POPSWhat's The Scoop? Math is more fun when you challenge students with thematic situations. Who can resist ice cream, for example? Each scoop includes one element of an equation--the cone includes the answer! This bulletin board idea came from The Giant Book of Bulletin Boards (Creative Teaching Press).

POPSSquare Enix's Next Fantasy: Owning Tecmo 'Tis the season for videogame industry consolidation. Analysts and industry experts continue to point out that that's the theme in the current growth cycle. Big companies will continue to snap up little companies (allowing more indies and veteran-helmed start-ups to flourish) for the foreseeable future. I personally don't spend much time following the Japanese market (outside a few key players of course), but from a snap judgment assessment, it seems like a good pairing. It would give Square Enix's limited portfolio of games outside the role-playing genre a boost, and it would also provide a safety net for Tecmo, which recently lost its rock star Tomonobu Itagaki ("Ninja Gaiden"). The real question: Is Tecmo worth acquiring sans-Itagaki?

POPSPhelps Swam into History as the Winningest Olympic Athlete Ever He finished in 1:52.03, breaking his mark of 1:52.09 from the 2007 worlds. Phelps barely smiled as he looked at the board, breathing heavily and hanging on the lane rope. Hungary's Laszlo Cseh really pushed it at the end, but settled for silver in 1:52.70. Japan's Takeshi Matsuda took the bronze in 1:52.97. Phelps rubbed his eyes and said climbing from the pool, "I can't see anything." A pair of leaky goggles kept him from even seeing the wall as he touched. "My goggles kept filling up with water during the race," Phelps said. "I wanted 1:51 or better." Still, he had two more golds and two more records before lunchtime, leaving him just three wins away from beating Spitz's record in the 1972 Munich Games. "There is nobody in our sport that can win like he wins," U.S. head coach Eddie Reese said. "He is not just winning, he is crunching world records."

POPSBeijing Psyops Prepare Olympic Athletics For Brutal Smog Despite traffic restrictions put in place to reduce pollution, the city's air combined with warm temperatures and high humidity could create "a soupy mix of harmful chemicals, particulate matter and water vapor." Before we start eviscerating the U.S. economy with carbon trading, perhaps we could get China on board some sort of cleanup program since it has 16 of the top 20 polluted cities in the world.

POPSGuide to the Girls of Summer
Her shoes are hot in Serbia, her dress is hot in France, and she’s hot in your brain. She knows she’s a knockout as she struts her stuff into Starbucks and then off to learn Kabbalah while sporting sun glasses that double as a motorcycle helmet. Woo her with celebrity gossip and a borderline gay knowledge of fashion designer’s names. The Illusionist She’s got you ball-parking her age at anywhere between 14 and 32. She’s got you telling your friend’s she’s the hottest girl you’ve ever seen as long as she isn’t capable of sending you to jail on dates. The rule of thumb is this: if she’s got the best body you’ve ever seen then she’s too young, as any girl your age has had a few years of binge drinking and a few trips on the boyfriend express to leave her a little bit like a second hand pair of rollerblades- you can still roll but the wheels are a little worn down. Woo the young one with Milton Bradley board games and Miley Cyrus on your iPod. The Walk of Shame Girl She’s the girl
