POPSNational Wear Red Day! As usual, Eileen Williams has offered sage 'advice' for us to embrace and perhaps make a 'habit' of. The idea of a whole day devoted to wearing RED is pretty funny to me..but also fun. Reminders abound, but this one is your not-so-usual perspective. Go have a look.

POPSUSA History in Haiti People were moaning this week: "How could Haiti arrest our wonderful USA missionaries." But calling themselves 'missionaries,' is like a mask. The facts are criminal acts. Thinking we're the 'saviors,' of Haiti also a Mask. This article, printed yesterday, is a good summary of USA involvement in Haiti. It's great that Anyone does Anything to help Haiti out but thinking the USA is their 'friendly big brother,' or something is way off the mark. A summary from the Aristide days sums it up: QUOTE: "Since the election of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2000, the United States has moved to sabotage Haiti's fledgling democracy through an economic aid embargo, massive funding of elite opposition groups, support for paramilitary coup attempts, and a propaganda offensive against the Aristide government. Hidden from the headlines for years, this campaign has now become an open effort to destroy a popularly elected, progressive government." http://www.haitiaction.net/HFTH/

POPSNPO | Obama budget: Higher taxes on wealthy, less revenue for charity?
“It’s frankly surprising to see this proposal come back this year, it was very controversial last year,” said Tom Riley, vice president for communications at the Philanthropy Roundtable. “This of all times isn’t the time to take actions that would discourage charitable giving. The need for non-profits hasn’t been higher for a generation.” Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center said the rule change would make it about 10 percent more expensive for individuals affected to donate to charity. He estimated that would correspond to a $10 billion drop in donations out of the $300 billion Americans give annually. “From the perspective of charities, they’re in a tough time right anyway,” Williams said. “Some charities have been seeing a drop-off in donations and charities themselves that have endowments are seeing a drop-off in return from investments. It’s a double whammy.” ___ SOURCE | http://dailycaller.twi.bz/a ___ SEARCH | http://go

POPSQui sont vos libraires numériques? Au Québec, on connait jelis.ca, on peut aussi accéder à Feedbooks et à quelques autres comme Indigo et Amazon.com (Amazon.ca n'a pas de livres numériques). La FNAC en propose également, mais avec une carte de crédit canadienne, on ne peut pas acheter en ligne sur la FNAC. Je suis curieux de savoir qui sont ces librairies et éditeurs qui utilisent la plateforme numérique de DeMarque, un dizaine apparemment, selon cette note. En cherchant un peu, je suis tombé sur ce billet du blogue de Gilles Herman (éditions du Septentrion) http://www.septentrion.qc.ca/gillesherman/2009/09/le_livre_numerique_3_lagregate.php qui donne une bonne perspective sur le contexte du livre numérique. J'ai trouvé des livres en format PDF chez Septentrion. Y a-t-il d'autres libraires québécois, canadiens, qui offrent des livres numériques (en format ePub, notamment)?

POPSWho is Howard Zinn? He was 87yrs old and died yesterday Some more from the article: Only Howard could pull that off because he was entirely authentic. When he spoke against poverty it was from the perspective of someone who had to work in the shipyards during the Great Depression. When he spoke against war, it was from the perspective of someone who flew as a bombardier during World War II, and was forever changed by the experience. When he spoke against racism it was from the perspective of someone who taught at Spelman College during the civil rights movement and was arrested sitting in with his students."

POPSStanding In The Casket Choosing between grief and joy when dealing with the death of a loved one. Are we conditioned to grieve or is a necessity? What would it be like if we were to change our perspective about death all together? A little 'shift' might just prove to be the key to a more joyful approach to the mystery of dying.

POPSWhen Haiti Falls Apart: Making Sense of Mass Tragedy | Care2 Healthy & Green Living Haiti is decidedly the country that just can’t get a break. The country has fallen victim to just about every blight and impediment a developing nation could care to know (colonialism, famine, slavery, disease, political corruption, occupation, neglect, and global profiteering) and I know that had the infrastructure as well as the general well-being of the county was in place, we would have avoided the startling severity of this tragedy (to put it into perspective, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that hit the San Francisco Bay Area registered 7.0 on the Richter scale, comparable to the recent Haiti quake, and killed only sixty-three people instead of the hundreds of thousands).
