STONED SPIDERS--GO TO THE WEBSITE TO VIEW WEBS
http://www.missblackwidow.com/drugs.html
Scientists at the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have turned their attention from the mysteries of the cosmos to a more esoteric area of research: what happens when you get a spider stoned.
Their experiments have shown that common house spiders spin their webs in different ways according to the psychotropic drug they have been given. Spiders on marijuana made a reasonable stab at spinning webs but appeared to lose concentration about half-way through. Those on Benzedrine - "speed" - spin their webs "with great gusto, but apparently without much planning leaving large holes", according to New Scientist magazine.
Caffeine, one of the most common drugs consumed by Britons in soft drinks, tea and coffee, makes spiders incapable of spinning anything better than a few threads strung together at random. On chloral hydrat, an ingredient of sleeping pills, spiders "drop off before they even get started".
Nasa scientists believe the research demonstrates that web-spinning spiders can be used to test drugs because the more toxic the chemical, the more deformed was the web.
The scientists believe their previous work on the goemetry of crystals will help them to devise computer programs that can analyse web-building objectively in order to predict the toxicity of new medicines. "It appears that one of the most telling measures of toxicity is a decrease, in comparison with a normal web, of the numbers of completed sides [of a web]; the greater the toxicity, the more sides the spider fails to complete", the scientists say.
Paul Hillard, spider specialist at the Natural History Museum in London, said researchers first discovered the effects of psychotropic drugs on spiders during experiments at the end of 1960s. The researchers fed caffeine to spiders in hope of making them spin webs in the late evening rather than the early dawn. The result was eccentric webs rather than earlier spinning, he said.

BAN ON ONIONS NEXT
Teens, and now DEA, are on trail of hallucinogenic herb
By Donna Leinwand, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON � Federal drug agents are so concerned about the growing use of a little-known and accessible herb with hallucinogenic qualities that they are taking steps to treat it like cocaine, heroin and LSD, and make it illegal.
The herb is salvia divinorum, a type of sage native to the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range in Mexico and used by natural healers there. It can alter perception and induce visions when smoked or chewed.
Salvia emerged in the USA about three years ago. Word spread on the Internet. And now, teenagers and young adults in search of mind-bending experiences are trying it.
Its price ranges from $8.95 to $120 an ounce depending on potency. It is sold in "head shops," on the Internet and, in one St. Louis suburb, a record shop at a mall.
In St. Peters, Mo., young teens were smoking salvia that they bought at the mall until January, when the Board of Aldermen banned its sale to those younger than 18.
"It's not like this substance is overtaking the streets of America, but I could see it becoming a problem as it becomes more available," said Sgt. Rick Gerger, a detective in St. Peters.
The Drug Enforcement Administration agrees and is collecting information about the herb's active ingredients as the first step toward seeking to have it declared an illegal controlled substance.
"My main concern is that young people are buying something and taking something that we know almost nothing about," said Frank Sapienza, chief of the DEA's drug evaluation section.
But the herb has its defenders, who say there is little information that points to addiction or side effects with its use.
"I find it really bizarre that you can outlaw a plant," said Kim Upton, who runs the Starlight Goddess metaphysical store in Louisville. The store sells salvia. "Even nutmeg taken in large quantities will give you a bigger buzz than LSD."
Daniel Siebert of Malibu, Calif., sells salvia on the Internet for as much as $120 an ounce. His buyers are "spiritual seekers," he said. They must acknowledge that they have read information on salvia and that they are at least 18. He encourages people who take it to have sober "sitters" who watch so users don't hurt themselves while hallucinating.
Even so, he says the DEA is overreacting to salvia.
"It could never become popular like marijuana or Ecstasy," Siebert said. "The effects are not desirable for recreational drug users. It's not something that is fun. It's more of an existential ordeal."

