Just 32 percent of fifth-, seventh- and ninth-grade students in San Gabriel Valley and Whittier-area schools are physically fit, according to test results released last week by the California Department of Education. The statistics are right in line with the statewide average, which is 31 percent. The Physical Fitness Test measures students in the areas of body composition, aerobic capacity, abdominal strength, trunk extensor strength, upper body strength and flexibility.
After the Supreme Court last week declared unconstitutional the way one school district in Seattle and one in Louisville, Ky., used race in determining which students were accepted to filled schools, the question becomes how the ruling will effect the many school districts across the country that similarly use race in school assignments. The Seattle school district stipulated a 40 percent white, 60 percent nonwhite composition, and the Louisville school district required black enrollment of 15 percent to 50 percent. Chief Justice John Roberts penned a strong opinion, which was joined by Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, but its implications were not fully endorsed by the fifth member of the majority and the court's new swing voter, Justice Anthony Kennedy.
According to the Federal Reserve's 2007 study of the composition of the check market, nearly 50 percent of checks written are consumer-to-business checks.

What makes this recent spike in homelessness so unique, however, is the composition of the new population. On average, 20 percent of the American homeless have jobs, they simply cannot save enough or work often enough to find a stable place to live. Many of the new "mortgage homeless" are gainfully employed as well, and on average have families and have slightly higher levels of education than previous generations of homeless citizens. Further, more of the "new homeless" are formerly middle- and upper-class Americans, who arguably have no idea how to access the social services that are available to many Americans who have skirted along the margins of poverty for years. This is not to suggest that somehow those who have fallen further financially deserve more pity, however, we can't lose...
Stocks post modest gains NEW YORK -- Investors added to the week's strong gains in the stock market after finding some positives in a surprisingly weak jobs report. Although the nation's unemployment rate topped 10 percent in October, the pace of job losses has slowed. The rise in joblessness, while not welcome news for the economy, reassured some investors that the Federal Reserve will have to hold interest rates low for some time. That tends to weaken demand for the dollar, which in turn gives a boost to stocks. When the dollar is weaker, U.S. goods are cheaper for buyers overseas. Companies that do business overseas also get a profit boost when their earnings are translated back into dollars. WASHINGTON - Much has changed since the jobless rate hit 10.1 percent in September 1982, in...
