NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - There's new advice for older men who want to preserve their sexual function: have sex, and have it often, researchers say. In a study that followed nearly 1,000 older Finnish men for five years, researchers found that those who were regularly having sex at the start of the study were at lower risk of developing erectile dysfunction (Buy Viagra) by the study's end. In fact, the more often the men had sex, the lower their Buy Generic Viagra risk. The implication, say the researchers, is that men should be encouraged to stay sexually active into their golden years. Dr. Juha Koskimaki and colleagues at the University of Tampere in Finland report the findings in the American Journal of Medicine. The study included 989 men who were between the ages of 55 and 75 at the outset. Overall, those who said they had sex less than once per week were twice as likely to develop ED over the next five years as men who had sex at least once a week. Furthermore, compared with men who had sex three or more times per week, their Order Viagra risk was increased nearly four-fold. A number of factors contribute to ED development, many of which could also affect a man's sexually activity -- such as age, diabetes and heart disease. However, after taking account of those factors, sexual activity itself remained linked to Cheap Viagra risk, Koskimaki's team found. It may be a matter of "use it or lose it," according to the researchers. Just as exercise boosts physical fitness, they note, regular sexual activity may help a man preserve his erectile function. buy viagra online occurs when there are problems with blood flow to the penis. Regular sexual activity, Koskimaki's team writes, may help maintain healthy blood vessel function in the erectile tissue. SOURCE: American Journal of Medicine, July 2008.

XBox

If I hadn’t received a large Christmas cracker last night I wouldn’t have sent an email this morning, and if I hadn’t sent an email this morning I would have been writing about how the whole team went to the Star Cafe at lunchtime - the first time we had had time to go out as a team during the day since our Christmas party.

If I hadn’t sent that email I would have started this entry by pasting in this link to a story in the Washington Post. It seems the US has set up a ‘parallel government’. A complete copy of all the roles performed in the real government. About a hundred people filling key roles - or at least waiting to. They are hunkered down in two heavily fortified bunkers on the east coast of America waiting for the day Washington is destroyed by a terrorist weapon. When that happens, they swing into action. Until then, they sit and they wait and they keep quiet.

I might even have been including a link to a new game show from the people who make Big Brother. It’s called Big Diet and although it sounds like a rather obvious wind up, it’s not. It’s real, and it’s airing in the Netherlands.

But last night I received a Christmas cracker. Out of season. Black. Green trimmings. Sealed inside a wide white tube marked with a tick, like all mail arriving in ITN, to indicate it had been checked for explosives. Inside the cracker was a hat, and inside the hat was an invite to the launch of the Microsoft XBox at midnight in the Virgin Megastore on 13th March.

I replied this morning, saying I’d come along and the PR guy mailed back to say that my name was on the list and I should be receiving my XBox today. ‘Cool,’ I said. ‘How long can I hang on to it?’

‘Hang on to it?’ he replied. ‘Permanently.’

WOW!

An XBox and three games -
