POPSEvery time the little bear cub moved, I heard her cry with pain Trembling at the prospect of each blow from the stick, each rough pull of the rope, she is forced to wander the dusty roads, standing and swaying on her hind legs on command. She tires easily from her poor diet, pants with thirst in the oppressive heat, shakes with fear and exhaustion. Yet this bear cub dare not stop dancing, and she must do so again and again. This story is typical of the plight of many bear cubs in India. Sadder still, over 50% of these beautiful little creatures do not even survive the journey to 'market'. They simply die in cages en route, from starvation, dehydration and trauma. That's why these bears desperately need your support. WSPA is working with the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) to stop this barbaric practice. Our aim is to halt it at the source, and your help is vital in helping us stop this cruelty.

POPSExcuses wearing thin for Obama, media pals He lost me completely when his Administration declared we were in an economic crisis then he & the Congress proceeded to sink us even deeper with irresponsible spending. The spending is in such huge amounts that there is no accountability or oversight. It's going down a black hole and our Country is going with it.

POPSChina Smack Netizens Like Hummer Deal? Not So Much! Somewhere I found an art series on the "Bummer" but can't remember where now. Hummer has always been a strange deal. Every time I see one I laugh. It may be appropriate that a wannabe-famous Chinese firm bought the wannabe-taken-seriously-brand. Main reason for posting this is to introduce folks to China Smack, a strange and interesting look into the Chinese tech and monied class. A strange and bizarre mix of topics with comments by netizens after each story. Sort of like putting the National Enquirer, Fox News, CNN and NPR together in one place.

POPSMere Sound and Fury Until Harry and Nancy Do Their Thing in The Dark
Half of it will come from massive cuts in Medicare Advantage, while the other half will be generated by new taxes on high-end insurance, higher income taxes, and new levies on drugs and innovative medical devices. We will address these additional yellow flags on this page on Tuesday in Part 2. There is another reason why the CBO's preliminary analysis should be taken with a grain of salt, though this one wasn't mentioned in the report. Whatever the content of the Baucus bill once it is voted out of the finance committee, it will disappear into a legislative black hole as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and their key aides do what they did on the economic stimulus package back in February -- huddle together behind closed doors to write the final bill, which will then be presented as a fait accompli in the form of a conference report. Everything else is mere sound and fury signifying nothing until Harry and Nancy do their thing in the dark.

POPSVom Aussterben bedrohte Wörter What's this all about? Click here for an English explanation. Do words go to vocabulary heaven when they die? A Berlin author is out to find the most beautiful "endangered" word in the German language -- and to save other dying words from a morbid fate. New words enter the German language every day. Many of them are borrowed from English, like "Blockbuster" and "Brunch." Others -- like "cool" and its more German-sounding equivalent "geil" -- belong to an ever changing youth culture. Omissions are just as common as additions. Some words simply fall into the black hole of disuse. Some are forgotten because they no longer apply to modern life. Still others are eventually rejected for sounding old-fashioned or out-of-date.
