| Conservation can carry load
The Dept. of Energy (and other government agencies, and most economists) live in la la land, where "demand" magically creates supply. Once upon a time a group of economists were thrown in a dungeon, with no food. They were worried, until one of them said: "Let's create a free market here between us, and supply each other with sandwiches". Sorry, but the "invisible hand" is about to slap us in the face. The planet is round, i.e., finite, and endless "growth" is an impossibility. BTW, note that the article did not suggest shutting down the nuke plant - but predicted that electricity prices will rise significantly regardless. A rising price is how supply and demand meet: demand will be depressed to meet available supply. Same as is now happening with oil.Posted: Thu Nov 15, 2007 11:23 am .
Kidd is officially a Maverick again
It became apparent Monday night that the trade would go through after serious doubt crept in numerous times throughout the saga. Harris is already in New Jersey for his physical. Joining him in the trade are backup center DeSagana Diop, reserve swingman Trenton Hassell, little-used second-year guard Maurice Ager and the linchpin of the deal, the semi-retired Keith Van Horn, who will pocket $4 million to get the salaries to match. The Mavs also throw in $3 million and first-round draft picks in 2008 and 2010. To first sign Van Horn before they could trade him, the Mavs had to waive rookie Nick Fazekas on Tuesday. Along with Kidd, the Mavs receive 6-foot-10 forward Malik Allen, who is not a typical banger, gathering just 2.7 rebounds and 5.4 points in 15.9 minutes a game, plus Antoine Wright, a third-year guard who has been slow to develop as a pro since leaving Texas A&M after his junior season.
Hog-wild with tradition
Others learn how to delicately thread casings onto the well-worn, cast-iron sausage maker. A sense of festivity fills the air. "It's good for the younger children to see how older people years ago had to do this," says Naomi Wimberly, who is 63 and grew up not far from here, butchering hogs and making sausage. "Hog-killing, as it was called, was an important ritual of rural life for nearly three centuries in South Carolina," explains Prince. The task has since become a rare event. "Reasons for the decline are both demographic and economic. Although South Carolina's population has increased, the number of families owning livestock has decreased. Even in rural areas, hog-raising has become the exception rather than the rule," Prince says.

Thieves steal from Safari Park
The lead was destined for the roof of the fire-ravaged mansion in the grounds, which is currently being rebuilt. But between Sunday evening and early Monday morning, raiders used cutting equipment to burn the doors off the large metal container where the eight tonnes of lead was stored. Safari park spokeswoman, Wendy Jackson, said the theft was an inconvenience but did not believe it would hold up the construction work. She added: “We are progressing very well with the house so it is not going to cause any major delays. .
