POPSA 'Fire Sale' for the Oil And Gas Industryby
Wisco Yesterday 2:09 PM "We find it shocking and disturbing," said Cordell Roy, the chief Park Service administrator in Utah. "They added 51,000 acres of tracts near Arches, Dinosaur and Canyonlands without telling us about it. That's 40 tracts within four miles of these parks." It's like Bush actually hates the environment.

POPSHow DID Obama get Change.gov set up so quickly, huh? I've seen a lot of people asking (in tones ranging from concerned to accusing to borderline paranoid) how Obama got Change.gov set up so quickly. I mean, how DID a .gov domain get given to someone non-governmental, huh? Kinda suspicious, don't you think? As a matter of fact, no, I don't think it's suspicious. Change.gov was set up by the General Services Administration as part of their charge to facilitate the transition from the outgoing President to the incoming President-elect. Furthermore, In addition, GSA provides a full suite of services to the outgoing President and former Vice-President as they transition from office. These responsibilities include… (click through to the original for the rest)

POPSFrantic hunt for Haiti survivors I reckon a believer in reincarnation on Haiti would think it was all good from thence. I have never read about anything good happening there. I hope I'm very wrong.

POPSMcCain advisor can't name 1 instance of voting fraud More: Michaelson, who served for 27 years as executive director of the Illinois Board of Elections, said the sharp exchanges over registration fraud have undermined voters’ confidence in the electoral system. “The fact that so many of these illegal registrations are being made public raises a perception in the minds of people,’’ he said. “That’s more of a general concern. You don’t want to perpetuate the idea that our election process is lacking integrity.” Asked whether his own party was responsible for fostering that perception, Michaelson said, “Well, it doesn’t help. It has captured the attention of a lot of people.” Why do it, then? “Maybe it’s because there’s nothing else to talk about,” he said.

POPSTwitter your lesson plans If I were a curriculum person in an administration, the first thing I would do would be to set up accounts for each teacher to post one daily update. It would give me insight on my school and encourage my teachers to keep a running record of what was accomplished (as opposed to the lesson plan, which usually is not accomplished).

POPSNo Friend To Small Business! (Hey Joe!)
At the same time that President Bush backed the $700 billion dollar Wall Street bailout, he continued to dismantle existing federal programs designed to assist American small businesses. During his two terms, President Bush has systematically dismantled each and every program established under the Small Business Act to assist American small businesses, especially those firms owned by women, minorities and veterans. President Bush's anti-small business policies began during his first week as president. The first thing he did to dismantle America's small business programs was to remove the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) from the President's Cabinet. Then he began to cut the SBA's budget and staffing more than any other federal agency. Since 2003, over a dozen federal investigations have been released, which have all found rampant and government-wide fraud, abuse, loopholes and a blatant lack of proper oversight in federal small business contracting program.

POPSMegabucks of tax money for Bush admin portraits Rumsfeld's was $46,790. Gutierrez, $35,000. $25K, former NASA admin; $29,500 for EPA head. And yes, Dems have done it, too. How many people's total annual tax payment did it take to pay for Don Rumsfeld's painting?

POPSIndia launches first unmanned moon mission In the last year, Asian nations have taken the lead in moon exploration. In October 2007, Japan sent up the Kaguya spacecraft. A month later, China's Chang'e-1 entered lunar orbit. Those missions took high-resolution pictures of the moon, but are not as comprehensive as Chandrayaan-1 will be or NASA's half-a-billion-dollar Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter scheduled to be launched next year, Pace said. The most comprehensive maps of the moon were made about 40 years ago during the Apollo era, he said.

POPSE.P.A. - Ethanol Promotion Agency About 320 million tons of biomass would need to be produced and transported in order to replace 10 percent of the U.S. yearly oil consumption with ethanol. That is enough material to fill 21.44 million semi-trailers. Stacked end-to-end these trailers would stretch from Florida's Cape Canaveral to the moon's Sea of Tranquility.

POPSHawaii Drops Universal Health Care Plan A preview of our coming healthcare future? Of course. Why in the world have your kids on your company's health care when its "free" through the government. And you will be paying for it whether your kids are in it or not. Any rational being would drop their private health insurance like a shot.

POPSFederal Court: Ohio Must Check Voter Registrations Ohio Republican Chairman Bob Bennett accused Brunner of pursuing a partisan agenda and said "her delay in providing this matching system leaves little time for election officials to act on questionable registrations." Bennett said Brunner was destroying the public's trust in Ohio's elections system. "Her shameful actions to disenfranchise Republican absentee voters, block the transparency of early voting and refuse the proper verification of newly registered voters have rightfully damaged her credibility as a nonpartisan election administrator," he said.

POPSBluehost : Does anyone else find this outage odd ? I’m a systems administrator and tier 3 support rep by trade. I’ve worked in larger data centers with dozens of blades per rack, network attached storage and/or storge frames (EMC, HP), climate controlled environments, all monitored by a NoC (Network Operations Center) 24/7.
