...such prescriptions sound a little simplistic, consider this: A 2007 study by researchers at the University of Essex in England found that a daily dose of walking outside could be as effective as taking antidepressant drugs for treating mild to moderate depression. Of course, it's no secret that regular exercise is a powerful mood enhancer - although researchers noted that a similar regimen of walking in a crowded shopping mall did not have the same impact - and the boost in vitamin D production in people who spent more time outside in the sun surely helped as well...
...Sleepwalking is dedicated to the memory of those fallen artists, and is a more than fitting tribute. Dengue Fever meet and jam with musicians who have attempted to preserve the Khmer sound. Together, in the film's lively finale, they perform a concert in a Phnom Penh slum. The crowd initially gawks but ends up being thoroughly charmed. Spend a summer afternoon listening to Dengue Fever's bittersweet corpus and you just might be won over yourself...
Sitting around their kitchen table, with grandchildren's plastic toys scattered on a deck beyond sliding-glass doors, the Katz family doesn't look or sound militant. Indeed, to American ears, their version of the national narrative sounds rather familiar. "I would love it that the little outposts someday have their own playgrounds and Little League," Sharon Katz says. "Israel shouldn't leave any hilltop! How did communities start out in the American West? With one log cabin. When we bought this land, it was a rocky hillside. Look what it looks like today...
...main thrust of the legislation is to take the consumer-protection responsibilities (and consumer-protection regulators) now housed at the Federal Reserve and other banking agencies and give them their own new home. In trying to balance the joint responsibilities of protecting consumers and keeping banks safe and sound (that is, profitable), bank regulators have in the past decade failed at both. So the idea is that if we create an agency with consumer in the name and a clearer focus, we'll have a better shot at protecting consumers from dangerous, deceptively packaged financial products and keeping banks from...
...literary prizes but was essentially stripped of his New Jersey poet-laureate title after penning a post-9/11 poem that was denounced as anti-Semitic. The writer, who was reared in Newark and still lives in the city, is a voice from the civil rights era who can sound resentful of postracial politicians like Booker and Obama. To Baraka, they are profiting from the opportunities that he fought so hard to create. If any local figure is going to rant about cutting Booker's "nuts out," as Jesse Jackson did in a slip about Obama last summer, it would...
