The Catholic Church hierarchy lost most of its moral authority over
the decades it protected child rapists. How many priests and bishops
have been excommunicated? Can Bernard Law still take communion?

And here I thought they had already blown it with the Spanish Inquisition,
torturing Galileo, enslaving native Americans and massacres in the

Amazing how "moral authority" can bounce back.

I suspect he sees the looks first. Everything else is secondary. I
just have a problem with her condesending ways and personality I
guess.....not to mention she is the worst cook on the Food Network,
her recipes suck.

Hey, blame Ferdinand and Isabella. They were the ones who wanted to
make sure that the new Christian converts were not lapsing back into
Judaism. Their goal was a Jew-free country. The trials of the
Inquisition were meant to determine who was a true Christian, and who
was faking it. The civil government carried out all executions.

Why would a "child rapist" be excommunicated? Raping children is a sin
but it is not heresy.

Name three "native Americans" who wer enslaved by the Roman Catholic

Roman Catholic Church.

If you're going to criticize the Church, criticize it for things that it

The OP's topic is a hierarch demanding that priests refuse Cuomo
communion because he's living with a woman without benefit of clergy.
That's also a sin but certainly no heresy.

Probably why she doesn't want to get married.
She's probably got a lot more money than he does,
and she knows what can happen in a divorce.

I think what's getting lost here is the fact that Sanda Lee looks hot for
her age and is probably an animal in bed. The fact that she's a popular
celebrity also adds to her political and sexual appeal to a dyed-in-the-wool
politician like Cuomo. She doesn't appear to be all that smart, but she's
blessed with a kind of venal cunning, and that makes her smarter than Cuomo.

You really think that all of that is insufficiently obvious to the most
casual observer that it needs to be mentioned?

One suspects that the real problem that this "Edward Peters" character
has with the situation is that he's never gotten into anything a
hundredth as good and he's jealous.

I just thought it was more interesting than nitpicking the historical

Of course the Vatican would call it "public concubinage," since the
woman must be considered the property of, or at least the junior
partner to the man. Altar boys are like that too, with their smooth
buttocks and soft, newly sprouted pubic hair. How can the priests
resist their charms?

Most priests are probably perfectly decent people, but it seems the
higher up
in the hierarchy one looks, the more detestable they get. Of course
most priests aren't
pedophiles, and pedophilia is a mental disorder that most folks who
have it probably don't
act on, just like most other socially inappropriate desires. Those
who actually molest are
morally flawed. The church authorities who conspire to cover up
molestation are worse
than the molesters, in that the former don't have the mental illness
that tempts the latter.
They are analogous to someone who murders for profit instead of in a
"moment of passion."

Personally. I hate the Roman Catholic Church for their policies on
procreation. They'd
rather see a child born, then die a horrible death from starvation,
than to see women (and
men) use contraception. People who reject Malthusianism are foolish,
and institutions
that do so are evil.

I don't know what British dentistry is like these days. I only know
that when I arrived in the States I found that US dentistry was way
ahead of its British counterpart. I hope to goodness it has vastly
improved.

You're correct - many people neglected their teeth because of fear of
the drill. No six-month checkups. No emphasis placed on
orthodontics, either. So, people often waited until severe pain drove
them to the dentist; consequently the offending tooth/teeth needed to
be extracted. I've often wondered whether things are better. I
sincerely hope so. Maybe someone in the UK can update me.

Every time I go to Louisiana for a disaster, I'm always SHOCKED by the
condition of teeth there. Far too many people with missing or decayed
teeth... I have no idea how people can afford smokes and drinks, and far
too much food if their asses are any indication, yet can't be bothered
to take care of their teeth. Ewwwwwwwwwwww.

People in Louisiana are POOR! The folks here in this rural depressed
area of NY have lousy teeth too, they can't afford dentistry. And
they can't afford those luxuries you mentioned... farming is hard
physical labor, I don't see any fat assed farmers... but I see lots of
fat assed dentists.

Dentistry is EXPENSIVE! Blame the ADA. Dentists charge outrageous
prices for what are essentially simple procedures and typically (by
intimidation) do more than what is needed in order to pad their fee,
and can get away with it because even the relatively few who can
afford dental insurance, its coverage is a joke... there is no reason
a simple crown should cost $1,000... a cleaning, x-rays, and exam
should not cost $300.... and no way should an implant cost $5,000+.
Dental insurance covers only a very small portion of those expenses..
and dental insurance is expensive, few ordinary working folks can
afford it. And let's not even talk Orthodontics. As far as I'm
concerned dentistry should fall under Medical Insurance. I don't see
Dentistry as any different medical care from Dermatology, Rhumatology,
Proctology, Neurology, Cardioligy, etc. Medical insurance should
encompass all forms of dentistry, as well as all optical care... why
are mouths and eyes treated separately from gastrology... I don't get
it. Fortunately I can afford to pay my dentist but more and more
whenever I pay the bill I feel like I just had my pocket picked, and
Dr. Schwartz ain't even Eyetalian. LOL

The following news release is being issued February 28, 2011, by the
U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Binge Eaters' Dopamine Levels Spike at Sight, Smell of Food

Evidence that brain's reward/motivation circuits are linked to
compulsive overeating

UPTON, NY - A brain imaging study at the U.S. Department of Energy's
(DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory reveals a subtle difference
between ordinary obese subjects and those who compulsively overeat, or
binge: In binge eaters but not ordinary obese subjects, the mere sight
or smell of favorite foods triggers a spike in dopamine - a brain
chemical linked to reward and motivation. The findings - published
online on February 24, 2011, in the journal Obesity - suggest that
this dopamine spike may play a role in triggering compulsive
overeating.

