		<description><![CDATA[Last month, President Francoise Hollande signed a law authorizing gay marriage and adoption by same-sex couples in France, but according to a new ad from Google, same sex couples have been using Google Hangouts to skirt the law for a few months. The ad, which is quite the tearjerker, follows French couples who used the Google Hangout technology to get married in France by video conferencing with a Belgian mayor who seems more than happy to officiate the joyous occasions. Same-sex marriage is legal in Belgium, one of the world&#8217;s 14 nations that accepts same-sex marriage. The stars of the Google ad are Marc-Antoine and Sebastien, who met in 1976 and — thanks to Google — finally found a way to make their relationship official. The couples&#8217; union was put together by a group called by a French NGO called Together for Equality, or Tous Unis Pour L&#8217;Egalité. The group has already organized six weddings via the Google video platform and, as their video statement shows, they are ready to keep on going. While the largely symbolic ceremonies do not change the couple&#8217;s legal status in France, it&#8217;s clear that they are very meaningful, even if you&#8217;re just watching an ad about them.

		<description><![CDATA[Are you a fan of Taylor Swift, but find her lyrics a little too complacent? Do you wish she was a little more forward with her feminism? Then do we have a Twitter account for you: @FeministTSwift, the online doppelganger of an imagined feminist Taylor Swift who has no qualms standing up for herself or her ideals in her refreshingly feminist lyrics. Created by Clara Beyer, a rising senior at Brown University where she runs That Girl Magazine, a college blog devoted to “carefully walking the line between f&#8212;ing the patriarchy and recommending an awesome new lipstain,” the Twitter account went viral this week, gaining over 47,000 followers in its first few days of existence. Beyer considers herself both a feminist and a Taylor Swift fan, which she admitted to BuzzFeed “isn’t always easy.&#8221; Beyer launched the account last Tuesday after she tweeted the idea for it and a friend called her to make sure she followed through. Beyer did, and her 71 thought-provoking, clever and funny tweets have attracted over 75,000 followers so far. Here are some of our favorites: (MORE: 140 Best Twitter Feeds of 2013) You were Romeo, you were throwin&#8217; pebbles / And my daddy said &#8220;Stay away from Juliet&#8221; / But I&#8217;m a grown woman who can make her own decisions — FeministTaylorSwift (@feministtswift) June 16, 2013 I&#8217;m not a princess / This ain&#8217;t a fairytale / I&#8217;m writing my own story / With a strong female hero — FeministTaylorSwift (@feministtswift) June 14, 2013 If you just said you&#8217;re sorry / I know that we could work it out somehow / But if this was a movie it would probably fail the Bechdel test — FeministTaylorSwift (@feministtswift) June 15, 2013 Feminist Taylor Swift now joins the ranks of Feminist Ryan Gosling and Feminist Hulk as the equality-loving mashups we never knew we needed, but are very glad exist.

