Ideally, we'd all eat super healthful diets. But that's not the world we live in, and multivitamins may help bridge the nutritional gaps.

In an ideal world, we'd all be eating copious amounts of nutrient-dense foods such as fruits and vegetables and getting all the essential vitamins and nutrients our bodies need for optimal health.

But, as a nation, we're far from that healthful eating ideal.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Americans, on average, only eat about one fruit and one or two vegetables on a typical day. This helps explain why millions of people fall short of the recommended intakes of some vitamins and minerals.

For instance, more than 1 in 3 children and teens (ages 9 to 18) don't meet recommended intakes for calcium and vitamin D, according to a study in The Journal of Pediatrics.

So, how might people with less-than-stellar diets plug the gaps of good nutrition?

Fortification efforts, such as the Food and Drug Administration's requirement that folic acid be added to many cereals and breads, have paid off. As this CDC infographic points out, folate levels in women increased by 50 percent between 1993 and 2006. This is critical, since folate helps prevent birth defects.

Another option? Taking a daily multivitamin with minerals may be helpful.

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that supplements helped adults meet the recommended intake of certain minerals, such as calcium and magnesium in men and women, as well as iron for women.

"Get a more secure shed" - that's the message from Bracknell police after a spate of break-ins around the estates.

Police are warning people one of the reasons burglars target sheds is because they're often quite easy to break into and contain very expensive equipment including bikes, tools and fishing gear.

Chief Inspector Dave Gilbert of Bracknell police said while sheds are usually locked, burglars can prise open the slats or open windows to get inside.

He also stressed the importance of getting a good quality lock as cheap ones tend to be easier to break.

Ch Insp Gilbert recommended people buy a shed alarm which costs around 10 and can be bought online.

He said: "The alarms are infra-red and make a very loud noise when they go off.

"More often than not, that will scare a burglar off."

Other advice is to ensure the panels and door of the shed are in good quality and can't be easily smashed or pulled apart.

Thieves have also targeted detached garages in the estates around Bracknell.

Ch Insp Gilbert added: "The garages are often used for storage.

BELLEFONTE, CENTRE COUNTY - We're learning new details Wednesday in the investigation of Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller.

WTAJ obtained a copy of the search warrant Bellefonte Borough Police used to seize items from Parks Miller's office Saturday night.

The search warrant contains new details behind the alleged forgery by Parks Miller. Court documents state it was all a part of an attempt to stop an alleged 2013 inmate murder plot against an Assistant District Attorney from happening.

"Judge Ruest did not authorize Parks Miller to sign her name to this order." That's what the search warrant, filed on behalf of Bellefonte Police, alleges.

It goes on saying Ruest told police she was unaware the fake bail order had been prepared, that she had no knowledge of an ongoing investigation and that she never agreed to reduce an inmate's bail.

Ruest had no comment Wednesday.

The search warrant also alleges Parks Miller told her former paralegal, Michelle Shutt, and other employees to perform tasks relating to her 2013 election campaign.

Shutt is the woman who alleges to have witnessed Parks Miller sign the forged document before asking Shutt to file it in the Centre County Prothonotary's Office.

Parks Miller allegedly told Shutt to perform these tasks during county business hours and according to court documents, emails were sent to Shutt from Parks Miller's work and personal email addresses giving her direction.

The search warrant mentions a county owned laptop, mobile phone and iPad were seized by police.

A 55,000-year-old partial skull found in a cave in Galilee, Israel, gives clues to when our ancestors left their African homeland, and strengthens theories that they co-habited with Neanderthals

PARIS, France A 55,000-year-old partial skull found in the Middle East gives clues to when our ancestors left their African homeland, and strengthens theories that they co-habited with Neanderthals, scientists said Wednesday, January 28.

Found in Manot Cave in western Galilee, north Israel, the cranium has the characteristics of an early Homo sapiens, as anatomically modern humans are called, they said.

Manot is just a few dozen kilometers (miles) to the north and northwest of two other sites the Kebara and Amud caves where Neanderthal remains had been found.

Those relics were dated to between 50,000 and 65,000 years of age: in other words, humans from two species may have been contemporaries possibly even neighbors.

"It has been suspected that modern man and Neanderthals were in the same place at the same time, but we didn't have the physical evidence," said Bruce Latimer, a paleontologist at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio.

"Now we do have it, in the new fossil," he added.

Neanderthals are an enigmatic branch of the human tree, whose fossils and bone tools have been found in Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia.

Their record peters out about 30,000 years ago a strange ending that has triggered speculation that they were either wiped out by H. sapiens, the new and smarter hominid on the block, or that they disappeared because they interbred with us.
