POPSDemocratic Candidates Long To Renegotiate NAFTA U.S. manufacturing is not in decline. Quite the opposite is true. Output, revenues and profits in the sector all achieved records in 2006, and preliminary government data indicates that new records were set in 2007. American factories remain the world's most prolific, producing 2.5 times the value of Chinese output. ... Between 2000 and 2003 there was a pronounced manufacturing recession, during which 2.8 million jobs in the sector were eliminated. The two candidates extrapolate from that statistic to assert that 3 million manufacturing jobs have been lost since 2000 on account of bad trade deals, like NAFTA, as though the trend were continuing. That's wrong. ... If trade had something to do with the loss of those 2.8 million jobs between 2000 and 2003, imports weren't the culprit. Manufactured imports did not increase at all during those three years. U.S. exports, however, dropped off by 11 percent during that precise period.

POPSOut of Africa not once, but twice Only twice? Humans are curious creatures. I imagine wandering, and far horizons would have triggered their imaginations and their spread. Not mentioning the fact that humans are prolific breeders. They seem to be trying define something too narrowly that was perhaps a regular sequence. When the place get's too crowded it can be easy to move on and find some clear land, but all you can really say is, here we are.

POPSwhen eating corn flakes..think of Kellogg John Kellogg, meanwhile, was a prolific author of medical books and used the royalties to subsidize his sanitarium, which became a working laboratory for putting his theories on healthy living into practice. The sanitarium, which he billed as a "place where people learn to stay well," became famous -- for the services, not the corn flakes -- and attracted a mainly wealthy clientele, who tended to check in for several weeks at a time.
