POPS Murder of Natalia Estemirova ;Will Russia punish the killers? Natasha was well known outside Russia as someone who sought justice and accountability for abuses by all sides to the conflict in Chechnya. We honored her with the Human Rights Watch Defender Award in 2007. Natasha had also been honored by various European institutions: In 2005 she received the European Parliament's Robert Shuman medal and in 2004 was awarded the "Right to Life" award by the Swedish Parliament. She also was the first recipient of the Anna Politkovskaya prize -- named for the journalist who met the same fate. While the international community applauded her work, the Chechen authorities were not as pleased. She risked, and lost, her life for her cause. We are planning a concerted response to ensure that Russia does not let this crime go uninvestigated or forgotten.Shared sentiment with chara and thnx... www.hrw.org

POPSAnother nice review of Amplify We haven't been seeking out the reviews, but nice to see Amplify getting noticed. I clipped this paragraph because it speaks to one of the reasons we created Amplify as a separate service from Clipmarks. We really didn't want to disturb the user experience or community on Clipmarks.com, but we wanted a way to better support Twitter and Facebook users as well as groups. We felt the best way to do this would be to create Amplify as a separate service from Clipmarks, but giving Clipmarks users the option to sync the two.

POPS'iTunes university' better than the real thing 
Students who downloaded the podcast averaged a C (71 out of 100) on the test - substantially better than those who attended the lecture, who on average mustered only a D (62). But that difference vanished among students who watched the podcast but did not take notes.Students who listened to the podcast one or more times and took notes had an average score of 77, McKinney says. To find out how much students really can learn from podcast lectures alone - mimicking a missed class - McKinney's team presented 64 students with a single lecture on visual perception, from an introductory psychology course. Half of the students attended the class in person and received a printout of the slides from the lecture. The other 32 downloaded a podcast that included audio from the same lecture synchronised with video of the slides. These students also received a printed handout of the material. The researchers told the students they would be tested on the material in a week, and they also asked

POPSHow To Beat a Traffic Ticket Contest it. If you do get a ticket, paying your fine in most jurisdictions is an admission of guilt. Be sure to read the fine print, but if you can make the time to appear in court, you automatically have a pretty good chance of beating it - in many courts if the issuing officer does not appear to testify, your case will be dismissed entirely. And apparently, requesting an extension on your ticket increases the odds even further that your cop won't show. Finally, just remember that while a lot of offenses can be rather trivial, some violations like drinking and driving can result in serious injury or death. So drive safely, and pay attention to driving laws, even when they're stupid.

POPSPeople love to give each other advice.Me too,Click blues The web is full to bursting with all types of pseudo-psychological advice about life. The problem is, how much of this is based on real scientific evidence? Well, here on PsyBlog we've got the scientific evidence. So here's my top 10 list of what you can learn practically from the psychological research discussed here recently.

POPSNow What? President faces a crisis like many households in America. To show this trend even better I added another line to the chart. This is the 50-day moving average. As you can see the XHB is still trading below this important indicator. In the last two months XHB moved above the 50-day moving average, but couldn’t hold onto the gains. Also the moving average is still in a down slope (never a good sign). I like this indicator because it looks at longer term trends. Despite all the fundamental reasons to look at the housing market, the technicals say watch out.

POPSFails His First Hard Choice The phrase "defining deviancy down" to capture how society tolerates behavior previously considered unacceptable. Obama has defined deviancy up by minimizing Geithner's clearly intentional cheating. Now why, given his wealth, he prepared his own taxes. My guess is that he wanted to keep his omissions to himself. Don't many people cheat some on their taxes? Perhaps. But obviously that should disqualify them from becoming secretary of the treasury. Kissinger cronie says it all.More crims & crooks means Kissinger & Co will go on murdering and robbing the indigenous people in West Papua I have big doubts this guy has the maturity not to be influenced by the shysters.Worlds biggest celebrity.. OK, lets see about some justice , equity and equality for those oppressed,(not put a fox in charge of the chook house) or is it all well crafted rhetoric.

