A federal judge says sugar beet farmers can't plant genetically engineered varieties next year, and those farmers, who produce half of America's sugar, now are in a bind. Many of them say they cannot go back to the way they used to work because they don't own those tools anymore and there aren't enough conventional seeds to go around.

The map shows very high levels of PM2.5 in a broad swath stretching from the Saharan Desert in Northern Africa to Eastern Asia. When compared with maps of population density, it suggests more than 80 percent of the world's population breathe polluted air that exceeds the World Health Organization's recommended level of 10 micrograms per cubic meter. Levels of PM2.5 are comparatively low in the United States, though noticeable pockets are clearly visible over urban areas in the Midwest and East.

WWT,

Do you think that is probably dust from the Sahara?

Here in southeastern Arizona (I'm just about spittin' distance to the border) we get stuff in the air from China and probably Africa every once in awhile.

It turns the sky a dull tannish orange.

I stay indoors when the air is like that as I have asthma.

The government is going to protect us from buying bad gold. Do you feel safe?

 

[felixthecat]

I don't have a clue what the market is going to do. All I know is...we either are going to sell off now or very soon. Then, I still won't know what the market will do. All I know is, I will reenter the market when the elections are just about completed. So for the short term, I believe I could get hurt very much in this market climate. So, I will sit on the Lilly pad for now.

Geithner: U.S. will not engage in dollar devaluation.

Does anyone find this funny?

The dollar has not gone down in price, the value of gold has just gone up.


Alan Greenspan quotes:

"Gold and economic freedom are inseparable." "Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth."

Going 100% into Fund S until further notice. I rode the Fund I down and back up this calendar year so I figure it is time to change horses. Good luck to all in the new Calendar year of 2011.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Happy Holidays to all.
