POPSQUIZ: What American Accent Do You Have? If you think you don't have an accent, think again. This short quiz is a way to find out which dialect of American English you speak. Different regional accents become more prevalent in countries at different times throughout the years for various socio-economic and geographical reasons. These accents come to be perceived as "neutral" or "accent-less" by the majority during these times. For a while, the American dialect sometimes called "Standard Midwestern" has dominated but, like accents themselves, this "standard" constantly evolves. Recently, the spoken aspects of American English have trended westward along with the population center of America. Many features distinct to Northeastern accents (think NYC, Boston) are being replaced in popularity with those from Western accents (think LA) across America. This shift tends to be more prominent the younger the speaker is.

POPSCandid NYC Subway Turnstile Photos UPDATE: Darn, the site didn't clip as well as I was hoping. But it's still worth seeing. See main site for high-resolution photos . Fascinating installation by NYC photographer, Bill Sullivan, who frames the wonder that is human variety in everyday — yet unexpected — locations. (Love the guy with the BMX wheels in his hands.) (Via kottke .)

POPSNYC man saves stranger's life in subway fall That's the New York I used to know (and love). People act like they don't give a shit, but they look out for one another in a real emergency. This is the train I used to take to work every day; it happened about a dozen blocks uptown from where i used to live.

POPSUm, Kenya? You guys OK? Finishing fourth in the men's category was another American, Ryan Hall. Hall, 27, is a rising star on the world running circuit and made headlines last year by running the London marathon in a stunning 2:06:17. Americans once dominated long-distance running, bringing home consecutive gold medals from 1970-82. Marathon legend Bill Rodgers won the New York City four years in a row from 1976 to 1979, and Alberto Salazar took walked away with successive victories from 1980-82. The marathon, which began in 1970 with a mere 127 runners, now hosts 38,000 athletes from around the globe, according to the marathon's Web site. Known for its diverse, punishing terrain, the annual event spans all five of New York's City's boroughs, finishing in the heart of Central Park. Keflezighi and Tulu will each receive $130,000 in prize money.

POPSSocial Justice Photography I altered this photo slightly from the original - changed it to the sepia hues - because I have my own artiste inside and the color seemed to detract from the "what's really going on here."

POPSAdvertising Gone Wild: Group Sex Implied This ad is on a billboard in NYC. In case you missed what the ad is actually selling, there is, in small print, in opaque typeface, the words Calvin Klein Jeans. In my opinion this ad is in extremely poor taste, mainly for where it is displayed. I personally do not understand how an orgy scene could possibly sell jeans, or any other clothing for that matter, but I realize I am not among their target audience. They obviously think they are so much more sophisticated than someone of my age group. And, I realize that simply by objecting to it identifies me as a member of that group. I can already hear some of you screaming that I am an oppressor of ‘freedom of speech’ as soon as I say this ad is inappropriate to be placed in such a public place. So bring it on. I have never considered myself a prude, I am not for censorship unless it lends itself to the corruption of minors, as this ad clearly does.

POPSPalin, Cloward, Piven and Kafka Some of the complaints her legal team responded to were simply absurd. Complaint alleging interference in a job hiring was filed under the name of Edna Birch, a busybody character on the British soap opera Emmerdale. Palin's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, said no one by that name could be found living in Alaska and the filer refused to use a real name, so the complaint was dismissed Feb. 20. Forget about the fairness or irrationality of this complaint. The mere fact that she had to engage an attorney to respond to it means anyone with a computer, printer and a few stamps can force a politician to incur thousands of dollars in legal fees. And while these sort of Kafkaesque tribunals have normally been reserved for prominent Americans, we might all get to participate in the future.
