...some level people have this secret longing: "Let's just give it up. What a mess we've made, and just by being alive, I'm part of that mess." We all have this footprint now, we've redefined original sin. But an even stronger part within all of us really wants to set things right and we want to be able to remain here. And that's what I want. The reason my book is resonating is because it's really frightening but really hopeful - it shows that life will go on and there's the potential for humans...
Being married somehow helps the body circumvent this mess, either by hushing the hypothalamus or reducing cortisol production. Coan and his colleagues conducted an experiment in which married women underwent brain scans using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). During the scans, the women were told they were going to receive a painful electric shock. The researchers then watched to see how the subjects' brains responded to the threat and found that among happily married women, hypothalamus activity declined sharply if husbands held their wives' hands during the experiment. Women who reported being less satisfied with their marriage--and women whose...

Delivered with...
...only good thing about the recent mess in Pakistan is that it kept a worse mess out of the news: Iran. But that was never going to last, and indeed it didn't. On Sunday, five armed naval units from Iran's Revolutionary Guards aggressively challenged three U.S. Navy ships passing into the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. There were no shots fired or damage caused, but no doubt this was an Iranian reminder to the United States that the Gulf is called the Persian Gulf for a reason. And the Iranians chose Hormuz, the only real egress...
