...there any sort of psychological training? The psychological preparation really happens at boot camp. They pretty much prepare you for anything. If you're going to fail, you're going to do it there usually. But above that, there really was no psychological training. They put us in shock-value scenarios, like viewing those autopsies. They put us in front of that to gauge our reactions, and I think most everybody dealt with it pretty well. That being said, one thing we do back home at Biotrauma, we've identified the fact that stress has a cumulative effect...
...nuclear standoff but that those penalties should be tied to a diplomatic outreach that includes more incentives and allows Tehran to back down without being humiliated. (They've also argued that such outreach will help the U.S. win support from reluctant allies for harsher measures should Iran fail to respond positively.) So, even as Obama courts the Iranians with talk of a new relationship, the U.S. is keeping existing sanctions in place and moving to win support for sterner measures - for example, by offering concessions to Russia on other issues in order to win its cooperation in pressuring Tehran...
...gruesome details of recent history. Also, to ticketholders, I’m sure it’ll be an interesting show.

Her puppy dog eyes bewitch many of the film’s characters, but fail to persuade the audience that her setbacks are truly as grave as she believes them to be. If the film really is “Little Miss Sunshine 2.0,” its greatest success lies in the updated evolution of the central characters. “Little Miss” chronicled...
...repetitive themes of love, death, obsession, and the occasional depression-induced suicide. The songs are morbid at best, and at their worst, such as in the slow ballad “Nothing To Give,” deathly boring. Space age glittery synth beats overwhelm straining vocals, but fail to mask what is clearly a sub-par rendition of Cure-esque mope-rock.McVeigh often harps on simplified clichés about the inextricable link between love and death, though he does deliver his elementary lyrical content with a reserved aplomb that salvages a handful of good tunes. Gifted with an eerie...
