POPShard choices in colorado deer populations used to be controlled by boom to starvation and bust to food source recovery. now hunters stabilize the deer numbers instead. there are a lot of stupid people who protest hunting because they refuse to understand how brutal the natural environment really is.

POPSCell Phones Show Human Movement Predictable 93% Of The Time This is used in criminal cases as evidence that the defendant's phone was within a certain number of miles from the scene of the crime. For that reason, I would say that it would be good if the technology could track more precisely. But having someone know where you are every second of every day could lead many people to become paranoid.

POPS Dots, Not Connected Well, you don’t get to not go just because you don’t want to. Apparently was disturbed by what he was hearing from the combat-traumatized solders he was counseling. Very sensitive, couldn’t hang with the war wounds. Had poor performance reports and was himself in counseling. Sounds a bit like the psychiatrist, not simply unwilling and ill-suited to the military career he had chosen, might have been morphing into patient, or should have been, as he found himself increasingly conflicted at the intersection of various aspects of his life, which appears to have included a respectable level of stress and some potentially extreme contradictions. Given that he worked at the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress, that part of it starts to sound like a very big dot that shouldn’t have needed that much connecting. Here’s another one, dot-connection in process. Had been the focus of some level of attention by federal agents for at least six months....

POPSKangaroos Shot To Make Way for Car Race!! It seems that our wildlife is held in lower regard than 4 wheels attached to a heap of metal. Shame on our government for allowing National Parks & Wildlife to kill our native animals.

POPS'Stimulus' not working - 473,000 jobs cut from payrolls in June It seems like Obama is really set on destroying the American economy with his cap and trade energy tax, his taking over healthcare, and his “stimulus” spending. In 2012, we’re all going to like super-hate Obama and be like, “Let’s get rid of the bum!” But when we get to voting booths, they’ll be like, “I’m sorry, but the country is completely out of money and we can’t afford any ballots.”

POPSNYC To Gas 2,000 Geese Aww, so sad. Culling is such a drastic thing to do. I wish they could be relocated instead, or something, but maybe they have a homing instinct? I wouldn't know. It's still sad, though. :(

POPSCounterintuitive: Help endangered predators by culling their prey? The lake's temperature and nutrient levels were mostly constant during this time, so why did the trout do better when they prey was culled? Persson believes that it's not the numbers of the char, but their size that matters, and that changed irrevocably when the trout first vanished. Paradoxically, predators like trout, can actually increase the numbers of small prey by eating them. It seems like a strange idea, but it happens because the remaining prey face less competition for food. As a result, they grow more rapidly, mature faster and give rise to more young. By growing too large, the Arctic char muscled the trout out of Lake Takvatn.This means the population becomes, on average, smaller, since individuals spend less time growing and fill the water with baby fish. And that's good news for predators. But take the predator out and the whole system grinds to a halt.

POPSAlmost funny that Germans might get bird flu from Turkeys! Not funny really but when poultry of any kind are raised in an industrial manner,foul play is in the future(sorry for the pun). Flu virus is most easily mutated and passed along when thousands of birds are caged together - the virus is passed via manure, sweat (yes bird sweat) and urine.

POPSHow Can World Of Warcraft Help Train Your Employees? I agree that the skills learned can help in real world situations but as the author said - they can be culled from just about any RPG. When you take a game like WoW which is so demanding and time consuming - if you can get the players to log out for a few hours - they may even get jobs so they can use their new skills.
