Royal Blues

May 13, 2010 11:31 AM

Trey Hillman won't get fired, and that's fine by me

trey-hillman-getty2.jpgAm I about to defend Trey Hillman?
Am I going to say he has earned the right to finish out his contract?
Will I suggest that he's a better fit for the Royals than whoever would be brought in to replace him if he were fired today?

Oh gosh, no. No, no, no, no.

Trey Hillman has been awful. He has baffled us, frustrated us, made us all so mad we wonder why we ever liked this team. Worse, he has endangered his players, played an active role in deciding many Royals losses and even thrown his own players under the bus when he and his staff made a boner.* And that's all just this week. This has been going on for two whole seasons.

*I have always wanted to use that word to describe a blunder. Thank you for indulging me. Carry on, now.

Trey Hillman is flat-out awful at his job. Rany and Craig outlined some of his more egregious offenses very well, so I won't repeat those things. And it has even been brought up in the KC Star that a lot of people are calling for Hillman's head on a platter.

I don't fully disagree with the Fire Trey Hillman crowd. Trey is employed and being paid, so he should either do an awesome job or gtfo, right?

But what would that accomplish? John Gibbons once intentionally walked Tony Pena, Jr. so I'm loathe to think he's the answer. I'm sure he's the guy the Royals would turn to in Hillman's absence, but that doesn't mean it's right. Even the best darn manager in baseball right now - whether you think that's Terry Francona, Joe Maddon, Jim Tracy or whomever* - could not make this team win.

*if you think the best manager in baseball is Tony La Russa, you are excused from this blog. Yuck.

The Royals suck. There might be more elegant ways to put it, but a spade is a spade and the Royals are the Royals. A better manager would not have let Yuni bat in the 8th last night, nor done any of the other things listed in the posts I linked above. But - aside from murdering Gil's arm because that one is a BIG deal - how much difference would a Joe Maddon have made? A manager can't make pitchers stop walking people. He can't make batters stop swinging at bad pitches. He could maybe let Kila Ka'aihue pick up a bat once in a while, but in the grand scheme of things - what's the point?

This season is lost. Whether SABR Trey is at the helm or someone else is, the Royals are still on a clear path to 100 losses. Some might point to the Rockies' mid-season manager switch for reasons to believe it could work, but the Rockies had a lot more talent. The Royals have a few fine pieces, sure. Greinke, Soria, Butler and maybe even Aviles could play for any Major League team. Kila could really be something special, of course. DeJesus is at least decent at everything. But the rest of the Royals are at best, just guys, and at worst, Yuni.

It's not that I think Hillman should keep his job. If I was awful at my job, I'd expect to be given my walking papers. If you were terrible at your job, you would anticipate a firing too. It's just that firing him is much too small of a solution to the Royals' problems. If Moore fires Treydaddy, he could say, "Look, fans, I did something! Now we just have to wait and see how this shakes out before we can move on with the Process." But Moore is the guy who is supposed to move the Process along anyway - he can give even a terrible manager better pieces to work with, and make this team better without making pointless personnel shifts.

Trey should either be fired this week - while it's still kind of early in the season - or not at all. As long as the players who fill out the roster are as collectively bad as they are, I suspect that the end result will be the same no matter which path Moore chooses.

Tamra Barney of the Real Housewives of Orange County will be making a special appearance on Bravo’s talkshow – Watch What Happens – tonight to discuss her split and impending divorce from hubby of 11 years, Simon Barney.

Simon, who took to his blog last week to shed some light on the couple’s marital issues, however has a stern warning for the network. “This is a private matter and should be discussed in a court of law, not on a reality show,” said Simon. “My entire family and especially my children have paid a very dear price for the success of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Orange County. If they choose to exploit my family at this difficult time, it would be disgusting.”

Tamra moved out of the couple’s house and into a two-bedroom apartment, leading Simon to file for divorce days later much to Tamra’s surprise according to sources. Simon has accused Tamra of being “verbally abusive and committed acts of disloyalty and infidelity.” Tamra has denied the accusations.

Tamra’s “arch nemesis” & costar Gretchen Rossi claims she was surprised to hear about the couple’s split. Here’s what Gretchen had to say about the Barney’s split on her blog –

“Well, the next subject is very interesting to me because I have a lot of questions when it comes to Tamra and Simon’s talk outside. Not because I care to talk about them, but because they care to talk about me. First, if what is being written in the press today is true about Simon filing for divorce then I am so very sad that Tamra and Simon could not work out their differences for their children’s sake. There were some pretty harsh accusations being made on Simon’s part about Tamra in those papers. I bring this up because I think in tonight’s episode when Simon is talking about how happy they are, it is obvious that Tamra does not feel the same way. I thought “poor guy he has no idea.” Then to hear Tamra say she “would leave him if it was just the two of them,” WOW! That was a reprehensible remark if you ask me, I would be so devastated if I heard my spouse say that about me on national TV. We never truly know what goes on behind closed doors now do we though. For a very long time now I have heard lots of things about their marriage and I have chosen to stay out of it and not comment because it was none of my business. The only thing I knew for sure was that things were a little off because I was CC’d on an e-mail last January from Simon to Tamra titled “Your BS and Lies.” It definitely made me question if their marriage was truly as solid as they tried to portray at times. No marriage is perfect but those were some pretty tough words to e-mail a spouse. I do believe that Simon loved Tamra almost to a fault and he tried to protect her, even from herself at times. From what I could see she would open her mouth about things without having all the facts and he would have to be behind her picking up the pieces. That to me is a man who stands by his woman, even when he knew she was wrong. Good on him for taking loyalty seriously.

This brings me to my next point about their conversation about me. I am completely confused on what it is that I did to him and his family as he states in his conversation with Tamra. This part of the show honestly made me laugh because they completely run themselves over with contradictions, and I don’t even think they know it. I seriously had to watch it over a couple of times to try to understand what in the heck they were talking about! Simon starts out by saying that, “I said things that were so nasty about Tamra and that were reprehensible,” which is ironic because actually Tamra was the one that did that to me. I assume that the only problem Simon has with me is that I finally choose to speak about all the accusations that Tamra made about me in my blog on my website. I never considered those things to be nasty but rather just stating the truth from my point of view. I never called Tamra names or said nasty things I just pointed out inconsistencies and holes in their stories. I also really needed to write that blog for Jeff’s sake. If Jeff were still alive they would have never gotten away with the stuff they have pulled.

