POPSCertify Congo Tin? Lydia Polgreen's story on a Congolese mine is a fantastic piece of reporting that deserves to be read in its entirety. Towards the end she raises an interesting question: U.S. politicians have suggested certifying the source of minerals from Congo, in an effort to avoid funding conflicts. I'm not totally sold on such labeling programs -- diamond-certifying schemes have been another popular one. Money being money, won't military groups cut off from one resource just move on to another? Are there strong examples of commodity certification schemes that have actually stopped a conflict? If so I'd love to hear about it.

POPSThe Mind-BlackBerry Problem - Why we think we can function in two worlds at once?? "If we don't want this two-worlds experiment to be regulated nature's way—by killing people—then we'd better regulate it ourselves. Here are a few proposed rules of the road. Multitasking is a glorious gift. We can't ban it, nor should we. Want to phone your spouse or your office while walking? Fine. The only life at stake is yours. Want to turn on your car radio or music player? Fine. Listening is easier than talking, and you can mentally or physically shut it off when necessary. Want to chat with your passenger? Fine again. Studies indicate that passenger conversations are less distracting than phone calls, apparently because you're sharing and often referring to the same environment.

POPSNo Way to Hide Truth: Cell Phone Does Cause Tumor Oh so what -- we're being poisoned every freakin day -- the flu shots have mercury in them!! <> Face it we are being purposely dumbed down, ripped off, poisoned by food, air, sea, and TOYS! Ripped off by health care medicines, taxes, etc.. All the while being asked to BAIL OUT, FIGHT IN WARS and look the other way while the rich get busted for drugs <> but don't do the jail time -- do serious crimes both financial and sexual and get away with it <> and still want to serve terms yet! Look at Bloomburg -- sure he didn't want Gulianni to serve again (not like I liked him - he's scum!) but yet because he's rich or should I say they -- he's getting another term < > do they listen to the majority of the tax payers NO of course not..
