POPSAlmonds boost weight loss According to Wien, “The weight-loss benefits of eating almonds came as something of a surprise, since the study was originally designed to evaluate the cholesterol-lowering effects of almonds. As it turned out, the dieters who ate almonds lost more weight than would be expected if they were taking prescription diet pills.”

POPSOn Jesse Jackson's Apology One of the odd criticisms of Jesse Jackson is his insistence that others apologize if they make offensive or racist comments about another individual. Here is an example of Jesse Jackson practicing what he preaches. Apologies are important. (I made one yesterday.) They restore what was made out of balance among persons back to a state of balance as closely as possible depending on the circumstances. They are a way of taking responsibility for one's actions and are an admission, of what we often don't want to acknowledge, our finitude. As such they are a way of inspiring trust in those realistic enough to realize that imperfection is a universal trait. I applaud Jackson's apology. It makes me trust him more.

POPSIs That Judge Crazy? Viacom vs Google Judgement This is great. I love the comment htread on this one. Are they just palin nuts or just stupid? "12TB on paper I worked out to be about 5 billion pages. Now I don't know how long that will take to print, but if they wanted to print it all in, say, a month, they would need to print nearly 125,000 pages a minute, constantly until then. Personally, I vote that it is spread over loads of floppy disks, all labelled and then mixed into a large pile... 'Please insert disk #2363234' " HeHee!

POPSSummer Allergies: For Many, Nothing to Sneeze At Food allergies are on the rise in the developing world. There is indication that doctors have given the wrong information in recommending that the very young avoid certain foods (such as nuts and peanuts) and maybe should recommend higher than 'normal' amounts. An interesting interview.

POPSHow did we ever manage without tasers? Choice Hotels and Noble House Trust may be learning to do that soon - as well as a hard lesson as to the price of turning your good name into rapidly spreading oxymorons. No "Oxymoron" is not a snide reference to Rush Limbaugh. It's an inherent contradiction in terms. Kinda like "Military Intelligence," and (in certain lights "Family Values."
