POPSSwitching it up: How memory deals with a change in plans The answer is "both," according to researchers at The Johns Hopkins University, who have learned that two different areas of the brain are responsible for the way human beings handle complex sets of "if-then" rules. "This discovery may eventually lead to enhanced understanding of psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention deficit disorder, all conditions in which a person's ability to remember and change such rules is impaired," "This indicates that different parts of our brains store different kinds of memories and information," Courtney said. That, she said, "provides clues about how the human brain accomplishes complex, goal-directed behaviors that require remembering and changing abstract rules, an ability that is disrupted in many mental illnesses."

POPSFBI Illegally Obtained Reporters Phone Records by playing the "terrorism" card. The question now is, what was going on in Indonesia (where the reporters were) that made them desperate to violate the law in order to do some surveillance? (What did they fear the reporters might be on to?) Reporters should now do some research to answer the question and they would have an important story. Indonesia is a highly Islamic area targetted for change on the "Pentagon's New Map", and where the Tsunami took place.

POPS Forget about forgetfulness- "Pensieve" ,new high-tech , help you remember...:-) "Pensieve, a new application from IBM. The software interacts with one's cell phone and computer by linking information collected throughout the course of the day -- photos, notes, maps, documents -- and automatically cross-associating it, recreating the noteworthy events of a day for later playback. Of course, it does require the user to remember to take notes in the first place."

POPSCongress: No airplane cellphone calls Just a few problems. First, just because you turn off your cell phone for calls doesn't mean the camera doesn't still work. Second, if those loud and obnoxious people can't talk on the phone, isn't anyone worried that they will talk to you? Third, what about all the other loud and obnoxious behaviors one encounters on a plane? Will they ban babies next? Fourth, the first paragraph of the story said that cell phones are dangerous on planes, where is the evidence of that? And finally, are they going to extend the ban to those insanely expensive phones you can currently use on planes? Or are only the well to do allowed to be obnoxious on the phone?
