...affiliated lab at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta - a move some experts say was done to send the signal that nothing was being hidden on Bali - the larger dispute has yet to be settled. "I think there's progress on this, but we'd suggest a greater urgency," says John Rainford, a WHO spokesperson in Geneva...
...bears losing their habitat was really upsetting to them," she says. Treatment includes placing a photograph of a polar bear into the patient's hands and encouraging him or her to have a conversation with the bear as a way to ease the patient's despair. Pickett might also suggest that patients do their own research into the polar bears' situation. The hope is that patients will begin to better understand their feelings. As they do so, they might decide to take action by, say, giving money to a save-the-polar-bear fund...
Taking action is encouraged in Lindner's practice as well. To help her eco-anxiety patients, Lindner recommends tasks that are directly related to the cause of their fears.

Or she proposes that they start a drive at the school to send sunscreen to children in Australia, where the shifting ozone poses a particularly grave threat...

Currently, gifted programs too often admit marginal, hardworking kids and then mostly assign field trips and extra essays, not truly accelerated course work pegged to a student's abilities. Ideally, school systems should strive to keep their most talented students through a combination of grade skipping and other approaches (dual enrollment in community colleges, telescoping classwork without grade skipping) that ensure...
