San Francisco closing streets for outdoor exercise

From KTVU:

SAN FRANCISCO -- Community groups rallied Tuesday in San Francisco in support of closing off city streets to traffic on Sunday mornings, in an effort to encourage residents to get out and exercise.
The city will close a four-and-a-half mile stretch of the Embarcadero and Third street from Chinatown to the Bayview district on August 31st and again on September 14th.
"Along the route we've planned a host of activities from swing dancing to yoga... to roller skating, street hockey, lacrosse and tai chi," said Susan King, coordinator of the initiative, which is called "Sunday Streets."
San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom, who first proposed the plan, wants to make the Sunday street closures a regular event, but merchants at Pier 39 oppose the plan, saying the road closures will hurt business.

Yoga Botox

After a slew of acquaintances -- who by request will all remain nameless -- chose Botox, I noticed this article about yogic Botox.
Amusing read :)
