POPSChemists move closer toward developing safer, fully-synthetic form of heparin processing of pig intestines to extract the raw materials is often done in small, family-run workshops in China, which supplies about 70 percent of the world's heparin. Those mom-and-pop shops often fall outside the normal supervision and regulatory control standard in the pharmaceutical industry. The lack of oversight increases the risks of heparin contamination or adulteration with harmful chemicals, viruses, or other agent

POPSA Painkiller With Big Risks In my line of work, I see many people addicted to methadone and I must confess that it is simply shocking to me that doctors addict these people so lightly. I don't mean to make light of the personal responsibility of the patient, but it just boggles my mind and it is so sad; sad beyond belief. I see 40 year olds that I know won't live another 10 years.

POPSMore Big Pharma, Bad Science - Non-smoking Drug Now, which is worse in your opinion... Smoking or Suicide? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Most would answer ...I THINK I WOULD RATHER SMOKE THAN FOR SURE KILL MYSELF BY TAKING A DRUG TO NOT SMOKE. The saddest part of this is that they (BIG PHARMA) are using our veterans as Guinea pigs in their trial and error tests.

POPSEx-Soviet States, Poland Rally for Georgia Joining NATO Like Georgia, Ukraine and the Baltic states were Soviet republics, gaining their independence around the time of the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. Poland spent more than 40 years as a Soviet satellite after World War II, overthrowing the communist regime in 1989 and joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 10 years later. All the countries involved have sought NATO membership as a bulwark against Russia, with which they have a common border. According to Polish Defense Minister Bogdan Klich, the current conflict is ample proof that the alliance must admit Georgia and Ukraine quickly. ``No country neighboring Georgia would have taken such a confrontational stance had it been threatened with a joint operation from the entire Atlantic alliance,'' Klich told daily Rzeczpospolita in an interview published today. ``The moral is simple: NATO should offer Georgia and Ukraine plans to gain membership as soon as possible.''

POPSRussia: Poland risks attack because of US missiles Whoa! That's some plain-talkin' threats. For me, this reveals how much more serious the goings-on in Georgia really are to all of eastern Europe and to us/US. Poland has been threatened by Russia for quite some time; the missile shield is another point for the Russian authorities.

POPSA McCain Top Foreign Policy Advisor Took Money from Georgia While Russia's incursion into Georgia is deplorable, it should not be forgotten that Georgia's invasion of the independent South Ossetia is equally deplorable. This makes the USA's and McCain's willingness to wink at Georgia's actions inexplicable. It's less so now that we see that one of McCain's advisers had his palm greased by the Georgian government.

POPSVitamin D reduces death rate "Our results make it much more clear that all men and women concerned about their overall health should more closely monitor their blood levels of vitamin D, and make sure they have enough," says study co-lead investigator Erin Michos, M.D., M.H.S. Small amounts of sunlight can make the difference. Though in winter better think about taking a vitamin D pill. Your benefit probably tops out at 2000 IU per day. Though only a blood test would tell you whether you are at the 50 nanograms per milliliter concentration at which benefit is maximized. Aware of the cancer risks linked to too much time spent in the sun, she says as little as 10 to 15 minutes of daily exposure to the sun can produce sufficient amounts of vitamin D to sustain health. The hormone-like nutrient controls blood levels of calcium and phosphorus, essential chemicals in the body.

POPS20 Tips for Success - Kimmons Wilson 13. No job is too hard as long as you are smart enough to find someone else to do it for you. 14. Opportunity comes often. It knocks as often as you have an ear trained to heat it, an eye trained to see it, a hand trained to grasp it, and a head trained to use it. 15. You cannot procrastinate-in two days, tomorrow will be yesterday. 16. Sell your wristwatch and buy an alarm clock. 17. A successful person realizes his personal responsibility for self-motivation. He starts himself because he possesses the key to his own ignition switch. 18. Do not worry. You can't change the past, but you sure can ruin the present by worrying aver the future. Remember that half the things we worry about never happen, and the other half are going to happen anyway. So, why worry? 19. It is not how much you have but how much you enjoy that makes happiness. 20. Believe in God and obey the Ten Commandments.

POPSIf You Use an Electronic Toll Pay System, READ THIS Great article about the use of EZPass, FastTrak, or any other system you use to electronically pay road/bridge tolls when you go through the toll both. Apparently they can easily be hacked and your account compromised. Best bet they say is to keep it in the Mylar pouch it comes in, but most people I've seen have it stuck to their windshield permanently. If that's you, apparently there's also a device you can buy that deactivates it and prevents access to information until you flip the switch. Read the article for more details.

A wider understanding of this phenomenon can affect business decisions, the economy ― and, hopefully, the number of road accidents in America each year.

POPSHello? New laws alone can't beat back risks of cell phone use Put a cell phone to your ear while driving and be prepared for a siren call -- from the police or paramedics. Keep your head down while walking and texting, texting, texting, text ... and oops ... "Emergency Room" may be your next subject line. And if you have kids, don't forget to keep worrying if electromagnetic radiation swirling from their ever-present cell phones will one day call up cancer cells. The risks of keeping in touch dominated health news the past week, leaving me feeling rather queasy. Facts and mandates on cell-phone use across the U.S. were catching up to the creeping, creepy feeling I've had about our societal disease -- call it 24/7 communicatosim. Emergency room docs reported an upsurge in people coming with injuries (and not just sore thumbs) from walking into, or falling into and over, various objects while walking and texting --- things like cars, curbs, signs, bicyclists, buildings and buses.
