POPSIbuprofen is harmful when taken "preventively" during exercise
More: painkillers were not useful for reducing pain” during the long race, he says, and afterward, the runners using ibuprofen reported having legs that were just as sore as those who hadn’t used the drugs. …in laboratory experiments on animal tissues, NSAIDs actually slowed the healing of injured muscles, tendons, ligament, and bones…including the micro-tears and other trauma to muscles and tissues that can occur after any strenuous workout or race…also blunt the body’s response to exercise at a deeper level. Normally, the stresses of exercise…increases collagen, and leads, eventually, to creating denser bones and stronger tissues. If “you’re taking ibuprofen before every workout…Your bones don’t thicken and your tissues don’t strengthen as they should. They may be less able to withstand the next workout. In essence, the pills athletes take to reduce the chances that they’ll feel sore may increase the odds that they’ll wind up injured — and sore.

POPSThe commuting paradox I figured out a long time ago that I hate (hate hate HATE) commuting. A 40% raise would not be nearly enough to compensate me for adding an hour to my commute. (As it is, we live two miles from my work. I can take the bus, ride a bike, or walk. It's great.)

POPSBomb parts smuggled into 10 federal buildings during test Great, thanks for raising our stress levels and informing the terrorist. Oh, and great work to all you ‘guardians’ of our ‘safety’ and ‘security’! Great work! The GAO also released a photograph of a guard asleep at his post and detailed an instance in which a woman placed an infant in a carrier on an X-ray machine while retrieving identification. Because the guard was not paying attention and the machine's safety features had been disabled, the infant was sent through the X-ray machine, according to the report. The FPS dismissed the guard, who, as a result, sued the agency for failing to provide X-ray training. FPS lost the suit because it could not prove that the guard had been trained, the report says. Un- freaking-believable! Are we Americans destined to be the laughing stock of the world?

POPSSouth Korea Gets 40 U.S. Missiles For Destroyer - North Korea Threatens Japan I wonder if we just aren't giving N Korea every opportunity to develop a weapon they can and will use against S Korea. Thus, drawing the U.S. into a regional war again. Seems there is nothing short of declaring war ourselves that will stop the "idiot" little weasel of a dictator, Kim Jong-il, of N. Korea. Inevitably, any conflict with N. Korea will put the U.S. at odds with China. They don't publicly approve of all what N. Korea does, but the country does provide a buffer zone between the West and Communist China.

POPSObama is taking the US economy down the disastrous UK road "What should unnerve Americans is that Obama's economic policies are basically the same as Brown's: massive spending, massive borrowing and massive monetary expansion. This is what these people and their economic advisors call sound economics. The classical economists must be spinning in their graves. " Obama's rhetoric and policies have been the most hostile to business since the Roosevelt administration of the 1930s.

First being irony, the blood as it is teamed (teeming with) with. But, having the nations top quorums for accountability targeted by the military advertising initiatives; brushed many occurences in my twinkle of life under my ass as a sit now in the minor leagues of associating self with the world occurences.

POPSHow brain chemicals can help soldiers keep their head
most potent protective factor, however, is a neurotransmitter called neuropeptide Y (NPY), which binds to receptors on neurons in the prefrontal cortex and alters their response to noradrenaline, acting as a brake to its accelerator pedal. The most intriguing implication of Morgan's research, however, is the suggestion that supplementing levels of DHEA or NPY could enhance soldiers' ability to think straight in the heat of battle - and perhaps also offer some protection against PTSD. The brain needs a large amount of energy to function, and in the food and sleep-deprived SERE trainees, the glucose proved effective at boosting their mental acuity. The following morning, those given the carbohydrate drinks performed significantly better on the Stroop test (Military Medicine, vol 174, p 132). Giving troops energy-rich drinks is one thing, but the idea of intervening with drugs to enhance military performance is more controversial, as reactions to another proposal have shown.

POPSThe Best and Worst Bailed-Out Banks If the "market-to-bailout ratio," as we call it, equals 1.0, for example, that means investors driving the stock price up or down have a dim view of the bank's inherent value. "The government injections basically amount to the common stockholders' entire value," says economist James Barth of the nonprofit Milken Institute, which provided some of the data. To pay back the government injections, such banks would probably have to sell assets, which could worsen the situation. http://www.usnews.com/blogs/flowchart/2009/05/05/banks-least-likely-to-pay-back-bailout-funds.html Banks with a market-to-bailout ratio of less than 1 are in even worse shape, since investors are signaling that the banks' value is heavily dependent upon government aid.

Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly; however, senior citizens and kids see them standing still. By the way, the image is not animated; all the dots are perfectly still.
