POPSS&M Porn Illegal-Real Life Torture-OK! But for our highest government officials, including the ones responsible for this prosecution, we have a different story altogether. In 2002, the Bush DOJ radically re-defined "torture" and illegal treatment of detainees to exclude anything that falls short of "the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death." The DOJ's John Yoo even decreed that the President could legally order "'scalding water, corrosive acid or caustic substance' thrown on a prisoner" and possibly even "slitting an ear, nose or lip, or disabling a tongue or limb."

POPSCelebrity Helps Girl Injured in Prom Night Accident Here's a 'ying and yang' of life story. Jessica Biel and unidentified donors raised a terrific sum of money for an injured teen. The teen had been injured on prom night. We all know the dangers of prom night partying and the number of accidents that happen each year. The saddest thing to me is that this young lady was doing the right thing -- she and her friends had rented a limo so that no one would drive drunk. Sometimes doing the right thing doesn't ensure the right result. I'm grateful to people like Jessica Biel and her donors who use their resources to help people with genuine need.

POPSSeaweed Transformed Into Stem Cell Technology Engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have transformed a polymer found in common brown seaweed into a device that can support the growth and release of stem cells at the sight of a bodily injury or at the source of a disease. Kane and his collaborators, which include the author of the paper and former Rensselaer graduate student Randolph Ashton, created the device from a material known as alginate.Alginate is a complex carbohydrate found naturally in brown seaweed. When mixed with calcium, alginate gels into a rigid, three-dimensional mesh.

POPSHomophobia Rears it's ugly head in Amherst This is a horrible example of what has been happening world wide as so called religious and political leaders keep using fear, hate, lies and prejudice to get votes or shove thier beliefs down people's throats. They do not realize that their anti- gay comments do have an affect on the general population. I know there will always be bigots in the world and people who are not tolerant but it worsens the problem when the ultra conservative and the religious rights are not held accountable for their hate spewing.

POPSPublic School Abuse In The News I realize that this is somewhat of an isolated case, but I include this as one of the many reasons why I home-school my own children. I could get in-depth about why I am a home-educator, but I'll just say that if I am required to surrender my kids to faculty, like this guy, risking their physical safety, peace of mind and self-esteem, I'll pass. But, then, I've been home-schooling for 8 years, so I am in no danger of ever, willingly, giving up my children to the care of the public school system.
