POPSGas mask Bra, and no thats not a typo. lol. LOL!!, now that's both innovative and practical, but lets hope it stops there, as I don't think the male alternative will be as popular. lol Public Health: Elena N Bodnar, Raphael C Lee, and Sandra Marijan of Chicago, US, for inventing a bra that can be quickly converted into a pair of gas masks -one for the wearer and one to be given to a needy bystander. :lol:

POPSThe Promise and Power of RNA RNA interference, or RNAi, discovered only about 10 years ago, is attracting huge interest for its seeming ability to knock out disease-causing genes. There are already at least six RNAi drugs being tested in people, for illnesses including cancer and an eye disease. And while there are still huge challenges to surmount, that number could easily double in the coming year. “I’ve never found a gene that couldn’t be down-regulated by RNAi,” said Tod Woolf, president of RXi Pharmaceuticals, one of the many companies that have sprung up in the last few years to pursue RNA-based medicines. The two scientists credited with discovering the basic mechanism of RNA interference won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2006, only eight years after publishing their seminal paper. And three scientists credited with discovering the closely related micro-RNA in the 1990s won Lasker Awards for medical research this year.

POPSKrugman wins Bush Dementia Syndrome Award Last paragraph, "Much has been done to tarnish the Nobel brand in recent years, but nothing as much as the politicization of key awards that Alfred Nobel funded more than 100 years ago. Should we just strip his name from the honor and call it what it's become: the Bush Dementia Syndrome award?"

POPSNobel Peace Prize Misused And if they give it to a gasbag like Algore and the "Never Met A Palestinian Terrorist I Didn't Love" Carter - then we know they are not following Nobel's wishes.

POPSNOBEL HYPOCRICY ALFRED NOBEL REMADE HIS IMAGE, NOW HIS AWARD IS USED TO POLISH THE IMAGE OF MANY OTHER HYPOCRITS. POLITICS IS A RACKET. WAR IS A RACKET. THE UN DOES NOTHING TO BRING GLOBAL PEACE. EVERY ALPHABET AGENCY IS A FRONT & THEIR REAL PURPOSE IS THE OPPOSITE THAT THEY PUBLICALLY PROCLAIM. AND SO IT GO'S... Reminds me so much of the recent 'cultural diversity award' given to tyrant in Kazakstan. And what was his 'achievement'??? Boiling a human beings to death. The photo of the body i saw still haunts me. Burned up to his chest. Psyhopaths give each other awards. Pat each other on the back. Bush tells Brownie he's doing a great job in Katrina. What are their awards and accolades... but just more lies. Only the blind could not see through the lies and hypocricy. Least we could do is hold the mirror up to the hypocrits faces, and make certain they know we are not buying the cheap illusions. True nobility or virtue rarely takes place in elite circles. Power corrupts absolutely.

POPSA Prize For Mr. Gore And Science "There will also be those who complain that this prize — like the committee’s earlier awards to Jimmy Carter and the chief United Nations nuclear inspector, Mohamed ElBaradei — is an intentional slap at President Bush. It should be. We only wish that it would finally wake up the president." One a personal note, I've seen clippers whining away because it doesn't fit their own personal political agenda. One could only wish that they would do something else for this planet rather than use it for their own personal greedy ass agenda.

POPSHow To Get On NYTimes.com This photo appeared this morning at the top of the New York Times home page to accompany a story about Al Gore being named co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Remarkably, reader comments were attached immediately below the photo caption. It was the most prominent placement of reader response that I've ever seen on a leading news Web site.

POPSjust loved this...wanted to share with you... How did you do? The point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They're the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
