POPSWhat are two Russian subs doing off the US coast? Maybe they are going to offer rides on the subs for a small fee. Hopefully it will be cheaper than the $25 million to go to the space station. I suppose anyone wanting to take a ride will have to boat out 200 miles to their position, since it does not sound like they can drive in to pick ya up. Suppose it is a good way to raise some funding during economic crisis, just offer sub rides. Anyone have a boat and want to go out? ;-)

POPSThe Russians Are Coming! Casino Royale demonstrates that anyone vaguely Slavic makes the best bad guy. But for a true tribute to the Cold War genre, nothing tops Mike Myers towering body of work: Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery, Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me, and Goldmember. All of it of course stands in the shadow of the greatest Cold War flick of all time … Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Sorry, got sidetracked. It was another time. This is supposed to be about those damned Russian subs, popping up again like a crazy stalker girlfriend from the past. According to Defense Department officials, one of the Russian submarines remained in international waters on Tuesday about 200 miles off the coast of the United States. The location of the second remained unclear. I hope no Gloucester draggermen snag ‘em. Could be awkward. The submarine patrols come as Moscow tries to shake off the embarrassment of the . . .

POPSDeclassified: Russian Navy UFO records more (at source): On one occasion a nuclear submarine, which was on a combat mission in the Pacific Ocean, detected six unknown objects. After the crew failed to leave behind their pursuers by maneuvering, the captain ordered to surface. The objects followed suit, took to the air, and flew away. Many mysterious events happened in the region of Bermuda Triangle, recalls retired submarine commander Rear Admiral Yury Beketov. Instruments malfunctioned with no apparent reason or detected strong interference. The former navy officer says this could be deliberate disruption by UFOs.

POPSObama: UNCLOS United Nations Law of the Sea Treaty
Senate Democrats may not listen to conservative objections to the pact, but they should pay some attention to the views of people like Newton B. Jones of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers. "As recently as 1987," he points out, "the Navy had 594 ships. At that time, we were not at war. Since then, despite growing threats from around the globe-the Middle East, Korea, China-we have built an average of only six ships a year, while decommissioning 20. The Navy's fleet is now only 281 ships, less than half its size in 1987." He goes on to note that "...numerous reports recommend a fleet of 55-75 submarines, but the Navy is building only one a year. Our submarine fleet has shrunk from 100 in 1990 to 53 today. The American Shipbuilding Association estimates that at current rates, China will have twice as many submarines as the United States in only five years." Not coincidentally, Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor, wrote the foreword for the book,

POPSBrain Researchers Open Door to Editing Memory "Artists and writers have led the exploration of identity, consciousness and memory for centuries. Yet even as scientists sent men to the moon and spacecraft to Saturn and submarines to the ocean floor, the instrument responsible for such feats, the human mind, remained almost entirely dark, a vast and mostly uncharted universe as mysterious as the New World was to explorers of the past." "Yet as scientists begin to climb out of the dark foothills and into the dim light, they are now poised to alter the understanding of human nature in ways artists and writers have not." I think that the image that the human holds of what it is to be a human compels us to pursue the paths of improvement and augmentation. Not doing so is unethical in regards to how one perceives himself and her fellow humans.

POPSUS NAVY Northwest Training Range Expansion The Navy hasn't done a very good job of cleaning up the other toxic superfund sites they have left behind, and now they want more? http://www.theislandofalameda.com/2009/03/cleanup-crews-find-surprises-at-point/ http://yosemite.epa.gov/r9/sfund/r9sfdocw.nsf/ViewByEPAID/CA2890012584?OpenDocument Estimated Number of Potentially Contaminated Sites: Department of Defense = 21,400, Department of the Interior= 26,000 , Department of Energy also has at least 10,000 sites with hazardous and radioactive wastes. Guess who foots the bill to clean up? Doesn't tally the amount of lives that have been affected/lost by exposure. http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/docum ents/puzzle.htm
