POPSThe fastest land animal in the world, The fastest land animal in the world, the cheetah is a marvel of evolution. Capable of running up to 70 miles per hour, the cheetah’s slender, long-legged body is built for speed. Its spotted coat, small head and ears, and distinctive “tear stripes” from the corner of the eyes down the sides of the nose make the cheetah highly recognizable among the large cats of Africa.

POPSCats purrfect the art of getting what they want: study When humans were played purrs recorded while cats were actively seeking food at equal volume to purrs recorded in non-solicitation contexts, even those with no experience of cats judged the ?solicitation? purrs to be more urgent and less pleasant," she said. When the team re-synthesised the purrs to remove the embedded cry, the urgency ratings decreased significantly. McComb concluded that the cats were using the special purr to make their views known without risking irritating humans with an overt meow. However, this solution appears only to work in cats living one-on-one with their owners -- cats in large households usually have to meow to be heard.

POPSFree Range Pigs Carry More Disease than do Confined Pigs The author is using scare tacticts in a pushback from large scale farming. Raising animals does mean there is some risk and we have to figure out what is acceptable risk. Pumping large amounts of antibiotics into animals packed into confined spaces is risky behaviour for long term public health. If you like the way free range tastes by all means eat it, just don't fool yourself that you are doing so risk free.

POPSOperation Cat Drop More: "The solution to this new problem was to increase Borneo’s cat population – and fast. It was therefore decided that cats would have to be brought in from outside and so a cargo of live cats was parachuted into Borneo. The fact is that “Operation Cat Drop” did take place to replenish Borneo’s cat population. However, the only written evidence of the matter states that only 20 cats were dropped, together with other goods, in a special container designed to withstand the parachute drop by a large Royal Air Force cargo plane, over Bario, a remote village in northern Borneo on 13th March, 1960."

POPSObama Strikes Back At Budget Critics The president's language did include one concession to criticisms. During Tuesday's address to Congress he said he had identified "two trillion dollars in savings over the next decade" in the budget. But many pointed out that the "savings" came from tax hikes on those making more than $200,000 and families making more than $250,000, and from cutting Iraq war spending that critics said was never going to happen anyway. On Saturday, Mr. Obama continued to use the $2 trillion figure, but called it "deficit reductions" instead of "savings."

POPSIs There No Shame on Wall Street? Wall Street fat cats gave themselves billions of dollars in bonuses from tax payers money given to help stimulate the economy. Their idea of a stimulation plan is to keep a large chunk of that money for themselves. A bonus is typically given to employees to show gratification for a job well done. This is unless you work on Wall Street. Evidently they think that if the money is given to them without any oversight to ensure it is used for its intended purpose then the money should go into their own pockets. There once was a time when someone caught red-handed in abusing the public trust and/or misusing funds would feel shame. These days, it seems, are no more. There are people out there who think shame is an indication of naiveté that should be dismissed at all costs. That it belies a certain level of ‘sophistication’. Well, this thinking only serves to make this bad behavior more acceptable and our society is paying a very high price for it.

POPSCreature Comforts "They’re all showing up in stores and in restaurants, which is perfectly legal because the Americans With Disabilities Act (A.D.A.) requires that service animals be allowed wherever their owners want to go. This has resulted in a growing debate over how to handle these animals, as well as widespread suspicion that people are abusing the law to get special privileges for their pets."

POPS Trail Of The Black Panther Leads To Kenthurst, Australia Although there is no hard evidence the creatures exist, residents have become so frightened that the Department of Primary Industries has commissioned a report on the cats, due early next year. "The DPI is currently putting together a report following recent concerns from residents living in the Grose Vale area," a spokeswoman said. "The report will look at a range of options, as well as a review of the existing evidence." Article from: The Daily Telegraph

POPSChinese Seek To Pull Cats From The Menu She picked up one cat with a fresh red scar running around its body caused by a wire that dealers wrap around cats to keep them from running away. Often, the cats are badly mistreated in their final moments, crammed as tightly as tomatoes into crates so they can't breathe, and clubbed into semiconsciousness before being thrown alive into boiling water. "This is a crime that humiliates all Chinese people," Lu said. "Guangdong people are the most unprincipled of the human species!" wrote one person. "They would eat their mothers-in-law if there was no law."

POPSLarge dog savaged by killer squirrels continues: Mikhail Tiyunov, a scientist in the region, said it was the first he had ever heard of such an attack. While squirrels without sources of protein might attack birds' nests, he said, the idea of them chewing a dog to death was "absurd". "If it really happened, things must be pretty bad in our forests," he added. Komosmolskaya Pravda notes that in a previous incident this autumn chipmunks terrorised cats in a part of the territory. A Lazo man who called himself only Mikhalich said there had been "no pine cones at all" in the local forests this year. "The little beasts are agitated because they have nothing to eat," he added.
