POPSNow, global cooling I hope that we begin to see scientist talking about solar activity being the prime source of natural climate change. Although, I am sure that Al will think of a way to make us all feel guilty about the absence of sunspots.

POPSA friend or a crow ?-) "After their experiments on campus, Marzluff and his students tested the effect with more realistic masks. Using a half-dozen students as models, they enlisted a professional mask maker, then wore the new masks while trapping crows at several sites in and around Seattle. The researchers then gave a mix of neutral and dangerous masks to volunteer observers who, unaware of the masks' histories, wore them at the trapping sites and recorded the crows' responses. The reaction to one of the dangerous masks was "quite spectacular," said one volunteer, Bill Pochmerski, a retired telephone company manager who lives near Snohomish. "The birds were really raucous, screaming persistently," he said, "and it was clear they weren't upset about something in general. They were upset with me."

POPSThe math of elephants I find it remarkable; it points that the definition we use for what is intelligence and how is it distributed, must evolve.

POPSPelosi rants. Announcing the Democrats' bold new "plan" on energy last week, Pelosi said breaking into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve "is one alternative." That's not an energy plan. It's using what we already have -- much like "conservation," which is also part of the Democrats' plan. Conservation, efficiency and using oil we hold in reserve for emergencies does not get us more energy. It's as if we were running out of food and the Democrats were telling us: "Just eat a little less every day." Great! We'll die a little more slowly. That's not what we call a "plan." We need more energy, not a plan for a slower death.

POPSWomen Power- Educated Women and Babies It has been proven for a long time that women who are educated and in control of their lives will not have as many children as their un-educated counterparts. Give women control of their economics and the effect is startling.

POPSWind, Solar and Clean Coal Blow Into Denver for communications at the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, which uses scrubbers and other technologies to limit coal’s environmental effect. Lucas said the coal industry decided to spend $1.7 million on a multipronged advertising campaign in Denver and the Twin Cities, where the Republican convention will be held next week. Like the wind industry, clean coal had virtually no presence in 2004, Lucas said. The solar industry has also radically increased its coverage of the convention. In Minneapolis-St. Paul, the SEIA contributed to the host committee through its membership in the Republican Governors Association. (Solar Energy Industries Association) It is also hosting a party in Denver and jointly hosting a party with the wind association in Minneapolis.

POPSCEO's And Their Paychecks Disproportionate, outrageous, rip-off, shear greed, socking it to the people, billions lost to the "fair tax system" and Biden, Obama, McCain and the rest have no real answer, or do they? What a scam. When will people get really ticked off? What does it take?

POPSPolygamy is the key to a long life Men, by contrast, can reproduce well into their 60s and even 70s and 80s, and most researchers assumed this explained their longevity. But Lummaa and colleague Andy Russell wondered whether other factors explained the long lifespan of men, such as a grandfather effect. If female survival is the main explanation for male longevity, then monogamous and polygamous men would live for about the same length of time. Instead, it seems that fathering more kids with more wives leads to increased male longevity. Men, then, live long because they're fertile well into their grey years. The explanation could be both social and genetic. Men who continue fathering kids into their 60s and 70s could take better care for their bodies because they have mouths to feed. But evolutionary forces acting over thousands of years could also select for longer-lived men in polygamous cultures.

POPS'Beer goggles' are real - it's official As well as changing perceptions of attractiveness, alcohol also encourages us to engage in behaviour we would otherwise avoid. In a study by Robert Leeman of Yale University students reported they were more likely to engage in risky sexual acts after drinking - which could be due to alcohol lowering our inhibitions through a direct effect on the brain or by providing a convenient excuse for such behaviour.