		<description><![CDATA[Looking for the perfect gift for the Rolling Stones fan who has everything? How about a lock of Mick Jagger&#8217;s hair? One carefully preserved lock of the frontman&#8217;s tresses can be yours for an estimated auction price of between $2,300 and $3,100, according to Bonham&#8217;s, the British auction house. Auction-house devotees will note that this estimate is significantly more than what Stones&#8217; guitarist Keith Richards&#8217; hair fetched at auction, reportedly a mere $1,400. Buyer beware, though: The hair in question was snipped from the singer&#8217;s hair well before he was ever in the Rolling Stones. Apparently the hair was clipped from Jagger&#8217;s head and preserved by a former girlfriend&#8217;s grandmother back in the pre-Stones early 1960s while Jagger was enrolled at the London School of Economics. The lock is being offered by Chrissie Shrimpton, whose grandmother saved the hair – &#8220;unbeknown to her at the time,&#8221; according to Bonham&#8217;s – in a paper envelope on which was written, &#8220;Mick Jagger&#8217;s hair after being washed + trimmed by Chris at Rose Hill Farm.&#8221; Along with the hair comes a statement of provenance &#8212; namely that this lock was saved by Shrimpton&#8217;s grandmother then passed to Shrimpton&#8217;s aunt before being returned to Chrissie by a cousin taking care of personal effects. The proceeds from the sale of Jagger’s hair will go to charity. (MORE: Mick Jagger’s 1969 Love Letters Sell At Auction for over $300,000) While purchasing a lock of Mick Jagger&#8217;s hair may seem strange, in the world of celebrity memorabilia it&#8217;s not entirely out of the ordinary. As CNN reported,  a clump of hair believed to have been snipped from Elvis Presley’s scalp when he joined the Army in 1958 sold for $18,300 in 2009, and a single moustache hair pulled from John Dillinger’s death mask was part of a lot that sold for $5,400 in 2012. Besides, a lock of hair is not nearly as perplexing as the Beatles&#8217; fan who bought John Lennon&#8217;s molar, nor the person who shelled out the big bucks for Lady Gaga&#8217;s fake fingernail, which<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=newsfeed.time.com&#038;blog=12783068&#038;post=212990&#038;subd=timenewsfeed&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you live 1,600 feet below sea level, you expect a certain degree of privacy. That&#8217;s why little is known about the ethereal oarfish, a serpent-like deep sea creature that can grow to as long as 56 ft. in length. The oarfish — really a family of several species — is the Guinness Book of World Records holder as the longest bony fish in the world, a group that includes almost all fish except sharks and rays. While the fish spend most of their lives in deep water, they can float to the surface when dying. Specimens found there have sparked the imagination of fishermen and might be the real-life basis of the Loch Ness Monster. New video footage, published online on June 5th in the Journal of Fish Biology, sheds light on the oarfish. The video of the oarfish was taken by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) back in August 2011 by a team of researchers. The footage shows an 8-foot-long, shimmering oarfish as it swims about 200 feet below the ocean surface. It is the longest and best-quality video captured to date, according to Mark Benfield, a researcher at Louisiana State University, who is the lead author of a paper describing the oarfish video. The strangely beautiful video shows the oarfish as it studies the bright lights of the research camera, undulating in place, before zipping off back into the deep.

		<description><![CDATA[Residents of a village in Thailand found something unexpected in their well on Sunday: a baby elephant. The one-month old elephant had been separated from its herd as it moved through the Phayao Province region of Thailand. The (relatively) small animal then somehow got trapped in the deep well where the villagers found her seemingly scared and desperate to get out. The villagers called a local animal rescue organization who came out armed with a backhoe. The group was able to carve out a pathway for the elephant who then walked to freedom, her mother, and, hopefully, safety. Watch the full video below: In March, the prime minister of Thailand pledged to end the nation’s ivory trade in response to growing calls from international wildlife groups desperate to stop the slaughter of African elephants. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, promised to close a loophole in Thai law that allowed smugglers to ferry tusks from African elephants to Thai markets and often to China, the world’s top destination for illegal ivory.

		<description><![CDATA[When you have a rat problem, you get a cat. Two residents of Xalapa, Mexico (the capital city of Veracruz state) hope that this works in politics as well as in kitchens. That&#8217;s why they have put forward their own candidate – a cat – to run for mayor in the beleaguered city that has been plagued with corrupt politicians, known colloquially as &#8220;rats.&#8221; Morris, the feline candidate&#8217;s name, is running with the campaign slogan of &#8220;Xalapa Without Rats.&#8221; He has a Facebook page and Twitter account and  promises to &#8220;rid the city of rats,&#8221; a local euphemism for corrupt politicians, if he wins. Morris also promises to do what other politicians do, namely sleep and do nothing. &#8220;Candidates here almost never fulfill their promises,&#8221; said Jair Cuevas, one of the students who came up with the Morris campaign. &#8220;Our candidate promises to sleep, eat, yawn and play in the dirt and that is what he will do if he wins the election.&#8221; Morris is forthcoming about his weaknesses, though, having a soft spot for &#8220;quilts, sheets, pillows, couches, and clothing in general,&#8221; Metro reports. (MORE: Cat Bandit Smuggles Cellphones into Russian Prison) Perhaps unsurprisingly, according to a CNN iReport, Morris now has more likes on his Facebook page than three out of the four main mayoral candidates in the running, including besting Americo Zuñiga, who is currently the human frontrunner, by over 20,000 &#8220;likes.&#8221; Morris is expected to overcome the fourth candidate soon. Unfortunately, according to ABC News, Morris will not be allowed on the ballot in Xalapa. Due to this hurdle, come election day on July 7th, Morris&#8217; campaign staff are asking voters to write-in his name on the ballot, or draw the face of a cat, in order to send a message to the city&#8217;s politicians.

