Kris Jenner's talk show canceled
According to a report by Radar Online, Kris Jenner's talk show has been canceled due poor ratings
From Radaronline.com
Kris Jenner has been told by FOX executives that her six-week trial run at being a talk show host will be just that - it’s not coming back for a second run.
Kim K's mother was recently told, “There is no chance the talk show is going to get a green light from FOX. The ratings were averaging an abysmal 0.8 and advertisers were less than enthusiastic about it.”
“Kris did get a ratings bump for her last show when Kanye West revealed the first baby pic of daughter, North West, with Kim, but that was a one time shot in the arm and it wouldn’t be indicative of what the ratings trend would be,” the source close to the production told RadarOnline.com.
“It’s a very crowded market and Kris didn’t do anything to set herself apart from the field. Believe it or not, most of America doesn’t want to hear about the Kardashian’s for an hour everyday,” the source revealed.

Blood Flow in Humans
Compared with men, women have faster blood flow to their brains and lose
less brain tissue as they age.
Women have been found to have faster blood flow to the brain than men do,
which might help reduce the effects of aging on cognition. Men tend to lose
brain tissue at a faster rate as they age, which might make them more
susceptible to age-related cognition effects, such as impulsiveness and
memory loss. The decrease of brain tissue in men generally occurs in the
left frontal cortex, the area of the brain primarily responsible for
thinking through consequences and self-control. It starts around the age of
45 and is thought to contribute to men having more severe cases of midlife
crises than women do.
Multi-Tasking as a Skill
People who think they're good at multitasking usually are the worst at it,
research shows.
The ability to multitask effectively might vary depending on personality
type and the ability to focus. Research has found that people who test high
for personality traits such as impulsiveness and risk-taking are often the
least effective at multitasking, but they also are the most likely to
multitask and to think they are good at it. Researchers believe this might
be because people who have impulsive personalities are easily distracted
and unable to focus on one task at a time, leading them to multitask.
People who are able to focus on the task at hand have been found to be the
most effective at multitasking, which researchers concluded was because
those people were not multitasking out of distraction but rather with the
intent to be more productive.

Damn! Prison Break actor Wentworth Miller comes out as gay
The 41-year-old actor wrote:
Thank you for your kind invitation. As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes. However, as a gay man, I must decline.
I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government. The situation is in no way acceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly.
Perhaps, when and if circumstances improve, I'll be free to make a different choice.
Until then. Wentworth Miller

Social isolation, regardless of feelings of loneliness, may have negative
Social isolation -- a lack of companionship or interaction -- might
correlate with a higher rate of illness and mortality, according to a study
that followed participants age 52 or older from 2004-2012. Even if the
respondents did not necessarily feel lonely, researchers found that the
most socially isolated participants had a 26% higher mortality rate. These
findings led researchers to think that having confidants could result in
symptoms of illness or poor health being noticed sooner. In addition,
physical contact correlated with a decrease in health symptoms such as pain
or high blood pressure.
Exercise makes you think better, according to a growing body of evidence.
Exercise has been found to improve cognition, research has shown, although
it is not known why. Aerobic exercise, such as walking or swimming, has
been found to be particularly effective at making the brain think better.
It is thought that exercise increases blood flow to the brain, making it
easier to think more clearly, because of the additional oxygen the brain is
receiving. Exercise also is thought to activate the hippocampus, an area of
the brain that contributes to memory and learning. Some scientists believe
that having exercise improve cognition might have developed in early humans
to help them react more quickly while running for survival.
