POPSNew kind of Art ? Crochet and Knit Graffiti Magda Sayeg, founder of the original knit graffiti crew Knitta Please, works to redefine a craft that has been relegated to the stuffy attic of people's brains and dismissed by a limited vision for knitting's purpose, its function, its practitioners. Sayeg's work repositions this granny pastime in public spaces, streets formerly dominated by a hard, masculine public art culture. The fuzzy tags invoke entirely different connotations, antagonizing expectations and initiating dialogue about community-driven art and intersections between art and craft.

POPSParanormal Taxivity READ THE BILL Americans are fed up with Congress, and one of the things they’re most fed up with is the practice of rushing massive bills to a vote without reading them or giving the American people time to read them. H.Res.554, authored by Reps. John Culberson (R-TX) and Brian Baird (D-WA), would require all bills to be posted online for at least 72 hours before they are brought to a vote on the House floor.

POPS All-Aboard America: ObamaCare's Big Balloon Ride Hullabaloo: “We were working on an experimental craft. I call it the 3D-LAV, a low altitude-vehicle for people to pull out of their garages and hover over traffic for about 50 to 100 feet. It’s in the very early stages of the invention. But this little guy decided to kept going inside the utility compartment underneath. So anyway, this little guy got inside of it. I thought he did, anyway … “ OK, that’s not exactly how Digby put it. (With a nod to Fausta, who suggested in an email that Obama may want to pump some helium into his own ratings. She notes the Weather Channel is the only one he doesn’t dominate . Maybe, but it looks like some of the gas is coming out.)

POPS*****~~~~~ O-PhRMA ~~~~~***** The ever-snide Robert Gibbs, responding to inquiry: "That's ridiculous. David has left his firm to join public service. "An agreement I think that was made because David started and owned the firm. He left the firm and, if I'm not mistaken, is being paid for the fact that he created it and sold it, which I think is somewhat based on the free market."

POPS'Interplanetary internet' passes first test The new protocol is somewhat different from the one that forms the backbone of the internet, called TCP/IP. On Earth, if some data is lost between a sender and a recipient, the two communicate back and forth until all the information is sent. That 'handshake' works well on Earth, where the network is almost always continuously connected, says Adrian Hooke, team leader at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC. But in space, probes pass behind planets and out of range, power outages are common, and distances between planets vary as the planets move in their orbits. In addition, at distances not far beyond the Moon, the time required to beam data between a sender and a recipient makes back-and-forth communication between the two inefficient, says Hooke.

POPSJoe the Plumber and the Vicious Liberal Media You liberals laugh at Joe the Plumber and the other small businesses, while Michelle dines on lobster and caviar? You are pushing us to what Soviet Russia had in the way of craft. Painting a wall from bottom to top. Bathroom resembling a plumber's nightmare.

POPSNew hyperspace engine could roundtrip Mars in 5 hours The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics awards prizes for the best papers presented each year. Last year’s winner went to a paper authored by physicist Jochem Hauser, calling for experimental tests of Heim’s theory. “This hyperdrive motor,” Hauser said, “would propel a craft through another dimension at enormous speeds. It could reach a star eleven light years away in just eighty days.”

POPSIonised air to power flying saucers They're still testing, and when they discovered the principle, they thought it was anti gravity, but it turned out to be dependent on the earth's magnetic field. Sounds like a far more efficient way of flying than aircraft fuel. They might take a while to learn how to steer it. I wonder how many passengers they'll hold. Spinning around sounds bad for airsickness, and in flight meals.