Simon continues by saying that I “say one thing and do another,” but unfortunately I am afraid he might be projecting his feelings towards his own wife on me. We have seen Tamra consistently doing this in many of the past episodes. Then I seriously laughed out loud when Tamra said that she would forgive me but not forget!!! For what? Seriously I must need a good slap across my face, can someone please tell me what in the world I ever did to this girl? With that said let me be clear, I certainly do NOT need to answer to them about anything let alone be forgiven by them for anything. And if you remember I told you guys that Tamra actually came to me finally and apologized for her actions while doing an E! segment, so something is very off to me in this conversation. Then Simon goes on saying, “I don’t want to be around people like that or be involved in their lives!” But they are the ones who continued to make false accusations about me, and then just recently challenged me to a lie detector test through press outlets and their blog, now if that is not contradictory I don’t know what is! News flash, you guys KEEP INSERTING YOURSELVES INTO MY LIFE, not the other way around! I really don’t care about what Tamra and Simon do, I don’t want to talk about them and never cared too, I don’t need to talk about them, I have way to many other things going on to discuss. I only speak about them when asked direct questions about their accusations about me, and if you notice majority of their interviews out there, they are always talking about me in some shape or fashion. Stop talking about me! You guys are making yourselves crazy!”

The Hills

As the remaining few minutes of their 15 minutes of fame continues to tick down, the behavior and actions of Heidi Montag and her husband Spencer Pratt continues to get more outrageous.

The latest is now that The Hills star and her husband decided to call the cops on Heidi’s mom, Darlene Egelhoff, yesterday after she made a surprise visit to her L.A.-area home.

“My mom [Darlene Egelhoff] just showed up to the house unannounced… and after what she did to me on national TV, I have no desire to see her,” Heidi, 23, told TMZ, referring to her mom’s disapproval of her 10 plastic surgeries in one day.

According to Heidi, she immediately notified her personal security team when Darlene began “pounding on the door.” Spencer adds, “She’s gone. The cops took her away.” Heidi then reveals she plans on getting a restraining order against her mother. “Her showing up is completely out of line and psychotic,” Heidi says. “I’m getting a restraining order against her.”

Interestingly enough, this week’s cover of US Weekly magazine details a cover story about Heidi being controlled by Spencer. According to the article, Spencer has “preyed” on Heidi’s insecurities and ruined her self-esteem. Spencer is also said to have scary “rage issues” and his former pals fear he could “snap at any minute.” It’s also said that their sad and desperate hunger for fame has left them friendless.

The lives of these two continues to become increasingly sad and pathetic. Almost everything they do in their lives is done for publicity. It’s difficult for us to know what’s real and what’s fake with them. Heidi was already on the phone with TMZ while her mom was still allegedly knocking on her door. At the rate they continue to carry on, they might be headed for a tragic ending.

spencer Darlene Egelhoffheidi-pratt

Just when we think we’ve seen the worst of Spencer Pratt, the guy manages to out-douche himself. The latest victim of The Hills star is none other than his mother in law, Darlene Egelhoff.

Spencer had some choice words for his wife, Heidi Montag’s mother, on the latest episode of the Hills. Apparently the vile reality star’s disdain for his mom-in-law stems from Darlene’s criticism of Heidi’s unnecessary 10 plastic surgery procedures, all which she had done in one day.

“How do I go and say that of course I thought you were more beautiful before?” said Darlene to Heidi on a previous episode. “I thought you were younger, I thought you were fresher-looking, I thought you were healthier.”

Spencer, 26, then decided to snap during last night’s episode, saying the following about his wife’s mom. “She’s not God,” said Spencer. “She didn’t make Heidi. She’s just a vagina!”

And it doesn’t end there. Spencer’s attack of Darlene continues both on and off the show. According to TMZ, a bank in Colorado is foreclosing on an undeveloped piece of property owned by Darlene, on which she owes $187,385.62 on a $189k loan she took out in 2006.

Spencer was then reached for comment, and he had the following to say, “If that’s true … that is the best news I’ve heard all day long.”

And the clock continues to tick on his 15 minutes…

Heidi Spencer Prattsnooki-boyfriend-emilio

There’s a new shocking report by UsWeekly magazine claiming The Hills star Heidi Montag might be addicted to painkillers after undergoing 10 plastic surgery procedures last year.

According to US, sources on the set of The Hills fear that the 23 year-old reality star is in trouble.  “She’s a shell of her former self,” a show insider reveals. The source adds that Heidi and her husband, Spencer Pratt, have developed increasingly weird behavior, which includes falsely accusing the Hills creator of sexual harassment, and Spencer threatening the life of a female producer.

“They are addicted to the fame,” the source says. “As The Hills winds down and people start to care less, they are desperate to get back that high.”

In other news, PEOPLE magazine is reporting that Spencer has created a dating reality show for Emilio Masella, the ex-boyfriend of Jersey Shore star Snooki.  Despite only being dumped by Snooki just two weeks ago for being a famewhore, it seems Emilio is wasting zero time in moving on.

Apparently Spencer has a production company (who knew?), Pratt Productions, and has teamed up with Emilio for his new dating show, Fist Pumping for Love, which will follow Emilio as he travels the country “in search of love.”

“I am tired of these fake Italian girls,” said Emilio, who dated Snooki (real name Nicole Polizzi) for four months. “I want a real guid-ette who can speak Italian, so we are prepared to take my search from Hollywood, Calif., to the streets of Howard Beach in Queens, N.Y.”

Adam DiVello and Heidi Montag

With the recent announcement that this season of MTV’s The Hills will be the last, comes news that attentionwhores Heidi Montag and husband Spencer Pratt might be planning a lawsuit against MTV.  It seems these two refuse to go out without a bang.

“Sources” reveal exclusively to PerezHilton that Heidi is now accusing the Hill’s creator and executive producer, Adam Divello, of touching her inappropriately. Apparently, the  alleged ‘sexual assault’ happened after Heidi’s recent multiple cosmetic procedures, and the inappropriateness included Adam repeatedly touching Heidi’s “ass cheeks and lower back.”

This is apparently the reason for Heidi needing her six bodyguards. “Spencer and Heidi are very close to bringing legal action against the show,” claims an insider.  It is also common knowledge that Heidi and Spencer are good friends with Perez, so they are likely the “insiders and sources” who leaked this story to him.

