POPSCost of cutting carbon Interesting data on the cost estimates relating to various means of cutting carbon emissions. However, at the very moment when markets are proven not to be as effective as previously proclaimed, do we still want to rely solely on market mechanisms to quell carbon emissions?

POPS(Equation) Money= Work Over Knowledge Tongue-in-cheek proof yields the following results: #1. The More You Know, the More Work You Do, and # 2. The More You Know, the Less Money You Make. I would have to extrapolate that whoever worked this is overworked and underpaid...

POPSDec 31: Omisoka (Japan) Omisoka To usher in the new year, families clean their homes, eat toshi-koshi buckwheat noodles in the hope that one's life will be stretched out as long as these noodles. As midnight approaches, Buddhist temples around the country begin ringing out the old year, sounding the temple bell 108 times because according to them, human beings have 108 worldly desires which are removed by striking the bell.

POPSElephants ready to party as eBay ban approaches In a statement, Jack Christin, senior regulatory counsel for eBay had this to say: "Due to the unique nature of eBay's global online marketplace and the complexity surrounding the sale of ivory, we decided to ban the sale of ivory on eBay. We appreciate the support from the IFAW in assisting us and we look forward to continuing to work with them on the implementation of the global ban. Like the IFAW, ultimately we feel this is the best way to protect the endangered and protected species from which a significant portion of ivory products are derived."

POPSHoneybees As Plant 'Bodyguards' I always have bees in my little yard and am not troubled by caterpillars. Wasps help. Wish they worked with slugs. I'm sick of drunk slugs. They are supposed to drown in the beer, not party.

POPSRethinking science and religion "But at the same time, we have uncovered profound mysteries - dark matter and dark energy, for example, 95 percent (!) of the cosmic order but of unknown character - and these awaken a tangible sense of humility: We do not know it all. Today, religious people have cause to rejoice. The god of the gaps may be dead, but spiritual life is reinvigorated because God is no longer just the perfunctory explanation for mystery. God is the author of wonder." i think that behind science wonder exists, its parallel in religion is bewilderment.

POPS Bailout "It's difficult to do such things outside of reorganization," he said. "But sometimes that can be successfully done." "When you look at the size of this industry and look at all those that it touches in terms of suppliers and dealers ... it would seem to be an imprudent risk to take," he said. The National Automobile Dealers Association also spoke out against bankruptcy "in any way shape or form, orderly or disorderly, prepackaged or unpackaged, managed or unmanaged," said spokesman Bailey Wood. The White House has repeatedly emphasized its opposition to "disorderly bankruptcy" -- presumably filing under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy act that would effectively shut down a company and require sale of its assets. That has left the possibility of one or more of the automakers filing under the act's Chapter 11, which allows a firm to operate while it reorganizes under a court's supervision. "A disorderly bankruptcy of these companies is just not acceptable".

POPSGermans destroy the myth of Superman Brown When Gordon Brown told the Commons that he led the world into recovery, he was not telling the truth. Germany believes, as I do and many others, that one of the perpetrators of the oncoming disaster cannot also be the saviour. When I listened to Esther Rancid eulogising over hero Brown, all my misogyny kicked back in.

POPSNew, improved bartenders can be quite old-fashioned: 8 bartending philosophies They give a couple of shouts-out to the Bay Area: Daniel Hyatt at the Alembic Bar in San Francisco…The movement is at its fullest flower on the West Coast, with its 12-month growing season… At Cyrus in Healdsburg, Calif., Scott Beattie’s Meyer Beautiful incorporates Charbay Meyer lemon vodka.… Martin Cate’s Forbidden Island in Alameda, Calif., offers a Don the Beachcomber formula called the Nui Nui, with fresh citrus, pimento liqueur, cinnamon and vanilla syrups, and aged Barbados rum. I live less than four miles from Forbidden Island – less than three, as the crow flies (or goose swims). How is it that I've never tried a Nui Nui? It sounds tasty!

POPSConflict of Interest? We often see stories about the Texas education system. Usually they have to do with the choice of biology textbook and the perceived conflict with religion. I see no reason why this woman should be on a Texas board of education. Clearly she approaches her job with an agenda that is contrary to the secular education of our children.
