...kids. A session costs around $80 a child; on average, kids go weekly for one year, although some, like Alexander, choose to stay longer. Peer Play Groups works with youngsters 5 to 13, and Cohen and Greenbaum carefully screen families, which are referred by teachers, doctors or friends, to weed out children with severe behavioral disorders. The goal is to balance each group with kids who are outgoing and those who are withdrawn. To help them address the difficulties they face--being teased or bullied at school, feeling excluded from playground activities, eating lunch alone--a board or card game...
Like the M1 Abrams tank that performed so well in Iraq, Bush does best when moving forward. But he was facing guerrilla attacks last week on both his reasoning for going to war and lack of preparation for the peace. "He is tired of the weed whacking and the process stories," a senior official said of the President. But Bush's problem is bigger than weed whacking. In the latest TIME/CNN poll, Bush's job-approval rating has dropped to 55%, where it stood before 9/11--just barely above his low of 53% in January during the anguished national debate about...

According to foreman Joanne Kramer, in arriving at the $5.8 million in damages, the jury considered everything from home health-care aides to a van, a wheelchair, the loss of his home...
...technology is proven, THG could be supervising the construction of rigs to generate "many thousands of megawatts." But no one expects the new system to be entirely smooth sailing. As any boatsman knows, the moment something goes into seawater it starts corroding, and soon becomes covered in barnacles and weed. The THG engineers are working on several ideas to combat corrosion, including protective coatings and cathodic protection - attracting corrosive chemicals to electrically charged plates of a dissimilar metal, known as sacrificial anodes, by running a weak electric current through the framework. The blades themselves will be cleaned with every rotation...
