Why Exercise Makes Us Feel Good
From The Times: “Why does exercise make us happy and calm? Almost everyone agrees that it generally does, a conclusion supported by research. A survey by Norwegian researchers published this month, for instance, found that those who engaged in any exercise, even a small amount, reported improved mental health compared with Norwegians who, despite the tempting nearness of mountains and fjords, never got out and exercised. A separate study, presented last month at the annual meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine, showed that six weeks of bicycle riding or weight training eased symptoms in women who’d received a diagnosis of anxiety disorder. The weight training was especially effective at reducing feelings of irritability, perhaps (and this is my own interpretation) because the women felt capable now of pounding whomever or whatever was irritating them. But just how, at a deep, cellular level, exercise affects anxiety and other moods has been difficult to pin down. […] Perhaps best of all, Dr. Lehmann does not believe that hours of daily exercise are needed or desirable to achieve emotional resilience. The mice in his lab ran only when and for as long as they wished, over the course of several weeks. Other animal experiments have intimated that too much exercise could contribute to anxiety, and Dr. Lehmann agrees that that outcome is possible. Moderate levels of exercise seem to provide the most stress-relieving benefits, he said.” The full story.

Charles Apple in American Copy Editor writes, below the headline, “You need a dirty mind to be an editor in this business,”: That’s the only way you can avoid running something like this graphic — cell-camera shots of which have been zooming around the internets over the past day or so.
It’s from the USA Today weather page, of course. It ran last Friday, July 1. […] Now, chances are about five percent of you don’t “get” what I’m talking about with that graphic illustration. But at least 95 percent of you do — in fact, you’re laughing like mad right now. Which proves my point. You need to have a dirty mind to be in the business of mass communications. Or, at the very least, you need someone with a dirty mind on your staff. Because you do not want to give the sixth grader in all of us this kind of viral amusement.” More examples here.

Rick Scott is a felon who wants to make this state so uninhabitable, everyone moves–and then he can drill, baby drill, to the content of the Koch Brothers’ Big Oil interests.
For the life of me, I cannot believe that any sensible person voted for this man–indeed, I can’t find but two people who will actually admit it. I therefore have to wonder if this crook stole the governor’s mansion, too.

Totally agree with Mara. Now Scott too on secretive meeting with the Koch Brothers manipulating all to gain total control of our country….have anyone out there google these two? Better do and be very aware of who they are and their sinister agenda.
