The short answer is probably not. The new “gaming disorder” classification from the World Health Organization revives a debate in the medical commu- nity about whether behaviors can cause the same kind of addictive illness as drugs. The strictest definition of addiction refers to a disease resulting from changes in brain chemistry caused by compul- sive use of drugs or alcohol. The definition includes excessive use that damages health, relationships, jobs and other parts of normal life. Brain research supports that definition, and some imaging studies have suggested that excessive gaming might affect the brain in similar ways.

We finally got over this hump.” It might possibly go down as one of the most thrilling state volleyball championships in the history of the sport in Massachusetts, and was more action-packed and drama-filled than a night at the movies. Needham came out strong out of the gate, opening with a 4-0 lead. Westfield battled back to tie the game at 8-8, and then 10-all following a Ryan Murray ace. The Bombers broke an 11-all tie, and went up by two points, 13-11, after Luis James Pavlyuk and Ryan Murray combine on a block of a Castro (4 kills, 64 assists, 17 digs, 2 blocks) lofted a ball to Shane Kiendzior is all concentration as he goes up for a slam Needham shot.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, June 22, 2018: This year you open up to a more dynamic approach. You tend to follow your heart, no matter where your choices take you. Events occur quite suddenly and have quite an impact on your life. If you are single, your intensity and sensitivity draw others toward you. Take your time dating before making a commitment. If DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker you are attached, the two of you find that the unexpected works in your favor. Even if you do not like what is happening initially, stay opti- mistic and unified with your sweetie, and every- thing will work out. SCORPIO could be an excellent sign for you to relate to.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So- so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Deal with others on an individual level. Ask questions, and be more present in the moment. Use caution with money, as you could lose some today if you are not careful. Postpone Mark Buford any discussions about a special financial offer. SCARY GARY Tonight: Loosen up with a friend or loved one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your ability to ask for favors and have them fulfilled emerges. Others often say “yes” without thinking about the work involved. You might be more unpredictable than you real- ize. A friend plays a substantial role in keeping others connected. Tonight: Do not hold yourself back. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Don’t attempt to proceed in a dif- ferent way. You know what works for you. Crosswords Others seem bent on convincing you of the rightness of their ways. What they don’t seem to DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni get is that you have little interest in the topic and are more concerned about other matters. Tonight: Run errands. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You magnetize certain people who can’t stay away from you. Observe more of what is happening around you. You might want to ask some questions before diving into a proj- ect. A lot happens quickly, so be ready to handle an unexpected invitation. Tonight: Let your hair down. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be in a position where you want to change your plans. You experience so much disruption at work that you might con- sider running away. Nevertheless, just do what B.C. Mastroianni and Hart you must and nothing more. Follow another person’s lead for now. Tonight: Party close to home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You often ask questions and attempt to break barriers. You see a situation from a unique perspective. Think before you leap into a situation that is too hot for you to handle. Your frustration will build, and the situation is already high-voltage. Tonight: Listen carefully. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Take news with a grain of salt. The unexpected could disrupt a financial matter. You might find that you have a lot to explain. You will want to be on the same page as the rest of the group. On the other hand, you are more ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie independent than most. Tonight: A friend seeks you out. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your personality has a way of draw- ing admiration from many people. You’ll want to deal with a person who could be difficult or touchy at best. You need to remain steady and secure, as you are likely to find a fundamental belief tested. Tonight: Sort through the many possibilities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might want to review a personal situation more carefully. Keeping this matter quiet will encourage you not to remain calm. Allow greater creativity to flood through your thoughts. Remember, nothing is impossible. ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett Tonight: Take your time working through a problem. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Zero in on your priorities, and refuse to be taken for granted. Your sense of direction comes through in a meeting or a discussion. Extremes mark your day, and as a result, you might want to focus on your changing emo- tions. Tonight: Consider trying something dif- ferent. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Cryptoquip HHH Stay on top of your work and make time for an important discussion. Honor what is happening within you, yet be willing to accept more responsibility, if need be. A family mem- ber can’t express him- or herself clearly, which ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe could be a problem. Tonight: Remain sensitive. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Reach out to someone you care about who might not be as available as you would like. Intense feelings mark your interac- tions, which could change how you see this person. Recognize that you might have put this individual on a pedestal. Tonight: Read between the lines.
