Books - At What Height, Happiness? A Medical Tale - Review - NYTimes.com: "One exasperated pediatrician, musing on whether outcome justified cost, suggested a clinical trial to settle the question: one group of tiny boys would get growth hormone and each boy in the other group would each get $100,000 cash.

Recession hurting kids (The Daily Briefing)

Recession hurting kids (The Daily Briefing): "More than a third of Ohio children - 34 percent - were living in families where no parent had a full-time, year-round job in 2007.

That's up from 30 percent in 2000 and should come as little surprise as the state has been hemorrhaging jobs for years."

The difficult fact is that to let go of grievance requires us to become generous, even when we're the wronged party. In each and every moment - and particularly in moments like these - we choose who we're going to be."

Wayne County Star

Wayne County Star: "One post pretended to be from a woman with a Mexican boyfriend; the other two posts insinuated the boat had come from Cuba, berated farmers, accused them of breaking the law and praised the Border Patrol for doing a good job.
The posts, which were made anonymously on June 20 and 21, identified themselves on the public part of the website with fake Internet addresses: Imaapplehog2@yahoo.com, poorbabies@hotmail.com and hahaha@hotmail.com. The Star discovered they all had Internet protocol addresses that showed as originating from cbp.dhs.gov."
