...suffer severe forms of RLS need better remedies. Her experience with psychiatric treatment has been frustrating and often futile, and she says she isn't alone. Some of the earliest drugs used to treat RLS actually worsened the symptoms over time - a phenomenon known as "augmentation."

Tens of thousands of innocent civilians, primarily from the Acholi ethnic group, have died as a result of the brutal rebellion waged by the LRA in the north of this small east African nation; 1.7 million were uprooted to camps for displaced persons. The rebels have spread terror throughout northern Uganda by massacring and disfiguring civilians, regularly cutting off the noses and ears, cheeks and lips and eyelids of their victims. The group has also abducted an estimated 25,000 children to serve as soldiers, porters and sex slaves. In March...
...Republicans accuse the Democrats of overstepping the lines between the executive and legislative branches. Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday that such a scenario would result in "a mistake for the ages...
