Little girls love to say that Britney Spears is "omigod, like the coolest role model." The song and video, "Born to Make You Happy," will shut those little girls up. Literally! The message of the song is: shut up and wait for your man because you were "born to make him happy." The video has Britney Spears pining after a guy who doesn't really like her, but she's convinced that he's the only one for her: "I'd do anything, I'd give you my world/I'd wait forever, to be your girl/Just call my name...

It combines both worlds--like a construction worker with a degree. It's a hard day's labor, but at the same time learning about people who lived a long time ago and recreating stories...
...potent revitalizing experience, the Gerontological Society was recently told. Among the hits of an innovative Web course (LINKAGES.NET): a man who says it opened "a window to life"; a woman apprised of the birth of three great-grandchildren; a senior who got e-mailed back: "You are the coolest grandma in California...
