Talk Therapy More Effective Long Term Treatment For SAD Than Light The
A study by a University of Vermont psychology professor shows that cognitive behavioral therapy is more effective in the long term than light therapy in combating Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). CBT shows patients how learned behaviors and ingrained negative thought patterns contribute to their symptoms. Sitting inactively in front of a light box for 1-2 hours a day, the study's author says, is not only impractical, it may actually contribute to the problem. SAD season typically begins around October 30th. Undergraduate Engineers Devise Basketball System For The Blind
Three engineering undergraduates -- two of them starters on the Johns Hopkins women's basketball team -- have designed and built a system that uses sound emitters in the ball and on the backboard to enable blind people to play basketball. Rants 'n' Raves: Solo Nuke Hunt

Scientists monitoring ocean heat and circulation in the Gulf of Mexico during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have a new understanding of how these tropical storms can gain intensity so quickly: The Gulf of Mexico's "Loop Current"is likely intensifying hurricanes that pass over eddies of warm water that spin off the main current.

Researchers at Stanford University have made new discoveries that shed light on two inherited neurodegenerative disorders that are caused by inability of the body to transport sialic acid out of cellular compartments. The findings focus on how different mutations in one transporter molecule can cause a wide spectrum of symptoms in Salla Disease and infantile sialic acid storage disease (ISSD). Why We May Feel Guilty
New research suggests that although it feels bad, guilt plays a critical role in promoting prosocial behavior. That worried feeling in our gut often serves as the impetus for our stab at redemption. However, psychologists have trouble agreeing on the function of this complex emotion. On one hand, the punitive feeling of guilt may keep you from repeating the same transgressive behavior in the future, which psychologists call "withdrawal motivation."Conversely, some researchers view the function of guilt in a societal context, in that; it keeps people's behavior in line with the moral standards of their community.
