...This is called emotional lability. While on the medicine in school, I rarely ask my friends what there is to do on the weekend. At lunch, I literally sit at the table without saying a word, and because of that, I have lost a whole bunch of friends. I drift from table to table, but I don't have one true group that I belong to. This gets me depressed at times. But when I am off my medicine, I am this outgoing, spontaneous, hilarious person. When I go to parties, I do not take my medicine...

The U.S. began implementing plans to interdict North Korean shipping on the high seas to stop exports of drugs and weapons - a move that would almost certainly provoke North Korea to raise the ante through some new reckless gesture.

...shelves. Fully 25% of all meals are now consumed in restaurants, and of those eaten at home, two-thirds are either prepared entrees or restaurant takeout. With all that, Big Food has had to become Big Science. Companies that want to stay in the game can't afford to drift along with the same product line year after year until someone in R. and D. dreams up another Pop-Tarts or Pringles. Nor can they afford to have a good idea and then let it die from poor execution--simply that the corn in the corn puff was the wrong...
