The American Psychology Association voted to finalize entries for the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders yesterday, ending the last of several commenting periods open to the public, so if you were hoping to send them any recommendations I hope yours got in under the wire. There hasn't been a new edition since the release of the DSM-IV in 1994, which may not seem that long ago, but consider that Adderall did not yet exist at the time and the A&E Channel was still years away from its hit "Watching People With Largely Untreated Mental Illness Suffer in Their Homes" series lineup.

South Park kicked off its 15th season tonight in an episode that combined four show staples: potty humor, political satire, parody and pondering the human condition. It was smart and timely, funny and outrageous. And it was a little depressing, too.

Attorneys for software developer and convicted murder Hans Reiser are now trying to convince a judge and jury that their client is "mentally incompetent," having portrayed what looked like attempts to cover up a crime as the misunderstanding of social cues. Their suggestion: Reiser has the mild form of autism known as Asperger's syndrome.

Sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday, July 9th. (Photo by AP/D. Ross Cameron)

"I'll give that kid a fucking disability he can write home about if he keeps sending these code amendments to everyone" was the name of the Facebook group that University of Michigan Student Assembly prez Zack Yost created out of frustration with the frequent amendments proposed by Rep.

But his legacy—fairly or unfairly—will likely be defined by the Facebook group," the Michigan Daily somberly intones.
