POPSThe Real Risks Associated with Skipping Vaccinations The Article Continues: If your newborn gets pertussis, for example, there is a 1 percent chance that the baby will die of pulmonary hypertension or other complications. The risk of dying from the pertussis vaccine, by contrast, is practically nonexistent

POPSObama Administration and Medical Marijuana Good to see some progress on this issue. I think that, given current law, this policy strikes a good balance. It recognizes that recreational use of marijuana is illegal but that there are medicinal benefits of using this drug that should not be ignored. We don't allow recreational use of morphine, but we don't deny that the drug is useful. We can at least do that for pot.

POPSBerlusconi - Not Immune from Suit Good call by the Italian Constitutional Court, but what is up with Italy? Burlusconi is cracking down on media outlets that critizize him (and he already controls most Italian media). Memory can not be so short as to not be worried about the return of El Duce.

POPSPrice of Typical Detroit House - $7,100 Seriously? This is a headline from the Wall Street Journal. You have to subscribe to actually read the article. I drove through Detroit a decade ago and the place looked bombed out back then.

POPSR-71 Update - Error rate is high Those wanting to get R-71 onto the ballot began with a cushion of 17,112 signatures and could sustain an error rate of 12.42%. Currently the error rate is at 13.31% of the 23,457 signatures that have been processed. Their cushion now stands at 13,900. If the error rate remains at 13.31% the referendum will fall 1215 signature short.

POPSRefrendum 1 - Bag Fee - Seattle Excellent well reasoned article from the reluctant pro side. I'm still on the fence but still likely to vote no. I already reduce my bag consumption (could do better). I think 20cents across the board (both plastic and paper) is unwarranted. Either ban the plastic or have a tiered fee (15cents for plastic and 8cents for paper).

POPSSpace Station Toilet I wonder if the sitting position is really the best option for space toilet use or if it is just the system we know on earth so the engineers adapted that for space. I'm sure it is easier to engineer here on earth than anything that might be created in space itself.

POPSWhy Political Gaffes are Benificial "The more concerned you are to avoid saying anything wrong or offensive, the less likely you are to say anything inspiring or true." If Sotomayor has been hyper vigilant about not making a gaff she would never have inspired many a young woman with her wise Latina remark.

POPSA Defense of Bud Light That light crap was meant to be drunk by the gallon. OK I get it now, still pass me an Alaska Amber and I'll sip one to my buddy's 5 Bud Lights.
