Learn more about the benefits of standardized design.
Tommy Marcos Sr. sits in his office behind the restaurant’s bar, the plain wood-paneled walls covered with photos of babies and kids. The backs of his hands are darkened and dried with age, and his voice purrs softly and slowly. On one desk sits a seemingly obsolete adding machine. On another, flat panel computer monitors balance the...

WASHINGTON - Kids don't run outside and play like they used to, and parents say being a couch potato is a major culprit in the growing problem of childhood obesity.
Lack of exercise edged out easy access to junk food as the main concern of the 21 percent of parents who conceded in an AP-KOL poll that their children are overweight. KOL is the kids' service of America Online.

With his red hair, pale skin and fake Irish accent, Frederick D. Russell could easily hide in the underground economy of Dublin, Ireland, U.S. Marshal Mike Kline said.
The power of the Internet was his undoing. Shortly after his image appeared on the Marshals Service 15 Most Wanted list, a tipster recognized Russell and contacted U.S. authorities.
That began a lengthy and secretive ...

A blind activist who has exposed official abuses and forced abortions in China's eastern Shandong province was beaten Monday when he tried to leave his home.

It was a very cold, grey day in January. A persistent drizzle accompanied by a cold storm added to the misery of the little group that had gathered near an open grave. A young child was being buried. The mother sobbed brokenly, and beside her stood the child's father, shattered and anguished.
A few feet away, a bare-headed man, with his heart filled with sympathy for the bereaved and str...

Lewis got so involved in the sport she carried a footbag with her and practiced kicking while waiting for flights at the airport.
She honed her accuracy by aiming at coffee cans set up on the lawn. She modified her shoes to their footbag-friendliest, ripping out a few seams and pulling back the laces to create a bigger toe box. She could even kick balls of tree moss or wads of paper, popp...

THE young Iraqi man being interviewed on Channel 4 News was absolutely clear about what he thought should happen to Saddam Hussein.
Hanging, shooting, beheading or any other gruesome death the state might entertain simply wasn't good enough.
That would be too easy on Saddam. The people of Iraq, especially those who lost loved ones under his cruel regime, wanted more. Saddam had to ...

WRAPPED in bulky shawl-collared woollen coats that make them look twice their size, the women brace themselves against the cold wind which comes blowing down Shandwick Place and into their faces as they line up around the corner of Binns waiting for the doors to open.
The department store's name may be different, and their clothing is a giveaway, but the one thing that seems not to have ...

SCHOOLBOY Blair McNeill sat on top of the brick wall and eased himself over to the other side, blissfully unaware that his next step could be fatal.
Ignoring his friends' pleas, the 14-year-old stood within the electricity substation, scanning the maze of boxes and tangle of pipework for what someone had told him was a lost football.
"My pals were shouting at me to get off, and I t...
