WASHINGTON — Gay men's brains respond differently from those of heterosexual males when exposed to a sexual stimulus, researchers have found.

"It is one more piece of evidence ... that is showing that sexual orientation is not all learned," said Sandra Witelson, an expert on brain anatomy and sexual orientation at the Michael G. DeGroete School of Medicine at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.
Wittelson, who was not part of the research team, said the findings clearly showed a biological involvement in sexual orientation.
The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was done by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
The study looked at whether parts of the brain involved in reproduction differed in response to odors and pheromones, lead researcher Ivanka Savic said.

Putin recalls Nazi defeat

Allies' efforts honored history remembered
BY STEVE GUTTERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — Leaders of the victors and the vanquished united yesterday to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany, with Russian President Vladimir Putin playing host to President Bush and dozens of others in a Red Square celebration replete with goose-stepping soldiers, a hammer-and-sickle flag and other symbols of the Soviet era.
At a lavish military parade, Putin evoked the alliance that brought victory but he also stressed the Soviets' huge sacrifice in defeating Adolf Hitler's Germany.
Putin described May 9,1945 — commemorated in Russia as Victory Day — as "a day of victory of good over evil, freedom over tyranny."
"I bow low before all veterans of the Great Patriotic War," he said, using Russia's name for World War II, which killed an estimated 27 million Soviets during nearly four years of bitter fighting after the Nazi invasion of 1941.
Beneath overcast skies, the parade began with four goose-stepping soldiers in ceremonial gold-embroidered uniforms carrying a replica of the red hammer-and-cycle banner unfurled atop the Reichstag in Berlin after the building was seized by Soviet troops a week before the Nazi surrender. Veterans adorned with gleaming medals rode by in green trucks.
Amid strict security that closed the heart of Moscow to ordinary citizens, Putin watched the parade from a podium in front of Lenin's tomb. On the Kremlin wall, the word "victory" was emblazoned in several languages, including those of the war's losers.
Soldiers in modern and World War II-era uniforms — infantrymen with red flags topped by Soviet insignia, tank troopers with black padded helmets — marched in tight formation, the slap of their boots echoing across the cobblestones. Jets streamed smoke in the Russian flag's white, blue and red colors above the square after Putin's speech.
While Russians have often complained that the Soviets' wartime
role is underrated in the West, Putin said that "we have never divided the victory between ours and theirs, and we will always remember the help of the Allies," listing the United States, Britain, France and those who fought fascism in Germany and Italy.
"Today we pay tribute to the courage of all Europeans who countered Nazism," Putin said.
However, he added, "the most cruel and decisive events unfolded on the territory of the Soviet Union." Listing battles such as Stalingrad, Kursk and the siege of Leningrad — where he was born in 1952 — Putin said that "the Red Army put a victorious end to the war with the liberation of Europe and the battle for Berlin."

Right now, the substance is being tested to determine what it is, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office.
Overdose
It's believed that both women were responsible for their condition, Bailey said.
Neither of them have been arrested for possession of a controlled substance. Bailey said.
The incoherent woman was
released from Lawrence Memorial Hospital later that day. The other woman was released the next day, said Belinda Rehmer, a spokeswoman for Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
It is against student housing policy to comment on a particular situation, according to Ken Stoner, director of student housing. No one has been evicted from GSP-Corbin in the last month, he said.
A meeting is usually scheduled within a 24-hour period for residents who get caught with a controlled substance. Stoner said.
He said students caught with drugs can face expulsion depending on several things, including recommendations from medical staff, family arrangements and circumstances that the department knows about, but that may not be generally known.
The status of the residents in student housing is dealt with on an individual basis, Stoner said.
