POPSWheat stubble could power a greener future When considering alternate energy sources, all stages of the process needs to be taken into account. To translate energy from one media to another, energy needs to be used to allow the conversion. Very often however, rather than direct input a catalyst can be used, to both streamline the conversion, or use a form of energy such as solar, or latent chemical energy. via a catalytic converter, or an organic process. Photosynthesis, and Yeast, metabolism, are examples that involve both. Some of the best catalysts are Enzymes, chemical 'messengers' which can co-ordinate the operation of proteins which are used like an organic 'toolkit'

POPSPlastic chemical linked to heart disease It was suggested that plastic should not be microwaved, but it is clearly more serious than that, considering the way chemicals 'leech' from things in which thet have come into contact. Bisphenol A can cause abnormal concentrations of enzymes, which are catalysts or 'Messengers' between different Organs in our body.

POPSFirst Underwater Neutrino Telescope Has Been Constructed The Antares detector is shielded from the background of cosmic rays by 2000 metres of water. Its abyssal depth provides total darkness, disturbed only by the faint light from a few bioluminescent animals. The telescope's basic principle is to make Earth itself the neutrino target. While the Earth stops other particles, neutrinos can pass all the way through. Along the way, some of them will collide with the nucleus of an atom. A very rare occurrence statistically, this collision produces a muon, a charged particle similar to an electron that moves in the same direction as the original neutrino.

POPSPolish Holocaust hero dies at age 98 Yad Vashem Chairman Avner Shalev said Sender's "courageous activities rescuing Jews during the Holocaust serve as a beacon of light to the world, inspiring hope and restoring faith in the innate goodness of mankind." Despite the Yad Vashem honor, Sendler was largely forgotten in her homeland until recent years. She came to the world's attention in 2000 when a group of schoolgirls from Uniontown, Kan., wrote a short play about her called "Life in a Jar." It went on to garner international attention, and has been performed more than 200 times in the United States, Canada and Poland. Sendler, born Irena Krzyzanowska, said she lived according to her physician father's teachings, arguing that "people can be only divided into good or bad; their race, religion, nationality don't matter."

POPS The "Money Tree" Growing In Congress' Backyard When the global company launched the ecomagination campaign, guess where it held the launch party? Its D.C. lobbying office, of course. "Green is the new black" On "Days of Our Lives," a fictional couple had a fictionally "green" wedding. And the cast of the "Today" show burned massive amounts of jet fuel sending its hosts to the corners of the globe - leaving a "carbon footprint" larger than those left near the recycle bin on "The Biggest Loser." I could go on, but you've seen the tyranny of Green even if you've never turned on NBC. And that's why, on top of all the other reasons, Green Week - and the Green Millennium it hopes to usher in - is so annoying. It plays us all for suckers. First of all, you have enormously rich people at fantastically wealthy corporations seeking grace on the cheap with a few symbolic gestures that come at absolutely no cost and often-considerable profit.
