Villanova basketball is realizing its athletic potential. Americans are realizing they have to be more more careful with their money. And the fact is, we all come to different realizations each and every day. Some are big and some are small. Some are quick and some last a very long time. But whatever size or how ever long they may last, realizations allow us to learn and grow. So as you read, we hope that the words are helping you realize something you didn’t know before.

Fatter chance with close fast food (UWIRE) – A fast-food restau- town rant being in close proximity to a high school increases the obesity rate among its freshmen, accord- ing to a recent study by UC Berke- ley economists and a Columbia University researcher. The study, released in January, found that freshmen who attend high school a tenth of a mile from a fast-food restaurant have an obe- sity rate at least 5.2 percent higher than other freshmen. Additionally, there was “no dis- cernible effect” on obesity for high schools with fast-food restaurants within a quarter mile or half mile, or with non-fast-food restaurants nearby. “What we found was basically that only very close fast-food plac- es matter,” said Vikram Pathania, a researcher in the study who re- cently received his doctorate from UC Berkeley. “(And) if it’s not a fast-food restaurant then it does not lead to a spike in obesity.” The study looked at data from three million California public school freshmen, who are all re- quired to take a fitness test in the spring.
