No, we're not talking about Nick Cannon. Is Mariah Carey four months pregnant with her first child? That's what the folks at Hollybaby.com are saying in an exclusive report. According to an insider, the diva and daddy Nick are expecting a baby boy this March.
Why has the Grammy winning singer kept quiet for so long? According to the source, "the reason she didn't want to say anything is because she is 40, and she's superstitious." Fertility drugs allegedly helped the couple conceive, causing Mariah's much-reported weight gain earlier this year. The insider went on to say that the she is expected to make an official announcement during her appearances on The View and Oprah, where she's promoting her upcoming Merry Christmas II You album.
Is this truth or just a ploy to get more people to watch Mariah on TV? Rumors have been circulating for months, and none have have been denied by the couple. In fact, they kinda sorta maybe possibly confirmed the pregnancy in August. After the Beyonce baby buzz proved premature last week, we can't help but feel a tad bit skeptical. But we'll keep our fingers crossed.

World Jewish Congress President Ronald Lauder congratulated Cardinal Jorge María Bergoglio, the archbishop of Buenos Aires, on his election as Pope Francis I on Wednesday.
"Pope Francis I is no stranger to us. In recent years he attended many inter-faith events co-organized by the WJC and our regional affiliate, the Latin American Jewish Congress," he wrote, adding he had met him in Buenos Aires in 2008.
Lauder praised the new pope as "an experienced man, someone who is known for his open-mindedness...a man of dialogue, a man who is able to build bridges with other faiths".
"We look forward to continuing the close relationship that has been fostered between the Catholic Church and the Jews over the past two decades."
After praising the work of Popes John Paul and Benedict for Catholic-Jewish relations, Lauder said:
"We are convinced that new pontiff will continue on this path, that he will speak out against all forms of anti-Semitism both within and without the Catholic Church, that he will take action against clerics who deny or belittle the Holocaust, and that he will strengthen the Vatican's relationship with Israel."

