POPSMaking an Arguement for Misspelling Love the title of this article. "Most teachers expect to correct their students' spelling mistakes once in a while. But Ken Smith has had enough. The senior lecturer in criminology at Bucks New University in Buckinghamshire, England, sees so many misspellings in papers submitted by first-year students that he says we'd be better off letting the perpetrators off the hook and doing away with certain spelling rules altogether."

POPSLet Them Eat Rice: Washington's Unedifying Ethanol Food Fight And what about the impact of the Chinese livestock and meat complex, alluded to by Senator Grassley? According to China expert, Darrell Ray, Director of the University of Tennessee's Agricultural Policy Analysis Center, "China has not been importing corn to grow her livestock industry. China continues to export more corn that she imports. With regard to grains, China has been taking care of China as if it were a planet on to its own, completely independent of what is happening elsewhere. . . .To attribute today's international grain prices to China essentially assumes that beginning two years ago the market decided there may be a need for China to become a net importer of some corn in the future, say 2012, and so bid-up the price of corn by double." As this "let them eat rice" soundbite made clear, the debate over the food versus fuel issue is about as undignified as a full out real food fight at a summer camp cafeteria.

POPSFBI Obstructs Justice: Uncovering the Anthrax Cover-Up Who benefited most from the anthrax letters, that targeted very specific people in Congress (Democrats Leahy and Daschle) and Media (including Tom Brokaw and Robert Stevens)? Was it Bruce Ivins--really? The FBI claims his motive was profit from a vaccine to cure anthrax, but we see no evidence that he ever produced it. We do find more credible motive elsewhere, and that the FBI wants to close this investigation, based upon his "suicide", is an attempt to put him on trial in his death, and in his absence! Never has there been a more flagrant public crime with more injustice in the investigation and "conclusion", nor more international and governmental actions as a consequence (i.e. wars and legislation), if this is it. The FBI is aiding and abetting a cover-up, which is obstruction of justice, which they were told to do from the beginning.

POPSNeurobiologists Discover Individuals Who 'Hear' Movement "We might find that motion processing centers of the visual cortex are more interconnected with auditory brain regions than previously thought, even in the 'normal' brain," Saenz says. "At this point, very little is known about how the auditory and visual processing systems of the brain work together. Understanding this interaction is important because in normal experience, our senses work together all the time."
