Is Jacob and Anna’s relationship true love, or is it an addiction that neither can quite shake?
For them, the relationship becomes like trying to come back to a moment that existed, that’s in the past, and that doesn’t exist anymore. It’s that first three or four months that you cling to, or want to relive over and over again, like a drug. That’s the saddest thing of all, because while you’re in it, you can’t tell yourself that it’s not real, or that it doesn’t exist anymore. I feel like it’s two things, to be concise: One, it’s Jacob and Anna trying to get back to that moment, and two, it’s Jacob and Anna trying to move on from each other and not being able to. It’s somewhere in between those two, and it’s the grey area that’s devastating. That’s something that I really wanted to convey.

NASA says we might all be aliens
Whether or not you believe in life outside of our solar system, the fact that we are all here means that the stuff we’re made of must have come from somewhere. After studying meteorites and discovering ready-made components of DNA present, NASA has concluded that the building blocks of life as we know it may have crashed down on Earth from above.
Researchers at the Goddard Space Flight Center discovered portions of DNA on chunks of crashed space rock in both Antarctica and Australia. The extraterrestrial visitors contained various types of nucleobases, which are thought to be essential in the creation of DNA, and life in general. The scientists were able to isolate the compounds and prove that they weren’t created here on Earth. This was particularly important, as critics often cite contamination as the reason for these compounds appearing on meteorites that have been studied in the past.
The team also concluded that certain space rocks — depending on their makeup and speed — work like manufacturing facilities for these biological precursors. The implications of the discovery are far-reaching, and suggest that humanity may owe its existence to a well-placed meteorite in the early days of the Earth, and that without it the planet might be a rocky, watery wasteland

Occupy Movement News Update of the Day: Lisa Simeone, host of NPR’s World of Opera, has not been fired from her job as a result of her involvement with Occupy D.C. despite earlier reports claiming otherwise.
Instead, Simeone was dismissed from Soundprint, a documentary program that is not produced or distributed by NPR, but is carried by some of its affiliates.
Simeone has been speaking on behalf of the Occupy Wall Street offshoot for at least the past two weeks, with her role being identified as both “spokesperson” and “organizer.”
Lisa Gray, director of marketing at the North Carolina radio station that produces World of Opera confirmed that Simeone will stay on as host for the time being, although NPR’s continued distribution of the show is being discussed.
NPR is asking Simeone for clarification concerning her role in the movement, but says it did not ask for her termination from Soundprint. Speaking with the Sun’s David Zurawik, Simeone took issue with NPR’s objections, calling them “puzzling.”
“I’m not an NPR employee, she said, “I’m a freelancer. NPR doesn’t pay me. I’m also not a news reporter. I don’t cover politics. I’ve never brought a whiff of my political activities into the work I’ve done for NPR World of Opera. What is NPR afraid I’ll do — insert a seditious comment into a synopsis of Madame Butterfly?”

Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna, who came under fire for pepper spraying a group of kettled women during an Occupy Wall Street demonstration near Union Square in September, was fined two weeks pay — about $6,000 — for violating department standards.
According to sources familiar with his testimony before internal affairs, Bologna claims he was trying to stop “three young men on the ground” from grabbing officers’ legs, but “missed his mark,” spraying the women instead.
Bologna reportedly said the incident left him “tortured,” but added that he “would do things the same way” again if he had to. “I did not intend to spray the women,” the 1st Precinct’s former commander said according to sources, “[but I] acted with the best intentions.”

Occupy Wall Street organizers are inviting kids for a sleepover in Zuccotti Park this Friday.
Billed as community-strengthening event, the Family Sleepover will start tomorrow at 4PM, and conclude the following day at 11AM. Cordoned off in a special “Child and Family Only area,” the kids will be kept occupied with “arts and crafts, a children’s music sing along, a pizza party, and a bed time story.”
On the opposite end of the community-building spectrum, a special 24-hour hotline has been set up for local residents and business owners who are being inconvenienced by the ongoing protests.

The occupy movement’s next target: Museums?