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s never a good time to find out that you are being sued, but there are some really bad times – like in the middle of your own concert, for example. A process server undoubtedly earned his place in legal lore for reportedly handing R&#38;B singer Ciara a subpoena in the middle of her performance at a L.A. Gay Pride event on Saturday. The singer was headlining the event when a &#8220;fan&#8221; handed her some papers while she was on stage. (Buzzfeed made a .gif of the moment here.) Ciara managed to continue singing, while seeming to quickly scan them. Perhaps after realizing that she hadn&#8217;t been handed fan letters, the singer tossed the papers aside. You can hear an audience member say, &#8220;She got served,&#8221; in a TMZ video. Ciara is being sued by a club for allegedly not showing up to a performance scheduled for June 7th. According to the lawsuit, which was obtained by TMZ, the singer allegedly signed a $10,000 deal to perform at The Factory in Los Angeles, but cancelled at the last moment, leaving the club without a headliner. Ciara&#8217;s representatives dispute the claim, telling TMZ that the singer backed out before a deal was finalized.

		<description><![CDATA[Opera singers Richard and Adam Johnson were singing &#8220;The Impossible Dream&#8221; on the finale of Britain&#8217;s Got Talent on Saturday when a well-dressed woman popped up on stage and started throwing eggs at Simon Cowell, the show&#8217;s famously cranky judge. As security rushed the stage to remove the woman, the Johnsons kept singing as if nothing had happened. After all the show must go on. The woman was able to throw several eggs at Cowell before she was carted off the stage. He later tweeted: I don&#8217;t think eggs should be allowed on talent shows. Discuss? — Simon Cowell (@SimonCowell) June 9, 2013 The egg hurler turned out to be Natalie Holt, a former contestant who was playing in the orchestra, according to EW.com. Holt, 30, later released a statement via the show saying, &#8220;I want to apologize to Richard and Adam for overshadowing their performance. I&#8217;ve never done anything like this before and in hindsight I have realised it was a silly thing to do.&#8221; Cowell added later, &#8220;Bloody hell! Just watched the Adam and Richard performance back. They didn&#8217;t miss a note.&#8221; The Johnson brothers placed third in the competition, but first in professionalism. MORE: X’ed Out!

