POPSWhy We Laugh And Cry I'm the type of person who can laugh and/or cry at just about anything. It makes me happy to do both. Sometimes people can say to me, "Oh, don't cry" but I most often feel and say "Oh don't worry, it's a good cry" and this article explains why it always apparently feels so good afterwards doing either. We have emotions and responses to them for a reason. Use them and we may just live longer, healthier and happier lives because of it! :)

POPSZowie!Very baby gets (almost) whole new body! This was one very sick little boy. I didn't even know they could do intestinal transplants now. This little tiny 8-month old boy got almost a whole digestive tract transplant. Must be a trooper. I just had two organs transplanted in 2000 and I though I was going to DIE. Thank God te parents of the other infant had the heart to donate their baby's organs to someone who would have also died without them. It renews my faith in humanity.

POPSHIV / AIDS Woldwide statistics end of 2006 I find this very alarming. We all know AIDS is there but noone talks about it. There will be over 100 million deaths during the next 10 years for AIDS. I hope UN goals redusing HIV infections will succeed.

POPSThe Girls 'Sexualised' At Age Of Five Researcher Dr Eileen Zurbriggen said that girls as young at four are at risk. "The consequences of the sexualisation of girls in media today are very real and are likely to be a negative influence on girls' healthy development," she said. "As a society, we need to replace all these sexualised images with ones showing girls in positive settings. "The goal should be to deliver messages to all adolescents - boy and girls - that lead to healthy sexual development." Michele Elliot, of child protection charity Kidscape, said: "Bratz dolls are little sexualised creatures which give the wrong message to kids. "Let them be kids. We have got children of 12, 13 and 14 who are ashamed that they haven't had sex yet. They think sex is the be all and end all." A spokesman for Bratz said that children see the dolls as being pretty rather than sexy.

POPSTen cognitive distortions that mess you up David Burns is a pioneer in popularizing the cognitive-behavioral approach to mood therapy developed by Aaron Beck. As someone who has struggled on and off with crippling depression my whole life, I have found this list of "cognitive distortions" pretty useful in reframing certain elements of my thinking.

POPSWhen Men Were Turned Into Sex Machines...
"In the same programme there was also a urologist from Mikkeli, who was admirably honest in describing how impotence drugs are prescribed. He says that his youngest patients have been 16 and 17 years old...nothing wrong with the boys, but lack of experience and uncertainty might cause temporary inability to perform. The doctor says that prescribing the medicine for a young person was acceptable, because with its help, the boys were able to get their sex lives going without having to worry about confronting an embarrassing situation. that the medicine could be dropped later, when confidence with the partner had reached the stage at which performance pressure would not be a problem. There it is, the core of what is now accepted as a sex life. Men need to be capable, and durable. Who cares if there is any emotion involved, to say nothing of trust and a sense of partnership. There’s plenty of time for that later, once the technical performance is made flawle