"These results identify dopamine neurotransmission, which primes the
brain to seek reward, as being of relevance to the neurobiology of
binge eating disorder," said study lead author Gene-Jack Wang, a
physician at Brookhaven Lab and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
Previous studies conducted by Wang's team have identified a similar
dopamine spike in drug-addicted individuals when they were shown
images of people taking drugs, as well as other neurochemical
similarities between drug addiction and obesity, including a role for
dopamine in triggering desire for drugs and/or food.

"In earlier studies of normal-weight healthy people who had been
food-deprived for 16 hours, we found that dopamine releases were
significantly correlated with self-reports of hunger and desire for
food. These results provided evidence of a conditioned-cue response to
food," Wang said.

In the current study, the researchers suspected that binge-eating
obese subjects would show stronger conditioned responses to food
stimuli when compared with non-binging obese subjects.

"Understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying food
stimulation might point us toward new ways to help individuals
regulate their abnormal eating behaviors," Wang said.

The scientists studied 10 obese people with a clinical diagnosis of
binge eating disorder, based on evaluations at St. Luke's-Roosevelt
Hospital, and 8 obese subjects who were not binge eaters.

The scientists used positron emission tomography (PET) to scan the
subjects' brains after injecting a radiotracer designed to bind to
dopamine receptors in the brain. Because the tracer competes with the
brain's natural dopamine to bind to these receptors, the signal picked
up by the PET scanner provides an inverse measure of the brain's
dopamine levels: a strong signal from the bound tracer indicates low
levels of natural brain dopamine; a low signal from the tracer
indicates high levels of dopamine in the brain.

Each subject was scanned four times on two different days to test the
effects of food stimulation vs. neutral stimulation with and without
pre-administration of a drug known to amplify dopamine signals. The
drug, methylphenidate, blocks the reuptake of dopamine from brain
synapses, allowing it to linger longer. In scans without
methylphenidate, subjects were given a placebo drug.

In the food stimulation condition, research subjects' favorite foods
were heated (if appropriate) and waved in front of their mouths and
noses so they could smell and even taste tiny amounts swabbed onto
their tongues. For the neutral stimulation scans, researchers
displayed non-food-related pictures and inanimate objects such as toys
and clothing items in close proximity so research subjects could smell
them while lying in the scanner. In all cases, research subjects had
been fasting for 16 hours prior to scans.

Results
Food stimulation with methylphenidate significantly increased dopamine
levels in the caudate and putamen regions of the brain in binge eaters
but not in the non-binge eaters. Subjects with the most severe binge
eating disorder, as assessed by psychological evaluations, had the
highest dopamine levels in the caudate.

Dopamine levels did not rise significantly in other brain regions or
under any other condition (neutral stimulation with or without
methylphenidate, or food stimulation without methylphenidate) in
either group, and were not correlated with body mass index of the
research subjects. Assessments of the levels of receptors for dopamine
also did not differ between the two groups.

"So the key difference we found between binge eaters and non-binge
eating obese subjects was a fairly subtle elevation of dopamine levels
in the caudate in the binge eaters in response to food stimulation,"
Wang said.

"This dopamine response is in a different part of the brain from what
we've observed in studies of drug addiction, which found dopamine
spikes in the brain's reward center in response to drug-associated
cues. The caudate, in contrast, is believed to be involved in
reinforcement of action potentially leading to reward, but not in
processing of the reward per se. That means this response effectively
primes the brain to seek the reward, which is also observed in
drug-addicted subjects," Wang said.

Inasmuch as binge eating is not exclusively found in obese
individuals, the scientists believe further studies are warranted to
assess the neurobiological factors that may differentiate obese and
non-obese binge eaters.

This study was funded by the National Institutes of Health through the
Intramural Program of the National Institute on Alcoholism and Alcohol
Abuse and the General Clinical Research Center of Stony Brook
University, using infrastructure supported at Brookhaven Lab by DOE's
Office of Science.

I suspect there is something environmental. When I lived in Florida,
Virginia, and Louisiana, I never went to the dentist without his having
to fix something. When I moved to Connecticut the dentist took some
time fixing a bunch of damage but I have seldom needed repairs since
that were not related to prior damage.

I'm prepared to have my head handed to me, but someone from
the UK once told me that there are not enough dentists in the system
so the waits are long, unless you want to pay to see a dentist.

Oh we have to pay to see the dentist! I suppose that would put some people
off but I haven't seen many bad teeth for a very long time now so they must
be managing

Of course you don't see many bad teeth... most folks in the UK don't
have any of their own teeth after age 25.
