Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey are reportedly seeking treatment at the same upscale sex rehab facility in Arizona.

They aren’t the first names to have headed to rehab after a national sex scandal, of which a long list includes Tiger Woods, Michael Douglas and Rob Lowe. But with the onslaught of allegations continuing to make headlines, the conversation surrounding the field of in-patient sex therapy is once again stirring controversy.

The concept of sex addiction or disorder has long been criticized by both medical experts and the general public, often pointing to a lack of research in treatment and publicist efforts to hide clients amidst scandals. But while sex addiction isn’t listed as an official mental illness by the American Psychiatric Association, it is recognized as a disorder, and a range of treatment centers, practicing psychiatrists and counselors exist.

Host Larry Mantle talks with experts on sexual health and addiction treatment.

The Food and Drug Administration approved a first yesterday – a digital pill that that can tell doctors if and when a patient took the medicine.

As cited by the New York Times, millions of patients don’t take their prescribed medications, which adds up to nearly $100 billion a year in subsequent costs. The pill approved yesterday is an iteration of an antipsychotic. The way it would work is that a consenting patient would sign a consent form to give their doctors and up to four others electronic information about when and whether the pill was taken.

According to proponents, this tracking pill has the potential to save costs and help patients who are forgetful or noncompliant. But it also raises ethical concerns about consent, privacy and even efficacy, as illnesses such as schizophrenia often come with paranoia, and a tracking device might erode doctor-patient relations.

What are the benefits of a digital pill?  What are the ethical concerns and can they be circumvented?

LeBron James has pretty much everything: fame, a multimillion dollar contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers, a lifetime endorsement deal with Nike, and three NBA championship rings.

You’d think paying for data roaming wouldn’t be a big deal for him.

Nope.

James and his longtime friend and basketball sidekick Dwyane Wade were interviewed by ESPN’s Rachel Nichols. She asked whether he was truly as cheap as everyone says he is.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/nLvnOLcOprY

James responded in the affirmative, adding that not only does he refuse to turn on his data roaming, he also is not a fan of paying for a smartphone app, and that he still uses the free version of the music streaming site, Pandora.

The California Community College’s Board of Governors has pushed forward some proposals for the development of an online-only community college option.; Credit: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

On Monday, a proposal for an all-online community college was heard in efforts to boost job prospects for about 2 million working class Californians who lack full degrees.

The California Community College’s Board of Governors heard three proposals aimed at helping residents who have some college under their belt, but don’t feel that community college’s current offerings address their needs or provide opportunities to move up in their careers.

Proponents of the initiative, called Project FLOW (Flex Learning Options for Workers), say it’s a necessary option to provide better job access for an underserved population. Critics say the state’s funds should be invested into already existing schools with online programs.

The FLOW workgroup is accepting public comment until November 22.

The Senate’s version of the tax overhaul plan will include a repeal of the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act.

The move accomplishes two things: it’s a way to help pay for the major tax cuts the tax overhaul wants to accomplish, and it does away with a key part of the ACA that Republicans have long been against.

Furthermore, the Senate has announced that its version would sunset their tax cuts for individuals by 2025, while the suggested tax cuts for corporations would remain permanent.

What are the chances of its passage in the Senate?

On Tuesday, a gunman opened fire in the small Northern California town of Rancho Tehama Reserve, about 130 miles north of Sacramento, killing at least four and wounding many others before being shot dead by police.

The 45-minute shooting spree occurred at multiple locations, including an elementary school. The school had a locked front gate, which the gunman rammed through with his truck. It’s reported that school officials heard the gunshots first and immediately put the campus into lockdown, but the sequence of events is still unclear as a number of scenes are under investigation.

As more details come to light, Rancho Tehama Elementary has received praise for their fast response in what could have been a much deadlier massacre. What can other schools takeaway from this elementary school’s protocol under similar circumstances? And what additional security measures could have been taken? We get the latest from both a reporter and a security expert who have been following the story.

