POPSControversy at Calvin College over GLBT issues in the classroom It sounds to me like this is a classic case of a teaching faculty resenting the imposition, by a relatively distant and detached board of trustees, of a set of vague and ideological guidelines for classroom discussion. As a teacher myself, I find it incredibly insulting when someone who's never worked in a classroom setting presumes to tell me what constitutes an acceptable thing to say. Seen on christianitytoday's Delicious stream (delicious.com/christianitytoday).

POPSTagging is huge! This is one of (if not the) best paragraphs about the importance of tagging that i've read. Check out the rest of the post by clicking the source link. It's an excellent post on the overall importance of "making sense out of it all."

POPSThe War Not Lost A very interesting interview with Thomas Ricks on the Iraq War, discussing its failures, its successes and why. The interview gives new insight into a war that may not be winnable, but now seems to be on the verge of not being lost.

POPSR.I.P. Furl This raises a couple of issues. 1. One of the few options to do some serious organization and storing of online research is gone. I guess that leaves Diigo and Evernote. No offense to the Clipmarks guys, but I see Clipmarks as filling a different (but also important) niche, one more geared towards social news/sharing than research (namely because there is no way for a user to get an exhaustive list of their tags on Clipmarks, which is why I resorted to Evernote and Furl). 2. How much can we trust these Web 2.0 services to last? Furl transferred my clips to Diigo, but it looks like my cached copies are gone. Is there a good way to organize and store webpages that is guaranteed to last? I'm thinking local storage may be the only guarantee of that. I am pretty bummed out about this.

POPSMonster truck crushes promoter at event Eisenhart, 41, died eight days after a 6-year-old boy was killed by flying debris at a monster truck show in Tacoma, Washington. The shows were staged by different promoters. advertisement Ironically, Eisenhart talked about the safety of his shows, put on by Monster Truck Nationals, in an interview with a Madison television station before the weekend event. "This is our 16th year," Eisenhart told CNN affiliate WKOW. "I wish I had a big piece of wood to knock on right now, but we have not had an incident besides a gal slipping in the aisleway at another location."
