I take it personally. The woman with cancer also has asthma. The man with arthritis also has erectile dysfunction. I feel bad for them! Last night the quest by an actor to find work got ridiculous for me as my wife, Esther, and I were watching one of our favorite shows, “Criminal Minds,” on CBS. It was a particularly violent episode where a Bonnie and Clyde-type couple shot their way across Montana and proved to be the sickest of cold blooded killers. As the story develops, both the young man and the young woman were abused as children and their plan becomes to mete out retribution to the parents who ruined their lives. Late in t...

Men produce 1500 sperm every second, and depending on the environment surrounding them, they can be fast or slow.  (This is quite independent of how fast or slow a guy gets to orgasm!) We have always known that nutrition is important to health, but we underestimated how important vitamins and minerals are to the speed of sperm and enhancing reproductive success. In sperm and sex, most men start out pretty fast but peeter out quickly.  Sperm ejaculated in the vagina may last a week, but outside the body survives only a few hours.  Average time to ejaculation during intercourse – 2 -3 minutes!  All in all, this is a sprint race to say the least!

Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female is equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out,” said author Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist. So, since Shayla’s chest is over 7 sizes larger than a D cup,  you can get get a 3 1/2 workout by looking at her bust for just ten minutes!

Other than the tremor that leads to the diagnosis, there may not be any other symptoms or difficulties at first. So, they continue to lead their lives as well as they can for as long as they can. This included continuing to drive. Of course, most people who feel physically unable to drive will stop, but sometimes the loss of the ability isn’t as obvious, even to the most careful of people. Actor Michael J. Fox, arguably the most famous person in North America with Parkinson’s has done a lot to raise its profile among the general public. The tremors are the most well known part of Parkinson’s, but the disease affects other parts of the body as well. Other effects may be: ...

At first the death the considered a suicide, since Carradine was found dead with a cord around his neck and hanging from a closet bar. But now that additional details have surfaced about his death, the family is asking for the FBI to help get some answers. Carradine died in Thailand while working on a movie. This complicates matters in that it has been difficult to get the exact details of what happened. A maid apparently found the actor with a “rope tied around his neck and one around his genitals.” “It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not, or he died of suffocation or heart failure,” said police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha.” I can certainl...

An Experiment” in 13 Lewis & Clark L. Rev. 279 (2009). Here’s the abstract. * * * This Article examines patterns in bankruptcy filing data to determine whether this data supports the simplistic Rational Actor model that is the basis for Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA). The Article closely reviews the Rational Actor and Situationist models–the current debate about human behavior in bankruptcy context. Analysis of empirical data of pre-BAPCPA, post- BAPCPA, and current filings demonstrate that while BAPCPA reduced the number of filings nationally, unexplained variation in filing patterns exist. These findings sugge...

From the lesser-appointed corners of academia, psychologists, sociologists and a youthful breed of economists scoff at the revered mathematical models that have driven economic thought and snared Nobel Prizes. These preachers of “behavioral economics,” including some on President-elect Barack Obama’s economic team, argue that humans cannot be relied upon to obey the efficient, orderly tenets espoused by free-market thinkers. Chief among the old-school rules is the assumption that we act rationally with money. “That’s a...

Today’s Port Clinton News notes that both films are to be about autism, bullying and the emotional issues that children face. Brown (who can be contacted by email) is looking for an autistic child to play the autistic child, if he can. Would this be one of the few times or even the first to have someone autistic play…..someone autistic, in a film that’s not a documentary?

Though it has been widely reported that the actor is getting set to write a book about how to beat depression without any drugs, his publicist tells PageSix.com exclusively that it’s just not true. “There is no deal with a publisher in place, and he’s not actually writing a book,” she said. “That is not in the plans for the immediate future.” We think celebrities like Mr. Carrey can bring a lot of helpful attention to concerns like depression, and hope that if he ever does want to...

Psychology is interested in the study, observation and explanations for individual human behavior. It’s not about studying mice in labs anymore (although that’s still done, mostly in undergraduate psychology classes) so much as it is about studying real people in pseudo-real situations to better understand how and why people act, think or feel in the ways that they do. Sometimes that research results in unintended offspring, such as the U.S. television show, Deal or No Deal. Hosted by Canadian comedian and actor Howie Mandel, the show revolves around a single contestant who has to make a simple risk aversion choice — choose to keep an unknown amount of money the contestant hold...