The “insider” even alleges that Adam has also been inappropriate with other Hills stars such as Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge.  Lauren has however come out denying any claims of harassment by Adam. Lauren released the following statement, “Similar to most of my fellow MTV cast mates, I am in utter shock at the allegations made against Adam DiVello.  Not only are they completely absurd, but they are 100 percent without merit. Adam is a true professional and a wonderful person to work for.”

A lot of people, including us, are not buying this.   This is likely just a retaliation for Spencer being kicked off the show one month ago, after he threatened the life of one of the show’s female producers.  Let’s hope these two will continue to burn bridges, and hopefully use up the few remaining minutes left of their original fifteen.

Heidi Montag Bikini Post Surgery

So what do you do after you spend over $35,000 getting 10 cosmetic procedures done in one day? Well if you’re Heidi Montag, star of MTV’s The Hills, the next step is to show it off ofcourse!

The 23 year-old porn star reality star sported a bikini for the first time since her widely publicized surgeries. Heidi hosted the Liquid Pool at Aria at CityCenter Las Vegas this Saturday.

Heidi also recently revealed to Ryan Seacrest that depending on the bra, her circus tits breasts are now size “E or F”. And in case you’re wondering, some of Heidi’s procedures included liposuction on her thighs and stomach.

“I haven’t been in a bikini since my new body and of course I’m wearing my own designs so I’m excited to show the world,” she said. According to PEOPLE, Heidi was surrounded by her six bodyguards as well as her pimp husband, Spencer Pratt.

the Hills

The end of The Hills is near, as MTV has announced the final season of their hit show will premiere April 27.

And if you expected the show to nicely fade into the sunset, you are mistaken, as the season’s trailer shows it will be going out with a bang! We can expect the cast confronting Kristin Cavallari on her alleged drug use. Heidi also uses the D word when talking about her marriage with Spencer, divorce that is, though the couple now claims all is well in their marriage. Evidently the show’s script must have called for marital problems.

Moving on, we see some flirtation between the newly single Brody Jenner and his ex Kristin. Audrina Patridge is happily in a relationship with musician Ryan Cabrera. And finally, we will see the widely talked about reunion between new faced Heidi and her mother: “I just can’t do this anymore,” said Heidi, who then attempted to cry, while looking to be in pain. This was taped not too long after her 10 surgery procedures.

In other news, Heidi Montag has been acting like a diva on the set of the Hills according to Heidi herself and her fellow castmates. It all started when Heidi showed up to a photo shoot with 6 bodyguards, and then “refused to take part in a group shot, even though she had agreed to it beforehand.” MTV will reportedly photoshop her into the group shot later on.

When asked about the diva behavior? “I’m a movie star now!” exclaimed Heidi, who just finished filming a very small cameo role on Just Go With It, which stars Jennifer Aniston. Heidi then proceeded to post a photo of her with six bodyguards on her facebook page. That photo is below.

Spencer Pratt, 26, chimed in, telling UsWeekly, “It’s all true. She was sick and she didn’t even want to go to that photo shoot!” He continues, “She always travels with a security team.”

Hills Castheidi-spencer-pratt

It seems MTV has run out of scripts as they are now announcing the upcoming season of The Hills will be the last.

The new and seventh season of the MTV reality show will debut April 27 with the airing of 12 episodes. “I think we’ve told the story of struggle and of finding yourself in L.A.,” creator Adam DiVello told Entertainment Weekly of the show.

Once upon a time, the Hills was MTV’s highest rated show, but has taken a recent hit in the past 2 years with low ratings. This past season brought a big decrease in ratings for MTV compared to the success and high ratings of their new hit – The Jersey Shore, which is currently filming its second season in Miami.

So what can we expect from the final season? It will kick off with Heidi Montag heading to Colorado to visit her parents, who see the results of her 10 plastic surgeries for the first time.

We can also expect to see Audrina Patridge dating singer Ryan Cabrera, and Kristin Cavallari dealing with rumors of drug abuse. “When Kristin was in Miami for the Super Bowl, there was definitely some late nights for her and some speculation that she might be partying a little too hard,” explains executive producer Liz Gateley. “So we’re definitely going to cover that part of Kristin. We’re pretty much covering everything you’ve read [about in the tabloids].” Also look for Stephanie Pratt to be dealing with sobriety, coming off her DUI last year.

When asked if the show’s biggest star, Lauren Conrad, would be returning to end this season, the show’s creator played coy, however promising a satisfying conclusion.

And unfortunately, despite the reports that Spencer Pratt was kicked off the show for 6 weeks for threatening a female producer, we can still expect to see him in most of the episodes, threatens promises DiVello.

Heidi Montag On Hills Set

Well that didn’t last long. The Hills media whore star Heidi Montag has fired her new psychic manager Aiden Chase, just a week after hiring him reports PEOPLE magazine.

“I have decided to part ways with Mr. Chase both as a manager and as a psychic and will scrutinize my business decisions more carefully in the future,” Heidi, 23, told PEOPLE. “I will now be managing my own career as a strong and independent woman.”

Heidi continues, “Unfortunately recent behavior by Mr. Chase on set of both Just Go With It starring Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman and [on] The Hills have made me question this decision.”

According to “sources,” Heidi was “horrified” when he showed up on set, “demanding a significant portion of her Hills money.”

The “source” Spencer Pratt also adds that when Chase, 40, was on the Hills’ set, he tried to “move onto Audrina [Patridge],” whom he not only offered his healing/spiritual services but also asked to be her manager, the insider tells Us.

Chase however defends himself, saying, “Heidi invited me to the set of Just Go With It and the terms of our financial agreement are in line with standard manager/talent agreements,” he says. “I spoke with Audrina Patridge briefly when I was on the set of The Hills with Heidi recently, but never discussed being her manager.”

In other Heidi news, she recently filmed a scene for The Hills’ with some of her co-stars, photos of that below –

Pruss on Forming an Actual Infinite by Successive Addition

Alexander Pruss has suggested a counterexample to a priori arguments for the finite age of the universe on his blog.

An Alpha-widget (AW) spends a year playing the violin, and then make a copy of themselves. Each AW takes only half the time to make a copy of itself that was spent in it's own creation. So each generation of AWs produces the next in half the time it took for it's own creation. It is possible for an alpha-widget to be made over the period of a year. So there would be a potentially infinite but never completed sequence of alpha-widgets coming into existence: the first at the beginning of year zero, the second at year 1.5, the third at year 2.75. this seems to be logically possible.

