...journal Pediatrics found that underachieving British children's reading and spelling abilities were dramatically improved when their diets were supplemented with fish oils containing omega-3 fatty acids - essential for brain development but missing from modern processed foods. Schools and parents are finally waking up to the notion that poor diet is making kids fatter, angrier and less able to learn. The health-and-nutrition class at St. Joan of Arc, for instance, is part of a government-sponsored effort to tackle child obesity.

They're merging into a single integrated, portable, customizable media gestalt. This is what used to be known, in the quaint...
...king's remains. Using an exact model of Tut's skull, three forensic teams then reconstructed the face behind the famous golden mask. The process is documented in a National Geographic Channel special, King Tut's Final Secrets, airing May 29. The images also debunk the notion that Tut was murdered.
