http://news.com.com/2061-1026_3-5586161.html?tag=nl article about wingwomen.com - a place where you order women to accompany you to pick up other women seems like the idea is that a man that is already with women (who are attractive) are attractive to additional women Is that some kind of phycobiological stuff?  Are we all still stuck in high school? Sigh - is that what is really going on with adultery? 9:52:45 PM    comment [] You Have a Rx for That Vibrator?. Even Alabama admits that for some people, sexual aids are necessary to have a fulfilling sexual experience. Yet it continues to defend its laws prohibiting the marketing and sale of sex toys. What gives? Commentary by Regina Lynn. [Wired News] Alabama - got to love those backwards folks in spite of themselves since, uh, they don't seem much interested in self love. 2:21:08 PM    comment [] Kansas Prosecutor Demands Files on Late-Term Abortion Patients. Attorney General Phill Kline, a Republican, said that he needs the information to prosecute criminal cases. By By JODI WILGOREN. [NYT > Health] This is wrong in so many ways.  Even if a woman was raped and choose to have a late term abortion, she has the right to not accuse her rapist.  The state has no right to be looking into this on her behalf and of all the people in the world, an underage girl who was raped by a relative (most likely scenario) has been victimized enough with that and traumatized enough by having to experience a late term abortion.  This guy is just looking for reasons to prosecute abortionist.  He needs to get a LITTLE bit more subtle.  And, don't they have enough crime accusation coming in the front door in Kansas or don't they think they have any white collar criminals to prosecute to keep them busy?  If not, maybe the Kansasans could use some of their tax dollars back in their pockets! 1:59:47 PM    comment [] Poll: U.S. has conservative tack on innovation. U.S. technology executives identify innovation as essential to improving their competitiveness, yet their approach to innovation is conservative, mainly focusing on existing products and services, according to a study published Thursday by consulting company A.T. Kearney Inc. [InfoWorld: Top News] Reminds me of the conversation that Brad and I had about looking at the quadrant of response where you have no people identifying as being part of.  Instead of looking at what you have and how to make that better from a team perspective, it might make more sense to look at what is missing, what that costs you or what opportunities exist there. 1:08:26 PM    comment [] "Health" section of The Washington Post disturbed my consciousness and complacency. The essay emphasized that for a number of patients effective intervention (in addition to psychotherapy) involves a medication regimen that targets some combination of the three main neurotransmitters that affect the depressive mood state. The article likened the optimal functioning of Serotonin, Dopamine and Norepinephrine as creating psychic harmony among "The Three Tenors" – Lucianno Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and José Carreras. (I recall a friend, years back, insisting that my "Shrink Rap" singing – talk about an oxymoron – had dramatically improved on Prozac. ;-) The functions of these psychopharmacological tenors: 1) Serotonin targets anger and worry, 2) Dopamine stimulates initiative and pleasure and 3) Norepinephrine primes energy and alertness. from  a web site of a guy who calls himself the Stress Doctor 12:50:33 PM    comment []
