VIENNA, Austria - Abuse of prescription drugs is about to exceed the use of illicit street drugs worldwide, and the shift has spawned a lethal new trade in counterfeit painkillers, sedatives, and other medicines potent enough to kill, a global watchdog warned yesterday.
In the United States, the abuse of painkillers, stimulants, tranquilizers, and other prescription medications has gone beyond "practically all illicit drugs with the exception of cannabis," with users increasingly turning to them first, the Vienna-based group said in its annual report.
Buprenorphine, a painkiller,
the painkillers oxycodone, sold under the trade name OxyContin, and hydrocodone, sold as Vicodin
flunitrazepam - a sedative sold as Rohypnol and widely known as a "date-rape drug" -
the narcotic fentanyl - 80 times as potent as heroin -

China is the center of the Asian energy security grid, which includes the Central Asian states and Russia. India is also hovering around the edge, South Korea is involved, and Iran is an associate member of some kind. If the Middle East oil resources around the Gulf, which are the main ones in the world, if they link up to the Asian grid, the United States is really a second-rate power. A lot is at stake in not withdrawing from Iraq.Link:

The Etruscan culture developed in Central Italy (Etruria) in the first millennium BC and for centuries dominated part of the Italian Peninsula, including Rome. The history of the Etruscans is at the roots of Mediterranean culture and civilization, but their origin is still debated: local or Eastern provenance? To shed light on this mystery, bovine and human mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) have been investigated, based on the well-recognized strict legacy which links human and livestock populations.In the region corresponding to ancient Etruria (Tuscany, Central Italy), several Bos taurus breeds have been reared since historical times. These breeds have a strikingly high level of mtDNA variation, which is found neither in the rest of Italy nor in Europe. The Tuscan bovines are genetically closer to Near Eastern than to European gene pools and this Eastern genetic signature is paralleled in modern human populations from Tuscany, which are genetically close to Anatolian and Middle Eastern ones.The evidence collected corroborates the hypothesis of a common past migration: both humans and cattle reached Etruria from the Eastern Mediterranean area by sea. Hence, the Eastern origin of Etruscans, first claimed by the classic historians Herodotus and Thucydides, receives strong independent support. As the Latin philosopher Seneca wrote: Asia Etruscos sibi vindicat (Asia claims the Etruscans back).

La radiación metroestelar dubioquímica es generada electrónicamente debido a una serie de macrosupermaxicefalos unicelulares, los cuáles microanalizan la metronización fástica por medio de micromultifuncionadores acetatonizados. El microanálisis de esta metronización fástica puede ser hiperizado o hipónico. La hipertensión es utilizada cuando el microanálisis es hiperizado. La hipertensión es la metodización trónica más importante del género de los hipéricos. La realización de este microanálisis requiere de ciertos elementos y organismos, como los biofastos y los termocristales ionizados, entre otros. Pero hay un elemento esencial: el neofasto biotrónico, el cuál genera ondas cardioquímicas al contacto con las micropartículas megatrónicas. Por su parte, estas se encargan de que no se acaben los medios de vida fastos, de importancia suprema en los ambientes planetarios 5-F, X*4 y X-5,1, que como es sabido, son los más bionizados de la galaxia Andrómeda. Por su parte, el planeta 1,008-43,001-J*15 es el planeta más desarrollado, por lo tanto es el centro quimiométrico más habitado por los macrosupermaxicéfalos, que como hemos mencionado, son los que microanalízan esta serie.
Las micropartículas megatrónicas son creadas por la radiación varítica hipermacrocrítica al contacto con las ondas petromaáticas, que son a su vez generadas a través de la respiración de algunos seres macrocerebrados.
El elemento clave del que habíamos hablado, es decir, el neofasto biotrónico, al estar en algun lugar cercano a los 38.000 grados Faerenheit durante más de 873,4*10 seg. se convierte en radiación metroestelar dubioquímica. Por otra parte, podríamos analizar más a fondo el planeta S-FX*4, que es el más terraformado de la galaxia Andromeda, pero estaríamos digrediendo.
Las coordenadas geoquímicas han demostrado la presencia de cicloneutrones poseedores de micropartículas neonizadas que dañan los glóbulos alpha-5,003 que se encuentran en el cerebro humano, utilizando los megatroquímicos ionizados que a su vez se utilizan en el desarrollo de examenes cardioquímicos y siconeutrales para detectar la presencia de cicloneutrones desarrollando el proceso de parasitismo por medio de las células, que van muriendo y a su vez van desintegrando al ser viviente. Por último las micropartículas neonizadas destruyen el cerebro y sus glóbulos, lo cuál produce que el ser pierda su sicología autónoma y vaya tomando una nueva sicología aplicada. Al referirnos a sicología aplicada nos referimos a que el ser pierde su sicología original y va tomando nuevas y extrañas costumbres, como suicidarse o comer gusanos, pero la costumbre más usual es que comienza a construir bombas atómicas electro-cromadas, las cuales despiden una serie de electromagnetos acetatonizados que, despues, con el contacto de la radiación varítica forman cicloneutrones cuyas características ya hemos explicado.
Así que... tome precauciones. Tome "Vitaminol". Para evitar esas molestias y para prevenir, tome "Vitaminol". Se lo recomiendo... Y para sus niños, compre "Vitaminil", en deliciosos sabores de fresa y vainilla. ¡¡¡Se lo recomiendo!!!
WHAT ARE YOU OPTIMISTIC ABOUT? WHY?
As an activity, as a state of mind, science is fundamentally optimistic. Science figures out how things work and thus can make them work better. Much of the news is either good news or news that can be made good, thanks to ever deepening knowledge and ever more efficient and powerful tools and techniques. Science, on its frontiers, poses more and ever better questions, ever better put.
What are you optimistic about? Why? Surprise us!

