EurekAlert - Moderate physical activity is critical for reducing the
risk of chronic disease in older women
===========================================================================================================

Getting regular, moderate-intensity exercise may be critically important
for postmenopausal women who want to reduce their risk of cancer, heart
disease and other chronic diseases, according to a study led by
researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. The
reason: exercise effectively reduces intra-abdominal fat, a hidden risk
factor for many chronic illnesses.

For generations, tinkerers have been pointing out how much their
projects will lighten the load of housework. For generations, spouses
and parents have failed to be impressed by these claims. When I built my
first robot seven years ago, people kept asking, "So what does it do?" I
explained that it would eventually vacuum the floor. I should have just
been honest: "Not much, but it sure is cool, isn't it?" All these years
later I still have trouble getting my creations to do the most basic
things, like move in a straight line. My professions of usefulness don't
carry much weight around the house anymore.

Scientists at the John Wayne Cancer Institute (JWCI) in Santa Monica,
California have found a panel of molecular markers that could signal
which patients might have the best results following vaccination for
malignant melanoma.

The Army of the future will be lighter, fleeter and better connected.
The U.S. Army wants to get to and maneuver within trouble spots faster,
and over the next six years it will spend $91 billion figuring out how
to do that.
