POPSMexicans break World's 'Thriller' Dance Record "He transcends borders," says Fabiola Aguilar, decked out in the red get-up that Michael Jackson wore in the original video. She crouched over, next to her 9-year-old son in an identical outfit, and both simulated arising from the dead, as they rehearsed moves they'd practiced for two weeks. "Dancing brings us all together." Birthday celebrations and memorials across the globe came as Jackson's June 25 death was officially ruled a homicide. Mexico City's event had the full backing of the capital, which marveled at the spontaneity of a grassroots effort turned mega. "Many of these kids weren't even alive when Thriller came out," says the head of the city's youth institute, Javier Hidalgo, sporting a white glove.

POPSChef's recipe: Summer Pudding
Recipe continues: Toss the firmer berries (such as currants and blueberries) with the sugar and lemon juice, then place in a suitable pan. Bring to a simmer. Add the softer fruit and continue cooking just until the juices start to run (overcooking will spoil the fresh flavours). Remove from the heat and reserve. Line a 1.5-litre glass or china bowl with the bread, overlapping slightly and pressing the edges of the slices together. Pour in the fruit. Cover the top with more bread to completely enclose. Press down using the flat of your hand; juice will start to seep up and through the bread. Place the filled bowl on a large plate. Then place a smaller plate (small enough to allow some downward movement within the bowl) on top. Place a weight of about 3 pounds on top of the small plate and leave in the fridge overnight. The next day there will be a good amount of juice either on the large plate or in the bowl on top of the small plate: Reserve this juice. More below ....

POPS Mexicans Protest Canadian Mining Company
"Not only does the mine require an estimated 32 million litres of water per day, there are serious concerns that the cyanide will contaminate the aquifers, says hydrologist Mario Martínez. "There are cyanide heap leach pads (large pools) right on top of an aquifer." "Once the ore is removed from the Cerro de San Pedro pit, it is trucked two km to specially prepared outdoor pads, where a solution of water and cyanide is sprayed on the ore to dissolve the gold and silver out of the rock. The water is treated to remove the precious metals and recover some of the cyanide. "spent ore" is removed and piled into hills already more than 20 metres high "Sixteen tonnes of sodium cyanide are being used daily, and there is a great risk it could seep into the aquifer" The mining company assures that the cyanide is managed in a closed circuit and that the surface of the leaching pools are covered by special plastic membranes, injected with air and monitored by leak detectors.

POPSTop 10 Not So Bad Astronomy Pics All Beautiful...from Mark Morford's SF Gate column...3) Top 10 astronomy photos of 2007 (Bad Astronomy). You know what we as a nation, as a people lack more than anything else in this bitter, Bush-gutted age? No, not more porn-happy YouTube-ripoff sites. It's awe. The raw, delicious, mind-bending, perspective shattering, oh-my-God-what-the-hell-is-that kind of awe that makes your id tingle and your ego sigh. Stare in wonder, then, at these photos. Let them seep in. Note for example, how the star known as Mira (a.k.a. "The Wonderful") has a tail that is 13 light years (about 80 trillion miles) long. See two massive, ancient galaxies mingle in a lover's embrace. Note how two of the most beautiful words in the English language might just be "whirlpool galaxy." Feel your brain whimper, but your soul expand. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2008/01/09/notes010908.DTL&nl=fix
