POPSPhilippines braces for new storm Ketsana, with winds of up to 100km/h (60mph), hit the Philippines early last Saturday, crossing the main northern island of Luzon before heading out toward the South China Sea. Almost two million people were affected by the flooding in Manila, the worst to hit the city in 40 years. At one point, 80% of the city was submerged. Tens of thousands of people were left homeless. Ketsana went on to hit the mainland of South-East Asia where it is now confirmed to have killed 99 people in Vietnam, 16 in Laos and 14 in Cambodia. Most of the people have died in flooding or landslides caused by the sudden, heavy rain.

POPSHarvey Johnson: American Pedophile in Cambodia Harvey Johnson, American retiree was the subject of a sting operation by Nightline. Johnson moved to Cambodia, set himself up as a volunteer English teacher which gave him access to lots of very young students. He procured children for his own personal use as well as to sell to other pedophiles. The article is disturbing, the videos even more so. Part 1 was more than enough for me. Also featured is a 66 year old American who "fell in love" with a 14 year old that he purchased from her mother. Both "peds" are being prosecuted by various agencies. This website features several activists and their efforts to end this kind of exploitation.

Ketsana, with winds of up to 100km/h (60mph), hit the Philippines early on Saturday, crossing the main northern Luzon island before heading out toward the South China Sea.

POPSAdventure Holiday in Laos If temples are your thing then Angkor Wat and Luang Prabang will blow you away; if you are a fan of rural scenery then there isn’t much that can beat the karst peaks of Vang Vieng or the lush paddy fields and village scenes on Don Khong; and if you just want to get into the culture of the region then you’ll love the village homestay at Hinboun and watching the saffron-robed monks of Luang Prabang collect alms at dawn.

POPS"WOMEN ARE HEROES" post it LARGE "Women Are Heroes" is done by a 25 year-old artist who goes by JR. He photographs women across the world, in countries like Sudan, Sierra Leone, Cambodia and Laos, as well as Brazil. Then he prints extreme enlargements of the images, and wallpapers the sides of buildings in the neighborhoods of the women he documents… but then also posts them in a very large format in Western cities. In Brazil, thousands of killings by police are going largely unpunished because of public approval for a perceived crackdown on crime, reports the U.N. envoy, Philip Alston. Clashes with police killed a record 1,260 civilians in Rio de Janeiro state last year. JK's previous project, "Face2Face" made portraits of Palestinians and Israelis doing the same job and posted them face to face, in huge formats, in unavoidable places, on the Israeli and the Palestinian sides. "Face to face" is necessary. Within a few years, JR will come back for "Hand in hand".
