...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 away the function...
...movies to directing The Passion of the Christ, the all-time top R-rated and foreign-language film, became more notorious recently for being an off-screen road warrior. His 2006 drunk-driving conviction, and the slurs he made about Jews to the arresting officer, dented his rep and put a big question mark next to his chances for returning to the superstar class. Edge of Darkness, based on a 1985 Brit TV drama about a cop searching for his daughter's killers, bears a resemblance to last year's Liam Neeson hit Taken. But it's also the umpteenth...
Indeed, such is the local excitement that Peru's San Martin department, where Tocache is located, wants to put itself on the map as the chocolate capital of the world.

When in Rome invents a corollary legend: that if you remove a coin from the fountain, the person who put it there will instantly and passionately fall in love with you. Beth takes five, and in short order has a quintet of love slaves: a magician (Jon Heder), an artist (Will Arnett), a male model (Dax Shepard), a sausage entrepreneur (Danny De Vito)... and Nick. Somehow the first four follow Beth...
...first act of Warner's drama began sensationally. But it is his second act, often underappreciated, that will put him in the Hall of Fame. After his career stalled with the Rams, his success was explained away: his receivers were so talented and the Rams offense choreographed so beautifully by the coaches that you or I could have put up the same big numbers. Warner would catch on with the Arizona Cardinals, a joke of a franchise, only to lose his job to another heralded rookie, Matt Leinart. But party-boy Leinart wasn't ready to rescue the team...