FOR THOSE INTO GOLD--INTERESTING STUFF--I HAD TO PRINT IT OUT TO READ IT
Finding currency in gold price
Forecast sees looming rally in metal, mining stocks
By Thom Calandra, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 11:30 AM ET Jun 18, 2003
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) - Gold's price is on the verge of staging a powerful summer rally in all currencies, boosting bullion producers and their more risky counterparts, exploration companies.
At a $360 U.S. dollar gold price, the metal, since hitting a February high of almost $390, has disappointed investors the world over. What's more, most gold mining stocks have failed to match their formidable gains of 2002.
That's all about to change. "I think if you look around, all of a sudden, you're seeing more than a few mining stocks hit new highs," said Richard Sacks of Phoenix Advisory Management in Chicago. Sacks is a large shareholder in a number of mining companies, both explorers and producers.
This week's money flow into gold companies has taken large and small companies near their highest values since February 1998. These include the largest, Newmont Mining (NEM), and the smallest, virtually unknown exploration companies such as Radius Explorations (RDU), which trades only in Canada.
On May 28, in subscription service The Calandra Report, I detailed exactly why gold is headed for a stunning summer and autumn rally, one that could double the level of the most widely followed gold index, the so-called XAU (XAU), to 140 or more. Such a gain for mining stocks would go hand in hand with a roughly 20 percent to 25 percent gain in the gold price.
I won't give away the store to non-subscribers of The Calandra Report, but here is how I worked through part of my bullion forecast:
I never read Arthur Conan Doyle as a child. The only room I had for Sherlock Holmes was Basil Rathbone on the boob tube. These days, after spending a lot of the past two years mixing it up with the gold crowd, I have a lot more respect for Holmes and the art of ferreting out plausible scenarios. I'm not talking about conspiracy theories, derivatives, short sales, lawsuits or central banks. I'll leave that, for now, in the capable hands of those with far more insight. My sherlocking has to do with gold and its relationship with currencies. Here's what's been getting under my skin. The spot gold price, since early February, has sunk in dollars. Combined with the strength of the euro, rand, Swiss franc, Aussie dollar and so on, unhedged non-dollar buyers of gold have gotten crushed this spring. So what's going on there? The way I see it -- and I'll state this right up front -- gold's price will soon revisit its pre-February trend of rising against most, if not all, of the world's currencies. But the way I want to take you through this is the same way I got through it: by putting on my Sherlock hat, asking some questions, then throwing my biases (far higher gold, the XAU doubling in the next four months) against a group of people I consider among the best gold thinkers in the business.
Let's start here. I am trying to get a sense of what it takes for a rand buyer of gold, or an Aussie dollar, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc or euro buyer of gold, to do the deed. What goes through those heads on the value proposition of owning gold, either physically or through a closed-end fund or via one of the exchange-traded funds headed our way? After all, I hear so much about the purchasing power of gold, how the benefit of gold is increased purchasing power for those who prefer not to own a given currency, or at least prefer to keep some of their wealth unlinked to a currency. Let's say gold sold for about $380 an ounce on Feb. 5, which it did. (As high as $389 spot). Now, the euro was worth about $1.08 U.S. that day. Someone not living in the United States, someone looking for greater purchasing power, goes out and buys an ounce of gold using, let's say, euros. So that investor has to pay $380 divided by 1.08, or 352 euros. Since then, the euro has kept piling on the gains, to $1.18-plus against the dollar. Gold, alas, has declined to $370 spot on the dollar (that was in late May - it's now $360 an ounce). So now, that investor, shall we call him Watson, sells the ounce of gold, gets $370 worth of American dollars, but that's worth just 313 euros. The European buyer of gold (or anyone not on American shores) lost on the value proposition, right?
This means that gold right now -- at least since early February -- is not rising in all currencies, which is what ordinary folks are told is the sign of a bull market for bullion. (And to be fair, during that span, the gold price was not rising in dollars, either. But the losses for non-dollar buyers of gold have far outpaced those who used dollars for their gold purchases.) So what happens to the euro or Australian dollar or rand buyer of gold? When will a gold purchase give them the greater purchasing power they desire, especially presuming the dollar keeps slipping? (Feel free to substitute the Federal Reserve's dollar index for more of a basket-of-currencies approach to this model.) My answer, simply, is only when gold really makes big moves. The $1.18 euro buyer of gold today pays 313 euros for an ounce, of gold. So let's say six months from now, we get the all-currency gold rally, and an ounce of gold is worth 10 percent more in euros, or about 345 euros an ounce . . . and the euro itself has gained another, let's say, 5 percent against the dollar in that span, to $1.24. Gold then, in that scenario, will have risen in euros and presumably most currencies. A 345-euro price of gold, multiplied by the projected $1.24 worth of a euro, translates into $427 an ounce in U.S. dollars. My point here is that gold must rise everywhere, and not just at Wal-Mart in the states, to make it a true generator of greater purchasing power. In my six-month scenario, another 5 percent drop for the dollar is reasonable, given the state of America's trade gap and government spending deficit. Gold must rise significantly, or at least outpace by a decent margin the dollar decline, for the euro (or Canadian, Australian, Swiss) buyer to have had a "winning" trade.
I think that winning trade is just around the corner, and helping it along will be the North American introduction of new trading vehicles for gold, including a New York Stock Exchange-traded fund (expected in July) that will allow investors ownership of physical gold via a real-time electronic trade.

