...theory, says Geodynamics chief executive Gerry Grove-White, there's enough heat in the rocks of the Cooper Basin, on which Innamincka sits, to replace all the coal-fired power stations in Australia for more than 250 years. He says one cubic kilometer of hot granite has about the same stored energy as 40 million barrels of oil. With several thousand cubic kilometers of these granites, Australia has enough heat to last millennia...
...risk for several health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. But almost no studies have been done evaluating the pros and cons of kids being fat yet active. Plus, reports on adults in similar situations have conflicted. Since the 1970s, doctors at the nonprofit Cooper Institute in Dallas have gathered data from more than 100,000 patients who have been weighed, measured and made to run on treadmills while their vital signs are monitored. "We've long concluded that people who are overweight and active can be healthier than those who are thin but sedentary...
...overweight kids stay healthy with exercise alone as they age? The jury's still out. For adults, Cooper's theory has recently been challenged. A Harvard-affiliated study released in April showed that being active can lower but does not eliminate heart risks faced by heavy women. Assessing nearly 39,000 middle-aged women over a period of 11 years, researchers determined that the odds for developing heart disease were 54% higher in overweight active women and 87% higher in obese active women compared with normal-weight active women. Women who were normal weight but inactive faced only...
Amid all this back-and-forth, however, there is one point that everyone agrees on: exercise definitely improves a child's overall sense of well-being. Cooper, who invented aerobics a generation ago, has been testing the physical fitness of schoolchildren over the past decade and has consistently found that active kids do better academically, have fewer disciplinary issues and maintain better medical histories. "A child doesn't need to be a star athlete or a long-distance runner," Cooper says. "Even taking the stairs instead of an elevator has positive effects...
...Susan G. Komen Foundation to fight breast cancer. Amidst all this, the Black and White dominated MIT, beating every boat the Engineers sent up the river and missed the pace set by UCF’s varsity eight by just one second.Primed for Eastern Sprints, Radcliffe returned to the Cooper River in Camden and managed to put together a team second-place finish in points behind Wisconsin, which upset heavily favored Princeton for the Sprints title.Radcliffe placed fourth overall behind Georgetown, Princeton—boats that had beaten the Black and White earlier in the season—and Wisconsin...
