Straighten Then Strengthen Your Body
Lifting weights is a great way to increase strength. Unfortunately, it can also engrain postural disparities and movement compensations.

Welcome to the first of an anticipated series of weekly columns about television and associated media.
The title is taken from one of the iconic music albums from the 1980’s, “Songs from the Big Chair” by Tears for Fears (1985) and it, of course, refers directly to my lounge chair in our (that’s Linda, my lovely bride, and me) living room here in White Rock (N.M.)

Letter to the Editor: LACDC Should Hire Locally
Erik Swensen
ES Development Group
As you may already be aware, Mr. Kevin Holsapple of the Los Alamos Commerce Development Corporation (LACDC) is stepping down as the executive director.
His departure gives the LACDC board an opportunity to evaluate the needs of our community during these difficult economic times and gives Los Alamos the best opportunity to grow in a manner that reduces our dependence on LANL.
I am a 20-year resident of Los Alamos and recently started my own business after being caught in the aftermath of the CMRR project cancellation.
During my tenure, I’ve observed that both Read More
