Officials, including Mississippi Commissioner of Insurance Mike Chaney, meet for the inaugural meeting of the Mississippi Health Insurance Exchange Advisory Board in late January (Photo by Mississippi Insurance Department).

Unlike Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and other southern conservative states, Mississippi is well on its way to having an insurance exchange ready for operation by the 2014 deadline laid out by the health overhaul law.

"There are portions in that act that are good parts. And that part happens to be the exchange," says Mississippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney, a Republican in his second term. "It's not a Republican idea. It is not a Democratic idea. It is a universal idea, and it has been around a long time.?

Efforts to set up an insurance exchange in Mississippi stretch back to before the Affordable Care Act passed, and an exchange had the outright support of former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (who later attached the state to the case against the federal health law).

Republican Senator Buck Clarke, from the small delta town of Hollandale, described the political path of the Mississippi exchange, as two different bills failed in last year's legislative session:? "The legislature couldn't come together. The whole thing died. And the insurance commissioner saw a different route to this to get this going. And it is just trying to comply with federal law that is on the books right now."

Chaney used a little-known rule, written by Clarke and passed into law in 2009, to lay the groundwork for the exchange.

"And the reason is very simple. It is important that we have an exchange that is designed by Mississippians. Operated by Mississippians. For Mississippians," says Chaney. "We don't want an exchange from the federal government that is one size fits all. What may work in New York state may not work in the state of Mississippi."

Chaney says Mississippi may appear to be an anomaly in the South but he points out that other states did not have the same legal options to avoid a political fight.

"It appears that I am swimming upstream against the trend of other southern states but here is the problem: other southern states did not have in place the statutory law that I had in place," Chaney says.

That statute is part of the state law governing Mississippi's high risk pool, which helps people with pre-existing conditions get insurance.? Lanny Craft, the executive director of the high risk pool quoted the rule allowing the pool to "serve as a mechanism to provide health and accident insurance to citizens of this state under any state or federal program designed to help a person obtain or maintain coverage."

A January study by the Center for Mississippi Health Policy showed that Mississippi has a lot to gain if an exchange functions in the state as the health law projects. The study found a working exchange could help lower the rate of people in the state without insurance from 20-percent to 7-percent.

The center's executive director Therese Hanna says that translates into 275,000 Mississippians who don't have insurance getting it. The exchanges are also a key mechanism to deliver the federal money that the health law provides to subsidize health insurance for Americans at certain income levels.

"About 229,000 [Mississippians] would be eligible for subsidies," Hanna says. "We are looking at approximately $900 million coming to the state because of that."

Even if the Supreme Court strikes down all or part of the federal health law, it is likely that Mississippi and the handful of other states that have begun to convene their exchange planning boards will continue to build their exchanges.

But for the whole law to survive, the Supreme Court will have to uphold it over objections like this one from exchange proponent Haley Barbour: "I do not believe the United States government has the right, the authority or power to force us to purchase health insurance any more than in the name of home land security they could force every American to have to buy a gun."

Could This Breakthrough Drug Beat Skin Cancer? - Breaking News ...

A ?personalised? pill for advanced skin cancer that can extend life has been approved for use in the UK.

The drug, vemurafenib, only works for patients with a specific variant of the BRAF gene.

It was developed after scientists learned that the mutation drives tumour growth in about 50% of patients with malignant melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer.

Vemurafenib, taken as four pills twice a day, blocks the cancer-causing form of the gene. A test is available to identify patients who might benefit from the treatment.

In clinical trials vemurafenib increased the life expectancy of patients with advanced disease from 9.6 months to 13.2 months.

The European Commission has now licensed the drug for adults whose cancer is inoperable or has spread, making it available in the UK.

However it will not routinely be offered to NHS without backing from the National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) which looks at the cost effectiveness of new treatments.

The ground work which led to the development of vemurafenib was carried out at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICF) and Royal Marsden Hospital in London.

Professor Alan Ashworth, chief executive of the ICF, said: ?Advanced melanoma is a devastating disease and new treatments are desperately needed, so it?s especially pleasing that patients will now be able to benefit from a drug that we helped develop.

?The success of vemurafenib demonstrates the importance of our approach to developing personalised medicines for cancer.

?Understanding the genetic and molecular causes of cancer helps us to create new, targeted therapies that ? as this drug shows ? can prove extremely effective.?

Each year malignant melanoma affects around 10,000 people in the UK and causes 2,300 deaths. The disease is now the second most common cancer in people aged 15 to 34 in the UK. Once the disease has become advanced and spread to other organs it is hard to treat and life expectancy is short.

Vemurafenib and a second drug launched last year called ipilimumab represent the first major advances in treatment for advanced melanoma in 30 years.

