SHIFTING PROTEIN SOURCES
Sentido.tv, NJ -
As the consumption of animal protein has grown, the share of the world grain harvest used for feed has remained constant at roughly 37 percent for two decades. Of the world’s three leading grains—rice, wheat, and corn—which together account for nearly 90 percent of the grain harvest, rice is grown almost entirely as a food crop. Wheat is largely a food crop, but one sixth of the wheat harvest is fed to livestock and poultry. In contrast, the world’s huge corn harvest is consumed largely as feed. In recent years, the addition of a protein supplement (typically soybean meal) to feed rations has boosted the efficiency of feed conversion into animal protein. This stabilized the share of the world grain harvest used for feed even while meat, milk, and egg consumption per person were climbing. 17

Aussies destroy England
sportal.com.au, Australia -
Just three minutes later England scrumhalf Peter Richards sniffed out a gap on the edge of the ruck and scooted downfield. He was pulled down by the cover by managed to pop up a ball to hooker George Chuter who threw a huge dummy that everyone fell for and galloped 20 metres to score his first ever Test try. Goode pushed the conversion wide to leave the scores at 26-11 to the Wallabies.

The SCO and China's Reach
TCS Daily, DC -
China's leaders have in recent years visited Latin America more frequently than have US leaders, and China is now the second-biggest trading partner, after the US, of most of the continent. Mexico's leading academic on China, Romer Cornejo of the Colegio de Mexico, says the region is now listening more attentively to what China's leaders are saying because "they have a long-term plan for Latin America" -- including buying a bigger share of the commodities that traditionally go to the US.

Anglican Bishop Wants Homosexual �Conversion�
theTrumpet.com, OK -
Prior to this generation, an Anglican reaching out to homosexuals meant trying to save them from a life of misery and public ostracism. It was egalitarianism based on the belief that God made male and female for a monogamous, heterosexual relationship, and that homosexuality was condemned by God’s Word, the Bible. It was a case of heterosexuals reaching out from offices of authority and prestige to help a portion of society they felt had lost its way and needed guidance.

Hurricanes' power play winning special-teams matchup so far
Charlotte Observer, NC -
The Hurricanes managed only one goal with the extra man in Game 1, but it was Ray Whitney's third-period score that erased the last of the Oilers' three-goal lead in a 5-4 victory. They followed that with a better performance against an Edmonton team missing starting goaltender Dwayne Roloson, continuing to shoot pucks toward fill-in Jussi Markkanen and using their speed to chase rebounds.

Volkswagen Caddy Life/Camper
CarPoint Australia, Australia -
A long list of additional features transform the Caddy into a useful people mover or camper. The seven-seater comes in two distinct specification levels depending on engine. Although the manual-only petrol starts at $27,990, it rockets up to $31,990 for the diesel manual which requires a further $3000 for the DSG auto, significantly more than the same option in the Golf. To soften the blow, the diesels come with cruise control, alloy wheels, trip computer and height adjustable front seats with storage drawers which account for most of the price increase on their own. Although most of these can be ordered on the Petrol, the Diesel with the lot is the better deal as soon as you start playing with options. This suggests VW is packaging the Caddy Life seven-seater at two levels: a price-sensitive commercial entry point and a more complete family vehicle.
