POPSWhose Fault Is It? But the show is rated for "Mature Audiences Only." Shows with such ratings may have content "unsuitable for children under 17. The annual kick-a-ginger event has brought angry criticism from people who feel the show's producers should have known better. A judge in Calgary, Canada, where 13 high school students swarmed a red-haired boy in a locker room, called the show "a vulgar, socially irreverent program that contributes nothing to society. When you show hateful adversarial behavior or even concepts, the effect may be most pronounced with those who have the least resilience against it."

POPSAmerica’s #1 Export This satisfies White House strategists, who seek a way out of a growing political impasse, and also the economic gurus at Obama’s ear, who believe government spending can create new jobs and kick-start the economy. These economic geniuses are the latter-day followers of John Maynard Keynes, an economist who believed we could end unemployment and fight our way out of economic malaise by having the government hire workers to dig ditches and then fill them back up again. They didn’t necessarily have to produce anything of value, as long as they went through the motions. All government has to do is "prime the pump," and this will set in motion a process ending in full employment. You can build hospitals or pyramids, it doesn’t matter; military spending will do. In this scenario, we are back to when James Baker was asked to justify the first Gulf war, and he replied, "Jobs, jobs, jobs." What better (economic) stimulus than a foreign policy of perpetual war?

POPSThree primary school pupils arrested after 'copycat sex attack on boys' It comes just weeks after two brothers aged ten and 11 from Edlington near Doncaster, South Yorkshire were convicted of the worst child on child attack since the murder of Jamie Bulger. Despite their young age, they already had a fearsome reputation in their community when they battered their young victims aged nine and 11 with bricks until the point where one pleaded to be left to die. Thankfully both survived the nightmare in April. As in this latest attack which is said to have taken place in Hengrove Park, the perpetrators allegedly forced the boys to abuse each other. Yesterday, the devastated father of one of the ten year-olds said he believed it was a copycat crime.

POPSCheetah-dog partnership at the San Diego Zoo More: Finally, when they died of old age, we decided to continue this dog and cheetah tradition. Chobe and Jessie were the second generation; Karroo and Sven are one of three current cheetah/dog pairs. We even have a wolf/dog pair: Akela and Nala! Where you can find them Karroo, a female cheetah, and Sven, her canine counterpart, appear regularly in shows and at the Wild Animal Park's Cheetah Run Safari. Their trainers talk about endangered species, our breeding success with cheetahs at the Wild Animal Park, and the importance of conservation and recycling. Also, look for a plaque commemorating Anna and Arusha, our first dog and cheetah pair, at the entrance of their first home, the Wegeforth Bowl, which hosts our sea lion shows.

Two giant telescopes and several multimillion-dollar university programs are housed in the century-old Mount Wilson Observatory. The complex of buildings is both a historic landmark and a thriving modern center for astronomy.
