POPSPatch Adams hospital - Gesundheit - still not built but such an answer for community based services There will be 30,000 square feet devoted to the arts in a fully arts-centered hospital. There will be a school for social change and in-depth agricultural programs. Staff persons who've served for four years and want a little distance from the intensity of the hospital can create their fantasy living space in our village. I want to tell all readers that the journey has been heavenly all along the way. Simply being in an idealist quest is its own reward. I've never felt I've sacrificed anything or thought it was a hard journey. Hard would have been having to work in corporate medicine and lie to patients and myself every day. My concern for humanity's future drives me to want to put whatever efforts I can to changing everything that hurts people and nature. The Gesundheit! Institute is that for me, and so many others.

POPSIs Google the New Yahoo!? Google is a monster when it comes to syndicating its ads on third-party sites. AdSense revenue, which accounts for more than a third of the company's total revenue with its presence on sites like News Corp.'s (NYSE: NWS) MySpace, CNET (Nasdaq: CNET), or Time Warner's (NYSE: TWX) AOL and CNN.com, climbed 37% higher this past quarter at Google. That compares to a 13% year-over-year dip in affiliate revenue at Yahoo! during the same period. Google has also been growing beyond the clickthrough, whether it's through impression-based display advertising or expanding its action-based affiliate program spots. There is also the monetization of the fast-growing YouTube. Is revenue growth going to decelerate this quarter? Definitely. Is it going to slam on the brakes and go in reverse? This isn't Crazy Taxi! The comScore data pegged Google's click growth at just 25% this past quarter, but Google's top line actually soared 51%.

POPSblognation issue - olivier Starr letter and an intereting coment it’s a sobering account for me of how *not* to act, ever. A reminder that what might seem to be white lies here and there - just trying to keep positive! - can build up and turn rotten. Optimism turns to spin turns to white lies turns to outright lies turns to full-on fraud.

POPSOctobre 2007 - Octobre 1987: similitues ou nostalgies? C'est un passé révolu que beaucoup d'anciens traders regrettent. En vingt ans, la Bourse a totalement changé. Le marché à la criée a disparu du Palais Brongniart, remplacé par des systèmes électroniques. "C'était plus humain, reconnaît M. Gaillard. Rien qu'au bruit, on savait si le marché montait ou baissait." "A l'époque, les échanges étaient au maximum de 100 millions de francs (15 millions d'euros) par jour. Maintenant, quand le marché fait moins de 5 milliards d'euros on dit que ça ne paie pas le gaz !", signale le chroniqueur. "Les gens sont nostalgiques de cette époque, comme de leur jeunesse", conclut M. Julliard.

POPSInstructions for Recording Your Course Work-Time
To make this determination, the experimenter taught the material to groups of students using different approaches and then tested the amount of learning accomplished per approach. Somewhat surprisingly, the experimenter's main finding was that it made little difference which teaching approach was used. The only thing that was found to matter was the amount of time the students spent learning the material -- the more time they spent learning, the more they learned (Murdock 1960, 1962; Jung 1968 pp. 56 & 145-46). This made me curious about how much time I was actually spending on my courses. This led me to make the form and to start tracking my time. The first thing I learned from tracking my time was that I was spending much less time on my courses than I had guessed. I saw that the gaps on the form often represented wasted time -- time that I realized in retrospect was unwisely spent. This led me to spend more time on my courses and on other activities that I judged were impor

POPSHow Google Works And Google's market share is growing; a year ago, it was 36.5%. The same survey indicates that Americans conducted 6.6 billion searches online in April, up 4% from the previous month. Google sites led the pack with 2.9 billion search queries performed, followed by Yahoo sites (1.9 billion) and MSN-Microsoft (858 million). This growth is driven by scalable technology. As Google noted in its most recent annual report filing with the SEC: "Our business relies on our software and hardware infrastructure, which provides substantial computing resources at low cost. We currently use a combination of off-the-shelf and custom software running on clusters of commodity computers. Our considerable investment in developing this infrastructure has produced several key benefits.It simplifies the storage and processing of large amounts of data, eases the deployment and operation of large-scale global products and services, and automates much of the administration of large-scale clusters of computer

POPSOn internal Project Management tools at Google Baseline Mag is a great Project Management resource for those who are keen on the subject. I also like Gantthead very much. A more traditional project tracking application would use a form to make users plug the data into different fields and checkboxes, giving the computer more structured data to process. But instead of making things easier for the computer, Google’s approach is to make things easier for the user and make the computer work harder. Employees submit their reports as an unstructured e-mail, and the project tracking software works to “understand” the content of those e-mail notes in the same way that Google’s search engine extracts meaning from Web pages. Those project tracking reports go into a repository—searchable, of course—so that managers can dip in at any time for an overview on the progress of various efforts. Other Google employees register their interest in a project they want to track, regardless of whether they have any official connection to that proje

POPSMeg Whitman's career at eBay suffers “an impairment write-down” The first lesson, which she learned in 1979, was that attention to detail is all important. At the time, she was fresh out of Harvard Business School and just starting her first job at Procter & Gamble. She was charged with figuring out whether the nozzle on shampoo bottles should be half or three-eighths of an inch wide. The second lesson occurred in 2002. As boss of eBay, she had noticed that a lot of the sellers and buyers on its site were using an online-payment service called PayPal as a sort of virtual wallet. She negotiated for a year, during which the price kept rising. She concluded that in the internet industry one bids early, boldly and pre-emptively high. The third lesson was that in such a fast-moving realm “the price of inaction is far greater than the cost of a mistake.” In any case, mistakes can always be corrected. Collectively, these three lessons have led to disaster.This week eBay said that it would take a $1.4 billion charge in relation to the purchase.

POPSBye, Bye Business School, Bye Bye MBA! Mr. Hammond of Alerian noticed the same trend while he was an analyst at Goldman Sachs. His co-workers who went to business school either wanted to change careers, or they were not doing well in their current jobs, he says. If he were looking at someone who went to Harvard Business School after the two-year analyst program at Goldman, “I’d be suspicious,” he says. “I’d be saying, ‘What was it you were doing wrong that you couldn’t get a promotion at Goldman or did not pursue an opportunity with a private equity or hedge fund?’ ” Mr. Hammond of the Alerian hedge fund recently hired someone from Carnegie Mellon’s business school because of that person’s engineering talent, not the skills he learned in business school. While Mr. Hammond says he understands why his new employee went to business school to move into finance, he would look less favorably on someone in an M.B.A. program who had left finance to go to business school.

POPSLa Bourse de New York oublie la crise immobilière J'ai l'impression qu'on revit un avant 2000 à une échelle encore plus grande. Si la spéculation de la fin des années 90 était orientée haute technologie puis entrainant dans son sillage les autres secteurs. Dans ce cas-là j'ai l'impression que l'engouement est total. Je croyais vraiment que le marché immobilier était celui qui aurait le plus d'impact sur la santé des ménages et donc la consommations et donc la croissance. Vu que nos chers americains ont un taux d'épargne proche de 1%, quand on cherche à évaluer la croissance, ce sont les indices de la consommation qu'il faut voir! Mais visiblement j'ai eu tort, le marché repart de plus belle. Cette frénésie me semble tellement irrationnelle, j'ai l'impression que les marchés font une sorte de fuite en avant. Et la FED n'a pas aidé la reflexion en diminuant de 0,5% les taux dirécteurs. Ca assure une fausse confiance: celle des marchés financiers qui ne vont pas hésiter à s'adosser au support de la FED dans le futur. C'est insen
