Sex has so much more to do with blood flow than many people realize. After all, it's blood flowing in and out of the penis that accounts for men's erections. Vaginal lubrication and genital arousal? Also linked to pelvic blood flow. As such, an increasing amount of research focuses on women's and men's cardiovascular health in relation to their sexual health.
A recent study conducted by researchers in Turkey and published in the November 2009 issue of The Journal of Sexual Medicine found that elite female athletes (specifically, professional volleyball and handball players) had better clitoral blood flow and more positive sexual function (think: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm) compared to an age-matched control group of sedentary women.
The study didn't assess clitoral blood flow or sexual function among moderately active women so it is not known to what extent regular bouts of exercise contribute to clitoral blood flow or sexual function. However, taking a "can't hurt, might help" strategy, women may have extra sex benefits if they exercise - in addition to the usual benefits of weight control, happier mood, stress reduction, positive body image and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
Of course, exercise is good for men, too! If you have a girlfriend or wife, look for ways to stay active together. Go running, hiking or swimming together. Take up tennis classes or teach each other something that the other one is good at (maybe you can teach her to golf and she can teach you how to play racquetball?). Hit the gym together and, when you get home, you may just wind up in bed together if post-exercise sex is appealing to the both of you.
Exercise: good for your heart and your sex life.

Ah yes, Dragon Age Origins' storied realm of Thedas, where great warriors and mages do battle against the Demon Spawn, play kings and knights off of each other in political schemes, and register promotional DLC codes for in-game items. What's that? Your heroic Grey Warden hasn't done the last one yet?
Here's your chance -- Alienware is giving away some free DLC keys for an in-game shield called the Bulwark of the True King. If you only have the original PC game, it's a tier 5 shield, but apparently if you have the Awakening expansion, it revs up to a Tier 7 item. All you have to do is run over to the Alienware website, create an account in its Arena community (you didn't think it'd be that "free," did you?), and then redeem the code in-game to claim your shield.
Note that these keys don't work in the console versions of the game -- Alienware only wants you PC users. But it is a pretty easy way to get a new shield. Much easier than slaying the mad mage of Ferelden or saving the Arl of Redcliffe.
[Thanks Wayne!]

Microsoft's Halo 4 action-shooter video game delivered robust sales on its launch - a good sign for the flagging video game industry and setting up a tough battle with Activision Blizzard's latest Call of Duty.
As more gamers migrate from console gaming to mobile offerings on tablets and smartphones, the video game industry has seen revenues decline and the performance of both titles in the upcoming holiday shopping season and 2013 is being watched closely as a gauge of future demand for the sector.
Call of Duty is currently the biggest-selling title on Microsoft's Xbox and strong sales for Halo 4 could eat into its sales on that console. But unlike Halo 4, it is also available on PCs, Sony's PlayStation and Nintendo's Wii consoles.
Microsoft said Halo 4 racked up US$220 million (NZ$269 million) in global sales on its launch day, surpassing the US$200 million made by the previous instalment, Halo: Reach, which was released in 2010. Halo 4 will likely reach US$300 million in sales in its first week, the company said.
Activision raised its earning outlook last week on expectations of strong holiday sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, saying it hoped it would beat previous Call of Duty records.
The previous instalment Modern Warfare 3 garnered more than US$400 million in sales on its first day in stores in North America and the United Kingdom, setting a video game industry record and hit US$1 billion in 16 days after launch.
The latest Call of Duty will be available for PCs, the Xbox and PlayStation consoles today, while a dedicated Wii U version will be released when the new console hits stores on November 18.
Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia said that good starts were being seen for some popular titles - in addition to a 15 per cent rise in sales for Halo 4 over its previous instalment, Ubisoft's action-adventure game Assassin's Creed III that launched in October is on track to double sales compared to last year's offering.
He said that even a small rise in sales or flat sales from last year for the Black Ops II launch would bode well for the quarter.
"There's no reason to believe the early sales won't be strong but the question is beyond the December quarter," he said. "It boils down to the legs the game may have beyond the first few weeks or the first quarter."
Call of Duty has been the top-selling game property during the holiday period in November and December since 2008 and represented 14 per cent of retail software sales last holiday, Liam Callahan, industry analyst at research firm NPD Group, said.
The first-person shooter game is set against the backdrop of the Cold War and also has a scenario that transports gamers to a futuristic setting in 2025. The new title has a feature that allows gamers to stream gameplay live on YouTube.
Game retailers globally are holding special events at stores ahead of the launch of Black Ops II.

