As we move into warmer weather, many of us are using muscles that were in hibernation during recent months. Whether one is a serious athlete, a weekend warrior or just moderately active, warming up is an important prelude to any physical exertion. What should we know to avoid getting hurt?

"Once upon a time there was a federal requirement for broadcasters to present controversial issues of public importance in an honest, equal and balanced manner. It was called the Fairness Doctrine. Although no longer mandated by law, I still believe in the concept. QUALITY OF LIFE is intended to serve that purpose."
