"In good times, we reproduce. In bad times, we don't." This quote, from a recent Associated Press article, sums up new findings of a record-setting number of births that took place in the U.S. during 2007, even exceeding the post World War II baby boom.

Sometimes, a dream might make sense. However, 90 percent of the time, individuals wake up in a groggy-eyed stupor-trying to decipher the series of random events that occupied the last few hours of their sleep. Confusing and unpredictable as dreams are, most people are likely to believe that they don't mean anything-that dreams are just a purposeless jumble of thoughts and images stored away in the subconscious.
Soon finals will be over and it will be time to move out of the dorms, find that summer job and do something to occupy your time. So, what are your plans: barbequing, going to the Pier, lying out on the beach…reading a book? All you have to do to enjoy a book this summer is find the right one!

The human being is a creature of habits. And no matter what, it is hard for us to break out of that simple routine of the everyday. We are creatures of repetition; governed by the simple formulas that fill our day to day. Wake up, go to practice, breakfast, then class, take a nap, get some lunch, go to class, go to class, go to practice, get food, hang out, get food, do homework, go to sleep and do it all again.
Spending a night at a bar with friends can help to maintain social skills, but is spending the night drinking beneficial to one's health? A recent Japanese study found that moderate to light alcohol consumption along with high levels of social support was linked to lowering the rates of heart disease and stroke.
Media Credit: assets.hulu.com Dream Team/The Michael Scott Paper Company I cannot even begin to describe how much I loved these episodes, which were among some of the best I've ever seen, regardless being the best of the fifth season in my opinion. It's full of flashbacks, old faces, new puns, dynamic storytelling and the subtle "office" creativity that makes this show the best show in the history of television.
It is a story of a dysfunctional, but loving family. Sound familiar? It is a story line that most people can probably relate to.