At-risk parents and children would be given priority to Early Childhood Family Education when funds are limited, under a proposed bill.
Sponsored by Rep. David Bly (DFL-Northfield), HF585 was approved by the House E-12 Education Committee and referred to the House Finance Committee.
Along with giving priority to at-risk families, the bill would raise the amount of revenue for ECFE programs from $112 to $120 for fiscal year 2008 and beyond times the greater of 180 or the number of children under age 5 in the district on Oct. 1 of the previous year.
Under the bill, the amount a district that enters into a collaborative agreement to provide education and social services to families with young children can levy would double from $1.60 to $3.20 times the number of people under age 5 residing in the district on Sept. 1 of the previous school year. Use of the revenue for home visiting programs would also be expanded to include hospital visits for families of newborns.
A companion bill, SF579, sponsored by Sen. Terri Bonoff (DFL-Minnetonka), is scheduled to be heard Feb. 19 by the Senate Education Committee.

Bringing cool back to celloThis ever-morphing collective of classically trained, hip-to-pop cellists, helmed by the multiskilled Douglas Jenkins (cellist, arranger, organizer, motivator), really knows how to run a musical blender. They''ve become experts at pureeing up anything and everything with their cello works, from Justin Timberlake covers to collaborations with members of The Decemberists. As one could guess, this makes for some very intriguing, kinetic performances, and this album''s no exception. The name of the set arrives courtesy of the group''s two latest co-conspirators, Portland''s own Justin Power and San Franciscan Thao Nguyen, who contribute four tracks each, most notably the rollicking folk-pop, countryside feel of Power''s "Seeds May Fall" and Nguyen''s pensive "Tallymarks," with its spare arrangement and pebble-drop string effects. The remainder of the tracks include PCP''s dark-toned, haphazard take on Pantera''s "Mouth for War" (yes, that Pantera), and the group''s pretty, suspenseful version of fellow Oregon band Norfolk and Western''s "Turkish Wine." If you never thought you''d buy an album by something called an "indie cello orchestra," well, it''s time to put that preconceived notion on the back burner and give PCP a listen. [4 out of 5 stars]

During Cafe Book Get Together Day at Salem Church Library Morgan reviews The Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark by Ridley Pearson: In this fantastical thriller, five young teens tapped as models for theme pa
Hazel was young and strong and a bit clever. His best friend, however, was a runt no one thought much of. But Hazel knew something about Fiver that made him respect the little fellow. Fiver was gifted with the Sight. He somehow could tell in advance what might be coming, and just then Fiver was terrified to the very marrow of his bones.
Rabbits such as Hazel and Fiver who live in the English countryside usually lead a pretty nice life. There are predators, sure. Foxes, hawks, and even stray dogs might grab an unwary rabbit. But rabbits are sociable creatures, living in cozy warrens underground, usually staying in the same place for years at a time. They eat together, play together, and follow a leader. And so it was at Sandleford warren.
Rabbits are usually rather biddable beings of habit so when Fiver, with Hazel backing him up, tries to convince their chief rabbit Threarah that death and disaster are coming—and soon—it's a losing situation. After all, "The Threarah doesn't like anything he hasn't thought of for himself." His Owsla guards don't believe them, either, and it is against the rules of the warren to leave it without permission. But they're going to do it anyway.

Before Twitter and YouTube could respond, millions of users saw video of journalist James Foley being beheaded. An equally large number of people were privy to naked photos of celebrities on sites such as 4chan and reddit, after a hacker illegally stole the photos from the cloud. These were eventually removed, but not before a surprising controversy rose up around these instances: Should social media sites be in the business of censoring content-and, by extension, users?

