POPSUproar As Top Police Cleared of Attack on Genoa G8 Protesters At least 150 police officers stormed the Armando Diaz school on the night of July 21 2001, after three days of violence in Genoa that left more than 200 people injured and a protester dead. Police chiefs later claimed the school was occupied by the violently disruptive Black Bloc faction. If that is what rank-and-file officers were told, it may explain the viciousness with which they laid into the protesters. Briton Nicola Doherty was hit so hard on an arm with which she was shielding her face that her wrist was broken.

He suffered eight broken ribs, a punctured lung and 10 missing or broken teeth.

POPSNovelist-Screenwriter Michael Crichton, Dies At 66 Crichton would visit that theme again with his triumphant Jurassic Park -- the story of a billionaire entrepreneur who tries to thwart nature and evolution by creating a theme park of genetically engineered dinosaurs. Again, the villain was of our own creation and just doing what nature dictated. In addition to being a prolific novelist, Crichton was an accomplished screenwriter (Extreme Close-Up, Twister) and director (Coma) -- the latter also a scientific cautionary tale by a British MD turned writer, Robin Cooke. He believed that there was a phenomenon he called "consensus science" that invented or exaggerated the existence or effects of such things as global warming and second-hand smoke. No less a believer than Al Gore dismissed Crichton, and presumably his 2004 novel State of Fear, by telling a U.S. House committee: "The planet has a fever. If your baby has a fever, you go to the doctor....

POPSA Hero's Homecoming: SOCOM's Black Dagger Jumpers Brought The House Keys The house was built by Operation Coming Home, a group of military veterans who are now real estate agents and home builders. All the material and labor were donated. The mission of "Operation Coming Home" is to provide injured war veterans with free houses that they call "Hero Homes." Bozik was the first recipient. The home was built with special features to make Bozik's life easier, including radiant heat floors, easy-access cabinets, a sprinkler system and appliances with special hinges and levers that make opening doors easier. Bozik and his pregnant wife were moving in Monday, because Oct. 27 is his "Alive Day" – the anniversary of the day he came out of coma from his injuries. It happened here, and with your help, it will happen again. Update:One of Joey and Jayme's biggest supporters is miblogger Blackfive, who has an extensive trove of articles about what they gone through to get to where they are today.

POPSRelatives of illegal immigrant seek review of his death The underlying dispute over Pantaleon's care at UIC touches on two hot-button issues: Immigration and health care. With the exception of pregnant women, some children and people in medical emergencies, illegal immigrants generally have no right to health care in the U.S. But access to long-term care—the kind of services Pantaleon appeared to need—is not guaranteed even if the patients are U.S. citizens, with the exception of the very poor. = translation - sue the gringos....for violating his rights of being an illegal alien.

POPSJohann Hari: Science is thrilling – except in our schools At Primary School level, often teachers teach little science as this is often hands on, and they keep the messy lesson for art. Also, some teachers at this level just are not science people, forcing themselves to be proficient at maths in stead. I pushed early on for teachers to move from class to class teaching from their area of expertise. Attitudes became more positive.
