POPSThe Long Road to Indecision (we need a "Decider") selecting Gen. Stanley McChrystal to implement it, the administration began to get very cold feet about the war it had described as a strategic necessity. Consider this quick timeline: March 27 . Accompanied by Gen. David Petraeus, author of the Iraq “surge” and head of U.S. Central Command, President Obama announces the conclusion of the “Af-Pak” review: a “comprehensive strategy” to “disrupt, dismantle and defeat al Qaeda” and “combat insurgents”"i.e., the Taliban.

POPSIs There A Child Killer In Your Home?
A tragic tale of ignorance: My local newspaper had a headline stating "4-year-old dies in freak accident"... The child was fatally injured by a FLAT SCREEN TV, through no fault of anyone except the consumer product safety com. and Big Business, who push these dangerous products. I’ve seen these latest consumer items in stores, sitting atop some dresser or TV stand, looking so mightily modern with their teeny tiny base. My (indoctrinated) consumer interest, seemed only focused on the size of the screen, not the lack of size of the base. It's unfathomable to me now, (especially after reading a child had died) that I didn’t realize how top-heavy these thingamajigs were. This is a very sad tale of how one family had to suffer from a lack of knowledge about physics. I am writing this today in hope that maybe, just one consumer (especially, with a small child) will think before they plop their hard earned cash down so they can cart one of these potential killers off to their home.

POPSVolkswagen 1-Liter 235 MPG Extreme Fuel Efficiency Car Minimum weight is crucial to extreme fuel efficiency. The VW 1-liter is made entirely of carbon fiber composites with the outer carbon fiber-reinforced skin tensioned over a spaceframe made of magnesium, which is lighter than aluminum. The car's running gear makes extensive use of lightweight alloys. Low rolling resistance tires are mounted on 16-inch wheels made of extremely lightweight composite materials. The magnesium seat frames feature fabric covers rather than conventional upholstery.

POPSObama Fiddle's As Rome Burns These problems are simply the hazard of staffing a treasury department, which often involves people who have made enough money to have tax and nanny issues. And without those people, we cannot fix the banking system. The gigantic stimulus package that Obama passed will fall flat on its face, as contracting credit markets absorb the multiplier. That the Obama administration has been conserving political capital for its stimulus package and its budget, rather than its treasury nominees, is a radical misallocation of priorities. In these circumstances, I find it hard to come down too hard on Geithner for failing to come up with a newer, better plan; he could hardly be expected to do so without any deputies or staff to help.

POPSEarliest 'Human Footprints' Found continues: "The reason is that carnivores like to eat hands and feet," Professor Bennett told BBC News. "Once the flesh is gone there's a lot of little bones that don't get preserved, so we know very little about the evolution of hands and feet on our ancestors."
