...Harvard women’s basketball team (19-9, 11-3 Ivy) was denied a share of its third straight Ivy League title last night at Leede Arena in Hanover, N.H., falling to 2009 champion Dartmouth...
...Green, having clinched at least a share of the Ancient Eight crown after a win over Brown last Saturday, was in control throughout the contest. The story of the game was the Dartmouth frontcourt, for which the Crimson was prepared after a physical loss in January, but for which it ultimately had no answer the second time around. The team numbers told the story: the Big Green finished with 51 rebounds, including 20 on the offensive glass, to Harvard?...
...Georgia (58,397) and Florida (49,886). The states reporting the smallest populations of homeless children: Wyoming (169), Rhode Island (797), Vermont (1,174), North Dakota (1,181), and South Dakota (1,545). However, the report also ranks the states according to parameters that go beyond their share of homeless children, factoring in, among other things, incidence of such health conditions as asthma and tooth decay.

At the bottom of the list: Texas, Georgia, Arkansas, New Mexico...
Families with children comprise roughly one-third of the nation's homeless population. Poverty continues to be a core reason for the crisis, though the aftermath of Hurrican Katrina combined to swell the numbers in Louisiana, Texas and Georgia.

Homeless children are twice as likely as other children to be "retained," or held back, one academic year, or to be suspended or, ultimately, to drop out of school altogether. School districts across the country report a growing share of students who are "highly mobile" - who move multiple times within a school year. With each move, experts say, such students are at risk of falling some six months behind, or more, in their studies. Roughly one-quarter of homeless children have witnessed violence. It isn't surprising, then, that nearly half of such children suffer...
