World Baked Bike Ride June 10


In cities around the world Saturday, cyclists risked saddle rash – and possible arrest – to take a spin in the buff in order to protest the world's dependence on oil, RAW STORY has found.

"It is time to stop indecent exposure to automobile emissions and to celebrate the power and individuality of our bodies," says the Website for World Naked Bike Ride, the loosely knit organization that promotes the annual event.

Hundreds turned out in Madrid, Barcelona and Pamplona for what Spain calls the Ciclonudista or 'Nudecycle.' "We feel naked when up against traffic because people don't see the bicycle as just another means of transport," one participating cyclist told Reuters.

Organizers expected 500 cyclists in London and Brighton, up from 250 in last year’s event, according to ITN.

"The ride is fun, but has a serious side as well," one rider told the BBC. "By going naked, we show our vulnerability as cyclists in the traffic."

In the United States, 100 cyclists were expected in Burlington, Vt. The nudity, a participating cyclist told WCAX, "is a real symbol against commercialism."

It also provides amusement, said Michael Nedell, a Burlington organizer. "When you get a lot of naked people on bikes, people tend to smile at you," he told the Hartford Courant.

Nudity is legal in Burlington, but in many other places participants knew they were risking trouble with the law. "We don't expect everyone to be OK with this," an Illinois resident told the Chicago Tribune publication RedEye, according to UPI. "We're just trying to have a good time and raise awareness."

"The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) group was created by Daniel and Conrad to help coordinate a large international naked bike ride between many different activist groups across the World," according to the WNBR Website. "The World's first international naked bike ride in 2004 was a collaboration between the WNBR group which rode on June 12th and Manifestación Ciclonudista in Spain which rode on June 19th."

But according to Britain's Press Association, the nude bicyclists failed to distract anyone since it took place during a World Cup Match.

"As millions dropped everything to cheer England on to victory in its World Cup game, behind their backs naked cyclists, international rugby and a bizarre milk souring stunt passed them by," reported the Press Association.

Frequent ejaculation is good for your health!

From Bloomberg.com, good news...masturbate your way to better health..."April 6 (Bloomberg) -- Frequent sexual activity may reduce a man's risk of prostate cancer, according to research in the April 7 Journal of the American Medical Association.

The cancer risk in men reporting more than 20 monthly ejaculations was 33 percent less than in other men, the Harvard University study showed. Earlier studies tied a high sex drive and prostate cancer to elevated testosterone, so some scientists had proposed a link between sexual activity and the disease.

More research may help determine how sex might be protecting some men from prostate cancer, the investigators said. The results shouldn't be used to encourage men to intensify sexual activity, they said.

``Men worry that by being very active, they may put themselves at increased risk,'' said Michael F. Leitzmann, the lead researcher now at the National Cancer Institute. ``Looking at the data in a little bit more detail, our findings suggest that ejaculation may even be associated with a slight decrease in prostate cancer risk.''

The scientists defined sexual activity as ejaculation from intercourse, masturbation or during dreams. The men surveyed reported the average number of ejaculations they had a month from 20 to 29 years old, 40 to 49 years, and in the past year.

Almost 30,000 health professionals, 1,449 of whom developed prostate cancer, were surveyed. Researchers found that an active sex life wasn't linked to a higher cancer risk in most men.

How It May Work

There are several ways in which frequent ejaculations may protect against prostate cancer, the researchers said. The activity may flush out a buildup of toxins in the prostate, lessen development of tiny crystals linked to some cancers, and improve the immune system's response to cancer, Leitzmann said.

Ejaculation also may release psychological tension, quieting central nervous system activity that may contribute to prostate- cell division and cancer growth, the researchers said.

The scientists downplayed results showing frequent ejaculation appeared to reduce cancer risk because only 7 percent of men fell into the group reporting the most activity and just 59 of them developed prostate cancer, Leitzmann said in a telephone interview.

Almost all the previous research showed sexual activity increased cancer risk, he said. Those studies may have been biased because researchers asked patients to recall activities that occurred years earlier, before they were diagnosed with cancer and received treatment, which may interfere with sexual activity, he said.

``What we can say is that this hormonal hypothesis needs to be re-evaluated,'' said Leitzmann, who led the study when he was a post-doctoral student at Harvard. ``It would be good for future research to focus on different biological mechanisms.''

Keeping the Internet Free

From the New York Times, May 2, 2006 - "Net neutrality" is a concept that is still unfamiliar to most Americans, but it keeps the Internet democratic. Cable and telephone companies that provide Internet service are talking about creating a two-tiered Internet, in which Web sites that pay them large fees would get priority over everything else. Opponents of these plans are supporting Net-neutrality legislation, which would require all Web sites to be treated equally. Net neutrality recently suffered a setback in the House, but there is growing hope that the Senate will take up the cause.

One of the Internet's great strengths is that a single blogger or a small political group can inexpensively create a Web page that is just as accessible to the world as Microsoft's home page. But this democratic Internet would be in danger if the companies that deliver Internet service changed the rules so that Web sites that pay them money would be easily accessible, while little-guy sites would be harder to access, and slower to navigate. Providers could also block access to sites they do not like.

That would be a financial windfall for Internet service providers, but a disaster for users, who could find their Web browsing influenced by whichever sites paid their service provider the most money. There is a growing movement of Internet users who are pushing for legislation to make this kind of discrimination impossible. It has attracted supporters ranging from MoveOn.org to the Gun Owners of America. Grass-roots political groups like these are rightly concerned that their online speech could be curtailed if Internet service providers were allowed to pick and choose among Web sites.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee defeated a good Net-neutrality amendment last week. But the amendment got more votes than many people expected, suggesting that support for Net neutrality is beginning to take hold in Congress. In the Senate, Olympia Snowe, a Maine Republican, and Byron Dorgan, a North Dakota Democrat, are drafting a strong Net-neutrality bill that would prohibit broadband providers from creating a two-tiered Internet. Senators who care about the Internet and Internet users should get behind it.
