...developed country, but without any manners," Noguchi decided something had to be done. Returning to Everest in 2000, he climbed the mountain four times over the next four years with an international team that cleared nearly eight tons of waste from its slopes, including more than 400 discarded oxygen containers. Local Nepalese villagers didn't see the point of the project at first, but eventually joined in enthusiastically, realizing that their success could provide a potent example in their polluted country. "They said, 'We want to change Nepal from Mount Everest,'" Noguchi recalls...
...kind of faith interacts with politics. If we cannot know for sure at all times how to govern our own lives, what right or business do we have telling others how to live theirs? From a humble faith comes toleration of other faiths. And from that toleration comes the oxygen that liberal democracy desperately needs to survive. That applies to all faiths, from Islam to Christianity. In global politics, it translates into a willingness to recognize empirical reality, even when it disturbs our ideology and interests. From moderate religion comes pragmatic politics. From a deep understanding of human fallibility comes...
...Pills, supplements and hyperbaric chambers? It's all part of the modern-day medicine cabinet for wounded athletes. During an appearance on MTV Cribs three years ago, Owens was agog over the healing benefits of the chambers, which basically pump a high concentration of oxygen into patients under deep-sea pressures. The pure oxygen flows into the bloodstream, helping with wounds that might otherwise be difficult or impossible to heal, says Dr. Jeff Stone, medical director at the Hyperbaric Medicine Unit at Presbyterian Hospital's Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine in Dallas. The chambers have helped diabetics, cancer victims...
...that's not all: by pushing a button on the Gastrovac that breaks the vacuum, the device essentially turns the food into a sponge, sucking the poaching liquid into the pores where oxygen used to be. The result is a deep, penetrating flavor, without the need for a lot of butter or oil. And because food prepared in a Gastrovac has most of its oxygen removed, it oxidizes at much slower rates; sliced Gastrovac'ed peaches and apples can last days without turning brown. Thirty-five chefs have already purchased their own Gastrovacs, including Wylie Dufresne, Joan Roca...
...head of a pin. The ongoing scientific discovery of the unfolding of our early universe is far more important for people to understand than how to divide the solar system into sheep and goats. Our connection to those early epochs is not just academic. Many of the oxygen atoms we inhale were forged in those very first stars.
