...different from the rest of us. These are not the deranged homeless ranting in their portable bedlam, a ratty blanket near a street heat grate. Families like the Cochrans live in our neighborhoods, go to our churches, attend the same public schools as our kids. And in Columbus there are more of them every day: demand for shelter by families with young children is up 14% over last year and rising faster than requests by single adults. In other words, the Cochrans are us--after the roof has fallen...
...sales rep stationed at the front door of the Kroger supermarket in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, knew a family of attractive marks when she saw one. Here was a nice-looking young couple with their cooing newborn in the shopping cart: perfect targets for a high-speed spiel. "Have you had a family portrait yet? We're running a special deal this week, one 10 by 13-inch portrait, a $60 value, right now for just $8. Oh, the baby's so cute. Can I sign...
Phenom and De-Shawto are young parents with a long history. The Columbus natives have known each other since middle school, they went on their first movie date together (a comedy about upward mobility called Livin' Large) at 15, and both dropped out of school in the 11th grade, a move they regret deeply.

...week help resolve all these questions. The first paper addresses where the wolf-to-dog transformation took place. Biologist Jennifer Leonard, at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, and her co-authors collected the remains of dogs buried in North, Central and South America before Columbus showed up (and thus before interbreeding with European dogs could have taken place) and sampled their mitochondrial DNA, or MTDNA, which is passed on only from the mother. If these ancient American dogs had arisen locally, their MTDNA should have been similar to that of American wolves. Instead...
...whispery intensity, a benign, profoundly humane headmaster who displayed real pathos. His work on the Potter films was among his last, and it is hard to imagine the next installment without his contribution. Indeed, it is intriguing to consider what will become of the Potter franchise, now that Columbus is assuming a producer’s role while Alfonso Cuaron (of Y Tu Mama Tambien fame) takes over the helm for the third film, The Prisoner of Azkaban. The series is critic-proof, but it hardly matters—you’d have to be the worst sort...
