POPSOne more game has been won Go, played by placing stones on a uniform 19x19 grid, does not allow for that kind of shortcut.

POPSFree Audio Books for Disabled People This site is processing applications for Baen Books, for disabled people to have access to all of Baen's audio and ebook libraries for free. Apparently it is offered to people who have any type of disability which makes reading standard books difficult. This would include vision problems and physical limitations, as well as some learning challenges, such as dyslexia. They have you fill out a simple form, asking for your email address, snail address, phone number, type of disability and doctor's information. I am interested in this because I am the caregiver for a lady who recently lost one eye, and can't see much out of her other eye.

POPSAccess to the White House - For a Price The piece goes on: The Times reports, “The revelation confirms long-held suspicions that favours are being offered in return for donations to the libraries which outgoing presidents set up to house their archives and safeguard their political legacies.” Bush loyalists previously said they had “identified wealthy heiresses, Arab nations and captains of industry as potential ‘mega’ donors” to the Bush library. Says Carpetbagger's Steve Benen , " his kind of corruption is striking, even by the Bush administration’s standards."
