...leafing through the paper, it’s all too easy to cling to glamorized, surface level details rather than dedicate the time to delve into the nitty-gritty. Although essential to the team, these roles take time to appreciate and too often receive less attention than deserved from non-affiliates of the team. I dedicate my first column to those players who don’t necessary make the headlines each time, who don’t rack up huge numbers and who don’t need to be in the spotlight to play the game and enjoy...

Children who play a musical instrument perform better on tests of motor, auditory, vocabulary, and non-verbal reasoning skills, according to a study by Harvard researchers released last month.

Development, whatever that means, isn’t happening in my home-stay village, no matter how much Western education is emphasized...
...first responders when La Promesse collapse. A Haitian fire department exists but in name only. It also apparently gets imaginary money: $50,000 budgeted to repair fire engines and other faulty equipment has never materialized. Meanwhile, the estimated 100 or so firemen are really police officers. "It's a non-number," says a former government security administrator. "They should be getting special training, but they don't." The so-called firemen dug with their bare hands through the concrete rubble of the school to look for and free trapped victims...
