POPSNew You By 2018 Therapeutic: Cloning for tissue replacement is already happening, as stem cells have successfully grown new heart tissues in patients. Researchers believe replacing muscle, bone, skin; even neurons, teeth, eyes, and other organs could be in beginning stages by 2018. Augmentation: Procedures expected to be in place by as early as 2015 include improved memory recall, simultaneous language translation, long range and microscopic vision on demand, wide spectrum hearing, distinctive voice projection, and stronger muscles. And by mid-to-late-2020s, “nanobots” monitoring each of our cells could keep us ageless and forever healthy. Designed Evolution: These could include memory, intelligence, speed, agility, and other behavioral and physical attributes. Eliminating undesired genes that might pre-dispose a child to cancer, heart disease or alcoholism could be possible by about 2015.

POPS'Supermice' who can resist cancer and age almost half as fast as normal In the latest study, published in the journal Cell, the scientists solved that problem by changing the genes of the mice first to make them resistant to the disease. The researchers found that mice which had been created in this way had better muscle in old age, healthier skin tissue and fewer digestion problems. "By simultaneously increasing the amounts of telomerase and the resistance to cancer we are able to delay ageing in mice and also to extend their life span by 40 per cent," said Maria A. Blasco, from the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), who carried out the study with colleagues from Valencia University. "These mice get to live for as long as the eldest mice in records of the same kind. "If we were to parallel it to humans, then it would mean reaching 120 years of age and also to start ageing much later in life."

POPSHas Sarah Palin Been Picked as the Titular Head of the Coming Police State?
Reports confirmed my suspicions: Palin, not McCain, is the FrankenBarbie of the Rove-Cheney cabal. The strategy became clear. Time magazine reported that Rove is "dialed in" to the McCain campaign. Rove's protege Steve Schmidt is now campaign manager. And Politico reported that Rove was heavily involved in McCain's vice presidential selection. Finally a new report shows that there are dozens of Bush and Rove operatives surrounding Sarah Palin and orchestrating her every move. What's the plan? It is this. McCain doesn't matter. Reputable dermatologists are discussing the fact that in simply actuarial terms, John McCain has a virulent and life-threatening form of skin cancer. It is the elephant in the room, but we must discuss the health of the candidates: doctors put survival rates for someone his age at two to four years. I believe the Rove-Cheney cabal is using Sarah Palin as a stalking horse, an Evita figure, to put a popular, populist face on the coming police state and be the ta

POPS"Nanobees sting cancer cells to death" more: The nanobees are made of perfluorocarbon, an inert material used in artificial blood. Dr Wickline's team has been investigating their use in various medical applications, including the diagnosis and treatment of narrowed arteries and cancer. The nanoparticles are large enough to carry thousands of active compounds, yet small enough to pass easily through the bloodstream and attach to cell membranes. Melittin injected directly into the bloodstream would cause widespread destruction of red blood cells. But attached to the nanobees, blood cells and other tissues are protected from the toxin's effects.

POPSSkin cancer risk factors: # of moles more important than sun exposure? *sigh* I thought this would be useful news for anybody else who's in the "I wouldn't need makeup to play a title role in a live-action version of 101 Dalmatians " club. (Sometimes I think it's not really that I'm pale – I probably have a normal amount of melanin, it's just all concentrated into moles. Bah.)

POPSthe art of seXercise The term 'pornographic' is a generic one and not a legal one. It comes from the Greek meaning 'harlot' and 'graphos' meaning 'writing'. a portrayal of erotic behaviour designed to cause sexual excitement'. Erotic art traces history of sex. 'Sex and joy' The curators made a point of only including works which show sex between consenting adults. There is nothing which suggests violence or sex with children. However, a classically educated viewer would know that Rembrandt's Jupiter and Antiope (1659), shows the prelude to a rape. According to legend, the god Zeus (the Romans' Jupiter) was so entranced by the beauty of Antiope, a Theban princess, that he disguised himself as a satyr and raped her. So what was the point of making the point of only including works which show sex between consenting adults.... just because a dutch master drew a sexual image. My own soundtrack to this clip would be kate perry-i kissed a girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-K1y4xoyJg xx

POPS125 Fake Cancer 'Cures' You Should Avoid I only clipped the names of the persons/corporations responsible. Watch out for these. See source for the complete list. The products contain ingredients such as bloodroot, shark cartilage, coral calcium, cesium, ellagic acid, Cat's Claw, an herbal tea called Essiac, and mushroom varieties such as Agaricus Blazeii, Shitake, Maitake, and Reishi. These products claim to cure, treat, mitigate or prevent disease, and these products have not been shown to be safe and effective for their labeled conditions of use. Examples of fraudulent claims for these products include: * "Treats all forms of cancer" * "Causes cancer cells to commit suicide!" * "80% more effective than the world's number one cancer drug" * "Skin cancers disappear" * "Target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone" * "Shrinks malignant tumors" * "Avoid painful surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or other conventional treatments"
