POPSLearning about Forensics Part I Elyse's Site is a good general review of forensics and the application of the science in all it's myriad forms. This part was clipped as a basic primer on the different branches. Part II (Yes, another Multi-part Clip!) will focus on the different applications of the science and some very good links to high-end Forensic sites. The Site owner definitely loves CSI and you will see that if you go there...

POPSPhone Sex Operators “I am a straight male who speaks to women. They want me. They want me to talk to them, and to take them to another world. I’m good at it. I’m a pro. A ladies man. I speak to younger women. I speak to older women. I speak both Spanish and English. I have been thrown offers left and right. They want me to meet up and have my way with them, but I keep it only to phone conversations.” A quote from the male operator some of the stories from the operators were very funny and gross - Hmm..I think my job was not bad after all.......

POPSPhone Sex Operators The descriptions below the pictures were longer and in some cases are interesting reading. There is an interview with the photographer as well.

POPS"Ansestry" where did we come from? On NationalGeografic.com, they have a new technology that assists you in tracing back your ansestry via D.N.A research, that you can do yourself. They have a kit, and it can trace back to the beginnings of your family of orgin. I found this to be of great interest, being an Anthropology major, and I think others would enjoy it too.

POPSSo you think humans are unique? "Take gesture, arguably the starting point for language. Until recently it was considered uniquely human - but not any more. Mike Tomasello of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and others have compiled a list of gestures observed in monkeys, gibbons, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orang-utans, which reveals that gesticulation plays a large role in their communication. Ape gestures can involve touch, vocalising or eye movement, and individuals wait until they have another ape's attention before making visual or auditory gestures. If their gestures go unacknowledged, they will often repeat them or touch the recipient."

POPSPrimitivism Another viewpoint and value system than the current all-will-be well, if only we rush a faster and learn to accept all that is new and shiny. Or at the very least: food for thought.

POPSIndian "Honor" Killing At the risk of sounding like Bones, I understand, anthropologically, why it was forbidden in the past for people of a village to marry, and it even may be a valid action now ( I live in a town of less than 500 people, and trust me, almost everyone is related), but the murder was, I think, wrong. There should be limits to tradition.

POPSUniversal Translator May Be Possible That's a good idea, but what if this alien's perception of the world is different than humans? Even if not entirely alien, one can point at a round red iron object and mean "ball", "red", "iron" or even protons and electrons...