However if Alpha Widgets are possible so are Beta Widgets (BW). A BW does the same thing as an AW but in opposite order: it first makes the almost-duplicate in half the time it took to be made itself, and then plays the violin for a year. if a beta-widget is made in a year, then half a year later, it makes another beta-widget. That one, then, makes another in a quarter of a year. And so on. By the time two years are up, we have an infinite number of beta-widgets produced by successive addition. Or so Dr Pruss claims. (BWs aren't producing potential infinites, so far as I can see).

I can't see any reason for denying that a Beta Widget is possible - but a real actual infinite seems absurd.

Now is it simply better to claim that actual infinities are not realizable in space-time? But that one may exist in thought (God could count up to one, or hold an infinite number of thoughts in his head). For it does seem that it is the physicality of Hilbert's Hotel that jars us.

I'm confused. Dr Pruss and you both seem to be correct - but you both can't be. Please help, before I start believing in Kantian antinomies.

When I first read your question, Graham, I thought to myself, “Surely, he’s confused! This can’t be an accurate rendering of Pruss’s argument.” So I emailed Alex to obtain the original, and to my surprise I found that you have, indeed, faithfully rendered his objection!

It seems to me that Alex’s argument is just a very confusing and needlessly complex elaboration of a simple objection already made by detractors of the kalam cosmological argument.

The Alpha widget thought experiment is terribly confusing, not simply because of its superfluous details about violin playing and so forth, but because as described it just makes no sense. (If you doubt this, just try to draw a timeline of what is described.) In the first place, the story requires that there be a year zero. But in our calendar system we move from 1 B.C to A.D. 1, and there just is no year zero. So we might think that by “the beginning of year zero,” Alex is speaking hypothetically of a timeline which does feature a year zero, at the beginning of which the first Alpha widget comes into being. But then we’re told that an Alpha widget has the property of making another widget in half the time in which it was made. That immediately raises the question as to how much time it took to make the first Alpha widget. Well, Alex says the second one was made during the interval 1.0 to 1.5. Since that’s half the time it took to make the first widget, the first one must have been made in a year’s time. That implies that the first widget must have been created between -1.0 and the beginning of year 0. Then all the days of year 0 it played around until December 31 of year 0. But then what happened? It’s supposed to create another widget, right? But it didn’t! Instead it played around for another year from 0 to 1.0 before starting to create, which contradicts the story conditions.

That might make us think that Alex doesn’t, in fact, envision a year 0 but thinks that God created the first widget instantaneously at the beginning of year 1, so that the point designated by 0, at which the first widget came into being, is the first point of year 1 and perhaps even the beginning of time itself. Then that widget played around for a year before beginning to create at 1.0. But then, since the first widget came into being instantaneously, the second should be created in half that time, which, if this makes any sense at all, must mean instantly at 1.0, not 1.5, as the story conditions require.

The only sense I can make of this story is that the first widget was made between 0 and 1.0, so that it comes to exist at the end of year 1. Then between 1.0 and 2.0 it did nothing. Then between 2.0 and 2.5 it created a second widget. This one waits around until 3.5, and then it creates a third widget between 3.5 and 3.75. And so on.

So the idea is that we have a series of intervals, each separated by a year, converging toward zero as a limit: 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, . . . . It’s the constant one year intervals separating these progressively shrinking intervals that’s supposed to make this sort of series unobjectionable, for it can never be completed. I’m not sure that this feature of the story does serve to render the scenario metaphysically possible; but never mind: the question at issue is whether the possibility of such a sequence implies that the Beta widget scenario is metaphysically possible.

Now the Beta widget scenario, which is also confusingly described, basically removes the one year intervals separating the creation periods. The first widget comes to exist at 1.0, the second comes to exist at 1.5, the third at 1.75, and so on. But then we see that, stripped of its window dressing, this scenario is just the old supertask objection all over again. The first task takes one minute to perform, the second takes a half-minute, the third a quarter minute, and so on. At the end of two minutes an infinite supertask has been magically completed. There’s nothing new here.

Nor is there any reason to think that the metaphysical possibility of the Alpha scenario implies the possibility of the Beta scenario. Indeed, removing the one year intervals plausibly makes all the difference in the world!

Perhaps the intuitive force of Pruss’s illustration is that Alpha and Beta widgets both seem to be essentially the same sort of machine: a machine that makes a successor in half the time it was made. Such a machine seems possible in the one case but not in the other; but surely, the metaphysical possibility of such a machine doesn’t depend on the contingent fact of whether it waits around for a year before starting to make a successor! It seems to me, however, that so to reason is to forget that it is the metaphysical possibility of the whole scenario that is at stake, not some isolated fact about a machine. And then the difference of the one year intervals does make the scenarios quite disanalogous.

You should realize that Alexander Pruss has a mind that is never at rest and is constantly toying with new arguments. He likes to throw them up against the wall and see if they stick. You’ll notice that he himself doesn’t say that he finds this proffered argument convincing. Indeed, if you’ll look at his exchange with Wes Morriston at http://prosblogion.ektopos.com/archives/2009/03/how-god-could-c.html you’ll find a stimulating defense on Pruss’s part of kalam arguments against forming an actual infinite by successive addition. For example, he says,

why can't Craig say this:

(*) Any stretch of the process starting at the beginning but ending short of the two hour mark is possible, but the process as a whole is not possible.

There are, after all, processes satisfying (*). For instance, consider the following process. During the first hour, God says: ‘I promise that next year I will create finitely many horses, at least one in number.’ During the next half hour, God says: ‘I promise that next year I will create finitely many horses, at least two in number.’ During the next 15 minutes, God says: ‘I promise that next year I will create finitely many horses, at least three in number.’ And so on. The process truncated at any length of time short of 2 hours is possible. But the process going for the whole two hours is impossible, since then God would have made an incompossible set of promises (to satisfy all the promises, he’d have to create a finite number of horses which exceeds every integer), and an essentially morally upright God can’t do that.

He also observes that Morriston’s sort of objections seems to make one vulnerable to so-called Grim Reaper Paradoxes (see brief discussion in my and Jim Sinclair’s article in the new Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology.) I think Pruss’s mind is still unsettled on this whole question. (In fact, as this Answer was about to go online, I received the following email from him: “Bill, On the other hand, I just posted an argument on the other side: http://alexanderpruss.blogspot.com/2009/05/is-time-continuum.html.”)

Finally, I want to add that this sort of objection is in a sense quite besides the point with respect to the possibility of the sequential formation of an infinite past. For these so-called supertasks all envision tasks featuring infinite progressions of ever shorter intervals. But the formation of an infinite past by successive addition involves the completion of tasks featuring an infinite number of intervals of equal duration. Achilles may be able to cross the stadium, but how he can traverse an actually infinite past remains, to my mind, deeply problematic.

