POPSLet's travel back in time (way back in time)... This is astounding. The sheer size of universe, measured in both space and time is simply impossible for me to comprehend. In trying to consider this, I can't help but feel all the more perplexed by the insanity of our world. Wars are fought and hatred persists because of religious beliefs that are based on historical events that supposedly happened over the past few thousand years - yet the Hubble Telescope looks back into space/time at galaxies that have been around for 13.2 billion years. I find these things impossible to reconcile.

POPSAsk The Brain How very true. I set some extremely difficult goals last year and actually stuck to them all. Sense of achievement aside, sometimes I feel like I've done "time."

POPSTHE JURY IS STILL OUT! As for actual historic achievement, the jury is still out. Let's see what happens with health care, the climate bill and financial re-regulation first. Above all, the new Afghanistan policy needs to play out for at least a few months before we assess the new regime's biggest risk to date. At the same time, actual events in 2009 did resolve some of the political questions that beguiled us just one year ago. Let's take them in Letterman order. Continued at source: disc.yourwebapps.com

POPSBarack Obama Gets An ‘F’ for Protecting Americans 
In his studied desire to be the unBush by responding coolly to events like this, Obama is dangerously close to failing as a leader. Yes, it is good not to shoot from the hip and make broad assertions without the facts. But Obama took three days before speaking to the American people, emerging on Monday in between golf and tennis games in Hawaii to deliver a rather tepid address that significantly underplayed what happened. He described Abdulmutallab as an “isolated extremist” who “allegedly tried to ignite an explosive device on his body” " phrases that indicate a legalistic, downplaying approach that alarms rather than reassures. Today’s words showed a lot more fire and desire to get on top of things " we’ll see whether Obama follows through with action. In the meantime, he went snorkelling. There has been a pattern developing with the Obama administration trying to minimise terrorist attacks. We saw it with Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad, a Muslim convert who murdered

POPSReport: Bin Laden Daughter Escapes Captors "They are all just innocent victims, just the same as anyone else hurt by the dreadful events of 9/11 and 7/7. These babies and children have never had any education, never hurt a single soul, never trained with any weapons or ever been part of al-Qaeda," bin Laden told the paper. "We just want to be together as a family."............. Osama was a millionaire and his kids are uneducated...yet he educates young, dumb muslims to be martyrs for HIS Jihad

POPSClearest sign yet of dark matter detected "Had the experiment seen five events above the expected background, the claim for having detected dark matter would have been a lot stronger. Nonetheless, the team cannot dismiss the possibility that the two events are because of dark matter." "Space-based telescopes like PAMELA have seen particles that could be coming from the annihilation of dark matter in our galaxy. Similar sightings have been made by a balloon-based experiment called ATIC. Soon, the Large Hadron Collider will be starting to smash protons together in the hopes of creating dark matter."

POPS Norwegians Incensed Over Barack Obama's Snubs He should respect the monarchy," she told VG. Although Obama will not lunch with King Harald, he will see him on a visit to the royal palace White House officials said that Obama, who was planning to work on the final draft of his speech on his flight from Washington to Oslo, would directly address the issue of the irony of being awarded the peace prize while escalating the war. The Nobel peace committee has been criticised for awarding Obama the prize before he has any major accomplishments in international relations. A White House official said that it was not necessarily an award that Obama would have given himself. Also: Obama's Nobel snub angers Norwegians http://bit.ly/8WnG1N

POPSWhy antidepressants don't work for so many people More: The biochemical events that ultimately result in depression actually start in the development and functioning of neurons. "The medications have been focusing on the effect, not the cause," she said. "That's why it takes so long for them to work and why they aren't effective for so many people." Her animal model of depression did not show dramatic differences in the levels of genes controlling neurotransmitters functions. "If depression was related to neurotransmitter activity, we would have seen that," she said. Her findings in depressed rats, she said, are very likely applicable to humans. "The similarities between these regions of the human and rodent brain are remarkable," Redei explained. "The hippocampus and amygdala are part of the so-called ancient lizard brain that controls survival and are the same in even primitive organisms."
