The James Logan Colts played against the Heritage Patriots last Friday, but the Colts were not as mighty against the Patriots.

Both teams came into the game with two solid defense, although the Patriots' defense wasn’t able to stop Logan running back Miles Long from a 26-yard touchdown run. Still, the field goal was blocked, which kept the score at 6-0 with 9: 32 left in the first quarter.

Although Logan drew first blood, the Patriots struck right back with an 80-yard drive in 18 plays as Heritage player Kruger Story, Jr. scored and ended the clock with 16 seconds left in the first half.

MEXICO CITY ⁙ Exposing a dark page in its history, the U.S. government acknowledged Friday that its scientists had infected hundreds of Guatemalans with syphilis in experiments conducted from 1946 to 1948 in "appalling violations" of medical ethics.
Under the experiments, U.S. scientists sent prostitutes infected with syphilis into a Guatemalan prison, mental health hospital and army barracks to test possible cures.
"Although these events occurred more than 64 years ago, we are outraged that such reprehensible research could have occurred under the guise of public health," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a joint statement.

"We deeply regret that it happened, and we apologize to all the individuals who were affected by such abhorrent research practices."

LIZHUANG, China — This is a village of empty rooms, children left behind and frail grandparents who struggle to hold it all together. Most of the able-bodied adults have left the hamlet of rutted, muddy roads and drought-withered fields of corn.

House after house, the same family tale is repeated: The parents have migrated to the big cities for work; their young children stay with grandparents, great-grandparents or any other relatives who can shelter and feed them. At the age of 10 or so, when the youngsters are considered old enough, many move into packed boardinghouses attached to their public schools.

From wikipedia:
Virginia Proctor Powell Florence (October 1, 1897 - 1991) was a trailblazer in both African-American history and the history of librarianship. In 1923 she became the second African-American to be formally trained in librarianship, after Edward Christopher Williams. However, she was still the first Black woman in the United States to earn a degree in library science.