FM to meet regulators ahead of budget

January 30, 2013 20:40 IST

Finance Minister P Chidambaram will meet financial sector regulators tomorrow to seek their inputs for the Budget with a view to improving investment climate and boosting economy.

"He (Chidambaram) will chair the meeting of Financial Stability and Development Council (FSDC) on January 31," sources told PTI.

The high-level FSDC, which comprises heads of RBI, Sebi, IRDA and PFRDA, coordinates the working of regulators and looks at economic and financial issues.

With most PSU banks reporting a rise in non-performing assets (NPAs), the meeting is likely to focus on recovery of loans, financing of infrastructure projects in oil, power and real estate sectors, sources said.

The bad loans of PSU banks rose to Rs 143,000 crore (Rs 1.43 trillion) as on September 31, 2012 from Rs 112,000 crore (Rs 1.12 trillion) as on March 31, 2012.

The meeting will also review the initiatives taken by the RBI and Sebi for strengthening corporate bond market with a view to help India Inc raise long-term funds in a cost-effective

Though India has a very advanced G-sec (government securities) market, corporate bond market is relatively under-developed.

Among other things, issues like slowing growth, persistent inflationary pressures, rising gold imports and growing fiscal and current account deficits will figure during the discussions, they said.

The financial sector regulators likely to attend the meeting include RBI Governor Duvvuri Subbarao, Sebi Chairman U K Sinha, Pension Fund and Regulatory Development Authority (PFRDA) Chairman Yogesh Aggarwal and secretaries in the Finance Ministry.

Chidambaram will present the Budget proposals for 2013-14 in the Lok Sabha on February 28.

Formula One: 'Indian GP will return in 2015'

October 13, 2013 19:32 IST

The future of Indian Grand Prix might be uncertain after this year's race but host Jaypee Sports International Limited's CEO Sameer Gaur says the country will not lose the Formula One event and will surely have two more races.

Speculation is rife that Indian fans will see an F1 race for one last time at home when the caravan will arrive in Greater Noida on October 27.

However, Gaur assured that they will host five races as per their contract.

"I feel that no one should think that Indian GP will not come. Indian GP will return in 2015. There should be no fears at all," Sameer Gaur, who is also JPSI MD, said.

India GP Buddha Circuit"The general feeling may be there that we will lose the race but this (feeling) is there maybe because the economy is a bit down. But we will surely host two more races and let's see what happens after five years."

The 2014 edition of Indian GP has been scrapped and the World Superbike round has also been postponed twice.

The WSBK was to make India debut at the Buddh International Circuit in March this year but was later rescheduled for November. However, recently it was postponed again indefinitely due to lack of marshals training.

Asked If JPSI is feeling the heat with the cancellation of two big events, Gaur said there was no such worry.

"We are not worried at all. When you say it is tough time, then only tough people last," Gaur said confidently.

F1 czar Bernie Ecclestone had cited political problems for the scrapping of the 2014 round but Gaur said that was not the case.

"If Indian GP will not be there in 2014, it is for logistical reasons. We wanted to do the 2014 race in October but FIA wanted it in March. For us October is the right time and not March, so we decided to not have a GP next year," he claimed.

Gaur, however, did acknowledge the bureaucratic problems in getting the clearances for bringing in the equipment and also long delays in getting refunds from the government.

JPSI pays about Rs 60 crore for the import of goods such as cars, tyres, fuel and get their money back after two per cent deduction when things are sent back. Duties are levied on goods which are consumed, such as fuel and wine, during the hosting of event.

"Custom is not a problem as long as we get the refund back but yes, the time taken in getting the refund, it takes six to eight months, that is a problem," he said.

JPSI contributes Rs 10 crore annually towards National Sports Development Fund but yet they do not share a very good rapport with the authorities. The past Sports Ministers had refused to even recognise F1 as sport.

Gaur said they have made efforts in changing the perception about the sport but national sports federation, FMSCI, has a major role to play in it.

"We have approached the government, it is a different sport and they should recognise it. And it is not for us to convince them but for FMSCI to convince them. The governing body should do it," he said.

Gaur recognised the fact they need to have more events at the BIC to sustain and maintain the massive facility, which got thumbs up from drivers as well as the FIA administration.

"The track cost is Rs 1800 crore and then if you count license fee every year we pay, the investment comes to about 3500 crore or 4000 crore, but JPSI is not only a sports company, it's also a real estate company. But we do need more races and more events. In 2015 we should have more races since the facility (BIC) will be there. There have to be continuous activities at BIC."

Gaur also admitted that JPSI was hoping to touch the break-even point in five to seven years but since there would be a gap of one year in 2014, "break-even will be delayed further".

Samsung’s Galaxy S II smartphone will soon be available in a white version, Redmond Pie has learned.

The Galaxy S II was announced back in February at Mobile World Congress and was released in May to select countries. It is one of, if not, the most well-received Android smartphone to date. Critics have been lauding it for the outstanding experience that it offers on its glorious 4.3” Super AMOLED Plus display with its dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB RAM.

The phone is currently available in black only, but Samsung has announced that a white version is coming too!

The white model will be released in the United Kingdom (sorry, folks of the United States) on 1st September at major carrier retailers.

The difference is of color only, thankfully, so you’ll be getting the same experience as you would from the black model, reaffirming the belief that it is not the color but what is inside that really matters.

Here’s how it looks like:

Samsung’s most powerful Smartphone yet now available in white from the 1st September

29 July 2011, London, UK – Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., today announces that following the success of the original Galaxy S II released in May this year, the popular handset will now also be available in white in the UK from the 1st September 2011. The sleek and stylish Galaxy S II is the first handset to offer Samsung’s Super AMOLED Plus screen technology, the largest, brightest and most colourful screen available in Samsung’s portfolio of devices.

Samsung’s Galaxy S II smartphone is the fastest-selling phone in the company’s history, having sold 3 million units in 55 days and then, as we reported yesterday, 5 million units in 85 days. Quite a milestone for a non-Apple smartphone!

It is the fastest Android smartphone available in the market today, having a dual-core CPU clocked at 1.2GHz (overclock-able to 1.5Ghz!) and 1GB of RAM. Its optics also pack quite the punch, having an outstanding 8MP camera that also shoots video at Full HD 1080p. All this is experienced on a brilliant 4.3” Super AMOLED Plus display that really has no equal today.

