POPSSchoolboy Jai Morcom beaten to death during recess "Jai was just a gentle little guy. He wasn't a fighter.'' Jai's older brother, Mayo, flew home on Friday night from the NSW ski-fields where he works, to join his devastated parents and sisters, Kyra, 26, and Jade, 22. A Year 9 student said the fight was between two school gangs. The student said: "One of the gangs stole a seat from our eating area. We stole it back and it turned into an all-out brawl (and) the teachers did nothing''. The student alleged Jai had been beaten to a pulp and ``it was really scary and intense. It was completely out of control''. A school nurse gave first aid until paramedics arrived, but witnesses said Jai was frothing at the mouth and non-responsive. Forensic detectives, NSW and Queensland police have been called in to investigate and are preparing a brief for the coroner.

POPSPremature baby 'left to die' by doctors after birth at 21 wk 'When he was born, he put out his arms and legs and pushed himself over,' said Miss Capewell. 'A midwife said he was breathing and had a strong heartbeat and described him as a "little fighter". 'I kept asking for the doctors but the midwife said, "They won't come and help, sweetie. Make the best of the time you have with him."' Miss Capewell said she had to argue her right to receive birth and death certificates which meant she could have a proper funeral. The medical guidance for NHS hospitals, limiting care of the most premature babies, was drawn up by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics in 2006. The guidelines are clear: no baby below 22 weeks gestation should be resuscitated.

POPSWhat to expect if you ever call a pioneer of space exploration a coward Buzz Aldrin KO's a "we-never-went-to-the-moon" conspiracy wacko The moon doesn’t make people crazy. However, it sure does help point to crazy people. Take Whoopi Goldberg. Please. Take her far, far away. The former Captain Planet and the Planeteers star has questioned the moon landings. Really. Personally, I’d like to see Buzz Aldrin take a shot at her. Like he did this idiot:

POPSThe Worst Nicknames In MMA These are funny....dudes need better PR reps.... Imes is an interesting dude. He played pro football in the Arena League and was a combatant on the 2nd season of “The Ultimate Fighter”. But his agent or whoever came up with the nickname must have thought he was trying out for the country-music version of American Idol or WWE-type wrestling. Seriously–The Hillbilly Heartthrob? Who does he think he is? Billy Ray Cyrus? Wouldn't surprise me if there are fans that want him to lose solely because of his nickname.