Gifted child, poor performance, low self esteem
My dh is a perfectionist. He'll procrastinate and can't be firm in decision making for fear of making a wrong choice. My Dh was the gifted one in school, not me or ds for now. However my dh and ds's perfectionism drive me nuts. I'm a mover and shaker and make firm decisions. II don't care if I fail. I bounce back if I do and point out to Ds all the time that it's okay to make mistakes and no one is perfect.
DD is similar, although not as bad. She has a perception that everyone else is smarter than her, even when she can clearly see her math paper is harder, has more right answers, or that she is reading a chapter book and her friend is reading Biscuit. She was worse with younger and thankfully goes to a school that really helps her with this in that they are non competitive and very encouraging, while maintaining high standards.
What does his teacher say? Have you consulted about this with your pediatrician? It sounds as though it is to a level where you should, and perhaps visit a child psych for advice and play therapy.
Often gifted kids are so aware at a young age but do not have the emotional maturity to handle such things.
Mom to a fabulous 7 year old!
He is very smart. I know his potential. He is failing fourth grade though. He has always been hyper, can't sit still, needs constant stimulation. It's just until now, in fourth grade, that he's not making an effort because he's not understanding and retaining the info taught. The last few years he was in private school and the teacher was able to facilitate his needs. Now back in public school with 38 kids in his class, he's overwhelmed and uninterested, new curriculum and the teacher can't just focus just on him. So he's giving up.
I contacted the school and conveyed my concerns and we set up an SST meeting with the teacher, psych and principal to discuss possible solutions and observations.
My son is very smart! Though he only puts effort in activities that interest him ie video games, because he's good at it and feels successful at them. As for schoolwork and the responsibilities behind them, he doesn't give a hoot!
Hopefully we'll come to some conclusion at the school level. If not, we'll have to go farther and talk to a child psychologist.
I'd get him into see a counselor. My neighbor's child was like this and she benefited greatly from seeing a professional weekly.
Some ideas:
1) Make a conscious effort to NOT compliment his smarts, but compliment his efforts instead. There have been several research studies on this. Bascially, constantly telling the kid that he is so smart or talented makes them think it should be easy. Constantly complimenting the effort "Wow, I can see you put a lot of work in that!" makes the child want to put more effort. Google "compliment childs effort not smart" to get further research such as http://healthfinder.gov/News/Article.aspx?id=673377
2) Put him in situations where he is likely to fail. We do this particularly with sports or physical activities. My son is naturally a If-it-takes-effort-it's-not-worth-the-effort kinda guy. Academics are easy, so he loves all that. But learning to swim & learning to ride a bike without training wheels was hard. So was learning to roller skate, dribbling a basketball, learning to dive, etc.
We gave him no choice on the swimming or riding a bike without training wheels. These were going to happen. He fought us. As soon as he was able to ride like the wind w/o those training wheels, he was thrilled! It was an immediate reward. So, we use that as an example "What if you never tried? Think about how much you love your bike!" He became a confident swimmer last summer at 7 yrs old. He loves swimming with the boys at the pool. I often used this as an example of the reward of effort. Just think what he'd be missing if he didn't put in the effort!
I want both my kids to play basketball. (I have my reasons, mostly our lousy winters.) I put him in a league at 6 yrs. He wasn't a competent dribbler until this year, at 8 yrs of age. He couldn't sink a basket until the last practice of the last game his first year. I had to really negotiate to get him to play a 2nd yr. (I promised a league with a bunch of friends from his school. He's very social.) The 2nd year he loved practice, but the games were to stressful for him. He'd treat the ball like a hot-potato. I had to sit him down & explain that it's okay to shoot the ball and miss. The league didn't even keep score! I pointed out examples of boys he knew were better, but rarely got a basket. I told him that 7 yr olds are supposed to miss the basket. We had a long discussion about the importance of trying & the lack of importance in scoring. (Again, this league didn't score!) After that discussion, whenever he got the ball, he wouldn't pass it. Momma wanted him to shoot. He was going to shoot! I was so proud of his effort! Only in the 3rd year of playing basketball has he actually made a basket during a game! AND he loves the games just as much as the practice! Woo-hoo! (He is still one of the weakest on the team, but that is irrelevant.)
Summary: Make sure he knows how much you prize effort. In fact, stop telling him he's smart. Such praise will gain you nothing. He is already smart. He's not going to get any smarter by your praise. But your praise can direct him toward effort.
Use fun things to teach him failure is okay. Failure has it's benefits, too.
OH! (me again) one more thing.
Chores & punishments.
Make sure he is doing chores. This is another avenue to praise effort. Obviously a 5 yr old is going to do a poor job sweeping the floor or cleaning the bathroom sink or setting the table. Again, the process of learning is important. If he refuses to do these things in a timely manner because he won't do it right, use a kitchen timer.
Punishments? At 5 yrs of age, a child can connect the behavior to a consequence up to a day away. This allows more complicated punishments. Some punishments require effort. Here are some of my favorites.
- Writing sentences - We started my son on writing "I will not..." sentences in kindergarten. I wrote a model sentence that he had to copy once per year of age. (Much more at 8 yrs old, now) He hated to write. He was bad at it. So it was a great deterent to the behavior. It was great practice for handwriting skills. It was a great way to impede it in the memory. PLUS it taught him to JUST DO IT.
The first time I did it, he literally sat for 2 hours & looked out the window. I set a timer for 20 minutes to write 1 sentence. When the timer went off & no sentence, he went for a time out. Another 20 minutes, another timeout. He had 3 timeouts before he did the deed.
After that, I immediately set the timer when he had to write sentences. It never went off without the sentences written. He is now in 3rd grade. I believe this one task has taught him a great work ethic. He has learn to JUST DO IT and get on with his day.
2) Extra chores -- Again a punishment that requires that he has to DO something teaches JUST DO IT.
3) Miscellaneous tasks--We've made him tie his shoes so many times for sassing me. Granted it wasn't remotely related, but he wasn't willing to learn to tie his shoes. So we made it a punishment. Then, wa-la, he knew how to tie his shoes!
Thanks for the great tips! I second the not complimenting smarts and praising efforts! We have been focusing on this and have his teacher doing the same.... It can be hard though because he gets it a lot from strangers, which makes doing so poorly in school and struggling so much harder, he feels like his is supposed to be smart snd its not. Supposed to be so hard.... Poor little guy. Makes me sad... Just gotta keep on encouraging and hoping he can start to believe in himself enough to take more risks.

The European Joint Aviation Authorities medical committee has agreed that there is "no medical reason" why airline pilots should not be permitted to continue flying until they reach 70 years of age.
The finding has been revealed as an International Civil Aviation Organisation resolution permitting pilots to fly to age 65 was implemented last week.
Speaking at Flight International's Crew Management Conference in Brussels last week, aviation medical consultant Dr Ian Perry said that the JAA medical committee has agreed that a fit 70-year-old should not be prevented from commanding a commercial air transport aircraft on medical grounds.
At the conference, the chairman of the Singapore Civil Aviation Medical Board, Dr Jarnail Singh, who also chaired the ultra-long-range task force and is a member of the Flight Safety Foundation crew alertness committee, said that in examinations of factors affecting crew fitness to work on ultra-long-range flights - such as Singapore-New York non-stop - pilot age was determined not to be an issue.
Perry, meanwhile, said that while airlines find clinical diagnosis of chronic fatigue "difficult to accept", if an accident is fatigue-related the airline is responsible for it. While making it clear that such events were rare, he revealed that the reduced freedom of movement imposed on long-haul pilots by the need to lock cockpit doors has resulted in flightcrew sleeping on the floor behind the pilot seats.
The US Federal Aviation Administration has set up a forum to investigate if US commercial pilots should be allowed to fly past the age of 60, in line with the new ICAO rules.
ICAO has increased the upper age limit for pilots to 65, provided that one of the pilots in the cockpit is under 60. Medical experts and FAA personnel will be joined by representatives from airlines and pilot unions in the Age 60 Aviation Rulemaking Committee to examine whether the USA should follow suit.

