While traditional psychotherapists focus their treatments on the patient's interior - whether through pharmaceuticals like Prozac, mindfulness practices like meditation, or old-fashioned couch-bound therapy by the hour - practitioners of the burgeoning field of eco-therapy believe that patient care must include time spent in the great outdoors. "It's psychotherapy - as if nature really mattered," says Linda Buzzell-Saltzman, a psychologist and the founder of the International Association for Ecotherapy, which currently lists slightly more than 100 official members...
...Despite whatever opposition new benefits-tax proposals might face, it's unlikely health-reform legislation will emerge without them. The Senate Finance Committee - one of five in Congress that oversee health care and the only one that has not yet unveiled at least draft legislation - must include in its draft a plan to pay for reform. The three Democrats (led by Finance chairman Max Baucus of Montana) and three Republicans (led by Chuck Grassley of Iowa) trying to hammer out a bipartisan agreement behind closed doors have made some progress on reaching a consensus. In addition to scrapping a requirement...

...Nonreligious Iranians turned up for political reasons. The devout showed them how to carry out the rituals, with strangers handing out newspapers as substitute prayer mats for overflow crowds. Men and women prayed together, a regime taboo. When Rafsanjani referred to detainees, the crowd interrupted by roaring, "Political prisoners must be freed!" Calling for support of Iran's Supreme Leader, who backed the crackdown, another prayer official intoned, "We are all your soldiers, Khamenei! We await your orders!" But supporters of defeated presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi shouted back, "We are your soldiers, Mousavi! We await your orders!" And when...
