POPSPolice Told: Don't Ask For 'Christian' Names, It Offends You know what offends me the most? Someone else making all these politically correct decisions because someone like me MIGHT be offended. I can speak for myself, thank you. It's this PC nitpicking that creates the real problems, getting folks ticked off at the non-mainstream when we haven't even been "in the loop" on this type of moronic policy-making.

POPSWhat happened to Gavin Newsom's 'stop state raids' rhetoric? Words fall well on deaf ears. http://bit.ly/axdYxI "Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University, a Christian college in Virginia, says Jesus wasn't interested in politics. He says that those pastors who preach economic and social justice "are trying to twist the gospel to say the gospel supported socialism." "Jesus taught that we should give to the poor and support widows, but he never said that we should elect a government that would take money from our neighbor's hand and give it to the poor," Falwell says.

POPSKids, Soccer Balls and the Unintended Consequences of Good Decisions | 3BL Media Several years ago, I attended a forum in Washington, DC on supply chain responsibility. At the time, I was managing corporate social and environmental responsibility communications for two different clients, both with vast, global supply chains. Supplier responsibility was an area of constant focus and opportunity for these companies. The forum was a quiet, routine affair as these things go, and polite. I saw a few participants looking a bit sleepy at the end of one session in particular " where representatives from three Fortune 500 multi-nationals spent the better part of an hour outlining the steps their companies had taken to eliminate child labor from their supply chains (the inspections and audits, on the ground partnerships, tracking and reporting).

POPSODDS ARE, IT'S WRONG:Science fails to face the shortcomings of statistics Science's dirty little secret.'Statistical tests are supposed to guide scientists in judging whether an experimental result reflects some real effect or is merely a random fluke, but the standard methods mix mutually inconsistent philosophies and offer no meaningful basis for making such decisions. Even when performed correctly, statistical tests are widely misunderstood and frequently misinterpreted. As a result, countless conclusions in the scientific literature are erroneous, and tests of medical dangers or treatments are often contradictory and confusing.'

POPSObama Administration Unveils 'Cash for Codgers' Program; Throw Granny Under The Bus
health care bill contains no provision setting up such a panel. What both outlets fail to point out is that the panel already exists. H.R.1 commonly known as the Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Effective February 17, 2009 even more commonly known as the Stimulus Bill and aptly dubbed the Porkulus Bill contains a whopping $1.1 billion to fund the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research. The Council is the brain child of former Health and Human Services Secretary Nominee Tom Daschle. Before the Porkulus Bill passed, Betsy McCaughey, former Lieutenant governor of New York, wrote in detail about the Council's purpose. Daschle's stated purpose (and therefore President Obama's purpose) for creating the Council is to empower an unelected bureaucracy to make the hard decisions about health care rationing that elected politicians are politically unable to make. The end result is to slow costly medical advancement and consumption.

POPSTuer le gros bon sens? Article intéressant, seul point qui me démange, cette partie qui va un peu à l'encontre du vieil adage: "la valeur n'attend pas le bombre des années": "Il mène à ce que l’on n’accorde aucune créance aux hommes dont le jugement est garanti par une longue expérience, et à se fier à des individus médiocres et neufs qui font toutes sortes de promesses sans connaître ce dont ils parlent." Mais j'irais plus loin encore sur cette très belle reflexion sur une société qui peut ériger et détruire une idole venue de nulle part en 15min, le temps d'une interpretation musicale à la TV ou une dance en lingerie sur Youtube; temps où un président peut avoir une pensée manichéenne sur le bien et le mal et emener tout le monde en guerre avec lui; ou temps où le citoyen lambda a autant de temps d'antenne que le PhD pour donner son opinion sur la crise économique. Mais bon, comment tuer le gros bon sens lorsque les gens se complaisent à le voir se démener sur l'arène

POPSInformal or collaborative learning will be/is the lifeblood of today's business environment...
This post by Jay Cross resonates with a recent experience I had when I was at a client site in the USA. I have amplified the section that closely reflects my experience. The organization is in the process of moving from an ILT environment to a primarily e-learning one where "e" stands for anything web-based, accessible via the computer (not necessarily custom e-learning courses). I was glad to discover through my interactions with the CIO and the senior VP of training that they had already considered training (read learning) as a competitive advantage for the organization. They had also considered use of Web 2.0 apps like wiki and forums for knowledge sharing and learning. The CIO, an especially astute individual, had also defined the parameters where he believed traditional, bespoke e-learning was the key vs. the need for "on the fly" user generated content that would feed into the overall learning of the organization. Some of the circumstances we discussed where "info

POPSThe Police Aren’t Legally Obligated To Protect You the government owes no duty to protect individual citizens from criminal attack. Not only did the California courts hold to that rule, the California legislature had enacted a statute to make sure the courts couldn’t change the rule. But this doesn’t apply to just the wild, upside down world of California. Stevens cites laws and cases for every state — plus Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Canada — which reveal the same thing. If the police fail to protect you, even through sheer incompetence and negligence, don’t expect that you or your next of kin will be able to sue.

POPSLabour silent on its own indiscretions Why has this story any resonance for the people of Blackpool and the surrounding district? Because I listen to these people daily?!?!? Blackpool is the New Capitol of Scotland and the emigrants from that beautiful country now exercise their ancient bigotry in the pubs and clubs of Blackpool. Everything in wonderful Scotland is 'perfect'. Why then do so many leave and not stay in the wonderful Shangri-la of their twisted imaginations? It is because it is rotten to the core and those isolated voices w3ho do speak out are ostracised and vilified by pressure groups like political parties.

POPSTexas Education Board Approves Conservative Curriculum Changes By Far-Right Decisions by the board – made up of lawyers, a dentist and a weekly newspaper publisher among others – can affect textbook content nationwide because Texas is one of publishers' biggest clients. Ultraconservatives wielded their power over hundreds of subjects this week, introducing and rejecting amendments on everything from the civil rights movement to global politics. Hostilities flared and prompted a walkout Thursday by one of the board's most prominent Democrats, Mary Helen Berlanga of Corpus Christi, who accused her colleagues of "whitewashing" curriculum standards. By late Thursday night, three other Democrats seemed to sense their futility and left, leaving Republicans to easily push through amendments heralding "American exceptionalism" and the U.S. free enterprise system, suggesting it thrives best absent excessive government intervention.

POPSPLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE RULED CONSTITUTIONAL
In a separate case brought by Newdow, the appeals court ruled today that printing the motto “In God We Trust” on U.S. currency and coins is also constitutional. Newdow first sued the school district over the pledge in 2000. Ruling that Newdow lacked the right to sue in that case, the U.S. Supreme Court in 2004 reversed a decision from the appeals court in his favor. He sued a second time along with a student in the school system, winning in the district court after arguing his own case. Patriotic Exercises Justice Department lawyers had argued that previous Supreme Court decisions permit patriotic exercises such as reading the Declaration of Independence and singing the national anthem. In Newdow’s first lawsuit, the Bush administration defended the use of the phrase “one nation under God,” claiming it acknowledged the role that faith played in the founding of the country. Newdow didn’t immediately return voice-mail and e-mail messages seeking comment. The pledg
