It started inland on San Diego’s Shelter island and ended up along the big bay in San Diego. It was a beautiful sunny fall day, with just a few wispy clouds in the sky. The race was point to point, ending up at Humphreys by the Bay for a Champagne brunch to finish up the event. I started near the front of the pack, and started at a reasonably fast clip. As the race thinned out, I found some runners that seemed to have a comfortable clip and stayed with them. The first mile was easy, and my time through the one mile checkpoint was great. As we turned the corner the sun was rising and you could see the masts of sail boats and the bay in the distance. It was truly an incredible day. I stayed with my running partners who were a little ahea...

For walking while talking — which requires considerably more concentration than normal walking — the seniors who took computer training notably improved compared with their initial speeds. By contrast, no improvement in walking speed was observed for the control group.

Take a set of schools in New York, for example. Officials have now closed down in Queens because “hundreds of children went home sick with flu symptoms.” Maintenance people are now scrubbing down desks, tables, floors, etc. Basically every surface children touch. It’s not just kids that have been infected. An assistant principle is on a ventilator, and in critical condition. The schools will be closed for at least a week. Image: sxc.hu.

But contrary to conventional wisdom, stereotyping not only hurts us, but can also help us. The article summarizes research from the past few decades that shows when people are reminded of a negative stereotype that pertains to a group they identify with (e.g., race or gender), they do worse on a specific task than when a control group isn’t given the reminder. For instance, when women subjects were reminded that “women are no good at math,” they did worse at a math task. But the article also noted that this can be used for beneficial purpo...

But a version of pizza as we know it may fend off heart disease, obesity, and cancer.The secret is in the crust -- the cooking of the crust, that is.Think about this:It seems baking pizza faster and at higher temperatures can release disease-fighting antioxidants. And it's this one small change to pizza preparation that has scientists at the University of Maryland claiming there is such a thing as a healthy pizza.Scientists baked pizza at 500 degrees for six minutes and were able to increase antioxidant levels 100 percent...
