POPSWorld's Greenest Museum It took 10 years to build and cost $500 million, but the California Academy of Sciences finally unveiled its new green home. The single building hosts a planetarium, natural history museum, aquarium and four-story rain forest. Some of the green components include floor to ceiling windows that provide natural lighting; a "living roof" with solar panels and native plants; and insulation made of recycled blue jeans.

POPSBartering sex for stuff or services Cont... Ben Corbett, a 39-year-old contractor from Boulder, Colorado, credits his tool belt with prompting the barrage of come-ons he fields from female clients -- most of them married -- on a regular basis. "It starts with the flirting, and it just progresses," says Corbett, who has run a construction and remodeling business for 20 years. "They'll touch my hand, and there's all this physical contact. Or they'll run around in their pajamas." "Once," he says, "I was painting the hallway right outside a client's bedroom, and she was lying on her bed like a girl at a slumber party with her legs up and her arms crossed and her head resting on them, asking me if I had a girlfriend.

POPSAmazon Rainforest Dwindles In The Rush For Biofuels
'' 'It offends me to see fingers pointed against clean energy from biofuels, fingers soiled with oil and coal,' President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said." As the politicians were hurling accusations in Rome, a new Brazilian study indicates that Amazon rainforest depletion is intensifying. Read about it here. Brazil's new environment minister is blaming it on cattle ranchers. That nine-month total surpassed the entire acreage in the Amazon that was destroyed over the previous 12 months, according to DETER data. What's worse, the satellites couldn't see about half of the forest in April due to cloud cover, suggesting that actual deforestation likely was much greater. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/americas/story/557332.html The minister, Carlos Minc, says Brazil's government will impound cattle caught grazing on illegally cleared pastures with an operation, dubbed "Rogue Bull," to attack deforestation in the rain forest. http://www.miamiherald.com/915/story/556812.html
