...didn't live near a hospital - because they were born to parents unfamiliar with oral rehydration. For the third time in 12 days, 6-month-old Ullash has been admitted to the ICDDR's children's ward; just one of 325 patients admitted within the last 24 hours. The boy weighs only 69% of the expected weight for his age and is malnourished. He has a high fever, a cough and persistent diarrhea. His parents, Jurin and Nazdin, educated Dhaka residents, wait anxiously as he receives intravenous fluids. "We don't understand where this is coming from," says Nazdin...
...longer the siege of Gaza lasts, the more likely it is to strengthen radicals who have little interest in a peaceful settlement of the dispute with Israel. Despite the blockade of Gaza, many Palestinians still have a few good memories of Israelis. Feheme, an 11-year-old Palestinian boy with blood cancer, was twice treated in Jerusalem and still gets follow-up calls from his doctor.

Fashion insiders--the people who determine which trends will make it onto department-store shelves or fashion-magazine covers and, eventually, to Zara--need a bad boy to shock them into a new look. When everyone is comfortably buttoned up in their cocoon coats, they need someone to reconfigure the silhouette with a stovepipe pant...
...weeks ago, I advised Cornell skipper Jim Knowles to give more touches to tailback Luke Siwula, after the junior carried just 13 times in the Big Red’s season-opening loss. That Saturday, Siwula tallied a mere 15 rushes as Cornell lost again. Last week, Jimmy Boy finally figured it out and Luke made like Si-mule-a, toting it 32 times on his way to racking up 162 yards and a TD. And guess what? The Big Red picked up its first victory. Coincidence? I think...
