The Ron Paul Revolution - TIME
Politics might be rock 'n' roll for nerds, but the nerds aren't supposed to be quite this nerdy. The leader of the disaffected in next year's presidential election — the Howard Dean, the Ross Perot, the Pat Buchanan — is a kindly great-grandfather and obstetrician whose passion is monetary policy. Paul, a 72-year-old hard-core libertarian Republican Congressman who is against foreign intervention, subsidies and the federal income tax, is not only drawing impressive crowds (more than 2,000 at a postdebate rally at the University of Michigan last month) but also raising tons of cash. In the third quarter of 2007, Paul took in $5.3 million (just slightly less than GOP rival John McCain), mostly in small, individual donations. On Oct. 22, he aired his first TV ads, $1.1 million worth in New Hampshire.

Only a couple of miles to go!
I took this shot just past the Mt. Lemmon Ski area. We did the ride from the bottom to the top (7631 ft. of climbing) on my 43rd birthday. It took me about 4 hours and 20 minutes (that included a couple of 20-30 min rest stops along the way)
Great day for a bike ride. After reaching the top, we changed into our hiking clothes, and shouldered our backpacks, heading down to Rap Rock for 500ft of rockclimbing!
An excellent multi-sport adventure day!

Hot spice used to cool pain
Chemical from chili peppers is being tested on surgical wounds
peppers their fire, directly into open wounds during some
highly painful operations.
These experiments use an ultra-purified version of
capsaicin to avoid infection -- the volunteers are
under anesthesia so they don't scream at the initial burn.

Johnathan Goodwin can get 100 mpg out of a Lincoln Continental, cut emissions by 80%, and double the horsepower. Does the car business have the guts to follow him?

On Eating French
According to Hauben, the French Paradox isn’t a paradox at all, but a logical consequence of the traditional French way of life, which is less materialistic, less driven. “We need to slow down, think about our priorities, and ask ourselves what the point is of an expensive kitchen remodel when we don’t take the time to cook, and why we work so hard that we never have time to see the people we love,” she said. “Maybe if we traded some of our discretionary income for discretionary time, that would be the true luxury.”
