POPSQuick, use that gift card Corporate bankruptcies have even more impact than some consumers expect. Gift cards for retail chains that are on the ropes are the latest casualty. Sharper Image, for example, is in bankruptcy proceedings. Imagine all those holiday gift cards that will never get used.

POPSThe Good Shepherd, 3 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. 12 But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf casteth and scattereth the sheep, 13 And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me. 15 As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep. 16 And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 18 No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself. And I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

POPSHuman beings only have a 50-50 shot of making through the 21st century nanotech pioneer K. Eric Drexler. Drexler describes grey goo in Chapter 11 Engines Of Destruction: "...early assembler-based replicators could beat the most advanced modern organisms. 'Plants' with 'leaves' no more efficient than today's solar cells could out-compete real plants, crowding the biosphere with an inedible foliage. Tough, omnivorous 'bacteria' could out-compete real bacteria: they could spread like blowing pollen, replicate swiftly, and reduce the biosphere to dust in a matter of days. Dangerous replicators could easily be too tough, small, and rapidly spreading to stop - at least if we made no preparation. We have trouble enough controlling viruses and fruit flies."

POPSPredator attacks 11 year old walking home at 1:00 am Ok, I don't know where to start here... For one thing this bastard deserves to be castrated. However, what the fuck was an 11 year old girl doing walking home at 1 AM??? The parents shouldbe charged as accomplices in the crime IMO. It was thier incompitence as parents that let this happen. It makes me want to scream. Its easy enough for these creeps as it is.. you serve your 11 year old on a silver platter? you deserve to be shot. That's just my opinion though.

POPS The "Old Grey Lady" Is Senile According to the NY Times website, Clark Hoyt is the Public Editor and the reader's representative for the paper. Not that it might do much good, but I would be tickled pink if many of the readers and posters here, and especially those in the Empire state, would make their voices heard. Perchance we may get an apology (not holding my breath). He can be found at: public@nytimes.com or (212) 556-7652
