POPSECO Housing.. We, the People have the alternatives So we should get rid of all those, that stand in the way of building a better future. By electing those with the ideas that promote, explore and use the alternatives already at hand and support investments into the alternative energy and home land protection as we need it. We need to protect our home land and preserve a balance in all. Harmony is the goal on all levels of life. Balance and harmony. All else will follow.

POPSMegacorps on the rise Sad. Just sad. I hate piss water beer, but the idea that a American born and raised company being sold to foreign conglomerate is just upsetting. The Busch family survived two world wars with the stigma of being German-American, and was the first beer company to deliver beer to the White House after prohibition. Just as with oil, American dollars will be sent to line the coffers of the foreign rich. Its bad enough that the American rich screw us now, but we will eventually have to bow to our megacorp masters, regardless of their nationality. Welcome to the future of things.

POPSFacebook Never Forgets "The Internet's anonymity, long memory and free-for-all gossip culture may yet prove a poisonous cocktail. But as our generation grows older and enters public life -- thankfully, we have some time -- we'll find ourselves in a political culture that increasingly views these "gotcha" moments in context and with an eye toward forgiveness. After all, the incriminating photo, the offensive blog post, that drunken 3 a.m. e-mail -- it could have been any of us."

POPSHiking Across the Czech Republic If you need any inspired travel ideas, read this story about a man and his wife who hiked the well-marked trails of Bohemia. Along the way the couple passed World War II bunkers (also used during the Cold War,) saw stunning vistas and drank locally-brewed beer.

POPSEnzymes made to order Making enzymes is a tricky business. Even the names of the techniques sound mind-boggling, with the process involving a mix of 'quantum mechanical computation', 'advanced protein engineering' and 'directed evolution'. while naturally occurring enzymes speed reaction rates by many billion (or even trillion) fold, the synthetic enzymes gave more conservative boosts β around 100,000 fold. "The acceleration is really rather modest by comparison to Nature," admits Houk β but it's still incredibly exciting

POPSPride and Progress: How Far America Has Come In The Last 40 Years food for thought from Jonah Lehrer a bit more: "Over time, these conscious limits on language helped re-engineer our unconscious beliefs, allowing people to slowly purge themselves of obsolete stereotypes. (We tend to think of the unconscious as the domineering elephant of the mind, but sometimes the feeble rider manages to steer the beast in the right direction.) Of course, the unconscious remains a murky and biased place, but I think white Americans have shown that it can be amended, that simply altering the ways in which we refer to people can, over time, change what we secretly think of people."
