Surf’s Up
La semana pasada aprendí a surfear (al fin! tenía años queriendo aprender) y hoy fue mi primer “surf trip.” Me fui hasta Silver Sands y alquilé una tabla. Las olas estaban bajitas pero bien para un grommet. Gocé muchísimo y me fue muy bien. Mi profesor -Junior- (de la semana pasada) estaba ahí dando clases y se quedó loco cuando le pasé por al lado. Estaba todo orgulloso y le contaba a todo el mundo de su pupilo. ¡Que nota! Si algún día están por Barbados y quieren aprender a surfear en una tarde, busquen a Junior en Zed’s Surfing Adventures… en la costa Sur, cerquita del aeropuerto.

The Deepest Hole
Damn Interesting » The Deepest Hole
Over forty years ago, researchers in the Soviet Union began an ambitious drilling project whose goal was to penetrate the Earth’s upper crust and sample the warm, mysterious area where the crust and mantle intermingle– the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or “Moho.” So deep is this area that the Russian scientists had to invent new ways of drilling, and some of their new methods proved quite inventive. But despite the valiant effort which spanned several decades, the Russians never reached their goal, and many of the Earth’s secrets were left undiscovered. The work done by the Soviets did, however, provide a plethora of information about what lies just beneath the surface, and it continues to be scientifically useful today. The project is known as the Kola Superdeep Borehole.

Rare counting ability induced by temporarily switching off brain region
BPS Research Digest: Rare counting ability induced by temporarily switching off brain region
Twelve healthy participants were given several chances to estimate,
from 50 to 150, how many blobs appeared on a computer screen. The blobs
appeared for just 1.5 seconds, and the number of blobs changed on each
attempt. Remarkably, the performance of ten of the subjects improved
drastically after Snyder’s team applied 15 minutes of low frequency
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to their left anterior temporal
lobe, a brain region that’s been implicated in autistic people with
rare counting and calcluating abilities.

Runners promote jogging backward - Yahoo! News
“It’s good for the hips, good for the legs, good for the trunk,” Gray said. “When you go backwards, your tummy becomes your back and creates a nice reaction for your abdominals. Putting it in reverse for a while is a pretty good deal.”

Descubren como romper el hielo
A high-tech way to defrost | CNET News.com
Humans have been getting rid of ice the wrong way for centuries, it turns out.Dartmouth College engineering professor Victor Petrenko, not to be confused with one of the Champions on Ice, has devised a way to use a burst of electricity to remove ice caked on walls or windows. For surfaces coated with a special film, the jolt gets rid of ice in less than a second, far less time than it takes to hack at it with an ice scraper.