From 280 characters to listicles, copywriting has experienced a style overhaul this past decade and Buzzfeed copy chief Emmy J. Favilla has been a major driving force in the shift.

When Favilla first started working at Buzzfeed in 2012 as a copy editor, she was also tasked with the major responsibility of creating the website’s style guide. Her new book “A World Without ‘Whom’: The Essential Guide to Language in the Buzzfeed Age,” outlines the author’s philosophies on the written word and what it means to “correctly” write in the modern age.

With chapters dedicated to topics such as how to write about social issues and what language trends are here to stay (hint: “woke,” “GIF” and all the various “dad goals” and “squad goals” made the cut), Favilla makes writing in a seemingly free-for-all internet world a little more organized.

It’s been a trying season for the NFL this year.

Viewership continues to drop, some teams have been plagued by clashes between ownership and players over on-field protests of the national anthem, and links between the game and head injuries continue to surface, most recently with the news that an autopsy of former NFL player and convicted murderer Aaron Hernandez had abnormally severe brain damage for someone his age.

There’s also discord brewing between commissioner Roger Goodell and one of the league’s most influential and outspoken team owners, the Dallas Cowboys’ Jerry Jones. The league has accused Jones of trying to sabotage contract negotiations between it and Commissioner Goodell. Jones has been critical of Goodell’s handling of the situation involving his team’s star running back, Ezekiel Elliott, who is currently serving a six game suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy because of allegations of domestic violence.

With all of the bumps along the road, how is the future of the NFL shaping up for current and to-be players? What can the NFL do to try and combat the change? What about viewers? If you were an NFL fan before, has your viewership changed? Why or why not?

Starting in July, law enforcement officers throughout California will start collecting demographics data from nearly all drivers and pedestrians that they stop – that includes data on race, gender, English proficiency and disabilities.

The final regulations from the program were released by Attorney General Xavier Becerra’s office Wednesday. The regulations were developed because of The Racial and Identity Profiling Act, which was passed in 2015 and mandated that all California law enforcement collect this data, with the intention of recognizing and preventing racial profiling.

Law enforcement groups had lobbied against the legislation, saying it would add a time-consuming task to officers in agencies that are already understaffed.

There are also questions about the practicalities of such a program. Since a police officer cannot directly ask a citizen about their race or gender, they would have to guess at their demographics – and what happens if they get it wrong? Does that open them to lawsuits? Or is the information regarding an officer’s perception of a citizen’s demographics actually what’s being collected? What are the benefits of this program and how will the data be used?

The House is expected to pass its version of the tax overhaul plan to slash corporate tax rates and reduce personal income tax rates while eliminating some deductions and credits. The vote is expected to pass along party line.

The Senate Finance Committee is aiming to pass its separate version by week's end. But some GOP senators, most vocally Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, want changes.

Plus, LA radio personality Leeann Tweeden has joined the #MeToo campaign and is alleging Democratic Senator Al Franken of Minnesota of sexual misconduct.

It’s cute when a kid asks, “Alexa, did you farted?,” but as the realm of smart technology quickly evolves from household voice assistants to tangible, intelligent toys, how should we monitor children’s relationship with AI?

Take Cozmo for example. The tiny and adorable Wall-E-esque robot created by Anki can recognize your child’s face and respond with gleeful eyes to make them (and you) feel warm and fuzzy inside.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVLFyTTdTPk

The built-in “emotion engine” also allows it to adapt and respond to its surroundings with a range of reactions, including boredom, frustration and anger – you don’t want to drop him.

So it’s no surprise that children quickly develop a deep sense of attachment and emotional responsibility for their smart robots, transcending conventional ties to a stuffed bear or favorite video game. But how authentic are these connections? And if more of their attention continues to divert towards technology, how can parents ensure real human relationships are still formed throughout childhood?

We speak with two experts on children’s interactions with artificial intelligence.

After being accused of sexual harassment by radio anchor Leeann Tweeden, Democratic Minnesota Senator Al Franken issued two apologies, admitting to his behavior and calling for an ethics investigation into his own conduct.

