...picture. There's a new kind of pressure that enters the picture and you're no longer in the position you were when you were working uphill and so much against the grain. I think around the time that came, Sydney became more interested in being in total control and being more of a producer. I think that's sort of where he went. And I went in a slightly different direction. I went more in the world of independent films. But we still stayed close and our families grew up together. We shared a lot of time together...
...kids have been getting heavier over the past three decades. But a new study published in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) shows some evidence that the childhood obesity "epidemic" may finally be leveling off. Researchers led by Cynthia Ogden of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) analyzed survey data gathered between 1999 and 2006, and found that the prevalence of overweight and obesity among American schoolchildren has plateaued at about 32%. After years of rapid increase - the percentage of 6- to 11-year-olds classified as obese rose from...

Without its own military force, the U.N. depends on troop contributors from 119 countries, which as of January 2008 deployed more than 80,000 blue-helmeted troops in international peacekeeping operations.

Now, if we think antidepressants work best coupled with other therapy, then to provide them over the counter, you're decoupling them from [an important part of the treatment...
...which sounds great - we clean up the environment, control global warming and create an entirely new sector of employment while we're at it. Academics have released lots of studies trumpeting the potential for green jobs - one report by the RAND Corporation and University of Tennessee found that if 25% of all American energy were produced from renewable sources by 2025, we would generate at least 5 million new green jobs. But there are just a few questions: what is green-collar? What makes it different from blue- or white-collar? And where will those jobs come from...
