Fox News contributor Dr. Ablow advocates medical use of psychedelics

DolanTuesday, April 24, 2012 21:37 EDT Dr. Keith Ablow, a psychiatrist and frequent Fox News contributor, on Tuesday decried that fact that “miraculous substances” like hallucinogenic mushrooms or the club drug ecstasy were stigmatized. Ablow has received considerable criticism from liberals and progressives for his outspoken and critical views on LGBT individuals, but he appears to have a more liberal stance when it comes to medically-supervised psychedelic drug use. In an article published on FoxNews.com, Albow noted researchers had found psychedelic drugs like psilocybin — the main psychoactive compound found in “shrooms” — reduced death anxiety in terminally-ill cancer patients.

Google wanted to subsidize a $9.99 unlimited data plan for Android phones

Google trial today, Google mentioned to T-Mobile back in 2006 that it wanted to turn the carrier plan pricing structure on its head by underwriting part of the cost of an unlimited data package. By Google's math, customers would pay $9.99 a month for unlimited data — to subsidize the reduce cost, the company would forgo the commission it earned from T-Mobile for referring Android buyers to its online store. Google figured that its own services — Gmail, search, and so on — would consume about 15MB a month, a figure likely estimated to be far lower in 2006 than it is today. The first retail Android phone, the T-Mobile G1, would ultimately be made available with $25 and $35 data plans, so Google's vision was never realized.

Keyword: space There's an interesting problem with generation ships and sleeper ships that's rarely mentioned in the literature (though I think I have seen it once or twice): by the time you get to the planet you wanted to colonise, it's moderately likely to be already inhabited — by humans who set out later with superior drives.

The generation ship dilemma

With the best will in the world, that's going to be a problem — you've arrived at an inhabited world with outdated colonisation equipment, outdated technology, knowledge, skills; you aren't going to have much to trade that's worth anything any more, either. On the ground, the most desirable land has already been apportioned or set aside for various purposes. House hearing: U.S. now under cyber attack.

Tim Berners-Lee: people would go to prison rather than lose internet. The inventor of the world wide web Tim Berners-Lee said people were absolutely right to take to the streets to protest SOPA, PIPA and ACTA and said disconnecting a family’s internet service in today’s world deprives people of their ability to communicate.

Tim Berners-Lee: people would go to prison rather than lose internet

He said people would likely choose prison than lose their internet connections. Ironically, he was speaking in a country that recently signed into law a contentious statutory instrument that provides court judges with the power to potentially deprive users of their internet access in copyright cases. Berners-Lee was in Dublin today to keynote the 2012 Teradata Universe Conference at the National Convention Centre. In the US, widespread protests against SOPA (Stop Online Piracy) and its sister act PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property) shocked politicians into rethinking the controversial proposed legislation.

Combs, 18, says he's "100 percent sure" he was acting legally when he strolled on Old Woodward Avenue in downtown Birmingham earlier this month with his M-1 rifle strapped to his back, muzzle to the sky. What's unsettling is that Combs is right about what the law says and doesn't say. He was arrested April 13 on three misdemeanor charges — for brandishing a weapon, resisting and obstructing police, and disturbing the peace — each punishable by up to 93 days in jail. But no matter how the case turns out, the Troy High School senior is making his incendiary point.

Relations of benefit description [from socion.info] A clear explanation of the relations of benefit By Reuben McNew [ENTp] In relations of benefit there are two parties: the weakest being the benefactor, who urgently seeks to indulge in whatever the beneficiary has to offer him.

And the beneficiary, the strongest member of the party upon which the Benefactor draws functional energy. In this regards, relationships of benefit could be considered mutual to parasitic, depending upon the emphasis the partners place on the relationship. Usually partners in relations of benefit can form good friendships and remain on good terms with one another, so long as the relationship remains casual and non-serious; trouble usually only begins when the beneficiary invest time, energy, and risks emotional rejection in result of the interest of the benefactor. In essence, the benefactor is the taker of the relationship. Who has the best people skills, ESE or EIE? [NSFW] sex between ISFp and an ENFj?? The SWEETEST SUPERVISION. Jennifer Lawrence.
