...There are not enough doctors to go around," says Dr. Martin Drell, head of child psychiatry for Louisiana State University's health-science center in New Orleans and AACAP's president-elect. For example, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the local hospital doesn't have a child psychiatrist, so doctors some six hours away, at Michigan State University in East Lansing, treat patients via videoconferencing. In South Carolina, a statewide telepsychiatry program established last summer has cut the average waiting period for a child to get a psychiatric consultation from several days (in part because many families in rural areas...
...addition to expanding the geographic reach of individual psychiatrists, videoconferencing can help cut down on some of the stigma of going to see a shrink. Students at Ball High School in Galveston, Texas, can now go to the school's health clinic and - without having to press a button or flip a switch - be face to face with a psychiatrist. "There is a flat-screen TV, and that's where they can see the clinician and talk in real time," says Dr. Fred Thomas, a psychiatric epidemiologist who heads community-based mental-health services and policy for the University...

In an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Merkel accused Westerwelle of repeating the obvious. Of course those who work should get more than those who don't work, the Chancellor said. The message: I'm in charge. (Read: "Angela Merkel's Moment...
Eventually the Taliban will want to return as well. Marjah is too big a prize - for its drug revenue and its propaganda value - to give up. Unlike the drug traffickers, insurgent fighters didn't have to go very far to hide from McChrystal's troops. Abdul Rahman Jan, a tribal elder and former Helmand-province police chief, points out that "hardly a single gun was captured by the NATO forces." He believes that many of the Taliban fighters simply moved back from their quarters inside Marjah's mosques and madrasahs to stay with their families. Wherever they are, the insurgents...
