POPSHamdan Gulty. Guilty as Sin. The small fry is guilty. Now let's try the masterminds. Thanks to the hapless democrats, we can't frog march these monsters out and shoot them. No, thanks to liberals, these mass murderers have all the rights afforded American citizens. Lunacy.

POPSWorld's smallest snake found "Found it 'lurking' under a rock" Can something that big lurk? It beats the next smallest, from Martinique by 5mm (5%) It mightn't seem like much difference to us, but it means a lot to the snake. The snake that was once the smallest in the world, is now just a small snake...still, living in Martinique should make up for the disappointment.

POPSHuman-frog hybrids reveal autism's secrets To see if abnormalities in neurotransmitter signalling also underlie autism, Miledi's team collected brain samples from six deceased autistic patients, aged eight to 39. They fused brain-cell membranes, which house neurotransmitter receptors, together with Xenopus egg membranes. As a control, they did the same thing with brain cells from patients with no history of mental disorder. Miledi's team then doused the frog eggs in neurotransmitter chemicals, and measured the voltage generated within each egg. The neurotransmitter chemicals tell brain cells to pump charged molecules in and out the membrane, creating a voltage across the membrane. Since Xenopus eggs do not respond to the neurotransmitters, the human proteins are completely responsible for any electric current generated. Four of six autistic brains responded to neurotransmitters chemicals less vigorously than the controls.

POPSYOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK The wisdom of this story: * Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic. They take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in your heart! * Always think of the power words have. Everything you hear and read will affect your actions! * BE POSITIVE! And above all, be DEAF when people tell you that you cannot fulfill your dreams! Always think: I can do this!