First 3-D Model Created Of A Protein Critical To Embryo Development

The first detailed and complete picture of a protein complex that is tied to human birth defects as well as the progression of many forms of cancer has been obtained by an international team of researchers led by scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)´s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). Knowing the architecture of this protein,  PRC2, for Polycomb Repressive Complex 2, should be a boon to its future use in the development of new and improved therapeutic drugs.

“We present a complete molecular organization of human PRC2 that offers an invaluable structural context for understanding all of the previous biochemical and functional data that has been collected on this complex,” says Berkeley Lab biophysicist Eva Nogales, an electron microscopy expert who led this research. “Our model should also be an invaluable tool for the design of new experiments aimed at asking detailed questions about the mechanisms that enable PRC2 to function and how those mechanisms might be exploited.”

Nogales, who holds joint appointments with Berkeley Lab, the University of California (UC) at Berkeley, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), is one of two corresponding authors of a paper describing this research in the journal eLife. The paper is titled “Molecular Architecture of Human Polycomb Repressive Complex 2.” The other corresponding author is Claudio Ciferri, previously a postdoctoral fellow in the Nogales Lab, now with Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostic. Additional authors are Gabriel Lander, Alessio Maiolica, Franz Herzog and Ruedi Aebersold.

The link between PRC2 and embryonic development is well-established not just for humans but across the board for eukaryotic organisms. For example, studies with mice have shown that the deletion of any of PRC2´s components results either in the death of an embryo or severe defects during the critical stages of early development. It is also well-established that PRC2 helps control the differentiation (specialization) of embryonic stem cells by acting to silence certain genetic messages with the nucleus of a cell.

“PRC2 controls stem cell differentiation by regulating the expression of specific genes through the binding and methylation of histones, the proteins in chromatin that help bundle DNA into nucleosomes,” Nogales explains. “This is why PRC2 has been one of the top targets in drug development efforts by pharmaceutical companies.”

Despite the numerous biochemical and molecular studies that have been done on PRC2, little has been known about the protein´s overall architecture and the manner in which its different components interact to coordinate histone-binding and methylation. Nogales, Ciferri and their colleagues have closed this knowledge gap with their model, which they painstakingly constructed from data gathered via multiple sources including three-dimensional electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, protein biochemistry, crystal structure docking, and chemical cross-linking.

The 3D model they constructed features a structural reconstruction at 21 Angstroms and shows PRC2 with all its subunits and functional domains forming a complex with the protein called “AEBP2,” which serves as a stabilizing co-factor for PRC2. The PRC2-AEBP2 complex was shown to consist of four large lobes interconnected by two narrow arms. Clearly identified within this structure are regions where PRC2 and AEBP2 interact.

“This is a robust model that shows the overall architecture and domain organization of the PRC2-AEBP2 complex with unprecedented detail,” says Nogales. “From this model we can see how AEBP2 helps stabilize PRC2 and also how it plays a major role in coordinating the activity of different PRC2 subunits. Our model also provides us with a framework for understanding how various elements of the PRC2 complex involved in regulated histone modification can act either independently or synergistically in response to different chromatin environments.”

Not only does this new model put previous biochemical data on PRC2 in perspective, it also points the way to new testable hypotheses on how PRC2 interacts with chromatin that should inspire future research of PRC2 function and regulation. For example, from this model, Nogales, Ciferri and their co-authors have localized the molecular structures of individual domains involved in histone binding and methylation. The data suggests a mechanism as to how PRC2 might work in the chromatin environment.

“PRC2 is recruited at specific sites along the DNA that need to be silenced, aided by regulators such as AEBP2,” Nogales says. “Our domain localizations provide important information on how PRC2 can bind nucleosomes during the gene-silencing process. Such information can be used to guide specific deletion or cross-linking mutants for future drug design efforts.”

This research was supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and by funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Program PROSPECTS.

German Nuclear Exit Delivers Economic, Environmental Benefits

Following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in 2011, the German government took the nation's eight oldest reactors offline immediately and passed legislation that will close the last nuclear power plant by 2022. This nuclear phase-out had overwhelming political support in Germany. Elsewhere, many saw it as "panic politics," and the online business magazine went as far as to ask, in a headline, whether the decision was "Insane -- or Just Plain Stupid."

But a special issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, published by SAGE, "The German Nuclear Exit," shows that the nuclear shutdown and an accompanying move toward renewable energy are already yielding measurable economic and environmental benefits, with one top expert calling the German phase-out a probable game-changer for the nuclear industry worldwide.

In his overview article, "From Brokdorf to Fukushima: The long journey to nuclear phase-out," Princeton researcher Alexander Glaser puts the German nuclear exit in its historical context, which includes massive, civil war-like confrontations between antinuclear demonstrators and police. Because of longstanding public opposition to nuclear power, by the 1990s few in German political life seriously entertained the idea of new reactor construction. And, Glaser notes, Germany's decision last year to pursue a nuclear phase-out was anything but precipitous; serious planning to shutter the nuclear industry and greatly expand alternative energy production began more than a decade ago. "Germany's nuclear phase-out could provide a proof-of-concept, demonstrating the political and technical feasibility of abandoning a controversial high-risk technology. Germany's nuclear phase-out, successful or not, is likely to become a game changer for nuclear energy worldwide," Glaser concludes.

Also in the Bulletin's special issue on "The German Nuclear Exit": Freie UniversitÃ¤t Berlin politics professor Miranda Schreurs says the nuclear phase-out and accompanying shift to renewable energy have brought financial benefits to farmers, investors, and small business; Felix Matthes of the Institute for Applied Ecology in Berlin concludes the phase-out will have only small and temporary effects on electricity prices and the German economy; University of Kassel legal experts Alexander Rossnagel and Anja Hentschel explain why electric utilities are unlikely to succeed in suing the government over the shutdown; and Lutz Mez, co-founder of Freie UniversitÓ“t Berlin's Environmental Policy Research Center, presents what may be the most startling finding of all. The shift to alternative energy sources being pursued in parallel with the German nuclear exit has reached a climate change milestone, Mez writes: "It has actually decoupled energy from economic growth, with the country's energy supply and carbon-dioxide emissions dropping from 1990 to 2011, even as its gross domestic product rose by 36 percent."

MLB: Florida 4, Milwaukee 3

Josh Johnson struck out eight and allowed two runs over 7 2/3 innings Thursday in addition to hitting a three-run homer that lifted Florida past Milwaukee 4-3.

