POPSRenee Pernice: Missing For 1 Year Jan.1 I can only hope that this new year will find some answers, as well as justice, for this family. Two small children do not understand what happened to their mother a year ago. What can you say to them for comfort?

POPSBarbara Ehrenreich: Are women getting sadder? Not necessarily
More: So why all the sudden fuss…? Mostly because it's become a launching pad for a new book by the prolific management consultant Marcus Buckingham…a cookie-cutter classic of the positive-thinking self-help genre…all bookended with an ad for the many related products you can buy, including a "video introduction" from Buckingham, a "participant's guide" containing "exercises" to get you to happiness, and a handsome set of "Eight Strong Life Plans" to pick from… It's an old story: If you want to sell something, first find the terrible affliction that it cures. In the 1980s, as silicone implants were taking off, the doctors discovered "micromastia" -- the "disease" of small-breastedness. More recently, as big pharma searches furiously for a female Viagra, an amazingly high 43% of women have been found to suffer from "Female Sexual Dysfunction," or FSD. Now, it's unhappiness, and the range of potential "cures" is dazzling: Seagrams, Godiva, and Harlequin, take note.

POPSFans Flock to Mourn California, 1849-2009 ~ by Iowahawk
Even a frightening bout with tremors did not stop the flow of hits. The 1915 megasmash ‘Hollywood’ broke all records, as did the wartime favorite ‘Aerospace.’ More recently, California topped the charts with ‘Tourism,’ ‘High Tech,’ and ‘Coastal Pretension.’ For a time it seemed as if the superstar could do no wrong, but behind the glittering facade of Disneyland Manor troubling signs of mental instability began to emerge. The state developed a well-publicized drug problem during filming of 1967’s ‘Summer of Love,’ and briefly dabbled in strange religious cults. Under the influence of spiritual guru Jerry Brown, it began wholesale experimentation in exotic spending programs, eventual resulting in a traumatic 1979 stay at the Prop 13 Rehab Center. During the 80’s and 90’s California enjoyed a brief career renaissance with hits like ‘Olympics,’ ‘Real Estate’ and ‘Dot Com Boom,’ but personal problems plagued the reclusive star once again.

POPSSpam on the Wall I have had it with facebook anyway now I need to tell friends & family to look out as well. Even though I know that they will never understand the tech speak, I feel it is my duty to tell it to as many as who will listen. I have good security, but some people actually believe that their Windows Defender and Firewall will do the job. WRONG !! The real killer about facebook is they are now using hi tech backdoor Trojan viruses and worms now. Brothers & sisters if you have enough money to buy and use a PC, you had better be protecting it. $50 a year is a lot cheaper than having to have it reconditioned or relaced, and with the hi-jacking you're gonna lose your privacy as well. I know that it seems like a hassle to have to re-enter your credit card info and other stuff (passwords etc),but I only store mine in my Norton toolbar, and no one can get in but me. More to follow

POPSOut of tragedy, sportsmanship has a shining moment After the second shot, everyone in the gym - including all the Madison players - stood and applauded the gesture of sportsmanship. "Any one of my teammates would have done the same thing, and I think anyone on the Madison team would have done the same for us," McNeal said. Madison broke open a close game after the timeout and went on to win, 62-47. Franklin finished with 10 points, matching his season average. "Just being in the game was a good feeling," Franklin said. "I knew my Mom would have wanted me to play. She was always proud of me playing basketball."

POPSMayor Adams' Sex Scandal Come on man - you abused your position by shagging an intern (don't care if you really did wait until he was 18) and then lied during the campaign to save your political ass. This certainly is a character issue. Hold gay politicians to the same standards as straight ones. How would this play if Adams was straight and it was a female intern we were talking about?

U.S. MARINES ~ THE FEW ~ THE PROUD ~ Semper Fi ~ “America needs you now more than ever.

POPSThe Things Their Families Carried “Oftentimes you would see a family go up to the grave and they would just launch themselves onto the tombstone and start crying,” Mr. Alpert said. “Our instinct as reporters was ‘We have to film that.’ And we didn’t. We would stand there, and then we would go over without the cameras running, and we would talk to people. And we would explain who we were, why we were there, and ask if it would be possible for them to share with us.”

POPSBailout plan faces first test in House today They will approve this - just like all other bad decisions that have been made in haste. This still gives Wall Street the better deal then the tax payers. Also if you read through the draft that they put out, CEO's are still able to make $$. All the limit that was placed was a $500K cap on what a company can write off in the salary. So a company can compensate in other ways and thus nothing has changed. Likewise any CEO's/Execs who have a plan currently in place are grandfathered in. At least that is how I interpreted what I read in the draft.
