Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | How rock’n'roll fell out of love with drugs: “Young musicians today are more likely than those of previous generations to decry the harm that drugs can cause, according to research in America.
The study, based on an analysis of drug lyrics in English-language popular music since the 1960s, was last week highlighted as one of the few pieces of good news in the annual survey by the European monitoring centre for drugs and drug addiction, the EU’s drugs agency.
The research, published by the University of Texas at Austin, explodes the conventional wisdom that popular music encourages teenagers to abuse drugs. The author, John Markert of Cumberland University, Tennessee, says that although there has always been a generally hostile attitude towards heroin and other hard drugs, teenage listeners today ‘are being exposed to more negative images of marijuana and LSD than older listeners”

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Worms hold ‘eternal life’ secret: “A tiny round worm can live six times longer than normal if certain genes and hormones are tweaked, according to a report in the journal Science.
The worms - Caenorhabditis elegans - had a metabolic hormone inhibited and their reproductive systems removed.
They went on to stay healthy and active for a human equivalent of 500 years, which is the longest life-span extension ever achieved by scientists.
Researchers say some of these findings may hold true for mammals. “

Um…MTV.com - News -Britney Album Preview: Sex, Sex And More Sex: “The early buzz on the new Britney Spears album was that it would be adventurous, atmospheric and above all, adult. Two out of three ain’t bad.
Sure, Britney has a bit of a trip-hop vibe on her upcoming album, just not enough to justify her love for her mentor Madonna’s latter-day direction. In the Zone is by no means Britney’s Ray of Light. Instead, Spears’ fourth album jumps stylistically all over the place, from techno to hip-hop, even to reggae, with thumping, tribal dance songs being the predominant flavor, save for a touching ballad or two. The only thematic connection is the recurring topic of sex, sex and more sex. Oh, and some partying, too.

WEST PALM BEACH, FL%u2014Frankly discussing his addiction to painkillers, conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh told his radio audience Monday that his abuse of OxyContin was a ‘remnant of the anything-goes ideology of the Clinton Administration.’ ‘Friends, all I can say is ‘I told you so,” said Limbaugh, from an undisclosed drug-treatment facility. ‘Were it not for Bill Clinton’s loose policies on drug offenders and his rampant immorality, I would not have found myself in this predicament.’ Limbaugh added that he’s staying at a rehab center created by the tax-and-spend liberals.”

The Casper Star-Tribune: “CEDAR CITY, Utah (AP) - With millions of the faithful around the world listening to broadcasts of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ General Conference in October, church Apostle M. Russell Ballard preached forcefully about Satan’s threat to families and warned of the ”pernicious evil” of the entertainment media.
Meanwhile, 225 miles to the south of the church’s Salt Lake City headquarters, a Cedar City radio station airing conference coverage on a 24-second delay froze up just as Ballard reached the word ‘’sex” in his sermon.
For 24 seconds, the electronically stalled Ballard said: ”Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex ….””
