...third major thing people can do, says Buckwalter, is exercise to maintain muscle strength, range of motion and flexibility, all of which protects the joints. "You need to look at taking care of a vulnerable joint the way you take care of your teeth," he says. Ideally, that means stretching and strengthening muscles on a daily basis. "When my patients say, 'I can't do that,'" he says, "I say, well, you brush your teeth every...
...nation's image as an oasis of calm in a turbulent corner of Africa. Perhaps no one was more shocked - or had more to lose - than members of Kenya's middle class, who seemed comfortably ensconced in Westernized modernity after more than 40 years of economic growth without major political trauma. They watched as ethnic clashes left more than 1,000 Kenyans dead and hundreds of thousands displaced, and as those decades of hard-earned economic progress threatened to unravel.

...That's not to say that most voters across the political spectrum don't care about the issues. Spokespersons for both major parties agree that the economy has become the election's central concern. After four years of unprecedented prosperity, Spain's economy, like so many others, has recently suffered, with growth slowing in the fourth quarter of 2007 to 3.3% (down from 4.3% in the fourth quarter of 2006) and unemployment rising to 8.6%. With 35.9% of Spaniards rating the economy "bad" or "very bad" (up from 25.4% the previous year), both parties are seeking to portray themselves...
