POPSGIANT crack in Africa will create a new ocean
"We know that seafloor ridges are created by a similar intrusion of magma into a rift, but we never knew that a huge length of the ridge could break open at once like this," said Cindy Ebinger, professor of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Rochester and co-author of the study. The result shows that highly active volcanic boundaries along the edges of tectonic ocean plates may suddenly break apart in large sections, instead of in bits, as the leading theory held. And such sudden large-scale events on land pose a much more serious hazard to populations living near the rift than would several smaller events, Ebinger said. "The whole point of this study is to learn whether what is happening in Ethiopia is like what is happening at the bottom of the ocean where it's almost impossible for us to go," says Ebinger. "We knew that if we could establish that, then Ethiopia would essentially be a unique and superb ocean-ridge laboratory for us. Because of the unprecedent

POPSMother In Law Crys Wolf/ Pet Gets Confiscated Ortiz showed pictures of Dakota to wolf expert Dave Mech. His e-mail opinion was, "Looks like a dog to me; possibly it has some wolf but hard to say." "My only hope is that the animal doesn't get destroyed ultimately," said Philipp. "Because it seems like the animal, whether it's a wolf or mixed-breed or whatever it is, seems to be, by all reports, a nice animal."

POPSFlight nightmare and Continental could care less Their customer service is non existent. Go to their web site and notice how no link what so ever to contact anybody. Just link and link to pages that only offer more menu's. How convenient. This is not isolated event. did google search on continental airlines complaints and some of the stories are outrageous. But i guess until the general public is aware of how they could care less for the customer they keep getting business. And that is all they care about. My solution is if you can't get them online then call their 800 number and voice your opinions of them. Sooner or later the CEO may get complaints from his cronies about all the calls and have to address the issue.

POPSContinental Kidnaps Flyers keeps overnight! By the time the 47 passengers were allowed off the plane early the next morning, more than 10 hours after they'd left Houston, some of them hadn't eaten for as long as 18 hours, Christin said, only to be placated with a coupon for one free beverage. They should all sue Continental - what lousy treatment of their customers. I most likely would have been arrested and removed from the plane, just to get off.

POPSDems Officials Had Interns Send Fraudulent Letters Taub said she knows of at least one other county commissioner who received a similar letter. Commissioner Sue Douglas, R-Rochester, said she believed that the Democratic county commissioners had nothing to do with it and that the incident was isolated within the party. According to Douglas, upon learning about the falsified letters, Oakland County Democratic Party Chairman Mike McGuinness issued an apology to the Republican Caucus in an e-mail on July 21 “Misleading anyone and misrepresenting any issue or position is not within the scope of the Oakland County Democratic Party’s mission or practices,” McGuinness said. “We are disappointed and shocked by this incident and extend our apologies to those impacted.”

POPSLeftover Bush Leaguers Misusing ICE Computers The eight years of the Bush Presidency have left us with quite an undesirable legacy - one that includes its attracting people who work for Homeland Security (Border Patrol) who will lie and steal to "get" at people they do not like or fear. Profiling police always seem to say, we are just doing our job and it's just a coincidence that they stop more black, brown, or other hated group than others in "doing" their job "by the book." In this case, they are using government computers to send fake messages to local newspapers.

POPSmportant update - please spread! More people joining in pressing charges on the CDC and WHO spread!
- My take IM IN ROCHESTER! SO ARE THE TRAINS! The women tonight will talk about what is going on, and how she is suing EVERYONE from Obama,Bush to the CDC and WHO!. She is a single mother trying to dent this beast, much like Jane Burgermeister. This is leading into my plan, and video I am working on now, called "Amends" my/our solution. I have about 50 people working on this with me, if not for that it would have been out by now. But lets just say, we will be able to cut the weeds out of the truth movement with this once and for all. If people dont realize the seriousness of what is going on and who is real, they shouldnt be in this to begin with because they are just wasting time... The truth movement is a waste, its accomplished nothing and has NO true leaders, and TO MANY "Awake sheep" out of the ashes of this movement a real one will come, that actually gets things done! Bills stopped, Plans ruined and agendas halted. Thats what needs to be done. I firmly believe that i

POPSRescued fighting pit bull is now a therapy dog This big sappy moosh is all weepy now. More: In order to be certified, each dog and handler team must pass a rigorous, 15-part exam. "We try to mimic what some of the encounters might be like," said Marcia Fritzmeier, a TDI evaluator who administered Hector and Yori's test. TDI's exam tests each dog's manners, obedience, ease around people and reactions to situations such as loud noises and meeting other dogs. Fritzmeier was aware of Hector's background before his test and paid special attention to his temperament, extending some of the tests to be sure Hector would be a good therapy dog. "I could not believe the degree of excellence he passed this test with," she said. "He never stopped wagging his tail. He just enjoyed every second of it."

POPSA game for life "The challenge is to learn enough about the brain changes induced by different technologies and types of games in order to be able to guide them, enhancing functions that result in a functional and behavioral advantage for each individual. If done properly, the motivating, almost addictive, nature of these technologies, may actually prove a very valuable ally to achieve desired goals in education, medical treatment, and rehabilitation." I do agree to the point that it is up to us, humans, to pour the meaning into the availability that is technology.
