How nice would it be to have one of these on one of those 95-degree, 100% humidity days at the WFFC?

The device, CoreControl, is a coffee pot-size chamber with a cold metal cone in the center. The user grips the cone and holds it for three to five minutes. Afterward, users report feeling not cooler, but fresher and ready to work jump again.
Unlike more common cooling strategies like cold towels, cooling vests or gel packs, CoreControl focuses special radiatorlike blood vessels in the palm of the hand to take the heated blood that is normally pumped throughout the body during and after exertion and send cooler blood back to the body core instead.
A vacuum in the CoreControl chamber enlarges the vessels to help prevent vasoconstriction, the same phenomenon that causes fitness enthusiasts to keep sweating after a cool shower.


My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?
