...lazy. At a teaching hospital, you're more apt to find a psychiatrist who will listen to your story and prescribe medications they know work. My doctor is open to drugs like lithium that have been around for a long time and have a great track record but aren't going to make her rich...
That's the same bind that NBC, and media companies at large, are in. People aren't going to enjoy watching a lame prime-time talk show for the satisfaction of knowing they're helping the parent company save on payroll. People who expect something else - lavish scripted dramas or typo-free news from costly foreign bureaus - will get alienated and leave, only deepening the revenue spiral that led to the cuts in the first place...
Having been burned by the Leno experiment, NBC now says it's going "back to basics." If only it could.

Simple tooth-and-claw survival: it's the oldest business model...
Cougars are largely an affluent, professional women's group, and they are not easily thrown overboard. They have already found other lines that aren't as squeamish about May-December cruise groups.

That's not to say geologists aren't making headway. Instruments that detect P waves are a good example. Earthquakes set off two kinds of seismic vibrations: body waves, which move through the interior of the earth, and surface waves, which move on top. The fastest of the body waves is the P wave, and it's thus the first to travel from the epicenter to a seismic station where it can be detected. P waves don't give you a whole lot of notice, but even a little bit can help. In California, gas lines in many homes...