What did Scott Walker do this week? (10/18/14)
Scott Walker had a terrific week.
Sept. unemployment rate down to 5.5% - the lowest since Oct. 2008.
8,400 new private sector jobs last month. Best September for private sector jobs in more than a decade.
Closing balance for fiscal year on 6/30/2010: $71 million. On 6/30/2014: $516.9 million.
$85.5 Million More in Aid to Schools: The Department of Public Instruction announced on Wednesday that state aid to local schools will increase by $85.5 million this year. Just over half of all school districts will receive more in state aid than they did last year.
The governor called for a travel ban in response to Ebola.
In Green Bay, Governor Walker joined local partners to formally unveil the Bay Link Manufacturing lab at Green Bay West High School. The lab is part of a dual-enrollment program designed to give students experiences and skills that local employers are seeking, all while gaining both high school and college credit. Students in the program work with private manufacturing partners to design high-tech systems and complete projects in industrial welding, machine fabrication, and metals.
"The manufacturing industry is growing and thriving in Wisconsin, and there is no better time than during Manufacturing Month to highlight the Bay Link Manufacturing learning lab and recognize the partnerships between the Green Bay Area Public School District, Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, and the NEW Manufacturing Alliance," said Governor Walker. "Programs and facilities like Bay Link Manufacturing prepare students for entering the workforce by providing real-world training making them attractive to employers throughout Wisconsin and teaches them skills that they can take with them throughout their career."
The governor joined 95 soldiers from WI National Guard's 950th Engineer Co. for their deployment in Superior.
Governor Walker and Tonette did the Lung Walk at the Milwaukee County Zoo in memory of her dad Tony & in honor of her Aunt Esther.
In Wisconsin Rapids, the governor appeared at the Final Roll Call ceremony at the WI Firefighters Memorial.
And he wished Tonnette a Happy Sweetest Day.
Finally, to repeat, Scott Walker AND WISCONSIN had a terrific week.

I am goal oriented, ambitious and positive and I like to keep people around me who are the same. Life is too short to sweat small stuff and whatever isn't meant to be can't be forced. I am in a great place in my life and I give thanks to God for it all!! I refuse to settle and thats what keeps me succcesful. I'm constantly on the go between working, the gym, my family and my friends and I love it!! I have an awesome sense of humor, which is what keeps me SANE!!

I am super versatile and eclectic. I can adapt in any environment, from hanging with my brothers and riding motorcycles, to getting glamed up to go to a Gala for work.

I boxed for two years and now I do weight training and cardio which is a WHOLE different world!! I like having fitness goals, so I sign up for different 5K runs/obstacle courses. I guess I am kind of old school in that I like a man who knows what he wants and knows how to get it. I have three older brothers and 15 Nieces and Nephews so I am family oriented. I studied abroad for a summer in Spain for a month and traveled a lot. I have been to Spain, Italy, France and Jamaica so far but I love traveling and want to continue in the very near future. I am serious when it comes to work and maintaining, but I am also very very serious about enjoying my life and having a good time!!

