Listen to this episode of The Times: Apple Podcasts Spotify Stitcher Google Podcasts In the late 1990s, a turf war between the Arellano-Felix and Sinaloa cartels in Tijuana led to mayhem and corruption. But as the cartel-fueled violence continued, residents in the city lived their lives. Sandra Dibble was a reporter for the San Diego Union-Tribune at the time, and she treated her visiting mom to handmade corn tortillas, Cafe de la olla, and eggs drenched in mole in Tijuana’s upscale neighborhood. She took her brother to Tijuana’s famous Mercado Miguel Hidalgo to buy tamales. And she got onstage to play a noblewoman in a Tijuana Opera performance of “Romeo and Juliet.” During the day, though, she reported on the mayhem.

Charlie Ergen is moving behind the scenes at the satellite-TV company he co-founded three decades ago, stepping down as president and chief executive of Dish Network to focus on integrating a string of acquisitions that include video-rental giant Blockbuster. Douglas County-based Dish said Monday that former Sirius Satellite Radio chairman and CEO Joe Clayton will succeed Ergen effective June 20. Ergen, 58, will remain chairman of Dish and sister company EchoStar, a maker of set-top boxes. Clayton, 61, said he will handle day-to-day operations while Ergen works on a grand strategy for Dish. The company is at a crossroads of sorts, facing sluggish subscriber growth and increased competition for pay-TV customers from telephone companies and online-based services. “Charlie’s never going to be disengaged, but he won’t be burdened by having to worry about the day-to-day,” Clayton said. “He has a bigger role to play now than he ever had.” In addition to Blockbuster, Ergen’s … [Read more...] about Dish president Ergen stepping down to strategize with acquisitions

With therapists in high demand and long waiting lists that make it challenging to find a provider, using a mental health app might seem like a tempting and relatively inexpensive way to get help. These apps claim to help with issues as varied as addiction, sleeplessness, anxiety and schizophrenia , often by using tools like games, therapy chatbots or mood-tracking diaries. But most are unregulated. Although some are considered useful and safe, others may have shaky (or nonexistent) privacy policies and a lack of high-quality research demonstrating that the apps live up to their marketing claims. Stephen Schueller, the executive director of One Mind PsyberGuide , a nonprofit project that reviews mental health apps, said the lack of regulation has created a “Wild West,” that was exacerbated when the Food and Drug Administration loosened its requirements for digital psychiatry products in 2020 . It is difficult to pinpoint the exact number of mental health apps … [Read more...] about How to Find a Mental Health App That Works for You

As educational institutions began reopening in full throttle after the COVID-19 onslaught, there was news of a Common University Entrance Test.

It is not that the pathetic and obsessive glorification of ‘toppers’ needs a top up. Still, our education policymakers often forget that the binary of a ‘yes’ and a ‘no’ is not an all-mighty sacrosanct truth. Discourses in the social sciences are often housed in between — in the much celebrated grey and ambiguous areas that are, literally and metaphorically, the liminal zones between ‘true’ and ‘false’. While information such as dates, facts or events can be placed within the binary of right or wrong, the role of a … [Read more...] about Social science operates with multiple truths
