Olive oil, nuts tied to prostate-cancer survival

(NPR) ? Sometimes, it doesn?t take a major diet overhaul to get significant health benefits. Small changes can be helpful, too.

This seems to be the take-home message from a new study in JAMA Internal Medicine linking olive oil and nuts to improved survival from prostate cancer.

Researchers studied the fat intake of more than 4,500 men who had been diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer (this is cancer that?s still confined to the prostate gland and has not spread to another place in the body).

#65 NC State Wolfpack: College football 77 in 77

The NC State Wolfpack? More ACC college football? Yes, we usually have a whole lot of mid-majors, ACC and basketball schools ranked in the 60s and 70s every year. The NC State Wolfpack are usually down here in the 77 in 77 dregs with Syracuse, Virginia, Kentucky, Boston College, Duke, and Indiana. It?s often b-ball schools and ACC; or both.

NCSU has had some great basketball recruiting classes, but that they haven?t exactly performed like a ?basketball school? recently.

NC State Wolfpack reasons to get EXCITED ALL CAPS: They?ve been to three straight bowl games, and look like they might be a factor in the ACC Atlantic under new Coach Dave Doeren. He won with the NIU Huskies, and has a great track record. He also brought over his star Offensive Coordinator Matt Canada. The defense was at least passable, if not solid.

NC State Wolfpack reasons to get worried :( ? The run game pretty much engage in lordosis behavior for opposing defensive front sevens. There is a new signal caller to break in as well. He won?t be a Mike Glennon or Phillip Rivers type. Can Doeren and Canada game manage the uncertain and unstable QB situation?

The offense needs to learn how to run the ball and manage clock to keep that mediocre defense off the field. Only four starters return on both sides of the ball. The Pack are to ball control what Tim Beckman is to coaching too. 99th in the nation, 10th in the ACC in turnover margin.

NC State Wolfpack Key games: With Louisiana Tech and Richmond off the mat, they?ll be 2-0 out of the gates. Clemson in week three will be the right test. If they?re 3-1 going into Oct 5 vs Wake Forest, Syracuse the next, if they?re 5-1 heading to Florida State Oct 26th, we?ll see who?s for real or not.

NC State Wolfpack bottom line: They could be worse than their record indicates, but 5-7 to 7-5 is your scenario with a low tier bowl bid possible. They?ll pad their W-L by feasting off a weak ACC.

Lionel Richie: My own songs saved me

Celebs

Gael Fashingbauer Cooper TODAY

10 hours ago

NBC

Lionel Richie says his own songs helped him.

Many people have turned to music at sad times in their lives. Singer Lionel Richie is no different -- except the music he turned to was his own.

Richie told the U.K. Mirror that in the 1990s, he was going through a divorce and fighting depression

"Then a friend said to me: ?Lionel, I have some inspirational tapes I want you to listen to,'" Richie recalled to the newspaper. "He handed me my own songs with certain ones underlined and I started listening to my lyrics ? this time from the point of view of someone who needed that message.

?I used to look out into the audience and wonder why that guy was crying to one of my songs and now I get it -? it just hits something in your core," Richie said.

The singer also admitted that he wasn't always there for daughter Nicole when she was growing up. ?When Nicole was young I was trying to become Lionel Richie," the singer said. "I wasn?t there as much as I should have been. ... These days we are incredibly close and I am a very proud grandfather. She?s a wonderful mother.?

Richie will start his first U.S. tour in a decade this fall. "I have never had a job in my life," he told the Mirror. "This is still my hobby and I want to use the gift for good."

Polygamy groups ?thankful? for gay marriage decisions, likely to follow efforts in Canada seeking equal rights

The movement to legalize multi-partner marriage got a huge boost with this week?s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that the federal government must give benefits to same-sex married partners, according to advocates of polygamy.

?We polyamorists are grateful to our brothers and sisters for blazing the marriage equality trail,? Anita Wagner Illig told U.S. News and World Report.

Polygamy logo by Akrabbim via wikimedia commons

She works as an educator, activist and writer of a blog called Practical Polyamory.

?I would absolutely want to seek multi-partner marriage ? it would eliminate a common challenge polyamorists face when two are legally married and others in their group relationships aren?t part of that marriage,? she said.

She, like many critics of gay marriage, argued it?s a matter of equality ? the concept cited by the U.S. court in its decision.

?A favorable outcome for marriage equality is a favorable outcome for multi-partner marriage, because the opposition cannot argue lack of precedent for legalizing marriage for other forms of non-traditional relationships,? she said.

