POPSSatisfied? Now? Who Are These People? One of the first people I met was "satisfied," but she'd also been drinking that afternoon and wouldn't let me use her name. (I directed her to the closest bar.) Later I found a really sweet couple satisfied with the way things are going in America, because they live in Canada. Lynda Race, of Arlington, Va., who is "almost 50," boiled it down: "I love America. Where else would you be more satisfied?" Clip Song

POPSViewers' Perspectives...on Palin Leg Photo It's what I would expect from the European press...meaning the ridiculous shots of women tennis players during major tournaments, and what you'd see from the tabloids at the grocery counters. I guess the Reuters photographer was bored or thought he'd try a new perspective. Have we seen Michelle's ankles with young men staring up through them?

POPSWhat the Strida folding bike is and isn't I'm a little dubious of the part about the saddle is meant to be a little closer to the crank than with a normal bike, so you'll pedal with slightly bent knees. The advantage of this is that you can put both feet on the ground while in the saddle. Like I said, forget everything you know about bikes. Forget everything I know about bikes, okay. But pedaling or pumping with one's knees bent, regardless of what kind of vehicle or machine is being pedaled or pumped, is tiring and less efficient than having one's legs more fully extended. Hm.

POPSMentally Ill Killed by Medication
The gentle, artistic boy who played the cello and bass guitar was long gone. "At 15 Daniel was being bullied at school and then started to have strange thoughts, anxiety and sleep problems. A doctor prescribed him a powerful drug called Stelazine and that was the start of a nightmare which eventually led to his death. He had bad physical reactions to the medication straight away but every symptom was seen as more evidence of schizophrenia and treated with more medication. Alternative treatments were never an option; keeping him calm was the priority. "Daniel was really passive and never complained but my mum was convinced the medication was going to kill him. She changed GPs many times, went private, bought vitamins and demanded blood tests; getting better care for Daniel became her full-time occupation but she was accused of interfering. In the months before his death, Daniel suffered from three major epileptic fits brought on by drinking too much water. Why was he so thirsty? I

POPS(Sad Update) Black Fox Found Dead Kevin Hehir, 48, from Ribbleton in Preston, spotted the animal on September 8 while he was out walking and managed to take pictures and record footage. He said: "What a shame. At the time it looked weary and like it was on its last legs. I'm pleased that I managed to get a picture of it." Like other black animals, the black fox is said to be linked to doom and disaster and the sighting provoked much reaction from readers. However, the farmer added: "Far from being unlucky for me, it brought the sunshine and dry weather for the harvest." Black foxes can often be seen in Europe and North America but are not thought to be native to the UK. David Dunlop, Lancashire Wildlife Trust conservation officer, said: "I imagine it's probably the same one because it's very rare. "I'm assuming it had been ill like a lot of animals in the wild." >> Black fox spotted for first time (with video)

POPSThe Physicist Who Figured Out Ballet "To turn your body you must apply a torque, or twisting force, to it, and once you are in the air you have nothing to apply a torque with. If, on the other hand, you begin twisting from the ground up, clasping your legs together at the apex of your leap while raising your arms above your head, you will do a rapid 180-degree turn, which is the object of the exercise. “ :-)

POPSDemocrats To Commuters - Ride a Bike for 20 Bucks yes - here's the solution to our energy problems. Giving 20 dollar per month per employee tax deductions to businesses. Of course, they are frantically working to make sure that we can't drill for oil precisely where we KNOW it is - because that might actually make sense apparently. But your legs might be worth a double sawbuck to your employers. Not to you of course - the tax benefit will go to your employer. Just one other question - are we now going to have bike tax police to monitor the tax returns of business who claim this deduction to verify that the employees are truly humping themselves into the office? When will the first bike tax deduction scofflaw be hauled before the authorities? Lots of employment benefits here.
