POPSGo to a Baseball Game The article is about studies that say married couples who have fun together--no matter the activity--are happier. Makes sense right? These "fun" activities are the first to go when times are tight. "Tight" might be in time, finances, or emotions. Find some way to have fun with your spouse this week.

POPSTrading Systems Rated - This site has real Trading System reviews I found this site and it's great if you're looking for the best trading systems from Forex, CFD, Option, Futures or as a Day Trader or someone looking for Automated trading systems... it has it all. Looks like it could do with some exprienced traders adding more reviews, but until then it's a one stop shop for pretty much every trading system on the market today.

POPSPotential Paradigm Shift? I am always wary of ideas that glorify computers as the best (and perhaps only true) way to understand the functions of the world and life. However, this one is slightly different from the ones I've seen before, so...maybe?

POPSAncients and modern evolutionists still pondering the same questions. It would appear that for over 1500 years the debate has raged over the origin of life. Natural Theology, published in 1802 by William Paley, discussed the evidence for design using the "inferred watchmaker" analogy. The majority of scientists at that time professed belief in a Creator, in one way or another. This was reflected in their studies. To some extent, design was assumed. Evolution lacked a reasonable engine to drive biological change. When Charles Darwin published "The Origin of Species" in 1859, those who preferred evolution had a seemingly plausible mechanism to explain it - natural selection. Almost 150 years later, the scientific community at large speaks of the "facts" of evolution. Those who propose non-natural causes for biologic effects are soon branded as "ignorant," "superstitious," or "closed-minded." Some things never change...

POPSMapping Kerouac: The Grammatical Artwork of Stefanie Posavec Posavec dissects every word, phrase, sentence, and subject of Kerouac's On the Road to invent new ways of looking at the familiar masterpiece. The diagrams make for beautiful art in their own right. (See source for high-res pictures.) In her structure analysis, each chapter explodes in a color-coded starburst of topical breakdowns. At a glance, you can see Kerouac's focus wander from the sketches of local life in the beginning, to depictions of work and travel in the middle, with women and the subject of love dominating the latter chapters. The comparative sentence diagrams are what really drew me in. It's fascinating to behold an entire literary work all at once on one page. What's more, Kerouac's casual prose style can be differentiated immediately from the stately, grandiose writing of Faulkner, not to mention the terse, claustrophobic style of Orwell's fiction. Literary reductionism at its most fun and beautiful.

POPSSydney's stressed brains are shrinking There was another conclusion suggested for the reason those subjects from Melbourne had more 'grey matter' than those from Sydney, which was that the brains of Sydneysiders had eliminated unnecessary neural pathways, connections and links, so making their brains more efficient. There was also the possibility considered that another reason for the differences, is that Sydney brains were too mature to spend too much time thinking about sport. They didn't need as large an amount of gray matter to remember football scores.

POPSImproving U.S. Global HIV Prevention for Youth In March 2005, the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) issued a policy directive entitled “ABC Guidance #1: For United States Government In-Country Staff and Implementing Partners Applying the ABC Approach to Preventing Sexually-Transmitted HIV Infections Within The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.” The purpose of the guidance was to clarify the implementation of the Abstinence, Be Faithful, Condoms (ABC) approach within the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) while taking into consideration the abstinence-until-marriage earmark mandated by Congress in the U.S. Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003. Due to clipmarking restrictions, I could only quote the headlines, which, at least, refer to the informative content.

POPSThe Message of Fazlur Rahman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fazlur_Rahman By reviewing Fazlur Rahman’s works, it is hoped that the following contentions will be demonstrated. Firstly, it is argued that Fazlur Rahman’s approach was broadly in line with a ‘historicism’ that emerged in nineteenth-century Europe i.e. the view that the classics of one’s own society embody basic truths that must be reformulated to meet new circumstances. Put simply, Fazlur Rahman’s historicism was comprised of three stages: first, to understand the historical processes by which Islam has come to assume the form which it has today; second, in analysing this process to distinguish between essential principles and their particular formation as a result of specific needs of now probably outmoded social, economic and political contexts; and third, to consider how best to apply the essential principles of Islam after a critical assessment of the contemporary period.

POPSThat's What I Said! The killer: the Democrats were the ones who made it happen, a mere two weeks after Congressional leaders announced that they were going to let Title V, Section 510 abstinence-only-education funding die without reauthorization. Prior to this painful backstab, the Dems had given us the impression that these medically inaccurate programs, full of "false, misleading, or distorted information" -- as confirmed in Representative Henry A. Waxman's "The Content of Federally Funded Abstinence-Only Education Programs" report -- would be cut or eliminated by our new Congress. Instead, we're faced with an additional $27.8 million for this reprehensible approach to human sexuality education, not only hailing the failing White House Chief's delusional efforts, but providing a whopping tax dollar waste of $141 million to CBAE.
