Because the human foot has relatively little padding on the heel, barefoot runners tread more lightly, landing on the outer part of the midfoot and then rolling inward. Cushiony running shoes, by contrast, encourage a stiff heel-to-toe stride that could lead to injury. In the December issue of a journal put out by the American Academy of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, researchers concluded that running in shoes exerts more stress on the knee, hip and ankle than does running barefoot or walking in high heels. "We evolved to run barefoot, and when we put shoes on, we're taking...
...terrorists busy there and all around the world. We invade countries to spread our form of government, then we fail to comprehend their ancient tribal systems, their religious systems and their views about marriage and family structure. The rise of terrorist activity over the past decade should at last lead us to look more carefully at ourselves, not the people chewing khat in Yemen...
...with a local research center in San Martin, the Institute for Tropical Crops (ITC), to identify new varieties of cacao beans. The institute is studying 342 specimens collected from 12 watersheds. "We are working on categorizing the DNA of cacao," says ITC director Enrique Arevalo. The work will eventually lead to the creation of a Peru-specific chocolate that could be marketed the way countries sell wine. Hiderico Bocangel, general manager of San Martin's Oro Verde cooperative, says Peru is already creating a niche in the chocolate world.

...From there the movie begins a backwards loop to explain how John, who claims to have been lucky once, came to this unlucky point, a problematic storytelling tactic if you've cast Buscemi in the lead. We completely expect him to be a semi-hysterical mess standing under the unflattering glow of fluorescent lights. He was perfectly cast as Templeton the rat in Charlotte's Web and as Tony Soprano's shiftless, foolish cousin in The Sopranos. Not to mention Carl Showalter, aka, the wood-chipper victim, in Fargo. But a fondness for the actor keeps us attentive to writer/director...
...movies, she was Jason Bateman's wife in Couples Retreat and the Sarah Marshall whom Jason Segel had to forget. Bell emits a wholesomeness that is slightly starched; she's not a dream girl, exactly, more a kid's favorite aunt. Duhamel, 37, who's been the second male lead in the Transformers movies and starred in Las Vegas for five years, has the reassuring presence of a cuter Tom Hanks, a Greg Kinnear with fewer creases. He and Bell share a domestic glow best suited to TV; their middle-wattage radiance can fill a living room but not quite...
