POPSSarkozy Views Obama Stance On Iran As 'Utterly Immature' French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's positions on Iran, according to reports that have reached Israel's government. But Sarkozy's pessimism does not stem only from Obama's stance; it also stems from the overall behavior of the international community toward Iran's nuclear program, and particularly its inability to agree on a fourth round of Security Council sanctions against the Islamic Republic. This foot-dragging will make it impossible to effect a change in Iran's nuclear policy, Sarkozy believes.

POPSGore Less Welcome When Gas Costs 4 Bucks Some lawmakers warn that Americans are angry about gas prices and don’t necessarily want to be reminded about the economic sacrifices that may be necessary to reduce the nation’s oil consumption. “People’s anger about a lot of things is crystallized as a result of the gas prices,” said Lautenberg. “The anger is focused by the visibility at the pump.” Lautenberg warned that Americans aren’t eager to hear about the need for more financial sacrifices if there’s not a possible reward in the not-too-distant future. “If it looks like it’s just a continuation of an attack of our economy and family budgets, then its starts getting dispiriting,” he said of innovative yet expensive energy proposals.

POPSNewly described 'dragon' protein could be key to bird flu cure This unexpected relationship between the two subunits could inspire a number of different therapies or vaccines for H5N1 that rely on muzzling the "dragon's" jaws with another molecule or chemical compound that would block the PB1 subunit's access to the PA site, according to Joachimiak. "If we can put a bit in the dragon's mouth, we can slow or even potentially someday stop the spread of avian flu," he said. "Since we are talking about a relatively small protein surface area, finding a way to inhibit RNA replication in H5N1 seems very feasible."

POPSVienna-Based Investigators Getting Tough On Iran Now Why the emphasis now on sins Iran may have committed in the past? Wasn’t the finding that warhead design stopped in 2003 reassuring enough? No, say nuclear experts inside and outside the international agency. Candor about Iran’s progress in designing a weapon matters because Tehran’s scientists continue to move forward on a related front. They are learning how to make uranium fuel. And if they already have a good warhead design in hand, the lack of fuel may be the one thing standing between them and the ability to make a bomb. The American finding last December that Iran suspended its weapon-design work in 2003 created a classic case of a glass that could be seen as either half full or half empty. That does not mean they have a workable design for the most frightening kind of bomb in today’s world — one miniaturized to about one ton so it can sit atop a missile, which is much faster and harder to stop than any plane

POPSLargest Diamond in the Universe Largest diamond in the universe December 26, 2007 Greg diamond.jpgAstronomers discovered the largest diamond of all times in space. The weight of the precious stone reportedly makes up ten billion trillion trillion carats or five million trillion trillion pounds). The space diamond is virtually an enormous chunk of crystallized carbon, 4,000 kilometers in diameter. The stone is located at a distance of 50 light years from Earth, in the Constellation Centaurus. Scientists believe that the diamond is the heart of an extinct star that used to shine like the Sun. Astronomers have already dubbed the space diamond as Lucy in a tribute to the Beatles song ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.’ Read more here. * *

POPSPhilippe Starck: Why design? Legendary designer Philippe Starck -- with no pretty slides behind him -- spends 18 minutes reaching for the very roots of the question "Why design?" Along the way he drops brilliant insights into the human condition; listen carefully for one perfectly crystallized mantra for all of us, genius or not. Yet all this deep thought, he cheerfully admits, is to aid in the design of a better toothbrush

POPSSoy Chocolate Caramels
37cal,1g fat,2mg cholesterol,23mg sodium,6.9g carbs,6g sugar,0.7g protein Naturally brewed soy sauce depresses the extra sweetness typical of chocolate syrups and enhances the richness of the cocoa powder. It helps to blend dairy notes and highlights the fruit top notes of the cocoa. result: a deep, nutty, roasted chocolate flavor with a rich color. These low-fat caramels were tasty, but slightly grainy because I used homemade soy milk which has pulp. Or perhaps the granulated sugar crystallized, in which case more honey was needed. Also, soy milk curdles at the slightest introduction of acid, which was in the natural cocoa powder. You may fare better with commercially prepared soy milk, which is smoother and has thickeners. My candy also did not set up, even in the freezer. so cook the candy until it reaches the softball stage–248F. I think these would have tasted better with salt, but if you’re adventurous, add the soy sauce in the end, so you don’t cook out its delicate flavor.

POPSThe New Rush Is For Diamonds In Canada The diamonds lie in ancient magma, called kimberlite pipes, which burst from the earth's core through fissures in the granite 55 million years ago. Surging to the surface, a very few of them passed through even more ancient beds of diamonds formed 3 billion years ago, carrying the crystallized carbon stones to the surface. Most of the diamonds produced here will be sent to London and then Belgium, the heart of the diamond trade. Some will be returned to three Yellowknife firms that cut and polish the rough stones into gems, and use lasers to engrave on them an emblem of Canadian authenticity. The mines will probably last only about 20 years. But with the optimism of a miner, Diavik's Hoefer notes that Canada has hundreds of kimberlite pipes that have not yet been fully explored.
