POPSPQ | Gary Levox
Born and raised in Columbus, OH, Gary LeVox (b. July 10, 1970) made a name for himself as the lead singer in the multi-platinum-selling country-pop group Rascal Flatts. He loved music from an early age and frequently participated in family jam sessions alongside his second cousin Jay DeMarcus. After graduating from Ohio State University, LeVox took a job working at the Ohio Department of Mental Retardation. However, he was eventually convinced by DeMarcus to pack it up and join him down in Nashville to pursue his musical dreams. They began gigging together at a club in town, while DeMarcus also played in country star Chely Wright's backing band. One night, the two cousins needed a guitarist to sit in on a show, so DeMarcus asked Joe Don Rooney, who was playing with him in Wright's band. The three had an immediate musical connection, and Rascal Flatts were born. LeVox married in 1999, the year before the group's debut self-titled album appeared via Lyric Street Records, a label owned b

POPSBest book written in English that was published in 1970? The only one in the long list that I have heard of and read was Renault's "Fire From Heaven". It did not light my fire. The film "Master And Commander" was great. I wonder if the book was even better? I'll be interested to see their short list selection and the winner.

POPSKent State Unless you've listened to vintage Crosby, Stills and Nash recently, it's probably been eons since you've thought of "Kent State" in the iconic way this author means it: a turning point in 60's America, when the peace-love-joy vibe of the Flower Children fell through the rabbit's hole, beginning a loss of innocence that reverberates through our politics even now. OR does it? I can point to disbelief, distrust and cynicism and see a line from Kent State to Watergate to Iran-Contra....but I'm 50 years old. I was a child when all that happened, even though the photos and news clips are the filter through which I often view the world. But my students, 17 years old and surfing tennis shoe ads? Or most of my coworkers, 20- 35 year old distracted by the demands of life as they find it Monday through Friday? I argue that the author dates himself by saying "The words Kent State forever entered the lexicon..." The facts and the lessons of that era are not taught to our children. They

POPSTrait Examination OR Character Assassination? Compare this to any other field of mental health and it’s absurd that we would say ‘We already understand depression, no more theories, no more studying! Don’t call it depression or you are blaming the patient for their own depression.’

POPSBiofabrics are coming soon Fragrances are actively 'pulsed' electronically through a micro cabling system in the fabric web. The dress has its own nervous system, which allows the wearer to control the emotional wellbeing of the garments. It reacts on body functions of the wearer and is an extension of the human body. The fabric emits a selection of scents to create novel olfactory experiences as part of the sensory appeal and will eventually replace the traditional perfume bottle (no need to carry a bottle when you clothes contain it all)

POPSThe Lies About Green Jobs
With 16,000 employees and an annual budget of $24 billion, the United States has imported more oil with every passing year while denying U.S. oil companies access to vast national reserves in ANWR and off our continental shelf. All of these programs were put forth by liberals, now calling themselves “progressives”, initiated by Democrat administrations to advance what they call “social justice.” The Obama administration is hell-bent on “health care reform” that will put one sixth of the U.S. economy under the control of the federal government whose interventions in the free market have been the cause of the previous recessions. In 2010, the Obama administration says it intends to relieve the job shortage by creating “green jobs” in the sectors of wind and solar power and biofuels. It has announced a program that will cost $2.3 billion, costing approximately $135,000 per job. “Show me one other industry that requests and receives a nearly 30 percent taxpayer subsidy,” says ....

POPSLaws of Sustainability (3) Following Bartlett's logic, it's a case of do or die (if not, do and die), if not on the level of the individual, then on the level of humankind. People need to start to care for themselves (and others!) on the level of the species. The selfish individualism fostered by the consumer economy and the whole trash heap of economic growth theory needs to thrown overboard first, otherwise the boat will most certainly sink.

POPSNESTLE BOYCOTT By Cee Miracles Wanting to do right by their babies, mothers used the formula. When they ran out, they had to buy the formula and most of them were too poor to do so. By that time also their breast milk had dried up. So they skipped feedings and/or added more water. Often the water was contaminated. Babies died; their growth was stunted; their brains damaged, they succumbed to simple diseases, etcetera. NESTLE also gave their formula to nursing mothers in other poor countries, e.g., in Africa and South and Central America. This formula lacked nutritional ingredients that were in the regular formula, with the same or similar results as above.
