POPSFort Hood Suspect Said His Goodbyes Before Rampage
The rampage unfolded at a center where some 300 unarmed soldiers were lined up for vaccines and eye tests. Soldiers reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" " an Arabic phrase for "God is great!" " before opening fire Thursday, said Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the base commander. He said officials had not confirmed Hasan made the comment. Hasan was due to be deployed to Afghanistan to help soldiers with combat stress, a task he'd done stateside with returning soldiers, the Army said. In any event, the major was saying goodbyes and dispensing belongings to neighbors. Jose Padilla, the owner of Hasan's apartment complex, said Hasan gave him notice two weeks ago that he was moving out this week. Earlier this week, Hasan asked Padilla his native language. When Padilla said it was Spanish, Hasan immediately went up to his apartment to get him a Spanish-language Quran. Padilla said Hasan also refused to reclaim his deposit and last month's rent.....

POPSSuspect Major Hasan Said His Goodbyes Before Rampage Kim Rosenthal, another neighbor, said Hasan didn't seem too upset by his scratched vehicle, even though it was damaged so badly that he got a new one. "He said it was Ramadan and that he had to forgive people," Rosenthal said. "He forgave him and moved on." Hasan appeared less forgiving to Dr. Val Finnell when they were classmates in a 2007-08 master's public health program at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. He said that at a class presentation by public health students, at which topics like dry cleaning chemicals and house mold were discussed, Hasan talked about U.S. military actions as a war on Islam. Hasan made clear he was a "vociferous opponent" of U.S. wars in Muslim countries, Finnell said. "He made himself a lightning rod for things," Finnell said. "No one picked on him because he was a Muslim." Law enforcement officials said they are trying to confirm if Hasan wrote Internet postings that include his name about suicide....

POPSStunted outlook on neglect of kids " What can the United States do? The State Department each year publishes heavily researched reports on human rights, drug trafficking, religious freedom and human trafficking. All of these are important topics. But is any of them as critical as saving a billion children from life as a mental cripple? Why not a new report, on human nutrition, with appropriate penalties for the nations that neglect their children?"

POPSSmall Plane Crashes on Approach to Teterboro Airports; 2 Survivors Found at Bus Stop Sanil Gopinath, 42, of Rockville, MD, was "banged up, but didn't appear to be that injured," Verdi said. Both men were taken to the burn unit at St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, NJ. No one on the ground was injured. Bob Gretz, a National Transportation Safety Board investigator, said the plane struck a tree after the pilot decided for reasons still unknown to abort the landing. "According to Teterboro, the runway was checked - they did not find any debris on the runway," Gretz said. "We have not been able to talk to the pilots as they were seriously injured." The plane, which was delivering blood specimens to Quest Diagnostics, a lab near the airport, was discovered in two pieces. The tail and two rear wings split from the aircraft's body. Its nose was intact but badly burned. "It's scary," said Joanne DeVito, 38, who lives nearby. "The big planes come in so low you could wave at the pilot. It shakes everything in the house."

POPSHillary Clinton Outburst Not Silent, But Deadly
A live radio broadcast suggests it was initially thought to be heavy machine gun fire, which had people diving under their seats until the commentator responded, "GOOD LORD! What's that SMELL...???" While describing the green fog drifting towards the crowd, mayhem could be heard in the background with shouts of "My eyes," and "It BURNS, it BURNS!" Several dozen people were overcome by the fumes and had to be hospitalized overnight. Scores of others remain in critical condition with injuries ranging from chemical burns to concussions. While it is agreed that Hillary should be allowed to toot her own horn without having to constantly be compared to her husband, Bill, it is also agreed that she probably shouldn't have popped off a bun shaker like that in public. "A blast on the butt bugle of that magnitude probably should have waited until she was off-camera," said one reporter who declined to be identified. One observer expressed amazement that Mrs. Clinton didn't COMPLETELY expel

POPSHot-Hitting SEC Settles GE Suit, Picks Up $50Million Improper accounting? It feels so 2002! And that might not be a coincidence. The SEC under enforcement chief Robert Khuzami is trying to close cases older than three years unless they are critical to the agency’s program. The goal is to clear out the pipeline so attorneys can work on current cases, although one person familiar with the matter said that wasn’t a consideration in this case. “GE bent the accounting rules beyond the breaking point,” said Robert Khuzami, in a prepared statement. “Overly aggressive accounting can distort a company’s true financial condition and mislead investors.” GE agreed to pay the fine without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations. “We are committed to the highest standards of accounting,” said GE spokeswoman Anne Eisele. “While this has been a difficult and costly process, our controllership processes have been strengthened as a result, and GE is a stronger company today.”

POPSCritical Conditions There is sooo much that we do not know about this heath care bill that that, in itself, should be frightening to all our citizens. Rush, rush...hurry before more people learn what their representatives are stuffing down our throats. Oh...and they have the nerve to acknowledge that they don't really know what's in it.

POPSWhy we must ration healthcare More: we should remind ourselves that the U.S. system also results in people going without life-saving treatment — it just does so less visibly. Pharmaceutical manufacturers often charge much more for drugs in the United States than they charge for the same drugs in Britain, where they know that a higher price would put the drug outside the cost-effectiveness limits set by NICE. American patients, even if they are covered by Medicare or Medicaid, often cannot afford the copayments for drugs. That’s rationing too, by ability to pay. Dr. Art Kellermann, associate dean…at Emory School of Medicine…wrote of a woman who came into his emergency room in critical condition because a blood vessel had burst in her brain. She was uninsured and had chosen to buy food for her children instead of spending money on her blood-pressure medicine. In the emergency room, she received excellent high-tech medical care, but by the time she got there, it was too late to save her.

POPSThe What And The Why Of Hypochondria that most people who develop hypochondria tend to be neurotic, self-critical, and/or narcissistic. Some perfectionists may also suffer from hypochondria - believing that being healthy means never, ever feeling any pain or discomfort. An underlying medical condition might be a trigger for hypochondria. Some health care professionals say that people with hypochondria have a low threshold for pain. They notice internal sensations earlier than other people do.

POPSGermany 'not silent' on stabbing Ms Sherbini's husband was attacked by the assailant as he tried to defend his wife and was also accidentally shot by German police. He is in hospital in critical condition. This is an abhorrent deed, one that has left us all dismayed and shocked Thomas Steg German government spokesman The Egyptian media have expressed outrage, asking how the incident was allowed to happen and dubbing Ms Sherbini "the martyr of the Hijab", in reference to her Islamic headscarf. The German government was criticised for what was seen to be a muted reaction. On Tuesday, spokesman Thomas Steg defended the government's reaction, saying Germany had "not been silent", and that early details about the case had not been sufficiently clear for a "spontaneous reaction". "This is an abhorrent deed, one that has left us all dismayed and shocked," he said. He added that Chancellor Merkel would discuss the incident with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak at this week's Group of Eight summit in It