WRITING ON WATER
Shakespeare Coleridge Melville
Red for Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Blue for Melville's Moby Dick and Green for Shakespeare's The Tempest.
1
Boatswain!
Call me Ishmail.
It is an ancient mariner.
There was a ship.
Speak to the mariners.
Fall to it yarely or we run ourselves aground!
The ship was cheered, washed by waves.
The harbour cleared.
Blow till thou burst thy wind, if room enough!
The Sun came up upon the left,
Out of the sea came he.
And he shone bright, and on the right
Went down into the sea.
I love to sail forbidden seas.
And now the storm-blast came.
A plague upon this howling!
Have you a mind to sink?
With sloping masts and dipping prow,
The ship drove fast, loud roared the blast, the southward aye we fled.
How the wild winds blow it.
We are less afraid to be drowned than thou art.
Would thou mighst lie drowning the washing of ten tides!
We split, we split, we split!
2
I would fain die a dry death.
Put the wild waters in this roar.
The Sun now rose upon the right, out of the sea came he,
Still hid in mist, and on the left, went down into the sea.
A brave vessel dashed all to pieces!
There's no harm done.
Wipe thou thine eyes.
They hurried us aboard a bark.
A rotten carcass of a butt, not rigged, nor tackle, sail, nor mast.
The very rats instinctively have quit it.
And the good south wind still blew behind, the breeze to blow.
To cry to the sea that roared to us, to sigh to the winds.
I have decked the sea with drops full salt
I hear the last of our sea-sorrow.
3
To fly, to swim, to dive into the fire, to ride on the curled clouds.
Now on the beak, now in the waist, the deck, in every cabin,
On the topmast, the yards, and bowsprit.
The most mighty Neptune plunged in the foaming brine,
to fetch dew from the still-vexed Bermudes.
Think it much to tread the ooze of the salt deep.
The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,
The furrow followed free.
To run upon the sharp wind of the north, like a nymph of the sea.
A southwest blow on ye and blister you all over.
We were the first that ever burst
Into that silent sea.
4
Come unto these yellow sands, with its sweet air.
Stained with grief at ebb, my father wracked.
5
Sea water shalt thou drink.
Drenched in the sea, stained with salt water well fished for.
Full fathom five thy father lies
of his bones are coral made,
those are pearls that were his eyes.
Nothing of him that doth fade,
but doth suffer a sea-change.
Twas sad as sad could be, the silence of the sea.
This ditty does remember my drowned father.
Glorious and gracious in the wind, down dropt the breeze.
The baser currents of the sea blow my keeled soul along.
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
See the sun - I've oversailed him.
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.
What strange fish hath made his meal on thee?
Nine fathom deep he had followed us
From the land of mist and snow.
The braced ship sailed hard upon the breeze.
she rechurned the cream in her own white wake
against the wind he now steers.
My bones feel damp within me and from the inside wet my flesh.
6
Without a breeze, without a tide,
She steadies with upright keel.
With far-heard whisper, o'er the sea,
The stars were dim, and thick the night,
From the sails the dew did drip.
As is the ribbed sea-sand.
Alone, alone, all, all alone,
Alone on a wide wide sea.
Beyond the shadow of the ship,
I watched the water-snakes.
The sails did sigh like sedge
and the rain poured down from one black cloud.
The lightning fell with never a jag.
Till noon we quietly sailed on,
Yet never a breeze did breathe.
Slowly and smoothly went the ship.
I am standing water
I'll teach you how to flow
Do so.
To ebb
Ebbing men
so near the bottom run
impossible that he's undrowned
I'll fish for thee.
7
There's a soft shower to leeward.
Such lovely leewardings.
The sea mocks, the billows spoke, the winds did sing it to me.
Will I have eyes at the bottom of the sea?
I'll seek him deeper that ever plummet sound.
Under the keel nine fathom deep,
I shall no more to sea, to sea,
the master, the swabber, the boatswain and I.
Some men die at ebb tide
some at low water
some at the full of the flood.
Twas night, calm night, the moon was high,
but soon there breathed a wind on me.
Nor sound nor motion made
Its path was not upon the sea.
In ripple or in shade.
A billow that's all one crested comb obliquely from the sea
in the rainbowed air, fell swamping back into the deep
and sank in a shower of flakes.
8
Circling surface creamed like new milk
afloat and swimming.
The weltering sea
amid fiery showers of foam.
Swiftly, swiftly,
Sweetly, sweetly blew the breeze,
On me alone it blew.
The ship went down like lead.
9
My body lay afloat.
Upon the whirl, where sank the ship,
The boat spun round and round.
The sledge-hammering seas
bale out the pouring water as mountain torrents down a flue.
The approaching tide will shortly fill the reasonable shore
that now lies foul and muddy.
This soul hath been alone on a wide wide sea,
and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago.
And I only am escaped to tell thee,
A sadder and a wiser man.
