POPSA second chance at life, thanks to strangers on a train
More: Mr. Medaglia and Dr. Tolani rode the subway downtown together… He’d missed the 5:13 train and while he was waiting at Penn Station for the 5:59, a woman came up and said, “You did the CPR on that guy, is he really going to live?” “I said I think so,” recalled Mr. Medaglia. “She blew me a kiss. She said, ‘God bless you — you did a great thing.’ I just sat on the train home, thinking, ‘Holy Jesus.’ ” …This was Lieutenant Kelly’s fourth CPR call in 13 years. The three other aideds all died. “Best thing I ever did in my life,” he said… Having gotten a second chance, Mr. Kiernan, a lifelong bachelor, said he is trying to be a better partner to his longtime girlfriend and is trying to eat more carefully, drink less, and seize each day a little more. “I’m not religious,” he said, “but I keep thinking, ‘Who put that cardiologist on the train?’ Coming home tonight, I looked around the subway car — there wasn’t anybody who looked like a cardiologist.”

POPSTips for winter bike riding More: And what of darkness?… accident stats show that is unlikely. Far more collisions occur when a car turns in front of a bike—which means that bikes need headlights more than they need taillights. As for reflectors and reflective clothing, they only show when you're directly in the beams, so they won't prevent as many accidents as lights and bright colors such as yellow or light green (but not red, which the eye doesn't easily see in the dark). Bluish-white LEDs arrived on the scene a few years ago, but the original red LED color is still the brightest. This makes small, battery-powered LED "blinkies" great as taillights, but marginal as headlights. A better choice is a halogen system. For city riding, it's more important to point it up, where it shines in drivers' eyes, so they see you, rather than down onto the road, which is already illuminated by streetlights and house lights. Look for something that puts out at least ten watts.

POPSMen's Bogs Waterproof Bogs boots for men
Bogs Boots for men, (by the way, they are also available for women) provide water proof foot protection in all kinds of situations. Whether it be hunting in the marsh lands with our camo Bogs Style 350325. Or working with the Bogs Tall Tradesman Mt in the fishing industries. We have got you covered. Bogs Boots offer water proof protection for hard working men and shorter boots for those who just want to keep dry in their daily commute to work or around a wet yard. They are great for walking through the morning dew and not gettin' your socks wet. And cities that get a lot of wet weather, Bogs come through again. If you are looking for comfort, Bogs boots are for you. Remember the days of those old rubber boots with no padding. My feet still hurt from the waffle pattern of the hard rubber soles covered by a flimsy insole. After standing all night on a water turn, I could not walk the next day. But now in my bogs, I feel like I have had on my quality leather work boots.

POPSAmerica's Most Stressful Cities Last week I clipped World's Most Happiest cities. It was based on perception not reality. Well, this little menu has more meat to it. Reading down the list of stress ridden cities, I think traffic. That is, overcrowded highways, pollution, rush hour and miserable faces stuck in traffic! I can’t help but think traffic when I think stress. The meanness in us comes to the surface during our daily commute, and then stays with us the whole day. Until our nine-to-five ends and we fight traffic again so we can get to our sanctuary and hide. There we stay till another sunrise appears and we do it all over again. :-? Oh, speaking of sunrises, it seems there was a noticeable error on this list… Miami Fl listed sunny days at 32... Holy Moly Batman, that's got to be a mistake. I lived down that way and believe me the yearly blistering, scorching, sizzling sunny days number more like 332 (you ain’t seen nuttin till you’ve seen boiling point stress in traffic :mad: )

POPSReally? You don't need facts, just a low IQ
The free market never does anything right, does it? If you have to pay $500.00 for a 200.00 airline ticket...thank a union member. If you are stuck in traffic for 2 hours in what should be a 45 minute commute because there is a road project that has taken 3 years and still is not completed, which should have taken 4 or 5 months...Thank a Union member. If you find the productive traditions of your nation being sucked away by third-world countries, because the cost of paying someone 28 dollars an hour to glue a sticker on an automobile - plus another 40 dollars an hour cost to the company, blame a union member. If your country is being ransacked by fascist thugs and greedy materialists who care not one iota for a particular company, just whatever they can control or steal...thank a union member. If state funds are depleted because trade shops keep their members on unemployment for 40% of the year, which results in staggering costs to taxpayers, then thank a union member.

POPSSome Advice on Biking to Work These are some pretty good comments about commuters and biking to work. I would agree with most of these. I would also hope you are able to have a shower at work once you get there. OR, at least give yourself about 15 minutes to sit and cool off before you start your shift. And Christy has suggested have some alcohol wipes to clean your body. The alcohol acts as a coolant as it evaporates on your skin, and the wipes will help you clean up - in case you get a bit 'ripe' from the ride. This article is definitely a good read.

POPSGlow in the Dark Bike About the only thing I could say about this bike, when I saw it was ... WOW! What a great concept. You can see it in the dark - which is outstanding for riders who often find themselves on the roads before sunrise, or after dark. But the bike also looks outstanding, even with the great safety features. Nice!

POPSPetition to commute an Ohio death sentence
We, unfortunately, have a number of executions scheduled in Ohio in coming months. Many who were given death sentences since the death penalty law in Ohio was rewritten to comply with US Supreme Court rulings have exhausted their court appeal opportunities and are now being scheduled for executions for crimes committed in the 1980s and 1990s. The current system considers each case only on its individual merits and it is left to us, citizens, to determine whether we really want to continue executing so many people when we are unsure whether all of the executions or even just one execution makes us any safer, merciful, or just. Additional factors to consider are that if we seek the end of all executions: 1. Errors in justice can be righted. 2. Justice in the form of life imprisonment for the most aggravated homicides will be more likely imposed and more speedily determined (the time between sentencing and execution is often more than ten years because of time needed for jus
