By Jeanne Feldkamp Your kids probably already listen to tons of podcasts. But what are podcasts, anyway? They're commercial-free, mostly homegrown MP3 audio programs -- from talk shows to music programming -- that you can listen to or share online. The word podcast originated as a combination of "iPod" and "broadcast" -- but you don't need an iPod to create or listen to podcasts. Just like digital music, you can download podcasts from web sites and play them through your computer's media player or listen to them through your portable MP3 player.

It felt like someone was pounding a tiny nail into the joint. Wow! Are my hitchhiking days really over? No, it's just the beginning of arthritis -- not a serious ailment at this stage and entirely treatable. I ran out and bought my first bottle of glucosamine-chondroitin (more of that later) and sat down to update myself on arthritis, the #1 cause of disability in Americans over 15. You can get arthritis at any age -- 300,000 children have it -- but Baby Boomers are especially vulnerable. According to www.ArthritisFoundation.org -- my newest bookmark -- appro
