POPSScientists create solar cells with a twist. I suppose it won't be hard to have the power to at least power a Laptop. Perhaps a Solar powered tent for camping. We are finding new ways to transform energy into media we can use, and it, with the open information on the web is only bound to improve dramatically

POPSFBI New Jersey Arrests Focus on Syrian Jewish Rabbis The article details this insulated and tightly regulated Syrian Jewish community, along with their financial enterprises, their interesting history and strict adherence to their religious leaders teachings: The Syrian Jewish communities in Brooklyn and Deal are known for their ability to flourish financially in the secular world , particularly in the garment and electronics industries, while retaining centuries-old religious customs and traditions .....The Syrian Jewish community is also noted for adherence to the absolute authority of its religious leaders , and nowhere is this more evident than in a 1935 ban by Syrian rabbis against intermarriage, including people who converted to Judaism ... The penalty imposed for marrying outside the faith or to a convert is severe: excommunication. One wonders if this was a Christian community with similar traits, how it would be portrayed in the mainstream media, particularly upon such arrests.

POPSArmy Recruiter Killed - Where’s Obama Outrage? Where is the liberal left? This story of the murder of a soldier has conveniently disappeared from the front page of mainstream news media while the Dr. Tiller killing remains front and center. The Doctor’s murder is being used by liberals to fuel their outrage and desire in conjuring up a story of domestic terrorism and having it spun around blaming political commentary host Bill O’Reilly? Why no outrage when a Muslim man, upset with the military, specifically targets a military recruiting center and kills a U.S. soldier? Judging from the White House comments or lack of comments from these two criminal acts what are we to conclude? It would appear that the death of an abortion doctor performing thousands of life-ending procedures carries more political importance than the death of a soldier assisting with recruiting young Americans to defend freedom and liberty.

POPSClimate of Hate, World of Double Standards FTA: "But Obama said nothing. The Justice Department was mum. And so were the legions of finger-pointing pundits happily convicting the pro-life movement and every right-leaning writer on the planet of contributing to the murder of Tiller. Obama's omission, it should be noted, comes just a few weeks after he failed to mention the Bronx jihadi plot to bomb synagogues and a National Guard airbase..." "Why the hesitancy to talk about the motivations of the man who allegedly killed Pvt. William Long?"

POPSFossil "Ida" discovery: This changes everything!!! Evolutionary biologist Stephen Wilton added, "Ida has been waiting for us for 47 million years so I'm grateful that the publication of the paper wasn't rushed and that the whole thing didn't turn into some sort of media circus. You never know when that might happen." Businesses around the world are also hoping that demand for Ida merchandise will stimulate an ailing global economy out of recession. Retailer Bud Hornblower said, "We're seeing a massive spike in demand for fainting couches as ordinary lay people fail to cope with the total change brought on by this small, weird-lookin' monkey thing." Scientists and people who actually know a thing or two about evolution warned of hype and exaggeration but were forced to abandon their reason and critical analysis in the face of incontrovertible speculation that Ida could convert base metals into gold and has already led to the invention of flying cars.

POPSEverything Forgets Continuing: At a computer museum, you can't miss the point that, sooner or later, every recording format eventually gets left in the dust. In fact, these days, new formats are coming faster and faster, and each one expires faster than what came before it. "There's a consensus that as the ability to store more and more data , the data itself has become less and less reliable," said Don Mennerich, an archivist at the New York Public Library. He's been working on preserving some historic 1968 audio interviews with rock stars: Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, The Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Mike Love of The Beach Boys, Phil Everly. In 1996 the library tried to rescue those 30-year-old recordings by transferring them to fresh, brand-new tapes. But Mannerich says now, less than 12 years later, "those tapes are already significantly degraded. "The tape actually, physically will shed against the head of the tape player, u

POPSThe Return of the Robber Barons Another deceit is the measure called “core inflation.” This measure of inflation excludes food and energy, two large components of the average family’s budget. Wall Street and corporations and, therefore, the media emphasize core inflation, because it holds down cost of living increases and interest rates. In the second quarter of this year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a more complete measure of inflation, increased at an annual rate of 5.2 per cent compared to 2.3 per cent for core inflation. An examination of how inflation is measured quickly reveals the games played to deceive the American people. Housing prices are not in the index. Instead, the rental rate of housing is used as a proxy for housing prices. More games are played with the goods and services whose prices comprise the weighted market basket used to estimate inflation. If beef prices rise, for example, the index shifts toward lower priced chicken.

POPSThe Economics Of Democracy In Muslim Countries
The Status of Democracy Index (SDI) measures each country's progress toward democratic governance through multiple variables. First, it measures governance through four variables: how heads of state and members of the legislature are selected; political party development; suffrage; and the maturity of civil liberties The Status of Democracy Index rates each of these nine variables on a three-point scale: 0 (nonexistent), 1 (emerging), or 2 (fully present). Some of the variables, such as media freedom, religious liberty, and respect for human rights, are easy to quantify, whereas measuring human development is more subjective. Economic freedom can be scored on the level of governmental interference in the economy: 0 (strong), 1 (moderate), and 2 (low). It is then possible to convert the totals to a percentage for ease of digestion. Only three of these countries—Mali, Guyana, and Suriname —are considered full democracies. http://www.meforum.org/article/1921

POPSWhen was the last time Bush spoke this straight
1 The media's terming "the speaker" to cast the video's authenticity into doubt is almost laughable - lets face it Osama's not dead - efforts to actually kill him are more laughable. He even name drops Sarkozy's victory and other recent events - its him and scary enough he sounds reasonable 2 Most provocative is his charge against the American people & 'our' democratic system (in USA) seem disturbingly valid. Even now many republicans recognize the corruption which Bush has engaged in and even those who don't accept it, recognize that electioneering has become a game of financing, smear campaigns, talking points, and all around media domination - not individual democratic participation. Is this an indictment of democracy? Or should this be a call to recognize that democracy starts at home? and that America's own corruption is not so remote from the 'backwards' countries it accuses of lacking democracy or frauding elections. I hope we can prove democracy to be better than this