POPSSalad production on mass scale~UK agriculture Britain's largest greenhouse which will increase by 15% the UK's crop of salad vegetables. This kind of industrial agriculture is relatively common in the Netherlands and elsewhere but has never been attempted on this scale in the UK. But with British consumers increasingly demanding British salad vegetables, all year round, a consortium of Dutch growers approached Fresca, the UK's largest fresh produce supplier, with a plan to develop a site in Britain. Having broken the seasonality of salad vegetable production in Britain, McVicars the site's MD,believes that clear regional branding is the way forward, and he hopes the site's produce will be clearly marked with their provenance. The first Thanet Earth products will appear on supermarket shelves from October.

POPSPeruvian Gift to the World~3rd most important food source in World Comes from the Andes & grown for 8000 years.World food security has ensured that its importance as an important source of food be brought to our attention. Having a sustainable growing systems guide and campaign called, International Year of the Potato..... .A United Nations international year once actually meant something.The potato is already an integral part of the global food system. It is the world’s number one non-grain food commodity, with production reaching a record 325 million tonnes in 2007. Potato consumption is expanding strongly in developing countries, which now account for more than half of the global harvest and where the potato’s ease of cultivation and high energy content have made it a valuable cash crop for millions of farmers. . In Peru, for example, the government has acted to reduce costly wheat imports by encouraging people to eat bread that includes potato flour. In China, the world's biggest potato producer, agriculture experts have proposed that potato

POPSWall Street: It's payback time.They took your money & wrecked the Economy Wall street wankers rooted the worlds economy they want to jump if they dont know way we,re happy to show them...It's no defense for an executive who bends the truth to say that he did so only to prevent a run-on-the-bank-type situation, says one criminal-defense lawyer. (The lawyer requests anonymity because in this climate, he notes, such an on-the-record statement might lose him some business opportunities.) Even if the executive thinks that short-sellers are spreading lies about his company, he can't respond in kind. If he does, this lawyer says, "he's betting the farm. He's betting his life.""This is the ugliest enforcement environment I've ever seen in my professional career," says one criminal- defense lawyer, who also asks for anonymity.The prosecutors are to look for unambiguous, intentional wrongdoing - and since a lay jury will be the official scorer here, the simpler the wrongdoing, the better.

POPSOne Law for Them another for Us!!! Australia sends home Indonesian shark fishermen and has aid programmes for their communities re turle breeding etc.Billions has been given in aid ,2000 schools have been built by our generosity .In West Papua the good land has been stolen from tribal & Melanesian locals and given to resettlement of Javanese.SOUNDS FAMILIAR !! Their Kopass (like SS nazi,s) infamous in East Timor get trained in Australia.They have buoght a Russian fleet with money better spent on education & health little of which they do in West Papua.Their main concern is genocide trans migration and robbing the province of its recources. The UN ignores problem despite not recognising the annexation as it is manipulated by Religious states lobbying against another vote by the people a la East Timor. Muslim Indonesia cares only for Muslims.Siezed aircraft will be a corrupt officials prize no doubt.

POPS Healthy Heart Jump Start Plant sterols have been added to common foods like vegetable oil spreads (margarine), mayonnaise, dairy-based drinks, orange juice and snack bars. Foods containing at least 0.4 grams per serving of plant sterols eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 0.8 grams, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.......Note your spread it can be an easy way to increase sterols as by them selves natural food only contains small amounts.....It would take about 100 pounds of fruits, vegetables or nuts to get 2 grams of natural plant sterols

POPSRomantic Movies That Stir Our Emotions I am a hopeless romantic . Of course the movies are a wonderfull experience for our entertainment but in real life like a garden we need to continue to work on our relationships for them to contiue to bear fruit. In the movies too as in life it doesnt all work out as in the 'The Way we Were" (the chemistry between Redford and Streisand is undeniable), ultimately these differences prove too much for them to overcome. “The final scene gets me every time: Katie and Hubbell run into each other years after they've split. He has a glamorous new woman on his arm. She tells him, wistfully, 'Your girl is lovely, Hubbell.'"

POPSWomen’s Right Activist Beheaded in Iraqi Kurdistan Democracy seems to have a high price for the most vunerable.We must vigorously demand the arrest and punishment of these murderers by the government of Iraqi Kurdistan. This reactionary government by creating a de facto Islamic state and co-operating with the Islamic forces and exercising tribal and Islamic laws has created a safe heaven for the Islamists and forces of reaction. Women have become the main targets of these forces. These are the conditions that have led to Nahla Hussain’s brutal murder and the US has do more on civil law front, since they destroyed Saddams rule of law.
