WEDNESDAY, Feb. 22 (HealthDay News) -- Research with hard-rockin' rats suggests that loud music extends the harmful brain effects of the club drug ecstasy for up to five days.
Researchers in Italy found that an ecstasy-linked dampening of the rats' brain activity lasted long after the rodents were given the drug if they also exposed to music of 95 decibels, the maximum noise intensity permitted by law in Italian nightclubs.
If the rats weren't exposed to loud music, the drug's effects wore off within a day.
During the experiment, the team at the Institute of Neurological Science in Catanzaro monitored the rats' electrocortical activity (EcoG spectrum) using electrodes placed on the rodents' skulls. The EcoG spectrum was recorded from 60 minutes before the rats were given ecstasy and the music began, then again for up to five days after the music had been turned off.
Without music, a low dose (3mg/kg) of ecstasy did not modify the rats' brain activity any more than a dose of saline solution. However, loud music prompted significant changes in the brain activity of rats who received a low dose of the drug.
A high dose (6mg/kg) of ecstasy alone caused a reduction in the rats' brain activity and that effect was enhanced when loud music was played and lasted for up to five days. The brain activity of rats that received a high dose of the drug but were not exposed to loud music returned to normal within a day.
Rats that received saline solution and were exposed to loud music showed no changes in brain activity.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court, with Chief Justice John Roberts dissenting, upheld Oregon's one-of-a-kind physician-assisted suicide law Tuesday, rejecting a Bush administration attempt to punish doctors who help terminally ill patients die. Justices, on a 6-3 vote, said that federal authority to regulate doctors does not override the 1997 Oregon law used to end the lives of more than 200 seriously ill people. New Chief Justice John Roberts backed the Bush administration, dissenting for the first time. Tue, Jan. 17th, 2006, 12:52 pm
The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why I didn't get more meat, I'll just say, Oh, you mean this? and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where I've hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?

i am going to prove froid wrong Fri, Jan. 6th, 2006, 09:45 am TRUTH
right, can we all just agree that people can't cast spells and astrology is bullshit? While we're at it, let's stop using the phrase "I'm not religious, I'm spiritual." Every time I hear anyone call themselves "spiritual," it's just after they mention astrology and just before I land a flying elbow to their ovaries (as anyone who believes in astrology is undoubtedly a woman who needs to be punched in the crotch). Most people who read horoscopes also buy into other new age crap like tarot cards and self-healing.
Self healing? Self healing was perfected by Rambo in Rambo: First Blood when he stitched his arm shut after he cracked a kid's back while jumping off a cliff (and the only reason his arm split open was because he's so tough he wanted to make the bad guys think they had a chance, but yeah right.. it was like Rambo sent them all Christmas cards, but instead of cards it was murder).
The other thing that pisses me off about horoscopes is that some people make financial decisions based off them. Re-read that sentence a few times until the implications set in. Yes, there are mouth-breathers out there who literally believe clumps of rocks and dirt floating around pockets of gas have anything to do with their stocks and lottery winnings. Ever notice how people ask you what sign you are and always say "I knew it" only after you tell them which one? That's because they're full of shit. It doesn't matter what sign you tell them you are, they'll always say "yeah, you're totally a [fill in asinine symbol], I can tell." No, you can't tell because you're an idiot. I hate it when people ask me what "sign" I am. Astrological signs are based off arbitrary Zodiac symbols drawn by people who also believed that light from stars came from vents on burning chariot wheels. I mean, do you people even read this shit? Here's a sample horoscope I found on some sap-magnet website:
Creative energy, especially involving writing or speaking, could be overflowing within you today. Ideas could be coming thick and fast, dear Leo. You might want to call some old friends and discuss your thoughts with them.
Creative energy? What the hell is creative energy? Also, notice how the tone is set by the use of "...dear Leo," as if some ancient sage (aka, fat "Lord of the Rings" nerd) was addressing a dear old friend (that would be you, the lonely house wife), at which point you would feel vindicated in spending $19.95 on your newly acquired Brazilian power crystal, just as an executive from a psychic hotline does a line of coke off a hooker's ass with the millions he's raked in from morons like you.
I especially like the "could be overflowing" part, which covers the astrologer's ass in the unlikely event that the horoscope was horse shit and has nothing to do with anyone or anything in the universe. Of course, that would constitute fraud, so thankfully we have the doctrine of uncertainty to protect psychics everywhere from malpractice lawsuits. Otherwise an entire industry of aging hippies and their clientele comprised of middle-class 16 year old girls and bored house wives trudging aimlessly from one rebellious new-age religion to the next would have to find a new hobby. Who knows? They might even get jobs. Thu, Jan. 5th, 2006, 03:41 pm

well, im home for the thanksgiving weekend
so far
kinda good stuff/alot of bad stuff
me and dani broke up
I dont know what i did wrong, i wrote her as much as i could, i would try to get on a computer at jobcore but they would always be filled, i gave her as much attention as i could
when i got here from jobcore she was the first person i hung out with ( i had to grab my id from brandon so i couldnt say she was the first person i had seen) I missed her so incredibly, I miss her even now, we talked last in my car and im just confused on whats happening
i hear from people that she likes some brandon kid i told her do what makes her happy I know being away from her for awhile would be hard but in her emails she would send me hope and motivation, yet when i get here its the opposite...
idk, maybe i didnt call her enough? wrote her enough? i called her abit ago because i told her all of what i was thinking in the car at the time
which was alot, because i think of her constantly, I am just confused so badly right now...should i try for her still, or just give up? I know i dont want to give up, i like her so much, she makes me so happy, but i guess it just wont work....I dont know...*sigh* i thought it would work, i was and still am all for it, i hope that dani calls me today and asks to hang out and we talk about everything, but im pretty sure that what she wants isnt me...so idk...for now i resolve to a state of depressing confusion until the smoke clears, which will hopefully be later tonight...
until then, confused, lost, struggling, Sean Mon, Nov. 7th, 2005, 03:58 pm hey people
hey i have computer class now, so i can now be on the internet for a bit longer :) awesome Dani, i didnt know u emailed me, u made my heart ache when i was reading them, i missed you so much and now i miss you even more!!!!!!!!!
