POPS Obama's "Con" Job Gee, all those Palestinian terror attacks? Rockets, mortars, suicide bombers? Never mind those. Provisions must also be robust enough to prevent a resurgence of terrorism, to stop the infiltration of weapons, and to provide effective border security. Barack Obama, border security expert and hawk. Oh, that's rich. The full and phased withdrawal of Israeli military forces should be coordinated with the assumption of Palestinian security responsibility in a sovereign, non-militarized state. Gosh, why hasn't that been tried before? It's so simple, so obvious. Oh, that's right. It was. In Gaza. And we all know how well that worked out. Boiled down, it's the same old same old crap we hear from the anti-Israel side. A healthy dose of moral equivalence between the Israelis an Palestinians, followed by insistence that both sides much make concessions. The Israelis must give up land and ease security restrictions and, in general . . .

POPSRare Colour Photographs In The Bleak Light of The Depression It was an era that defined a generation. The Great Depression marked the bitter and abrupt end to the post-World War 1 bubble that left America giddy with promise in the 1920s. Near the end of the 1930s the country was beginning to recover from the crash, but many in small towns and rural areas were still poverty-stricken. These rare photographs are some of the few documenting those iconic years in colour. The photographs and captions are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color. The images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, shed a bleak new light on a world now gone with the wind.

POPS12-Year-Old Boy Genius Sets Out to Disprove Big Bang
Young Jacob‘s journey to genius hasn’t been a fairy tale. He didn’t speak until he was two, and he’s been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, a mild form of autism. His mother, Kristine, told the Star he has trouble sleeping because he constantly sees numbers in his head. “A lot keeps me awake,” Jake said. “I scare people.” But he also has so much promise, and that excites many more. “In one two-week period, he sat on our front porch and learned all of his high school math,” Kristine told the Star. “He tested out of algebra 1 and 2, geometry, trigonometry and calculus.” At eight, Jacob enrolled at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and was taking advanced astrophysics classes. According to one of his professors there, he‘s the most brilliant student he’s seen. Wonder what he has to say about the Climate Change and Peak Oil theories. Just imagine having such a set of brains and following politics, really seems like a recipe for madness..

POPSWind: Energy Returned On Energy Invested 0.29 "# Wind power will not replace fossil fired power plants. Germany estimates that by 2020 up to 96% of its wind power capacity will need to be backed up by new coal fired power plants. # Wind power will not reduce US dependency on foreign oil. If wind power replaced 20% of US electric generation, the resulting decrease in oil imports would be a measly 0.292%. # Wind turbines have an embarrassingly low Energy Returned On Energy Invested value of 0.29. The manufacture, installation and operation of wind power facilities will consume more than 3 times the energy they will ever produce."

POPSCan Caffeine Increase or Decrease Weight Gain? Lots of people have the misconception that caffeine intake will help them gradually lose weight. However, the opposite is true. Drinking caffeinated beverages or taking pills which contains caffeine will ultimately stimulate increased craving for any sweets and fatty foods.
