POPSText RSS on PSP? If true, the text RSS feature could allow for greater intergration of news, weather and 'this day in...' updates. History Teachers could have students update the RSS feed so they can find out and discuss events in the past that occured in that day in History. History teachers might use the information to spark off debate or as a opening to a lesson. There are many This Day in... sites for all sorts of topics ranging from Maths to Science. I will definately be exploring the possibilities when this comes to pass. The screen capture could be a great asset to a teacher trying to sell the idea of PSP use in the classroom, as they could show actual usage alongside proposals.

POPSBushco wrote war pitch BEFORE knowing intel National Security Archive reports the Bush-Cheney White paper "justifying" the invasion was developed a full three months in advance of the intelligence data and analysis that should have served as the basis for that justification; then doctored NIE report to agree with their own White Paper. Only imminent threat mentioned was the possibility of Iraqi terrorism in USA if Saddam regime was threatened - but Bushco deleted it before giving the report to Congress.

POPSIncome vs. Gas Prices, an Update It seems that some Americans are now spending twice as much of their household income for gasoline as they were in 1999. That is a serious number. I believe that median household income is around $48,000 right now. So those Americans are spending about $5500 a year on gasoline. To me that is a scary number. This also explains why you can no longer get a parking spot at the Tri-Rail parking lot in Delray Beach. Well if you get there before 6:30 AM I suppose you can. This does not bode well for the economy. Let's see: drive, ride the bike or give up beer?

POPSPsychology, Sociology most politically correct fields The first thing that Simmons does in the study with the database — which covers a range of disciplines and institution types — is to identify a politically correct cohort, reflecting largely common views on a set of issues that are seen as defining political correctness. He finds a set of issues that produce this cohort. The views are the belief that gender gaps in math and science fields are largely due to discrimination; support for affirmative action; and belief that discrimination is a key cause of racial inequities in American society. Generally, members of this cohort see race and gender as fundamental — and share that belief much more than beliefs about the curriculum or scholarship, such that the study says that “multiculturalism trumps postmodernism.” Via Tyler Cowen

POPSPhone Sex Operators “I am a straight male who speaks to women. They want me. They want me to talk to them, and to take them to another world. I’m good at it. I’m a pro. A ladies man. I speak to younger women. I speak to older women. I speak both Spanish and English. I have been thrown offers left and right. They want me to meet up and have my way with them, but I keep it only to phone conversations.” A quote from the male operator some of the stories from the operators were very funny and gross - Hmm..I think my job was not bad after all.......