COMEX gold ends higher, withstands euro pullback
Monday June 16, 2:18 pm ET
NEW YORK, June 16 (Reuters) - COMEX gold recovered a second day Monday, losing momentum but keeping muscle tone after a rally in the euro fizzled just short of its recent peak on the dollar.
In fact, the dependable gold-euro relationship loosened a bit, with benchmark August (0#GC:) ending up $2.50 at $359.70 an ounce, backing off a $361.90 overnight high to $356.50 as the currency retreated. The contract rose $3.30 on Friday, having bottomed at a 1-month low Thursday at $351.50.
Spot gold (XAU=) was at $359.00/9.50 as COMEX trade wrapped up, up from $356.70/7.25 at Friday's close. Monday's afternoon spot fix in London was $358.30.
"It's kind of on its own," said a chief dealer. "There seems to be a changing of hands."
A firmer dollar capped gold after the Federal Reserve Bank (News - Websites) of New York said its Empire State manufacturing conditions index -- a relatively new survey and only marginally influential-- rose to a record 26.8 in June, from 10.6 in May.
Selling by commodity funds circled the gold ring late morning, but futures moved back into the black as the trade stepped in to buy before the close.
"We were down at $351.90 on Friday and went up to $361.90 overnight. We had to hold around $356.50-$357.00 based on just that range and we did. So I think you are getting a push back toward those highs," said a COMEX broker.
The euro was last quoted at $1.1841/44, down from $1.1868/74.
It touched $1.1931 overnight, its highest price since topping at $1.1932 on May 27, when gold rode its coattails to a 15-week high at $375.80. Because gold is priced in dollars, the stronger euro enhances the bullion buying power of European investors.
"At some point gold has to trade off its own fundamentals and stand by itself, rather than using the fate of the U.S. dollar as a constant crutch," wrote Societe Generale in New York's morning metals note.
Large traders slashed their gold holdings last week, according to CFCT Commitments of Traders data released late Friday. But speculators remain extremely overbought.
The net fund long position in COMEX gold fell 19,448 contracts to 65,599 contracts as of Tuesday, from 85,047 lots on June 3. Even after the washout commodity funds own almost as many longs as the 66,814 peak from back on February 4, when gold futures hit a 6-1/2 year high at $390 an ounce.
July silver (0#SI:) rose 3.7 cents to $4.612 an ounce, trading $4.57-$4.62. Spot silver (XAG=) closed at $4.60/62, up from $4.57/4.59 an ounce late Friday. The fix was at $4.59.
NYMEX July platinum (0#PL:) was $3.10 higher at $667.70 an ounce. Spot platinum (XPT=) was at $667.00/672.00.
September palladium (0#PA:) fell $1.00 to $185.0 an ounce. Spot palladium (XPD=) was last quoted at $181.50/187.50.

THEY ALL NEED THE MONEY AND THE FED WILL ACCOMODATE
Internet taxes remain in forefront
By Bambi Francisco, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 10:41 AM ET Jun 9, 2003
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- In the digital world, U.S.-based Internet companies will soon have to become global tax collectors.
That means higher prices for customers overseas, not to mention a lot of cumbersome compliance.
Starting July 1, companies doing business in European Union member nations will be required to charge customers living in those countries the value-added-tax rate on digital services.
The European Union's regulation requires the collection of VAT taxes on digital services, a broad term that could affect the business of many Internet companies that sell a variety of online goods and services -- music, videos, dating, subscriptions to news sites or even e-learning classes.
"The biggest stumbling block is determining what is a digital service," said Jon Abolins, vice president of tax and government affairs with Taxware. "The valuation should be, 'Am I selling something that can't take any tangible form?' "
If the product or service is reduced to a digital medium, then it's most likely classified a digital service.
This broad definition of digital service may require Internet companies, which heretofore have been able to sell to overseas customers without the burden of collecting taxes from them, to begin implementing a tax-collection process.
For instance, an online school with a British student might be required to collect the VAT tax, said Abolins.
Similarly, USA Interactive (USAI) may have to begin collecting taxes on EU residents who subscribe to the company's Match.com online dating service.
Music services offered by the likes of Apple Computer (AAPL) and RealNetworks (RNWK) fall into the digital services category as well.
And Yahoo (YHOO) will likely have to charge taxes on EU residents that subscribe to its Yahoo Platinum service. AOL Time Warner (AOL) will have to collect taxes on subscribers accessing its CNN video streams.
What about, say, EU residents who book hotel rooms from Hotels.com or airline tickets from Priceline.com (PCLN)? Abolins says that tickets and rooms would not qualify because a customer is receiving an actual product. But the service-processing fee just might fall under the broad interpretation of digital services, he said.
So far, EBay (EBAY) has been one of the few, if not the only, Internet company that's made it clear that it will begin collecting taxes on the brokerage services it provides sellers to EU customers.
But EBay won't be the only one that'll have to comply, said Abolins.
Shares of Internet companies have come under pressure of late partly due to investor concerns about the implications of online taxes.

WINK, WINK
ALERT! ALERT!
Here Are The Facts:
a. The number of physicians in the US is 700,000.
b. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.
c. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. (US Dept. of Health &Human
Services)
Now think about this:
a. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000.
b. The number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) is1,500.
c. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188.
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun
owners.
FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before
this gets out of hand. As a public health measure I have withheld
the statistics on lawyers for fear that the shock could cause people to seek
medical attention.
