POPSAustrailian Rock Art - New Find This indigenous version of a history book rivals anything similar in the world and holds the key to Australia's ancient and modern history, according to scientists who have just returned from an expedition to the Djulirri rock shelter in the Wellington Range. The Griffith University archaeologist Professor Paul Tacon, one of five scientists who travelled to Djulirri, said it was of international significance, unprecedented in artistic and technical merit and telling a new story of contact between Aboriginal people and the world. Contrary to the popular view that indigenous Australians were isolated on their island continent, waves of other seafaring visitors arrived long before British settlement. For hundreds of years there may have been an export economy in northern Australia driven by the Chinese appetite for trepang, or sea cucumber.

POPSOn the terror war quagmire-a Pakistani view Terrorism is the sword of extremism, whether it is religious, ethnic or regional. Islamic fundamentalism in its present form was nurtured by the absence of democratic rule in the Muslim world; the short-sighted and exploitative terms of engagement employed by the western powers to deal with Muslim majority countries, which included support to dictatorships, monarchies and oppressive rules; economic injustice meted out to the majority of the population in collaboration with comprador local elite and western corporations; and finally the issue of Palestine and the sentiment it broods across the Muslim world.

POPSMurder of another Englishman In the tiny mill town, disputed for centuries between Lancashire and Yorkshire, the most heinous of crimes took place to the rancorous silence of the British Press. A gang of immigrants stalked an indigenous man, killed him and had their crime compounded by a judiciary that has lost any vestige of English Justice. This small town, where I was measure for and purchased my first ever Best Suit, has witnessed the most appalling travesty of justice for many years. What will be done? Nothing. This crime of hatred can only be a hate crime if it is perpetrated by the indigenous person against an immigrant, or so it now seems. These cold blooded killers should be joining the ranks of the martyrs and dispatched to their Heaven at the quickest possible moment, before they get more brazened and strap on body bombs and slaughter more people.

POPSBolivian President Morales backed by neighbors Last week Bolivia accused the US of supporting the opposition and expelled its ambassador. Venezuela followed suit to show solidarity and Honduras has refused to accept the credentials of a new US envoy. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said the unrest in Bolivia was "a conspiracy directed by the US empire", likening it to the 1973 CIA-backed coup which ousted Chile's President Salvador Allende. The US says it regrets the recent diplomatic expulsions and has rejected Bolivia's allegations against its ambassador.

POPSThe Balfour Declaration and the Mandate Under the League of Nations ........ The Jewish Connection To The Land ...... We consider Palestine as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic, and geographical bonds." The purpose of post-World War I's League of Nations was to prepare those liberated from the Turks for independence. Once the indigenous populations demonstrated their ability to assume control, the mandates given to the war's victorious superpowers were supposed to be self-terminating. For the international community, justice for the Arabs meant guaranteeing their economic, civil, and religious rights. Awarding the Arabs any form of self-government within Palestine was precluded by British commitments to the Jews under the Balfour Declaration, which had been incorporated in the mandate of the League of Nations.

POPSBartering sex for stuff or services Cont... Ben Corbett, a 39-year-old contractor from Boulder, Colorado, credits his tool belt with prompting the barrage of come-ons he fields from female clients -- most of them married -- on a regular basis. "It starts with the flirting, and it just progresses," says Corbett, who has run a construction and remodeling business for 20 years. "They'll touch my hand, and there's all this physical contact. Or they'll run around in their pajamas." "Once," he says, "I was painting the hallway right outside a client's bedroom, and she was lying on her bed like a girl at a slumber party with her legs up and her arms crossed and her head resting on them, asking me if I had a girlfriend.