Two Seattle Shows coming up!
July 25th at Studio Current (1/2 block S from Neumo's) Tickets here: http://m.bpt.me/event/779623
And again Aug 1st at Hollow Earth Radio with iji, marvelous good fortune, and guinness waller!
Many members of the Seattle Experimental Animation Team have work in SIFF this year – either as directors or contributing animators. Check them out:
Tess Martin (director/animator): Mario
Mario is Tess' latest short film and first that uses paint on glass combined with marker on glass techniques. It is based on an Italian folk song that she grew up singing in her elementary school in Tuscany. Dating back to World War I, the song tells the dark tale of a soldier who returns home to find his girlfriend has left him.
Mario is screening on May 24 at 9:30PM as part of the Animation4Adults program.
Clyde Petersen (animator): My Last Year With the Nuns
Seattle writer-director Bret Fetzer's debut feature is the story of local monologist Matt Smith as a young teenager, exploring the nooks and crannies of the heavily Catholic Capitol Hill neighborhood in an era of racial tensions.
My Last Year With the Nuns is playing on May 21 at 6:30PM and May 26 at 11AM.
Sihanouk Mariona & Chris Rodgers (co-directors/animators): Super Dads
Super Dads is one of four animated films in Seattle University's new Film & Family Homelessness Project, funded by a grant from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Sihanouk worked closely with his Wonderful Lizard animation partner, Chris Rodgers, to create this film. He uses a kaleidoscope of real stories to create an overarching storyline. With the help of Seattle University partners at Mary's Place and YWCA, Sihanouk found three dads willing to share their stories. Sihanouk and Chris are using stop motion animation with clay, which is both time and labor intensive. They are excited to be working alongside sound design professionals, explaining that it's a luxury for a lot of independent animation artists.
"I believe that a gripping story joined with engaging visuals can go a great long way to help us relate to each other, understand that no one is immune from circumstance and inspire action."
Super Dads is screening in the American Refugees program on Mon, May 19, 7PM, Harvard Exit Theater. However, this screening is already sold out. Join them virtually at 7 p.m., May 19, for the online premiere at www.americanrefugees.org. Still want to see it live? SIFF will release unclaimed tickets shortly before the show to those standing in line. Facebook event.
Neely Goniodsky (director/animator): The Smiths
Goniodsky's story, The Smiths, showcases the cycle of a family falling into homelessness and how they can move out of it if a compassionate, supportive community and resources are in place. Goniodsky's animation style is a mixture of hand drawn animation, digital cut outs and painting. She does all of it herself. "Compassion and understanding through empathy and members of a supportive community can reinforce feelings of dignity and self-worth in families who have lost everything," she said.
The Smiths is also screening in the American Refugees program on Mon, May 19, 7PM, Harvard Exit Theater. However, this screening is already sold out. Join them virtually at 7 p.m., May 19, for the online premiere at www.americanrefugees.org. Still want to see it live? SIFF will release unclaimed tickets shortly before the show to those standing in line. Facebook event.
Drew Christie (Co-director/animator): The Beast Inside
Co-directed with Amy Enser, this story illustrates the viewpoint of a teenager in a homeless family, highlighting the difficulties of both being a teen and being homeless. Christie used hand-drawn animation to illustrate the story, using a muted warm color palette.
"I see animation as a tool to communicate complex ideas in a non-threatening way. I believe family homelessness is a tragic issue that must be dealt with in a sensitive way," Christie said.
The Beast Inside is also screening in the American Refugees program on Mon, May 19, 7PM, Harvard Exit Theater. However, this screening is already sold out. Join them virtually at 7 p.m., May 19, for the online premiere at www.americanrefugees.org. Still want to see it live? SIFF will release unclaimed tickets shortly before the show to those standing in line. Facebook event.
Drew Christie (animator): Song of the New Earth
Directed by Seattle filmmaker Ward Serrill (The Heart of the Game) follows Tom Kenyon's quest to integrate modern science and ancient mysticism through sound. The scientist and shaman has a four-octave vocal range, and a dazzlingly unique view of the world.
Song of the New Earth screens on May 16 at 7PM and May 17 at 3:30PM.
Drew Christie (animator): Oil & Water
Two teenagers, David and Hugo, meet by chance on a canoe ride in the Amazon. This documentary follows their lives as David begins a fair-trade certification system for oil production companies to help with the oil-waste problem in the Ecuadorian Amazon, while Hugo gets an American education that will allow him to return to his homelands as a leader.
Oil & Water screens on June 3 at 7PM and June 4 at 4:15PM.
Here are the animations from last month's SEAT show at Gallery 4Culture…
Come down to Gallery 4Culture to experience SEAT & SPIN, the latest in group work from the Seattle Experimental Animation Team. Three giant zoetropes built by Webster Crowell fill the room with mystery and shadows. Inside, you will find 12 short films by local animators.
The show is up through March 2014. Pack a lunch, bring your kids. It's all-ages and you can touch all the art. Enjoy!
Gallery 4Culture
101 Prefontaine Pl S
Seattle, WA 98104
Time Farmers, a screening of experimental animations is happening this Saturday at 8pm at Studio Current (1/2 block S of Neumo's)
This'll be the very exciting premiere of
Lord I : The Records Keeper by Lori Damiano
(Artist in attendance)
Tix: http://m.bpt.me/event/565535
The Seattle Experimental Animation Team will be opening a show at the Gallery4Culture on Thursday, March 6, 2014, and it will then be open the rest of the month. SEAT & Spin will feature Zoetropes, early cameraless animation toys, with loops designed by SEAT animators.
The opening will coincide with Pioneer Square's First Thursday Art Walk, so come on by and check it out!
And here is the awesome flier designed by animator Stefan Gruber.
Tess Martin will be visiting Seattle in February (having relocated to The Netherlands last August for studies) and she will present a new work in progress alongside SEAT founder Stefan Gruber, who will be presenting some scenes from Both Worlds II. They will be asking for feedback from the audience.
Come on by! It's free! NW Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave, Tues, Feb 11th, 6PM.
Here is the Facebook event.
The Strange Creatures program, which features 10 animated short films from members of the Seattle Experimental Animation Team, was listed on the Seattle Weekly's Best of 2013:
"Loosely concerning the interaction between humans and animals, Strange Creatures offered a charming collection of local independent animation from S.E.A.T. (the Seattle Experimental Animation Team) at Northwest Film Forum in August. Watching hilarious shorts about beer-guzzling and weed-smoking (drawn frame by frame by Clyde Petersen), Tess Martin's marker-on-glass animation about cats, and Drew Christie's tradigitally animated philosophical dialogues between humans and whales made me swell with pride about the state of Seattle animation."
Thanks Kelton Sears! What a nice holiday gift!
Catch six films by SEAT animators at this year's Children's Film Festival at the NW Film Forum, Jan 23-Feb 2, 2014.
The 'Paint Me A Story' program on Jan 25, 31 and Feb 1 will feature Stefan Gruber's excellent Edible Rocks and Tess Martin's The Whale Story (as well as the mind blowing Noodle Fish by Kim Jin Man from South Korea. All three of these I know can definitely be enjoyed by adults as well as children, more reason to attend!)
The 'Earthwise' program on Jan 25 and Feb 2 will feature Drew Christie's excellent Song of the Spindle as well as Tess Martin's A Walk in the Woods.
The 'Take Wing' program on Jan 26 and Feb 2 will feature Tess Martin's Snowball, previously seen in Seattle at the Short Run Small Press Fest.
The 'Talk to the Animals' program on Jan 31 and Feb 1 will feature Tess Martin's sand animation Hula Hoop (alongside the excellent Hungarian short Rabbit and Deer by Peter Vacz which comes highly recommended).
Also make sure to catch the special Lotte Reiniger animated silhouette films playing with a live score on opening night!
The Seattle Experimental Animation Team presents Bloodbath & Beyond: The Little Shop of Animated Horrors. This SEAT collective film, based on the 1960 film The Little Shop of Horrors retells the classic tale of a plant that came from outer space and got a taste for blood.
For this collective film, SEAT split the original film into sections and approached the project in the classic style of the game "exquisite corpse." Each animator took a 9 minute segment of the film and condensed it into 1 or 2 minutes of animation.
This film will be screening in an installation, in the lobby of the Film Forum, during opening night of Local Sightings. Do you dare to stick your head inside the Audrey 2 and enjoy the sights!?

