The Sexism of Harlotry

Kae Am

Many readers have undoubtedly heard about the Secret Service sex scandal in Cartagena, Columbia. After a night of drinking and lewdness, agents brought prostitutes to hotel Caribe and then refused to pay for their harlotry. There ensued a big disturbance in the hallway, and numerous people hurried to break up the disturbance between the agents and the prostitute. Dozens of officials have been implicated. David Chaney and Greg Stokes seem to have the main role in the altercation, followed by Arthur Huntington.

.I have wanted to write about this for several weeks now, but other things in life had beckoned me aside. Mainly, I wished to discuss the sexism about harlotry. The government decided that the solution to this problem is to provide ethics training for the Secret Service agents. The Secret Service needs specially-designed classes to teach them that women are human beings worthy and deserving of respect, never to be regarded as things for male pleasure.

Cosmo’s Rules of Sexting

by Lorna Gray

Sexting – not as fun as the real thing but pretty darn good all the same... if you do it right, that is. To minimize the cringe and up the pleasure, here are Cosmo’s top rules for guaranteed sextual happiness

Don’t drink and sext

As good as it is to be a little bit forward now and again, repeat after us, ‘Will I cringe when I see this in the morning?’ If the answer is yes, then step away from that phone.

Sending a sexy pic?

It goes without saying, but proceed with caution. (Even if you’re 100% sure they’re for his eyes only). Why not go with the ‘no face’ rule so you’re unidentifiable? Oh and remember to delete them. Like, straightaway.

Almost 1 in 3 in U.S. have sleepwalked: study

By Andrew M. Seaman | Reuters

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Although only a handful of people in the United States sleepwalk every year, a new study suggests close to one-third may do it at some point in their lives.

The study, published Monday in the journal Neurology, also suggests that other sleep disorders, severe depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) -- among other things -- are linked to an increased chance of sleepwalking.

Past research on sleepwalking was mostly based on studies conducted in a lab, according to the study's lead author, who told Reuters Health he wanted to know what was actually happening in people's homes.

"We did not know what was the prevalence of sleepwalking -- as a disorder -- in the general population and that was a big problem," said Dr. Maurice Ohayon, director of the Stanford Sleep Epidemiology Research Center in California.

To find out how many people were sleepwalking -- also known as nocturnal wandering -- at home, Ohayon and his fellow researchers from around the U.S. called about 16,000 adults in 15 states.

Liver disease deaths jump 25% in England: study

AFP Relax

Deaths from liver disease have risen 25 percent in England in less than a decade, mainly due to increased alcohol consumption, a study revealed on Thursday.

Alcohol-related liver disease in Britain, notorious for its binge-drinking culture, accounted for over a third (37 percent) of the deaths, according to the National End of Life Care Intelligence Network report.

Obesity, hepatitis B and hepatitis C have also boosted the rate of liver disease deaths between 2001 and 2009, the authors of the government-commissioned study said.

The steep increase in liver disease deaths comes as mortality rates from other major causes of death, such as cancer and heart disease, are falling.

"Liver disease is the only big killer on the rise," said Andrew Langford, chief executive of the British Liver Trust, adding that higher alcohol prices and taxes on high-fat foods could help save lives.

Some 90 percent of victims are aged under 70, the study said, and a rising number of those dying are in their forties. Three-fifths of the victims are men.

There are three times as many deaths from alcoholic liver diseases in the poorest areas of the country than in its richest, the study found.

Britain was named binge-drinking capital of Europe in a 2010 study of the European Union's 27 nations.

A survey by EU pollsters Eurobarometer found that while the British are not Europe's most regular drinkers, they drink the most in one sitting.

Excessive drinking costs Britain £2.7 billion ($4.3 billion, 3.2 billion euros) a year, according to government figures, and has been described by Prime Minister David Cameron as "one of the scandals of our society".

Cameron is reportedly expected to announce a consultation on introducing a minimum price per unit of alcohol in the next few days.
