If there is any matter upon which civilized countries have agreed..., it is the evil of premature and excessive child labor.So said Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., in 1918, when Americans were waging a fierce battle over the employment of young children.More than a century later, the argument rages again.

Few teams have historically been run as poorly as the Toronto Maple Leafs.The Toronto Maple Leafs have seen many players come and go through the years.It always stings when someone they had within the organization develops well beyond expectations, only it's with another franchise.This has been the case too many times in the organization's very long history.

Before cafeterias, fritangas, and sushi bars became ubiquitous in South Florida, locals knew they could always head to the local diner if they wanted something delicious, filling, and wallet-friendly.In Miami, these iconic American eateries seem to have gone the way of manatees, panthers, and other endangered species as casual Latin restaurants and late-night chains that resemble diners have taken over.

Yet to win an NBA championship or even qualify for the NBA Finals in the 21st century, you'll have to forgive me if watching Denver secure their first championship in franchise history has me feeling a little... nostalgic.Instead of feeling sorry for myself over the Bulls' state of mediocrity, however, I decided to boot up the ol' time machine to take a look back at things and construct an all-time starting five if we were to rank each player by total win shares.

NASHVILLE The American South didn't invent the murder ballad, but it certainly keeps the genre alive, both literally and musically.The oldest of these songs came from the folk traditions of the British Isles before crossing the Atlantic and being enshrined in the folkways of Appalachia.There they lived on in front-porch picking parties and mournful firesides until the phonograph slingshotted them to a national audience.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone One of the misimpressions people have about the world is that it's going to hell.Perhaps that's because humanity's great triumph over the last half-century huge reductions in poverty, disease and early death goes largely unacknowledged.Just about the worst thing that can happen to anyone is to lose a child, and historically, almost half of children died before reaching adulthood.
