POPSJeff Galloway: Food - the importance of "prefueling" before exercise
More: If you fear undesired pit stops or gastric distress, train your intestinal track to tolerate food. Start with one saltine, or one pretzel, and then work up to a more substantial intake… Even if you are working out for less than an hour, you should still eat a pre-run snack and drink water. Athletes who ate no breakfast, biked hard for 50 minutes and then sprinted for 10 minutes to the finish were able to sprint 6% harder when they consumed adequate water vs. minimal water… One way to organize your pre-run fueling is to eat part of the upcoming meal prior to your workout. For example— • If you run in the morning, enjoy a banana before your workout, and then afterwards refuel with the rest of your breakfast, such as a bagel and a yogurt. • If you run at lunch, eat half a sandwich before your run and then enjoy the rest of your lunch afterwards. • For afternoon or afterwork sessions, enjoy a granola bar or some graham crackers pre-run, and then refuel with chocolate m

POPSImmortality only 20 years away says scientist No thanks, I don't want to live forever. "Ultimately, nanobots will replace blood cells and do their work thousands of times more effectively. "Within 25 years we will be able to do an Olympic sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breath, or go scuba-diving for four hours without oxygen. "Heart-attack victims – who haven't taken advantage of widely available bionic hearts – will calmly drive to the doctors for a minor operation as their blood bots keep them alive. "Nanotechnology will extend our mental capacities to such an extent we will be able to write books within minutes. "If we want to go into virtual-reality mode, nanobots will shut down brain signals and take us wherever we want to go. Virtual sex will become commonplace. And in our daily lives, hologram like figures will pop in our brain to explain what is happening. "So we can look forward to a world where humans become cyborgs, with artificial limbs and organs."

POPSHow To Lose an Argument We’re called racist because they can’t win an argument even with a 60/40 advantage in Congress and the most left-wing president in history. It stinks of flop-sweat and desperation–and it only drives more people into opposition. So keep it up. After all, the last time the loser Jimmy Carter lectured the American people this harshly…we got Ronald Reagan!

POPSCould dogs be the fastest land animals in the world? His ability to reach top speed quickly is amazing. At maximum acceleration a greyhound can reach a speed of 45 mph (72km/h) within its first 6 strides from a standing start. No other land animal (except the cheetah) has that degree of acceleration. However, the greyhound is also a distance runner. He can settle into a speed in excess of 35 miles per hour and can run at that rate for distances as great as 7 miles (11 kilometres). This means that while the cheetah can win the short sprint race, in any long race the greyhound will leave that big cat way behind, panting in the dust.

POPSthe day social media died... this morning was really odd. both facebook and twitter were off. with regard to twitter, it was more than just error messages but a denial of service attack (ugly stuff). twitter is clearly the NOW network (sorry Sprint). however, Amplify showed me that we are an information network - as i was able to see clips from the community, learn about what was going on, and have a conversation about it. i hope Twitter is up an running soon!

POPSGOP Rep's goal? Bring down Dems' approval ratings Not save the country's economy. Not put people back to work. Not work together in a bipartisan manner. Not even come up with an original policy proposal. "We will win the message war every day, and every week, until November 2010." Keep saying it, Congressman - America needs to know where your heart is. And America, last November, utterly rejected a candidate who ran that way.

POPSPalm, Sprint Already Advertising New Pre Palm's new smart phone, Pre, was unveiled yesterday and won't be available for purchase for some weeks or months. No matter--carrier Sprint is already touting the Pre on its site and in big online ads. The swift response is smart. Both companies have a lot riding on this phone (and its new operating system, WebOS) and should capitalize on the buzz they generated at CES. By way of disclosure, Elevation Partners, which holds a 25% take in Palm, is also a shareholder in our parent, Forbes Media.

POPSConvicted U.S. senator welcomed back to Alaska Where is the shame? Ted Stevens brought a lot of money to the state of Alaska. Apparently, this carries more weight than honor and ethics. "there is a 100 percent certainty" that the senate would vote to expel Stevens should he win re-election and his appeals fail.

POPSSlow Sex Sex is the ultimate trust with another human being isn't it? We trust that they desire us and we want intimacy in a relationship. While it certainly is easy to reach our to your partners genitals to get something going, it's impersonal and it's not touching what is the best in yourself. While on the surface it seems that sex is a biological drive like a need for food, I feel this kind of thinking tends to limit our perspectives and actually interferes with our relationships.

POPS "Why have SMS rates doubled?" Congress to cell carriers..."I am concerned with whether this consolidation and increased market power by the major carriers has contributed to this doubling of text-messaging rates over the last three years," wroteKohl, who gave the carriers a month to justify their higher SMS rates. U.S. texters sent 2.5 billion SMS messages in June—each day, mind you, or 78 billion messages for the month. That's a staggering 160-percent increase over last year, the CTIA reports—as well as a lot of money for the carriers, who collectively raked in $14.8 billion in wireless data revenue in the first half of 2008.
