POPSNew Brit TV show debuts-Torture as entertainment The show's presenter, the explorer Benedict Allen, admitted that he himself had been concerned about some participants' state of mind at times. "We knew we couldn't afford to kill anyone but yes, there were times when I was seriously worried. It got pretty hairy. Two hours into filming on the first day, one of the contestants collapsed on the floor and suffered convulsions. We were stuck in the depths of the jungle in Guyana and we had to get him out. It didn't start well."

POPS'Atomic veteran' recounts bomb testings
Cohen still has headaches, bouts of fatigue and trouble sleeping. He's losing hearing in one ear, he said, as a result of his cancer treatment. Through his membership in the National Association of Atomic Veterans, made up of participants in U.S. atomic and nuclear tests between 1945 and 1962, Cohen has learned that many of his comrades have had trouble convincing the Department of Veterans Affairs that their illnesses were caused by radiation exposure. A 2006 study by University of Illinois professor Melinda F. Podgor found that 90 percent of disability claims by atomic veterans have been denied by the VA. Cohen filed a claim with the VA 10 years ago, and was found to be 30 percent disabled. He received monthly checks of $310 until 2003, when the VA informed him that, because his health had improved, he was no longer eligible for the disability pension. Cohen, who believes he should have received 100 percent disability, appealed in 2004 and has been waiting for his case to be heard

POPSSouthern Fried Bigfoot Well, all I can say is is this: my Dad had an encounter in a rural section of Georgia decades ago with something that none of the locals were able to identify. This was long before the popularity of Bigfoot. I have my own theories as to what scared the b'jeebers out of my Dad.

POPSGenes Trigger Phobias in Kids & Teens I met with Dr. Kendler when I was just a 10th grader in high school. I love finding major research results he has published, as our interests usually intersect (such as with psychiatric genetics in general, and schizophrenia and phobias in particular).
