Mind-enhancing drugs: Are they a no-brainer? Ritalin is a stimulant drug, best known as a treatment for hyperactive children. But it has also found a ready black market among students, especially in the US, who are desperate to succeed and are turning to it in preference to the traditional stimulants of coffee and cigarettes. Users say it helps them to focus and concentrate, and this has been confirmed in research studies on adults. David Green, a student at the University of Harvard, told The Washington Post: "In all honesty, I haven't written a paper without Ritalin since my junior year in high school." Matt, a business finance student at the University of Florida, claimed a similar drug, Adderall, had helped him improve his grades. Some experts have condemned the trend and accused students of gaining an "unfair advantage" by doping, without explaining why it is any more unfair than hiring a private tutor or paying for exam coaching. "It is not rational to be against human enhancement," he writes.
The 6 Most Baffling Nobel Prizes Ever Awarded A whole lot of people complained last year when Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for what was apparently two months of ground-breaking work in the fields of teleprompter reading and ab maintenance. But maybe people shouldn't have been surprised. A look at Nobel prize history shows quite a few WTF choices. Yasser Arafat Wins for Agreeing to Stop Killing Jews for a While We trust you know Yasser Arafat? Did I do that? Eventually he renounced terrorism and became more of an unofficial diplomat, traveling across the world representing Palestine. Oh, wait, no they absolutely did not. Complete cockbucket. What Happened? From the mid-60s to the late-80s, Fatah and its militant arms remained active across the Middle East, especially Israel and Lebanon. Fatah's most famous attack was the Munich massacre, which if you type into Google enough times will make Mossad agents blow through your door and drag you away to "The Farm." And it doesn't look like this at all. There was just one problem.
Night terror A night terror, sleep terror or pavor nocturnus is a parasomnia disorder, causing feelings of terror or dread, and typically occurring in the first few hours of sleep during stage 3 or 4 non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep.[1] Night terrors tend to happen during periods of arousal from delta sleep, also known as slow wave sleep.[2][3][4] During the first half of a sleep cycle, delta sleep occurs most often, which indicates that people with more delta sleep activity are more prone to night terrors.[3] However, they can also occur during daytime naps.[5] Night terrors are largely unknown to most people, creating the notion that any type of nocturnal attack or nightmare can be confused with and reported as a night terror.[4] Associated features[edit] The universal feature of night terrors is inconsolability.[8] During night terror bouts, patients are usually described as 'bolting upright' with their eyes wide open and a look of fear and panic on their face. They will often scream.
Wired awake On April 17 2002, an incident just outside Kandahar in Afghanistan thrust one of the military's least favourite subjects into the media spotlight. Two US F-16 pilots, Major Harry Schmidt and Major William Umbach mistakenly bombed a Canadian infantry unit, killing four and injuring eight. But while the "friendly fire" incident was terrible in itself, worse was to come for the military. In the ensuing legal case, it was claimed that the pilots had been pressured into taking amphetamines - speed - to sharpen their senses. The authorised use of drugs by military forces is rarely acknowledged by officials, but despite accidents like the one in Afghanistan, interest in using drugs to improve performance remains high. It's not only the American military that is putting its faith in pharmaceuticals. Dealing with sleep deprivation is a perennial problem for the military. The effect of sleep loss is dramatic. But amphetamine has drawbacks that are all too well-known. How the drugs work
5 Artists Who Stopped Sucking Out of Nowhere I love being surprised by new things. I don't mean like puppies or an invitation to Hustler's Barely Legal Pajama Party for Vaguely Known Bloggers. More like developments that change my mind after it's already made. It's good for the soul, and a defense against cynicism. That might be hard to believe considering how opinionated some of my columns and videos are, but some opinions are just invitations to be proven wrong. And that's true not just for real world concerns, but also in the realm of pop culture. The video, however, I liked right away. With artists, it's a little different. #5. To me, Neil Patrick Harris was always Doogie Howser, M.D. -- a vaguely irritating boy actor on a show I rarely watched. "I decided to follow up my 'Doogie Howser, M.D.' performance with a daring role as the inhabitant of a chalk outline." The 180 Moment: Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle Sometimes cool people disable embedding. The performance was great on so many levels. #4. One giant, douchey egg-suit.

High, above the law | BBC NEWS When does a drug actually become illegal? As Glastonbury opens its gates for another year, some festival goers will choose "legal highs" as an alternative to illicit drugs - helped by dealers who are using obscure loopholes to sidestep the law. Bath salts, fertiliser and cleaning fluid. They hardly sound like streetwise slang terms for recreational drugs. But using descriptions such as these is one way that dealers in legal highs are keeping beyond the grasp of the law's long arm. On Wednesday, bereaved mother Maryon Stewart is due to meet Home Secretary Alan Johnson as part of a campaign to ban the legal "party drug" GBL. GBL is but one name in a thriving market of legal and herbal highs. Click online and there's an even more bewildering array of substances on offer. Legal highs are not new, but stronger variants are evolving, loopholes are being exploited and the mood among health experts and advisers is darkening. 'Euphoric high' But what do the people taking the drugs think?
Worst Life Ever: The Story of Kazuyuki Fujita's Skull Kazuyuki "Iron Head" Fujita made a fighting career out of having a thick skull. This is that skull's story.

In Fujita's fourth professional fight he faced 260-veiny-pounds of world-class wrestling and emotional issues named Mark Kerr.

undrug.org Get ready for 24-hour living SO MUCH to do, so little time. Between a hectic work schedule and a thriving social life, Yves (not his real name), a 31- year-old software developer from Seattle, often doesn't have time for a full night's sleep. So he swallows something to make sure he doesn't need one. "If I take a dose just before I go to bed, I can wake up after 4 or 5 hours and feel refreshed," he says. "The alarm goes off and I'm like, let's go!" Yves is talking about modafinil, a stimulant that since its launch seven years ago has acquired a near-mythical reputation for wiring you awake without the jitters, euphoria and eventual crash that come after caffeine or amphetamines.

Brain-boosting drugs 'not to be feared' SOCIETY should embrace the use of drugs that boost brain power. That's the message from a group of neuroscientists, psychiatrists and ethicists. A recent survey found that at some US universities, up to 25 per cent of students routinely buy Ritalin or Adderall - prescription drugs to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - on black markets to boost memory and concentration. However, studies of the effect of some of these drugs on cognitive function in healthy people have shown mixed results. "This isn't like steroids and sports... enhancement is not a dirty word," says
