| FIRST-TEST COMMENTARY: DAY FOUR
A couple of singles complete the scoring, and England are throwing in the towel now, just waiting for the declaration. England's shoddy cricket since lunch has already ensured they'll face about 10 more overs than they should have done to get a draw. Bell in particular owes it to his side to bat them out.
Sri Lanka 2nd Inns, 351-3: Sangakkara 112*, Silva 33* 0831: Panesar gets a bowl with a pretty new ball. 0830: Over 97 Could be some good entertainment here, with Sri Lanka now having free rein to slap their way to a declaration. Anderson is liable to help them out, and does so with a short, wide gift that Sangakkara whacks through cover-point for four.

We can defeat childhood obesity in Carson City
Overweight children and childhood obesity have become an epidemic in the United States, including Carson City.
The Centers for Disease Control reports that in just three decades, obesity has more than doubled among children ages 2-5 and adolescents 12-19, and has more than tripled among youths aged 6-11. As of 2004, the CDC reported that almost 19 percent of children ages 6-11 were overweight in the United States. In fact, overweight and obesity are now considered one of the most dangerous health problems facing children today.
Why should we be concerned about this problem? First, overweight children are more likely to become overweight adults. They are also at increased risk for premature onset of illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and high blood pressure.

She set out as she had done every Sunday afternoon for years. She locked her door, turned to the weather, and held the hand rail as she stepped carefully down from the porch. Once on the ground she adjusted her hat on her gray head. As this was a winter day in the Christmas season, a cold day, she also adjusted her coat. Had it been raining, she would have pulled a large lawn and leaf bag, as if it were a poncho, over her head and upper body. Most times she shouldered her hand bag. This day she also shouldered a bulging plastic shopping bag. She walked along the dirt road that would lead her to the paved road that would lead her to the highway. Her only company was her shadow, small and indistinct at her feet. She walked without the deliberate care of someone unfamiliar with the terrain, but neither was her gait quick.
The Busyness of College Life
The average college student doesn't need to cook, clean, wash, or work. The reason? Money is not an issue. Credit cards and college loans serve as escalating pay scales that fluctuate according only to whim. If Mom and Dad can help, great! If they can't, my bank will. (Story continues below) .
