New Bicycle Seat More Healthy, Eliminates Sexual Dysfunction A traditional bicycle seat is more likely to cause male sexual dysfunction and a variety of other health problems than a new seat with a revolutionary design, according to Medicine & Science In Sports & Exercise, the official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. Results of the 2004 study concluded that the typical sport/racing saddle with a narrow protruding nose causes twice the pressure in the perineal region as the Solution Bicycle Seat, a unique new model without the nose. Previous studies linked perineal pressure to difficulties resulting from bicycling, including numbness, urinary track and yeast infections, prostate inflammation and impotence. That is because sitting on a typical bike saddle for long periods of time compresses the artery that provides blood flow to the area, according to Dr. Irwin Goldstein, a prominent urologist from Boston University. ... read full story / add a comment

The Socialist Workers Party in Ireland (following the line from London) has finally declared its position regarding the armed resistance in Iraq. It is fully in support of such resistance - a position that all anti-imperialists should agree with. It is remarkable, however, that the position seems to be one of unconditional support including for those who are clearly related by Islamic fundamentalism. See the extrct below which is published on the SWP's Irish website. Question: how will this affect the political line of the IAWM? Presumably the SWP anti-war front will be expected to tow the line? ... read full story / add a comment

The blast caused extensive damage to the Muslim school . A bomb explosion has hit an Islamic school in the Netherlands, as tensions run high after the murder of controversial film-maker Theo van Gogh. Monday's blast in the southern city of Eindhoven caused heavy damage, destroying doors and windows. Police say it could be a revenge attack for the killing of Van Gogh by a suspected Islamic radical last week. Mosques in several Dutch cities have been the targets of vandalism and failed arson attempts in recent days. ... read full story / add a comment

By 8:00 PM on Election Day, I was convinced that I was watching the slickest damn con job ever put over on the American people. The TV coverage was pitiful. By now its becoming increasingly clear that Bush stole another election. Once the results in western states could be predicted the vote tally in Florida could be juggled in favor of Bush. Once the outcome in the west was known the vote tally in Ohio could be juggled similarly. ... read full story / add a comment

The Labour Party and the Green Party have expressed regret and disappointment at the re-election of President Bush. However Sinn Féin MEP Ms Bairbre de Brún declined to specifically support the unhappiness expressed by the other parties at Mr Bush's re-election. She said that both Republicans and Democrats in the US had worked strongly in furthering the Irish peace process and that Sinn Féin was critical of US foreign policy not its leader. ... read full story / add a comment |
