POPSAmazing image of the ash plume from Cleveland Volcano (Alaska) See complete story here: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=13597 Ash Plume from Cleveland Volcano At 3:00 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time on May 23, 2006, Flight Engineer Jeff Williams from International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 13 contacted the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) to report that the Cleveland Volcano had produced a plume of ash. Shortly after the activity began, he took this photograph. This picture shows the ash plume moving west-southwest from the volcano’s summit. A bank of fog (upper right) is a common feature around the Aleutian Islands. The event proved to be short-lived; two hours later, the plume had completely detached from the volcano (see image from May 24). The AVO reported that the ash cloud height could have been as high as 6,000 meters (20,000 feet) above sea level.

POPSHow not to build a community: Part II: Listen to John Nash Almost every client and company I've ever worked with has ached to reach the "blonde", but I continue to advise them to pay attention to the brunette (and redhead and all the other variations of hair colour). The long tail is chunky and has more possibilities than anyone can imagine. The thing is, the brunette is gorgeous and interesting, but she just wasn't as noticeable. She's also not used to the attention, so is much more approachable. It's up to you to look past the "blonde" and pay attention to the ignored, underrepresented and under-served.

POPSThe Origins of Net Neutrality Telecommunications companies and their suppliers have been nursing dreams of a more flexible Internet -- one flexible enough to allow tiered pricing -- for years. Whitacre's only indiscretion was to make these ambitions so starkly public that they couldn't be swept back under the rug.
