...Have you been able to do what Teri Hatcher could never do - drop the phrase fuhgeddaboutit on Wisteria Lane? Fuhgeddaboutit is always the subtext no matter what I'm saying. Even if I don't say, it's there...
...lack of study on the topic. Although the term "video game addiction" appeared in the research as early as 1983 - in reference to kids getting hooked on arcade games - the scientific evidence hasn't progressed much since. Anecdotally, therapists who now specialize in video-game and Internet addiction say it's a growing and serious problem. But it will be some time before it meets the threshold for inclusion in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). "The central issue is the absence of research literature on this," says Dr. Charles O'Brien, director of the University...
Despite evidence to the contrary, Zelaya denies that he defied the Supreme Court. (The matter was being appealed, he says.) But, like the rest of the hemisphere, he asks, "Even if I did, why wasn't I charged and tried in court instead of removed before dawn by the threat of soldiers' bullets and flown away?

But in fact I was pursuing social policies, like raising the minimum wage, that our economic elite found threatening...
Chandrayaan-I was launched last October; the ISRO lost contact with it in late August. At the time, critics questioned the program's worth and the need for future missions. But ISRO scientists say they simply underestimated the radiation levels the probe and its communication system would face, problems they will now fix.

The ISRO, Nair told reporters, is "100% satisfied with the mission's objectives." (See the top 50 space moments...
...approved Chandrayaan-I at the Independence Day function on August 15, 2003, said he wanted India's space program to become one of the best in the world. Supporters of the program argued that a lunar mission would provide untold technological spin-offs. Many of those same enthusiasts now say they have been vindicated. Operating a satellite at a distance ten times beyond anything they had done before has given the ISRO valuable experience in hi-tech spacecraft, rocketry and advanced remote navigation technology. At $79 million, the program's budget also comes in way under those by many competitors...
