POPSZenyatta Simply Perfect in Classic and she did so in front of a raucous crowd of 58,825 on Saturday at Santa Anita Park. And she did it in spectacular fashion in her first career start against males, taking her typical position at the back of the field under Racing Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith and charging down the stretch with authority"her stride lengthening and becoming more powerful with every kick"to inhale the leaders and hit the finish line first, just as she did in each one of the previous 13 starts of her brilliant career. “There are tears coming to my eyes,” said trainer John Shirreffs, who won the Breeders’ Cup Ladies' Classic (G1) last year with Zenyatta and this year’s Ladies' Classic on Friday with Life Is Sweet, becoming the first trainer to achieve the rare double in the same season. “I can’t believe it. “She is a great, great filly. She is all heart. The way the crowd took to her was just amazing. They cheered for her; they clapped for her; they love her.

POPSRunning Doc: How to prevent "marathon feet" More: Here are some things you can do to prevent and/or treat "marathon feet": * Train on the same surface you plan to run on. If you are training for a marathon on roads, the treadmill or a soft track will not prepare your body for the pounding… * After the race, and you are urinating normally…you may take (e.g., aspirin or ibuprofen) unless your doctor has told you that you cannot due to a contraindication. * Most important: Immediately upon returning home or to your hotel post-race, soak your feet for 15 minutes in an ice bath. This is the best way to avoid this middle-of-the-night pain. Now, if you have pain the Monday after the event, 15-minute ice baths three times a day and may be necessary for two days to ease the inflammation. If you feel bony tenderness, see a doctor sooner than later -- what you have may not be "marathon feet" but rather a stress or full fracture of a bone in your foot.

POPSIndian Engineer 'builds' new glaciers via Cakebelly (Amplify) cakebelly says: “So far, Mr Norphel’s glaciers have been able to each store up to one million cubic feet of ice, which in turn can irrigate 200 hectares of farm land. For farmers, that can make the difference between crop failure and a bumper crop of more than 1,000 tons of wheat. The “iceman” says he has seen the effects of global warming on farmland as snows have become thinner on the ground and ice rivers have melted away never to return. His own work has now been recognised by the Indian government, which has given him £16,000 to build five new glaciers. But time is his enemy, he told The Hindustan Times. “I’m planning to train villagers with instruction CDs that I have made, so that I can pass on the knowledge before I die,” he said. “

POPSRussia Refuses Call For Tougher Sanctions On Iran, They Would Be “Counterproductive”
President Barack Obama " who visited Russia in July " has vowed to “reset” U.S.-Russia relations. Beyond Iran, Lavrov said U.S. and Russia negotiators have made “considerable” progress toward reaching agreement on a new strategic arms treaty. The 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or START, expires in December and negotiators have been racing to reach agreement on a successor. The two diplomats also discussed possible cooperation on missile defense following Obama’s decision not to proceed with Bush-administration plans to base such a system in eastern Europe. Russia has welcomed Obama’s new approach, but has said it was eager for more detailed information. Clinton said the U.S. would be as transparent as possible. “We want to ensure that every question that the Russian military or Russian government asks is answered,” she said, calling missile defense “another area for deep cooperation between our countries.”

POPSGreyhound Racing Will Break Your Heart. After watching the video at the end of this clip, I cried for 30 minutes. But these critters need all the witnesses and help they can get. If you are so inclined, there's a petition at the website that you can sign to help end this vicious cycle. Gotta go, so I can look into what's involved in adopting one of these dogs. Sheesh! it's the last thing I need, another critter... Oh well!

POPSThank You Mr. President Thank you for creating a massive federal entitlement program that will push us closer day by day to national bankruptcy while you fiddle. Every large government entitlement program -- Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid -- is racing towards bankruptcy. Now, you have created a new one to sink the ship of state. A rescue party led by the Republicans will, sooner or later, look mighty handy to the voters.

POPS Terror in America What I want to know is whether this administration is willing to pull all the information possible out of these suspects. Because one thing that might happen is the remaining individuals or cells accelerate their plans and execute some attacks and kill scores of Americans. Then America will question this administration and the naive far left like they have never been questioned before.

POPSFirst Horse to Human Penis Transplant A Success! When asked about the recipient, Dr. Krebs surprised spectators by allowing the patient to say a few words in person. He was helped in by two nurses and the noticeable bulge in his pajamas caused a few murmurs amongst the crowd. "I'd like to introduce Mr. Skoob who received this wonderful gift yesterday. As you can see he's getting his strenght back and will be leaving the ward tomorrow morning." "Mr. Skoob, London Magazine here, can you say a few words to our readers about your experience?" "Why yes," Skoob cleared his throat and took the microphone, "I'd first off like to thank the wonderful staff here, and I have very few problems. My crotch sure seems loaded now!

POPSJust Like in the Movies: Car Flies Into House The only individual home in the house was asleep on the couch and was not injured. The passenger was able to walk away from the wreck as well without injury. Only the driver was physically injured with small injuries to report. It is by far the home that has suffered the worst from the ordeal. With a gaping hole torn all the way down the front of the house, the house will be sorely out of commission for some time. Images of the scene show scraps of wood surrounding the Jeep as it sits nicely in the foyer. Art still hangs on the wall along the interior clearly visible from the street. The large home is almost ripped in half by the vehicle.
