POPSFeeling Low Up High: the Lonely Astronaut James Carter, a psychologist at Harvard Medical School, is working on an interactive computer program called Virtual Space Station. With help from 13 American astronauts who have flown on long-duration flights, Carter's team is designing the program so that if an astronaut is suffering from depression or anxiety, or having a conflict with a crewmate, he or she can use the computer for therapy. But doctors have learned, they say, since the days when cosmonaut Lebedev hated to look out the window at home. "The best outcome," says Shepanek, "is that you never hear about any serious problems."

POPSEngineer becomes successful artist after stroke rewires his brain Desperately looking for something to relieve his boredom but with little strength to perform everyday tasks, he picked up a pencil and started doodling on paper. 'I just started pencilling these abstract patterns,' he said. 'I wasn't actually drawing anything, just letting my hands do whatever my brain was telling them. 'I couldn't hold the brush properly yet I just had these urges to draw. It was bizarre because before the stroke I'd never been the arty type. I hated it in school.' Doctors convinced the abstract musings were the result of a rewiring of the brain encouraged Ken to develop his new found hobby. 'My doctor told me following a stroke your brain usually rewires itself to avoid the damaged bits and often leads to discovering hidden talents,' he said. Bachelor Ken started transferring his work to computers and within months had become an expert in digital imagery and had even created his own software.

POPSQuit High School To Play "Guitar Hero" I guess he has a future as a salesman, at least. I find the whole Guitar Hero thing disturbing. Why not just learn to play a real guitar? I guess it's another bent on virtual reality.

POPS'Where Was God?' - Refugees Ask the family found a military convoy that helped get them to the convent, which has provided food and medicine to refugees. Thirty tons of supplies have poured into the convent from the Russian Orthodox Church alone. "We are working around the clock," Mother Nonna said. "We drowned in the flood of refugees." Recently washed children's clothing is strewn across the railings outside the convent, which functioned as a summer camp for the Communist youth group during the Soviet era and now includes a special rehabilitation center for children who survived the 2004 terrorist siege of a school in nearby Beslan. Dzara Kumeritova, an assistant at the convent, said that the refugees from South Ossetia all arrived terrified, most of the children too scared to eat for the first day or two. "Somebody slammed the door and the crowd shivered," she said. The article continues... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26206516/

POPSFormer half-ton man endures hard times
Patrick acknowledges willpower is not his forte. To the chagrin of Edie and Harris, Patrick still smokes a pack and a half of cigarettes a day. He also has a weakness for chips and salsa. “I notice that stress eating is something I do well,” Patrick said. The Deuels moved to an apartment in Alliance a little more than a year ago so Edie could take a job as a school counselor. Her contract wasn’t renewed at the end of the school year, and she remains out of work. Patrick also is unemployed. He said he’s been going through vocational rehabilitation to determine the type of work that would best suit him. The former restaurant manager said he definitely won’t work in food service again. There’s too much temptation, he said. The couple’s only income is Patrick’s monthly Social Security check of less than $600. Patrick also has had to deal with the recent deaths of his grandmother, with whom he was very close, and of a longtime family friend. He said he talks to a psycholog

POPSObama's Hillbilly Half-Brother Threatening To Derail Campaig Since Cooter's emergence on the national scene, the Obama campaign has downplayed the brothers' relationship. A statement issued last week by Obama's top adviser, David Axelrod, claimed that the two lived together only for a brief period in 1981, shortly before Barack left to attend Columbia University and Cooter had to drop out of chicken-killing school because an air conditioner fell on his head. "I thought we would be able to escape controversy by leaving the country for a week and visiting Iraq and Europe," an unnamed source in the Obama camp told reporters. "Little did we know that Cooter would command just as much attention back home by getting drunk with the Russian ambassador, lighting off fireworks, and crashing Obama's campaign limo into a creek in the Ozark Mountains."

POPSBackground on Georgia President Saakashvili The Bush administration, with its broad assurances of support for Georgia, has come in for strong criticism in Georgia for having emboldened Mr. Saakashvili to challenge Russia. But Mr. Saakashvili has resisted the notion that he was somehow taken in. Asked in a recent interview on CNN if he believed Georgia could win against Russia militarily, Mr. Saakashvili said, “I am not crazy.”

POPS30 Travel Scholarships, Fellowships, and Grants to Fund Your Next Trip Abroad
Begin by contemplating where you want to go and potential projects you could build around those destinations. (Or vice versa.) Always wondered how sustainable agriculture works in Guam? How about local conservation practices in Central America? Once you have a clear vision of a travel / research project, begin looking for funding possibilities that give you the most freedom to pursue your goals. When applying, take advantage of the resources and support systems you have. Your school, present or past, will have an adviser who can help you navigate the application process. Writing grant proposals can take a lot of time, but good advice can help focus your efforts. Your school or area may even offer their own scholarship opportunities–talk to your department or your study abroad office. Finally, even if funding from your school or other org close to home isn’t an option, you’ll find lots of other opportunities out there to fund your travel / project.

POPSHeroism, Heartbreak, Frustrating Bureaucracy, and a Happy Ending This disabled Vietnam veteran paratrooper with three Purple Hearts is no longer a man without a country. Wednesday, 40 years after limping home from Vietnam, Rudy Thomas, 64, a Trinidadian immigrant, took the Oath of Citizenship in the Brooklyn Federal Courthouse. Now he is an official American hero. 'For the last 40 years I thought of myself as a proud American,' Thomas was saying yesterday, waiting in the large courtroom on the 2nd floor with 250 new citizenship applicants from 40 countries to be sworn in by Federal Judge Nina Gershon. 'I came home. My discharge papers said I was an American citizen. For the past 30 years I worked as a counselor at the State Department of Veteran's Affairs. My first American-born son, Rudy Jr., became a New York City police officer. He was shot dead on the Fourth of July in 1993...'
