Minimum TRF length in the runners, however, was inversely related to their years spent running (r = −0.63, P = 0.007) and hours spent training (r = −0.52, P = 0.035). Therefore, since exposure to endurance running may influence minimum TRF length, and by implication, the proliferative potential of the satellite cells, chronic endurance running may be seen as a stressor to skeletal muscle.

NELL (“never ending language learner”) is only a prototype so far.  It is to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and perform two tasks each day: (1) reading and (2) learning.  When NELL is reading, it extracts knowledge from web text and adds it to its internal knowledge base.  When it goes in to the learning phase, it applies machine learning algorithms to its newly enlarged knowledge base, thereby enhancing its understanding of language.  The researchers believe that NELL “holds the potential to yield major steps forward in the state of the art of natural language understanding.”

I am a little skeptical of what seems to be a massive corpus-tagging project (see Doctorow’s Metacrap essay — http://j.mp/1Dpk5).

Worst-case scenario, though, is that we’ll wind up with a better understanding of the limitations of such projects, and that is a significant stride forward.

So if you are dehydrated - 3% body mass loss - there will be:

• impaired resistance exercise performance,
• decreased repetitions,
• increased perceived exertion, and
• hindered HR recovery.

Good and good for ya

In a study called Eyetrack III: What We Saw When We Looked Through Their Eyes, results showed that top navigation performed better than left-side navigation. Interestingly, according to the results, even right-side navigation had better success than left navigation.

Well-made case against left-hand site navigation.
