POPSHomeland Security drone patrolling NNY Terminator Salvation anyone? These are near identical to the Hellfire missle carrying Drones used in Afghanistan for intelligence and "Response" . Its not much of a step for them to include weapons and bio-metric scanners in the domestic ones. The really worrying part about this is how the PentaCon and NSA now view citizens who support much of the Bill of Rights as domestic terrorists.

POPSAgriculture Fingered for E. coli contamination Wow. To be living so near a water source and find out the local livestock is the main reason the water of Lake Huron and its beaches are contaminated with E. coli. While the study shows how much contamination is contributed from cows, pigs, sheep, and even humans, it is surprising to see this. I guess one doesn't realize how much the fecal bacteria pollutes our water. And this is water that people swim and play in, drink, and use. Granted, most water goes through treatments, however, the thought that the water you're drinking or playing in has fecal matter in it, is pretty darn gross.

POPSLiquid flowing on surface of Titan Liquid ethane. They say their observations suggest the lake is evaporating due to the existence of a beach where the lake merges with the bright shoreline. I'm sure there are some some big king tides on Titan. There's the big drawcard Saturn but all of those other moons would make drafting a tide chart a nightmare.

POPSThe Milky Way Over Ontario Sometimes, after your eyes adapt to the dark, a spectacular sky appears. Such was the case earlier this month over Ontario, Canada, when part of a spectacular sky also became visible in a reflection off a lake. To start, the brightest objects visible are bright stars and the planet Jupiter, seen as the brightest spot on the upper left. A distant town appears as a diffuse glow over the horizon. More faint still, the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy becomes apparent as a dramatic diffuse band across the sky that seems to crash into the horizon far in the distance. In the foreground, a picturesque landscape includes trees, a lake, and a stone wall. Finally, on this serene night in July when the lake water was unusually clam, reflections appear. Visible in the lake are not only reflections of several bright stars, but part of the Milky Way band itself. Credit & Copyright: Kerry-Ann Lecky Hepburn (Weather and Sky Photography)

POPSGreat Lakes Basin Compact: Protect a Natural & National Treasure
The Great Lakes are a finite, non-renewable natural treasure - containing a combined total of 6 quadrillion gallons of water — one-fifth of the world's fresh surface water. The lakes span 10,900 miles of coastline along the United States and Canada. The surface area of the lakes is larger than the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire combined. In 1998, there was a Lake Superior-based company in Ontario that proposed to take water by tanker out of Lake Superior to Asia. This proposal failed and spurred the Great Lakes governors to take action. In 2001, they agreed to a framework to begin negotiating the compact. By 2005, they had a deal to take to their state legislatures...the base for the Great Lakes Basin Compact. It says clearly that the Great Lakes should not be the long-term water supply answer for any other part of the world or any other part of the country.

POPSDiscovered: HMS Ontario Lost During A Gale In 1780 The Ontario went down on Oct. 31, 1780, with a garrison of 60 British soldiers, a crew of about 40, mostly Canadians, and possibly about 30 American war prisoners. The warship had been launched only five months earlier and was used to ferry troops and supplies along upstate New York's frontier. Although it was the biggest British ship on the Great Lakes at the time, it never saw battle, Smith said. After the ship disappeared, the British conducted a sweeping search but tried to keep the sinking secret from Gen. George Washington's troops because of the blow to the British defenses.

POPSExplorers find 1780 British warship in Lake Ontario Wow! On one hand, I'm glad they're not revealing its location or trying to bring it to the surface. On the other hand, I'd love to see it and I wish they'd taken more photos and videos. "But Lexi," you say, "you don't know how many photos and videos they did take." Doesn't matter -- I wish they'd taken more. :-)
