Neighbors Treating Neighbors For Depression And Alcoholism

"Alan Kazdin, a professor of psychology at Yale University, says the information gained from the studies should go beyond India. "The research is very clear," he says. "Effective treatment does not require professional degrees." The studies "should be used to change mental health care in the world and not be just elegant scientific demonstrations." The first place on Kazdin's list is the U.S., where many people with mental illness do not have access to care."

Obama: Romney called Russia our top geopolitical threat

""Gov. Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that al-Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaida. You said Russia ... the 1980s, they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War's been over for 20 years," Obama said." Personal political preferences aside, I'm giving this to Romney.

Are College Final Exams Disappearing?

It's time for the canned drama of finals weeks. The parking lots are full, students are using every available public computer, wearing pajamas, sleeping in the hallways and staggering about with jaw set, as if they are extras in a world ward II movie, headed off on a dangerous mission from which they will probably not return, all so they can take a test whose contents they won't remember in five years.
