incredible things happening during pope francis’ visit to mexico:
The pontiff arrived for Mass at a Morelia stadium Tuesday to find a capacity crowd in a state of joyous tumult. Loudspeakers blared, a Mexican band played, and priests and seminarians danced in conga lines. Nuns waved blue pompoms. Francis circled the stadium in a golf cart to cries of “Papa, Papa!”
from “Which Type of Exercise Is Best for the Brain?,” about the form of exercise that may help bulk up the brain, according to a new study in rats:
Some of the animals were given running wheels in their cages, allowing them to run at will. Most jogged moderately every day for several miles, although individual mileage varied.
Others began resistance training, which for rats involves climbing a wall with tiny weights attached to their tails.
Still others took up the rodent equivalent of high-intensity interval training. For this regimen, the animals were placed on little treadmills and required to sprint at a very rapid and strenuous pace for three minutes, followed by two minutes of slow skittering, with the entire sequence repeated twice more, for a total of 15 minutes of running.
from ny mag about Noela Rukundo, whose husband tried to have her killed, but the would-be-killers let her go:
Rukundo then contacted the Kenyan embassies and her pastor in Melbourne, who helped her get home, and five days later, showed up at her own funeral just in time to see how much the community mourned her death (a lot!) and also to walk up to her husband and say, “Surprise, I’m still alive!” like a boss. A ghost boss. And then she turned her husband over to the authorities.

been a trying week, lots of arguing, unfortunately, hurt feelings, un-niceness on my part, too much work, don’t think ross likes having me office from home, and my head is screwed on too tight. face the facts, this month and a half is just going to be terrible. or not. but pretty rough most likely. just trying to zoom through.
