Ratner. Mr. Ratner, whose 22-acre development has been delayed for three years by a flurry of lawsuits, the collapse of the credit and real estate markets and a glut of luxury housing, plans to begin selling tax-free bonds next month to finance the development’s cornerstone project: an 18,000-seat basketball arena for the New Jersey Nets at the intersection of Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues near downtown. Given the high-profile nature of the would-be new tena...

Just like most psychiatric medications. But you won’t know unless you try, and your experience and success (or lack thereof) in psychotherapy will vary widely according to the therapist you see. You may see two that you don’t seem to click with before you find one that actually seems to help. You may see that perfect therapist the first therapist you find. You just don’t know. But like a car crash I can’t stop watching, I couldn’t help but read an entire recent blog entry from Violent Acres (NSFW), which is a blog that is often entertaining, although it is definitely not family-friendly with a lot of f— and s—- words and similar profanity lacing every entry. The entry in questi...

What do the quotation marks mean? If this is a quotation, who said it? And did he or she say only the part about contributing, not the part about mental illness? If so, who added the mental illness preamble?Or, are the quotation marks meant to indicate that this is a “dubious” or “so-called” sort of “fact”, that is not really “true” per se?As with so many of the mysteries of Green Acres, we “shall probably never know the meaning."
