Your best time to work out

When is the best time of day to work out? Some people think early morning, others like afternoon and there are people who love to workout late at night. So what is the correct answer to this question? As you can imagine, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to what time of day is best for a workout.

Toxic foods

Over the last seven years of writing this column, I have disproportionately written about nutrition more than any other health and fitness topic. One of the reasons I do this is food, in its many variations, overwhelmingly defines our health.

Innately speaking: Conservative or liberal?

In 2001, I cut back on my technical work and began writing about political, social, religious, and military subjects. During these 16 years, I received considerable feedback about this more subjective work.

Satan is in a cell phone

I grew up in a conservative Christian church with a robustly literal view of Satan. He was pictured as an actual being with mind-invading capacities for temptation and an insatiable lust for doing evil. Despite my upbringing, I had never been able to believe in Satan as anything more than a quaint, outdated metaphor. There's no need for a supernatural tempter. Humans are capable of monumental evil all on their own.

Immigration reform - A conservative approach

A consensus has been building about the need to reform and modernize our immigration system. While I am optimistic that Republicans, including "tea party" members, will support reform, it must be done right. We must create a system for the 21st century and beyond, one that honors the rule of law, provides a fair path for those seeking to come to the United States and fixes our broken borders.

Michelle; we will follow up the dinner with a tasting here at the shop on Friday, March 10.

What if I could?

Daniel Pink is the author of multiple bestsellers, and in his new book "To Sell Is Human," Pink believes you and I are in the business of moving others everyday. You might think you don't sell anything, but you do. Everyday, you and I are selling something: at work, home and in our community. We sell what we believe in and what we value. We sell our ideas, our dreams and the things we are devoted too. Sometimes we don't even know we are doing it, but we are selling the things we are passionate about.

COMMENTARY: Justice building expansion deserves support

In 2000, just under 109,000 people called Kootenai County home. Eight total judges served the county’s courts, including one whose position was created just two years before. A building addition including a courtroom and chambers ensured the new judge and staff had room not just to be present, but to perform their public service well. Today, 22 years later, Kootenai County is close to crossing 180,000 residents. The county now relies on 17 judges — four district judges and nine magistrate judges based here, aided by four other judges who travel from elsewhere. But aside from two courtrooms gained through buying the former federal court building in 2009, the space provided for Kootenai County’s courts remains the same. We have an opportunity to change this. ARPA funding can allow the county to expand the Justice Building, adding three larger jury courtrooms, space for judges, staff, clerks, the prosecutor’s office, security, and room for in-custody defendants and transportation from the sheriff’s office.

SENIOR: Seeing, and fearing

I’m a senior citizen, turning 80 this fall. I was taught civics in junior high, understood and retained its principles. Civics hasn’t been taught for years and that’s a shame. Because most people under 50 have no idea at all of what makes our Constitution great. Our Constitution isn’t great just because of what it says. Our Constitution is great because of the way it says it!

REGAN: Soaring toward the future

EVANS: Time for her youthful energy

When I saw that Amy Evans is running for Coeur d’Alene’s City Council this year, I was relieved. She’s the face of a new generation and of our city’s bright future. I’m ready for a young, energetic force with fresh ideas to help guide our beautiful city’s development and forward progress. Amy has proved her passion for Coeur d’Alene and demonstrated the skills essential to our City Council by leading the charge to save Sorensen Elementary and by serving on the city’s Planning Commission for six years. Neighborhood schools are the foundation of a healthy community. She proved her ability to unite people for the common good by recruiting the Kroc Center’s first 22,000 members and leading Ironman Coeur d’Alene volunteers for 10 years. She was so effective that Ironman named her Volunteer Captain of the Year. She proved her incredible energy by competing in Ironman twice.
