POPSA Cardiac Arrest And A Better Doctor "When I first encountered Mrs. Cheever, she was near death, unconscious, gray skin, gray hair, gray eyes. I had considered it cruel to be resuscitating this 89-year-old. Seeing her now, conversing and alert, with hopes for the future, was a lesson more powerful than any I could ever have found in a book or lecture. From that point on, I no longer considered a patient's age as a determinant of the care they should receive. Instead, my newly acquired reverence for elderly patients became a steady source of joy and pride that has lasted throughout my career."

POPS A Trifecta Of Gaffes Has Obama Taking Heat
By laughing not with, but at, Obama the mainstream media again demonstrated the type of emotional distance one might almost mistake for journalistic independence. (Conservative pundits have been mocking Obama’s elite iconography for some time.) For patriotic Americans holding traditional value this was a bit of civic blasphemy.The presumptuousness was only outdone by the lack of reverence for existing symbols of the U.S. Obama played the race card - loudly and blatantly. He suggested, with no evidence whatsoever, that Republicans were pointing to his race as a reason to question his fitness for the presidency. That tactic seemed further evidence that his effort to minimize race are over and he now intends to use race as a sword to attack his Republican opponent. It however is a potentially dangerous strategy, certain to turn off some segment of white voters who do not want to be bludgeoned by racial politics. Here Obama has done what weeks of McCain ads and speeches could not

POPSChristo Wicca I believe in the acceptance and respect of all religions. I lean towards The United Church Of Christ but find this concept of a blend of beliefs enlightening. I have reverence for the earth and feel the materials of the earth are placed here by a superior being for us to incorporate into our faith based practices and religious rituals. Freedom to all people to worship as they see fit. Blessed be, God Bless, open your hearts and minds and through Jesus Christ and His many diverse means of worshiping Him! We should celebrate this diversity and the beauty of nature which comes from above!

POPSQuaker Earth Care Witness/religion Along my path orf finding spirituality, I believe in this organization and faith. Again, I am an Eclectic Christian and am not bound to one organized religion. I believe in spirituality, which for me includes The United Church Of Christ, Liberal Quakerism, Orthodox Quakerism, mystisism and earth based reverance that celebrates God's creation. The use of crystals and other pagan / new age methods is not outside my life's journey. Christ abhored strict adherance to the customary Jewish Law. All are now free!

POPSResearcher's Analysis of al Qaeda Images Reveals Surprises Neal Krawetz, a researcher and computer security consultant, gave an interesting presentation today at the BlackHat security conference in Las Vegas about analyzing digital photographs and video images for alterations and enhancements. Error level analysis involves re-saving an image at a known error rate (90%, for example), then subtracting the re-saved image from the original image to see every pixel that changed and the degree to which it changed. The modified versions will indicate a different error level than the original image. Source code for Krawetz's program . Krawetz's BlackHat presentation (PDF) .

POPS'Baby hatch' highlights Japan fears over adoption Confucianism, which spread to Japan from China and Korea more than a thousand years ago, emphasises the importance of a child's relationship with its birth parents and reverence for ancestry When women give birth they must enter the child's name on their family register, a powerful incentive for single women to end a pregnancy or even abandon a newborn rather than risk its being discovered by a potential employer or future husband For much of Japan's history, adoption has therefore remained within the extended family, with childless couples often taking in a nephew or other relative to carry on their family name or business, rather than because the child was in need of care. "Special adoption," of needy non-relatives was not introduced until 1989 and only a few hundred cases are approved each year, compared with three to four thousand in the United Kingdom, which has around half Japan's population.
