POPSLatest Cheney & CIA Crime Exposed? Step-by-step the noose has been tightening around the neck of former U.S. VP Dick Cheney. Tens of thousands of citizens have kept up the pressure for accountability and like water pressure behind a large dam, the cracks are finally showing. In this clip, even conservative Republican Senator John McCain (who is against a torture investigation) now says - today on major TV Sunday news show -- that Cheney has to answer questions about this....that's the start. Karl Rove is finally, last week, being officially deposed by DOJ lawyers. This giving testimony, answering questions under oath, is also a start. Now, also reported, new AG Eric Holder is considering an investigation into the torture issue. A real investigation by the Justice Dept, with real potential legal consequences.(i.e. jail). I think the pressure had to keep on pushing and build up like this. Rome wasn't built in a day. Cleaning up a house flooded by crime doesn't happen overnight.

POPSMental Illness and the 80% Genetic Myth "Music is not melody versus rhythm, wine is not grapes versus alcohol and we are not environment versus genes. We are their sum, their product and their expression. They dance together and we are their performance, but neither is an adversary. The art of understanding this elegant ballet is complex and arcane but you may never realise this from reading the quoted results of genetic studies, because the extent to which a trait is heritable, that is, accounted for by genetics, is usually expressed as a simple percentage.

POPSGod or Darwin? some statistics... though i used the same headline as the article, i do not agree to it. Evolution is not equal to religion and they are merely two different perspectives of the same reality. Each one portrays a different worldview, a different world, a different view. the direction in religion is one of preservation, maintaining the existing order as it , whilst in evolution the dynamics are in constant motion of exploring new orders which by nature are transitory.

POPSRevisiting Lies The truth that with the Socialized Medicine in Canada, no one waits for medically-necessary operations. People getting elective surgery might have to wait from 3-6 weeks to get a time for their surgery, but again, that's only medically-unnecessary, elective surgery The meme that Canadians have to wait months for treatment is just a desperate lie by Big Health Insurance and their Republican pawns to try to keep Americans on their parasitic, overpriced, unfair health insurance. Canadians get better healthcare, less expensive healthcare, more inclusive healthcare, and better preventative healthcare than Americans, hands down. The American plan isn't intended to treat patients; it's intended to turn profits. Your healthcare deserves better than to be someone's get-rich-quick scheme.

POPS 125 years of Roller Coasters A hundred and tewnty-five years after the first U.S. roller coaster, the coaster arms race is still testing the extremes of height and speed—:and increasingly the limits of the human body. One of today's big guns, Top Thrill Dragster, may not offer much in the way of classical winding twists and turns, but delivers the high octane thrills of its namesake. The coaster towers 42 stories above terra firma at the Cedar Point in Ohio and takes riders from 0 to 120 miles an hour (190 kilometers an hour) in a breathtaking four seconds.

POPSA law to ban plagiarists for a year from using print
A few naysayers may argue that print bans might be hard to enforce, and that banning communication based on mere accusations of wrongdoing raises some minor issues of due process and free speech. But if those issues don't trouble us in the Internet setting, why should they trouble us here? Yes, if banned from using print, some students will be unable to do their school work, some adults will face minor inconvenience in their daily lives, and a few troublemakers will not be allowed to participate in -- or even listen to -- political debate. Maybe they'll think more carefully the next time, before allowing themselves to be accused of copyright infringement. In short, a three-strikes system is just as good an idea for print as it is for the Internet. Which country will be the first to adopt it? Once we have adopted three-strikes for print, we can move on to other media. Next on the list: three-strikes systems for sound waves, and light waves. These media are too important to
