POPSTowers of Food Dickson Despommier, a professor of public health at Columbia University, hopes to spread his vision for "vertical farms" -- 30-story towers that could feed thousands of people. He created the concept with his graduate students, and it has since captured the imagination of architects and various city planners. The following images are artistic renderings of what some of these farms of the future might look like.

POPSTaxpayers pay for rep's big-screen TVs FTA: Jackson spokesman Kenneth Edmonds said the TVs were purchased through “established, regular procedure” with MRA funds Jackson had left in his account at the end of the year. “They replaced older, bulkier and more cumbersome sets, making it easier for the staff to monitor local and national news as well as to participate in teleconferences,” he said. Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) bought 17 hard drives and a laptop for his staff. Rep. George Radanovich (R-Calif.) paid $734 for a video camera. Rep. Patrick J. Murphy (D-Pa.) spent $535.76 to repair a letter-folding machine. Last year, Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) treated his colleagues to $1,864.18 worth of barbecue from Red, Hot & Blue and $1,425 of Chinese food from the Meiwah restaurant.

POPSSupermarkets Throwing Away 2 Million Tons Of Food A Year We visited a dozen stores over several nights last week to check what was being thrown away and discovered hundreds of pounds worth of food dumped. At a Sainsbury’s superstore next to the Dome in Greenwich, South East London – the chain’s flagship “environmentally-friendly” shop with its own wind turbines – staff said it was standard practice to throw away food before its sell-by date. And they’re not even allowed to take it home. One said: “Someone just stands there and throws it into the skip. We wish we could buy it – but we’re not allowed.” Pointing to meat on the “reduced” shelf, he added: “Come midnight, anything that hasn’t been sold will get taken off the shelf... if it’s out of date it will be logged on the computer, put against our losses, then in the skip.” Four-pint bottles of milk with nine days still to run had been thrown out, along with nine cans of cola with a date stamp of April 2009.