Whew, could they get any hotter?
Beyoncé and husband Jay Z packed on the PDA while appearing together at their concert at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Friday night, July 11. The rapper and producer couldn't keep his hands off his wife as she was singing—not that she seemed to be complaining!
The two, parents to daughter Blue Ivy, are known for their sexy performances and wowed (and shocked) viewers around the world with their duet of "Drunk in Love" at the 2014 Grammys in February. They are set to perform at MetLife Stadium again on Saturday night and then head to Atlanta on July 15 for the next show during their On The Run tour.
PHOTOS: Blue Ivy, Beyoncé and Jay Z's cutest family photos
Several celebrities were spotted at the concert, watching from the D'USSE VIP Riser and Lounge. The list included singer John Legend and wife and model Chrissy Teigen director Spike Lee, rapper Busta Rhymes, model and actor Tyson Beckford, singer Adrienne Bailon, New York Yankees baseball player CC Sabathia and New York Giants NFL star Victor Cruz.

Breaking up is hard to do. If drugs could ease the pain, when should we use them, asks neuro-ethicist Brian D. Earp
For your research, how do you define love?
We tend to think of love as a phenomenon grounded in ancient neurochemical systems that evolved for our ancestors' reproductive needs. There is more to our experience of love than brain chemistry, of course, but those brain-level phenomena play a central role.
The idea of love as a drug is a cliché, but does it have any characteristics of addiction?
Recent brain studies show extensive parallels between the effects of certain addictive drugs and experiences of being in love. Both activate the brain's reward system, can overwhelm us so that we forget about other things and can inspire withdrawal when they are no longer available. It seems it isn't just a cliché that love is like a drug: in terms of effects on the brain, they may be neurochemically equivalent.
You have written about the possibility of using "anti-love biotechnology" as a treatment. When would it be warranted?
The idea of treating someone for an addiction to a bad relationship is something to be very cautious about. So we end up stacking the cards in favour of autonomy – the voluntary use of any "anti-love" intervention.
You can imagine a situation in which a person's experience of love is so profoundly harmful, yet so irresistible, that it undermines their ability to think rationally for themselves. In a case of domestic abuse, that can be life-threatening. But even then, we wouldn't recommend forcing drug-based treatment on someone against their will: non-biochemical interventions should be tried first.
So when would this type of treatment be ideal?
Some people in dangerous relationships know they need to get out, and even want to, but are unable to break their emotional attachment. If, for example, a woman in an abusive relationship could access medication that would help her break ties with her abuser, then, assuming it was safe and effective, we think she could be justified in taking it.
How might an anti-love drug work?
The science here is very new, so we don't yet have a complete answer, but there are several possibilities – some based on side effects of drugs already on the market (see "How to fix a broken heart").
If we develop anti-love drugs, should anyone going through a break-up have access?
It is important to be careful about making broad recommendations. There are some people who are so devastated for such a long time after a break-up that they can't move on. Part of this might be depression, for which we already have many treatments.
But of course there are lots of ways to get over someone, including strategies that have been tried for centuries. Creating physical distance and not spending time with the person is a good start. A modern trick is to stop looking at the person's Facebook photos.
But if other ways have failed, and anti-love drugs could help to alleviate suffering and prepare a person to move on with life, there could be good reasons for using them.
Isn't there danger in medicalising potentially valuable emotions?
One concern about medicalisation is that people will turn too quickly to a drug to solve their problems, preventing them from dealing with the real source of their suffering. If I get out of a bad relationship, maybe I need to reflect on what happened, not pop a pill so I can rush into a new relationship.
Do you foresee other ethical problems?
Another worry is that drug companies might start to tell us we have relationship "diseases" so they can sell us drugs we don't need. They do this now with female sexual dysfunction to create a market for a female Viagra.
But part of the problem is that we live in a society that tells us we have to be sick to gain access to medicine to get better. What if a drug simply helps improve well-being? If a drug could help a person who is still heartbroken a year after a break-up, there could be a moral argument for its use – whether we want to call that a medical problem or just real life.
Do you know if anyone is already using anti-love drugs, unofficially?
In Israel, some ultra-Orthodox Jews have prescribed antidepressants to young yeshiva students to reduce libido, using the side effect of the drug as its main purpose. It is unclear whether the students were coerced, or requested it to manage feelings of shame. Either way, it is a troubling development.
Do you worry that the idea of love addiction as a treatable medical problem could be hijacked for things like gay conversion therapy?
That is a huge concern. But I have to distinguish between coercive use on minors and voluntary use by adults. For minors, it should be impermissible, and even illegal. For adults, it's harder. In principle, people should be free to decide for themselves. But in some places, the pressure of anti-gay bigotry makes it unlikely that individuals would be truly acting autonomously.
Has viewing love as an addiction changed your own ideas about romance?
Studying how love has related to marriage over the course of history had a bigger effect on me than my understanding of the actual neurochemistry. In our society, we take it for granted that marriage should be based on love but, until recently, it was predominately an economic and political institution.
And this new way of doing things is not all bunnies and roses. The brain systems that undergird feelings of love and attachment are actually quite fragile. They didn't evolve to sustain exclusive relationships over decades, but to promote reproductive success. This huge disconnect should inspire some soul-searching for our society. We need to think critically about how to reconcile our ideals about love and our underlying brain chemistry.
How should we rethink our notions of love?
When there is a disconnect between your biology and your values, some people change their values: many people are exploring non-traditional arrangements such as open relationships or serial monogamy.
But it will be different for different people. For those who have decided that they value a life-long, monogamous relationship, maybe the strategy should be to manage their psychobiology instead – using drugs that enhance attraction rather than diminish it. Maybe sometimes we don't need a cure for love – we need to give it a helping hand.

