POPS24 Unforgettable Advertisements Just another set of weirdness that we human beings do to get attention. Marked Mature for the PETA ad as I will err on the side of caution... The Giant Prop ads remind me of the old TV shows and the movies of the 30s and 40s where they were very common... My favorite? The Mini Cooper ad... Priceless!

POPSVeterans Hit The Battlegrounds We need to finish the job. . . . No matter who is president." Hegseth says his group is not operating on behalf of McCain and notes that federal law prohibits the organization from coordinating the ad with his campaign. The states were chosen, he said, not because they are crucial swing states for McCain, but rather because the heightened interest in those states will give it a larger audience. "We're going to tap into that heightened awareness," he said, noting that his organization has supported several Democratic candidates in the past year or so. "It's not an attack on anybody. We're not taking on any presidential candidates." He said McCain has been the "strongest advocate" for the veterans of the two wars. "We would hope that success in Iraq could benefit everybody," he said.

POPSObama's 50 state strategy Sen. McCain's has spent the past week trying to convince us that Sen. Obama is a typical politician. Let's review. Sen. McCain spent the past week in Colombia, Mexico, and his ranch in Arizona. Sen. Obama spent the past week flying all over the USA attempting to win voters in all 50 states, including those usually ceded by Democrats to the Republicans. Yeah, sounds typical to me.

POPSThe Coming Flood of Energy Reporting Very important heads up information here. "It’s not a stretch to see energy information being used in legal matters. If for example, a person bought a building that was advertised as 20% more energy efficient than a DOE standard and later found out the building was only 10% more efficient, it wouldn’t take many tenants before one tenant legally disputed such a claim, triggering a need for energy-use information. Building owners will need information on the building’s energy metrics to buy or sell energy with the utility grid." In New Mexico visit www.MyTekServices.com

POPSChild Detainees Battle System Alone
Eight immigrant youths suing the Abraxas Hector Garza Treatment Center in San Antonio describe being beaten repeatedly, so severely that several required hospitalization. The abuse continued even after it was reported to their caretakers' supervisors. In Nixon, Texas, ten detained young people filing a Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid lawsuit allege repeated assault and retaliation upon reporting the abuse. Of course, most abused detainees do not have access to pro bono lawyers and cannot hope to sue; much more often than not, their stories go untold. For the most part, however, the facilities' violations are kept from the public eye - and the eye of the federal government doesn't see much of them either, according to a recent OIG report noting that "interviews with Department of Unaccompanied Children's Services central office officials indicate that little oversight of facilities occurs." Federal officials aren't required to meet with children when they visit the facilities.

POPSDrugs and Crime Scraping the insane drug laws which make it profitable for criminals to engage in drugs in the first place would be a great start. Admit it's a medical and not a legal problem. Turn the resources to that end that are now squandered on law enforcement.

POPS Mexicans Protest Canadian Mining Company
"Not only does the mine require an estimated 32 million litres of water per day, there are serious concerns that the cyanide will contaminate the aquifers, says hydrologist Mario Martínez. "There are cyanide heap leach pads (large pools) right on top of an aquifer." "Once the ore is removed from the Cerro de San Pedro pit, it is trucked two km to specially prepared outdoor pads, where a solution of water and cyanide is sprayed on the ore to dissolve the gold and silver out of the rock. The water is treated to remove the precious metals and recover some of the cyanide. "spent ore" is removed and piled into hills already more than 20 metres high "Sixteen tonnes of sodium cyanide are being used daily, and there is a great risk it could seep into the aquifer" The mining company assures that the cyanide is managed in a closed circuit and that the surface of the leaching pools are covered by special plastic membranes, injected with air and monitored by leak detectors.
