The number of calories burned by exercise can depend on your weight. If a 300-pound person goes for a 30-minute jog, they burn more calories than the same jog done by a 150-pound person, because they're carrying around twice as much weight, thus taking more energy to move that extra mass.

That would be great if Michonne had any idea that Andrea knew any of these people. As far as Andrea knew, all of the people she'd been traveling with had died when walkers overran the farm. And as far as everybody at the prison knew, Andrea had died there, so they wouldn't have had any reason to mention her name to…

Here's the chart by population over time (through early 2013): http://imgur.com/9Dh1O The axes are percentage of the population of the US living in states with each of the various conditions at each point in time. The conditions are constitutional ban on marriage and all similar relationships (dark gray), constitutional…

From both the first and last episodes of the first season, getting bitten or scratches gives you an infection which quickly leads to fever and death. The infection which causes the fever and death is apparently not the same infection as the one which reanimates you, but having the former brings about the latter much more…

Here's where things stand: * Windsor v. US - A widow in New York is challenging DOMA in that she had to pay about $360,000 in estate tax when her wife died, but if her spouse had been male then she would not have had to pay that tax. She won in the federal district court on June 6, 2012. The US (represented by the House of…

Even when I know I'm eating more than I should for the day, I always keep track of exactly how much I'm getting. That way I can adjust the following day or two to even it out. One day recently I went over my goal by about 800 calories, but averaging out over a few days I was right on target. Or if I know ahead of time that…

The only way for the Supreme Court to decide that laws which discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or identity should be subjected to heightened scrutiny is if they find that such a law would otherwise be valid under rational review. Courts are accustomed to making the narrowest ruling they can, which means that…

I have a galley copy of Andrew J. Robinson's Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel "A Stitch in Time". There are even some notes from the editor in the margins.

Interesting site! I've been tracking several variables on my bidaily treadmill walks (date, duration, total distance walked, average and maximum speed, average and maximum pulse, and calories burned) because I'm a numbers guy. I have no idea what they will all mean, but I've made several interesting graphs. I've just been…

He'll be in trouble when his screen goes out and he buys a new Panasonic monitor.

I also think B. For example, he did nothing about DADT, and kept saying the time wasn't right to change policy in the military, until after Log Cabin Republicans' federal lawsuit resulted in it being declared unconstitutional. His Justice Department opposed LCR's lawsuit vigorously, saying that DADT was constitutional. I…

I'm glad he's finally where Richard* Cheney was eight years ago! * - I can't put in his preferred first name because it gets censored.

He He He.

Based on the title, I'd guess it is about issues that come up with cross-national same-sex couples and immigration. Am I right? What did you think of the show?

Lots of Star Trek actors: Vaughn Armstrong (Forrest), Casey Biggs (Damar), Roxann Biggs-Dawson (Torres), Aron Eisenberg (Nog), Max Grodénchik (Rom), J.G. Hertzler (Martok), Chase Masterson (Leeta), Robert Duncan McNeill (Paris), Robert O'Reilly (Gowron), Ethan Phillips (Neelix), Robert Picardo (EMH), Andrew J. Robinson…

I'm wary of any "study" of a small number of people to determine causes because it's really all just guesswork. The "maternal hormones" theory sounds to me just as silly as the "overbearing mother and distant father" theory. Anecdotally: I'm the oldest of three boys, and my partner is the oldest of four siblings (the other…

One of the heroes of 9/11, Mark Bingham on United 93, was a big, tough rugby player in college, president of his fraternity, and went on to play in the San Francisco Fog rugby team. He had a scar from being gored at the running of the bulls in Spain.