Life in the service is full of adventure where the routine can become exciting and excitement becomes routine, and people are rarely what they first appear to be.
~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
"Unidentified civilian freighter, this is the Federation Police Cutter
. I say again, lower your shields and stand by for a boarding party. We wish to make a health and safety inspection." Lieutenant Commander Thomas Isenberg pressed a button on the arm of his command chair to turn off the transmitter. "They're not listening, Chief, let's give them a love-tap."
"Aye, sir. Targeting one phaser. Range one hundred and sixty thousand kilometers and closing," Senior Chief Petty Officer Roger Guzman responded from the Operations console. It was normally an officer's duty station, but as the Chief of the Boat with nearly twenty-two years of experience, Guzman was more qualified than any commissioned officer in the squadron. He looked over at the helmsman -- oh how glad he was Star Fleet had finally decided to drop that stupid 'helms-woman' title, "Don't run over their wake, Ensign. They might have laid an egg."
"An egg?" She gave him a quizzical look. "What are you talking about, Chief?"
"A mine, Stephanie," Isenberg explained, "A transporter bomb rolled out the shuttle hatch. Not as big as a nuclear space mine, but it'll still rock your world."
"Ah. I see." She turned to look at the ship's captain, still puzzled. "This is a civilian trader ship. If memory serves, they don't carry such weaponry."
Isenberg suppressed a little chuckle. "They're pirates, Stephanie, smugglers and thieves. Do you really expect them to play by the rulebook?"
"Ah. Valid point." She made a minor adjustment to the Cutter's course. Isenberg noted, not for the first time, her lack of using 'sir' when addressing superior officers. Ensign Tillman's a good troop, though lacking in proper military bearing. The commander filed that away to deal with later.
Chief Guzman noticed the absence of protocol as well, but he wondered if he had earned enough of the commander's trust yet to talk to him about it. Isenberg had assumed command only a month ago, and although it was his first official command, he seemed comfortable enough already. He might not be the best skipper the chief had ever served under, but he'd do okay in the long run. Still, it might be too early to broach such a delicate subject with him.
"Any reply, Chief?"
"Negative, sir. But sensor replay analysis confirms they did squirt off a microburst transmission right after we made contact. Range now one-fifty; phaser crew standing by for your order, sir."
"Tag him."
They heard and felt the whine of the Number Two phaser as its lethal energy reached across the void to wash across the tramp freighter's aft shield. At point-blank range, it could have ripped most of the shield away; at this range, it barely dented it. Still, it was more than enough to get the crew's attention.
"They're charging weapons, sir."
Isenberg opened the channel again, "This is the Cutter
. Strike your colors and prepare to be boarded. We can outrun you and outgun you. Chief, max load to the photon torpedo." He closed the channel again, intentionally waiting until after he ordered the cutter's primary weapon charged. He wanted the freighter's captain to hear that he was fully prepared for combat, if needed.
"Bridge; Science Officer here. I'm reading on an asteroid field up ahead. Volume is approximately one point six cubic light-seconds, density class-eight. There's very little iron or other heavy metal, but I'm showing concentrations of aluminum, titanium and magnesium."
"Acknowledged, Ben. Isenberg out. If he goes in there, Chief, we'll never dig him out."
"Aye, sir. I've been in worse. Although, with all that titanium ore, it'd be near impossible to keep a lock on his hull. Might even give Shimmer some pause." Memories from half a lifetime ago flooded the chief's thoughts of his love-hate relationship with then-Petty Officer Third Class Sahani, possibly the best sensor tech ever to wear a Star Fleet uniform. Many a pirate accused her of being a witch; some of her crewmates had a rhyming-word to describe her. Chief Guzman recollected the longest five hours of his life when, as helmsman on the
J. Wilson
and as green as the ensign beside him now, he piloted that Cutter through a class-eleven asteroid field. In a nerve-racking game of cat-and-mouse, they hunted down a Privateer-class convoy raider. Were it not for Sarisha Sahani playing the cat, that mouse would have gotten away.
He didn't want to lose this one, either. "We're closing range at thirty thousand per minute ... make it four minutes to intercept, and six minutes thirty to the field. Not a problem, sir, we'll get him," the chief declared with satisfaction. "I just hope he doesn't have friends waiting for him inside."
Isenberg considered this for a moment. "Let's hope we don't find out the hard way. Give him a double-tap, Chief." He opened the channel again. "Civilian freighter, this is your last warning. We know you're smuggling at least two hundred kilos of zap. I have no qualms about blowing drug runners out of the sky. Your choice." He saw a shocked look on Ensign Tillman's face: obviously, she didn't play poker. Yet another thing he'd have to correct.
"Phasers ready, sir."