Johnson (5-1) limited the Brewers to five hits and Matt Lindstrom, despite giving up a lead-off single in the ninth, earned his 11th save.

The Marlins took three games in the four-game series. Johnson reduced his earn run average to 2.63.

Milwaukee starter Dave Bush (3-2) was hit on the elbow by a line drive off the bat of Hanley Ramirez in the first. Bush stayed on to pitch six innings, giving up four runs on seven hits.

Johnson's home run carried more than 400 feet over the wall in center. It finished off a four-run fourth inning and helped hand the Brewers their sixth loss in their last seven road games.

Western media’s positive spin on Israel

Pro-Israel media bias

By Jamal Kanj

Western media are obsessed with presenting a positive spin on everything related to Israel, while trivializing good and accentuating negative news on Palestine.

They’re admirably free in many aspects, but when it comes to discussing Israel the Western media lose their spark. Disingenuous news spin and Israeli pampering are doing the prospect of peace a great disservice.

Showing black as white

In 2003, the Israeli government of Ariel Sharon rejected a road map for peace by adding 14 conditions. Western media downplayed the provisions, emphasizing only Sharon’s pretence at approval.

Now, the same media want the public to believe that Israel’s anti-peace coalition lost seats in the current Israeli election.

At first glance, this may appear speciously accurate. But the media fail to impart that the pro-peace camp did not gain any new support.

While Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu may have lost direct party control over some members of the Knesset, this did not translate to a loss for the anti-peace crowd. That’s because the same exact number of seats – 11 – went to Netanyahu’s former acolyte Naftali Bennett. That means in this election the Israeli public voted in a far more radical anti-peace coalition. To the right of his former boss, Bennett’s Jewish Home party calls for the annexation of large parts of West Bank.

However, instead of focusing on this the Western media remained sanguine that another new self-proclaimed centrist party, Yesh Atid (There is a Future), won 19 seats. They ignored the fact that in 2009 another perceived centrist party, Kadima, won more seats than Netanyahu’s Likud party – but this hardly mattered. The anti-peace coalition of right-wing parties has maintained an overall majority in the Knesset. Meanwhile, Kadima – which ran on a national and pro-peace platform in 2009 – was reduced from 28 seats to just two.

Yesh Atid did well in this election after campaigning on domestic issues and calling for an end to military service exemption for ultra-Orthodox Israelis. Even though the new party received less than 45 per cent of the seats secured by the anti-peace camp, its leader Yair Lapid declared he would not enter the government unless Netanyahu was serious about peace negotiation. In reality, and on issues most critical to Palestinians, Lapid’s position does not differ much from the current anti-peace government.

The reality

In an article headlined “Lapid’s peace-process doublespeak”, Israeli newspaper Haaretz concluded that his party’s platform “does little to distinguish it from the hawkish agendas”. On the subject of occupied East Jerusalem, he believes Israel has “no existence without [East] Jerusalem”. He is so far out of touch that, according to Israeli peace activist Gershon Baski, he thinks by taking a firm stand he will “be able to convince the Palestinians to give up Jerusalem”.

Alon Pinkas, former Israeli consul general in New York, accused the new party of being “too vague” on peace negotiations. Sadly, even Lapid’s professed interest in “peace” stems from inhibited racism, a desire to preserve an ethnocentric nation and a wish to avoid living in a country “half Arab, half Jewish”.

Lapid belongs to the same school of deceptive Israeli leaders who claim to support a two-state solution and announce their readiness to make “painful sacrifices”, while impeding Palestinian statehood by building separation walls and illegal Jews-only colonies.

The Palestinian leadership must stop waddling. They need to behave like a recognized nation, not an observer of events, and they can’t afford to wait for a new Israeli government to emerge – or until the West recycles another peace plan for the same elusive Zionists.

With an indifferent world community and absence of tangible Arab support, the Palestinian leadership can’t give it another try as Jews-only colonies are disintegrating Palestine. It was Albert Einstein who defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.

From denial, wherein Democrats swept out of office have decided to keep the same party leaders in the same position, we are moving on to anger.

We have liberal writers positing Pelican Brief scenarios of dead Supreme Court Justices causing 4-4 preservations of Obamacare to others claiming the GOP wants to kill people.

Along the way, all the liberal tributes to the fall of the Berlin Wall are writing Reagan and Thatcher out of the history of the events. Because they weren't there the day the wall fell, they could not have had anything to do with it.

The Democrats and Republicans, interestingly, have a bit of the same problem.

Back in 2006, the GOP got swept out of office, and it has now been swept back into power. But the faces of its leadership have not changed. Boehner and McConnell are still there.

The Democrats now have decided to keep its faces the same too. Pelosi, Reid, and all of Obama's advisors will be the same.

There is one startling difference though. The GOP, since 2006, has engaged in a House cleaning due to its base. It has been challenged, people more connected to the ideals of limited government have come into power, and in 2014 we are going to see a more conservative House of Representatives with Cruz, Paul, Lee, Rubio, etc. still in the Senate.

The Democrats have seen the right of their party destroyed, the left of their party emboldened, and the heart of their party re-inforced. All that the public rejected on Tuesday is now the bedrock of the Democratic Party.

A party that won everything in 2008 and then doubled down on anger is never going to get to the final stage of grief and accept what happened. I hope the GOP and the conservative movement can break out of the anger that has so consumed so many of them. The American people are going to need one party with a smile and it looks like they won't get that from the Democrats.

For the last six days, all the public has gotten from the Democrats is an honest view of what the Democrats really belief, i.e. they hold the masses in contempt, believe government is the answer, and if the public does not like that the public is a collaborator with the enemy.

Conservatives, be happy again. America needs someone on their side and the best the Democrats have is wishing death on Supreme Court Justices and accusing Republicans of killing everyone else.

You know, when two of the nation's most powerful union bosses attack an idea on the same day, it says three things: First, it means that the union bosses are following the GOP candidates very closely; second, an idea that strikes their sacred cows makes them nervous; and, third, there's probably something to the idea that is worth looking further into.

Apparently, Herman Cain's plan to create "opportunity zones" as part of his "999" plan is something that makes AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka and Teamsters boss James P. Hoffa uneasy, both of whom seem fine keeping lower income Americans unemployed and poor, as long as it doesn't disturb their union fiefdoms.

