A Florida Scientist claims to have found the secret of short, intense workouts.

In the last few years, the benefits of short, intense workouts have been extolled by both researchers and exercise fans as something of a metabolic panacea capable of providing greater overall fitness, better blood sugar control and weight reduction-all of it in periods as short as seven minutes a few times a week.

Now, in a new study, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) confirm that there is something molecularly unique about intense exercise: the activation of a single protein.

I thought this was obvious but I'll say it for the record. If this or most any site is to succeed, the vast majority of readers will be anonymous lurkers. They won't be futzing with settings or themes, even if some settings were available to people without logins.

The defaults matter, a LOT. They are all that most people will EVER see of your site. This is a huge problem for Soylent by the way -- their default presentation is still bloody awful -- but much less so here. Other than the icon/photo thing, Pipedot's defaults have all been very smartly chosen.
