POPSNew Spin Record Set: 1 Million rpm The new motor could be applied for faster drills and more efficient and compact compressors for cars and airplanes. The trend towards increasingly smaller cell phones and other teensy electronic devices means ever smaller holes must be drilled to make them, and that requires higher rotational speeds, the researchers said. "Our findings will rapidly be converted into concrete applications and products," said Johann Kolar, one of the researchers involved in the feat.

POPSInteresting Article Abstract on Poverty Apparently this research finds that consumer prices are higher (2 - 5%) in poor neighborhoods compared to wealthy neighborhoods. The inability of the poor to shop for consumer goods that are less expensive is determined by their lack of access to cars. They are stuck paying higher prices. The benefits of a competitive market are disproportionately denied to the poor.

POPSObama Faces Competition for Health Care Plan The big news in health care policy this morning is that Senator Max Baucus has debuted a new plan that's similar to Obama's in many ways with one major exception: it requires everyone to buy insurance. This will no doubt rankle those on the right who loathe the idea. It'll be interesting to see which other members of Congress roll out plans in the coming weeks and months. To read Baucus' plan, follow this link: http://finance.senate.gov/healthreform2009/finalwhitepaper.pdf

POPS5 questions about pumpkin throwing A trebuchet is similar to a catapult, but there are differences. Can you explain them? A trebuchet is a gravity-driven machine. A catapult is a torsion-driven machine, where they twist ropes. At this year's contest you tossed a pumpkin 1,897 feet, nearly 200 feet farther than the guy in second place. To what do you attribute your success? Brute force. We win just because we're bigger and heavier than the other machines. Our machine is about 65 feet tall and weighs 26 tons.

POPSStart-Up Teaches Math to Americans, Indian-Style
“If you don’t get mathematics to the highest level you possibly can in high school, your career options shrink dramatically in the 21st century,” Mr. Compton said. “Our society basically tells girls they’re not good at math. I was determined that was not going to happen to my daughters.” Mr. Compton and Indian Math Online’s co-founder, Suresh Murthy, hired a team of math teachers and software developers in India to build the site and its curriculum. At first, the site was meant for their daughters, but soon friends started asking if they could use it and word gradually spread. It has lessons for students in grades one through 12 and offers several packages for $12.50 to $20 a month. Two-thirds of the students using it are children of Indian and Chinese immigrants. Mr. Murthy’s children are an example. “He grew up in India, and he worried about his daughters falling behind in the global competition to be educated for the 21st century,” Mr. Compton said. The site’s curriculum is

POPSLeader of the Pack Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment. When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes." This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.

POPSPalin and the fruit fly or just plain ignorance
One might have thought that Sarah Palin would take a more active interest in one aspect of scientific research. Palin's youngest son has Down's syndrome, a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21. Although a geneticist by training, I am certainly no expert on the pathogenesis of this condition, nor the significance of Drosophila research into Down's syndrome. So, I typed "drosophila trisomy 21" into PubMed, the scholarly biomedical equivalent of Google. There were 109 results, the most recent published just the day before Palin's gaffe. The concluding sentence of that study — about the genetic cues that steer nerve fibres around during the growth of the fruit fly — suggests that the paper will "have implications for the pathogenesis of Down's syndrome". These two are drops in the ocean of fruit fly research that have clinical relevance. Down's syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, autism, diabetes, ageing research, cancers of all types
