POPSNorthwest Indiana LakeNET Just found this site today, the blogging links are extremely weak so most of the "5,000+" links are pretty weak old version web 1.0 sites from chamber lists. They do host not for profit websites, mainly due to their funding coming from State grant. My humble opinion is that the board needs some web 2.0 talent, some people that actually engage in social media. The site is pretty but not all that useful yet.

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.

POPSSC Priest, just one more Kook from the Religious Right More evidence that leaders of the RR (Religious Right) are stark raving mad. Anyone who willingly chooses one of these quacks as a spiritual guide through their life, needs to see a REAL HONEST TO GOODNESS guidance counselor... like maybe a psychiatrist! How sad it is to hand over a potentially viable thinking mind to one of these charlatans who will wrap the chains of irrationality and foolishness around the minds of the weak and padlock them so securely that no reality based info can get in or out. What's even more depressing is when an adult can easily hand over their young to be pummeled with shame, guilt and fear for the rest of their lives. Who does this priest think he is anyway to hold part of this religion's ritual, as hostage to get his own delusional way. People should run as far as they can from this kook! I'm with Bill Maher on this one...(Bill Maher on Religion - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IcUumWzue4 )

POPSPriest to deny Communion To Obama Supporters In 2004 I knowingly and willingly committed the grievous sin of voting for John Kerry. And, Lord help me, I'd do it again tomorrow. So I guess I am a sinner again according to this priest, and it makes me mad as hell all over again.

POPSCeltic coin cache found continues: The Eburones "put up strong resistance to Caesar's journeys of conquest," Roymans said. The silver coins were made by tribes further to the north — possible evidence of cooperation against Caesar, he said. Both coin types have triple spirals on the front, a common Celtic symbol. The two other known caches of Eburones coins have been found in neighboring Belgium and Germany. Maastricht city spokeswoman Carla Wetzels said the value of the coins is not known — their worth is primarily historical. The Belgian cache of similar size was estimated at around 175,000 euros, or $220,000. The farmer who owned the land agreed to sell his interest to the city for an undisclosed sum. Curfs, a teacher at a nearby junior college, continues to own the 11 coins he found, but has lent them to the City of Maastricht on a long-term basis. The coins will go on display at the Centre Ceramique museum in Maastricht this weekend.

POPSThe Russians Are Coming The energy resources of Central Asia are also attractive to Russia "Where their energy comes from Central Asia, then I think that you will find that they will be moving to secure that because that is what they are using to fuel their resurgence." "Recently, we see the politics of China also, which does not have a military base but which is gradually and persistently advancing its influence in this region and in many other regions," After the Russia-Georgia conflict in the Caucasus, Russia has found the grounds to expand its presence in Central Asia

POPSPriest: No Communion for Obama Supporters This is one priest who knows evil when he sees it. In all the debates "moderated" by biased liberal newspeople, was there one question on abortion? Nope. Was there one question on gun control? Nope. McCain for the old liberal rope a dope.

POPSLiberty redefined Our democracy requires us to maintain a balance between cooperation with others and self reliance ( between society and individualism). I agree with this letter-writer that we had gone much too far in the direction of narrow self-interest. We had forgotten there was such a thing as altruism.

POPSLogic? Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools. A president lying about an extramarital affair is a impeachable offense, but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery. Supporting "Executive Privilege" for every Republican ever born, who will be born or who might be born( in perpetuity.)

POPSThe return of The Wall? Time will tell, but this certainly does not look like "change" and gives me no "hope". This is just the same ol' same ol'...just older. We've been hearing for the last 8 yrs. about the failed policies of the Bush Administration; well, what about the failed policies of the Clinton one? Does America want them back to pick up where they left off....with HELP? If this is someone's idea of "change" they need to check their dictionaries.

POPSObama's New World Order; "Change" is Required Listen carefully to the words of Obama's symbolic Berlin speech. We know the "war on terrorism" will continue from his debates with McCain, his view of Israel is similar, that the Surveillance State in America will continue to expand (his FISA domestic spying expansion vote), that he will NOT repeal the PATRIOT ACT, Homeland Security, REAL ID, or other anti-constitutional Executive Orders or legislation passed by the Bush-neocon administration. He will make use of the same apparatus for the same "global transformation". "Common security" (for their order ) is still being pled in his speech based upon 9/11. The "new world order" agenda of Social Change (under plea of "common humanity", despite any other distinctions) will be dictated and you will be required to adopt it, like it or not. Listen again. The burdens of global citizenship.....Americans and Europeans will be required to do more; partnership and cooperation is not a choice".

POPSAmericans Overwhelmingly Want GOP to Work w/ Obama Not only do Americans want the GOP to work with Obama as President, but they want the GOP to embrace his progressive views. The poll indicates Americans voted for him because they thought his views were the right ones. The cooperation the Americans want will not happen, of course. Already GOP names are being floated to run against him and right-wing media personalities have begun to attack him.

POPSObama offers Poland no commitment on missile plan Certain "experts in the Defense Dept....". Start building the system; that doesn't preclude the idea of "testing". Of course, if he wants to "redistribute the wealth" around the US AND the World, I can see where he might have a problem....though he doesn't seem to have a problem raising $$$ for things like election and inauguration. However, Europe needs to be doing a lot of the financing.

POPSOSCE 'failed' in Georgia warnings Was it deliberate that the reports were ignored? Who else knew of Saakashvili intent to invade? How much more blood is on Bush's hands? The killing of civilians to achieve ethnic cleansing is so reminiscent of Israel methods in the M-East. Of course the Georgian troops were all trained by IDF officers, so any regard for human life is pointless.

POPSBolivian President Says DEA Killed Farmers According to the US government, Bolivia has joined Myanmar and Venezuela as countries that "failed demonstrably" in anti-drugs cooperation. Morales in September expelled US Ambassador Philip Goldberg from Bolivia, charging him with conspiring to overthrow his government.

POPSChristians Sacrificed To ‘Clean Up’ Obama’s Past
Barack Obama’s presidential campaign as well as making the requisite pilgrimage to Barack Obama’s childhood school. According to our Indonesian sources, “officials” who accompanied Faleomavaega were interested in acquiring any and all documentation or photographs of a young Barry Soetoro for America’s “national archives” and they were offering cash, lots of it. In a show of faith, Barack Obama’s childhood school would be one of the very first beneficiaries of this outpouring receiving thousands of dollars to upgrade the school and for the purchase of computer equipment, thanks in part to the benevolence of this visiting junket. The challenge of course was securing Indonesian goverment records potentially damaging to Barack Obama’s candidacy for the US presidency as well as other records pertaining to a young Barry Soetoro and his family wouldn’t be so easy to acquire and secure, and for this, the visitors would need the assistance and cooperation of the Indonesian government.
