POPSInvisible hand in invisible matter. Dark matter might not exist. Dr Famaey added, "If we account for our observations with a modified law of gravity, it makes perfect sense to replace the effective action of hypothetical dark matter with a force closely related to the distribution of visible matter." The implications of the new research could change some of the most widely held scientific theories about the history and expansion of the universe. Lead researcher Dr. Gianfranco Gentile at the University of Ghent concludes, "Understanding this puzzling conspiracy is probably the key to unlock the formation of galaxies and their structures." What about NASA's direct proof on dark matter's existance? Broken study? This is actually makes sense, but so far is a little hard to accept. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

POPS Helen's Got Questions! "Is he going to fight for it or not?" Thomas snapped. "We're going to work to get choice and competition into health-care reform" was Gibbs's vague response. Thomas took that as a no. "You're not going to get it," she advised. "Then why do you keep asking me?" Gibbs inquired. "Because I want your conscience to bother you," Thomas replied. The room erupted; Gibbs reddened. Actually, conscience isn't the problem for Gibbs and his boss; it's spine. Thomas's question got at an Obama administration trait that is puzzling opponents and demoralizing supporters: Why isn't the president more decisive and forceful? On many of the most pressing issues -- the public option in health reform, troop levels in Afghanistan, sanctions against Iran -- the administration has hewed to hemming and hawing. On Pennsylvania Avenue outside the White House on Thursday, environmental activists were demanding to know why Obama wouldn't, as they put it,

POPSFall colors fade in U.S. west as Aspen Trees die
Dale Bartos, aspen ecologist with the Rocky Mountain Research Station, is cautious about using climate-based forecasts to predict an end to aspen. "I see aspen moving up and down the hillsides with climate change," he said. "As it dries out, we may see aspen on the lower end move up the hill. I don't think the answer is cut and dried." Others foresee a grim outlook for a tree long associated with the appeal of the West. "What we think will happen is that aspen will disappear in some areas and there will not be anything we can do about it," said SAD expert Wayne Shepperd. A study by the federal Rocky Mountain Research Station presented just such a scenario. It predicted the near total disappearance of aspen in the Rocky Mountain region by 2090. The research, to be published in Forest Ecology and Management, concludes that up to 41 percent of Western forests would be unable to support aspen by 2030. That figure would rise to 75 percent by 2060 and as much as 94 percent

POPSJudge Seeks Answers on SEC Deal With Bank of America
In a court filing Monday, the SEC said Bank of America executives relied on advice from outside counsel, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. The agency said it had no evidence that the executives sought to mislead shareholders and could not investigate whether they did so without Bank of America waiving its attorney-client privilege, which the bank did not do. "If the SEC is right in this assertion, it would seem that all a corporate officer who has produced a false proxy statement need offer by way of defense is that he or she relied on counsel, and, if the company does not waive the privilege, the assertion will never be tested, and the culpability of both the corporate officer and the company counsel will remain beyond scrutiny," Rakoff wrote Tuesday. Rakoff also raised the possibility that the lawyers could be held responsible. The settlement "leaves open the question of whether, if it was actually the lawyers who made the decisions that resulted in a false proxy statement,

POPSGiant Cloud Of Marijuana Smoke Discovered In Space Other astronomers with a religious outlook, see something else. They believe God exhaled the smoke after creating the Universe. When God rested on the seventh day, He probably lit up a trillion joints. This theory would answer many theological issues. Further analysis of the marijuana cloud indicates the cloud is rotating. Astronomers now think the cloud will collapse on itself and form stars and planets in the distant future. One day, an extra-terrestrial species of beings made from marijuana smoke could evolve to answer all the questions of the Universe.

POPSSacrificial virgins of the Mississippi
As archaeologist Timothy Pauketat's cautious but mesmerizing new book, "Cahokia: Ancient America's Great City on the Mississippi," makes clear, Cahokia -- the greatest Native American city north of Mexico -- definitely belongs to human history. (It is not "historical," in the strict sense, because the Cahokians left no written records.) At its peak in the 12th century, this settlement along the Mississippi River bottomland of western Illinois, a few miles east of modern-day St. Louis, was probably larger than London, and held economic, cultural and religious sway over a vast swath of the American heartland. Featuring a man-made central plaza covering 50 acres and the third-largest pyramid in the New World (the 100-foot-tall "Monks Mound"), Cahokia was home to at least 20,000 people. If that doesn't sound impressive from a 21st-century perspective, consider that the next city on United States territory to attain that size would be Philadelphia, some 600 years later.

POPSAMA signs its members up to be civil servants I have not met a single person who is not completely worried about this healthcare issue. No one argues that there are a lot of things that need to be fixed or altered. But the *rush* factor is very puzzling. Better to intelligently deal with one portion at a time than to throw over the entire system when parts of it are working well.

POPSWhy is the UK a #swineflu hotspot? Having swine flu parties for the kids to build up immunity didn't help. The article concludes: "It may be Britain’s misfortune to be hit first and hit hardest by the world’s first flu pandemic for 40 years. On the other hand, if it causes only mild illness this winter, we may be counting our blessings by the following one should the virus mutate to something nastier. What doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger."

POPSSwiss Company Promises Chocolate Revolution Too Good to Be True? Chocolate That Doesn't Melt and Is Low in Calories "The bar's creators want to use it to tackle a growing problem: In Western Europe and North America, chocolate consumption has leveled off and, in some cases, begun to decline. In the past year, consumers in the eight largest western European countries consumed 2 percent less chocolate. In the US, consumption decreased by 8 percent. Under these circumstances, manufacturers are forced to rely on emerging markets for future profits. The calorie-reduced "Vulcano" will be made available in both bar and cookie form."