Many on the left say this isn’t enough and are calling on Franken to resign from office. This New York Times op-ed contends that if Franken doesn’t resign, other women who’ve faced sexual harassment might hesitate to come forward and that democrats must keep riding the current movement for accountability.

Others are defending Franken for his track record on women’s issues, saying calling for his resignation wouldn’t be politically pragmatic and would set a bad precedent for future democratic politicians whose misconduct comes to light. In this Washington Post op-ed, the author argues that it’s better to create a pathway to reform and keep a liberal in office than to oust them and leave a gap for a Republican who would vote against women’s interests.  

Meanwhile Republican Roy Moore is denying mounting allegations of sexual harassment and assault of minors against a background of mixed GOP reactions, ranging from calls for him to drop out of the U.S. senate race by GOP leaders such as Mitch McConnell and continued support from the Alabama Republican Party.

While these are different situations with different facts, both Moore and Franken present a pragmatic challenge to their respective parties –  to remove them from their political positions or to keep them in power so they can continue representing their respective party values; personal values versus political ones.

So what is to the greater benefit to each party? What will this mean for the national conversation about accountability for sexual harassers? And which is the more pragmatic route?

Charles Manson, leader of the notorious “Manson Family” cult, died of natural causes on Sunday after spending five decades in prison for his spate of murders in 1969.

The wild-eyed failed musician made international headlines after the gruesome killings of actress Sharon Tate and six others conducted by Manson and his followers, which later became known as the Tate-LaBianca murders. His manipulative control over members, sexual abuse of “the girls” and predatory recruitment tactics were triggered by an obsession to induce his Helter Skelter racial war.

Horrifying details emerging from the 1971 Los Angeles trial originally ended with a death penalty sentence for Manson, but was later reversed to life in prison after California’s brief abolishment of capital punishment.

Host Larry Mantle spoke with former member of the Manson family, Dianne Lake. She was the youngest member of the family to join at age 14. She did not participate in any of the murders but witnessed their aftermath, and wrote a memoir about her experience.

Interview Highlights:

ON FIRST HEARING ABOUT THE DEATH OF CHARLES MANSON

“It brings relief and I think it brings — it brings closure. I hope it brings closure. I hope that this will help deescalate his fame or his notoriety. There’s a lot of people out there I think that want to be, or wanted to be, members for some reason. It was really a very horrific end to the ‘60s. What started out as good ended badly.”

ON BECOMING A MEMBER OF THE “FAMILY”

“I already had been emancipated by my parents with this little note … and when I came back I found that my parents were living in a commune, and the leader of the commune [Hog Farm] Hugh Romney was not happy with having a sexually active 14-year-old in his midst, or in this commune, because he told me, ‘You’re jailbait and we’re uncomfortable having you here.’ And so they wanted me to sleep in the attic. So then when I met Charlie he totally made me feel loved and adored and accepted. He and the girls.”

ON TESTIFYING AGAINST MANSON AT THE MURDER TRIAL

“It was hard … I was afraid that when I stepped into Charles’ presence that I was gonna start hearing his voice, and that he was gonna have some mind control over me, or I would remember the good times and block out the bad times and wouldn’t be able to testify. But I was able to testify and it really was a very powerful moment.”

Amidst the backdrop of the housing crisis and rising rents, activists in Inglewood and Pasadena have decided to present their respective cities’ voters with rent control initiatives.

As reported by KPCC’s Josie Huang, activists in Inglewood filed a petition for a ballot initiative in October, saying that without rent control their community members will not be able to afford housing.

Developers are pushing back, arguing that the solution to the housing crisis is to build more housing – and that rent control dissuades developers from creating more units.

Activists in other cities are following similar paths, with those in Long Beach aiming to re-file a petition in a few weeks and Glendale activists planning to put an initiative on the 2018 ballot.

As neighborhoods gentrify and rents go up, what is the best solution for keeping communities intact? What about to solve the housing crisis and create more units? Can housing problems be addressed alongside rent control?
