...pressure on families is growing because longer and more frequent deployments make for wrenching choices. As the number of women on active duty reaches 200,000, of a total of 1.4 million, it means that more mothers are likely to discover what it really means to balance job and family under extreme circumstances. The commute is hell, the business trip can last six months or a year, and the note left for the baby sitter includes your power of attorney and your will. Those who have husbands staying behind while they deploy find themselves conducting a crash course in smooth...
...deteriorate in Gaza. But President Bush assured Olmert that the U.S. position to maintain the pressure on Hamas remains steady. Taken together with Bush's promises that the U.S. would defend Israel in the event of an Iranian attack, it was a clear sign that while Ariel Sharon, a frequent visitor to the Bush White House, has left Israel's political scene, his legacy has not. No matter what differences they may have, Israel and the U.S. will continue to coordinate their positions on all decisions that affect one another. And that means managing the next steps in the Israeli...
...familiar story. In the American West, mountain lions are getting squeezed, and lethal attacks by the big cats have become more frequent. In the Northeast, it is black bears, foraging in suburban backyards. In Florida, it's alligators. And unlike cougars and bears, which are rarely spotted, alligators are everywhere and are almost always docile.

(For those of you who don't frequent art houses, we speak of Joel and Ethan Coen, Alexander Payne, Wes Craven, Alfonso Cuaron, Gurinder Chadha, Olivier Assayas, Walter Salles, Sylvain Chomet and Tom Tykwer.) Wouldn't it to lovely to bathe briefly in the radiance of Fanny Ardant, Juliette Binoche, Steve Buscemi, Sergio Castellito, Willem Dafoe, Ben Gazzara, Maggie Gyllenhaal...
...Rockstar to show you what drink of choice will help you stay awake over those textbooks. Unlike heroin, caffeine is best used when ingested in small doses throughout the night. According to a study co-authored by Charles A. Czeisler, a professor of sleep medicine at the Medical School, frequent, small amounts of caffeine can help maintain cognitive abilities for extended periods. On average, a cup of brewed coffee from the dining hall contains about 100 milligrams (mg) of caffeine, as opposed to an 8.2 ounce can of Red Bull which has about 80 mg. Interestingly, Diet Coke outweighs regular...
