POPSHow to Run a Meeting Like Google I've so-far been spared the pain of excessive meetings in my work experience, but I've certainly sat through quite a few where the organizer didn't respect the attendee's time. These sound like great guidelines. Visit the page for the full low-down.

POPSThe Imminent Collapse Of China
Contrary to popular myth, the Chinese have very little common sense when it comes to business. Virtually no Chinese-run company is internationally competitive. What's driving the Chinese economy? Pixie dust: The collective power of 1.3 Billion pairs of hands clapping to keep Tinker Bell alive. The business world is as riddled with corruption, nepotism and waste as the government. Often times, there is no difference at all between state and industry. This will end the same way it did for America in the thirties: with collapse. Investing in companies based only on enthusasim, nationalism, or just excitement and ignorance. (Gee, I'd really like to buy some stocks but I don't know which ones, oh well, let's get these, they have a pretty color, and your cousin works there, doesn't he?) I'll say it on the record right now: stay away from China if you have a business. Do everything you can to insulate yourself, because this is one house of cards that's gonna come tumbling down, and

POPStough time for music: TOWER RECORDS - OUT OF BUSINESS Tower Records and CBGB - bad news, same weekend...it's like we're taking all the heart and soul out of a heart and soul business (if there really is such a thing) Ibought my first CD at Tower Records-- it was Billy Joel- the double disc greatest hits-- i was probably 9-10-- in '85-'86- don't really remember which one-- but for me, Tower Records had the 'kid in the candy store' effect.

POPSHarvard's decision on financial aid puts other colleges in a tough spot
Harvard has pledged that no family making under about $180K will have to pay more than 10% of its income in tuition. This makes other college administrators very nervous, since they can't come close to duplicating that deal, especially without raising tuition for other students. One tuition-payer's advocate says it's a step in the right direction because it "puts pressure" on other institutions to start cutting costs, such as in areas of faculty salaries and "internet services," and adds that schools should operate more like businesses. Sorry for the rant, but that's a crock of shit. Only in America, where everything is supposed to be a saleable commodity, and where education is treated as a consumer product, do people go around saying this kind of crap. Why on earth is "operating like a business" a sensible ideal for a college to aspire to? It's not a fucking business, it's an institution of learning. It's not like a Wal-Mart or a travel agency, okay?
