NEW YORK -- Three sisters whose track and field prowess brought them medals, TV appearances and even a magazine cover are still struggling for something thats eluded them: a home of their own.Tai, Rainn and Brooke Sheppard and their mother still share a bed in a Brooklyn homeless shelter despite an outpouring of attention that began this summer when The Associated Press wrote about how they overcame hardships to qualify and earn medals in the AAU Junior Olympic Games in Houston.Ten-year-old Rainn won the 3,000 meters; Tai, 11, was second in the 80-meter hurdles, and Brooke, 9, was second in the high jump.Many were touched by their plight and wanted to help; a philanthropist bought mother Tonia Handy a plane ticket to watch her girls run at the games and others came forward with tips for her to find a better job. But months later, even as the girls are being honored as Sports Illustrated Kids SportsKids of the Year, Handy is still looking for something better than the minimum-wage job answering phones at a taxi company and that elusive place of their own.I just want a nice mattress, Handy told the AP this week. Can I just have a nice mattress to lay my head and just relax and take a breather before I get up and start this new life?New York Citys Department of Homeless Services says Handy has been working with a case manager since October on a plan to leave the shelter system. Some options didnt work out because of apartments being a long way from Brooklyn or scheduling issues that made Handy miss meetings with potential landlords. Handy says one job she had been offered was in another borough and too long a commute, while another interview didnt result in an offer.But the family appreciates the love theyre receiving, most recently on an appearance of ABCs The View, where host Whoopi Goldberg showed the girls on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Kids issue for December that made it clear they had won and presented the family with $10,000, along with $40,000 for their Brooklyn-based Jeuness Track Club.That money is going to make a really big difference in our lives, Handy said.Brooke said on the show that joining the track club was the best thing that ever happened to her.It makes us more responsible, she said. And it gives us an idea of whats going to happen in the future, like getting a scholarship. Nike Vapormax Discount .

Wholesale Shoes China . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . Its not often Maryland can say it has something in common with Ohio State, Michigan and Nebraska.Like those standard bearers of college football, the Terrapins are still unbeaten this season. Since Marylands 7-0 start in 2001, the Terrapins have taken a perfect record into their fifth game only in 2013 and this season.No one is pulling harder for first-year coach DJ Durkin -- at least until their teams meet Nov. 5 -- than Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh. Durkin was a Harbaugh assistant for three years at Stanford and was his defensive coordinator with the Wolverines last season.Harbaugh said Tuesday hes been following the Terps progress and has watched three of their games. He said hes spoken with Durkin a couple times since the season started, usually on matters only coaches would find interesting.Hes busy doing his duties and Im busy doing mine, Harbaugh said, but were watching with a lot of pride what hes doing and very proud of the job hes doing.Maryland, which puts its 4-0 record on the line this week at Penn State, already has one more win than it had all of last season. Two more wins will make the Terps bowl eligible. Their 173 points are a program record for four games, and their 50-7 win over Purdue last week was their most lopsided conference victory since 2010.The biggest difference from 2015 to 2016?The Terps have turned over the ball twice. Last year at this point they had 14 turnovers, including 12 interceptions.Durkin said he addressed the turnover issue the first day he met with the team.Its just been a process of talking about it, teaching our players just how the game works and how a turnover can really kill you -- how a punt is not a bad play, he said. Taking a sack or throwing it away isnt all bad if you go punt and play good defense. You may have been won yourself some field position.Marylands schedule gets increasingly tougher, with November featuring road games against Michigan and Nebraska and a home game against Ohio State.Other notes from the Big Ten coaches teleconference:HEALING HUSKERSNebraaska coach Mike Riley, whose team has a bye this week, said receiver Jordan Westerkamp (back) and tight end Cethan Carter (elbow) probably will miss the Oct.dddddddddddd 15 game at Indiana.Running back Devine Ozigbo probably wont practice this week as he recovers from an ankle sprain. Riley said hes hopeful offensive lineman Tanner Farmer and receiver Alonzo Moore will be back from injuries that kept them out of the Illinois game.BARRETTS FAST ASCENTWith four touchdown passes against Rutgers, Ohio States J.T. Barrett became the schools all-time leader with 59. Barrett also has 84 TDs responsible for and needs five more passing or rushing touchdowns to break Braxton Millers record of 88.Barrett, a junior, has played in 27 games and started 21.This is only his second year, maybe 2 + years, of full-time starting, Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said. He would be the first to tell you hes been very fortunate to be around very good players and a very offensive line that protects him and guys that make plays. When you think of the history of this great university, and he could be No. 1, thats incredible.LAGOWS COMPOSUREIndiana coach Kevin Wilson was heartened by quarterback Richard Lagows bounce-back from his five-interception game against Wake Forest. The Big Tens passing yardage leader was picked off once against Michigan State but led touchdown drives on the Hoosiers last three series in regulation in a 24-21 overtime victory.He lost his composure in the fourth quarter (against Wake Forest), and that hurt us with his body language. You cant be a leader if you cant lead yourself, Wilson said. He got into a competitive game and got in a similar situation and got it corrected against a very challenging team in Michigan State. What I saw last week was a guy who got into position where he could have lost his composure and he kept it.--Online:AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
