POPSSchoolgirl, 15, watches in horror as hoodie stamps on her tiny puppy's head and kills it She said: 'I'm devastated. It was such a shock - Sandy was a lovely puppy. Enlarge Sandy the puppy who was killed by a group of yobs 'She wandered over to three boys wagging her tail and one of them just put his foot out and trampled on her head. 'She was very well behaved and one of those things you can't replace. I am very angry.' Her mother, Loretta, 45, heard April screaming and crying after the incident and found her sitting on the kerb sobbing. She said: 'It is unbelievable. How could someone do something like that?' Grandmother Norma Peachey, 72, from Cherry Hinton, Cambridge, added: 'It is despicable. Sandy was such a little dear - so tiny she could have fitted in a coffee cup.'

POPS Afghan War Units Begin Two New Efforts The moves underline the military's efforts to remake itself in response to the Afghan war despite the Obama administration's signals that it is far from committed to the current counterinsurgency approach. President Barack Obama met with Defense Secretary Robert Gates Monday as part of the ongoing White House review of Afghanistan policy, which is being re-evaluated in light of the country's flawed presidential elections and the Taliban's recent gains. A senior military official acknowledged that the Afghan Hands initiative, the most important of the new efforts, could be modified or scaled back if the White House decides on a new strategy. "None of this is inflexible or set in stone," the official said. The strategic review comes amid worsening violence across Afghanistan. At least 16 U.S. troops have already been killed in October, matching the entire American death toll for October 2008. Mr. Gates, speaking to an Army gathering on Monday . . .

POPSCitadels of Dead Capital Such "extralegality" is often perceived as a "marginal" issue. In fact, it is legality that is marginal; extralegality has become the norm. When international agencies jet their consultants to the gleaming glass towers of the elegant quadrants of town to meet with the local "private sector," they’re talking to only a fraction of the entrepreneurial world. The emerging economic powers of the developing world are the garbage collectors, the appliance manufacturers, and the illegal construction companies in the streets far below.

POPSKeith Olbermanic Foaming at the Mouth Just doesn't get any more true than this: "Beck has done something with his audience. He’s turned them into engaged ( and informed, may I add ) activists, while Olbermann is dumbing down his audience and treating the rest of America like Janet Leigh in the shower." I have no hope for anyone who watches Olbermann. Truly the idiots among us.

POPSHurricane Jimena bearing down on Baja California "There's no watches or warnings in effect, but we would like residents and tourists in the area to monitor the progress of the storm," Berg said. "We do expect it to maintain its major hurricane strength as it heads up into that area." Tropical Storm Kevin has also emerged in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. However, Berg says it is weak -- with winds at 50 mph -- and is not expected to pose a serious threat.

POPSOutside: reflections on a neighborhood Written by an Iraq veteran I know who's having what sounds like a fairly typical rough adjustment to being back (and a typical struggle to get necessary care for service-related injuries from the VA). Long, but well worth reading. More: There's nothing so comfortable as a prejudice confirmed, even if it takes machinations and deprivation to bring that about. Another one is pain. T's uncle was hurt in an industrial accident that broke his hip, pelvis, both legs, and some vertebrae. The bones never set right, or were not set right, perhaps, by an indifferent physician, who looked at his record or heard from R himself about busts and brawls and concluded that the man would merely injure himself again, as 'they' always do. It's hard to conceive of a future when you do have a past. So R gets a vast amount of Vicodan per month, only some of which he uses, because his preferred anesthetic is liquid. When someone is creative, we view that as a tragedy.…

POPSWhat is a Man? A man has had liquor enough in his life that he can order a drink without sounding breathless, clueless, or obtuse. When he doesn't want to think, he orders bourbon or something on tap. A man welcomes the coming of age. It frees him. It allows him to assume the upper hand and teaches him when to step aside. He does not rely on rationalizations or explanations. A man gets the door. Without thinking. He stops traffic when he must. A man knows how to lose an afternoon. Drinking, playing Grand Theft Auto, driving aimlessly, shooting pool. He knows how to lose a month, also. He understands the basic mechanics of the planet. Or he can close one eye, look up at the sun, and tell you what time of day it is. Or where north is. He can tell you where you might find something to eat or where the fish run. He understands electricity or the internal-combustion engine, the mechanics of flight. A man is comfortable being alone. Loves being alone, actually. He sleeps.

POPSWarning: Graphic. Hiroshima, the pics they didn't want us to see.
The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed about 250.000 people and became the most dreadful slaughter of civilians in modern history. However, for many years there was a curious gap in the photographic records. Although the names of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were incised into our memories, there were few pictures to accompany them. Even today, the image in our minds is a mixture of devastated landscapes and shattered buildings. Shocking images of the ruins, but where were the victims? The American occupation forces imposed strict censorship on Japan, prohibiting anything "that might, directly or by inference, disturb public tranquility" and used it to prohibit all pictures of the bombed cities.The pictures remained classified 'top secret' for many years. Some of the images have been published later by different means, but it's not usual to see them all together. This is the horror they didn't want us to see, and that we must NEVER forget:

POPSA Fight For The Amazon That Should Inspire The World
Of course, fossil fools will argue that the only alternative to burning up our remaining oil and gas supplies is for us all to live like the indigenous peoples in the Amazon. But next door to Peru, you can see a very different, environmentally sane model to lift up the poor emerging – if only we will grasp it. Ecuador is a poor country with large oil resources underneath its rainforests – but its president, Rafael Correa, is offering us the opposite of Garcia's plan. He has announced that he is willing to leave his country's largest oil reserve under the soil, if the rest of the world will match the $9.2bn in revenues it would provide. If we don't start reaching for these alternatives, we will render this month's victory in the Amazon meaningless. The Hadley Centre in Exeter, one of the most sophisticated scientific centres for studying the impacts of global warming, has warned that if we carry on belching out greenhouse gases at the current rate, the humid Amazon will dry up an