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Accused Boston bomber indicted
Could face sentence of death if convicted
WASHINGTON -- A federal grand jury in Boston indicted Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Thursday in the Boston Marathon bombings, charging he and his brother were inspired by al-Qaida propaganda and believed the blasts that killed three and injured more than 260 would avenge U.S. activities overseas.
The 30-count indictment charged the Chechen immigrant and naturalized American citizen with detonating a weapon of mass destruction resulting in deaths. It said he scrawled what amounted to a confession while hiding in a dry-docked boat before his capture in Watertown, Mass.
"I don't like killing innocent people," Tsarnaev, 19, wrote in a series of notes on the boat's inside wall and beams, according to the indictment. But, he wrote, "the U.S. Government is killing our innocent civilians... I can't stand to see such evil go unpunished.
"We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all," he wrote.
"Now I don't like killing innocent people it is forbidden in Islam but due to said (illegible) it is allowed," he wrote. "Stop killing our innocent people and we will stop."
The indictment alleged Tsarnaev and his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, designed the bombs to "shred skin, shatter bone and cause extreme pain and suffering, as well as death." Other charges included bombing a public place and malicious destruction of property. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed during police pursuit days after the bombings.
Seventeen of the 30 counts could bring a sentence of death or life in prison. Tsarnaev was also charged in state court Thursday with killing Sean Collier, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer who was shot to death as the brothers allegedly tried to steal his service weapon while attempting to flee the Boston area.
Unlike the federal government, Massachusetts does not have the death penalty, so it seemed likely the federal case would go first. "All signs point to a capital prosecution of Tsarnaev by the feds," said Richard Broughton, a former Justice Department official who teaches at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.
Tsarnaev, who was seriously wounded by police during the manhunt, did not enter a plea to the indictment. He is being housed at a federal hospital for prisoners in Devens, Mass., and is scheduled to be arraigned July 10.
His father, Anzor Tsarnaev, speaking Thursday by phone from Makhachkala, Russia, defended the two brothers. "All I can say is my sons were innocent and they were simply set up," he said. "Nothing will ever make me believe my sons could have done that ugly crime."

MIT and the DARPA Network Challenge 68
from the 99-red-baboons dept.
Not every MLM scheme is a ponzi scheme. They do lend themselves to shadiness, but there are some distinctions (which is why Amway, or whatever they call themselves these days, doesn't get prosecuted into oblivion).
The major distinction is, the flow of money is linked to production of something that serves a goal outside the system. In Amway's case, that would be a sale; in this case, it would be knowledge of the location of a balloon.
MIT's strategy is very interesting. Several groups (like our team [ispyaredballoon.com]) have been forming their teams for weeks, but MIT appeared on the scene just today, and it's fascinating that they got a front-page Slashdot plug. I give them lots of credit for flooding the scene with mentions in such a short time. Whereas some teams give their winnings to charity (like ours), others entice balloon spotters with cash portions of the earnings, and MIT has decided to do a little of both.
DARPA is the sole decider of how difficult this competition will be. Will they place the balloons in dense urban areas, or will the launch them in small rural communities?
Best of luck to all the teams tomorrow, MIT included. I hope that the contest winner will write a paper describing their strategy, both in network-building and in launch-day data collection.
Congratulations to MIT for winning. https://networkchallenge.darpa.mil/ [darpa.mil]
The reason that every major university maintains a department of mathematics is that it's cheaper than institutionalizing all those people.

