While anorexia can cause serious health problems including death, it isn’t always easy to recognize, even by the people who have the disorder themselves. Diagnostic tools exist to help determine if a person has anorexia, and aid in determining a treatment plan. Professional Screenings In non-emergency situations, the process of diagnosing anorexia usually begins with an initial overall assessment from a healthcare provider. During this assessment, the healthcare provider will take the person’s medical and psychiatric history, including their family history, and perform a full physical examination....

As the white father of an adopted black child, I was inspired to read the excerpt of Ellis Cose’s book (“12 Things You Must Know to Survive and Thrive in America”) in your Jan. 28 issue. He is a great thinker, out front on this issue, and I intend to read his book to my 9-year-old to show him that there are no limits to what he can be, regardless of his troubled history before he came into our family....

Another Classroom Shooting I read your cover story “Did Kayla Have to Die?” (U.S. Affairs, March 13) with total horror and disgust. It is a national disgrace that the world’s leading democracy should tolerate such outrages without enacting the necessary legislation to severely restrict and preferably ban all handguns outright. The British government, after two massacres (Hungerford, England, in 1987 and Dunblane, Scotland, in 1996), rose to the occasion by confiscating and/or restricting the types of weapons involved in these incidents....

What do you think is the latest to come out of Apple’s orchard? Well as a matter of surprise it is not the next iPhone or iPad it can be a iWatch. The tech industry is packed with rumours of Apple smart watch and if the Chinese blog Tech163.com is to be believed then Apple has tied up with Intel for its new venture. The most attractive feature of this watch is that it would be Bluetooth enabled....

But the leaker wasn’t Ray and the motive, as nearly as anyone could tell, wasn’t political. In fact, the story resulted from some quick work by an Associated Press reporter and a bit of indiscretion by a federal appellate judge, Richard D. Cudahy. Cudahy, who was appointed by Jimmy Carter, is a member of the three-judge panel that oversees Ray’s office. Last week the panel disclosed that it had voted–unanimously–to extend the life of Ray’s investigation for another year....

But when will progress come? The richest and most populous country in Black Africa has never managed to govern itself democratically for very long. Corruption is endemic; an every-man-for-himself attitude permeates society. A widespread sense of political helplessness makes military coups seem inevitable. Abacha is the sixth officer to seize power since 1966. “In 33 years of independence, we’ve had 23 years of these army people, and we’ve gone backward economically, socially and politically,” says Beko Ransome-Kuti, head of the Campaign for Democracy, an umbrella organization whose strikes and demonstrations have paralyzed Lagos several times since last spring....

Like Susan Smith, Zile fabricated a frightening tale to conceal an ugly crime – and like Smith, she exploited the news media in a desperate attempt to keep her secret. Zile played the role of grieving mother extremely well. She said she and Christina had planned a day at the beach. In her car, she had planted a bathing suit and a half-empty fruit-drink container to support the story. She brought a doll to her press conference and told reporters it was Christina’s favorite: police suspect she bought it as a prop....

The 49ers free-agent wide receiver will be signed at some point soon this offseason season, by the contender he wants and the contender that also wants him. But earlier this week, we got a poorer explanation of why he isn’t already signed, via MMQB.com’s Albert Breer. Now, the first part of this “slam” is Captain Obvious. Boldin is 35, which is, you know, old for an NFL player. The second part, however, is a bit cheap, because it lacks context....

One benefit for those who were hoping for Anthem 2.0 is that they finally know its outcome. Now it might be time for fans of the game to find another live service game. The Division 2 is there for those looking for another game with similar qualities. Now, Ubisoft’s title is a bit of a beacon for those who might not be Destiny 2 fans. Maybe they’re looking for something that wanders away from the science-fiction genre in general....

First reported by Kotaku, journeying into Anthem’s Fort Tarsis, a sort of base of operations for the player, will reveal holiday decorations strung up on the walls and snow steadily falling on the ground– leftover decorations and effects from Christmas. Now, it’s possible that Anthem’s version of Christmas is just a much bigger deal than it is in the real world, or it could just be a lack of support....

Anthony Smith claimed that he understands what it feels like to lose the biggest fight of your life having dropped the light heavyweight title shot to Jon Jones at UFC 235: The loss against Michael Chandler put Dan Hooker on a two fight losing skid inside the Octagon. Prior to the fight against Chandler, Hooker dropped a narrow decision loss to Dustin Poirier in a five-round classic back in July last year....

The graffiti was found on May 9 at Bates College, a liberal arts college in Lewiston, Maine. The graffiti, which was reportedly done with chalk, consisted of phrases such as “Stop ethnic cleansing,” “Free Palestine” and “Israel is killing innocent people,” according to pictures in a student organization’s Instagram post. Other graffiti not featured in the post but reported by campus officials included profanity aimed at Israel and Zionism, such as “F**k Zionist Israel” and “STFU Israel....

The protesters took to the streets as the state’s seven-day average number of cases reached 5,511 on Saturday, the highest level recorded since April 27 when the average count stood at 5,844, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University (JHU). One protester was seen pouring fuel over a pile of masks at Washington Square Park, in Manhattan, as onlookers shouted “no more masks, burn the masks,” according to video footage captured by local news site Freedomnews....

The video, posted to Reddit on Sunday, showed the man, who identified himself as Andre Duran, arguing and telling the store manager he was having trouble breathing while wearing a face mask. The store manager asked Duran to step outside and catch his breath, and when he refused, she threatened to call the police. “I have asked you to step outside and catch your breath,” the manager is heard saying as Duran walks away from her....

The province of East Java is cracking down on the wearing of face masks in a bid to stem the rise in coronavirus cases. Local media reports that the punishment was meted out in the Cerme district where its head, Suyono, hoped that digging graves would act as a deterrent to anyone else considering flouting the face mask rule. The Jakarta Post reported that Suyono was determined to force people to wear the masks and said: “There are only three available gravediggers at the moment so I thought I might as well put these people to work with them....

In one of the most talked about transfers of the season, Antoine Griezmann moved to Nou Camp after Barcelona paid the €120 million release clause to acquire the Frenchman’s services from Atletico Madrid. In the interview, Griezmann said, He also made his intentions for the season known by saying he wants to be a key figure for the club. He said, Griezmann has made 15 appearances for the Blaugrana this season, scored four goals and provided three assists....

He is still without a team for the 2022 NFL season. But that doesn’t mean that he has kept quiet. Instead, it’s been quite the opposite. Throughout the offseason, he frequently posted everything from controversial pictures in bed with a model to his latest music video. Brown has, seemingly, fully embraced his outlandish demeanor. His most-recent post on social media, however, just might be his most bizarre take yet. AB took to Twitter to compare himself to none other than Jesus Christ....

On Sunday morning, the new Patriots wide receiver liked a disturbing tweet about the 61-year-old Raiders general manager. ANTONIO BROWN TIMELINE:AB’s drama-filled summer, from intro to release WARNING: The blocked-out portion of the tweet Brown liked contains profanity and sensitive language. Below is the full tweet. Brown signed a one-year contract with the Patriots on Saturday hours after the Raiders cut him. When asked why Oakland released Brown following a series of issues with the wide receiver, coach Jon Gruden said, “We have just exhausted everything....

Caution: The embed below contains use of strong language How credible are Antonio Brown’s claims against the Buccaneers? Antonio Brown is not the most-liked player in the league for his actions on and off the field that have strayed from the bizarre to the cruel. So one may not believe his version of the story that caused him to storm out mid-game against the New York Jets. In fact, he has been accused by the Buccaneers of behaving inappropriately because he was not getting enough targets....
