I’d been dreading this trip for days. Every task associated with it filled me with anxiety — but nothing ended up being as hard as I expected. And as we walked out of the post office, I felt a giant surge of energy, happiness, and relief. Ah, the ecstasy of crossing something off the list! Even accomplishing the smallest task gives me a little jolt. This is my new Secret of Adulthood: Crossing something off the list is very cheering. (Also: Make sure you know where to find family members’ birth certificates. I was very happy when I found that document in the proper file.)

The observed distribution has an excess in the 120-160 GeV/c^2 mass range which is not described by current theoretical predictions within the statistical and systematic uncertainties. They found a new particle, in other words. Possibly. Open-source chemistry – Nothing beats ChemDraw…apparently…but if you're on Linux, you're stuck. Simply doing a search in the Ubuntu Software Installer for chemical drawing software turns up quite a few results, often with confusingly similar names ...

The sad bottom line is that 8,653 - out of more than 171,300 deaths overall - were attributed to a drug that was listed as a cause of death, according to toxicology reports. Data was collected on various drugs, including benzodiazepines; cannabinoids; cocaine; ethyl alcohol; gamma-hydroxybutyric acid; methylated amphetamines (including Ecstasy); and various opioids, including fentanyl, heroin, methadone, morphine and oxycodone (read the report). However, one class of drugs that has, unfortunately, been associated with deaths, specifically suicide, is not included - antidepressants. Despite curiosity over this omission, Florida officials say there is a reaso...

Then experimental therapy with MDMA, a psychedelic drug better known as ecstasy, showed her a way out. Was it a fluke? By Tom Shroder Washington Post Staff Writer THE BED IS TILTING! Or the couch, or whatever. A futon. Slanted. By objective measure, the tilt is negligible, a fraction of an inch, but she can't be fooled by appearances, not with the sleep mask on. In her inner darkness, the slight tilt magnifies, and suddenly she feels as if she might slide off, and that idea makes her giggle. "I feel really, really weird," she says. "Crooked!" Donna Kilgore laughs, a high-pitched sound that contains both thrill and anxiety. That she feels anything at all, anything other than the weighty, oppressive numbness that has filled h...

When they arrived the patient was still seizing, the report was that it had been going on off and on for over 20 minutes. (At that time I lived in a community with no paramedics and mostly volunteer rescue squads)We swung into action, one nurse put oxygen on the patient and another started looking for an IV site, a third placed her on the monitor while I went and grabbed some IV Ativan, a medication like Valium that we give to people having seizures.When I got back to the room, the monitor was on, the patients HR was 180 and her BP was 224/130! As if that wasn't bad enough, a rectal temp was taken and it was 107! What the hell? We figured some sort of Amphetamines were involved, was she...
