POPSThe end of Men? A surprising number of animals can reproduce without male involvement if there is no other option. Sharks and lizards have demonstrated this ability in captivity. It was previously believed that the process was impossible in mammals such as humans because male sperm cells and female egg cells undergo a process called imprinting. In imprinting, sections of each cell’s genome are silenced to allow the set of genes from the other parent to be expressed, so that when the egg and sperm cells combine, the genes in the resulting embryo are not competing with each other. It has now been discovered that it is possible to interrupt this process by deleting just two sections of genetic material on the genomes of female mice – animals very similar, for reproductive purposes, to humans.

POPSTHE SOCIETY OF MUISC THEORY AND THE TEMPO OF THE BEATLES Is anyone supposed to take this type of analysis seriously? "Features slow tempi with a fast feel???" Could ya be like, any more vague" Is this a REMOTELY OBJECTIVE WAY to discuss tempo? The author is just hoping that by that point in the article, all points of critical thought rendering you able to distinguish between a an oversimplified , generalization sentence and a sentence that actually asserts a truth is gone. Is is *that* hard to say what "tempi" he means - wait - that would mean actually *calibrating the tempo in a tetsable, repeatable manner. Oops. Hunter Newman

POPSsocial "science" definition of groove classic example of the manner in which the terms groove, rhythm, tempo & timing are thrown around without *real* meaning. That which means everything means nothing. Also to note: the selfish bitchiness of each area: teh music therapists, the social scientists, the biological physicists - all screming to the sky--NOT to each other.

POPSSize Matters in Magazine Covers - Newsweek propagandizes a Gender message through Rachael Ray If Racheael Ray Gets Newsweek's Cover ("Women & Power, Oct 15, 2007), with her hands on her revealed breasts with that Ray-esque expression that screams - "can you *believe* how adorable I am? No? Me either!!!" - in the front, a second Arianna Huffington 75% RR's size, and the least "photogenic" African-American Mayor Shirley Franklin on 75% of Huffington's size, what do we as men and women REALLY think of gender roles. I have never seen a more- women, economic times are tough, unemploymen is around the corner--therefore: women-back-to-the-kitchen propagandized op in my life.
