POPSNetflix Continues to Grow Love Netflix. I have the Roku streaming box hooked up to the TV. I've mostly watched older classic movies and some stuff I missed along the way. One stinker was Mark Hamill in 1993's Time Runner. Avoid at all costs. I didn't make it all the way through it.

POPSMagical Thinking vs. Reality amount to $1.05 to $1.38 per gallon, or 42 to 55 percent of ethanol's wholesale market price. Ethanol does not reduce gasoline prices. If you lived in urban areas that used reformulated gasoline last summer -- that's the environmentally "clean" gasoline required for areas with air pollution problems -- you might have paid up to 60 cents a gallon more for gasoline. That's because the federal government required oil refineries to use 4 billion gallons of ethanol in 2006, regardless of price, and gas pump prices last summer reflected the fact that ethanol was twice as expensive as conventional gas in wholesale markets, and far more costly to deliver. The truth is that if ethanol has commercial merit, it doesn't need the subsidy. And if it doesn't, no amount of subsidy will bestow it.

POPSDo Your Homework People I don't get this one either. If you're with a mortgage broker and they're offering you a rate of 7.5% on an ARM, why would you just accept it and not reach out to other banks or brokers for better offers? If you went to a car dealership looking for a car and they offered it to you for more than MSRP, would you just say "ok, I guess I have to pay it?" Or would you say "thanks for the offer, I'm going to shop around and see if I can find a better one?" If you'd just take the offer you didn't like, I'm sure there's plenty of salespeople out there who'd love to meet you.

POPSNASA 'wants to buy Japan's cargo spacecraft' NASA had only just started helping US companies with such a ship. Too late. A reflection of the uncertainty of funding due to the Iraq/Afghanistan invasions. Seeing all that money going to greed and corruption must really hurt scientists.
