POPSCitrus surprise: Vitamin C boosts the reprogramming of adult cells into stem cells "Our results highlight a simple way to improve iPSC generation and provide additional insight into the mechanistic basis of reprogramming," concludes Dr. Pei. "It is also of interest that a vitamin with long-suspected anti-aging effects has such a potent influence on reprogramming, which can be considered a reversal of the aging process at the cellular level. It is likely that our work may stimulate further research in this area as well."

POPSDear Steve Savage: Do you feel disrespected by my question to you?
Unlike most of the gaggle of evil hags commenting on that clip, I have been a vocal fan of Steve, and his amazing family. I had a LEGITIMATE question for him given the stuff he is POPPING and giving support to lately, case in point an AL JAZEERA report on the military (good grief). Seems that his position has changed radically in some areas and I wanted to know why--so I ASKED HIM. Too bad you creeps cannot handle it. Steve answered my query quite directly, and although I do not agree with some of his conclusions, I still admire the man. There was no nastiness sent his way at all----I save my disgust for those most deserving of it---and that is definitely the left leaning gang of goofballs now ganging up on poor lil me, lol , how shall I survive such dreadful bullying *sobs Anyone on CLipmarks longer than a year knows exactly what Debbieslimyski is, lol....you ain't foolin no one mrs " I am a married catholic and president of the GAY population worldwide" LOL....gimmie a BREAK

POPSIndia's Last "Dancing", Endangered Bear Set Free Raju was the last endangered sloth bear that had to work for a living, but who now can roam free at the Bannerghatta bear sanctuary on the outskirts of the southern city of Bangalore. The bear's freedom is the outcome of lengthy efforts by animal rescue organisations and the government that have taken the "dancing" bears off India's streets, where the animals were once as ubiquitous as snake charmers and their cobras.

POPSBang Mi? Top 10 Foodie Typos Haste makes waste. It can also make very entertaining typos. It takes a keen eye (or a Jay Leno Show intern) to spot the exceptional gem on a takeout menu or expose the unintentional comedy amongst rambling food metaphors.

POPSBob Dylan: "i was born very far from where i'm supposed to be"
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden The wounded flowers were dangling from the vine I was passing by yon cool crystal fountain Someone hit me from behind Ain't talkin', just walkin' Through this weary world of woe Heart burnin', still yearnin' No one on earth would ever know They say prayer has the power to heal So pray for me, mother In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell I am a-tryin' to love my neighbor and do good unto others But oh, mother, things ain't going well Ain't talkin', just walkin' I'll burn that bridge before you can cross Heart burnin', still yearnin' There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost Now I'm all worn down by weeping My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry If I catch my opponents ever sleeping I'll just slaughter 'em where they lie Ain't talkin', just walkin' Through the world mysterious and vague Heart burnin', still yearnin' Walkin' through the cities of the plague. Well, the whole world is filled

POPSInnocence Undone--Frame By Frame "But I’m pressing on, determined to learn just how much of my life is based on false pretenses. I am dreading what I am going to find in “My Favorite Martian” and “The Addams Family”; highly skeptical that “The Flying Nun” was either really flying or really a nun. But there’s one show, at least, that I’m sure won’t let me down: “Mister Ed,” about the talking horse. I know that was real. Heck, you could see his lips move." :)

POPSThe Art of Productive Laziness "It is assumed that you are not stupid so you are already on the right hand side of the diagram, what you now need to do is hone your lazy skills in order to rise to the top right hand side of the diagram".

POPSThe US Military Is Exhausted These troops refuse deployment for a variety of reasons: some because they ethically oppose the wars, some because they have had a negative experience with the military, and some because they cannot psychologically survive another deployment, having fallen victim to what has been termed "Broken Joe" syndrome. The voices of refusal coming from within the US military send a powerful message that soldiers will not be fodder for an unjust and unnecessary war. And the longer the war in Afghanistan drags on - the more lives that are lost and destroyed - the more resistance we will see coming from within the ranks.

POPSAdvice to Myself as a Young Man Rebelling against the status quo leads to burnout. Instead, boldly forge your own path. Many things about the world will make you angry. But unless you come up with an alternative, your energy is wasted in simply being against something. Find out what you stand for, deep inside, and instead of pushing back against the world, use your heart and mind to become an agent of positive change.

POPSHey Buddy, Can You Spare $2 Billion? "The civilian component of what we're doing is critical to success for our country," Gates told U.S. soldiers in Kirkuk, Iraq, earlier this month, echoing a concern he has expressed frequently. "And, unfortunately, the civilian elements of our government -- the State Department, AID and so on -- have been starved of resources for decades." Starved!! .:lol:

POPSThe Economics of Coal Speaking of COP15 evidencing Coal over Climate, “it was one year ago,” records WaPo staff writer David A. Fahrenthold*, “an ‘earth-and-ash dam holding back 1 billion gallons of waterlogged coal ash’ in Kingston, Tennessee, failed, but ‘most of the fly ash on the land is still there’ and the Environmental Protection Agency is yet to regulate coal-ash ponds.”
