Six people were shot Tuesday in a neighborhood near downtown Jacksonville, police said.

 

Jakconsille Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Melissa Bujeda said all have non-life threatening injuries.

It also was not known whether the gunman was at large or among the dead.

Not enough info.

[archenemy]

obviously, guns should be outlawed.

 

So should pea shooters and sling shots.

 

The jury is still out on spitwad straws.

[olyclimber]

and gun ownership should be outlawed by the living dead.

[archenemy]

and Shaun of the Dead should be president

Why the hell do we need guns? umm simple, its not 1873 anymore! We don't!

 

Theres no stupid drunk dude on horsback wanting to kill us anymore. McDonalds is.

[archenemy]

find a cure for that or we won't need doctors either.

Then I'll be done with nearly 10 years of school and fall into the category of "bum status".

 

No way. We need heart disease and cancer. This society would crumble otherwise!

 

The drug companies have it GOOD. Just think, basically everything they produce works on symtoms of problems or problems that could be solved with ONE single drug: exercise!

 

I read a primate nutrition study a while back that showed that "active monkeys" stay lean and healthy no matter what they ate. Whereas the sedentary monkeys who were fed a "heart healthy diet" still all got heart disease and cancer and all died. The number one factor that would solve the health crisis in this country would be to reduce total INFLAMATION! ie. exercise and stress reduction - also, because exercise has inhibitory affects on appetite, the obesity epidemic would go away.

 

Yeah.

But doesn't exercise cause various inflamatory responses and corticol type release stuff?

[i_like_sun]

Yes, it does. The difference between training and overtraining is the [magnitude] and length of the Cortisol release.

 

When you exercise (in men) Testosterone levels jump to the occasion. Testosterone is anabolic to muscle tissues, and also increases fat burning by speeding up certain metabolic reactions. However, after a while, usually around 40 min. of high intensity exercise, testosterone levels drop, and Cortisol (the stress hormone) takes over.

 

Cortisol releases fatty acids and glucose for energy, but it also breaks down muscle protein. And that is bad.

 

When exercise is done within a range that the body can adapt to, it actually has very potent anti-inflamitory effects. Mild cortisol release is actually an ingeral component to life - without enough of it you would die (its part of the adaptation response). Also, type of exercise have different effects. Endurance tends to elicit longer, lower grade levels of cortisol and not so much muscle building testosterone. Strength training, especially BIG movements like squats and deadlifts, elicit way more testosterone and in the end a greater magnitude of cortisol (but you don't do power lifts as long as you jog for). Basically, you want some cortisol release in response to training. Thats how the body makes changes. Some research says that a 30% rise in post-training exercise is ideal for maximizing the adaptive response. Because of the hormonal response, that is partially why strength training is far superior to endurance training for maximizing body composition and building muscle.

 

Just look at Olympic sprinters. Not factoring in their genetic tendancy to have stacked muscle (myostatin) they do a lot of power lifts in their training. They want as much testoserone as possible to build as much fast twitch muscle as possible.

 

Is that a long enough ramble for you guys? I could go longer.....
