POPSWelcome To National Auto Approval Instant approval personal loans are able to provide instant cash assistance to the population, as these loans have a very short duration to complete the entire approval process. Moreover, these loans have low and affordable interest rates of interest that borrowers can easily afford their basic expenses. Therefore, if you are also looking for a quick infusion of funds to repair your home or to pay your child's higher education fees, then consider the practical solution of prompt approval personal loans and get rid of your financial concerns. But those who have had a bad credit history so far, can find some difficulties in the use of this loan assistance, as their remaining option is doubtful. But fortunately, with the comprehensive development of the financial market and increasing the frequency of the competition, they can also enjoy the financial support under certain restrictions, such as a high level of interest rates or strict repayment schedule.

POPSWeb facts erode research “The higher-quality materials are not available to them on or off line,” says Tara Brabazon, professor of media at the University of Brighton. She says that Google in itself is not the problem, but students' over-reliance “on any single platform or media ”. But US research suggests that academics may struggle to undo such behaviour. “It is too late to reverse-engineer deeply ingrained habits, notably an uncritical trust in branded search engines to deliver quick fixes.”

POPSDuke University: Justifying affirmative action for rich white kids Duke University has been rather shameless in pandering to wealthy parents of potential students. In his book The Price of Admission , Daniel Golden estimates that between 3 to 5 percent of Duke's student body in the late 1990s were admitted under pressure from the development office--that is, kids of wealthy parents who were below Duke's standards. In this 2003 letter to the Wall Street Journal (where Golden is a reporter), Duke University president Nannerl Keohane argues that showing preference for kids of wealthy parents is just as justified as showing preference for minority kids. She cannot imagine how one can justify affirmative action for minorities but not for rich kids. Try harder, President Keohane.

POPSWangaratta council urges 'livable cities' fund Why do local councils get off with self aggrandisement like this. This type of propaganda is wasted on the ratepayers - it should have been directed to the state government well before the budget was to be released

POPSToday's Super-Wacky Plan To Save Newspapers Wow. This is really silly. First a "Newseum" now this plan, akin to holding a telethon for the telegraph because you're a huge fan of morse code. Time to stop trying to save a distribution technology fewer and fewer consumers want and time for the industry to focus on creating useful, excellent information and delivering it in a better way -- one people will pay for.

POPSCampus Gossip Sites - What to do? "Flaming," "cyberbullying" - call it what you will, but that is what these sites do. There are no ethics in the online world. It seems that who ever created this site, posted to this site, etc - is following the lead of Perez-Hilton, except these people are not famous. This is why you have to teach your kids about how to behave online. What will happen if your kids name is posted? your name?

POPSGuns in Class: Professor fired "predictable has been outrage from the right. Last month two leaders of extremist Jewish settlers in Hebron, Baruch Marzel and Itimar Ben Gvir, announced that they had enrolled on Hassan's course. "I would love for him to ask me about my army service," said Marzel. "I can only assure you that he will be the one walking out of the classroom." The army added its voice too, with senior officers, including the Chief of Staff, Ashkenazi, putting pressure on Sapir College to publicly rebuke the film-maker and punish him. A letter from the head of army personnel, General Elazar Stern, accused the college of failing to act with "proper determination" and urged that Hassan face "sharp, public, official condemnation." Stern added that Hassan must be made to apologize or be sacked, otherwise the army would end its funding of places for hundreds of soldiers who attend courses at Sapir." ...AlterNet
