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.

Good point. I'm pretty happy with the defaults too. I just noticed too some new functionality in the site - if you're on a small screen, all the sidebar stuff floats to the bottom and the icons for major sections get smaller and more useable. That makes Pipedot the single most readable site on my phone and tablet now. Soylent is unfortunately close to unreadable on a small screen although it has improved, and Slashdot is readable but I really dislike the user interface that comes up if you visit it on a small screen. Pipedot keeps 100% of its original functionality and just reorganizes page elements to fit the smaller screen - I'm thrilled.
