    Wimbledon 2012 Final - Federer vs. Murray

    Roger is undoubtedly the overwhelming favorite, especially after beating Djo in such dominant fashion, but it would also be nice to see Murray win one on home court.

    Recommend me a book--on string theory/modern physics/cosmology in general

    Recently, I've been watching a lot of snippets and video clips featuring the likes of Dr. Michio Kaku, Lawrence Krauss, etc. Incredibly fascinating stuff--I'm looking for a book (or many) related to the topics (string theory, modern quantum physics, and so on), but I'm not sure where to start...

    My legs feel much more flexible/explosive after a race...

    I run primarily 5Ks and the occasional 100M dash for fun, and it happens no matter which distance I run--comparatively, during the warm-up, I feel stiffer and not quite as explosive. I've always wondered--is this normal? Of course, over the course of a race, your body will heat up and get used...

    How do I improve poor circulation in feet?

    When I go out on distance runs, the one thing that kills me (particularly during warm-ups) is the poor circulation I have in my feet. When I warm up, my feet tend to swell (presumably with blood or other fluid), numb, and ache. I often find myself having to stop every mile or so during the...

    So, I was running in an open 400m dash, got out to about 50m, and felt a pop somewhere behind my right knee. My leg immediately caved in underneath me and I bit it pretty hard. After patching up some bad scratches, I saw the doctor, who told me that I had pulled my hamstring and that I won't be...
