POPSWhere Have All the Sunspots Gone? If the world does face another mini Ice Age, it could come without warning. Evidence for abrupt climate change is readily found in ice cores taken from Greenland and Antarctica. Could something like this happen again? There’s no way to tell, and because the changes can happen all within one decade—we might not even see it coming. Sorokhtin believes that a lack of sunspots does indicate a coming cooling period based on certain past trends and early records. In fact, he calls manmade climate change "a drop in the bucket" compared to the fierce and abrupt cold that can potentially be brought on by inactive solar phases. Sorokhtin’s advice: "Stock up on fur coats"…just in case.

POPSHow obama got elected... The most misinformed voters in history. Its truly sad when the reasons for voting for someone come down to their skin color or the media hype. Be sure to go to the page and read the telephone polls conducted and the responses to the process. A quote from one of the links defending the legitimacy of the poll: "We went out of our way to find articulate people who thought they were informed about the election. I did not even choose the subjects (for whatever it is worth, they were chosen by a black female)"

POPSSocial Interactions Can Alter Gene Expression In Brain, And Vice Versa A critical insight came in 1992, in a study of songbirds led by David Clayton. He and his colleagues found that expression of a specific gene increases in the forebrain of a zebra finch or canary just after it hears a new song from a male of the same species. This gene, egr1, codes for a protein that itself regulates the expression of other genes.

Ok,you've seen the clip and hopefully heard about what Jack's character bigottedly had to say about "the black chappies".I'm not asking you to think like his character; just to pay attention to his insight into the thug mentality.Now think about the thugs of ACORN that you've been seeing and hearing about in the news,the terrorist thug associations of Obama(Ayers,Khalidi,Al Mansour,Asbahi,Odinga,and the list goes on...look them up),the Marxist Black Radical Theology that Obama was so happily involved in for 20 years,the interviews(so many and so varied) revealing so many aspects why he should be rejected by American voters for their safety...Taxes(now it's down to 150,000 dollars at which Obama will start grabbing from small businesses),Supreme Court intentions(he intends to stock the courts with judges who will redistribute wealth according to social and economic justice principles)...key Marxist platform principles,and on and on...DO YOU SEE? OBAMA IS TRYING 'TO TAKE IT' THUGLIKE

POPSTaking Boomers' Last,Late Chance for Growth. <"Giving more money to people when they fail and taking more money away from people when they work doesn't increase work. And the stock market knows it." "An improving economy carries with it the prospects of enhanced profitability as well as higher employment, higher wages, more productivity and more output. Just look at the era beginning with President Reagan's tax cuts, Paul Volcker's sound money, and all the other pro-growth, supply-side policies.">

POPSPillar of Unbelief - Freud First, Freud's "super-ego" is not the intellect or conscience, but the unfree, passive reflection in the individual's psyche of society's restrictions on his desires—"thou shalt nots." What we take to be our own insight into real good and evil is only a mirror of man-made social laws, according to Freud. Second, the "ego" is not free will but a mere facade. Freud denied the existence of free will, he was a determinist and saw man as a complex animal-machine. Finally, the "id" ("it") is the only real self, according to Freud, and it's comprised simply of animal desires. It is impersonal; thus the name "it." Freud thus is denying the existence of a real personality, individual I-ness. Just as he denied God ("I Am"), he denies God's image, the human "I."

POPSTwitter your lesson plans If I were a curriculum person in an administration, the first thing I would do would be to set up accounts for each teacher to post one daily update. It would give me insight on my school and encourage my teachers to keep a running record of what was accomplished (as opposed to the lesson plan, which usually is not accomplished).
