POPSTwitter: clique-y or fluid? Just from my own anecdotal evidence, I'd wager Dave Pollard's proposition about the male/female split on Twitter friend diversity.

POPSNatrual Resources: Going Beyond Panaceas
Many scholars have mapped Hardin's ideas onto a range of human–environment systems and have predicted dire consequences for their long-term viability unless his first solution, government ownership, is imposed. Even though >100,000 areas around the world are formally protected, and the effectiveness of many of these areas is unknown, some advocates still call for further efforts to create protected areas as the only way to protect biodiversity (11, 12). Others argue that "the only way to avoid the tragedy of the commons in natural resources and wildlife is ... by creating a system of private property rights" (ref. 13, p. 467). Marketable permits continue to be presented as the optimal method for solving free-rider problems and for providing effective common-pool resource management (14–16).** Furthermore, collaborative approaches involving community participation are frequently "portrayed as a cure-all," to the distress of researchers who work in the field (ref. 26, p. 382).

POPSWildlife of Madagascar - pics 2 Avahi occidentalis A western woolly lemur. Scientists have used specially developed software to create detailed maps of how species are distributed on the island down to a per kilometre level 3 Avahi laniger An eastern woolly lemur. Data was collected on the exact locations of more than 2,300 Malagasy species from six major groups: lemurs, butterflies, frogs, geckos, ants and plants 4 Daubentonia madagascariensis An aye-aye. The world's largest nocturnal primate is found only in Madagascar and well known for its unique method of finding food: it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out 5 The Indri indri, one of the largest lemurs. The scientists say the Madagascar model could be used for other biodiversity hot spots around the world by helping scientists to predict where species might go for refuge when habitats are endangered by climate change

POPSSenior Democrats mull Al Gore's nomination My understanding of the American system has been changed by this knowledge. Candidates can spend millions from donations and still miss out because the "big knobs" want someone else? Amazing, or should I say, interesting safety net.
