For example, in 2005, CARE responded to the earthquake in Pakistan with a team from neighboring countries that was able to operate in a place that restricted the movement of women.

"We weren't already based in the country, so it was hard for us to assess the situation," Giron says. Aware of its limits, CARE opted out of the mission...

...superstar," says Dr. Michael Bergeron of the Medical College of Georgia. "You should be thinking down the road so they can be that superstar at 18." That's what some training centers are now aiming to do. The coaches at BlueStreak Sports Training in Stamford, Conn., for example, assess each athlete's risk for knee injury, paying particular attention to girls, who are six times as likely as boys to injure their knees for a number of reasons, including basic anatomy, muscle strength and hormonal differences.
