POPSFDIC Could be as unstable as the banks Everyone needs to take note: the FDIC which insures all the banks that hold our money is very close to failure itself. Slow banks runs are already happening all over the U.S.

POPSMcCain Is Not Cool Like Barack But on the other hand, Uncle Jeremiah and Billy the Bomber are definitely very "fly" Wondering No More Johan Goldberg Pfeiffer said. "It's extraordinary that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn't know how to send an e-mail." The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. In a similar vein I guess it's an outrage that the blind governor of New York David Patterson doesn't know how to drive a car. After all, transportation issues are pretty important. How dare he serve as governor. Some say, So what if he was handicapped? He could still learn how to send email. Sure, but why would he? Bill Clinton sent two emails during his entire presidency and often admitted he didn't know squat about the internet. http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=OTliMTNiZjg5ZDEwZWNiZDYwZWFjN2JlNjNjNjkxZmM=

POPSScientists Develop New Computational Method To Investigate Origin Of Life "Retroelements are an ancient and highly diverse class of proteins; therefore, they provide a rigorous benchmark for us to test our approach. We are happy with the results we derived, even though our method is in an early stage," said Patterson. The team plans to make the algorithms that they used in their method available to others as open-source software that is freely available on the Web. Scientists map out the evolutionary histories of organisms by comparing their genetic and/or protein sequences. Those organisms that are closely related and share a recent common ancestor have greater degrees of similarity among their sequences.

POPSThe big Buzz... It won't, though, be as complete as Google. While Google has had failures in extending its brand (Froogle, Google Base), its collection of services that are affiliated with its mainstream search product, like Google Maps, Image Search, and desktop search, can make switching away from Google difficult for users. Costello realizes that Cuil needs to layer in additional services, but as he said to me, the company has to start somewhere. Upshot: Cuil is certainly worth trying out. try it on: http://www.cuil.com/

POPSCuil: Search engine to ravel Google Launches For one, Cuil has an impressive pedigree with its three founders: Tom Costello of IBM's WebFountain project, plus Anna Patterson and Russell Power of Google's TeraGoogle project, Google's massive search index. Cuil also counts former AltaVista founder Louis Monier -- who later went to eBay and then Google -- as part of the team. These people know search. In particular, they know on-the-firing line, heavy duty, industrial strength search. Not only that, they're unleashing what appears to be a comprehensive service that anyone can use. Indeed, Google already did a blog post in reaction to Cuil and its size claims on Friday, before Cuil even launched or those claims became public. If Google's paying that much attention, then anyone should.

POPSMikheil Saakashvili:"Rose Revolution" Of The Republic Of Georgia
The task of rebuilding a country plagued by two wars with neighboring regions and a limping economy during his first year in office has been anything but easy. Mr. Saakashvili studied law at Kiev University and the International Institute of Human Rights in Strasbourg before earning his LL.M. from the Law School. After a year as an intern for New York City-based Patterson, Belknap, Webb & Tyler, Mr. Saakashvili's superior intellect and energy won him a job offer with the firm. He declined, choosing instead to return to Georgia to take up a political career. By 2000, President Shevardnadze had appointed him justice minister, but the young Columbia graduate resigned two years later in a remonstration of what he perceived to be widespread corruption and cronyism among the Georgian leadership. Mr. Saakashvili was soon mounting daily protests - drawing tens of thousands of discontented supporters - against parliamentary elections marred by fraudulent practices.

POPS U. S. Senator DeMint Is Mad As Hell Protesting the Marines is just a predictable by-product of the massive Bush Derangement Syndrome that exists in this God-Forsaken city. But they took it a step further and not only denounced the US Military but then wholly endorsed and even subsidized Code Pink. Is the city of Berkeley, California complicit in treason? Constitutionally, Code Pink did commit treason. The latest book by Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson (U.S. Air Force-Ret.) is called War Crimes: The Left's Campaign to Destroy Our Military and Lose the War on Terror. In the book, he claims that two anti-war groups -- "United for Peace & Justice" and "CODEPINK: Women for Peace" -- literally gave aid and comfort to terrorists when they delivered $600,000 in cash and supplies they claim was humanitarian aid to civilians.

POPSChicago Police Torture Victims Awarded Millions by the City As a newish Chicagoan, I have paid alot of attention to this case. The whole picture is horrifying: Chicago Police Commander John Burge and his racist merry men tortured perhaps thousands of black men into confessions for crimes they didn't commit. And notice that all of these men were released from DEATH ROW. How many innocent men were executed? Governor Ryan pardoned THIRTEEN men on Death Row in all, and he utimately put a moritorium on the death penalty that exists to this day 5 years later. Aaron Patterson is back in jail (in a trial that captured Chicago media for quite a long time). His story is so sad. And Burge lives in comfortable retirement in Florida on his city pension. City attorneys have decided that Burge cannot be charged with torture, because the statute of limitations has expired. I say hit him with federal civil rights laws. Burge and most of his merry men were white. ALL of the alleged victims were black.

POPSBigfoot caught on Camera He said they do not want to release the exact location in New Mexico, though they believe they can pinpoint it from a town sign that is earlier in the video. Also, an old abandoned shack is seen near "Bigfoot". Both men said they did not see the figure while they were passing by that spot in remote New Mexico. Mr. Lemmon was driving and Mr. McGee had the camcorder dangling out the window. Mr. McGee said his sister noticed the figure when she was looking at what he had shot. She said, "Whoa, what's that?" Mr. Lemmon said afterwards that Mr. McGee, who works restoring old houses for him, called and exclaimed, "We caught Bigfoot." A local technician who transferred the video to a DVD said the figure "could be a horse. But when you see it you think immediately of the famous Patterson video of Bigfoot."
