I'm a distance runner who sometimes runs marathons, and I am looking to alter my strength-training routine to help improve my running for some races that are coming up. Now it is tricky trying to find the best approach. It's even trickier finding a personal trainer who knows what they are...

More and more I keep hearing about the possibility of marathon running causing permanent damage to the heart muscle - How Much Running Is Bad For Your Heart? This may be why, on a regular basis, there are news stories about runners from around the world dropping dead from heart failure during...

I just want to make it clear that, at this time, I am not forming an exploratory committee and have no plans to run for President of the United States. Thank you.

I'm looking at putting together a DVD that will work in a special way, but I'm not sure if it's possible. I know I could do it if it were to be run on a computer, but I want to run it on a DVD player. I don't know if they are capable of it, however. The idea is basically as follows (this is a...

It's true the distant origins of the holiday lie with the Celtic Druidical religion; this is the time of year when the Lord of Death was supposed to summon the souls of evil people condemned to live in animal bodies, according to magician and skeptic James Randi in his book “An Encyclopedia of...

I subscribed years ago to several Conservative outfits. They continue to send me e-mails, even though I've repeatedly tried to unsubscribe. Now, they normally get zapped out with the rest of the spam. Still, for some reason, employer's e-mails to me have also wound up with the spam, so I've...

We have at work a program that runs on dos, (CA$HLINK an old accountancy package) This should not be a problem as the computers, are all on win 98 or win 98SE. Except mine which is on xp and I assume won;t run a dos program like this? I have loaded it onto a clean installed 98, and it is...

If a robot with artificial intelligence ran for public office, would you consider voting for it?

That's just ... odd. Still, I have to say... Go UK! :uk:

This is a fictional topic. I am going to pretend to be running for President of the U.S. Anyone who wants to run as my opponent, please feel free to post here, too. Let's go with a multi-party system, but limit it to five candidates. So the next four people who announce their candidacy are...

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- "Batman Begins" took in $26.8 million to remain the top movie for the second straight weekend, but it could not keep Hollywood from sinking to its longest modern box-office slump. Theater revenues have skidded about 7 percent compared to last year. Factoring in...

...anybody here a Counselman, or Mayor? I am running in my local Mayoral race, for the second time. The first time I ran, I did so as a write-in candidate, but this time my full name will appear on the ballot, with my nick name trailing, not unlike "William Jefferson Clinton (Bill)". I have...

I think sometimes we, as skeptics, tend to exaggerate items out of frustration because so often we see how things are not dealt with in a rational manner. In Randi's commentary he rails against Starbucks for putting a disclaimer on a cup that has a quote (pro-evolution) from Mary Leakey (in...

Can anyone suggest a good resource on setting up and running a lab? Something with advice regarding management of personnel, resources, funding ...that sort of thing. I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed Thanks TS

ABC affiliates pulling 'Private Ryan' Cripes. Even Australia isn't afraid of showing this one uncensored. I mean, war is heck, right?

Audio on my computer is running at 1/2 speed I just updated Win XP, rebooted the system and now my audio is slow and distorted. Anyone have any recommendations for fixing this? I tried searching on the net and Win help, but it was of little use. Thanks.

Perennial candidate Albert "Al" Hamburg has lost 14 consecutive bids for President and for Governor, US Senate and Congress. Hamburg's profile from Amazon: Jeez! And I thought Kucinich was a long shot.

I just finished reading Running With Scissors and thought I'd recommend it. Very fun book. It's a very fast read, and very, very funny. It's about a boy whose mother is mentally ill and whose father is an alcoholic. He ends up living with his psychiatrist's family, and they are just as nuts as...

I am thinking about attempting the 210 km "Round The Bay" cycling race later this year. The problem is that I am a regular runner but only an occasional cyclist. The reason for this is that my time is limited and it seems to me that you can do more exercise in a shorter time running than...
