Consider joining:Today's Health/Excercise Message:PTSD Linked to 'Hyperactivity' in Right BrainHealthDay News; Oct 28, 2010The flashbacks experienced by people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are associated with heightened activity on the right side of the brain, a new study finds.In research that included 80 people with PTSD (many of them U.S. combat veterans), 18 PTSD patients in remission and 284 people without the condition, researchers used a technique called MEG (magnetoencephalography) to detect magnetic charges given off when neurons in the brain connect and communicate.
Participants were asked to wear a MEG helmet while concentrating on a spot 65 centimeters in front of them for 60 seconds. Compared with the healthy "controls," the PTSD patients showed "hyperactive" communication between the temporal cortex -- the part of the brain thought to be responsible for reliving past experiences -- and two other areas on the right side of the brain.
The PTSD patients in remission had similar but less pronounced brain activity as those with PTSD.
This "hyperactive" brain state occurred even though the PTSD patients, and all the other participants, were in a relaxed state while undergoing MEG.
"Remarkably, the differences we found between the PTSD and the control groups were documented in a task-free state," the researchers wrote. They added that in people with PTSD, the right hemisphere was overactive even when individuals were not reliving a traumatic experience.
The study -- conducted by the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the University of Minnesota -- appears in the Oct. 28 issue of the Journal of Neural Engineering.

Take Action:
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck on Fox News as well as all of FOX NEWS! Glenn has lied about Health-care, called our President a racist, and is anti-gay rights.
- We demand immediate end of DADT. It is out-right discrimination.
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commerical by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to get be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Further, Bill said that McDonalds would never show a gay friendly commercial in the USA. Imagine, Bill is comparing Gays to Al-Qaida!
- Boycott Arizona the home of senile - Sen. John McCain: because of their Hateful anti-Immigration Law that encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform. Further, Their Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and blocked Immigration reform! We shall hold the voters of Arizona responsible!

At the annual Johannesburg Gay Pride at Zoo Lake with an estimated 17,000people attending. The theme was "We are All African"; Oct 2, 2010
Gay Pride, London; July 4, 2010
Little Rock television station KTHV reports that more than 30 gay rights supporters picketed outside of Midland High School in Pleasant Plains on Thursday to call for board member Clint McCance's resignation.
Counter-demonstrators waved Bibles and American flags in support of McCance.
Gay rights groups have been calling for McCance's ouster since he posted on Facebook that he supports gay youths killing themselves.
The posting was in response to a campaign to show solidarity after several gay youths who had allegedly been bullied committed suicide.

DeGeneres to straight community: 'We need your help now'
October 28th, 2010 / Martina Stewart, AC360° Digital Producer / CNN
(CNN) - Ellen DeGeneres is making a rare plea for help in the wake of Facebook postings by an elected Arkansas school board official laced with the terms "queer" and "fag" and celebrating the deaths of gay people.
The openly lesbian daytime talk show host calls on heterosexuals to condemn such hatred and bigotry in much the same way that some whites stood in solidarity with African-Americans during the civil rights movement of the mid-20th century.
"It would not be acceptable if someone used the n-word," DeGeneres says in an interview that airs Thursday on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360. "When the civil rights movement happened, it took not just the community of blacks to make a change, but white people needed to step in and say this is unacceptable. We cannot tolerate this and treat any citizen with lesser value. And, I think, as a gay person, I would like to personally ask every heterosexual person out there who is appalled by this to - we need your help now. This is absurd and he should resign."
Clint McCance, the vice president of the Midland School District in Arkansas, took to his personal Facebook page earlier this week and slammed a recent national awareness campaign sparked by a rash of suicides by young people who had been bullied because they were gay or perceived to be gay by their peers.
The local elected official wrote that he wanted gay people to commit suicide, according to The Advocate, a magazine focusing on gay news. McCance promised to disown his own children if they are gay and said he enjoys "the fact that [gay people] give each other AIDS and die."
In the interview, DeGeneres also tells Cooper she does not think McCance's views are justified by his Christian faith, which he referenced in his controversial Facebook postings.
"It gives religion a bad name," says DeGeneres. "And I think Jesus is - Jesus is the one who taught not to judge and to love everyone. So I don't know what kind of religion he follows, but that is not [being] a good Christian."Asked by Cooper what her initial reaction was to hearing about McCance's comments, DeGeneres says she was taken aback.
"I couldn't believe it," she tells Cooper.
URGENT: Boycott Gold's Gym, Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations and to Proposition 8 (California) to prevent gay marriage. I would not purchase "Blood Diamonds," nor should a person / organization be contributing funds to both Hitler / Nazi's and the Jews at the same time! Obviously giving money to the Jews and not Hitler/Nazi's was the right thing to do. Hence, these companies violated my trust and well-being. They gave money to my enemy who would terminate me from my job, deny me housing and send me to a Internment camp. Therefore, goodbye Gold's Gym, Target and Best Buy! The CEO's of these companies have been insensitive to our reaction and do not even comprehend their actions! What takes so long to "fire" these Neanderthals?