		<description><![CDATA[Following in the growing trend of breast milk cheese, breast milk jewelry and breast milk ice cream, here comes another treat: Breast milk-flavored lollipops. But these suckers won&#8217;t be shut down by the health officials, like the creators of the now-infamous “Baby Gaga” breast milk ice cream, because the lollipop made by the Austin, Texas company Lollyphile, is not actually made from breast milk, it just tastes like it is. In fact, the confection is vegan. When Lollyphile founder Jason Darling&#8217;s friends started having babies, Darling made an unofficial survey of the tots&#8217; behavior. One thing he noticed was that breast milk calmed those kids right down. “Sure, the kids are all crazy cute,&#8221; said Darling in a statement on the Lollyphile website, &#8220;But what slowly dawned on me was that my friends were actually producing milk so delicious it could turn a screaming, furious child into a docile, contented one. I knew I had to capture that flavor.&#8221; (MORE: That Was Fast: Health Officials Stop Sales of Breast-Milk Ice Cream) With the help of some breastfeeding mothers, who &#8220;kept sharing their breast milk with our flavor specialists until we were able to candify it,&#8221; Darling was able to achieve his dream of crafting a lollipop sure to appeal to, well, breastfed babies at least. Darling, told the Los Angeles Times that to perfect the breast milk flavor of the lollipop, he tried the milk from four open-minded new mothers. &#8220;One of my friends had a preemie &#8212; it was seven months &#8212; and she had higher levels of colostrum, which made it sweeter, blue and thicker,&#8221; Darling told the LA Times. &#8220;It all kind of tastes sort of like almond milk, but sweeter.&#8221; The resulting sucker, which joins the company&#8217;s other unusual offerings (Sriracha-flavored lollipop, anyone?), is made from sugar, corn syrup and natural flavors. So what do the lollipops taste like? According to the Lollyphile website, they are &#8220;quite possibly the most inherently satisfying flavor of all time.&#8221; Darling also noted on his website that, &#8220;These lollipops won&#8217;t<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=newsfeed.time.com&#038;blog=12783068&#038;post=211189&#038;subd=timenewsfeed&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Heath Campbell wanted to make a good impression on the family court judge. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to tell the judge, I love my children. I wanna be a father, let me be it,&#8221; Campbell told NBC on Monday before heading into court. &#8220;Let me prove to the world that I am a good father.&#8221; In an arguably misguided effort to prove his case, Campbell showed up to court in full Nazi regalia. (MORE: JCPenney’s ‘Hitler’ Teakettle Sells Out Online) Campbell started wearing the uniform because he is the founder of &#8220;Hitler&#8217;s Order,” a pro-Nazi organization. He and his family drew national media attention back in  2008 when a store refused to inscribe a cake with &#8220;Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler.&#8221; Now Campbell is once again in the spotlight as he appeared in court in an effort to get visitation rights for his youngest son, 2-year old Heinrich Hons Campbell. New Jersey child welfare officials had already placed Heinrich Hons&#8217;s older siblings – Adolf Hitler, 7, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, 6, and 5-year-old Honzlynn Jeannie  – in foster care because of alleged violence in the family&#8217;s home. Campbell told the local NBC affiliate that the three eldest children have been adopted. He contends authorities took his children away because of his beliefs – he is a Holocaust denier – and because he gave his children Nazi-themed names, not because he and his wife were unfit parents, despite an appellate court ruling that the three children were abused or neglected. Campbell is unemployed, but maintains that he can support his children. When asked if wearing a Nazi uniform would hurt his case, Campbell replied that it depends upon the judge. &#8220;If they&#8217;re good judges and they&#8217;re good people, they&#8217;ll look within, not what&#8217;s on the outside,&#8221; he said. “I love my children with all my heart and soul,&#8221; Campbell told the New York Daily News. &#8220;I’m a father and I deserve the right to be a father.” MORE: Vienna Philharmonic Reveals Nazi Past MORE: ‘War Games’: Museum of Childhood Highlights Militarism in the Playpen<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=newsfeed.time.com&#038;blog=12783068&#038;post=210930&#038;subd=timenewsfeed&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you know if your dog is a leftie? Like people, dogs tend to be either left- or right-pawed, preferring to use one over the other in certain tasks. What&#8217;s more, it turns out that if your sausage-snatching Schnauzer snarls at strangers, it might be a hint that he is left-pawed. A new study published in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior indicates that dogs whose front left paw is dominant may have more aggressive tendencies than right-pawed pooches. (The study only involved front paws, although dogs also tend to have a dominant back leg too.) Reporting on the findings, the University of Adelaide&#8217;s Dr. Luke Schneider told the Telegraph, “We found that dogs with a preference for left paws were reported by their owners to show high levels of aggression towards strangers. The left-pawed dogs scored almost twice as high as ambilateral [ones with no preference] and also higher than dogs with right paws.&#8221; (MORE: Dogs Rescued From Oklahoma Tornado Find Shelter in Boca Raton) Although researchers failed to detect a link between being left-paw dominant and other traits like excitability or attention-seeking behavior, dogs with a left-paw preference were slightly more likely to show aggression towards strangers. This behavior mirrors what has been observed in left-handed people. Researchers believe that this is due to the fact that the left hand (or paw) is controlled by the right hemisphere of the brain, which is associated with more negative emotions in both humans and dogs. Schneider explained, &#8220;There is research in the human world as well that positive and negative emotions can be located in the left and right hemispheres and it seems to go the same way in humans and other animal species, that the negative emotions are located in the right hemisphere. There are many, many overlaps between human and animal brains.&#8221; It should be noted that while one-third of the 75 dogs used in the experiment were identified as left-pawed, none of them were known for having aggressive behavior. The researchers now want to carry out further research with<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=newsfeed.time.com&#038;blog=12783068&#038;post=210963&#038;subd=timenewsfeed&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Attention Abercrombie &#38; Fitch, we have the perfect hiring pool for you. BeautifulPeople, the dating site that bills itself as &#8220;an exclusively beautiful community,&#8221; is launching an employment vertical on its website. The company told Mashable its employment feature is intended for employers who want to hire &#8220;good-looking staff.&#8221; Think you fit the bill? To be considered for the BeautifulPeople job site one must hurdle the &#8220;elite&#8221; club&#8217;s entry requirements, including submitting a headshot that will be rated by existing members of the opposite sex. If one is deemed beautiful enough to gain entry – a process the company claims is &#8220;fair and democratic&#8221; – not only will you be able to &#8220;have access to the most attractive people locally and from around the globe,&#8221; but job seekers will also be able to look through the site&#8217;s job listings, apply directly to companies and network with other presumably &#8220;beautiful&#8221; people. (MORE: WATCH: Abercrombie &#38; Fitch for the Homeless) While the website seems prima facie discriminatory, BeautifulPeople justifies its polices with the claim that &#8220;numerous studies have shown that consumers tend to respond more positively and are more receptive to attractive people.&#8221; &#8220;An honest employer will tell you that it pays to hire good-looking staff,&#8221; said Greg Hodge, managing director of BeautifulPeople, in a statement. &#8220;Attractive people tend to make a better first impression on clients, win more business and earn more.&#8221; Potential employers who have no fear of possible consumer backlash will be able to use the free employment service to access the site&#8217;s 750,000 member base and select their staff of &#8220;attractive&#8221; people. It&#8217;s unclear if any employers are actually using the site, but BeautifulPeople claims its site is &#8220;frequented by some of the world’s leading model scouts, talent agencies and production companies&#8221; looking to recruit talent. The site launch comes at a time when Abercrombie &#38; Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries has been in the hot seat after his 2006 quote defending hiring only &#8220;good-looking people&#8221; to &#8220;attract other good-looking people&#8221; resurfaced and went viral.