"Fire." Again, they heard and felt a whine of phaser fire, then another a half-second later.
"They're slowing, sir. Weapons are off line. Slowing ... slowing ... full stop. They've dropped forward and starboard shields. Guess they don't trust us enough to drop the facing shield." The chief grinned.
"Bring us to twenty thousand kilometers off their port quarter, Stephanie. Stand by on the tractor beams, just in case they try to bolt. And keep an eye on the asteroid field; I don't want any surprise visitors. Sergeant McKendrey, are your Marines ready to go?"
"Ooh-rah!" The Marine posted by the door snapped from parade-rest to the position of attention. "They were born ready, sir!" Isenberg ran a hand over his face to hide the grimace. Jarheads. For better or for worse, they'll never change.
"So what are you waiting for, Sergeant? You're leading this team. Get over there and find that contraband."
If that surprised the Marine, it never showed on his face. Isenberg knew his predecessor required an officer lead all boarding parties. "Aye aye, sir!" McKendrey executed a parade-field perfect about-face and marched off the bridge.
The commander shook his head as watched the Marine NCO depart. His attention turned back to the main view screen, as they were now close enough for a visual of the freighter. Wide and squat, it was designed for rough landings onto planets without modern spaceports. He recalled the specifications and layout: eighty-two meters bow to stern, including the twin fifteen-meter warp drive units extending aft, fifty meters abeam and ten meters top to bottom. The bow was a blunt curve designed for atmospheric entry, and save for the main propulsion nacelles, the ship was devoid of wings, fins or other major protrusions.
Internally, the forward two-thirds consisted of three decks of living areas and other ship functions. The forward cargo bay on the lower deck was a customizable fifteen by twenty-five meter space that could be converted to passenger quarters, troop barracks or facilities for specialized missions. During his last year of Star Fleet Academy, then-Midshipman Isenberg served on just such a ship configured for ore processing and assaying searching for new dilithium sources. The aft third of the ship, split into two over-height decks, was dedicated to cargo storage, the shuttle bay and engineering. In total, the ship had over seventy-five hundred cubic-meters of cargo room, if packed to the rafters, though a typical load only required three- to four-thousand cubic-meters.
"Incoming message, sir," Chief Guzman said. "Priority Two, encryption level gamma, from Star Base Thirteen. And the freighter is hailing us."
"Decode it. Put him on main viewer." A moment later, the image of space dissolved and was replaced by that of a strikingly beautiful woman with an olive complexion, jet-black hair and deep brown eyes. She did not look happy.
"I am Madre Rosalina Chavez del la Casa Serena-Domingo, of the Free Trader
Santa Maria
. You are?" Isenberg knew this wasn't the
Santa Maria
; he already had the ship identified as the
, which Star Fleet Intelligence knew to be wholly owned and operated by the Daven Cartel, one of a dozen crime syndicates operating throughout known space.
"As I announced in our first two hails, Madre," he was polite enough to use her proper title, even if it might not be hers to rightfully claim, "I am Lieutenant Commander Thomas Isenberg of the Federation Patrol Cutter
. Please stand by to receive a health and safety inspection team."
She frowned, which did not detract from her beauty. "Health and safety inspection," she said dryly. "So you lied when you said you believe we're carrying drugs. I am surprised at you, Commander. I had thought such deceitfulness was beneath the police."
"Of course it is," he smiled at her. God, she was beautiful. Just his luck she was on the opposite side of the law. "But I didn't lie to you. We have information that a shipment, including a dozen crates of rare artwork stolen from the historical museum and enough zap for an army of addicts, left Cygnus six days ago on a ship just like yours, right down to the noisy impulse drive."
"I may be many things, Commander, but I am not a thief." She was seething. "And I am certainly not a drug runner! You're more than welcome to come over here and look for yourself. I'll accept red wine or chocolate with your apology.
Santa Maria
out," and with that, the connection closed. Thomas Isenberg told himself he just had to meet this woman.
"She's dropped her shields, sir." Well, her ship's shields were down, Chief Guzman thought, but her shields were firmly in place. Which was more than he could say for his skipper. "Looks like two people on the bridge, three in engineering, and nineteen on the lower deck, in the forward cargo hold. That message is decrypted and on your display."
"Very well. I've got it." Isenberg pressed a button, "Sergeant, you may beam over whenever you're ready."
Over the speaker, they heard the Marine reply, "Aye aye, sir, energizing now. Semper Fi!" followed immediately by the whirl of the transporter in action.
"I should have known they'd be standing on the pads," the commander said to no one in particular. He quickly read the message, then read it again to make sure he understood it right. "They have got to be kidding! Open a secure channel to Sergeant McKendrey."

