POPSManaging Distraction more: "Surfing or multitasking may have even more of a place in 21st-century society as strategies of learning," says Jackson. "But going forward, we need to do much more than hopscotch across the web, split-focused and pulled this way and that by choice distractions. We cannot mistake fragmented, diffused attention as avenues of higher thought-or deeper relationships." "Instead, we need to do better at cultivating deep focus, keen awareness and meta-cognitive "executive" attention-the package of skills that is crucial to moving forward in a complex, high-tech age," says Jackson. "If we can 'green' the earth, we can clean up our noisy, interrupt-driven environment, and set the stage for a renaissance of attention for all."

POPSBrrrr... Another Rare Occurence-- Great Lakes Freeze Up Again 
But, despite the myriad of evidence against the global warming hoax, the media and politicians continue to cling to their junk science. On March 2, a global warming protest in Washington, D.C. was buried by nearly a foot of snow. And a new study warns that the Earth could be in for a 30-year cooling trend. Reality is not cooperating with the network news’ global warming theme, yet reporters are unwilling to even discuss the possibility that the Earth is cooling. Global warming alarmists repeatedly link weather phenomena like tornadoes, hurricanes, ice melt, droughts and wildfires with global warming and the media embrace the stories. Yet, when cities or regions are buried in snow like the city of Chenzhou, China was in February 2008 there wasn’t a word about climate change in the cooling direction. “It is being called China’s Hurricane Katrina,” NBC anchor Brian Williams said on Feb. 4, 2008. “… the month of blizzards that have brought it to a virtual standstill.

POPSLive Free or Drown: Floating Utopias Had enough of oppressive government? Want to live a life free of the restraints of traditional land-locked residences? How about a life on the high seas? Of course the federal government is not going to sit idly by while their source of tax income slips away into the night. They will manufacture creative ways to tax you for your impudence. And forget about ocean views, you will be surrounded by other like-minded individuals on their ‘seasteads’ blocking your view. Also, forget about the idea of no rules. No peaceful, respectable community can exist without rules. It may sound like a good idea, but honestly, when mother nature unleashes her power, I’d rather be on terra firma.

POPSWhy fundamentalists unquestioningly support Israel It is a result of a new form of premillenialism (dispensationalism), new to the Church in the 1830s and popularized recently by the "Left Behind" series. It is not historically Christian, and is not held by most Christian denominations today, but has been widely promoted by the Scofield Reference Bible, radio preacher John MacArthur, and the Ryrie Study Bible.
