Happy water….Psychiatrists want to add mood altering lithium to public drinking water supplies to improve public mental health
For decades, it's been the gold-standard treatment for the most distressing of mental health disorders: mania, schizophrenia, major depression. But now, lithium - the third element of the periodic table and an essential constituent of soil, oceans and every living organism - is being heralded by some experts as the next fluoride: an additive with such therapeutic potential, it should be ingested by millions of Americans every time they pour a glass of drinking water. It's a provocative prospect that research suggests might reduce rates of suicide, violent crime and hard drug use. The idea gained widespread traction in 2009, when researchers studying 18 communities in Japan concluded that areas whose water supplies contained higher natural levels of lithium were significantly less vulnerable to suicide./
Happy pill….Scientists find way to erase bad memories
University of Montreal researchers say that the drug metyrapone reduces the brain’s ability to re-record the negative emotions associated with painful memories. In other words, bad memories are effectively blocked from being recalled or remembered. The team’s study challenges the theory that memories cannot be modified once they are stored in the brain. “Metyrapone is a drug that significantly decreases the levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that is involved in memory recall,” explained lead author Marie-France Marin, a doctoral.../

Tepco discovered the pump had stopped at 9 p.m. Saturday but didn't announce it to the public until Sunday morning. The beleaguered utility said it notified the local and central governments of the situation on Saturday evening. The seawater pump was set up after the reactor's original pumps were knocked out.../
800 tons of fish die after sudden temperature drop in lake near volcano
More than 800 tons of fish have died and rotted on fish farms in a lake near Taal volcano south of Manila, with authorities blaming it on a sudden temperature drop. The massive fish deaths started late last week but have eased. Officials have banned the sale of the rotting fish, which are being buried by the truckload in Talisay and four other towns in Batangas province, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources official Rose del Mundo said Sunday. The deaths are unrelated to recent signs of restiveness in Taal volcano, which is surrounded by the.../