Esther Pollard with poster 311.
(photo credit:Courtesy)
In a startling public disclosure before he died, former US secretary of defense
Caspar Weinberger, the man who drove Jonathan Pollard's life sentence, admitted
in a 2002 interview that the Pollard case was "a minor matter" which had been
blown out of all proportion to serve another agenda.This came as no
surprise to those of us who have first-hand knowledge of the Pollard case.
Weinberger was known to be driven by his deeply-held animus toward the State of
Israel. His extreme bias against Israel was manifested in recurrent episodes of
strong criticism and unbalanced reasoning when decisions involving Israel were
being made. It is widely recognized that Weinberger's interference in the
judicial process netted Pollard a life sentence.Jonathan Pollard was
arrested in 1985 and convicted in 1987 of espionage on behalf of an American
ally, Israel.Pollard's conviction was justified, but his sentence was
entirely out of line with others engaging in similar behavior. The usual
sentence for this offense is no more than six or eight years, with actual jail
time before release averaging two to four years or less.Pollard is
serving his 27th year of an unprecedented life sentence.Pollard received
his life sentence without benefit of trial, as the result of a plea agreement
which he honored and the government abrogated.Pollard's life sentence
was driven in a less-than-legitimate manner by a last-minute affidavit submitted
to the sentencing judge by Weinberger that painted a dire picture of the damage
that Pollard was alleged to have caused to US national security. There is no
evidence that Pollard intended to harm the United States or help its
enemies.Because of a gross deficiency on the part of his attorney, who
neglected to file a notice of intent to appeal following his sentencing hearing,
Pollard has been forever deprived of his right to a direct appeal against his
life sentence. The only appeals he was able to bring were collateral, and were
dismissed on technicality, not substance.For those of us who served in
senior government positions at the time of Pollard's arrest and conviction, who
have intimate knowledge of the Pollard case and are now calling for his release,
it is clear that Pollard no longer poses any security threat with the
information he obtained nearly 30 years ago.We believe that deterrence
has been achieved and the requisite level of remorse has been
expressed.We understand that Pollard's commutation is strongly supported
in Israel, in the US and around the world, since it is clear that his punishment
was much worse than that of anyone else who has committed a similar crime.
Pollard is the only person in the history of the United States who ever received
a life sentence for spying on behalf of an ally.We believe that
commuting Pollard's sentence to time served is the right and compassionate thing
to do.We believe that his continued incarceration constitutes a travesty
of justice and a stain on the American system of justice.Incredibly,
there are still some with dubious agendas who oppose Pollard's release. They
lobby against Pollard on the basis of long-discredited canards such as the
charge that Pollard spied or attempted to spy for countries other than Israel;
or on the basis of non-relevant hearsay which posits that if released, Pollard
will be regarded as a hero or martyr.A case in point is the article by
Martin Peretz published this week by The Wall Street Journal. Peretz falsely
accuses Pollard of offering classified information to other countries, such as
Pakistan. This assertion is categorically false. Pollard was never accused,
indicted or convicted of spying for any country other than Israel and the
documented record bears this out.Interestingly, Peretz never mentions
the gross disproportionality of Pollard's sentence; the strong support by
credible Senior American officials who have seen the full classified file; or
the way that support for Pollard's release as a matter of simple justice cuts
across all party lines, religious lines and political affiliations in Israel, in
the US and around the world.Instead, Peretz speciously claims that
supporters of Pollard present him as a martyr and this, he claims, is
justification for keeping Pollard in prison for the rest of his
life.Peretz claims that the importance of Pollard's release to the
people of Israel, a strong US ally, is negligible. He then contradicts himself
when he accuses officials who support the release of Jonathan Pollard of
"sensing the public wind" and capitalizing on the Pollard issue by jumping
aboard the bandwagon.The truth is, in recent months many of my
colleagues, senior American officials as well as high ranking legal officials
and elected representatives, have appealed to President Barack Obama for
executive clemency for Jonathan Pollard.Among them are cabinet officers,
experienced jurists and officials serving at the time of Pollard's arrest who
were intimately involved in reviewing the evidence. Some of the names include:
former secretary of state George Shultz, former secretary of state Henry
Kissinger, former White House legal counsel Bernard Nussbaum, former
attorney-general Michael Mukasey, former deputy attorney-general Phillip
Heymann, former Senate Intelligence chairman Dennis DeConcini, former national
security adviser Robert C. McFarlane, former CIA director James Woolsey; and
many more.They have testified and stated formally in writing their
strong views that the original sentence Pollard received was far too severe. We
agree.All of the appeals to President Obama have requested clemency as a
matter of simple justice because Pollard's sentence is grossly disproportionate
when compared with others who committed similar offenses. Indeed it is far
harsher than sentences received by many of those who committed far more serious
offenses by spying for enemy states. Israel is not an enemy of the
US.The fact that Pollard's health is failing adds urgency to our
requests for clemency. After 27 years in prison in some of the harshest
conditions, Pollard's health has severely deteriorated.All of Pollard's
legal remedies have been exhausted. Most recently, an attempt by Pollard's pro
bono lawyers, Eliot Lauer and Jacques Semmelman, to have his life sentence
vacated was ruled barred by the statute of limitations.The numerous
appeals to President Obama for executive clemency for Jonathan Pollard are all
still pending. They are Pollard's last hope of resolving a 27-year-long
injustice which now threatens to end his life in prison.It is precisely
for cases like this, where the justice system has failed and cannot or will not
provide relief, that the American Constitution confers upon the president
virtually unlimited powers of executive clemency. Moreover, it is in cases like
this that a moral imperative compelling intervention on the part of the
president exists, now that all other avenues of relief via the American justice
system have been exhausted.President Obama has the exclusive power to
commute Jonathan Pollard's life sentence to the nearly 27 years he has already
served.It is not merely the president's prerogative to eliminate this
longstanding stain on the US justice system. We believe that it is his solemn
duty.The writer served as US assistant secretary of defense during the
Reagan administration. He is a senior fellow at the Center for American
