...vitamins didn't get them at all: kids from lower-income families who had less reliable, if any, access to health care, who relied on food stamps and were often forced to skip meals were less likely to take vitamins and minerals. "Children who face poverty, food insecurity and lack regular balanced meals have a high likelihood of benefiting from supplements," says Shaikh, but they typically don't have access to them because of cost...
...course, Coach Grimes was not blameless. Nor were the parents and fans, who acted as cheerleaders and affirmers of the lack of sportsmanship. It is all too easy to forget the actual players on the winning team, with normally almost any problem in youth sports being thrown onto the adults involved.

...state officials, the weekend involved a rapid reassessment of just how dire the situation had become.

In scoring 77, the squad easily eclipsed its season average.Yet the game was still undecided with seven minutes to play, as Harvard took its last lead at 56-54 with two free throws by freshman Keith Wright.From that...
...Aside from the abstract and Constitutional issues underlying the case, there is a simple lack of evidence at hand for Valentine’s arrest. Considering her reason for appearing in front of the court—a minor traffic violation—it is mystifying why the bailiff and other law enforcement officials would treat her like a criminal and drag her in front of a judge. More disturbing than this arrest is the ex post facto change in the charges brought against Valentine—somehow, a procedural violation (no headgear in the courtroom) became a real criminal...
