POPSThe 'Healthy' Office Of The Future In recent years companies have been putting a lot of time, effort and money into encouraging their employees to get fit and, more important, cut health care costs. But does the next step include a re-engineering of the typical office? It could happen sooner than you think. Dr. James Levine, a Mayo Clinic endocrinologist, is reporting that after six months, 18 employees in an office with walking tracks, desks attached to treadmills and games lost 156 pounds - an average of eight pounds each. Perhaps even more interesting - despite the lack of traditional desks and seating - no productivity was lost and revenue, in fact, rose.

POPSExercise in a Pill Previous work with genetically engineered mice in the Evans lab had revealed that permanently activating a genetic switch known as PPAR delta turned mice into indefatigable marathon runners.

On top of their lean and mean physique, their response to insulin improved, lowering levels of circulating glucose.

POPSUnlucky to have a job?? Author, Jan Lunberg says... "there exists a more conscious and adventurous way of living that maximizes community and relationships, thereby sharing, enjoying mutual support, and growing "spiritually." Such a person may be the activist, artist, healer, and the determined non-taxpayer -- all of whom may succeed in living closer to nature than the herd of downtrodden consumers who are assumed stuck in their urban and suburban treadmills."

POPSMichael Vick's (NFL Quarterback) home used for dogfighting This is sickening. Sadly, because of his athletic ability, Michael Vick is a hero to many. But the more time passes, the more it seems clear that he is a complete lowlife jerk. I hope he gets severely punished if he, in fact, was involved with this horrible treatment of dogs.
