POPSExcellence Unrecognized if a Utility
I'm an Electric Engineer for SDG&E and work in operations. Operations includes hundreds of employees--linemen, dispatchers, engineers, relay techs, and more--who maintain the electric distribution infrastructure, respond to daily outage situations, & work 24/7 should a major event occur (like the 2007 firestorm). I do my job well. I do it with pride and strive for excellence. The people that work with me are dedicated and skilled - we are a great team. We have each sacrificed evenings with family and weekend plans because we understand that operations in 24/7. When I read this story I know we (SDG&E) deserve the two awards. But, will the public hear about this? There's been NO coverage of it. Instead, there's the SD Union Tribune and their one-sided articles about SDG&E & avaricious lawyers seeking gain from acts of nature. I guess it's just part of working for a utility - the CA public has no appreciation for 24/7 reliable electricity. What's an engineer to do, but her best!

POPSTaking Boomers' Last,Late Chance for Growth. <"Giving more money to people when they fail and taking more money away from people when they work doesn't increase work. And the stock market knows it." "An improving economy carries with it the prospects of enhanced profitability as well as higher employment, higher wages, more productivity and more output. Just look at the era beginning with President Reagan's tax cuts, Paul Volcker's sound money, and all the other pro-growth, supply-side policies.">

POPSChen TaiChiChuan 1st and 2nd Forms (Chen Jiao-Kwei variation)
Chen Jiao-Kwei was the youngest son of the famous Chen Fa-Ke. This is his style of Chen TaiChiChuan as demonstrated by Sifu George Xu of San Francisco. George Xu (Xu Guan-Ming) truely can be considered the "Father of Chen Style TaiChiChuan in the United States" because of his enthusiastic promotion and teaching of the art. Also, his system of Six Harmony Ten Animal Hsing-I Chuan is peerless, ingenious and powerful. And he has done a tremendous job of spreading Chin Na, Pa Kua Chang, Qi Gong, and many other treasures of Chinese Martial Arts to the West. The people of the United States owe Xu Guan-Ming a great deal of appreciation for his kindness and his teaching excellence. If you want to learn this style of Chen TaiChiChuan or the Six Harmony Hsing-I Chuan from video sources alone, it is recommended that you buy George Xu's Complete Chen Tai Chi Chuan or Hsing-I Chuan video series available from One Hand Video or from Tai Chi Magazine.

POPSDraft Proposal of the Financial Rescue Bill CRITICAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE RESCUE PLAN. Democrats have insisted from day one on substantial changes to make the Bush-Paulson plan acceptable — protecting American taxpayers and Main Street — and these elements will be included in the legislation Protection for taxpayers, ensuring THEY share IN ANY profits • Cuts the payment of $700 billion in half and conditions future payments on Congressional review • Gives taxpayers an ownership stake and profit-making opportunities with participating companies • Puts taxpayers first in line to recover assets if participating company fails • Guarantees taxpayers are repaid in full — if other protections have not actually produced a profit • Allows the government to purchase troubled assets from pension plans, local governments, and small banks that serve low- and middle-income families
