This news piece was written in October 2017. Perhaps no other professional athlete enjoys retirement quite as much as Michael Jordan.

A key part to the hall of famer’s post-basketball life is smoking cigars. A lot of them....

We’ve all been through the cold, dark days of winter and noticed that we’ve started to fatten up a bit. Most of us attribute that winter weight gain to the frequent holiday feasts—or the bitter cold that keeps a lot of people bundled up indoors, perched squarely in front of the TV. But winter weight gain might have another culprit: lack of sun. That’s because the sun’s blue light can shrink fat cells near the skin’s surface, according to a new study from Canada’s University of Alberta....

The clothing industry in general has, over the years, tended to kinda suck when it comes to its environmental footprint and other societal issues. Obviously working conditions are a biggie, particularly overseas. Thankfully that perception is starting to change in some respects, as brands try to catch up (and cash in) on the whole sustainability thing. There have always been companies that put the environment ahead of a buck — Patagonia comes to mind — and here are some younger brands that are helping to make the world a little bit better, while making you look good at the same time....

Photos and Words by Chuck Graham I was kayaking between Point Arguello and Point Conception on the Central California Coast. The surf heaved across the ragged shoreline, and the northwest winds sent tumbleweeds bounding down the beach. Wave-battered and patrolled by great white sharks, this rugged and unforgiving coastline is also prime habitat for the southern sea otters concentrated between Monterey and Santa Barbara County. Our kayaking trip began at the Guadalupe-Nipomo Sand Dunes National Wildlife Refuge in Northern Santa Barbara County....

Exercising is different from training. Going to the gym or going for a run is great; you’ll definitely get in better shape by doing those things, but without a definitive result in mind, you’re not really training. To reach your fitness goals, you’ll need to start a training plan, maximize movement efficiency, and make your life more conducive to overcoming any obstacles that may get in the way of achieving results....
Everybody that goes out running for exercise is not going to stop now that the fall is here. If anything, this season is a little nicer for going out on a run. In the summer it can be really overbearing and make going out for a job a little bit of a dicey proposition. Nobody want’s to get overheated and end up sick.
