Clearly, business and marketing research are well represented in studies; another interesting area of study is the social site as a virtual laboratory for studying human personality, motivation,etc; related to the latter the pressing question of how internet relationships (e.g. friendship, group, lover) interact with individuals' lives beyond the internet.

POPSLanguage In Healthcare Bill: "Arcane," "Confusing," "Hard Stuff to Understand,"" "Gibberish," "Incomprehensible"
Thus far, however, the committee has not produced the actual legislative text of the bill. Instead the senators have been working with “conceptual language”"or what some committee members call a “plain English” summary or description of the bill. Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), who sits on the committee, told CNSNews.com on Thursday that the panel was just following its standard practice in working with a “plain language description” of the bill rather than an actual legislative text. “It’s not just conceptual, it’s a plain language description of the various provisions of the bill is what the Senate Finance Committee has always done when it passes legislation and that is turned into legislative language which is what is presented to the full Senate for consideration,” said Bingaman.

POPSPassing a Shell of a Bill
Right now, the Senate Finance Committee is in the midst of marking up health care reform “legislation.” Due to Senate procedure, what they are actually marking up is a 200+ page conceptual framework of the actual legislation, not a real bill. That means that not only has no Senator even read the bill but, there is a high probability that the bill hasn’t even been written yet. If the Committee sticks to their artificial deadline of completing work by this Friday then they would have passed a conceptual document reforming the nation’s health care system, spending trillions, without ever seeing an estimated 1,500 pages of legislation, which may or may not be written. The current plan is to start debate on Obamacare as early as next week under the following four-step scenario: STEP ONE: The Senate Finance Committee will finish work on the marking up of Senator Max Baucus’ (D-MT) conceptual framework for legislation by this Friday. Baucus has not unveiled final legislation and, accor

POPSOther Minds 1.2 The Conceptual Problem The conceptual problem follows the same route. If each of us has the kind of direct knowledge we have of our own experience only in the case of those experiences that are ours, by what means could we acquire the concepts we have of mental states belonging to human beings other than ourselves. All experience presents as ours and necessarily presents as ours. Once again, the problem is not that we cannot observe the pains of others. What would be needed for the problem not to arise would be observing such pains, experiencing such pains as, indeed, the pains of others.
