...area that has been studied extensively is the benefits of cognitive-behavioral therapy vs. those of medication.

"Cognitive therapy should be a first-line approach," says the study's lead author, Charles Morin, "but many people do not have access...

President Obama recently pledged $19 billion to computerize America's medical records by 2014. Denmark has already made the transition.

Florida, of course, is hardly the only state where female teachers have been nabbed for preying on boys. And nationwide, male teachers still commit far more acts of sexual misconduct than females.
