Chill out… Stress will kill you.
Want to live longer? Chill out.
In the study, mice were infused with an adrenaline-like compound that works through a receptor called the beta adrenergic receptor that Lefkowitz has studied for many years. The scientists found that this model of chronic stress triggered certain biological pathways that ultimately resulted in accumulation of DNA damage."This could give us a plausible explanation of how chronic stress may lead to a variety of human conditions and disorders, which range from merely cosmetic, like graying hair, to life-threatening disorders like malignancies," Lefkowitz said.

Every hour of TV watching may take 22 minutes off your life
I guess I need to build a TV-watching treadmill too… 🙂
Every hour spent watching TV, DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life expectancy by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests.And viewing TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years.The research claims that a sedentary lifestyle is as bad for health as smoking and obesity, because of the dangers posed by inactivity and the greater opportunities it offers for unhealthy eating.

Father of Cryonics Dies at 92 and frozen at Cryonics Institute
I haven’t looked at how cryonics have advanced in the past few years, but I hope that its improved a bit… 🙂
Ettinger died on July 23 of poor health in his home in Clinton Township, Mich.
For anyone who has seen the movie "Austin Powers," one of the most memorable scenes was Mike Myers being brought back to life after 30 years of being cryogenically frozen. Many people, especially Robert Ettinger, have wondered if this could actually happen at some point in the future.
Ettinger, also known as the "father of cryonics," died July 23, 2011 at the age of 92. He had spent much of his life advocating the freezing of the dead in hopes of bringing them back to life one day.

Business? Or glorified job?
I have this discussion with people all the time… “Is what you’re proposing really a business?”
Either can work, both do, but don’t confuse them.

Get banned for exceeding Comcast’s bandwidth limit
I’d like to know who these people are who only use “four to six gigabytes a month”… thats hard for me to believe.
For the last eight years, Vrignaud had been a happy customer with Comcast. He says he never had a problem with the standard residential Internet service he was paying nearly $50 a month to receive.
But he recently took advantage of a promotion to upload his entire music collection into Amazon’s digital cloud service and another promotion that let him back up his system’s hard drive using a service called Carbonite he says got him in trouble with Comcast.
"I was doing what these services are all about, and I got cut off. I exceeded Comcast’s 250-gigabyte limit," said Vrignaud.

Diet soda is making you fat… too.
I don’t drink diet soda often, but I do feel like it makes me hungry… apparently that “feeling” is a fact. 🙁
Diet Soda Is Why You’re Fat
Whoops. Diet soda might have no calories, but that doesn’t keep it from growing your waistline. A new study finds that diet drinkers might be even worse off than regular soda drinkers.
