Tune In To This: Weizmann Institute Study Provides Evidence
For A Radio-Like Mechanism In The Brain _http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1997/10/971014043831.htm_ (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1997/10/971014043831.htm) (".... Institute scientists have found evidence that when the brain interprets sensory input, it uses a mechanism remarkably similar to that of an FM radio. .... "We found that certain circuits in the brain work on the same principle as an FM radio," says Dr. Ahissar. .... "The brains of primates contain similar oscillating cells, which are tuned to the characteristic frequencies generated when the fingertips run against an external object," says Ahissar. "Thus, the human brain could use similar FM-radio-like mechanisms to process information obtained through touch and perhaps through other senses as well." ....") _Tune In To This: Weizmann Institute Study Provides Evidence For A Radio-Like M_ (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1997/10/971014043831.htm) -- Tags: brain science, em, fm Posted at: 12:12 PM | 0 Comments | Add Comment | Permalink Scars to Freedom March 28thMarch 15, 2009Dear Friends, After outgrowing our first Scars to Freedom venue set for Saturday, March 28th, we have moved to the Palm Springs Air Museum to accommodate a military fly-over. Our line-up currently includes: Megadeth, Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood MAC, Bobby Brown & Heads of State, and Aaron Lewis of Staind. Additionally, First Lady Michelle Obama will be providing remarks as Mary Hart announced Friday night on CBS's Entertainment Tonight. A copy will be posted on our website soon. Our sponsors to date include PepsiCo, Entertainment Tonight, Rolling Stone, Ticketmaster, Mix Radio 100.5 FM, and KDES 104.7 FM. Both radio stations will do 60-second promos 10 times per day for the 10 days leading up to the event. Additionally, each station will give away a pair of tickets during next week's morning drive time. Participating celebrities include Jack Black, Jason Davis, Brittny Gastineau, Lisa Gastineau, Mary Hart, Paris Hilton, Queen Latifah, Sofia Milos, Michelle Obama, Gary Sinise, Suzanne Somers, Carrie Underwood and a yet to be mentioned major A-list celebrity.

The journal article is attached. Below is a news report on the
findings, oh and GO BADGERS!. Psychoactive Compound Activates Mysterious Receptor Thursday, February 12, 2009 A hallucinogenic compound found in a plant indigenous to South America and used in shamanic rituals regulates a mysterious protein that is abundant throughout the body, University of Wisconsin- Madison researchers have discovered. The finding, reported in the Feb. 13 issue of Science, may ultimately have implications for treating drug abuse and/or depression. Many more experiments will be needed, the researchers say. Scientists have been searching for years for naturally occurring compounds that trigger activity in the protein, the sigma-1 receptor. In addition, a unique receptor for the hallucinogen, called dimethyltryptamine (DMT), has never been identified. The UW-Madison researchers made the unusual pairing by doing their initial work the "old-fashioned," yet still effective, way. They diagrammed the chemical structure of several drugs that bind to the sigma-1 receptor, reduced them to their simplest forms and then searched for possible natural molecules with the same features. Biochemical, physiological and behavioral experiments proved that DMT does, in fact, activate the sigma-1 receptor. "We have no idea at present if or how the sigma-1 receptor may be...

It's time to take another look at the intelligence
changes made after Sept. 11, 2001, and their impact on our
intelligence capabilities and leadership at home and abroad.
It has been three years since the intelligence
community was reorganized with passage of the Intelligence
Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act in December 2004, and
the results are not encouraging. In fact, the leadership
issue has become even more muddled.
The big problem with the new, two-headed intelligence
structure surfaced again last month when Mike McConnell, the
director of national intelligence (DNI), and CIA Director
Michael Hayden traveled to Islamabad to try to persuade
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf to authorize an
increased CIA presence and operational activity in the
unruly Northwest Frontier, a safe haven for the Taliban and
the presumed home of Osama bin Laden. They reportedly
returned empty-handed.
It's hard to imagine that this important
initiative benefited from having a tandem presentation by
two directors of intelligence organizations. A strong
intelligence message in a foreign setting is best delivered
by an unequivocal, single voice of authority. This
leadership dilemma was brought about by the
"reform" legislation that grew out of Sept....

Manipulation and Technology Sadden, Revolutionary Changes Gladden
by Jan Lundberg Culture Change Letter #212 http://www.culturechange.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=245&Itemid=1 Sorry to spoil the Democrat victory-party's afterglow, but U.S. society is still subject to the masquerade of objective news coverage and editorializing that cover up the deepest problems. We the people did not usher in a non-corporate state on November 4th. The question was not even allowed to be posed: how could an election possibly change the socioeconomic power-structure? The pitiful consumer of news is still bombarded with propaganda, much of it appearing to be reasonable. To be tolerant here of a mistaken worldview, we can say the "news" and prevailing views of the media may just reflect myopic ignorance of history, or, the slick jabber is cynical mind-control to try to steer the "herd" away from the open gate of the pen. We are being manipulated by those who (1) have an agenda for status-quo continuation and (2) who surface as harbingers of change that suits their preconceived notions acceptable to those controlling mass media. Example: Clintonite commentator Robert Reich wrote on Nov. 9, "This is not the Great Depression of the 1930s, but nor is it turning out to be merely a bad...
