POPSMilitary Service Training Ground For Sexual Predation This article is quite comprehensive in scope and deserves a full reading. A few more paragraphs from it follow this remark. "Yet for decades, in spite of the terrible numbers, the military has managed with astonishing success to get away with responding to grievances like Krause's with silence, or denial, or by blaming "a few bad apples." But when individual soldiers take the blame, the system gets off the hook. And it can be shown that the patterns of military sex crimes are old and widespread -- for generations, military service has transformed large numbers of American boys into sexual predators. So it seems reasonable to ask if perhaps there is something about military culture or training or experience that can be identified as causative, and then, perhaps, changed."

POPS Cuting the Ties Between Poverty and Obesity I had to move to a completely different neighborhood in order to have regular access to fat-free milk. ... When we talk about obesity and the way it correlates is poverty, we spend most of our time talking about pushing low-income consumers into making healthier choices and probably not enough time discussing how we can get food retailers to sell healthy food them in the first place. more @ clip source

POPSNew Urbanism and Grayfield Development A nice article from American City & County. Most of this article talks about Duany Plater-Zyberk and some specific New Urbanism projects, but I'm interested in the comments about grayfields. I think New Urbanism works best when it can be an infill project. However, I disagree with the anti-Smart Growth professors from USC that greenfield New Urbanism does not have merit: even if you are building a bit of sprawl, if you use a compact form like New Urbanism, you will reduce vehicle trips and reduce the carbon footprint.

POPSZoning Out Is A "Crucial" Mental State more: The regions of the brain that become active during mind wandering belong to two important networks. One is known as the executive control system. Located mainly in the front of the brain, these regions exert a top-down influence on our conscious and unconscious thought, directing the brain's activity toward important goals. Of all the ways to let your mind wander, zoning out is considered to be "the most fruitful type." It was also found that sad thoughts allow for more wandering than happy ones. In either case, wandering may help the mind search and find solutions more effectively than constantly trying to keep it in focus.
