POPSHistorian on Panic of 1873 vs. now the current economic woes look a lot like what my 96-year-old grandmother still calls "the real Great Depression." She pinched pennies in the 1930s, but she says that times were not nearly so bad as the depression her grandparents went through. That crash came in 1873 and lasted more than four years. It looks much more like our current crisis.

POPSMindMap on iPhone i Blue Sky This new app is a great way to brainstorm ideas whilst on the go. I use this to and from work so I can plan lessons or produce essay plans for students. Most mindmapping software available on the PC can be expensive. This app allows you to edit the app only on the iPhone but when e-mailed as a PNG furthur editing can take place on the home PC or Mac. This is more limited but it does me that the mind-map can be shared and titled. A PDF export function is great for ensuring your ideas are not altered by others. This app has strong editing features and its userface is clear and simple. Whilst the cost is a little higher than I would hope, there is no denying its functionality. It can be used by students planning out their essays and by staff working out their lessons, schemes of work and building resources

POPSThe Real Culprits - Part Three While government arguably has a role in helping low-income folks buy a home, Clinton went overboard by strong-arming lenders with tougher and tougher regulations, which only led to lenders taking on hundreds of billions in subprime bilge. Market failure? Hardly. Once again, this crisis has government's fingerprints all over it.

POPSAfghanistan Looming as Huge Mire of wasted lives, resources When will we ever learn? Trying to bomb these people (at great cost in innocent lives) into submission in a guerrilla war is incredibly stupid. The Russians couldn't do it and apparently we didn't learn our lessons well in Vietnam, Jungle/desert comparison aside. Their will to defend their own turf is rooted in the ages while ours is in greed and misguided ideology and there's the rub. Fools. What a waste of lives and resources and perception of good will worldwide. It's NOT a "good" war, if there are any. And changing strategy to more troops is folly of the worst kind but great for the war profiteers.
