President Biden picks winners and losers in our free-market economy – again

This week, on the heels of expanding the invasive and costly jurisdiction of WOTUS, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled crushing, new regulations on American vehicle manufacturers.

On day at a time….

This past week has personally been one of the most difficult ones in my life. I “lost” a dear, dear friend. We said our goodbye – for the time being, but I wasn’t ready to let Elaine Zahn leave. My heart is still too wounded to write about her. Another time. . .

What women athletes can do to reduce their injury risk

No athlete is immune to injuries. Fans of professional sports are well aware of that notion, as many a team’s season has been adversely affected by injury to one or more players. In fact, a comprehensive and longitudinal study of injury trends in Major League Baseball published in the American Journal of Orthopedics in 2016 found that players lost an average of 25,186 days to injury each year between 1998 and 2015. If injuries are that common in the professional sports arena, where players have daily access to experienced and highly trained medical staff, it’s fair to conclude that amateur athletes are equally if not more vulnerable to injury.