According to Fox News:

Taking aim at minimum wage laws, union protections, and even local building codes, Herman Cain has put the finishing touches on the last missing piece of his signature “9-9-9” plan – an elaborate proposal to create “opportunity zones” in inner-city America that the GOP presidential candidate will unveil during a major campaign appearance in Detroit on Friday morning.

To qualify for zone status under Cain’s plan, a given jurisdiction will have to enact policies the unions consider anathema – such as the elimination of the minimum wage, the provision of school vouchers, or the declaration of a zone as a “right-to-work” area.

Leading figures in organized labor swiftly attacked the Cain proposal.

Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa told Fox News in an emailed statement: “Herman Cain’s ‘Opportunity Zones’ appear to be an opportunity for corporate America to exploit workers and turn the United States into a third-world country.” [Emphasis added.]

It probably isn't worth mentioning to Hoffa that America's multi-trillion dollar debt, the Obama Administration's attacks on business (urged and coordinated with union bosses), as well as the policies promulgated by the Left for the last 80 years are driving the nation to third-world faster than a Teamster-driven truck.

Cain's proposal also drew fire from AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka.

Unfortunately for those who live in what could be 'opportunity zones,' union bosses seem to want to keep the unemployed and impoverished under the union yoke.

Instead of holding people in poor areas hostage to unions, perhaps it's time to consider giving opportunities to those who otherwise have none.

“I bring reason to your ears, and, in language as plain as ABC, hold up truth to your eyes.” Thomas Paine, December 23, 1776

reunions image20th Reunion Chatter

Rebels Rising

reunion image
The Class of ’86 celebrates Olde Reed by parading from the library’s old entrance—now a fire exit.

Members of the “Rebel Class of 1986” held true to form at the 20th reunion. On Saturday afternoon, reveling in memories and memorabilia (from both the takeover of President Bragdon’s office and the occupation of Eliot Hall), a group of rabble rousers formed its own starting place for the all-class parade. Preserving the memory of “Olde Reed,” and harkening back to thesis parades of yore, we split from the main parade and gathered around the bushes and emergency exit of the old library, before cheering our way back to the main throng. Of course, not all of our class succumbed to the rebellious peer pressure, holding true to form 20 years later.

Later, partaking in the Renn Fayre-like (yet family-friendly) atmosphere of Reunions, Gretchen Gibbs enthusiastically enticed the grownups onto the bouncy slide, and was quickly followed by John Manzo, who was indeed graceful on his journey down (we have the photos to prove it). Manzo proved to be quite the master of ceremonies and promised to corral an even bigger crowd for the next reunion, all the while reminding one alumna that she still owed him $15 for a television from way back when. (Charge denied!)

The Saturday evening marimba band brought creaky limbs to the dance floor. Rabeca Reese (MALS) remarked: “I enjoyed seeing these Reedies still dancing 20 years on—most dancing the same dances, but in the cool light of the outdoors, rather than the deep dimness of the old commons pit. They looked pretty good!”

As the evening wound down, the rebels commandeered the Winch social room for beer and ’80s music (compiled by Adam Whiting, of course). While not as loud as in the old days—when we had more energy and hair (not to mention beer)—the dancing went until dawn, the crew had a blast looking at old photos (brought by Whiting, Grace Richter, myself, and many others), and laughing about escapades far too interesting and depraved to mention here.

Throughout, the 29 class members and 31 guests had a great time together; the only downside was that more did not attend (where were you all?). There were surprise visits from James McQuillan, Caitlin Cray ’87, Marya Zlatnik ’88, Bret Fetzer ’87 (who was awesome in his show on Saturday night), and Eric Gier ’87; many photos, scrapbooks (especially from the divestment struggle), and old Quests (damn, we were serious in those days); and many joyous offspring running all about.

John Colgrove noted that chemistry majors attending Reunions this year were all in “the same, relatively pedestrian boat”: married, with children, though their careers diverged widely (how very Reed!). The group included Colgrove and his old roommate Gier, Kevan Shokat, Whiting, and Kurt Myers. Colgrove’s thumbs-up list from the gathering included the hordes of kids playing with a giant inflated soccer ball (“for all I know, it’s still wandering the campus,” he said). Any minuses? “The joy of bad karaoke will live forever.”

The Cardio Myth

  1. Begin

    See All Slides
    Confession time: For most of my life, I thought of exercise merely as a way to punish my body for being gross, warp it into thinness, and burn, burn, burn every calorie I'd ever eaten. When I was being "good," that meant hours on the elliptical (or whatever machine was on-trend and not that hard), combined with obsessive step counting. Even when I was in a yoga phase, I'd find myself whipping faster and faster through vinyasas, looking like a hamster on a wheel. Because, you know, strength and flexibility are nice and all, but cardio — that's what really matters, right?

    My relationship with fitness has evolved tremendously in the past two years. It's taken constant effort to retrain my brain to recognize exercise as a means of achieving physical and mental health, and while it's not always easy (what with the rest of the world still shrieking about thigh gaps), this attitude has helped me maintain a consistent level of exercise for the first time in my life. So, take that, thigh gaps.

    But old habits die hard, especially when they're mental habits. And recently, I realized that I had one old habit still haunting me through every workout: cardio mania.

    Even those of us who only have a "magazine level" of education in fitness know that you're supposed to have a balanced exercise routine that includes cardio, strength training, and stretching. But most of us — especially women — still operate under the idea that reeeeaaallly we just need some good, sweaty cardio. Certainly, I thought this. And even when my fitness goals shifted from weight loss to overall health, I still treated cardio like the meat of the meal. Everything else was gravy; I could do without it. Without cardio, I might as well not eat at all.

    It wasn't until I started consistently trying other forms of exercise in addition to my gym time that I realized how much my body had been missing. Only when I developed a truly balanced routine did everything get better: My posture changed, my body composition felt different, and I was flying up the four flights to my apartment with ease. Before, I thought if I just worked my heart muscle enough, that would make the stairs easier. But no — it turned out I had to develop my thighs, calves, and glute muscles, too. Forgive me, but: duh.

    Once the cardio spell broke for me, I finally began to hear what fitness professionals had been saying for years: We are all hyper-focused on cardio, and it's doing us no good. I sat down with Cadence Dubus, owner of fitness studio Brooklyn Strength, who is constantly trying to combat the cardio fixation in her own clients and get them to that "duh" moment. How did cardio become such a dominant trend? Why are we so hooked on it? What are we getting wrong here, and how can we get it right? Here are some myths, facts, and surprising truths we all need to learn about cardio.
