And he doesn't like to see her struggling under her conservatorship. McLean revealed on Wednesday's episode of SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live that he's had an up-close view of the situation, because they live in the same neighborhood and go to the same shopping center. He said he sees her "often" at a cupcake shop they both frequent. "The last time I saw her, it broke my heart. Last time I saw her, she was with a gentleman," McLean said. "I'm assuming it was security and, or maybe, a driver because I know based on her words, which I do believe 100 percent, you know, she's not allowed to drive herself." McLean said S...

Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean Details Interaction With Britney Spears That “Broke” His Heart – E! NEWS

After saying he is also part of a sobriety program, AJ remarked, "That is BS to me, because that's the whole core of what we do in this program is fellowship." As he put it, "We lean on each other, we look up to each other for support and... if somebody were to take that from me, it would really be difficult for me to stay sober, honest to god... I just wish [that] for her, honestly." AJ slammed another part of Britney's situation that he said "really irks me," pointing to her testimony that she cannot remove her IUD to have another baby, despite her wishes to do so.

Device taps brain waves to help paralyzed man communicate – Associated Press

In a medical first, researchers harnessed the brain waves of a paralyzed man unable to speak — and turned what he intended to say into sentences on a computer screen. It will take years of additional research but the study, reported Wednesday, marks an important step toward one day restoring more natural communication for people who can’t talk because of injury or illness. “Most of us take for granted how easily we communicate through speech,” said Dr. Edward Chang, a neurosurgeon at the University of California, San Francisco, who led the work. “It’s exciting to think we’re at the very beginning of a new chapter, a new field” to ease the devastation of patients who lost that ability. Today, people who can’t speak or write because of paralysis have very limited ways of communicating. For...

Gov. DeWine signs bill prohibiting Ohio public schools, universities from requiring vaccinations – WLWT Cincinnati

Public schools and colleges in Ohio would be prohibited from requiring individuals to receive vaccines not granted full approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, under a bill targeting coronavirus vaccinations signed into law Wednesday by Gov.

He said the emergency element is leading to vaccine hesitancy in the state.“It is past time for the FDA to take into account that hundre...
