POPSSarah Palin Takes on The Washington Establishment But here's a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion -- I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country." On energy policies: "Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America's energy problems -- as if we all didn't know that already. But the fact that drilling won't solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all. Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we're going to lay more pipelines ... build more nuclear plants ... create jobs with clean coal ... and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources. We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers."

POPSThe fine line between our public & private lives online Here is another article about how public and private lives are no longer being separated on the web. I have discussions about this all the time with my friends and peers about the etiquette and propriety needed online, especially in a field where so many kids can find you if you are not careful. Our behavior online is so important now because, as I have recently experienced, it is so easy for my students to find me online. I have resorted to putting a lot of things "private" or "friends & family only" and am using a social networking blog site that has privacy options. I also wonder about when or if there will ever be a line between private and public life. It is disappearing. Insurance & employers are penalizing individuals who smoke AT HOME and employers are viewing individuals MySpace or Facebook pages. When does it stop? Will it? When is it viewed as encroaching on individuals rights or lives?

POPSPalestinians Relocating to Brazil This is a very generous offer on the part of the Brazilian government. And still I ask--where are the oil-rich Arab countries taking the lead in helping the Palestinian refugees? Why does an economically emerging country like Brazil have to shoulder the burden?

POPSMade in Africa Brand gains Momentum As a brand consultancy in LA with strong ties to South Africa, we believe strongly in the success of a Made in South Africa brand and actively work to promote products from this region. Although not all consumer product sectors have found their voice, the global recognition of our hospitality, music, wine, marketing, graphic design and thinktank forums from South Africa will hopefully inspire other sectors to raise their profiles.
