POPSThe Real Victims For some, it's as simple as a game of Risk with the goodies on one side and the baddies on the other. As elsewhere in many regions of the world it is tiny pawn peoples whose voices are forgotten as their lives are crushed between imperial pincers.

POPSFinding A Personality "In the midst of all this — the comebacks, the wisecracks, the flapping mouth — I had a dim idea of what I was doing. I wanted to be someone, a recognizable personality, a full-blooded, memorable human being, and not just a cancer patient. I had already lost the person I used to be, that healthy, energetic 45-year-old woman. I wasn’t capable of losing more. “A critical illness is like a great permission, an authorization or absolving.

POPSSCIENTISTS SHOW HALLUCINOGEN CREATES UNIVERSAL “MYSTICAL” EXPERIENCE in the 1950s, showed signs of therapeutic potential or value in research into the nature of consciousness and sensory perception. “Human consciousness…is a function of the ebb and flow of neural impulses in various regions of the brain-the very substrate that drugs such as psilocybin act upon,” Schuster says. “Understanding what mediates these effects is clearly within the realm of neuroscience and deserves investigation.” “A vast gap exists between what we know of these drugs-mostly from descriptive anthropology-and what we believe we can understand using modern clinical pharmacology techniques,” says study leader Roland Griffiths, Ph.D., a professor with Hopkins’ departments of Neuroscience and Psychiatry and Behavioral Biology. “That gap is large because, as a reaction to the excesses of the 1960s, human research with hallucinogens has been basically frozen in time these last forty years.”

POPSDeath has a MySpace I have known about this site for a while now, I have to say I was shocked at first. I did and still do think it was created to make money, not to respect the dead as they say. I was interested in how people commented about the video. Most of them expressed their feelings or lack there of, or maybe these days its cool to be crude.

POPSSupremes Blow a Big One The existence of this federal statute by itself significantly undercuts the Court's reasoning in Kennedy. Moreover, as the Washington Post observed in an editorial earlier this month, it appears that the Court's decision invalidates an act of Congress based on the erroneous claim that the statute did not exist.
