...California, San Francisco, and Children's Hospital Oakland has found that post-traumatic stress syndrome affects children as young as age 7 more often than previously believed and for longer than parents think, even after minor accidents like bike crashes and falls. Postaccident, parents should be on the lookout for a change in grades, loss of concentration and increased tearfulness or jumpiness...
...drastic change? Call it an early midlife crisis. As Lookout Records founder Lawrence Livermore so graciously explains in the promotional materials, Green Day aren't just snot-nosed kids anymore. Billie Joe has a wife and two boys, for whom he says he wants to write songs about hope. Well, that's fine, but how does the music sound?

Eco-scouts will be on the lookout for so-called Trojan gene effects, and bounty hunters will help the USDA eliminate transgenic species that get out of hand...

Chen found out from one of the men that they would earn $5,000 for each Chinese they got into the U.S. alive. But because immigration authorities were on the lookout for Chen's group, they camped in the forest until the end of December. The Chinese would be much more conspicuous to informers on the Mexican side of the border than Hispanic immigrants, and the coyotes worried that their smuggling routes for the Chinese would be betrayed.
