...often bitter, and as I have pointed out before, the book makes at least one fundamental error in the way it conceives of mental problems: it ignores causes almost entirely. If you feel sad and tired for a couple of months, have trouble sleeping and making decisions, and gain weight, you can be given a DSM diagnosis of depression (296.31 or 296.32, mild or moderate, recurrent) and prescribed drugs for it - even if the reason for your funk is that you just lost your job. Such physiological responses as insomnia are evolutionarily natural (and sometimes helpful, in a jump-starting...
...punk (one which they were only awarded de facto) and the glitzy sheen of pop production that denoted it. “Not Without a Fight” aspires to a grittier, harder sound. But while this approach is not without some success, ultimately the album sags under the weight of its overused clichés and utterly insipid lyricism. Right from the start, the album smacks of NFG’s new sound. “Right Where We Left Off” barrels forth with heavily distorted, amped up guitars and dizzying cymbal crashes that don?...
...Today. Harvard sophomore Sean Gil finished eighth, matching his personal best by clearing 4.80 meters. Distance-running sophomore Dan Chenoweth followed his Heptagonals title in the 3000-meter by finishing second overall on Saturday with a time of 8:06.64, just two seconds shy of his personal best.

Senior thrower Neville Irani achieved a personal best in the weight throw, finishing 11th with 17.65 meters. Sophomore thrower Ablorde Ashigbi topped his previous...
...Zhou and Zhang talked numbers Thursday, they emphasized that China is doing all it can, but the rest of the world - and particularly the U.S. - needs to begin pulling its weight again. Asked what further steps China might take, Zhou replied, "What we are waiting for is, what will happen in the country where the crisis originated. If you can explain what that country will do, we can say what we will...
...elephants, all of which might otherwise be languishing as street beggars. Often, soliciting snacks from urbanites and tourists is the only way an owner can cover the cost of feeding an animal that in the wild eats up to 550 lb. (250 kg), or around 5% of its body weight, each day. (Foreigners may thrill at the sight of an elephant plodding past high-rises, but a smoggy metropolis is not a natural habitat for creatures unused to cars or open manholes.) Hotel guests who want to sponsor an elephant can volunteer about $1,000 a month for the animal...
