POPSBoy With Tourettes Syndrome Accepted by Marines--Why? This is UNCONSCIONABLE! No Child Left Behind actually has a provision to allow military recruiters to the same kind of academic and personal information that college recruiters get on high school students. Kids who never even exhibited any interest in the military are getting home phone calls, etc. since they have access to this info. You can opt your child out, however...I believe there is a form you can download and submit to the guidance counselor. They can do a lot of mind games with the kids when they have this information so opting out is a good step to take...especially if they are gullible and have a medical disability which doesn't seem to matter to the US Marines..."Anybody for Cannon Fodder"

POPSMaking a Comeback: Male Belly Dancers in Egypt
More: Mesbaah is shimmying in a society that has long struggled with ever-changing limits of social tolerance. A carved relief at a pharaonic-era tomb near Cairo shows today's dance prohibitions were yesterday's norm. It depicts a chorus line of men at a religious festival; each wears a sash knotted on his left hip, a fashion for dancing men and women that lingers today. Male performers were once considered more reputable than females. In his book "The Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians," Edward William Lane, an Englishman who lived in 19th-century Cairo, observed that male dancers were preferred by Cairenes who thought women "ought not to expose themselves." From 1834 to 1849, women dancers, known as ghawazee, were banned from the city. Rakia Hassan, 62, a retired dancer, recalls that in her childhood, males peddled their skills along with women on Muhammed Ali Street, then a one-stop shop for belly dancer hires. Me: Never even knew males use to belly dance.

POPSTHE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!” As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my hand, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes — how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the bear
