POPSMedicine - Religion Clash The argument that Jewish law doesn't recognize brain death seems particularly strange to me. Perhaps a knowledgeable Jewish scholar can come to the rescue and explain to me what law this is and from where it's derived?

POPSCrash Avoidance Robotic Car Inspired by Flight of the Bumblebee
The LRF detects obstacles up to two meters away within a 180-degree radius in front of the BR23C, calculates the distance to them, and sends a signal to an on-board microprocessor, which is instantly translated into collision avoidance. "The split second it detects an obstacle, the car robot will mimic the movements of a bee and instantly change direction by turning its wheels at right angles or greater to avoid a collision," explained Toshiyuki Andou, Manager of Nissan's Mobility Laboratory and principal engineer of the robot car project. "The biggest difference to any current system is that the avoidance maneuver is totally instinctive. If that was not so, then the car robot would not be able to react fast enough to avoid obstacles," Andou said. "It must react instinctively and instantly because this technology corresponds to the most vulnerable and inner-most layer of our Safety Shield, a layer in which a crash is currently considered unavoidable," he added.

POPSObama Brushes Off Terrorist Ties, But CNN Digs Deeper... Whoa! If CNN is now searching...and finding...things are coming out that have been deeply buried. Obama is so new to the political scene that most of his ties are recent and knowable. The man's character, his core values, and his concept of our United States are very, very important. Where an Obama Presidency and Administration would lead us could effect our very foundation and security.

POPSDepends on the meaning of "all" For Kurtz and the rest of the MSM, then, the concept of “tell-all” has little to do with the amount of actual information revealed, or its quality. The key, instead, is the amount of vitriol directed at (in this case) a president the MSM dislikes.

POPSA Test of the Copernican Principle Disproving the Copernican Principle would amount to a a Copernican revolution on its own account :-) Also, certain aspects of general relativity would need a profound review. Fortunately it seems Copernicus was right after all. Or was he?

POPSMassachusetts Bakery Distributes Wheat Berries for Customers to Grow in Their Yards the old ways are often touted as being the best, this is an idea who's time has come back around. We have made some fundamental mistakes allowing our food production to go corporate, this may be a start at reclaiming our agrarian birthright. The further a thing moves away from it's center, the more corrupt it becomes, perhaps it is time to revisit the concept of village.

POPSTry Spending Less I'm tired of hearing state and federal government officials talking about how they need to bring more tax revenue in. Instead of trying to get more money out of us that they'll just waste on useless programs anyway, why not spend less to get budgets into shape. Oh yeah, to do that, we'd likely need less government officials to manage it all, which means they may be out of jobs. I guess it's too much to ask that elected officials do what we elect them to do (represent the needs of their constituents) vs what's in their own best interests.

POPSNew study money portends hope for former Vacuum Oil brownfields “Prime land” it is, so close to the University of Rochester and city-center Rochester. Like so many stretches along the banks of the Genesee, so beautiful and hauntingly desolate, it's hard to imagine downtown could be so close. The River Trail there is one of my favorite spots to skate.
