POPSLongest Serving Monach-In-Waiting Turns 60 There were media reports of an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, now Charles' second wife. And then the tragic death of Diana in a car accident in Paris. Now, at 60, he seems happily remarried and is clearly proud of his two grown sons, both popular royals in their own right. During six decades he has carved a niche as one of Britain's leading charity patrons, raising around $150 million a year for 20 charities. "People do pay attention," said Fitzwilliams. "There are jokes about his talking to plants, but he has earned the right to be taken seriously." Prince Charles, asked in a recent BBC interview how he defined his role as prince, said, "I didn't. I made it as I went along as you have probably seen."

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.

POPSPray The Devil Back To Hell "Compellingly put together, "Pray the Devil Back to Hell" tells the story of how, from these humble beginnings, this large group of women went from strength to strength and gradually changed the direction of the country, even going so far as to attend peace talks in Ghana and to force the opposing parties to stay at the table."

POPSNovember 11: The Charlie Brown story.. wonderful war story This true story, untold for years and years, has become somewhat of a legend in recent years since pilot Lt. Charles Brown actually met Franz Stigler, the German pilot who, instead of shooting down Charlie Brown, led his crippled bomber back to England. Another wonderful calendar-driven story from Eric "CalendarWallah" Snyder. I love to use the Multicultural calendar to bring the richness and realities of history to life.

POPSRocky Marciano
I remember that fight! full story @ source. Born in Brockton in 1923, Marciano held the heavyweight title for four years in the 1950s and is the only champion to have retired undefeated, at 49-0. Marciano died in a plane crash outside of Des Moines in 1969.The WBC had recently announced that the commission voted to erect a Marciano statue in Boston, to pay homage to the late heavyweight boxing champ. In a letter last week to Menino, Sulaiman said the WBC would pay for a large sculpture twice the size (he was 5 feet 11 inches, 184 pounds) of the Brockton Blockbuster, but it needed a site in Boston. The WBC said it picked Boston so the statue could draw attention from more visitors to a champion who "left his name with golden letters in the history of the sport of boxing.The WBC had recently announced that the commission voted to erect a Marciano statue in Boston, to pay homage to the late heavyweight boxing champ.

POPSObama’s CHANGE.GOV Site Has, uh, Changed Quite A Bit $4,000 in value for 100 hours is $40 an hour, tax-free. For most students, because they pay no federal income tax, this will amount to an annual handout of $4,000 less the value of the service they provide (bravely assuming that it’s productive), which would be at most the private-sector equivalent of about $12 an hour with benefits, or $1,200. Space doesn’t permit me to go into all of the mind-boggling distortions this would lead to, but here’s a start (some information was obtained from the tables listed at this page at collegeboard.com): How do you manage a program with the equivalent of almost 4 million 400,000 full-time employees efficiently and effectively? Wal-Mart, which is I believe the nation’s largest employer, has 2.1 million employees. (Ironic/never happen suggestion of the day: Maybe Uncle Sam should outsource program administration to Wal-mart. At least they might keep it under control).