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a new summer activity sure to appeal to your sweet tooth: A chocolate syrup slip &#8216;n slide, which is exactly what it sounds like a.k.a. simultaneously the best and worst idea. Ever. The slide was created by the people behind the Bangakang YouTube channel, who apparently don&#8217;t mind getting a little sticky in pursuit of fun. If you want to recreate the sticky fun at home, the slip n&#8217; slide requires nothing more than 200 yards of plastic sheeting, some willing participants and dozens (hundreds?) of bottles of chocolate syrup you don&#8217;t mind using on a slide instead of for making chocolate milk. Simply unroll the plastic, coat the runway in chocolate syrup and dive in. You may want to set up your slip n&#8217; slide near a hose or shower, because riding the subway home after a few luges down the chocolate-covered slide may be a little awkward as you protest, &#8220;No, really, it&#8217;s chocolate.&#8221; MORE:  Sweet!

		<description><![CDATA[Move over Garfield, Grumpy Cat is making the move to movies. Grumpy Cat –the king of the internet cat meme – is breaking off from the computer screen and heading to the silver screen. Grumpy Cat&#8217;s agent has sold a one-picture deal for a Garfield-like feature film in which Grumpy Cat, whose real name is Tardar Sauce, will star and, yes, talk. Grumpy Cat is no stranger to the camera. The grouch&#8217;s official YouTube Channel has over 120,000 subscribers and over 20 million views. While some may be surprised about the meme-to-movie path, Grumpy Cat is one of the most successful internet memes around. &#8220;This started off as a picture of a cat, but rare is an image that evokes that much comedy,” Todd Garner, one of the producers of the Grumpy Cat film told Deadline. “You read all of the memes and the comments, and one is funnier than the next. We think we can build a big family comedy around this character.” (MORE: Grumpy Cat Is Not Impressed by TIME’s Photo Shoot) The movie deal is just another laurel in Grumpy Cat&#8217;s crown. The sour puss kitty has had a whirlwind year since a photo of her surly mug was posted on Reddit.com in September. Since then it&#8217;s been a swift ride to the top for Grumpy Cat. She was voted Meme of the Year at the 2013 Webby Awards, named the most influential cat of 2012 by MSNBC, a Meme of 2012 by Mashable, was the star of SXSW and has appeared on TV shows including Today, Good Morning America, CBS Evening News, Anderson Cooper Live, VH1 Morning Buzz and The Soup. The celebrated feline even stopped by TIME&#8217;s offices for a photo shoot. Not that any of these accolades will turn that famous frown upside down.

