...study of self-injurious behavior and edited a book on the subject, Understanding Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (due March 2009), many do it for two broad reasons: to regulate their emotions and to communicate with others. "Self-injurers experience greater physiological arousal in response to stress, show poor ability to tolerate distress, and have greater deficits in social problem-solving skills," Nock explains, meaning that people self-injure to distract themselves from other emotional pain, to counter feelings of numbness or to let people know that they're suffering...
...Attitude." There are players with all three on the pitch, but Reid has a problem: the stadium's floodlighting is so patchy that he can barely make out the numbers on the shirts. That's par for the course in Thailand's shambolic and unpopular league, where facilities are poor, and players and officials often outnumber fans. The game ends 0-0, but Reid doesn't wait for the final whistle - he nips off early to watch a live broadcast of Manchester United playing Liverpool. Who can blame him?

The trick is to prioritize: I personally made the (in retrospect, probably poor) decision to skip my MCB 52 exam review in favor of decking the Quincy dhall for three hours. I may not completely understand exonucleases, but the tree looks pretty spiffy. Christmas season is my favorite time of year. Every time Jingle Bell Rock comes over the radio in the dhall...
...Analysis wing (R&AW), India's equivalent of the CIA. But operations by Pakistan-based terror groups inside India involve some overlap in responsibility with the IB. Coordination among India's more than 12 intelligence agencies, and between the intelligence establishment and other security services, has often been poor. "Take the case of the National Technical Research Organization, which was carved out of the R&AW," says Wilson John, senior fellow at the New Delhi-based think tank Observer Research Foundation and author of Karachi: A Terror Capital in the Making. "Despite being sister organizations, they are consumed by rivalries...
