POPSNuclear smackdown in New Europe
Medvedev also sees the war in South Ossetia as symptomatic of a larger and more deeply-rooted problem. Medvedev: “A barbaric aggression against South Ossetia and the global financial crisis – two very different problems which nevertheless have common traits and a common origin...A local reckless enterprise provoked a rise of tensions far behind the region’s borders, in the whole of Europe, in the whole world. It called into question the efficiency of international security institutions and practically destabilized the basics of the world order. The lessons of mistakes and crises of 2008 proved to all the responsible nations that it is the time to act, and it is necessary to radically reform the political and economic system." Medvedev is right. The present architecture for global security needs to be thoroughly revamped as does the global financial system. Unilateralism, preemption and the Bush Doctrine have only made the world a more dangerous place. So, too, Wall Street's disp

POPSSlaves to the market... While Hedges article is over the top... he does make a few good points. Somehow, people have been duped into the idea that "serving a market economy" is a goal in and of itself... that good will flow from that activity. The truth is, we create markets and financial systems to serve the common good... and without keeping that underlying premise in mind we are bound to repeat these mistakes.

POPS6 Food Mistakes Parents Make
I have a 7 yr old and here are some of my observations that jibe with this article: 1. He is more likely to try a new or questionable food if I leave the room for a bit. 2. He is also more likely to want to try something if I tell him it's so good it's all for me and he isn't allowed to have any (seems to simple, but it works!) 3. I've read somewhere that a new food has to be put in front of a child an average of 10 times before they will try it. I always add in foods that I want my son to try and tell him if he doesn't want it to leave it on his plate. 4. I'm a big fan of food camouflaging. I put thin slices of apple in quesadillas and grate carrots and broccoli into spaghetti sauce, chili and sloppy joes. I also make a mean chicken noodle soup. I use a ton of veggies in the broth and then process and blend them and re-add them to the soup so the only thing he's chewing is chicken and noodles, but he's getting vitamins and minerals from celery, onion, peppers, broccoli, carrots,

POPSAnd the Beast Shall Eat Itself A hot microphone, a revelation of dishonesty, and the violation of a long-held gentleman's agreement destroyed the credibility of the Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan today, and may have changed the complexion of the American news media forever. Noonan revealed herself a hypocrite, and MSNBC, a network that has abandoned all illusions of objective journalism in favor of naked advocacy for Barack Obama and an exclusive allegiance to partisan politics of the far left wing of the Democratic Party, shattered a common courtesy between journalists, in order to tear another journalist down for a minor temporary gain. All bets are off now, all gentleman's agreements dead.

POPSEngRish = Japanese English More from the site here " 4. The Japanese inability to pronounce various vowel sounds found in the English language. The Japanese language contains only 5 basic vowel sounds: "a" as in "ah", "i" as in "eee", "u" pronounced like "ooo", "e" pronounced like "eh", and "o" pronounced like "oh". Such confusion in vowel sounds can lead to examples like "fack you!" in place of "f*ck you", etc. Grammatical mistakes vary but there are a few common errors that English teachers in Japan see on a daily basis: 1. Using a noun as a verb with "Let's" as in: "Let's beer" or "Let's Kiosk" 2. Redundant wording such as: "Let's play with me!" 3. Dispense with connecting words. Example: "I feel Coke"
