POPS'Snowmageddon' sparks states of emergency Three U.S. states declared a state of emergency after a near-record breaking snow storm jokingly dubbed "Snowmageddon" unleashed its wrath in and around Washington D.C. Saturday. The governors of Maryland, Virginia and Delaware declared emergencies as people dug out from underneath the snow which knocked down power lines, collapsed roofs, and is being blamed for hundreds of road crashes. About 400 National Guard troops went to West Virginia to help shovel snow. Some suburbs of the U.S. capital were pummelled with almost a metre of snow. Forecaster Paul Kocin of the U.S. National Weather Service told CTV News Channel that some suburbs north of Washington were buried under 95 centimetres of heavy, wet snow.

POPSUrban farming buzz feeds more egos than hungry people You don't have to do the numbers to realize that no amount of urban gardens, today, can green America or feed people in need of good food. It can make people feel good and take attention away from: working to grow the economy so people in need of food have better paying jobs and improving city living enough to encourage people to live there instead of the suburbs - thus reducing the number of people who have to drive to do anything. And by the way, the suburbs, for the most part, used to be America's truck garden and ready source of good, cheap and fresh food instead of a place to grow sprawl and all the waste that goes with it. That said - go ahead and plant a garden for yourself, it's good exercise and the food is good but you can't feed the world with it.

POPSThe Suburbanization of Poverty: Trends in Metropolitan America, 2000 to 2008 Poverty must be even harder in suburbia, than the inner city, because of the isolation and lack of community (even if it as counter community). Still, veg gardening and creating new productive woodland are excellent community building activities. That lawn you can't afford to mow any more is a suburbanite's principal asset.

POPSSewage as a Measure of Society's Drug Use The Oregon study is not the first to test wastewater for drugs, but it's the first to use the methodology to spatially map drug prevalence. And its most exciting result is likely that it shows just how geographically widespread drug use is. Researchers studied wastewater samples from 96 municipal water treatment facilities throughout Oregon. These represented one-day snapshots of 65 percent of the state's population's sewage. The results show that drugs are found in all sorts of communities -- everywhere from small, rural towns to suburbs and inner cities.

POPS Indian Paper's KKK Cartoon Condemned By Australia The Sydney Morning Herald recently devoted an article to the subject: In the 12 months to June 2007, 1082 attacks on Indians in Victoria were reported to police - an assault rate of 1700 in every 100,000. Victorian Indians are 2 and a half times more likely than non-Indians to be beaten up or knifed. Why? Furious disagreement prevails. The most contentious theory, the one that has caused such damage to Australian-Indian relations, is that Indian students are targeted by Romper Stomper-style teenage thugs, skinheads looking to reassert control over suburbs newly populated by Sikhs and Hindus; an atavistic and violent response by racists sick of Indians working in every cab, service station and every pub they frequent.

POPSGet Yer Merry On! Based on the latest warmal Algorithm, this month’s holiday lightup is probably going to cost us at least 1,500 polar bears! Speaking of which, anyone know what the lighting bill is at the newly green White House this year? “I’ve been doing it for six years,” said 26-year-old D.J. Damato, who each year trims his family home on 9 Butternut Road with more than 30,000 lights. “Little kids love it, and that’s kind of what keeps me going,” he said. Little kids love it? For Gaia’s sake! Frank Armata, a 30-year resident, began stringing his display when the neighborhood was still relatively dark. “I was the first on my street to set up the lights,” he said of his 25 Preston Road home. “Now, there’s competition … ” Can’t we all just get along? Not far away on 38 Bartlett St., there’s another amazing show. “I love lights,” said Felix Barcelos, 84, who has been decorating his house for three decades. BostonHerald http://bit.ly/4RWf

POPSFood Stamp Use on the Rise in the US as Poverty Increases and Stigma Fades
With most of his co-workers laid off, Greg Dawson, a third-generation electrician in rural Martinsville, considers himself lucky to still have a job. He works the night shift for a contracting firm, installing freezer lights in a chain of grocery stores. But when his overtime income vanished and his expenses went up, Mr. Dawson started skimping on meals to feed his wife and five children. He tried to fill up on cereal and eggs. He ate a lot of Spam. Then he went to work with a grumbling stomach to shine lights on food he could not afford. When an outreach worker appeared at his son’s Head Start program, Mr. Dawson gave in. “It’s embarrassing,” said Mr. Dawson, 29, a taciturn man with a wispy goatee who is so uneasy about the monthly benefit of $300 that he has not told his parents. “I always thought it was people trying to milk the system. But we just felt like we really needed the help right now.” - more @ clip source

POPSCapitalism again proves to the the source of the problem
This article is a must-read. The unfair capitalist healthcare system causes a glut on doctors in rich areas where they can earn more, and a sparsity in areas where they would earn less, like poor communities. Do people still think that America can get by without reforming Healthcare? Doctor's salaries need to be standardized, so a doctor working in a dirt-poor area of Arkansas is going make the same amount (by scale of skill) as a doctor in Malibu, California. 50 million uninsured Americans, and another 50 million underinsured Americans are too many people to be excluded from proper, complete healthcare. It's criminal, and amoral. C'mon, all you right-wingers! Don't you think that women and newborn children dying from perfectly preventable causes during childbirth is more important that wondering if federal money is going to perform abortions? Don't you think that people ending up losing limbs or eyesight due to lack of care for their diabetes is more important than getting all work

POPSHistory of Meralco Trivia and history of the Meralco Company. The Manila Electric Railroad and Light Company was incorporated in the state of new jersey. The incorporation followed Ordinance No. 44 of the Municipal Board of Manila, which was passed on March 24, 1903, granting Detroit entrepreneur Charles M. Swift a franchise "to operate an electric street railway service and to furnish electric current for light, heat, and power in the city and its suburbs. In 1919, Meralco and its affiliate operating the Pasig line of the street railway network reorganized and merged into a single new entity, this time incorporated in the Philippines under the name Manila Electric Company, the official corporate name it bears today.