		<description><![CDATA[We all know that exercise is important, but with summer nearly here, why keep slogging away on the elliptical or treadmill? Instead head to the great outdoors to Prancercise. Created by Joann Rohrback, Prancercise® is defined on the official website as &#8220;a springy, rhythmic way of moving forward, similar to a horse’s gait and ideally induced by elation.&#8221; The exercise looks, to borrow a phrase from the golf world, like a good walk spoiled. Rohrback, who also wrote a book on the subject, says on her website that, “This form of movement, along with dietary and spiritual principles can create the most satisfying, holistic and successful fitness program one could hope to experience.&#8221; The exercise regimen was invented back in 1989, but never caught on, until now. The video was recently unearthed and is sweeping across the internet, undoubtedly turning yoga, Zumba and pilates fans into enthusiastic Prancercisers. Check it out and decide whether Prancercise is right for you.

		<description><![CDATA[It may come as a shock to some fans that  the former child rockers Hanson are old enough to drink. However the singers of the 1997 hit &#8220;MMMBop&#8221; have just announced that not only do they have a new album coming out, but they are also releasing a beer, the aptly-named Mmmhops. The Hanson brothers – Isaac, 32, Taylor, 30 and Zac, 27  – introduced their new quaff by giving a taste to those attending last week&#8217;s Los Angeles premiere of The Hangover Part III. The group&#8217;s best-known single, the insanely catchy Grammy-nominated classic &#8220;MMMBop,&#8221; is featured in the movie and clearly inspired the Imperial Pale Ale&#8217;s name. (MORE: Zach Galifianakis’ Date to Hangover 3 Premiere: Woman He Saved from Homelessness) The boy band&#8217;s beer was brewed in partnership with Oklahoma craft beer company, Mustang Brewing, but won&#8217;t be available for drinking until later this fall when the band hits the road on the Anthem World Tour in support of its forthcoming ninth album. However, the brothers have released Mmmhops-related merchandise on their website. The band moved up its beer-swag release plans in response to the devastating tornadoes in the brothers&#8217; home state of Oklahoma. The proceeds from the Mmmhops merchandise will be donated to the Red Cross to aid in the Oklahoma tornado relief efforts. Their sixth studio album, Anthem, is due June 18.

		<description><![CDATA[It takes a lot of nerve to slap one of the most famous backsides in the world, yet one of Beyoncé&#8217;s fans did just that. During a Mrs. Carter Show World Tour stop in Copenhagen, Denmark, a front-row fan took the initiative to reach out and touch the &#8220;Bootylicious&#8221; singer&#8217;s booty while she performed. Beyoncé was singing on a small stage in order to interact with her fans, including handing them the microphone to sing some of her famous lyrics. The frisky fan&#8217;s feel copping was captured on camera and the video has gone viral. Beyoncé, who was clearly not amused by the interactive nature of the experience, immediately responded to the incident by telling the man, “I will have you escorted out right now, alright?” The fan was ultimately allowed to stay for the rest of the show, even though the rear-slapping happened while Beyoncé sang her kiss-off hit song &#8220;Irreplaceable&#8221; with the lyrics “go and get gone.” No word on how Mr. Carter (husband Jay-Z) reacted to the incident. The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour is scheduled to continue throughout the summer, with a final tour stop at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on August 5th.

