Mel Gibson and the Ugly Face of Addiction
And they are grim. The simple truth is that alcohol results, over enough time, in death. But before it does, CT scans of heavy drinkers begin to show decreases in the actual mass of their brains. Once such large numbers of brain cells die, memory and some cognitive abilities such as multistep activity, complex task completion, and decision-making are all damaged. "The ongoing effect of heavy drinking is one of the most common causes of large numbers of brain cells dying," Dr. Seppala said. But the biggest problem is what alcohol does to the prefrontal cortex of the brain, the area responsible for judgment, decision-making, and impulse control. "Some of the crazy behaviors we see in the addicts—the repeated drunk driver, the illegal activity, the rage—can be caused by the damage to the prefrontal cortex," Seppala said. "The part of brain that would normally put a stop to that kind of behavior no longer functions properly. Worse, the person with the addiction doesn't even … [Read more...] about Mel Gibson and the Ugly Face of Addiction

“DSK Maid” Tells of Her Alleged Rape by Strauss-Kahn: Exclusive
In 2008 DSK admitted to an affair with a subordinate at the IMF. Speaking to investigators, he called it "a personal mistake and a business mistake." In July a young French journalist and novelist, Tristane Banon, filed charges against him in Paris for what she claims was an attempted rape in a Left Bank apartment where she went to interview him in 2003. She told fellow guests during a TV appearance in 2007 that he had come after her like "a chimpanzee in rut," and her account bears some similarities to Diallo's as she describes a man who seems to lose control completely when at the height of sexual desire. Banon's mother, Anne Mansouret, is an ambitious politician in her own right who is often identified with Strauss-Kahn's rivals in the French Socialist Party. She recently claimed that she herself had had consensual but "brutal" sex with him in 2000. Among DSK's acquaintances from Paris to Washington to New York, dinner-party conversation is rife with tales of close calls and wild … [Read more...] about “DSK Maid” Tells of Her Alleged Rape by Strauss-Kahn: Exclusive
Internet Shaming Could Change How Colleges Handle Sexual Assault
On November 8, 2015, when he learned that his sister said she'd been raped, Kenyon "became unfamiliar to me for the first time in my life," he wrote. It was no longer the safe space he'd thought it was. That feeling grew as the investigation moved forward and the system he trusted seemed to fail his sister. "Despite her documented injuries, a bed stained with her own blood, her sexual orientation and the combination of that much alcohol and prescription medication in her body, the college concluded—both initially and on appeal—that there was insufficient evidence," he wrote. "It feels as though we have both lost one of our oldest and closest friends." … [Read more...] about Internet Shaming Could Change How Colleges Handle Sexual Assault
