POPSThe Dangers of Drowsy Driving & Fatigue Definitions of drowsy driving generally involve varying uses and definitions of fatigue, sleepiness, and exhaustion. For the purpose of the discussion at hand, drowsy driving is simply driving in a physical state in which the driver’s alertness is appreciably lower than it would be if the driver were “well rested” and “fully awake.”

POPSBecause It's Always Been About Him . . . weight - at the hands of Democrats It's the Blue Dog Democrats in the House who wince at skyrocketing health-reform costs just weeks after having swallowed hemlock for 0bama on a ruinous cap-and-trade carbon tax. He seized on Republican Sen. Jim DeMint's comment that stopping 0bama on health care would break his presidency to protest, with perfect disingenuousness, that "this isn't about me. This isn't about politics. "It's all about him. Health care is his signature reform. He knows that if he produces nothing, he forfeits the mystique that both propelled him to the presidency and has sustained him through a difficult first six months. Which is why 0bama's red lines are constantly shifting. Universal coverage? Maybe not. No middle-class tax hit? Well, perhaps, but only if they don't "primarily" bear the burden. Because it's about him , 0bama is quite prepared to sign anything as long as it is titled "health care reform."

Watch for these warning signs that you might be too sleepy to drive safely:

POPSYawning Is Caused by the Brain Overheating One of the main reasons why the team selected the parakeets for the study was the fact that these birds almost never engaged in group yawning, so they were deemed reliable test subjects. During the tests, they were subjected to three temperatures – one that increased constantly, one that was high, to begin with, and one for control. Examinations proved that the brain sought to cool itself by triggering the yawning reflex when the outside temperature was lower than that inside the body. “For instance, yawning should not occur when ambient temperatures exceed body temperature, as taking a deep inhalation of warm air would be counterproductive,” Gallup adds. “In addition, yawning when it is extremely cold may be maladaptive, as this may send unusually cold air to the brain, which may produce a thermal shock.”
