POPSWorking hard to be genius! "These are stories about people who were given a special opportunity to work really hard and seized it, and who happened to come of age at a time when that extraordinary effort was rewarded by the rest of society." Very interesting. there is a tendency to prefer stories of sudden success, hidden fate, and so on Vs. the ones that mention the hard work it takes to be a genius. i think it is related to responsibility. whereas in the first it seems like it is 'out of my control' so i, the human involved, just have to accept and agree to the circumstances. The latter stresses the point that one parameter that is involved has a lot to do with what one is doing and how much he is willing to prioritize his resources toward a direction...

POPSHurrah for the Millenials! When it comes to policy, Millennials are liberal interventionists on economic issues, active multilateralists in foreign affairs and tolerant non-meddlers on social issues-a profile that most closely matches the Democratic Party's platform as well as the new President's agenda. Their propensity to vote straight Democratic was clearly evident in 2008 when young voters supported Democratic congressional candidates by about the same margin that they did Obama (63% vs. 34%).

POPSGermany’s Green Party Elects First Ethnic Turk as Leader With a conservative party’s choice of Angela Merkel to run as chancellor in 2005 — a successful gambit — and now an ethnic Turk at the helm of an influential party, it appears that German society is slowly breaking with the past, when women were inconspicuous and immigrants’ voices were seldom heard.

POPSDetroit Automakers a Relic of the Past No one in the private sector is willing to pony up a dime for this business plan. GM stock is below its 1946 price, and one investment house has priced it at zero. The Detroit Three are taking advantage of the passage of the $700 billion financial bailout to argue that they, too, need government money to go on. But as Megan McArdle of The Atlantic argues, the finance firms are different. If credit coagulates, everyone suffers, while if the Detroit Three go bankrupt, their shareholders lose their stake, employee and retiree pay and benefits are cut, and real estate values go down in areas where the companies and their suppliers operate -- but life for most of us goes on. McArdle further argues that the capital invested in keeping the hulk of the Detroit Three operating pretty much as they are, unprofitably, will not be available to those whose startups could morph into the Microsofts and FedExes of the future.

POPSA fancy and unduly expensive Neti pot Dr. K. Mehta I got to hand it to you born in India and now an American millionaire in just a few years, how easy all of this must seem to you. A Neti pot costs about $7.00 and can be bought in any health store is far more effective than your expensive product - Sinus Rinse. A Neti pot can be used forever if you don't break it . With 8 ounces of tap water heated until boiling then mixing in a 1/4 teaspoon of sea-salt then set aside to cool is much cheaper and more effective in contrast to your system which costs consumers far more money. And furthermore, Sinus Rinse is far more time consuming compared to the Neti pot.
