With kids, heartburn can be tricky to diagnose--especially with children too young to describe the pain they're feeling. It's up to the parents to watch for telltale signs: episodes of vomiting, inability to sleep, a persistent sour taste in the mouth, bad breath and chronic coughing. Other clues may be the onset of pain soon after a child lies down or a hoarse voice when a child wakes...
...Stars and Stripes, the Pentagon-subsidized but editorially independent military newspaper, reported that half the troops serving in Iraq believe their unit's morale is low. A third said their mission lacked clarity; half said they were unlikely to re-enlist. Perceptions like those undermine military authority and help sour the U.S. public on the mission...
Part of the hostility may come down to sour grapes. Last year the Beeb's for-profit operations, which are separate legal entities, brought in revenues of $1.9 billion--35% higher than in 2000--and returned $249 million to the BBC's not-for-profit side.

But the Beeb more than muddled through, and one of its biggest success stories is right here in America...

Besides, who eats plain potatoes? We love to dress them up--mashed with butter or gravy, baked with sour cream, deep-fried, scalloped or au gratin. Putting the humble potato at the center of every meal might have been a necessity a century ago. It isn't now. You don't have to stop eating potatoes--just don't eat them to the exclusion of other vegetables...
