POPSWhere has your turkey been? Free-roaming or in a factory? We bought an organic turkey this year. This is despite the tightening of the belt due to the recession. I know I will feel better eating it knowing how it was raised. How do you feel about this? Does it really matter? Tweet us a reply or comment below...

POPSOrganic Waste Ethanol Cellulosic ethanol is an exciting technology which promises to convert the abundant sources of organic waste worldwide (kitchen waste, yard waste, paper industry waste, etc.) into green alternative fuel. Unlike traditional ethanol, it won't use food crops or raise food prices. In addition, environmental impact studies have indicated that while traditional ethanol releases more greenhouse gases than burning fossil fuels, cellulosic ethanol could reduce emissions

POPSCalifornia Show Horses Poisoned with Oleander
In addition to this story by the Associated Press, nbcsandiego.com is reporting the ranch owner is offering a $10,000 reward for information that solves this case. That article stated to send any information to rsfsickhorses@gmail.com. Poisoned Horses Update; One Still Critical Debbie Tomin, co-owner with her husband, Bill, of Rockridge Farm in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., told TheHorse.com late Sunday morning that "23 horses were fed the poisonous concoction (of apples, carrots, and oleander leaves). "All the ones in the barn and three outside (were fed the dangerous mixture)," she said of the Saddlebreds at their farm. "We brought two home from the hospital yesterday (that had been poisoned), but one is still in critical condition. "All the horses will have a blood test on Monday to see if their heart muscles have been affected," she said. "Once cleared, they can go back to work. "We have no suspects, no disgruntled employees or clients," Tomin said.

POPSU.S. House narrowly approves War Funding A rather amazing close vote! -- The vote by the House to approve the use of force against Iraq, in 2002, was more than two to one. It seems the bill also contained giving billions in credit to the IMF...do other countries mix up their legislation like this? Wouldn't it make more sense...wouldn't it actually be SANITY to vote on the content of one issue at a time? Especially when it's an issue of war? Of course, the IMF is probably some economic war profiteering and economic exploitation agency....so maybe they go together quite well. I mean...it's not like the IMF sponsored programs to feed the hungry or heal the sick, no?

POPSZ news - What the SABC didn't want you to see Mail & Gaurdian puts up SABC unedited special assignment clip on internet but then gets sued. http://www.zapiro.com/scripts/Zapiro/hfclient.isa?A=Zapiro_Live&L=0O1242483095&AS=FIND|MP|99.00.01&F=2 Z-News seeks new online platform The producers of Z News, a news satire co-developed by award winning South African cartoonist Zapiro, is seeking alternative distribution channels after the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) pulled the plug on the show before the pilot even aired. The SABC reportedly spent close to R1 million on development before the show got canned. The producers are currently in discussions with numerous major online publishers to offer them a daily feed of the show, with revenue being generated through a mix of syndication fees, sponsorship/ advertising and mobile downloads. "It�s a new model for South Africa, but potentially a great way to bypass TV and provide uniquely local, healthy and much needed satire."

POPSBotulism "Fun Facts" in time for the holidays "Those bacteria also prefer alkaline environments, so the most common canned-food culprits are low-acid foods such as asparagus, lima beans, green beans, corn, meats, fish, and poultry. How toxic is it? A little over a pound of botulin is enough to kill every human on Earth."

POPSFarm smells can cause real stink They have qualified the amount gases from farm animals can irritate the human respiratory system. It is curious that they have decided to qualify farm animals now, when humans have been farming for thousands of years. Still many humans live in a bubble known as civilization, where all farm produce is processed and packaged, so the closest they get to a farm is the organic grocery section of the supermarket. With all of the artificial noxious chemicals introduced into the environment over the past few hundred years, I'd say farm animals are the least of our worries. particularly when many animals these days are born into and never leave a processing plant unless they're pre-packaged.

POPSBig Bucks 101: Sell Diet Shakes to the Poor
More: Varela and Graciela Mier de Varela, are the No. 1 Herbalife distributors on the planet, with network sales topping $100 million. Their powder-pushing prowess helped make Mexico Herbalife's top market with $373.2 million in sales, besting the U.S. tally of $338.3 million. Like many Herbalife distributors, they ran out of friends and family to pitch to. Sales flattened. Strangers didn't like cold calls or the hard sell. Many couldn't afford to purchase an entire canister. Company guidelines forbid distributors from breaking up packages. To inaugurate a sales office in 2002, they hosted morning nutrition "chats" where people could sample the products on their way to work. As weeks passed, the same faces started appearing. Strangers became friends. People proved willing to pay a small fee for a single serving so they could hang around to talk. "Mexicans are very convivial," said 61-year-old Graciela, who has a degree in psychology. "People loved the social aspect."

POPSDiigo's WebSlides is live: embed a feed as an in-page Flash slideshow Not 100% functional yet (you have to supply a feed rather than a list of sites, which is supposedly coming), but it seems very cool and potentially very useful. Give it a feed URL and it will generate a clickable, interactive, live slideshow of all the pages in the feed, which can be annotated by anyone (not just Diigo members) with no downloads.

POPSPapal condemnation of Capitalism and Marxism.
This is an interesting mix, and very revealing about the current political environment, and how it has changed since the 1980s. A condemnation of capitalism, which has at times been enshrined within some Christian ideologies, seems a commentary on the miss-deeds that have been done lately by corporate elites in the name of capitalism. But while his theology is sound, he does not go as far as he could. Catholic theology could be interpreted to condone charity as well. While he provides a provocative indictment of materialism, and Marxism certainly deserves to come under close scrutiny, he ignores the underlying inequities in society that make Marxist ideology so appealing to many. This could be interpreted as saying "Let them eat Faith." He condemns Liberation Theology, but he gives no answer to it. In the end, I feel his struggle is that he is a very philosophical and scholastic Pope, in a world that increasingly demands secular leadership from religious figures.
