POPSThe Crushing Burden of Multiple Deployments In April, Veterans for America's Wounded Warrior Outreach Program released two reports, The Consequences of Churning and Weekend Warriors to Frontline Soldiers, that showed that not only are these repeated deployments taking their toll on returning servicemembers with increased incidents of combat stress, but many frontline units are repeatedly experiencing higher KIA (Killed in Action) than most servicemembers who have been deployed to Iraq and/or Afghanistan. The repeated deployment of "three deuce five" is hardly unique. The 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division, which has already been deployed three times since September 11, 2001, will be deployed again this fall, making it one of a handful of BCT's that will have seen four tours

POPSCan Google Earth Save The World? "The great thing about Google Earth is it gives you that ability to be there," said Tim Irwin, a spokesman for the U.N. organization. "We're hoping to take something that might be a little abstract for some people and make it very real." Rebecca Moore, manager of Google Earth Outreach, said she is hoping the software can be used by organizations on a larger scale. "This sort of immersive experience can lead to greater understanding, greater compassion and a desire to help," she said.

POPSSan Francisco SoMa Sweeps of Homeless individuals and families.
STARTS ON FRI - Oct 4, 2007-6am -bring videos to witness: A clear picture of abuse of power. SFPD will be citing and/or arresting homeless people (and taking their property away) who DO NOT voluntary accept services ( like shelter housing ). SF does NOT have many safe shelters or SRO's (Single Room Occupancies Rooms) so many homeless sleep in small groups to be safer on streets and panhandle for food. Some tax payer funded shelters serve really bad food (low calories, tiny portions, undercooked) so they panhandle so they can eat a $3.75 breakfast (2 eggs, toast, hash browns and bacon) at cheap restaurants on 6th & Mission Streets. It's cheaper to build safe permanent housing than it is to harass & violate Constitutional Rights of citizens who happen to be homeless because it keeps them safer than they'd be if they went to tax payer funded shelters which have had several potentially preventable deaths and suicides this year.

POPSBob Dylan Reaffirms His Place in the Tribe
some of the comments appear on this page: Comments ClarityJoe | 9/28/2007, 5:46 am EST Yea for Bob! I am not sure what the commotion is all about. He is being no different than Jesus and every disciple/apostle. They when to Temple every Shabbat(Saturday), every Yom Kippur, Succot, Passover, and Shavout as they were supposed to do. Bob hopefully will become even more like Jesus and the discipes/apostles and become Orthodox Torah keepers as it says Mat:5:18-20 and Acts 21:20. This would be fantastic, Go get-em Bob! JEFFREY TOBIAS | 9/28/2007, 4:58 am EST BOB,YOU PICKED A GREAT OUTREACH PROGRAM,AND SHUL,WELCOME ABOARD. Ch Willie | 9/25/2007, 10:30 pm EST I hate it when Bob gets religious. Just means that he’s never going to give us the kind of observations on religion that can only come from someone stepping out of it and looking back in… A Jew | 9/25/2007, 8:51 pm EST Welcome home Bob. We love ya. Rockbutterfly | 9/25/2007, 5:38 pm EST Hey, it’s cool if

POPSUS Castoffs Become 3rd World Saviors America's consumer culture pays off for some less fortunate people in the world. When a wheelchair gets too old or breaks down, it's cheaper for American insurers to spend $300 to replace it. Instead of filling up our landfills, this organizations help the chairs get to people who really need them all over the world. What's trash to an American well help another person get out of the dirt and have a more fulfilling life.

POPSLive Earth to reach two billion world over
Al Gore has recruited Australian-based Cathy Zoi to run the Alliance for Climate Protection he set up six months ago. "It will be the first great note in a worldwide song demanding change that will be heard on every continent in every time zone," Zoi says of the concerts. "Post Live Earth, the Alliance for Climate Protection is undertaking a three- to five-year campaign to educate people from all walks of life that the climate crisis is both critically urgent and something we can solve." One such action is the Live Earth's outreach program, called Friends of Live Earth. Some 6000 people have applied for kits to run their own events simultaneously with the concerts. A key part of Live Earth will be to get people around the world to sign a seven-part pledge that commits them to lobby their governments. This is much more than a feel-good exercise: the event organisers plan to capture a massive database of people who can be mobilised in future campaigns - and be asked to do

POPSBush admin: Undermining Iranian democracy Similar warnings were delivered to U.S. officials by others, including Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council. "We had talks with the State Department and with lawmakers," Parsi told TIME. "We pointed out the dangers. Our advice was not taken into consideration. Things have turned out worse than we expected." Parsi says that, in the past, individual democracy activists have been arrested without a pretext, but that the Bush Administration's program gave the regime an opportunity to go after as many as 10,000 non-government organizations and their memberships. "There is tremendous self-censorship going on," Parsi says. "They know that the money has made them targets." Via Garance Franke-Ruta
