POPSA Green Spot in London Can Jog Innovative Adaptation in US? You can't just copy things, as lots of folks imagine but you can adapt them to fit your local area.

POPSAsbury Park homeless shelter shuts its doors
"40-bed facility was too large, city zoners say. However, of the 40 beds in the new Jersey Shore Rescue Center, 27 were for men who could stay up to 10 nights but would have to leave the mission during the day. Ten beds were for those men who committed to join the mission's gospel rescue program, usually alcohol or drug rehabilitation that would last 9 to 12 months.

POPSN.J. Woman Finds Missile Launcher In Front Yard How'd that get there? By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: July 20, 2007 Filed at 3:12 p.m. ET JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) -- An old anti-tank missile launcher was found Friday on a lawn in Jersey City, just across the river from lower Manhattan. The launcher was inoperable and posed no hazard, police said. They turned it over to Army officials at Fort Monmouth. Army personnel identified the yard-long tube as an AT-4 anti-tank missile launcher, said fort spokesman Timothy Rider. Such launchers can only be used once to fire a missile, and soldiers determined that this launcher had been fired, he said. ''It can never be reloaded, but it still has the mechanism that can be useful for training,'' Rider said, explaining that soldiers can learn to carry it on their shoulder and take aim. Police and Army officials are investigating how the device ended up on the lawn. Officials said it appeared to be about 20 years old.
