My controlling wife insists she isn’t controlling. But she is.
Join or read Dr. Andrea’s latest live chat here. What do you do when you know your wife is controlling, but she denies it or doesn’t see herself that way, even when others do?

Floating pipe set to start massive ocean cleanup process
San Francisco (CNN) A 2,000 foot-long floating pipe nicknamed Wilson is about to start its mission to collect all the plastic in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Last month, the Ocean Cleanup foundation launched the world's first ocean cleanup system out of San Francisco to take on the notorious "Great Pacific Garbage Patch," a giant floating trash pile between San Francisco and Hawaii that is twice the size of Texas. It's the largest of five ocean trash piles on Earth. The pipe is set to arrive at its destination in the ocean on Tuesday and begin the cleanup process soon after, according to a company spokesperson.

Paul G. Allen, Microsoft’s Co-Founder, Is Dead at 65
Paul G. Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft who helped usher in the personal computing revolution and then channeled his enormous fortune into transforming Seattle into a cultural destination, died on Monday in Seattle. Mr. Allen was a force at Microsoft during its first seven years, along with its co-founder, Bill Gates, as the personal computer was moving from a hobbyist curiosity to a mainstream technology, used by both businesses and consumers. When the company was founded, in 1975, the machines were known as microcomputers, to distinguish the desktop computers with the hulking machines of the day. Mr. Allen came up with the name Micro-Soft, an apt one for a company that made software for small computers. The term personal computer would become commonplace later.

Harvard Calls for Retraction of Dozens of Studies by Noted Cardiologist
A prominent cardiologist formerly at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston fabricated or falsified data in 31 published studies that should be retracted, officials at the institutions have concluded. The cardiologist, Dr. Piero Anversa, produced research suggesting that damaged heart muscle could be regenerated with stem cells, a type of cell that can transform itself into a variety of other cells. Although other laboratories could not reproduce his findings, the work led to the formation of start-up companies to develop new treatments for heart attacks and stroke, and inspired a clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health. “A couple of papers may be alarming, but 31 additional papers in question is almost unheard-of,” said Benoit Bruneau, associate director of cardiovascular research at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco. “It is a lab’s almost entire body of work, and therefore almost an entire field of research, put into question.”

Amy Schumer Says Women 'Live In Constant Fear Of Violence'
Comedian Amy Schumer, in a recent conversation with actor Dax Shepard, offered a memorable explanation of the violence ― both potential and real ― that women face day in and day out. In an appearance on Shepard’s podcast, “Armchair Expert,” Schumer spoke with Shepard and his wife, actress Kristen Bell, about violence against women and the silent sexism so many women experience. At one point in the discussion, Shepard likened an uncomfortable experience of a woman hitting on him to the harassment women encounter. “Forget about being uncomfortable, women are mostly scared of violence,” Schumer rebuked him. “One in 6 women reports being sexually assaulted, but really it’s 1 in 3 women.

Money continues to trickle into unusually expensive D.C. State Board of Education races
More than $225,000 has flowed into four board races that will be decided Nov. 6, according to the latest campaign finance reports. [Why is so much money flowing into D.C.’s school board races?] The school board seats are intended to be nonpartisan, and contenders do not compete in primaries. The city’s elected school board was stripped of most of its power in 2007 when then-Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) wrested control of the school system. Now, the school board is limited to setting broad policies governing graduation requirements, academic standards and teacher qualifications.
