POPSUS 49% fish toxic - what do you think global toxicity is? We do not protect our water as well as we should but we do a better job than most of the areas we are importing fish from, I believe. Wonder if they sell portable kits so you could test your meal before ordering at Red Lobster is you still kill fish - er eat fish. Sorry, I am a vegan - grin.

POPSMind Body and Butoh from Wikipedia: Tatsumi Hijikata (土方巽, Hijikata Tatsumi), March 9, 1928 - January 21, 1986) was a Japanese choreographer, and the founder of a genre of dance performance art called Butoh. Hijikata was an innovator in movement technique. He was a master of the use of energy qualities in constructing expressive movement. He would use sounds, paintings, sculptures, and words to construct movement, not exclusively in a formal or literal memetic application, but by integrating these elements via visualization into the nervous system to produce movement qualities that could be very subtle, light, angelic and ghost-like, or demonic, heavy, dark, grotesque, violent and extreme.

POPSWhere's the Beef - Coming From? USDA Inspected - so it's safe - right? Well it used to be, when there were enough government inspectors on the job. But take 99 out of the 100 there used to be and the results is lots of people get sick, some die, and some get paralyzed for life like then-22 year-old dance instructor Stephanie Smith. Why is the US meat market less safe than in Japan or Europe? Ideology, not science. Greed, not any care for the consumer.

POPSThe Burger That Shattered Her Life Meat companies and grocers have been barred from selling ground beef tainted by the virulent strain of E. coli known as O157:H7 since 1994, after an outbreak at Jack in the Box restaurants left four children dead. Yet tens of thousands of people are still sickened annually by this pathogen, federal health officials estimate, with hamburger being the biggest culprit. Ground beef has been blamed for 16 outbreaks in the last three years alone, including the one that left Ms. Smith paralyzed from the waist down. This summer, contamination led to the recall of beef from nearly 3,000 grocers in 41 states. Ms. Smith’s reaction to the virulent strain of E. coli was extreme, but tracing the story of her burger, through interviews and government and corporate records obtained by The New York Times, shows why eating ground beef is still a gamble. Neither the system meant to make the meat safe, nor the meat itself, is what consumers have been led to believe.

POPSVaccine & Gulf War syndrome Swine flu vaccine
Theory of Squalene's Action The fact that squalene is a biological compound naturally found in the body is likely the reason it can be so dangerous when injected. When eaten or self-manufactured, squalene arrives in a normal way that doesn't arouse the immune system. However, if the immune system comes into contact with it in conjunction with the injury of injection, it can be taken as an intruder. This sensitizes the immune system into attacking squalene anywhere it's found, thus starting a process of self-destruction, the very definition of an autoimmune disorder. Current Status of Squalene Squalene is approved for use in the European Union, and is now included in the Novartis adjuvant called MF59. This adjuvant is used in the EU-approved influenza vaccine. The FDA has approved fast tracking for development of influenza vaccines. Pharmaceutical corporations Sinovac, Baxter, and Novartis have all announced their plans to have their vaccines available by this autumn. All of the

POPSClean Water Laws Are Neglected, at the Cost in Suffering
“How can we get digital cable and Internet in our homes, but not clean water?” asked one resident. When the source of the pollutants were found, state regulators never fined or punished the offending companies. The Clean Water Act was passed nearly four decades ago to force polluters to disclose what they dump and to give regulators the power to fine or jail offenders. So why haven’t these offenders been fined or jailed? And more importantly, why is this allowed to continue? The federal govt is big on writing legislation that ‘proves to its citizens’ that they are ‘concerned for our safety’ but are sorely lacking on follow-through. The new EPA administrator says that she intends to strengthen water protections, but, given their track record what good is strengthening a regulation that does not get enforced? This is just more BS to keep her job. Meanwhile residents who have the misfortune of living downstream from well-known, blatant polluters know they will not be protected

POPS The Secret of The Gecko's Grip
"Something in their system tells them to turn it on at 10 degrees," Higham said. "If you only use it when you need it, then you are not going to subject it to damage." There are advantages for the lizard to not use its adhesive system on level surfaces, Higham said -- mainly to run faster. "Having that extra speed can help them run away or catch something," he said. Higham suggested that the study of the gecko's grip could lead to the development of military and other applications, including gloves and shoes that could adhere to a variety of surfaces and allow people to scale walls. In the YouTube video, Russell proposes surgical applications to close wounds and picture hangers that would not require a sticky residue. The study could also lead to a robot made in the gecko's image. "In a bomb scare or military-type situation, where having humans go in might not be really safe, you can send in a little robotic gecko and explore a dangerous situation," Higham said.

POPSWillard Wigan Indescribable ! I say indescribable, because I don't want to limit my vocabulary of adjectives to wow! The man is illiterate, but a genius just the same. An artistic genius, but I wonder that if someone had taken the time to try and educate him if he would not have become a great surgeon, perhaps the greatest surgeon of our day. Please view the video.

POPSArtificial Brain on it’s way to reality. And yet, Dr. Henry Markram is willing to get accept the challenge to get this job done within 10 years. So, would this be another of those "fake" promises with the only purpose to get the scientist up on the midia or maybe a "real" one, giving us something that we have been dreaming of since the early days? And then again, we should wait to see the polemics this is going to bring.
