"46 percent of kindergarten teachers said that at least half the kids in their classes had problems following directions. In another study, Head Start teachers reported that more than a quarter of their students exhibited serious self-control-related negative behaviors, like kicking or threatening other students, at least once a week.

POPSCanadian survives wilderness ordeal on rotting meat " He tried into the night to pry the ATV off with an axe that he had on the vehicle to no avail. He also attempted to lift it up by pounding animal bones into the ground, but his awkward position made that impossible too. "So I'm in survival mode now," he said.

POPSThe Most Dangerous Medical Mistake As many as 90,000 Americans die each year from medical errors. This is an issue we all need to be screaming about! A doctor I had been going to for 17years nearly let me die while he finished his office appts. He had sent me to the hospital in an emergency, but didn't show up until 7 hrs later to do the surgery! I was 15 minutes from hemorrhaging to death. I don't trust ANY of them!
