Copyright (c) 2008 Robert Keefer Young people have really taken to MySpace, Facebook and YouTube. They love to post pictures, movies and articles. So far, so good. The problem is that much of their posted material is there for the whole world to see, probably forever. I saw a custody case where one parent had real concerns about the non-custodial parent. One side had a very important witness who posted on Facebook. According to his own Facebook account this important witness was an irresponsible, somewhat lewd lawbreaker. The proponent of that witness was forced to drop him. I think this fellow's account was set up as a joke but he could not be used as a witness since the case[..]

If you're a fitness enthusiast, when you think about moving you are likely to want a fitness friendly neighbourhood. From living and working in Toronto, this is my list of the top three most exercise oriented neighbourhoods in the city. 1.The Beaches Located in Toronto East on Lake Ontario. This neighbourhood was made for more than just dog fanatics. There is a surprisingly low amount of fitness clubs, most likely due to the fact that the Beaches community tries (and succeeds) to keep big business out of the once bohemian and now family (and young professional) neighbourhood. The best part about this area is hands down, the boardwalk/bike path which runs in to Ashbridges Bay. Along the[..]

It seems I have seen a lot of IT band problems in the office lately, and come July and August is when I typically begin to see a lot of plantar fasciitis. I think the reason is that marathon training programs begin for most people around June. For many this results in an increase in mileage that is beyond their initial physical capability. The increased training volume, regardless of your physical shape typically results in some tightness in the muscles, and more commonly on the outside of the leg at the knee or near the hip, which is the IT band musculature and fascia. There are many reasons why this area tightens up, but this article will deal only with increase in training volume as[..]

Have you ever experienced knee pain while running along the road? Knee pain can often be the precursor to an oncoming injury, and you should always pay attention and see your sports physician if you are at all worried about it. There are some less serious reasons for you to have an achy knee, though, with a relatively simple solution.

The reason for that is because most roads have a camber to them that helps water drain off of them rather[..]
