POPSDo Dolphins Have a Sense of the Future? I had a wonderful experience with a mated pair of Hawaiian Bottlenose dolphins...When I was on a longliner Tuna boat we would stop for lunch at the end of the flagline and one day a male dolphin stuck his nose on the gunwale edge and squawked loudly and then swam a sort distance back down the line...then back and repeated the message...we ran down the line until we found his mate, who had tried to steal our bait (Look, honey, free breakfast!) and got hooked on her lip! rather than tear her lip she sent Hubby to us for the rescue! I swear she sat her cute little nose on the gunwale and patiently waited while I removed the hook...thanked us with a flip and some clicxkin, squeeling and swam off! Amazing! This was my first falling in love with Dolphins and Whales came later.

POPS"We ate (human) flesh to survive" continues: Famished and dehydrated They tried to sustain themselves on rain and seawater as they bobbed for days on the open waters, far off their original course. Famished and dehydrated, the survivors watched migrant after migrant die, each time dutifully waiting 15 to 20 minutes before throwing the body overboard. Eating those who perished was not an idea that came easily, the recuperating fisherman said. "But imagine, 15 days without food, without water. I'm a sailor, a fisherman — they were all yelling at me to do something," he said. "I always try to be prepared, so I had brought my knife along," he said. "We hadn't brought food because it was supposed to be a quick trip. We had nothing to eat. We had to eat him, to save our own lives." Maria Marizan and other migrants from the Dominican Republic know just how dangerous it can be to make the 160-mile journey across the Mona Passage to the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.

POPSBrokaw & Rose: Who Is Obama? And yet, they will vote for him, carry water for him and bow down at his altar. Really, really sad. There are far too many Americans who are in the same boat as our prestigious anchors. Barack just waves his hand and the Jedi mind trick does the rest..

POPS1.7 million displaced return to southern Sudan based on interviews with 875,000 internally displaced people during their return journey, 75 per cent used buses or trucks to get home, 17 per cent walked, five per cent travelled by boat and three per cent travelled by plane. Detailed information about those seeking to re-establish themselves in the region should help aid workers and government authorities plan assistance programmes, covering food, shelter, health care and other vital needs, according to the IOM. “Tracking spontaneous returns, particularly at the village level, provides important information on the reintegration needs of vulnerable individuals and families,” its Sudan mission chief, Mario Tavolaj, said in a statement. “It also represents an important tool for planning medium to long-term recovery in southern Sudan.”

POPSParade draws fire for dropping 'Christmas' Well, that's a switch. Nobody will really care but I appreciate their stand. Less spending during the "Holiday Season" will be blamed on the economic slowdown, but frankly, Christians (and a lot of other people) are weary of spending $$ during a ratcheted up "Holiday" while rejecting the spirit and Reason for the celebration. I know for our family, the money spent has gotten way out of hand and the secularists fight against "Christ"mas has helped us get our priorities back in line.
