POPSChina unveils 'world's fastest train link' Test runs for the service began earlier in December and the link officially went into service when the first scheduled train left the eastern metropolis of Wuhan on Saturday. By comparison, the average for high-speed trains in Japan was 243 kilometres per hour while in France it was 277 kilometres per hour, said Xu Fangliang, general engineer in charge of designing the link, according to Xinhua. Beijing has an ambitious rail development programme aimed at increasing the national network from the current 86,000 kilometres to 120,000 kilometres, making it the most extensive rail system outside the United States. China unveiled its first high-speed line at the time of the Beijing Olympics in 2008 -- a service linking the capital with the port city of Tianjin.

POPSChina's high speed train line completed in just 4 years Now this is real stimulus. The U.S. has nothing like this. The only "stimulus" the present idiotic administration can come up with is throwing good money at the useless trade unions in the auto industry for more votes and payback for their support, and to bail out the fat cats in banks and on wall street. It is clear to me. this trojan horse empty suit is trying to wreck our economy.

POPSAre the Holy Grail and Ark of the Covenant Hidden...in Denmark?!? "It is undeniable that those who planned and built the churches of Bornholm knew exactly what they were doing and why they did it,'' the authors say. The authors point to a find of nearly 3,000 tiny, intricately carved golden figures unearthed in a 1985-86 excavation of a Bornholm field as lending credibility to their claim of a Bornholm connection. The golden figures have been dated to AD 400-600 when the Merovingians -- a clan of Frankish kings who claimed to be, like Jesus, of the house and lineage of the Bible's King David -- were at the height of their power. Descendants of the Merovingians later settled in Burgundy. In medieval times, the island was known as Burgunderland or Burgunderholm. The book also quotes a AD 417 work by Spanish historian Orosius, which says the Burgundians came from Bornholm. http://www.rense.com/general6/baltic.htm *LOL* I love stuff like this. .:p

POPSUS Health Tech for Licensing - Interested? Our tax dollars pay for all sorts of inventions, research, etc. All of it may be licensed and sold for a profit and/or improved upon. These are healthcare related - so there is one on a different treatment for AIDS and another for a different way to isolate viruses for vaccine production. Not exactly money for nothing but one of the users reading this might be in the market - eh?

POPSCharitable Organization Funds To Preserve Journalism? The report is asking “philanthropic organizations to support local reporting.” That’s where the tax comes in " or fees " to be gathered in some fashion from telecom or internet providers.” I might not object if a clear definition of “journalism,” and adherence to that definition, must be met to get the nonprofit status. Of course, it all depends on the definition of the trade " like defining what “is” is. Next will be White House ordered legislation assuring that FOX News is excluded from “nonprofit status.” I cannot credit this report by linking to it, because the “original source” says I cannot (but never mind, they want me to donate to keep their less-than-honest endeavors alive) but go to Breitbart.com type in some keywords and you’ll find it.

POPSThis doesn't look too good for smartough diplomacy
If this turns out to be true, then it just fits the same sad-sack pattern of all of Obama's diplomacy so far: "engagement" and appeasement as a tradeoff for rebuffs and humiliation. Maybe world powers don't want to negotiate and engage. Maybe they want to get as much power and wealth as they can, while they can. Maybe negotiation and engagement are just playing into their hands, then. Stratfor Intelligence Guidance for today says, Ballistic missile defense (BMD) as a military system had no significance for either Poland or the Czech Republic. It was not designed to defend them. Rather, its presence was a symbol to both countries that the United States was prepared to defend them, because it has a vital strategic asset in their countries. The shock in Poland and Czech Republic is about a symbolic shift from their point of viewAnd furthermore, The timing of the decision is clearly intended to induce Russian cooperation with the United States over Iran. The question is whether the

"By countless scientific accounts, far more dangerous to human health than any reported incidences of Swine Flu are the dangers of severe health issues including paralysis, brain damage and even death arising from what is added to vaccines by virtually every major vaccine maker. Almost without exception, all commercial vaccines today contain various substances known as adjuvants designed to make the vaccine “work.” These adjuvants are the source of horrendous and sometimes deadly damage."

My friends in Johannesburg use those Internet cafes to message me, we can't use the chat because it takes so long. When they use Google's gmail, on their cellphones, it is almost immediate.

POPSUnexplained Phenomenon Google Logo: Can You Explain It? telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/ flooded with inquiries and theories on the subliminal message. The logo, showing a classic saucer-shaped spacecraft shining a light down on the search-engine's regular logo, has been the subject of much speculation. The world's internet voices want to now whether the all-powerful web giant is trying to tell us something. But nobody can work out why Google has chosen this date to put a UFO logo on the world's most visited web page. "Does anybody know what's going on?" asks one. "Aliens landed on Earth this day last year," offers another blogger by way of explanation. Some think Google's global dominance may extend beyond this planet. "If Google says the aliens are coming, I'm getting out of here," says one US blogger. One of the things bothering the online community is that early on Saturday morning the new logo could be seen in some places, but not others. "Am I the one that is going crazy?" asks

POPSPresident Obama unshackles Global AIDS Work from ideological Bush restrictions In new guidelines for 2010, the Obama Pepfar team opened the way to linking AIDS work with strengthening of health systems generally, taking into account the development of human resources, maternal and child health, family planning and access to it for women, gender equality, malaria and tuberculosis, food and nutrition, education and local economies. While Pepfar money may not be involved directly, the program's door will be open for cooperation. It is, in short, a holistic and realistic policy. It will matter because the United States is the world's largest contributor to HIV/AIDS relief, and Bush restrictions have had a deadening effect on many international programs. An estimated tens of millions of women who want contraceptives are unable to get them, or may have no choice beyond crude sterilization or unsafe abortion.

POPSA DRIVE TO SAVE LIFTA
Main Issues: • The original Palestinian inhabitants of Lifta, their memories of the village, their exile and longing to return to Lifta are not mentioned, or even consideredby the Municipality Master Plan. • Lifta captures the moment of destruction of Palestinian life in 1948. Its 3,000 original inhabitants fled – mostly to East Jerusalem and to the Ramallah area. However, unlike many of the 530 Palestinian villages and towns conquered and bulldozed during the war of 1947/48, a few of Lifta’s houses remain almost intact, yet deserted and declared ‘officially’ resettled. • These set of circumstances have placed Lifta in a unique position: its original inhabitants are still around, living in the OPT and the Chicago area with a desire that the injustices done in 1948 be acknowledged and repaired. • In Israel, renovation projects are frequently used to build a national narrative, ignoring the deep contradictions between planning and human rights that inevitably arise out of suc
