...food, medical care and rehab be paid directly to the providers. You can create incentives, making your daughter's direct receipt of any money contingent on her passing regular drug tests. You might also provide more access to money after a specified period of being clean. Incentives, however, will tend to protect your money more than motivate your daughter, says David Crausman, a psychologist at the Waismann Institute in Beverly Hills, Calif., because addicts really recover only when they're ready. So none of this is foolproof. Still, as we know only too well, whatever our child...
Like their teenage counterparts, victims of midlife eating disorders tend to suffer from low self-esteem and perfectionism, according to those who treat them. But the triggers for their problem have a distinctly midlife flavor--divorce, an empty nest or the death of a spouse, parent or child. About half those affected are women who struggled with food-related issues in their youth. "This generation of women was brought up to be superwomen, and whether it's the supermom or the woman with the incredible job, both are expected to be beautiful," says Kearney-Cooke, a co-author of Change...

"Women with eating disorders are very good at taking care of everyone but themselves," says Grishkat...
...that doesn't mean everyone with a high calcium score is headed for a heart attack. For one thing, as we age, we tend to build up more plaque, and therefore more fat and calcium, in our arteries.

It also turns out that even two people of the same age with the same calcium scores don't necessarily have the same heart-disease risk. Like cholesterol, coronary calcium is only one of many risk factors that determine...
...long made alternative-fuel research and conservation national priorities. Meanwhile, electronics companies have been deeply interested in the power management of their devices and in silicon-based materials like computer chips?technologies at the heart of silicon solar-panel manufacturing. Unlike in other countries, where oil and gas companies tend to research solar energy, electronics companies here have no other energy divisions to worry about compromising. In Japan panel companies and the national government kick-started solar-power adoption with subsidies. A consumer who installs a solar-panel array on a house can sell surplus energy to the local utility...
