SCIENCE: Science May Soon Give Us Pills That Make Us Exercise. “Swiss researchers have discovered that elevating the amount of erythropoietin, a hormone more commonly known as epo, in the brains of mice led them to be more active. What’s more, it did so without causing the erythropoiesis, or elevated red blood cell counts, that typically occurs when epo is used to boost performance. . . . The discovery raises the possibility of creating a drug that would help people achieve healthier lifestyles and chip away at an epidemic of obesity caused in part by the fact we get half as much exercise as we should. Beyond that, any drugs derived from the research could be used to treat mental illnesses where physical activity is known to improve mood and behavior.”

THE SUDDENLY-LESS-DEFERENTIAL PRESS: Daily Caller’s Neil Munro interrupts President Obama; ‘is this right thing to do for American workers?’ I like this: “POTUS interruptus.” We are all Sam Donaldson now!

UPDATE: Video: Obama Angry At Being Questioned.

ANOTHER UPDATE: “Amnesty” Is A Spanish Word That Means “Desperate.”

MORE: “Actually, Mr. President, you did ask for an argument.”

And reader Jeff Johnson writes: “So Obama is pushing for Amnesty at that same time that Eric Holder is trying to stop Florida from purging its voter rolls of non-citizens. Coincidence? I think not!”

MORE STILL: Tucker Carlson: “I don’t remember Diane Sawyer scolding her colleague Sam Donaldson for heckling President Reagan. And she shouldn’t have. A reporter’s job is to ask questions and get answers. Our job is to find out what the federal government is up to. Politicians often don’t want to tell us. A good reporter gets the story. We’re proud of Neil Munro.”

You should be. He’s not a lapdog. And it’s rather late for the White House to try to stand on Presidential dignity.

Plus, Prof. Jacobson points out that it really is news when Obama gets a tough question from the press.

POPULAR MECHANICS: Tapping The Riches Of Space. “We’re not going to be able to reach beyond the International Space Station and sustain human explorers on the moon or Mars unless we start “living off the land” in space. If we can’t shoulder the risk of developing off-planet energy, water, and structural materials, high costs will forever chain us to Earth. The risks of tapping space resources are real, but the payoff is huge—nothing less than an economic boom between Earth and moon, and the means to put robot and astronaut explorers to work unraveling the mysteries of our solar system.”

Faster, please.

HOUSE TO EXAMINE FUTURE OF VIDEO:

Subcommittee Chairman Greg Walden (R-Ore.), who announced the hearing on Thursday, said the panel “will examine how advances in consumer electronics, broadcasting, cable, satellite, the Internet and other platforms are changing how consumers access video content, how those changes are impacted by existing regulations, and what type of regimes should apply going forward.”

The hearing is scheduled for June 27.

Lawmakers and regulators have begun to question whether cable companies are trying to stifle competition from online video. The Justice Department has launched an antitrust investigation of cable companies including Comcast and Time Warner, according to media reports.

Cable companies provide both television and broadband Internet service for many customers. The question is whether the cable companies have illegally used their control over Internet access to prevent people from dumping their television service in favor of online video providers, such as Netflix and Hulu.

Personally, I favor people dumping cable.
