High-quality marriages are the best stress-busters for women

A new study has found that all women need to lower their stress levels is a strong and happy marriage.

A team of researchers led by James A. Coan, a University of Virginia neuroscientist has found that women under threat who hold their husbands' hands show signs of immediate relief, which can clearly be seen on their brain scans.

Coan, an assistant professor in the U.Va. Neuroscience Graduate Program and the Department of Psychology, and his team conducted a study involving several couples who rated themselves as highly satisfied with their marriages.

The researchers designed a functional MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) study in which 16 married women were subjected to the threat of a very mild electric shock while they by turns held their husband's hand, the hand of a stranger (male) or no hand at all.

They found that the MRI was able to show how these women's brains responded to this handholding while in a threatening situation.

The researchers noted a large decrease in the brain response to threat as a function of spouse handholding, and a limited decrease in this response as a function of stranger handholding.

Moreover, spouse handholding effects varied as a function of marital quality, with women in the very highest quality marriages benefiting from a very powerful decrease in threat-related brain activity.

"This is the first study of the neurological reactions to human touch in a threatening situation." said Dr. Coan.

The study is published in the December 2006 issue of the journal Psychological Science.

Sexual intercourse on the International Space Station doesn't allow

Commanders do not allow sexual intercourse on the International Space Station, it has been disclosed.


"We are a group of professionals," said Alan Poindexter, a NASA commander, during a visit to Tokyo, when asked about the consequences if astronauts boldly went where no others have been.


"We treat each other with respect and we have a great working relationship. Personal relationships are not ... an issue," said a serious-faced Mr Poindexter. "We don't have them and we won't."


Mr Poindexter and his six crew members, including the first Japanese mother in space Naoko Yamazaki, were in Tokyo to talk about their two-week resupply mission to the International Space Station.


The April voyage broke new ground by putting four women in orbit for the first time, with three female crew joining one woman already on the station.


Sexual intercourse in space may appear out of bounds, but astronauts have been known to succumb to earthly passions.


In 2007 former NASA astronaut Lisa Marie Nowak allegedly wore adult diapers when driving hundreds of miles across the United States without bathroom breaks to confront a suspected rival in a romance with a fellow astronaut.

Jeremy London and Rachel Uchitel Head to 'Rehab'

For a while there, Dr. Drew Pinsky was having some trouble finding enough celebs to rehabilitate on his VH1 show 'Celebrity Rehab.' No more. Rachel Uchitel, the most prominent of Tiger Woods' mistresses, and uber-troubled actor Jeremy London have been booked to appear on the show's upcoming fourth season, the network announced on Sunday.

Uchitel, a 35-year-old "infamous party planner" (VH1's words, not ours), will be treated not for sex addiction like her former lover, but for pills. What kind of pills is unknown.

London, of 'Party of Five' and 'Mallrats' fame, will enter Pinsky's world of rehab presumably for assorted substance abuses. According to TMZ, his wife Melissa is also seeking treatment. While Uchitel's inclusion is a bit of a surprise, London's is not. He has been in the spotlight since a bizarre incident last month where he claims to have been kidnapped by a group of men and forced by gunpoint to go on a 12-hour meth and ectasy binge.

Other participants in his go-round of 'Rehab' include a lot of "formers," as in former model Janice Dickinson, former teen idol Leif Garrett and former 'The Hills' star Jason Wahler.

This sorry lot will undergo 21 grueling and filmed days of detox at the Pasadena Recovery Center, run by Pinsky. Episodes will air later this year. VH1 has long been struggling to nail down enough troubled stars to generate a worthwhile season of the hit series.

Sci-fi thriller “Inception” raked in $60.4 million over the weekend to lead the North American box office

Sci-fi thriller “Inception” raked in $60.4 million over the weekend to lead the North American box office.

The film was directed by Christopher Nolan, also known for his directorial efforts in “The Dark Knight” and “Memento,” and stars Leonardo diCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe and Cillian Murphy. It is getting rave reviews from critics and has earned an 84% favorable rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Animated feature “Despicable Me” took the second spot with $32.7 million. It features the voices of “The Office” star Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Jason Segel. It is also receiving lots of positive feedback from critics.

Buena Vista’s “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” took the third spot with $17.4 million, another disappointing finish from producer Jerry Bruckheimer. His last film was “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” and it performed below expectations as well.

Rounding up the top 5 were “Eclipse,” which earned $13.5 million and “Toy Story 3,” which earned $11.7 million.
