POPSMountain of heartbreak for NV skiers A disappointed Robbie Dixon reaches the end of the men's Super G at Whistler Friday. Dixon and fellow North Vancouver skier Manuel Osborne-Paradis crashed on their way down the course. North Vancouver natives Manuel Osborne-Paradis and Robbie Dixon entered the 2010 Winter Olympics riding a wave of good results, but it all came crashing down, literally, as the duo managed to complete just one out of four runs between them in downhill and Super G. Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway, who is occasionally referred to as a quasi-Canadian because of his pre-season training with the Canadian alpine team, won the race in a time of one minute, 30.34 seconds to knock American Bode Miller from the top spot by .28 seconds. The latest disappointment happened Friday morning when both racers went off course in Super G, dashing their hopes of picking up an Olympic medal on the Whistler slopes that they both grew up skiing.

POPSOlympic Perfection: Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean The 1984 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XIV Olympic Winter Games, were a winter multi-sport event which was celebrated in Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was at the time part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Torvill and Dean (Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean) are British ice dancers and former British-, European-, Olympic- and World champions. At the 1984 Winter Olympics the pair became the highest scoring figure skaters of all time (for a single programme) receiving twelve perfect 6.0s, including artistic impression scores of 6.0 from every judge. The pair turned professional following the 1984 Olympics, regaining amateur status briefly ten years later in 1994 to compete in the Olympics once again. The pair retired from competitive skating for good in 1998 when they toured one last time with their own show, Ice Adventures, before rejoining Stars on Ice for one more season....

POPSVancouver 2010, Part 1 of 2 Collected here are some photos from Days 1-8, with more to follow in another entry after the closing ceremony. (45 photos total) Today is Day 8 of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver Canada, almost the halfway mark, and it's time to have a look at the activities in British Columbia. Over 100 medals have been awarded so far, with the United States, Germany, Norway and Canada leading the medal race. This year's event has been nicknamed by some as the Glitch Games, with more than its share of problems, from a malfunctioning cauldron on opening night to weather problems and course troubles. VANOC officials said they were working on the issues they could control, and were optimistic as athletes continued to deliver amazing performances in the many venues around Vancouver. Collected here are some photos from Days 1-8, with more to follow in another entry after the closing ceremony. (45 photos total)

POPSSCIENTIFIC CONTROVERSY vs "CONSPIRACY" 1. The 9/11 issue is increasingly framed not as conspiracy theories versus hard science, but as a legitimate controversy resting on unanswered questions and a search for truth. 2. News reports and television programs examining these controversies have become longer and more balanced. 3. Major media outlets have begun to present the claims of the truth movement first, followed by counter-arguments from defenders of the official story. 4. Major media outlets have begun to include, and even to introduce, extensive evidence to support the claims of the 9/11 truth community. 5. The media treatments increasingly suggest the possibility of a re-investigation into the events of September 11, 2001.

POPSSri Lanka: Another U.S. Covert Conspiracy This week the USA-funded Ukrainian political party faced defeat. That was the same thing as this. We're also active in political agitation in Iran. (We fund and support dictatorships around the world). It goes on and on and on. Our military is out of control. They report being in almost 150 nations but in more and doing things even Congress has no idea of: bad things. This clip is a complaint from the government of Sri Lanka The left hand doesn't even know what the right hand is doing. Requiring an official, proper Constitution Declaration of War before we send in any troops would be Step Number One to regain citizen, civilian controls...or else the generals are gonna wanna play with their toys, and want more toys, and call their toys pretty names like: advisors, trainers, security staff, private civilian contractors...or the more exotic 'rogue agents,' and covert operatives: It's a real monster on the loose.
