POPSThe Dangers Of Over-Identifying Oneself With One's Work This clip is from an excellent article by Peter Bregman from the Harvard Business Review. I encourage any of you who are concerned or frustrated with the 24/7 work life many of us lead these days to read the article. It discusses the dramatic rise in workplace suicides in the U.S., and poses the theory that we should strive to diversify our selves and not classify so much of who we are with what we do.

POPSHas the Depression "officially" Begun? Politicians get very creative finding ways to avoid using the term "depression" in reference to the economy. Now the British, in the Telegraph, seem to be boldly suggesting its the appropriate term.

POPSTHE DEATH ALIGNMENT IN COSMIC CYCLES The world is presently on a Slippery Slope, accelerating ever more rapidly, and deeper, into the Greatest Depression ever to befall mankind. Because of limited resources, ignorance of true indebtedness, the drain of entitlements for the impoverished, the physically and mentally weak and helpless; and, for lack of what Nazi Germany referred to as Lebensraum, we're going to have to make some difficult choices very soon as to who will live and who will die. THE DEATH ALIGNMENT IS HERE!

POPSMYJ | Another immune system boost at COH
One of the consequences of 16 months of chemotherapy following my March 2006 diagnosis with mantle cell lymphoma (now in remission a second time) is that my immune system is challenged. This new reality makes me far more susceptible to infections and illness, so we are guarded about exposures. That's why we were back to City of Hope Wednesday for the second of a series of seven monthly IVIG infusions (gama globulin), a class of blood plasma proteins, most notably including the antibodies that help fight infections and disease. MORE | http://wisegeek.twi.bz/a The gama globulin infusion process is not unlike chemotherapy, taking 5-6 hours to complete the dose of about a liter of fluid that looks like pink lemonade. But unlike chemo, this substance has few side-effects other than its main purpose (boosting the immune system). ___ SOURCE | http://webmd.twi.bz/e ___ SEARCH | http://google.twi.bz/aA ___ iWeb Blog | MYJ MyJournal | http://me.twi.bz/y ___ ALTACITIES | http:/

POPSEnedgame (2) Greer says that it is time to start implementing your survival strategy now, or join what he calls the "New Okies". This kind of warning is very unlike the unflappable pragmatist I have come to know. Something has really freaked him out. Still our snow drops came out today.

POPS Monetary Stimulus Produces Phony Recovery
“Pres. George W. Bush…came into office when annual federal spending was $1.86 trillion. He proposed to increase spending at a healthy clip, rising to $2.71 trillion by 2011. “Bush and his team started blowing their budget almost immediately. They kept spending more and more " wars, a giant new homeland-security bureaucracy, a big-government response to Katrina, the prescription-drug bill, doubling K-12 education spending, big pay raises for federal workers, financial bailouts, and so on. I can’t think of a single crisis that occurred on President Bush’s watch that the Bush-Rove team didn’t have an interventionist and big-spending response to. “In Bush’s last year, FY2009, the government spent $1 trillion more than the Bush-Rove team had originally planned. It is true that 2009 spending included $112 billion for the Obama stimulus bill, so let’s take that out. With that adjustment, the Bush-Rove team ended up spending $916 billion more annually by 2009 than they had .....