		<description><![CDATA[While Heather Barrington&#8217;s baby isn&#8217;t due until July, she has already decamped to Hawaii in accordance with her birth plan. Barrington and her husband Adam Barrington are not in Hawaii for the views or hospitals, but because they are planning on delivering their child in a so-called dolphin-assisted birth in the ocean off the shore of Pahoa, Hawaii. The Charlotte Observer reports the couple are staying in Hawaii with Star Newland, the founder of The Sirius Institute – an institute that, according to their website, is “dedicated to the creation of human/dolphin co-creative habitats where dolphins and people can learn from each other through music, underwater birth, dolphin sound healing and restoration.” To prepare for the event, the Barringtons are spending time in the water in the hopes of forming a connection with a dolphin pod, which they in turn hope will bond with them and ultimately their newborn. “It is about reconnecting as humans with the dolphins so we can coexist in this world together and learn from one another,” Heather explained to the Charlotte Observer. The website for the Sirius Institute lists other benefits of a dolphin-assisted birth, too: &#8220;Children born in the water with the dolphins develop 6 months faster over their first six months, have perhaps 150 grams more brain weight and are ambidextrous.&#8221; (MORE: First Genetic Markers That Predict Postpartum Depression) There are plenty of heartwarming tales of dolphin bravery and sacrifice reported in the media. For example, this tale of dolphins forming a raft in an attempt to save a pod member who was in distress. With stories like that, the very open-minded may understand why someone might wish to take part in a dolphin-assisted birth. However, some experts strongly believe that a dolphin-assisted birth may be the worst idea ever. Christie Wilcox at Discover Magazine explains: &#8220;Not only do dolphins kill other animals, they kill baby dolphins using the same brutal tactics. No matter how cute they might appear, dolphins are not cuddly companions; they are real, large, ocean predators with a track record<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=newsfeed.time.com&#038;blog=12783068&#038;post=209788&#038;subd=timenewsfeed&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you looking for a new home? The U.S. Government has a deal for you: Beautiful historic lakefront property, 360-degree water views, panoramic vistas, must not mind occasional foghorn or bright lights. The cost? Absolutely nothing. The hitch? It&#8217;s a lighthouse on Lake Superior. The Superior Harbor South Breakwater lighthouse, located in Lake Superior near Duluth, MN, is being offered free to any eligible entity for educational, recreational, cultural or historic preservation purposes, because the U.S. Coast Guard who monitors the lake, no longer needs the beacon. (MORE: From the Archives &#8211; National Affairs: Lighthouses for Sale) Advances in technology mean that lighthouses, which were once critical to maintaining marine safety, are becoming increasingly irrelevant and can be costly to maintain. However their unique architecture and isolated waterfront placement makes them sought after locations for sea lovers and history buffs. In a win-win situation, under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act, the government can hand over lighthouses to worthy stewards willing to put in the time and effort to preserve the structures. The government can save tax dollars while preserving the past and making a community&#8217;s, educator&#8217;s or lighthouse fan&#8217;s day. The Superior lighthouse dates back to 1911 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Whoever takes control of the Superior lighthouse will have to agree to several conditions, including maintaining the structure to federal standards. In addition, according to the Pioneer Press, &#8220;the Coast Guard reserves an unrestricted right to enter the structure to service, replace or move the still-operating aids to navigation.&#8221; Aids include a light that flashes green every five seconds as well as a fog signal that sounds for three seconds, twice a minute as needed. If relocating to a windy outpost on the Minnesota-Wisconsin border doesn&#8217;t appeal to you, the government is also offering five lighthouses in Michigan as well as one in Connecticut for free transfer under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act.

		<description><![CDATA[While some people may firmly believe that there&#8217;s no such thing as too much bacon, a neighborhood in San Francisco begs to differ. A bacon restaurant — aptly named Bacon Bacon — was forced to close its doors earlier this month after its Upper Haight neighbors&#8217; complained about the overwhelming bacon aroma exuding from the restaurant. The complaints revealed a permitting issue that, according to the San Francisco Examiner could not be overcome in a timely manner, forced the restaurant to shutter its operations. A public hearing must be held before Bacon Bacon can continue operating, but one may not be scheduled until July, Planning Department officials said. (MORE: 105-Year-Old Woman Says Bacon Keeps Her Alive) Since everyone loves bacon – including the Haight Ashbury Improvement Association, whose president does not oppose the small business, but feels &#8220;that it needs to play by the rules&#8221; to operate – the restaurant&#8217;s closure has gotten national attention, including a mention on Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” segment over the weekend. Guest star Amy Poehler broke the story: Fear not Bay Area bacon fans, Bacon Bacon&#8217;s owner Angelus has re-opened the restaurant&#8217;s associated food truck thanks to some bacon-minded fans at the Stable Cafe, who rented Angelus their prep kitchen so the truck can stay on the streets and bring bacon to the masses.