It's pretty clear who the cast of Saturday Night Live wants for president. Senator Hillary Clinton. Saturday's new show started with a skit parodying the most recent Democratic debate.
Amy Poehler played Hillary and Fred Armison played a very funny Barack Obama. In the skit, they tried to portray that Hill is asked more difficult questions than Obama. After the skit, the real Hillary appeared on screen with an editorial response.
Watch the clip right here. Seems like Hill's doing just fine in NY, but needs a little help in a few other states, and isn't afraid to let everyone know!

When events happen that make it seem as if there is no order, I find it encouraging to watch the creative design of God, even in small details.
Recently I found some beautiful pictures that depict God's creativity and attention to detail. (I got these from https://www.flickr.com/photos/cymaii/ )
"For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible…."
…And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." (The Bible, Colossians 1:16,17)
These water splash photographs are by Heinz Maier. (also from https://www.flickr.com/photos/cymaii/).
His macro photography catches in stop action the physics principles which God has established. If God watches over butterflies and water splashes with such skill and detail, can I not — must I not– entrust my situation to Him? Would I really want to seize control and take things into my own hands, when I have a God who does this continually?
I do not always see the beauty of His work. Sometimes it is marred by sin and sickness. But I choose to believe, as do we as a family, that God is good and mighty good.
Along this line, I wrote in a similar vein in speaking of fractals.

Network modernization is becoming a priority for defense agencies—and for good reason. Much of our defense network infrastructure was conceived 20 years ago and put into place almost a decade ago.

"Retrieval in a French Station" option does not show. Why?
I'm trying to buy a ticket from Paris to Carcassone in september. When I the cheapest non-refundable option the method for retrival that I want to use does not appear. I want to use "Retrieval in a French station" but I do not see it. I only see: Delivery free by post Collection from an Automatic Ticket Machine But I cannot use either since i live in US and my credit card does not have a chip to use the machine. I notice if I pick a more expensive fare then it shows up. .but I wonder why? At this point Im tempted to "Collection from Automatic Machine" and I'm guessing if i go to the ticke window, I could still get my ticket. Can anybody tell me what is happening or you have been to a similar situation? thanks
