10-23-7 Recently, I said "we'll be fighting in the streets for food long before we're buried in ice." I say the same thing in my book Not by Fire but by Ice. I just received an email from a reader that sums it up better than I did... "I spent about thirty years working in commercial agribusiness. My main job was to purchase ingredients, mainly grain, for flour mills and animal feed mills. As a part of my job, I was forced to understand the US food supply system, its strengths and weaknesses. Over the years, I became aware of some things that nearly all Americans are completely unaware of. I am going to make a list of statements and then you will see where ...

The U.S. chess Grandmaster Bobby Fisher died at age 64 of an unknown illness, the national radio station in Iceland reported on Friday. Fisher moved to Iceland in 2005 and later obtained his citizenship, after the U.S. authorities pursued in arresting him mainly for violating President George H. W. Bush’s executive order in 1992 of not engaging in economic activities with Yugoslavia (Fisher chose to play against Spassky, despite the order). The former world chess champion was pronounced dead on Thursday, at a Reykjavik hospital, but no further details have been released to the press. Fisher was the first and only U.S.-born champion, in a sport where the Soviets always had the lead. ...
NFL Odds - Patriots vs. Giants ( will the Giants be spoilers tonight?)

Thank you, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. He's the one who ultimately decided to put the historic Patriots-Giants game on national TV for American viewers when it appeared much of the country would be shut out when it was only on the NFL Network. So will we see history? The Patriots go for 16-0, but is that worth risking a big injury for the playoffs? The Giants are locked into the No. 5 seed in the NFC as a wild card and literally have nothing to play for - other than momentum. New England is a 13.5-point favorite on WagerWeb.com (over/under of 46.5). If you believe both coaches, the starters will play this week, which is as it should be with history on the line. "Our ...

Asked Wednesday about the Simpson scenario, Owens playfully chimed in: "Right now, Jessica Simpson is not a fan favorite _ in this locker room ...

This short survey will tell you approximately how many five year old children you could fight at once. Results are based on physical prowess, training, swarm-combatting experience, and the flexibility of your moral compass. Here are the ground rules: * You are in an enclosed area roughly the size of a basketball court * There are no weapons or foreign objects * Everyone is wearing a cup (so no kicks to the groin) * The children are merciless and will show no fear * If a child is knocked unconscious, he is "out." The same goes for you. Click for Full Text!

NFL to put team in Toronto? CFL commish not happy about potential expansion TORONTO (AP) -- CFL commissioner Mark Cohon believes all signs point to an NFL team being placed in Toronto. It's the first time the league has taken such a definitive stance on the subject. "All of the tea leaves are indicating that it's shifting," Cohon said Friday. "You have guys like Ted Rogers and Larry Tanenbaum and Phil Lind, very powerful Canadians who are interested; you have an owner in Ralph Wilson in Buffalo who has said, `When I die, my estate will sell the franchise'; you have the Bills interested in marking Toronto as part of their territory, which I believe is ...

Red Sox open World Series with rout Ronald Blum Associated Press Oct. 24, 2007 10:27 PM BOSTON - Josh Beckett, Dustin Pedroia and the Boston Red Sox were revved up and ready. Not so the Colorado Rockies, who lurched into Beantown with all the zip of a creaky old stagecoach. Back in the World Series with no Bambino's curse to worry about, the Red Sox flattened the Rockies 13-1 in Wednesday night's opener. Beckett got off to the most overpowering start since Sandy Koufax, Pedroia became only the second player to lead off the Series with a home run, and then a relentless offense led by Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz racked up hit after hit. "Not sure what the final score ...

Once the Paper of Record, the Newspaper Now has Investors Bailing. Why? Boom! And down goes the biggest newspaper name of all. As you may have read, yesterday brokerage giant Morgan Stanley dumped its entire stake -- $183 million worth -- in the New York Times, in which it was the second largest shareholder. Not surprisingly, Times stock immediately slumped, bottoming at a nearly 3 percent drop to $18.28 -- the lowest it has been in a decade. The actual damage is probably even larger than that. The Morgan Stanley sell-off has been expected for some time now. Ever since April, after Hassam Elmasry, managing director of Morgan's Investment Management Group failed in his attempt to ...

D-Backs sweep aside Cubs Nick Piecoro The Arizona Republic Oct. 6, 2007 11:21 PM CHICAGO - The final out was about to fall into the glove of Jeff Salazar in right field when closer Jose Valverde began thumping his chest, and soon the celebration had begun anew, the smell of champagne and beer and sweat hanging heavy in the air of the cramped visitor's clubhouse at Wrigley Field. The Diamondbacks danced and shouted and sprayed each other again - this time, with goggles, this time enjoying their 5-1 win Saturday night over the Chicago Cubs that completed a three-game sweep of this National League Division Series.

Let's Go (Home) Mets: NYers complete greatest collapse in baseball history
Post Date: 2007-09-30 16:40:30 by Mekons4

One of my favorite players of all time, Tom Glavine, got shelled in the first inning, and the Mets went on to lose to Florida, 8-1, while Philadelphia was beating Washington at home. 17 games ago, New York led Philadelphia by 7 games. Not only did they lose the division, they also lost out for the wild card. I'm sure glad I'm not a Mutt fan. As far as I know, this is the biggest choke in baseball history. I have heard that one team in the 1930s may have blown a similar lead, but it took them a whole month.

They're going crazy out on the street as Cubs clinch. Yanks just lost and Red Sox clinched. Diamondbacks won earlier, so all that's left is the wild card in the NL. It's all over in the AL. Pretty amazing night, particularly the total collapse of the Mutts and the run the Phillies have made. A couple of weeks ago, the Phils were going to be lucky to get into the wild card. Now they're up one with two to play. One of the best years for baseball ever, apart from the Bonds joke.
