Wednesday Times

In today's paper I read an article that told me that maternal deaths worldwide from problems giving birth was declining. I know that health care around the world can be very poor, but this might start to turn it around. Another article that I found interesting was about college waiting lists. Sometimes when a prospective student applies to a school they are put on a waiting list and even then chances are you still won't get in. The article informed me that of the 3300 students on the wait list only about 60 will get in. Why put that many on the list then?
