OPEC is trying to push oil prices higher with promisee to slosh output, but emergency talks on the weakest oil market in years appear at first glance to have backfired. Prices fell about 60 cents a barrel on futures markets while oil ministers were plotting their response to the crisis - a far ay from the days when it would have taken a bold trader to sell crude as OPEC was in session planning to cut its production. Ministers looked glum and said little as they emerged early Tuesnegotiaday from their tions.

After years of failing to honor its production agreements, OPEC may have made the mistake of raising too many expectations by calling an emergency meeting right after announcing a round of production cuts, said Michael Rothman, an oil analyst from Merrill Lynch in New York. OPEC came up with nothing new, and it did nothing to ease concerns in the market that it might not even deliver on its original promises to cut output But OPEC has succeeded in getting prices off the floor, at least for Futures markets the short-terrallied by around $2 per barrel last week and Mondays losses only partially erased those gains. The real test will come in the next month or so, when independent analysts begin releasing estimates ofhow much oil OPEC is actually selling. OPEC was forced into action after prices plunged to a nine-yelow, following the groups decision in November to pump more oil just as demand was eroding thanks to the Asian economic crisis and a mild ar Paul RecerAP Science Writer have a greater carry-ovof negative mood.

For instance, she said, children tend to evaluate their own injuries by how their parents react "Children look to their parents for how to respond to bumps and scrapes, said McGrath. "The more a child is taught to not show pain, the less likely they are to show it" Women also are conditioned toward pain by recurrent head and abdominal discomfort often experienced in the preteen years, said McGrath. An experiment in mice suggests that estrogen, a female hormone, and testosterone, the male hormone, cause a different perception of pain, reports Dr. William Isenberg of the University of California, San Francisco. He said tests show male mice have a higher tolerance for pain than female mice. But when females are injected with testosterone, they tend to react to pain in the same way as males. Conversely, males injected with estrogen become feminine in their pain response. Isenberg said this reaction apparently can be local effect. For instance, when one paw of a female mouse is injected with male hormone, she will react to pain in that paw just like a male mouse while continuing to have the female pain response in the other paw. "Testosterone tends to raise the threshold of pain, while estrogen can lower the threshold," he said.

OPEC got one thing right this time: gaining support from producers who traditionally have been reluctant to sign onto any output agreements. producer Mexico joined a deal announced last week in Riyadh, under which Saudi Arabia pledged to cut 300,000 barrels a day and Venezuela pledged to cut 200.000 barrels a day. The Mexicans said they would withhold 100.000 barrels from the market, and No. 2 global oil exporter Norway got onboard Monday with an equal promise.
