POPSChemists move closer toward developing safer, fully-synthetic form of heparin processing of pig intestines to extract the raw materials is often done in small, family-run workshops in China, which supplies about 70 percent of the world's heparin. Those mom-and-pop shops often fall outside the normal supervision and regulatory control standard in the pharmaceutical industry.

POPSRoasted Eggplant-Almond Dip
Preheat oven to 425F. Wash the eggplant and prick it all over with a fork. Place it in a pan and roast it until completely collapsed and charred-looking on top, about 45 minutes. (You can also cook it on a grill, turning regularly, until charred all over and soft.) Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Once the eggplant is cool, scoop out the flesh and put it into a medium-sized bowl. If there are lots of large seeds, separate and discard them. Mash the flesh with a fork until a coarse puree is formed. Heat a small frying pan and add the almonds and mustard seeds. Toast them for about 2 minutes or until the seeds begin to pop. Add the onion, chile, and ginger and cook on medium for a few more minutes. Transfer to a small blender, add the garlic, lemon juice, soy yogurt, and two tablespoons of water, and puree.

Russian military vehicles were blocking the eastern road into the city on Friday, although they allowed in one Georgia bus filled with loaves of bread. President Bush video statement

POPSHerbal Horse Remedies This page has an article about different herbal supplements and herbal remedies for horses. I am now particularly interested in this, as one of my best friends just gave my daughter and I an older horse. We will still be keeping it at her house for several months, just helping to pay the feed bill. Bunne is a 24 year old, absolutely SWEET, perfectly trained, quarter horse mare. Her only fault is she has some arthritis in one of her rear hooves. Therefore, I am looking into natural herbal remedies for horses. We are currently giving her Bute and MSM.

POPSBus narrowly escapes Sea to Sky rock slide "Police are searching through the rock-slide scene on the highway that connects Vancouver to Whistler with dogs to make sure no one is trapped. "There are police dogs on the site, but there is no way of knowing if there is anybody trapped there," Squamish RCMP Cpl. Dave Ritchie said. "We're monitoring for any people reported overdue," he said. "We've done coast guard and air patrols at the edge of the debris and the water. We're hopeful there isn't anybody trapped in there.""
