High HDL Levels Protect Heart Health
High levels of "good" HDL cholesterol protect against heart disease and stroke no matter what the blood levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol are, a new study shows....The incidence of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular problems was 40 percent lower in the one-fifth of participants in a major trial who had the highest HDL cholesterol levels, regardless of their LDL cholesterol levels

A mix of acetaminophen and caffeine may cause liver damage, especially in heavy caffeine drinkers, according to a preliminary study conducted by the University of Washington in Seattle....Although previous studies have linked alcohol consumption and use of acetaminophen to liver damage, this is the first study to link caffeine to the danger.

Discovery supports theory of Alzheimer
Now scientists at Northwestern University have discovered why brain insulin signaling -- crucial for memory formation -- would stop working in Alzheimer's disease. They have shown that a toxic protein found in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer's removes insulin receptors from nerve cells, rendering those neurons insulin resistant.

AlterNet: MediaCulture: Is Keith Olbermann the Next Edward R. Murrow?
What the evening news shows need is less "objectivity" and more analysis. The problem with objective journalism is that it doesn't exist and never did. Molly Ivins disposed of the objectivity question for all time when she observed in 1993, "The fact is that I am a 49-year-old white female, a college-educated Texan. All of that affects the way I see the world. There's no way in hell that I'm going to see anything the same way that a 15-year-old black high school dropout does. We all see the world from where we stand. Anybody who's ever interviewed five eyewitnesses to an automobile accident knows there's no such thing as objectivity."

Clinton Has Staff Kill Negative GQ Article - Media on The Huffington Post
Early this summer, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign for president learned that the men's magazine GQ was working on a story the campaign was sure to hate: an account of infighting in Hillaryland....So Clinton's aides pulled a page from the book of Hollywood publicists and offered GQ a stark choice: Kill the piece, or lose access to planned celebrity coverboy Bill Clinton....Despite internal protests, GQ editor Jim Nelson met the Clinton campaign's demands, which had been delivered by Bill Clinton's spokesman, Jay Carson, several sources familiar with the conversations said.

YouTube - Bill Maher on Religion
I worry about this trend...Rationalist? Maher puts down people with religious beliefs. It's not that I'm religious myself. I am just not confident anyone--any side--is right...What I abhor is the self-righteous, whether "rationalist" or religious. Believe what you want. But Maher's "rationalist" slam of those with religious beliefs is just as self-righteous as a fundamentalist Christian claiming those who don't believe Jesus will got to hell. Arrogance in whatever form raises warning flags for me....But we are attracted to confidence, aren't we? When we can't find faith in ourselves, we seek it out in others...so the arrogant are rewarded with this attention, and thrive.

Agathidium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agathidium bushi, Agathidium cheneyi, and Agathidium rumsfeldi are species of slime-mold beetles named after George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld, respectively, by two former Cornell entomologists, Dr Kelly B. Miller (now at Brigham Young University) and Dr Quentin D. Wheeler (now at the Natural History Museum). According to Miller and Wheeler, the naming of the beetles (who were three of 65 species to be named) was done in homage to the political figures. Other namesakes for species in this genus include Darth Vader, "who shares with A. vaderi a broad, shiny, helmetlike head" and Pocahontas.

Persistence of Myths Could Alter Public Policy Approach
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently issued a flier to combat myths about the flu vaccine. It recited various commonly held views and labeled them either "true" or "false." Among those identified as false were statements such as "The side effects are worse than the flu" and "Only older people need flu vaccine."....When University of Michigan social psychologist Norbert Schwarz had volunteers read the CDC flier, however, he found that within 30 minutes, older people misremembered 28 percent of the false statements as true. Three days later, they remembered 40 percent of the myths as factual.

Mother Teresa's agonies of doubt are surely not all that unusual.

I get mail all the time from religious leaders who admit to me in private that they do not believe in God but think that the best way to continue their lives is to swallow hard and get on with their ministries, concentrating on bringing more good than evil into the lives of their parishioners and those for whom their churches provide care.

BBC NEWS | Health | Why kissing means more to women
A New York State University team quizzed over 1,000 students, finding women place a big emphasis on kissing...They use kissing as a way of assessing the recipient as a potential partner, and later to maintain intimacy and to check the status of a relationship....But men placed less importance on it, using it to increase the likelihood of sex, Evolutionary Psychology reported.

Rather than starkly laying out the risks of not breast feeding -- as focus group testing showed would be most effective -- the resulting ads instead made awkward visual references (dandelions! ice cream scoops!) to breasts and soft-peddle the benefits of breast-feeding. As predicted by the Ad Council, this had no impact on breast feeding rates.
Jury give the people a veto
America's Founders worried that the government they created might someday grow too powerful, and begin to pass laws which would violate the rights of the very people it was intended to protect: ordinary, peaceful, productive folks. But they kept an "ace in the hole", a trump card they believed citizens could use to hold this new, experimental government in check. That ace was the right to a trial by a jury of one's peers.

Endurance training is antithetical to anti-aging. So it amazes me when guys in their 40s and 50s who are training for a marathon or Ironman suggest that doing so will keep them young. It won't. You may feel like a stud now with your shaved legs and your magic marker biceps tattoos, but endurance training speeds up the aging process almost as fast as watching TV, drinking sodas and eating potato chips. Actually, in some cases, it speeds it up even faster.

I apologize for my particle profligacy. I have learned my lesson. Goodbye, cruel Word.
