POPSThe US Has 761 Military Bases Across the Planet and We Simply Never Talk About It. Where the Sun Never Sets Let's face it, we're on an imperial bender and it's been a long, long night. Even now, in the wee hours, the Pentagon continues its massive expansion of recent years; we spend militarily as if there were no tomorrow; we're still building bases as if the world were our oyster; and we're still in denial. Someone should phone the imperial equivalent of Alcoholics Anonymous.

POPSFROM CHILL PILL TO GYM PILL ? The best way to exercise is watch the freaking mouse do it ! See, the study on frogs show that they become deaf after cutting their legs off and you shout jump repeatedly, as it does in men when the blood is cut off from the little head ! What?

POPSECOCITY Builders An ecocity is a human settlement that enables its residents to live a good quality of life while using minimal natural resources. Its buildings make best use of sun, wind and rainfall to help supply the energy and water needs of occupants. Generally multistory to maximize the land available for greenspace. It is threaded with natural habitat corridors, to foster biodiversity and to give residents access to nature for recreation. Its food and other goods are sourced from within its borders or from nearby, in order to cut down on transport costs. The majority of its residents live within walking or cycling distance of their workplace, to minimise the need for motorised transport. Frequent public transport connects local centres for people who need to travel further. Local car sharing allows people to use a car only when needed.

POPSWeird natural detonations Reading about the exploding ants and frogs was interesting too...but this about calm lakes..."limnic eruption. To get one you need a few basic elements: - one, a very deep volcanic lake; - two, said lake has to be over a slow source of volcanic gas; - and three, it has to be very, very still." Eerie!

POPSYOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK The wisdom of this story: * Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic. They take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in your heart! * Always think of the power words have. Everything you hear and read will affect your actions! * BE POSITIVE! And above all, be DEAF when people tell you that you cannot fulfill your dreams! Always think: I can do this!

POPSWildlife in Florida Everglades - pics The Everglades, a vast chain of marshes that is home to manatees, Florida panthers, great egrets and other threatened species, was declared a protected area in 1934 The health of the park dubbed the River of Grass has suffered greatly in recent years, hurt by polluted runoff generated by sugar farms that lie in the centre of the ecosystem. The land sale, unveiled by Florida governor Charlie Crist, jump-starts one of the biggest environmental rebuilding projects in modern US history. Crist said the pact was "as monumental as our nation's first national park," adding that he hopes to sign a final pact by September.
