POPSFace the Voters Bob Schieffer of Face The Nation ~ http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/FTN_010310.pdf?tag=cbsnewsTwoColUpperPromoArea Really, what have the Obami done well? Not the stimulus plan. Not crafting a popular and coherent health-care bill. And not instilling confidence that there are competent people who can, when bombarded with intelligence, put it together to prevent an attack or even craft a policy designed to extract information after an attack. But Bob Schieffer, not exactly a fire-breathing conservative, really laid into the Obami. The problem is not only competence but also trust. The Democrats are consumed with political spin even on national security. He notes that Janet Napolitano was getting hammered but explains that this is a symptom of a bigger issue: But she was just following the modern bipartisan public relations template in this age of information management. First, play down the problem.

POPSThe Commonality of Diverse Animal Calls "Our results indicate that, for all species, basic features of acoustic communication are primarily controlled by individual metabolism, which in turn varies predictably with body size and temperature. So, when the calls are adjusted for an animal's size and temperature, they even sound alike." (James Gillooly, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the department of biology at UF's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and a member of the UF Genetics Institute)

POPSThe Psychology of Cyberspace John Suler, Ph.D. Department of Psychology, Science and Technology Center Rider University. There is a rapidly growing field of 'cyberpsychology': the contents here suggest some of the areas of focus. Clearly, business and marketing research are well represented in studies; another interesting area of study is the social site as a virtual laboratory for studying human personality, motivation,etc; related to the latter the pressing question of how internet relationships (e.g. friendship, group, lover) interact with individuals' lives beyond the internet.

POPS Obama's Legacy That far exceeds what's needed to turn on the lights, but it's also beyond what's needed for a basic nuclear weapons program. Consider North Korea, which manufactured two limited yield nuclear weapons using only a plutonium reactor, a plutonium reprocessing facility, and -- presumably -- some sort of weapons laboratory. Why is Iran pumping billions more into building and protecting triple the number of facilities required to build a basic nuclear weapon, akin to the Fat Man or Little Boy bombs detonated in 1945? The answer could be that Tehran is skipping basic weapons construction and moving towards an advanced thermonuclear design. Consider that they've already experimented with advanced weapons designs like two-point implosion, nuclear triggers, and have built their own facility at Arak that could be used to produce both tritium, which is a suspected boosting agent in hydrogen bomb designs, as well as weapons-grade plutonium.
