Obituary of the Day: Yeltsin was like "a retarded nephew...
"Boris Yeltsin was always good for a laugh, which is probably why on the occasion of his death people outside of Russia are not calling him words like scum and monster, but instead recalling him fondly, with a smile, as one would a retarded nephew who could always be counted on to pull his pants down at Thanksgiving dinner."

NBA Player Caron Butler is addicted to chewing on straws
His wife, Andrea, told us that she is somewhat of an enabler; she'll stop off at McDonald's and pick up a handful of straws for her husband. Like, 60 straws. Daily. "And then if he goes on his own he gets some himself," she said. This, friends, is a full-fledged addiction.
Read on. His young daughter's now copying the habit.
Propranolol dulls memories
When humankind was young, this process offered a sociobiological evolutionary advantage: If Early Man got especially freaked out by a tiger attack, that hardwiring taught him to stay out of tiger country. However, tigers are no longer a pressing issue in Modern Man's life. Today, adrenaline more often makes Modern Man remember the events he'd most like to forget.
If a surplus of adrenaline makes us remember, it stands to reason that a deficit of adrenaline would help us forget. And this is what propranolol does. It inhibits the chemical rush that makes memories hyperconcrete. It doesn't erase memories, but it makes them more abstract and less painful.

North Dakota made it illegal to force people to insert microchips into their bodies.
The article explains:
Sen. Randy Christmann, R-Hazen, said he introduced the bill for a constituent knowledgeable about the subject.
Initially skeptical, Christmann found that at least one other state had taken similar action.
“Knowing how easy implantation of chips can be with livestock, it occurred to me that it is not out of the realm of possibility that someone in a position of power over someone else could coerce them into accepting a tracking device,” he explained.
Christmann cited domineering employers or abusive spouses as examples.
“I expected to get teased about this bill quite a bit but – to my surprise – I have received a lot of complimentary messages,” he said.
The law takes effect Aug. 1.

Photo: Author Will Self Covers A Wall With Ideas Written On Post-It Notes
This is from Sunday's LA Times:
I WRITE IDEAS, tropes, images, observations, snippets of dialogue, themes, factoids, descriptions on these Post-it notes and put them in relevant zones on the wall. Then I organize them into scrapbooks, then I turn them into books. Then I write more ideas, etc., on Post-it notes. And so it goes on: the auto-cannibalization of the fictive world. All creative artists fetishize their working methods — but it isn't ever nice to look at. At least I don't think so.
Will Self is the author of many novels, including "The Book of Dave," "Dorian, an Imitation" and "How the Dead Live."
