...location, has since been named a best practice by the Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Army, which supports classes on its bases. Bishop's latest book, A Crash Course for New Dads, has a built-in audience. According to a 2007 Spike TV survey of more than 1,000 fathers, 71% of respondents felt they had to figure out on their own how to be a good dad. Tim Frye agrees. A political-science professor and Boot Camp veteran, he brought his 11-week-old son to the Weymouth class to help other men learn...
Surprisingly, this is Kapoor's first major museum survey in the U.S. in 15 years. In that time he's become a global art-world brand and something close to a household name in Britain, where he arrived in 1973 as a 19-year-old art student. He was first noticed for works in which he covered cones, cubes and pyramids with intensely colored raw pigment to make primal objects with a radioactive intensity. Since then, he's moved on to fiberglass, resin, acrylic and stainless steel, but almost always playing with the threshold between the solid and the immaterial...
...medicines are intended not only to help troops keep their cool but also to enable the already strapped Army to preserve its most precious resource: soldiers on the front lines.

Escalating violence in Afghanistan and the more isolated mission have driven troops to rely more on medication there than in Iraq...
...Pentagon that keeps statistics on just about everything, there is no central clearinghouse for this kind of data, and the Army hasn't consistently asked about prescription-drug use, which makes it difficult to track. Given the traditional stigma associated with soldiers seeking mental help, the survey, released in March, probably underestimates antidepressant use. But if the Army numbers reflect those of other services - the Army has by far the most troops deployed to the war zones - about 20,000 troops in Afghanistan and Iraq were on such medications last fall. The Army estimates that authorized drug use splits roughly...
...mutualistic, rather than confrontational, manner, and each side took the small steps necessary to improve the quality of life for Harvard’s students.The year opened auspiciously, as Harvard’s puritanical social scene managed to capture a surprising 10th place finish in a sex-life survey performed by Trojan Condoms. Quickly, however, the specter of conflict began to hover over student life.When students copying ISBN numbers for the textbook website Crimsonreading.org had the police called on them by the Harvard Coop, it shed light on the larger issue of the University’s unwillingness to lower...
