POPSBlackberry 9000 Bold Smartphone With the release of the BlackBerry 9000 Bold, BlackBerry has made the move from a brand that benefited utilitarian needs to one that has the design and features of many high-class cell phones. Naturally, the ability to remotely access email is still the defining feature of this unlocked Blackberry, but the improved user interface and QWERTY keyboard make this version an absolute joy to use.

POPSConditional parenting In 2004, two Israeli researchers, Avi Assor and Guy Roth, joined Edward L. Deci, a leading American expert on the psychology of motivation, in asking more than 100 college students whether the love they had received from their parents had seemed to depend on whether they had succeeded in school, practiced hard for sports, been considerate toward others or suppressed emotions like anger and fear. It turned out that children who received conditional approval were indeed somewhat more likely to act as the parent wanted. But compliance came at a steep price. First, these children tended to resent and dislike their parents. Second, they were apt to say that the way they acted was often due more to a “strong internal pressure” than to “a real sense of choice.” Moreover, their happiness after succeeding at something was usually short-lived, and they often felt guilty or ashamed.

POPSWhere in the world can you find HAPPINESS?
This headline caught my eye because I must honestly say; I did not believe the good ole USA would be on that list. I was wrong. Although no US cities ranked among the top 5, we did make it to 7. Guess what? It's San Francisco! Hey, when I think Frisco I think fun. That's what this survey was about, Perception not Reality. We all want happiness but it’s mainly out of reach for most... I'm talking about the average bloke, not the rich buggers who look down their noses at the rest of us. Our only purpose to these guys is to wait on them hand and foot. But I digress... Happiness is elusive to us in the states because… We are too busy scrapping with one another! And if that’s not bad enough... We’re encouraged to do so by those we select as leaders. How sad is this? As Rodney King (A Black Amer. who, on 3/3/91, was victim to police brutality) had asked so long ago, WHY CAN'T WE JUST GET ALONG? Sorry to say, we can’t! Americans rather Brawl not Party. Too bleak for me; See You in Rio!

POPSA Lottery Winning Tale Of Easy Come Easy Go Greed is in us all, young and old. Fortunately for most of us this monster that lives within our brain cells usually doesn't get much of a chance to rear its ugly head. Now and then it will give you a poke when a cashier gives you too much change and you remain silent or you find a thingamajig tucked in the corner of your shopping cart after leaving the store, knowing it did not get a UPC scan and you take it with you anyway. The sad part of coming into a large sum of money is that the “ME” in us grows humongous and you can't spend the bankroll fast enough to accumulate all those baubles and doodads you believe poor little ole you have done without for so long.

POPS ObamaCare's ‘Fat Police’ The voice of common sense, other than Hoenig, came from Wayne Rogers, whose problem centered around the money allocated to the likes of ACORN without any specified powers. It will be part of Our Lord and Savior’s civilian national security force, or Obama’s brownshirt brigade and Hitler youth.

POPSThe chemical morse code "For now, a firecracker-scale infofuse can be detected at distances of up to one-third of a mile. But as researchers refine the technology, infofuses “could open up new opportunities in information technology,” wrote John Rogers, a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign material scientist, in a separate PNAS article." And I'm counting on it! But very probably the military is taking care of it already. Let's see when and how it's going to get to the information technology.
