POPSLike Convergence, Aggregation Is Better In Theory an interesting take, see what Louis Gray says at the end:" I have to believe that aggregation tools are interesting, and useful to a small minority of people. Lifestreaming tools are fun for individuals to highlight their activity. Sites are out there that do a good job, and more are coming, but I am thinking that "aggregation" is the new "convergence". It looks great on paper, and some people will carry a Swiss Army Knife with them everywhere, but most won't.

POPSElectronic Waste - A Call For Change It goes deeper into the way electronic gadgets are manufactured. People have noticed this for a long while but no one had/has done anything to change the real cause of this problem. No one questions why a perfectly good TV, stereo, printer etc has to get thrown away because a very minor part no longer functions and manufacturers make it more expensive to buy the replacement part that would fix it. So, it works out cheaper for people to throw it out and buy a new one. Everyone knows this, but why is this allowed to continue. Printers are soooo cheap, but the ink to refill is expensive. It is cheaper to use the printer once, throw it out and buy a new one compared to replacing the ink. The list goes on... Doesn't this have to change??? Isn't this the real culprit???

POPSChild rapist strikes again The latest victim's father, a 35-year old printer from Greater Manchester, said: 'Our son was abused not only by this lad but also in effect by the British legal system that was supposed to protect him. 'I always thought people who commit such serious offences like rape automatically go to prison - yet this boy was allowed to go free. He was even allowed back onto the estate where he lived. 'In my eyes if someone commits an adult or grown up crime then they should serve an adult or grown up sentence - not be molecoddled by the courts and told to get treatment. 'My son is six years old now but as a result of what happened his childhood innocence has probably been robbed. Heaven only knows what effect it will have in him in the years to come.

POPSPostcard From Canada: Why I Missed Obama's Speech 
I doubled over on the counter, breathing through the pain (those long-ago Bradley childbirth classes are still paying off). Moments later, a nurse appeared to check me in. With a quick swipe of my BC provincial care card, my complete medical files glimmered onto his computer screen. He put a thermometer in my mouth, then confirmed the basic data while a printer spit out my wristband. The whole check-in process took under three minutes. Second: You don't realize how much politics -- in this case, the war on drugs -- has warped medical care until you see how differently non-American doctors and nurses deal with pain management. Since Canada sees drug abuse as a social problem, not a law enforcement one, it's stubbornly resisted several ham-handed attempts by the American government to get it to crack down on doctors who persist in seeing codeine and morphine as useful medications. While Health Canada does keeps tabs on individual doctors' prescribing habits, docs are given vastly more

POPSPalin, Cloward, Piven and Kafka Some of the complaints her legal team responded to were simply absurd. Complaint alleging interference in a job hiring was filed under the name of Edna Birch, a busybody character on the British soap opera Emmerdale. Palin's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, said no one by that name could be found living in Alaska and the filer refused to use a real name, so the complaint was dismissed Feb. 20. Forget about the fairness or irrationality of this complaint. The mere fact that she had to engage an attorney to respond to it means anyone with a computer, printer and a few stamps can force a politician to incur thousands of dollars in legal fees. And while these sort of Kafkaesque tribunals have normally been reserved for prominent Americans, we might all get to participate in the future.

POPSRare copy of Declaration of Independence found The last Dunlap print to be found was sold at an auction for $8.14 million in 2000. National Archives officials said they weren't sure how the Declaration of Independence copy ended up there. Archives spokeswoman Frances McDarby said it was "possible that an American coastal vessel was intercepted by the British navy and that is how the document was able to come into our possession." The prints, known collectively as the Dunlap Broadside, were the first copies of the Declaration of Independence. They were printed by John Dunlap of Philadelphia and distributed to political and military leaders, including George Washington, and dispatched throughout the colonies to be read to the public.

POPSHappy Birthday Irish Times
And as he leaves Cork three days later, he announces that it is "the most entertaining country to travel in that I ever saw". Unfortunately for the reader, Hale's isn't the most entertaining book you ever saw. His printer was doing more than saving paper when recommending that he keep it brief. Yet, for a glimpse at the Ireland of 1859, the book holds some fascination, not least in how he describes the countryside in the years after the Famine. Already, cottages have fallen into ruin, largely because they've been stripped of every bit of wood almost immediately: doors, roof, all gone. "But they tell me every thing is thriving here now; and I can well believe it," says Hale. "The solidity of the roads on which I have been travelling, all over Ireland, is one memorial of the good which was educed out of the evil of the famine. The British Government met its responsibilities nobly in that terrible year." To say that in 1859 Ireland was "thriving" would be overstating it a bit, altho

POPSPub finds smoking ban loophole......... this is not a place were you can have a beer and smoke think about it you still have to leave the main pub and go in to a diff room so loophole for smoking in a pub you decide i don't think so god i no a pub that done the same thing except they just opened a spare room up and said it had nothing to do with the buisness making it residential so if the landlord invites you in to that room you bacome a visitor not a customer and doing that means you do not attract attention because the council that the pub in the story is won't take this kindly the landlady has brought attention to herself and i would think the council will do something about this
