POPSAt 10% Unemployment America Still Doesn't Have Enough Workers But of course, it's really not much a paradox at all. After years and years of a housing bubble, we have millions of Americans trained in some capacity relating to housing, and those skills are no longer needed. Concepts like this should shred anyone's notion of an output gap. Sure, American hands are underutilized, but if those hands don't have anything to do that's productive, can they really be considered unused "capacity." No, they can't. And this is the problem with big, macro-thinking. You can point to two GDP trendlines and say "Look, undercapacity..." but that totally ignores the ground level where real employees have to find jobs that they're suited for, and no amount of expansionary practice can change that problem.

POPSDid Obama get an A for effort? Though the reasoning given for awarding Obama the Nobel Peace Prize is, well, noble, i kind of had the same reaction as expressed in this clip. Seems like he's getting the award for having good intentions. Hopefully the results will match the intentions. If so, then at that time i would think he'd be worthy of this award.

POPSObama comes across as a gullible sap Not since Carter have I been so embarrassed by our elected president. But of course many of the fools who voted for this Kenyan-born muslim trojan horse aren't old enough to remember Carter, and his hand wringing in the rose garden, his battle with the killer rabbit, and 24% interest rates coupled with hyper inflation and gas lines.

POPSDaily Devotion: Keep No Record Of Wrongs The greatest motivation for us to forgive other people is the living example that God keeps on showing us. For a million times we've sinned against Him, but He's arms are wide enough to pull us back into His arms and forgive us no matter how stubborn we are.

POPSZoning Out Is A "Crucial" Mental State more: The regions of the brain that become active during mind wandering belong to two important networks. One is known as the executive control system. Located mainly in the front of the brain, these regions exert a top-down influence on our conscious and unconscious thought, directing the brain's activity toward important goals. Of all the ways to let your mind wander, zoning out is considered to be "the most fruitful type." It was also found that sad thoughts allow for more wandering than happy ones. In either case, wandering may help the mind search and find solutions more effectively than constantly trying to keep it in focus.

POPSi met the walrus but not yet Sarkozy "He is like Jacques Chirac, only worse," said Daniel Gros, director of the Centre for European Policy Studies. President Sarkozy has put the EU's national rivalries centre stage, through his proposal to lend 3bn euros (£2.6bn; $3.8bn) each to PSA Peugeot-Citroen and Renault, but on the condition that they avoid closing French production plants, or laying off French workers. With demand for cars in Europe down 27% in January, something has to give - and that something might well be Czech workers. There is a clear concern at the drift of French policy. EU Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes, who must ultimately decide on the legality of the French programme, is making her position quite clear. "We have to protect people by creating for them real jobs with real futures, not jobs that only exist as long as the taxpayers' money exists. That takes leadership. Leadership is not bribing multinationals and stealing jobs from one's neighbours," she said.

POPSFT: "Saudi patience is running out" America is not innocent in this calamity. Not only has Bush left a sickening legacy in the region – from the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis to the humiliation and torture at Abu Ghraib – but it has also, through an arrogant attitude about the butchery in Gaza , contributed to the slaughter of innocents. If the US wants to continue playing a leadership role in the Middle East and keep its strategic alliances intact – especially its “special relationship” with Saudi Arabia – it will have to drastically revise its policies vis a vis Israel and Palestine. The incoming US administration will be inheriting a “basket full of snakes” in the region, but there are things that can be done to help calm them down. Prince Turki is chairman, King Faisal Centre for Research and Islamic Studies, Riyadh. He has been director of Saudi intelligence, ambassador to the UK and Ireland and ambassador to the US

It doesn’t have open minds… I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists,” - Indian geologist Dr. Arun D.

POPSTime For America To Extricate Itself From Such A Potentially Disastrous Predicament "It would be unwise for the United States to risk war with an emerging great power like China to defend a small client state that is merely a peripheral interest. That would be true even if that client state were making a serious effort to provide for its own defense. But Taiwan is not willing to make a serious defense effort. It is time for America to extricate itself from such a potentially disastrous predicament."

POPSNAFTA's Impact on Mexico If the current trend continues with the FTAA, at BEST, over a five year time period, 350,000 more jobs will be lost in Mexico's agricultural sector and that number could go up to 750,000. The Institute for Policy Studies says that NAFTA has taken a toll on Mexican jobs. It argues that NAFTA has destroyed Mexico's small farmers, bringing in an influx of subsidized U.S. food imports. Carnegie Endowment for International peace says that 1.3 million farm jobs have been lost since 1993. The Carnegie report also concluded that the pact has generated few new jobs in Mexico and might only be credited for a "very small net gain" in jobs in the U.S. "NAFTA has been a disaster for us," remarks pig farmer Julian Aguilera to Business Week.jobs.

POPSFresh Air: 'Musicophilia' Examines Music in the Mind Bewildered. I looked around. I saw my own body on the ground. I said to myself, 'Oh shit, I'm dead.' I saw people converging on the body. I saw a woman — she had been standing waiting to use the phone right behind me — position herself over my body, give it CPR. . . . I floated up the stairs — my consciousness came with me. I saw my kids, had the realization that they would be okay. Then I was surrounded by a bluish-white light . . . an enormous feeling of well-being and peace. The highest and lowest points of my life raced by me. No emotion associated with these … pure thought, pure ecstasy. I had the perception of accelerating, being drawn up .. there was speed and direction. Then, as I was saying to myself, 'This is the most glorious feeling I have ever had' — SLAM! I was back."

POPSDivided - Jerusalem ?!?
"The paving of major transportation arteries, and recently also a rail line, created a network to serve a unified city. Even public institutions and government offices were set up in strategic locations in the eastern part of the city in order to prevent a possible division. Alongside this, the acquisition of lands and properties from Arabs, by Jewish individuals and associations, continues constantly with the aim of establishing additional facts on the ground." the report's authors mapped the neighborhoods and villages in East Jerusalem from north to south and assessed the chances of separating them. The mapping indicates that it is possible, with difficulties, to cut off from Jerusalem neighborhoods where only a third of the 240,000 Arab residents currently reside. From an economic and employment perspective, the report stipulates that separating the "neighborhoods on the edge," adjacent to the PA areas, will have a limited affect on Jerusalem's economy. However, the loss of th
