POPSHow to Talk to a Global Warming Skeptic (FAQ) More common questions and myths answered at the source, thoroughly cross-referenced and conveniently categorized and sub-categorized by type of argument: Stages of Denial Scientific Topics Types of Argument Levels of Sophistication A nice reference that's updated with fresh comments. Many "skeptics" often are unaware (by choice or by circumstance) that their common questions have already been addressed by scientists long ago.

POPSConcrete that literally eats pollution. If it works, then this could be a big breakthrough indeed. However, it's not like cities are going to start re-paving roads that don't need it, or demoing & rebuilding building, (or even just repainting them with this solution)... The cost would be prohibitive. So that 50% savings (just off of 15% of concrete surfaces) is a LONG way away. Plus, this definitely doesn't curb the need for changing the way we pollute...

POPSGuy rapes a 10 year old, he gets 2 years, serves 10 months. He gave Fenn concurrent two-year and 18-month sentences, but he will be free in eight weeks after serving eight months in prison awaiting sentence. Wright is already free as Judge Hall had already given him a nine-month sentence for inciting the girl to perform a sex act. Dr Michele Elliott, director of Kidscape said the decision had left her "lost for words". She said: "It takes us back to the 1950s when the victim was blamed if they were dressed provocatively. "No one in my opinion could mistake a 10-year-old child, even dressed up, for a 16-year-old. They are just trying very hard to find excuses. "You can never blame a child victim for sexual abuse when excusing the abuser of any kind of abuse." The NSPCC added: "There is no excuse for having sex with a 10-year-old, no matter how she dresses." This guy & his accomplice deserves to be shot. I'm sick and tired of child rapists getting next to nothing for their crimes.

POPSThe Romeo and Juliet Effect: Why Christians Keep Having Sex Before Marriage A pretty interesting article, apparently written by an "evangelical" explaining why teens will continue to have sex before marriage & where society fails in stopping it. Personally, i have no issue with sex before marriage as long as both are consenting and mature enough to understand the ramifications physically, psychologically & socially. The meat of the article is further down, with some pretty interesting figures such as: The flash memory of mobile phones taken from (Saudi Arabian) teenagers showed 69.7% of 1,470 files saved in them were pornographic and 8.6% were related to violence.

POPSIs Sex Necessary? Cool article... like some of the benefits of sex/masturbation: - Improved sense of smell - Reduced risk of heart disease - Weight loss, overall fitness - Reduced depression - Pain-relief - Less-frequent colds and flu - Better bladder control - Better teeth - A happier prostate? PS.. since this is health-based, I didn't feel it needed to be rated

POPSScientists: Bush Muzzled Research No surprise here... I remember a few stories last year about scientists from NASA and other administrations complaining that their papers were being censored.

POPSGraphic: Timeline of the Big Bang An informative graphical timeline of the very creation of time, space, matter, and energy in our universe. Cool! I just clipped the first paragraph of the nicely written description that accompanies it. Of course, cosmology, cosmogony, and quantum physics, and the origins of space-time are some of the hardest fields of study being pursued right now. Any other pointers to clip-size explanations would be welcome additions to Clipmarks.

POPSWho is this artist? Really, Who? I don't know who this artist is. I would really love to know. Does anyone recognise the work? Is this all the same artist? I would love to have a site link so I can compliment the artist in an email. Seriously, I don't know who it is. Please help me out here!

POPSFor Invictus: V Meets The Secret Service Funny, weird, stupid, and crazy. That's one ugly V mask. I wish he used yours, Invictus. Read the rest of the article here and watch the streaming video here (256k cable) and here (56k dial-up) .

POPSNewark School Censors Yearbook Photo of Gay Couple Kissing Stupid homophobic school administrators. Nuff said. If I were the students, I'd refuse the yearbook until it was re-printed, un-edited. Especially if I as the student had to pay for the yearbook. (If I had previously paid for it, I'd take them to court to get my money back.) Fucking unbelievable.

No surprise DARPA is involved ;)

POPSGore and UN Panel win peace prize Good for him and the IPCC. Its getting hard for the deniers to get any leverage when every sane person out there has come to terms with the "Inconvenient Truth" that is climate change.

POPSScientists, American public disagree sharply over global warming I find it absolutely appalling that only 41 percent of American's believe global warming is not an environmental fluctuation... The evident from science is overwhelming.. the vast majority of scientists have been screaming about this for a long time, yet the American public seems to know better? What? All of these scientists are liberal nut-jobs?? *blank stare*

POPSSome Schools Banning Homework At first, I was lie.. "Oh come on!, even I'm not THAT liberal..." but after reading the article.. well, if it i sin elementary school, and they have proven homework does little to help (besides reading at home), then maybe they have something. If the teachers instead focus on building good processes for teaching kids how to learn and studying in class, then maybe... I'm not an early childhood educator though...
