Fighting Asthma Through the Cold and Flu Season
2009-10-20 01:38:00 There's a lot of asthma out there and much of it is very poorly controlled. And it doesn't have to be that way. At this time of year it's especially important to understand how to keep your asthma under control and avoid serious illness.

Fighting and fussing remains in fashion year-round in the NHL

To the contrary, there are nothing but clenched fists, bad blood and haymakers flying all around the place.Although it's still technically summer as Labor Day looms, nothing gets you more prepared for another NHL season than some reckless head-butting and unquenchable hatred.Some Canadian regions haven't been this close to firing on the U. S. since the war of 1812 when the British Empire was in charge and still smoking about that road loss to America in the Revolutionary War.Read the comment sections of fans about the NHL opposing a move to Hamilton, Ontario, and there are charges in Canada that the league is trying to keep hockey strictly in the...

Women in Mixed Martial Arts: Fighting for Equality Part I
2009-08-23 15:44:00 A conversation about the state of women in the sport of mixed martial arts should begin with a glance back at two combative sports with a long history: boxing and wrestling. Although women's boxing first appeared in the Olympic games as a demonstration in 1904, it really took the entire 20th Century for it to gain acceptance within the athletic community. Despite strong social stereotypes and traditional points of views on the role women should have within our society, female fighters have been given several venues to showcase their skills, but lacked a fan base. Although organizations like The Swedish Amateur Boxing Association and The National Wrestling Alliance provided opportunities to see women part-take in the combative sports, a...

On Fighting Pre-First-Class Anxiety
2009-01-12 17:29:00 One of my favorite writers (and my new best friend, if I can catch her) Sarah Vowell participated in an experiment in which a group of San Francisco goths gave regular civilians a goth makeover and sent them out into goth clubs to see if they would "pass." The prerequisite to the makeover was doing some homework--picking a goth name, listening to angry songs, writing dark poetry, etc. Vowell writes, Before anyone breaks out the eyeliner, we all sit in a circle and go through my homework. The whole thing reminds me of graduate school seminars, except these people are smart and funny and have something interesting to say. (Take the Cannoli, p. 214).Now that's the attitude I need on the first day of school. Also, a little bit of goth make-up wouldn't hurt either. You know, to look intimidating and all.

Fighting for Truth in Political Debate
2008-10-25 02:03:00 The failure of the mainstream media to engage in even the most basic fact checking exercise is one of the biggest barriers for change across a host of issues.It's an issue well known to any advocate of action on the climate crisis. A three second Google search is more than enough to prove false the most sophisticated misinformation, so it takes a perverse level of intellectual blindness to continue to print so called balanced stories that feature facts on one side and outright lies on the other.That brings me to the events in Vancouver this week. Gregor Robertson and Peter Ladner squared off in the biggest debate of the election schedule on Wednesday night to take on the front line issues of homelessness and affordable housing.It fell to the campaign team to lay out the truth behind a blatant misrepresentation of facts by Mr. Ladner when he said that he had never voted against the city's Homeless Action Plan - a clarification that took no more work than checking the Council Meet...