The clinical trials of vemurafenib were led by Dr James Larkin at the Royal Marsden.

Cally Palmer, the hospital?s chief executive, said: ?This is an important and significant step forward for the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma.?

L-Carnitine: Myth Or Magic, Part II

In January of 2012, I decided to supplement my normal diet with L-Carnitine while training for a marathon.? This decision resulted from reading various research papers on the potential benefits of L-Carnitine.? Many articles about running supplements promote L-Carnitine's ability to help our bodies produce energy by metabolizing fat and carbohydrates during exercise.? But I learned that carnitine is important for everyone, not just athletes. ?

Dietary Sources of L-Carnitine

Six weeks into 2012, here's some pointers that I discovered from personal experience and from my research while training for a marathon: ?

  1. Carnitine is now widely available as a supplement in several forms (L-Carnitine,
    Acetyl-L-Carnitine, and Propionyl-L-Carnitine), but the most popular seems to be L-Carnitine. ?Research studies prefer to use Acetyl-L-Carnitine because it is better absorbed in the small intestine than L-Carnitine.
  2. The most common source of dietary carnitine is red meat.? Carnitine is naturally present in red meat, because it is stored in the muscle tissue of mammals. ?When we eat red meat, the carnitine is absorbed in our small intestine and from there enters our bloodstream.
  3. Carnitine is present in these types of meat (from the US National Institutes of Health): 4 oz steak = approx 160 mg of carnitine; 4 oz ground beef = about 100 mg; 4 oz cod fillet = approx 4-7 mg; pork, bacon, lamb and chicken also contain carnitine, but in
    smaller amounts.
  4. Carnitine is also present in foods of plant origins, but at much lower levels.? Dairy
    products, as well as some fish, nuts and legumes, can be good sources of carnitine
    in the average person's diet.? One cup of whole milk, for instance, contains 5 mg.
  5. Any excess amounts of carnitine will be excreted in our urine.

Energy drinks

Changing my normal diet to contain more red meat, chicken, and cod would be an easy way to boost my dietary consumption of carnitine.

But I also considered using energy drinks as a supplement. ?I wondered why L-Carnitine is added to many sports drinks, and discovered it allows advertisers to promote energy drinks as "providing muscular energy" and "assisting fat metabolism".? Both those claims would naturally attract athletes.?

But I soon realized that taking a concentrated oral supplement of L-Carnitine would be more
efficient than drinking sports drinks, because one can of energy drink might contain on average only about 50 mg of L-Carnitine.? The scientific studies which I've read used daily dosages as high as 2000 mg in their testing of human subjects.?

Oral L-Carnitine Supplements

If I didn't want to get my L-Carnitine from sports drinks, what would be my best alternative??

  1. I could purchase carnitine in caplet form at any health food/vitamin store.? For the
    purposes of my personal study, I selected one at random that contains 120 caplets per bottle, with each caplet containing 500 mg, for $11.99.?
  2. I could also purchase bottles of liquid supplement. ?I bought one bottle of triple strength
    L-Carnitine for approximately $30.00, with 30 daily doses of 1500 mg of L-Carnitine, and was satisfied with the price.? An average can of energy drink costs between $2.00-$3.00.? I would have to buy 900 cans of energy drink, spending over $2000.00, to equal one bottle of liquid L-Carnitine!?
  3. Taking 1500 mg of L-Carnitine in caplet form on a daily basis would be even cheaper, but not as much fun.? I love the taste of the liquid, which comes in flavors that
    make me think of Jolly Rancher candy flavors, like Watermelon, Lemon and Grape!? I take the recommended dosage of 1 tablespoon per day (1500 mg), immediately priot to a run or other moderate to intensive exercise.?
  4. One tablespoon containing 1500 mg of L-Carnitine contains 4 g of carbohydrates and 15 calories.? Be sure to shake the bottle well before use!? I didn't see this warning on the bottle originally. ?Also, be sure to take it on an empty stomach.?
  5. Because a friend of mine?is sensitive to gluten, I investigated the L-Carnitine I'd
    purchased.? The caplets and liquid supplements contain NO gluten.?

Six weeks into my grand experiment, am I feeling any different?? After consuming a regular dose of L-Carnitine, was my muscle fatigue lower?? I do feel as if I have a little more energy, particular in the evening when I am running after work and before dinner.? My weight has remained constant.?

Perhaps most importantly after six weeks, I have realized that I will have to continue my
experiment for quite a while longer than I expected.? The study that most impressed me describes testing L-carnitine supplementation in athletes after 24 weeks of taking 2000 mg of L-Carnitine on a daily basis.? In a later article, I will discuss the results of that British study, which were released last year, and also record more of my own anecdoctal observations during the next 4 ? months.
