Born to run: Barefoot? Minimalist training trend gaining popularity
In the running culture, it’s always about the shoe.

Runners focus (read: obsess) on the next shoe coming out, the revolutionary padding technology, the construction to keep an ankle from rolling, how this-or-that innovation will keep you from turning your feet in or out when you run.
Grown men and women still ask of our running shoes what we asked of them when we were 6 years old: Will they make me faster?
No, the shoes won’t do that.

University of Minnesota researchers say they have found a potential new treatment for HIV, using a mixture of two anti-cancer drugs that are already on the market.
In lab experiments, the two drugs – gemcitabine and decitabine – were able to stop the AIDS virus by causing it to “mutate itself to death,” the researchers said.
The discovery, announced by the university Monday, has not been tried in people yet. But the researchers say the study is encouraging because it’s a new way of attacking the virus and because the drugs are not experimental – they’ve already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating other diseases.

If you’ve picked a new career, almost any work environment has its own workspace language. Recently, I started working as an instructional designer (ID) for an e-learning company, considering my prior ID experience in ILTs (instructor-led trainings), getting acclimatized to the ‘jargon’ took some time.
