POPSRussian Journalist Watchs Russian Forces Move Toward Tbilisi
pointing in the direction of Tbilisi. “Everyone went that way, both recognizance and the infantry. Now the equipment is tagging along behind.” The soldiers do not know why the army is moving forward after the signing of the ceasefire. They do not even know about the ceasefire. They find it unexpectedly upsetting when I tell them. “Medvedev betrayed us. There, in Ossetia, they mowed down 2000 of our guys, and he made peace. This is a political war,” a soldier said. That was all there was to say about politics. “So did we win a lot of gold at the Olympics?” “Some gold,” I answer. “But no one is talking about the Olympics now. You are in all the news.” The soldiers look around and laugh. When we try to catch up to the column of equipment, we find that it has already been spread out through the fields and hills along both sides of the road around Igoeti, about 36 km. from Tbilisi. Near the village, we are stopped by a soldier in full uniform.

POPSSeven Common Dreams and What They Mean Missing an important event because you are late. This can indicate regret over a missed opportunity, inability to make a connection, or desire to pull oneself together. In Dream Power: How to Use Your Night Dreams to Change Your Life, Cynthia Richmond suggests asking questions of dreams in order to understand what this common symbol means to you. For example: What are you missing? Who is disappointed by the missed event? Is it only you or are there others involved?

POPSThe Miming of the Olympics Perhaps nothing you see in beijing now is not phony, and it's hardly surprising given the communist history of the country... in fact, isn't the present infrastructure of China, in most aspects, simply nothing but a big lousy joke? it's only a bit dissapointing that Chen Qigang was behind this, the multi-award winning composer who studied in Paris conservatoire and with the great Olivier Messiaen, isn't he supposed to be the good guy among the other dumbass communists?

POPSAre Meerkats Naturally Altruistic?
For centuries, there's been a debate over whether true altruism exists among humans. Helping others at our detriment is risky behavior, evolutionarily speaking. Say you're overcome with an urge to give your last piece of bread to someone else. The other person eats, but you don't. Ultimately, after enough of these selfless acts, you'll starve and die, and your dangerous habit of helping others should die along with you. In the animal kingdom, altruism poses an equally prickly problem to explain. Why some animals exhibit generosity is a real mystery to biologists. It's not like they're thinking about the tax write-off they can get by donating money. Meerkats have one of the most cooperative societies in the animal kingdom. These African desert dwellers are perfect subjects for an investigation into altruism. For one, they live in a harsh habitat, quite a long way from easy street. Danger lurks around every corner because they sit at the bottom of the food chain.

POPSU.S. Army Private LaVena Lynn Johnson, RIP In reality, LaVena Johnson was raped, beaten, and murdered by someone on a military base in Balad, Iraq, and the Army doesn’t want you to know about it. Army officers most especially didn’t want her parents to know about it, so they concocted the suicide story, informing them that their daughter had shot herself in the head in her barracks. When LaVena’s body was returned to her parents, however, her father, Dr. John Johnson, immediately noticed that her nose was broken and her lip was torn. He was surprised to discover that her gloves were glued to her hands (as it turns out, to hide burns). As a former military man himself, he also recognized that the exit wound from the bullet could not possibly have come from the weapon the military claimed LaVena used to kill herself. He knew then that the Army was lying to him, that his daughter had been murdered. He made these discoveries three years ago. Today, the Army is still lying to him, and to us.

POPSIt's Too Hot For Them Dawgs "One might observe that when it comes to important issues like human rights in Tibet, Chinese leaders don’t seem to care what the rest of the world thinks, yet when it comes to dietary niceties, they kowtow to the most irrational foreign prejudice."

POPST-Rex no match for 'Big Tooth' Carcharodon megalodon, or 'Big Tooth', an ancestor of today's Great White Shark, may have grown to 16 metres and weighed 100 tonnes, generating between 10.8 to 18.2 tonnes of bite force.- between 3 and 6 times that of the T-Rex. Still the T-Rex probably got better traction, and kept clear of sharks. The largest modern Great Whites have about 1.8 tonnes, An African Lion 560 kg, and we can manage about 80kg (Great for biting apples, or cracking walnuts or teeth) We have still managed to become the world's most efficient predator artificially. We can wipe something out just because we don't like the way it looks at us.
