At latest count it is over 44,000 dead, and it is going to get worse. Dead bodies are floating down the streets in Asia. I was thinking why the hell didn't anyone know this was coming. And some one did. US. As in the United States. Don't you think someone should have said, ya know, there is this big mother of a wave coming your way.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee please

WASHINGTON - The illegal club drug Ecstasy can trigger euphoria among the dance club set, but can it ease the debilitating anxiety that cancer patients feel as they face their final days?

The Food and Drug Administration (news - web sites) has approved a pilot study looking at whether the recreational hallucinogen can help terminally ill patients lessen their fears, quell thoughts of suicide and make it easier for them to deal with loved ones.


"End of life issues are very important and are getting more and more attention, and yet there are very few options for patients who are facing death," Dr. John Halpern, the Harvard research psychiatrist in charge of the study, said Monday.


The small, four-month study is expected to begin early next spring. It will test the drug's effects on 12 cancer patients from the Lahey Clinic Medical Center in the Boston area. The research is being sponsored by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, a nonprofit group that plans to raise $250,000 to fund it.

Hell, I can buy a pill for $20.

Lots of western tourists were caught off guard by the tsunamis. Nate Berkus, interior designer often seen on Oprah doing home makeovers, was swept away with his partner, Fernando. After clinging to a pole for some time, he had to witness his partner get dragged away by the waves. He is still missing. Along with these two examples, there are simply thousands dead and many hundreds as yet unaccounted for.

The 'pacific rim' nations do have seismic detectors imbedded throughout the pacific ocean to warn of such things. The nations around the indian ocean do not. That caused a major delay between detection and warning. There was simply no time to warn everyone. 30 foot waves traveling as high as 500mph ... many areas were doomed from the time the quake happened.
