A Roe Adventure by Yeager
Over
the past month the shift in energy has been renewing. The summer months
bring a crazy, busy, tourist energy that is palpable and at times a bit
difficult to bare. This ends up permeating most of the Central Coast
communities and at times we locals feel a bit overwhelmed. We sometimes
get caught up in it and become anxious and cranky ourselves. Read More

the Doc by Robert Swain
Today
we will discuss nutrition for children ages 2-12. Childhood obesity
rose drastically in the 80's and 90's - doubling and tripling
in some age groups. 16.9% of U.S. children and adolescents were
considered to be obese, with prevalence higher in teens than
preschoolers and higher in males than females in 2010. Read More

Anthropologist Brian Hare of Duke University has been on the forefront
of demonstrating a newer more specific refinement of our popular
layman's beliefs about how Team Man-and-Dog actually performed their

Professional
Law Enforcement Officers have been taking a lot of flak lately. The
media and public criticize them when they are too proactive or when
they are not active enough. Often these critiques arise from the
emotional perceptions of a crowd mentality that are inflamed by the
self-interest of so-called
leaders — leaders who sometimes have their
own agenda not based on fact. Read More
Double
Vision by Shana Ogren
My
two year old son is lately always saying “I put you in a
cage!,” and then he eats the invisible key that he locks me
in it with. I, of course, highly over-think this fiasco he is running.
What does it mean, about his character, or about his desires? Why is he
interested in having such power? (This is where you, the reader, tell
me - quite simply, Shana, he doesn't have power over his ANYTHING right
now, because he is two. That's why he is so interested in
power.) Read

Feel
Better Forever by Brian Dorfman
In
analyzing this component of gait we first look for swaying, arching or
compression in the lower back. You know that if someone arches their
back a lot when they walk and there’s already compression,
then there’s going to be increased pressure. This lordotic
type of gait will also exacerbate any existing disk impingement in the
lower back. Read More
The
Human Condition by John Bullaro
I
had Chrystal on my mind for days. She was asleep next to me when I lay
down and was by my side when I drifted into another world of imagined
space travel. In my imagined world Chrystal was illusive. My gut told
me she must be made my mate. It became imperative I search for this
marvelous woman. I returned to the beach area where she saved me from
the surf after my auto went off a cliff into the ocean. Read More
Whooo
Knew? by Peg Pinard
As
another election cycle approaches, we begin to hear the rumbling of
frustrations about 'government'—sometimes followed by "What's
the use? Nothing's going to change." And, while the national scene can
be daunting, the local elections are the areas where an informed public
can make a huge difference. At the local level we still have the
ability to influence the kind of government we want. Read More
