Sara Austin

Burlington, VT Named #1 On SELF Magazine’s 10th Annual Survey America’s Healthiest Places for Women

New York, NY – October 20, 2009 – SELF, the national womens well-being magazine with a readership of 6.1 million, announces Burlington, Vermont as the nations healthiest city in its 10th annual Healthiest Places for Women survey (November 2009 issue). Analyzing 100 U.S. metropolitan areas, this examination is the most comprehensive of its kind. Using a broad scope of research criteria, SELF evaluated more than 8,000 bits of data to determine each citys level of healthy living.

SELF polled a panel of experts to find out which factors most affect a womans ability to live her healthiest. Then compiled a list of 50 criteria, including rates of diseases such as cancer and depression; health care factors such as: the number of doctors per capita and the percentage of population with health insurance; environmental and community measures such as: air quality, crime rates and unemployment statistics; and habits such as exercise, diet and smoking.

SELF Magazines Healthiest Places for Women began 10 years ago to inspire women to get more active in their communities. We believe that little tweaks in your normal routine can make a big difference, says Sara Austin, news features director. Regardless of where your city ranks on the list, SELF and Self.coms experts can provide simple tools to assist you with fitness, health, nutrition and your overall sense of wellbeing.

Burlington beat out the 2008 winner, Bethesda, MD—now holding 2nd place—because of the citys low rates of diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, smoking, cervical and ovarian cancer deaths. Residents maintain a fit lifestyle by walking to work and frequently exercising. The city also offers 40% more ob/gyns than the lists average. Additionally, there are six times as many food co-ops in Burlington, with farmers markets now taking food stamps to increase the opportunity to eat right.

Each year, SELF adds new criteria to the study to address climatic and behavioral changes. In 2009, quality of sleep is a new category. Women often underestimate how much skipping out on sleep can damage our health, Austin states. In the worst sleeping area, Charleston, WV, the average woman has insomnia three or four nights per week. A unique sidebar on each page gives get-fit tips from a woman living in an unhealthy city, emphasizing SELFs message that women can be healthy anywhere.

Top five Best Places for Women (2009):
1. Burlington, VT
2. Bethesda, MD

5. San Francisco, CA

Unhealthiest Places for Women (2009):

2. Detroit, MI

The Soul Paradox – A Thought Experiment

Ever wonder what we are?
Where are our soul, consciousness and mind ? Can it transcend the mortality of the body?
Well, join the club :) . Here is a video that helps.. or not ;)

The thought experiment in this video
deals directly with the notion of a body-soul dualism. Rather than conclusions it presents a line of thinking. Reaching conclusions is, once again, up to you :)

Step 1: Watch the video.
Step 2: Answer the question posed in the end. You won’t be right or wrong – remember, its only a though experiment.
There is nothing actually testable. This isn’t science.

Now that you thought about it, Here is my take on it:

There are several possible ways to answer

1. The situation can never happen. For instance, any attempt to suspend the animation/freeze a human being would kill the subject. This, I think, is a cop out.
If you have issues with quantum effects of identifying and moving atoms, imagine that instead of atoms, we deal with slightly larger structures (like cells).
We grow/clone equivalent cells and copy the essential physical properties (like charges on the axons of the neurons, etc.) Basically, this experiment is impractical but it can be done in theory. Most importantly – its a THOUGHT experiment.

2. Humans have souls, so it must either remain in one body, or jump to the other one during molecular the 50/50 exchange. What if we did a full 100/0 exchange, transferred all the molecules to the new body – would it jump then? What if we did 60/40? At what point WOULD it move? The answers in this scenario are somewhat vague (at least from the posts so far). However, maybe there IS a good argument along these lines – share it!

3. The simplest scenario is that the question is meaningless. Much like “which one is the original ship”. The concept of “original” may no longer apply and neither is the original. Similarly, “Which Homer will you be” assumes there is a “you” outside of Homer, that Homer has an external, non-physical soul, that this still existing Homer has some “body” to “be” when the bodies are awaken. Without this assumption, however, the resolution is far simpler.
There will be two new people with identical memories but different futures. Both self aware. Both will be a “you”. Just like you are a “you” and I am a “you”. The you that existed in the past is as relevant as the you that lived yesterday. One of you will say: aha I am the guy on the right. The other one: I am the guy on the left. There is no ORIGINAL you – the adjective is meaningless. Think of “you” as a process or a function of the brain. A waterfall is a process. It may dry up or freeze over and vanish only to reappear again the next spring. Which one is the “original”? The molecules of water that “make it up” are different, but the waterfall still exists. It can also be split into two waterfalls that both inherit the properties of the original without “destroying” it.

Thus, both Homers are simply a You. You have distinct bodies, but both feel that they are “a you”. And if I am talking to the homer with a doughnut, than he is a this “you”. If I am talking to the one with the beer – than he is a that “you”. It’s a bit weird, but it is symmetric and fare. In my judgment, it is the best way to resolve this “paradox”.
