POPSRestorer finds hidden pig in 1600's Dutch work "It's this grotesque scene, this butchered animal hanging in a barn. And quite likely this patron hired another artist to paint it over." Zwart said the restored work "looks a lot different than before, and it looks better. The restoration work also revealed information about the painting's history. It turns out that the work is a "pendant," one of a pair of paintings on a shared theme. Barn Interior's companion painting hangs in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Art history professor Henry Luttikhuizen said he is pleased the discoveries about the painting are drawing attention to Van Nuis, who died last year. "Kees would have really enjoyed seeing the painting restored. I can readily imagine him chuckling with delight at the conservator's findings," Luttikhuizen said.

POPSNow-Needy FDIC Collected Little In Premiums For A Decade up from the current $30 billion limit - in case the number of bank failures increases even more dramatically. If Congress approves the measure, to borrow more than $100 billion, the FDIC would still need permission from the Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department, and the White House. As of Dec. 31, the FDIC had $18.9 billion in its insurance fund - down from $52.4 billion a year earlier - in addition to $22 billion that it has set aside for pending bank failures. The agency has projected it will need $65 billion to take over failed banks through 2013. But if the FDIC suddenly had to take over a giant bank such as Citigroup or Bank of America, the fund would be drained "in a flash," said Cornelius Hurley, director of the Boston University law school's Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law.

POPSIcahn Responds To Cornelius What's amazing about ImClone's press release is the way it encourages looking at the personalities of the two dealmakers-- ImClone chairman Carl Icahn and Bristol chief Jim Cornelius -- over and above the two companies that are actually involved in the merger deal.

POPSPierce: Irish Cannibal in Australia
"Soon he found different food, he found animals: a flock of sheep. He survived for some time stealing sheep and eating some of them, but then he was caught by the police. He confessed that he had stolen 250 sheep and he was sent back to prison. But on 16th november 1823 he escaped again, this time with a man called Thomas Cox. When the police captured him again, he was wearing Cox's clothes. He confessed that he had killed and eaten Cox, and he also confessed that he had eaten the other fugitives and carried parts of the bodies to eat them when he was hungry. "As we could expect, Pierce was sentenced to death on July 6th, 1824. He was hanged and somebody took his head because he thought that future generations should know about this terrible story. That head can be seen nowadays in a museum in the city of Philadelphia, United States. It's the head of a young Irish man who was sent to Australia for stealing six pairs of shoes and there he tasted human flesh ... and he enjoyed his exp
