Running Technique, Posture and Pain
Column by Jessica Kisiel
There are no sports beyond our body’s capability! When we have pain playing a sport though, it is easy to blame the activity for our pain.
Running, the primary functional movement our body was designed for, has a reputation for being hard on or even bad for the body.
It is often the first sport we are advised not to do if we have any lower extremity pain. If running were the problem then everyone who runs should hurt as a result of participating, right?
The fact is, some people suffer while others are pain free. Why?
The difference lies in the physical body that is brought Read More

‘The Descendants’ Screens Sept. 6 at Mesa Public Library
Image Source: https:////en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Descendants
Review by Kelly Dolejsi
“The Descendants,” screening Thursday at Mesa Public Library, is the kind of film that smart people wish would win awards.
It’s not sensationalistic or gratuitous. It’s not one easy laugh after another, one car chase after another, one famous person after another saying dumb, obvious things with their multi-million-dollar voices.
And in fact, the film did win an Oscar for Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay, and was nominated for four others: Best Achievement in Directing Read More

Win-Win, Win-Lose, Which One Would You Choose?
Column by Elena Yang
In today’s space, I’d like to go a bit deeper on competition, a sub-heading from the previous summary of The Knowing-Doing Gap.
This is a concept most Americans embrace without question; it is so taken for granted in this society that most may even consider it as part of human nature.
But there are many other cultures that emphasize cooperation much more (and therefore feel cooperation is natural), enough so that the notion that competition is part of human nature is suspect.
Perhaps a more pertinent framework is to understand when and where to promote competition. Read More
