POPSUPDATE: Israel Moves Prisoners, Bodies Ahead Of Swap
Although polls show Israelis solidly endorse the exchange, many see Kantar as the embodiment of evil. In the dead of night on April 22, 1979, Kantar and three other gunmen made their way in a rubber dinghy from Lebanon to the sleepy Israeli coastal town of Nahariya, five miles south of the border. There, in a hail of gunfire and exploding grenades, they killed a policeman who stumbled upon them, then burst into the apartment of Danny Haran, herding him and his 4-year-old daughter out of the house at gunpoint to the beach below, where they were killed. The attack is seared in Israel's collective consciousness because witnesses recounted that Kantar shot Danny Haran in front of his child, then killed her by smashing her skull against a rock with his rifle butt. Israel held on to Kantar for decades, hoping to use him as a bargaining chip to wring some information about missing Israeli airman, Ron Arad. Hezbollah relayed a report to Israel about Arad........

POPSYemen: 8-year-old girl forced to marry, demands divorce Nujood’s case is considered the first of its kind where a minor prosecutes her father for marrying her off at a young age and subjecting her to harm . Early marriage is “one of the biggest development challenges in Yemen,” said Naseem Ur Rehman, chief information officer for UNICEF in Sana’a . A 2006 field study revealed that child marriage among Yemeni girls reached 52.1%, compared to 6.7% among males. The study, conducted by the Woman and Development Study Center, affiliated to Sana’a University, disclosed that marriage age raised gradually from an average of 10.24 years to 14.70 years for women and from 20.97 to 21.54 years for men. It indicated that the average marriage age varies from one geographical area to another; for example, it showed that girls in Hodeidah and Hadramout married at the average age of eight, while in Mukalla the average age was 10.

POPSNorway Joins Ranks of the Enlightened: Allows Gay Marriage & Adoption Good for them. I wonder if the USA will join the enlightened in the next decade or two. I think not. Our Puritanism still blights our thinking and conscience. But, then, I didn't think I'd see the day an African American would be the nominee for President of a major political party. But it is happening. Change, as it were, can have its own momentum, sweep us up and deposit us in places we never anticipated.

POPSMale circumcision is a weapon in the sperm wars
In some forms of mutilation, the handicap to sperm competition is obvious. There is subincision, for example, where cuts are made to the base of the penis. This causes sperm to be ejaculated from the base rather than the end, and is performed in several Aboriginal Australian societies, says Wilson. In some African and Micronesian cultures, young men have one of their testicles crushed. Male genital mutilation makes it less likely that a male will manage to father a child with another man's wife, Wilson says. Home advantage Circumcision is one of the less painful forms of mutilation, but it is also less effective at reducing sperm competition. Wilson suggests, however, that the lack of a foreskin could make insertion or ejaculation slower, meaning brief, illicit sex is less likely to come to fruition and lead to a pregnancy. Younger men, he says, willingly submit to having their reproductive ability reduced because they benefit socially from the older men, by forming allian

POPSParadox of the false positive "Here's how that works: imagine that you've got a disease that strikes one in a million people, and a test for the disease that's 99% accurate. You administer the test to a million people, and it will be positive for around 10,000 of them – because for every hundred people, it will be wrong once (that's what 99% accurate means). Yet, statistically, we know that there's only one infected person in the entire sample. That means that your "99% accurate" test is wrong 9,999 times out of 10,000!" "If we were good at understanding statistics, then here's what would happen when you flew to Las Vegas. You'd step out of McCarran airport, stare down the Strip at all those glittering, palatial casinos and say to yourself, "Holy crap – think of all the suckers who must have lost everything to finance this place!" Instead, our foolish minds are filled with thoughts like, "Man, look at all the money in this town – I'm going to win big!" And another casino is built."
