POPSAn American Catastrophe "Detroit and its environs are suffering the agonies of the economic damned because of policies, crafted at the highest national and corporate levels, that resulted in the implosion of crucially important components of America’s manufacturing base. Those decisions have had a profound effect on the fortunes not just of Detroit, or even Michigan, but the entire U.S. economy." I can't believe some of the words I read from another clipper describing hard working union members as incompetent and drunks. It's attitudes like his that have absolutely no compassion for loss of good paying jobs, the base of the middle class, and worker's rights to share some of the profits they helped create. It's small, petty, greedy, and jealous thinking with a superior ass attitude that the working man/woman doesn't deserve as good as himself.

POPSAntibiotic Resistance at Factory Farms More (way more at article website): Kellogg Schwab, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Water and Health, refers to a typical pig farm manure lagoon that he sampled. "There were 10 million E. coli per liter . Ten million. And you have a hundred million liters in some of those pits. So you can have trillions of bacteria present, of which 89 percent are resistant to drugs. That's a massive amount that in a rain event can contaminate the environment." One day, a Bloomberg School colleague down the hall from Silbergeld came back from a weekend on the Eastern Shore complaining about how disgusting she'd found having to drive behind a truck hauling chickens to a processing plant. They found that the air in the car and both surfaces showed increased levels of enterococci after they'd driven behind the chicken trucks. Graham had trapped the flies near poultry farms on the Eastern Shore and found resistant staph and enterococci on them.

POPSPeople Born Blind Can See During a NDE I knew it was me ... I was pretty thin then. I was quite tall and thin at that point. And I recognized at first that it was a body, but I didn't even know that it was mine initially. Then I perceived that I was up on the ceiling, and I thought, "Well, that's kind of weird. What am I doing up here?" I thought, "Well, this must be me. Am I dead? ..." I just briefly saw this body, and ... I knew that it was mine because I wasn't in mine. In addition, she was able to note certain further identifying features indicating that the body she was observing was certainly her own. I think I was wearing the plain gold band on my right ring finger and my father's wedding ring next to it. But my wedding ring I definitely saw ... That was the one I noticed the most because it's most unusual. It has orange blossoms on the corners of it.

POPSWeb pioneer Gross revitalized by green energy Bill Gross is the Ron Popeil of Internet entrepreneurs...or perhaps the failed car man and innovator Preston Tucker ;) I am excited to see what he will do with his alt energy incubator. Maybe he will once again innovate enough to help shape the green economy. But, with regard to his claim of becoming more disciplined than he was in the 90's...I'll take the under. Good luck Bill, i'm pulling for you!
