This is why we need quick and decisive tribunals in regards to "detainees" We are wasting our money and destroying their lives. The detainees should be brought to justice or acquitted of their charges in a timely fashion.

POPSThree Servicemen sculpture in Apalachicola honors Vietnam Vets "And beyond that, he wanted the sculpture to be a heartfelt and simple thank you from the citizens of this nation to the service and sacrifice of the veterans and their families." She quoted from her husband's last public speech in May 1999, a few months before his death. "By the expressions on the faces of the intensity of the strain and the anguish that was part of the Vietnam veterans experience on the battlefield and at homecoming, and by their endurance and youthful dedication to duty, they reveal themselves as true heroes," she said. She told of how the sculptor had learned from his talks with Vietnam vets that "all treasured their deep bonds of loyalty, comradeship and interdependence," or as one veteran put it, "At first we thought we were fighting for our country but soon we came to realize we were fighting for each other."

POPSTake Two Prozac And Call Me In The Morning "So here is what e-mail with my patients has taught me: if you need to reschedule an appointment or need a routine medication refill, please push “send”; if you have something on your mind you want to talk about, please call me — the old-fashioned way. I’m almost wistful for the sound of a ringing phone." *LOL* I luv articles like this one. It reminds me of my husbands cousin who always had to take the "short cut".

POPSFlatfish caught evolving, thanks to its roving eye Now Friedman reports finding two different missing links. They are fossil fish with their eyes in different places on the two sides of their skulls - one in the normal position and one closer to the midline (see Diagram). One is Amphistium, a previously described genus found in several fossil deposits in Europe, in which the asymmetry went unnoticed because in fish fossils only one side of the animal is generally preserve. The other is Heteronectes, a new genus. At 10 to 20 centimetres long, the specimens were clearly adults and not larvae in which the eyes were migrating

POPSCommon Wealth: Sustainable future We are in one another's faces as never before, crowded into an interconnected society of global trade, migration, ideas and, yes, risk of pandemic diseases, terrorism, refugee movements and conflict. We also face a momentous choice. Continue on our current course, and the world is likely to experience growing conflicts between haves and have-nots, intensifying environmental catastrophes and downturns in living standards caused by interlocking crises of energy, water, food and violent conflict. Yet for a small annual investment of world income, undertaken cooperatively across the world, our generation can harness new technologies for clean energy, reliable food supplies, disease control and the end of extreme poverty.

POPS10 reasons to avoid nuclear energy This issue is also related to water shortage and drought-read the article on this relationship. Already, wind energy can produce electricity for less than five cents per kWh, and concentrated solar power can produce energy for 11-12 cents per kWh—even at night—and these costs are decreasing. Alternatives do not produce nuclear waste, and they do not face the same extensive safety, regulatory, and construction costs and delays that nuclear does.

POPSAnd what values do some of them teach? Let's hear it straight from the mouth of babes: My second year high school daughter told me how their practice teacher asked them after a Math quiz who among them copied the answers from somebody else's paper and who among them allowed others to copy their answers. Quite a number raised their hands. The prcctice teacher took their papers and tore them into pieces. A Values teacher learned that two of her students are not in good terms. She asked them to make up and be friends, OR ELSE, "I will make your grades suffer." In high school, I also remember, on mondays we would have a quiz in religion class, usually 10 numbers. For the 10th number we would be asked, "Did u go to mass?" If answered "No" u get a crossed mark and if u answered "Yes" you get a check mark. Tell me what you think.

POPSHomeless Veterans Bill Faces Veto Threat Davis-Bacon is a 1931 law that governs pay for public works projects. It requires that employers pay the local prevailing wage -- i.e., what everyone else in the area pays for workers. As hardships for employers go, this isn't one. Bush, in a move so cartoonishly evil that you expect a couple of kids from a Disney movie to show him up in the end, opposes housing for homeless vets for purely ideological reasons. FDR must never, ever be encouraged or he'll just pass more of these laws, I guess -- seriously, trying to figure out what goes on in these guys' heads is a losing proposition. None of it ever makes any damned sense at all.
