POPSIn Defense of Distraction Probably the best article you will read on the subject of internet, the infoflow and attention, superb writing, and of course I totally agree with the last lines, but you will have to read all of it and reach the zen state brought to you courtesy of over-stimulation

POPSYoga for your Face Go ahead and laugh. This really works. Tightens your face and neck. The workout will also relax you like you won't believe. It's like the stress just comes right out of you via your face. It takes some getting use to but is more then worth the effort. TRY IT!

POPSDepression: It's Spiritually Incorrect In the face of such ignorance I say this, a prayer a priest friend recently taught me: "Jesus, save me from your followers." (Or, my secular version: "I'm sorry. My fault. I forgot you were an idiot.")

POPSOddly, Hypocrisy Rooted in High Morals "The principle we uncovered is that when faced with a moral decision, those with a strong moral identity choose their fate (for good or for bad) and then the moral identity drives them to pursue that fate to the extreme,"

POPS"World's Oldest" A team of academics from the University of Wolverhampton have discovered the world’s most ancient gag. Guess what it’s about? Yep. Farts. “Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap,” goes the joke, which apparently dates back to ancient Sumeria circa 1900 BC. World’s Oldest Flute (35,000-year-old) discovered, according to archaeologists, offering the latest evidence that early modern humans in Europe had established a complex and creative culture. A team led by University of Tuebingen archaeologist Nicholas Conard assembled the flute from 12 pieces of griffon vulture bone scattered in a small plot of the Hohle Fels cave in southern Germany. Together, the pieces comprise a 8.6-inch instrument with five holes and a notched end. Conard said the flute was 35,000 years old

POPSAll the more reason to boycott FoxNews It isn't bad enough that the network is nothing but a propaganda machine for the right wing, spreading misinformation and pretending it's news, now they've outright insulted Canadian soldiers; the soldiers that have been carrying their supposedly "righteous" war in Afghanistan, while the US went to screw around in Iraq for years. They stated that Canadian soldiers were already "taking it easy" at a time when the latest 4 soldiers killed in Afghanistan were just coming home. And unlike the Americans, we don't hide our war casualties from the public. Time cancel subscriptions to FoxNews, and contact advertisers to encourage them to stop doing business with this damnable, irresponsible, biased company.

POPSFirst - it was toilet computing, now - bath! Just imagine bending down to wash your toes with one hand, while the other reaches the 'buy' button after you've selected how many shares of Google to buy on fidelity.com. Practically new form of exercise. Call it 'bath yoga'.

POPSMiddle school Girls Gone Wild As a mom of two young daughters I'm fully aware of at how young an age our children are influenced by the popular culture. I only hope that I can impress upon them that it is their minds that are important and valued and not their bodies. When my7 year old joins me to do Yoga or Pilates I always stress that we are doing that to be healthy and have strong bodies not to improve our bodies for the benefit of others. It is my hope that I can give them both strength of character enough to not feel that dancing suggestively at a school talent show with a minimal amount of clothing is something to be proud of.

POPSPurified urine to be astronauts' drinking water I thought there was a problem with purification processes not being able to eliminate hormones. On a lighter side, if they practised a certain form of yoga, they would not have to purify all of it, just keep their own for cortisone.

POPSWhat Women Want (Maybe) “Heterosexual women are responding to women, which is counterintuitive,” Dr. Chivers said. “Why are women so turned on by watching other women?” Straight and gay men, as well as lesbians, were more predictably aroused by images of their preferred sex, Dr. Chivers found."
