POPSObama’s Communist Mentor In his books, Obama admits attending "socialist conferences" and coming into contact with Marxist literature. But he ridicules the charge of being a "hard-core academic Marxist," which was made by his colorful and outspoken 2004 U.S. Senate opponent, Republican Alan Keyes.

POPSHaitian Parents Tell Why They Entrusted their Children to the Detained American Baptist Missionaries
They said that the missionaries had promised they would be able to visit their children in the Dominican Republic, and that the children would be free to come home for visits. “If someone offers to take my children to a paradise,” Mrs. Antoine said of Carl and her daughter Jenisa, “am I supposed to say no?” Several parents denied accusations that they had been given money for their children, or that they wanted their children to be put up for adoption. They trusted the Americans, they said, because they arrived with the recommendation of a Baptist minister, Philippe Murphy, who runs an orphanage in the area. A woman who answered the door at Mr. Murphy’s house said he had gone to Miami. But she also said that he did not know anything about the Americans. “I just wanted him to have more than I have,” Ms. Valmont said of her 6-year-old son, Darwin. “What future can I give him here?” - more @ clip source

POPS Lost leviathans: Hunting the world's missing whales fascinating article.... A large number of whales escaped the hunters to die later from harpoon injuries. WHEN settlers arrived in the New World in the 17th century, they found waters so thick with whales it was said you could walk across the bay of Cape Cod on their backs. Such stories have been dismissed as fantasy. Nevertheless, it appears that the whale population was once vastly bigger than we thought, and that our slaughter of them was more thorough than history records (see "Ghosts of whales past"). This matters because commercial whaling may be allowed to resume once populations reach 54 per cent of their "historic" levels. This is generally assumed to be the population of the mid-19th century, before the explosive harpoon was invented. But if this historic benchmark is too low, the whaling moratorium must continue. Ironically, the vast slaughter of whales past may yet help to secure their future.

POPSBritish newspapers make things up More: I hope American and British readers (and readers throughout the world) will finally wake up to the reality of British journalism: You just cannot believe what you read in British newspapers. I’d further call on my academic colleagues on both sides of the Atlantic never to speak to British reporters. You have absolutely no control over what they say about you and your scientific research. Unfortunately, however, this does not always work. A reporter from the Sunday Times has recently requested an interview with me about one of my papers. Having already learned my lesson in 2006, I completely ignored his email and telephone messages. As a result, no interview took place. But that did not stop him at all. He went ahead and wrote his article, pretending that he had interviewed me and quoting me at length.

POPSImprove & Diagnose Internet Connection Google, New America Foundation’s Open Technology Institute, the PlanetLab Consortium, and academic researchers, have collaboratively launched a new site that lets average users diagnose and improve their Internet connection. The open-source project has already developed three tools to test connection speed, diagnose common problems that limit it, and test whether an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is blocking or throttling access to BitTorrent.