?If it was decriminalized, and you gave women and men the choice, you would create a much more healthy environment for both the community itself but also for the people living it,? Elisa Wall told FOX 13. ?Because people could come in and out if they chose to. More than anything, my personal belief is that creating that foundation for a healthy polygamous lifestyle is the only way we?re going to impact the youth. It?s the only way we?re going to protect them.?

Wall spoke in the interview discussing the movement that some of those who still live ? and believe ? in the principle of plural marriage insist decriminalization would allow people to freely report potential abuse without fear of the entire family being prosecuted.

Polyamorists in Canada, which is ahead of the United States by several years in expanding the definition of marriage, are demanding formal recognition.

The Canadian Polyamory Advocacy Association said this month it wants to see polyamoras relationships treated on the same legal footing as others.

From Chicago Now:

If polygamy were once again declared legal, think of the extended family support that it would provide to single women and children who cannot find either a member of the opposite sex or same sex to enter into a loving union with them.

Here are 5 good reasons to reinstate polygamy:

1. Provide food and shelter by private means

2. Allow the terminally single, men and women, to have some sort of lasting ?and legal union with benefits, no matter if not complete and whole.

3. To provide for the care of children, which can supplement the government?s burden.

4. To form close-knit and protective communities.

5. To provide for the sexual variety that many psychologists ?claim necessary to keep a marriage alive.

Fair is fair, and the time is now.

COLLISION:19
June 14 to July 28, 2013

Boston CyberArts Gallery
141 Green Street
Jamaica Plain, MA

COLLISION:19 includes twenty-two artists from eight countries around the world whose work lingers at the junction of art, technology and science. Some pieces, such as Elizabeth Fuller?s Schr?dinger, address our acceptance of scientific theories. Schr?dinger is an exercise in frustration: the closer you approach the piece, the more difficult it is to see the subject. Others are social experiments where technology is implemented to uncover something about human behavior. This can be seen in Lauren McCarthy?s Social Turkers: Crowdsourced Relationships where Amazon?s Mechanical Turk (a website where one can hire a person to perform jobs that computers aren?t able to accomplish) gets paid to watch and give feedback on romantic dates. Chosen from an international open call, COLLISION:19 exemplifies the diverse range of work produced by artists working under the influence of technology.

Jersey City, NJ

The Art of Science exhibition marks Princeton University?s 6th annual competition for images that explore the interplay between science and art. Both of these disciplines involve the pursuit of those moments of discovery when what is perceived suddenly becomes more than the sum of its parts. Each piece in this exhibition is, in its own way, a record of such a moment. These 44 extraordinary images are not art for art?s sake. Rather, they were produced during the course of scientific research. For those not able to make it to New Jersey to view the exhibition in person, the images and the science behind them can be viewed online.

Since 1999, Aldworth, an experimental print and film maker who combines digital photography and state of the art medical imagery in her work, has explored the depths of consciousness and the transience of self. Her persistent fascination with the physical brain has led to a new body of work which has evolved using techniques from the most traditional to the more radical, as shown in this exhibition. In Transience Aldworth explores the brain as matter and has made a suite of prints ? a historical first ? etching directly from human brain tissue.

Are college student hook-ups linked to anxiety and depression?

June 28, 2013 ? As narratives of "hook-up" culture take center stage in popular media, behavioral researchers are starting to ask what psychological consequences, if any, may be in store for young adults who engage in casual sex.

A new study in The Journal of Sex Research found higher levels of general anxiety, social anxiety, and depression among students who recently had casual sex. Entitled Risky Business: Is There an Association between Casual Sex and Mental Health among Emerging Adults?, the study surveyed over 3,900 heterosexual college students from across the United States about their casual sex behaviors and mental well-being. "Casual sex" was defined as having intercourse with a partner one has known for less than a week. Students from over 30 institutions around the country completed the online survey, making this the largest sample to be collected for a study on this topic. On average, 11% of students reported a casual sex encounter during the month prior to the survey, the majority of whom were men.

The study was led by Dr. Melina M. Bersamin of California State University, Sacramento. According to Dr. Bersamin, "It is premature to conclude that casual sexual encounters pose no harmful psychological risks for young adults." The results "suggest that among heterosexual college students, casual sex was negatively associated with well-being and positively associated with psychological distress."

The researchers also investigated the role of gender in determining mental distress linked to casual sex. Prior studies have found that women respond more negatively to casual sex than men, possibly because of double standards that allow men to have more sexual encounters with a greater number of partners than women. In this study, however, gender did not have an effect on outcomes.

"Risky Business" opens the door to future research questions about causal links between sexual behavior and mental health. Researchers have yet to determine whether casual sex leads to psychological distress, or if existing mental health problems cause young adults to engage in riskier behaviors.
