“The experts call physical activity the “best buy” in public health. And the guidelines are based on evidence from thousands of studies. Based on this evidence, an expert panel concluded that exercise increases our lifespans, prevents that sneaky annual weight gain and reduces the risk of almost every chronic disease: cardiovascular disease, diabetes and many cancers.* No other single behavior can do as much good for your health*. By investing some time into exercise now, you get to cash in later. Think of it as the 401K for a long, healthy and happy life. “ I go to Lifetime Fitne... more »

Stand for the Right!- proclaim it loud- Thou'lt find an answering tone In honest hearts, and thou no more Be downed to stand alone!” - Frances Dana Gage, 1869

Russia's Relationship With China Will Change Northeast Asia
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Beijing and Moscow are building up trade, infrastructure, and living standards in long-neglected regions. The many naysayers on the China-Russia partnership may want to take another look at this. For decades, it has been modish to suggest that this bilateral linkage is either negligible or highly problematic. So the logic goes: the two Asian giants put up a rather good show, but “the emperor has no clothes.” The trading relationship is not too stellar, transport links are limited, military cooperation seems mostly symbolic, an... more »

In the past, on account of the Cold War politics, the United States was more concerned with the containment of Soviet Union in an unpredictable Asia. It was inevitable that, in a relationship based on common perceptions of threat rather than the concurrence of political ideas, discords should mount once those threat perceptions ceased to exist. With the passing of the age of Cold War, a new... more »

More Brown Fat May Be A Solution For The Obesity Crisis
Obesity is a disease where people accumulate more and more fat. When they reach a certain point, their fat stops working and they develop disease, such as type 2 diabetes. But not all fat is bad. The fat that accumulates in obesity is called white fat, but a second form of fat (brown fat) could actually be used to treat obesity. Brown fat has evolved to turn fuel into heat. In small animals, like mice and voles, brown fat makes heat that helps them survive, even in freezing temperatures. read more

My letter to a grant recipient at OSU
Today I noticed in OnCampusToday you’ve received a handsome grant of $2.27 million from NIH for “patient engagement.” Congratulations. I’ve read through your publications, and you have had an impressive career. Although I don’t know what *“**concept map to define capacity for engagement*” means, I would like to comment on patient portals as a means to engage patients in their own care. I hate them. My husband has 2 doctors, 3 if you count the cancer specialist whom he rarely sees, and I have 3, family, ophthalmologist and cardiologist. We share the family doctor. Each practice u... more »
Neil deGrasse Tyson is a Space Force Sellout
By Will Griffin Neil deGrasse Tyson has been on every mainstream media outlet this year promoting the idea of a Space Force. Along with supporting President Trump’s idea of forming a new military branch, which would cost taxpayers billions of dollars, Neil also promotes the myth of how military spending is required to increase spending in science. Studies have shown that we do not need to bulk up the military in order to further the advancement of science in the civilian sector. So what’s up with that Neil? Neil deGrasse Tyson has ties to the U.S. government and corporations which... more »

Not Freddie Mercury
Reader J. M. sent me a link - well, two of them, actually - that had me laughing out loud.
