Democrats make populist appeals before contests
As a African American I would hope that African Americans if looking for a African American candidate would look deeper into their roots of the past; those whose ancestry were slaves. As for African American support for the Socailist Clinton that is wrong also; we need to stop looking to the Democratic Party for a handout. We can make it by faith Hilliary is not the answer - she is not our savior and Bill is not the first African American President and Obama doesn´t represent African Americans everywhere. He is a smooth talking promise making empty man that will be defeated. America is ready for a change but we don´t need the either of these Democrats one a self agrandizing carpet bagger and the other a wet behind the ear slogan maker. Please America wake up before it´s too late. .

I don't know if it's done in other parts of the country, which I'm sure it is, but around here, there are local theaters that put the Packer game on the big screen. It's mostly theaters that serve beer and food that do it, otherwise, without serving beer at a Packer game in Wisconsin, it's pointless. It's an incredibly popular place for people to go and watch the game. I've never done it myself, but there are a lot of people that do. Not any more. The NFL has sent out letters to the owners of these operations to stop showing these games because they violate copyright laws. This according to the Journal Sentinel. Brian McCarthy, an NFL spokesman, said in an e-mail that the league recently became aware that the businesses were showing Packers games. "We let them know they are violating copyright law and longstanding NFL policies that prohibit mass out-of-town viewing of NFL games," he said.
Potato futures up on concern output will fall
MUMBAI: Potato futures rose on Thursday on speculation a persistent cold wave in the northern region could hurt output, analysts said.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange of India, potato futures rose more than 1 per cent, with the most active March contract at Rs 598, up 1.15 per cent.
"Futures price is rising only on speculation," Abhijeet Choudhuri, an analyst with research house Agriwatch, said. "There are speculations that output would fall due to the cold wave." "At least 10-15 percent crop loss has been reported in India. But this rise is only temporary as arrivals will start soon."
India's potato production in 2007/08 is likely to grow 4.5 per cent, half its earlier 10 per cent estimate, on crop damage, the National Horticulture Research Development Foundation, which monitors potatoes and onions for the government said.
AIRSHOW-Honeywell sees Asia aerospace sales up 10pct in '08
Despite fears of a global downturn amidst a slowing U.S. economy and a growing credit crisis, business activity globally has not been affected, a senior executive from the company said. "It's mainly showing up as just a lot of worry and concerns. But we're not seeing it in the data, we're not seeing it in orders and in business activities," said Mark Howes, President of Honeywell Aerospace Asia Pacific. Howes said Honeywell's aerospace division saw about $900 million in sales in 2007, and expects this to grow to $1 billion this year as airlines receive record number of aircrafts from manufacturers such as Boeing (BA.N: Quote, Profile, Research), Airbus (EAD.PA: Quote, Profile, Research) and Bombardier (BBDb.TO: Quote, Profile, Research) in 2008. Howes, who is attending the Singapore Airshow being held this week, said the U.S.

Grain shoots higher on USDA reports
Washington, D.C. Commodity prices shot higher today after the government reported that demand for grain is staying strong and last years corn harvest was smaller than previously thought.
The U.S. Agriculture Departments final crop report for 2007 put corn production at 13.1 billion bushels, down 1 percent from the November estimate.
Meanwhile, the government raised its estimate of how much of the corn crop will be used for livestock feed by 300 million bushels. That was the big surprise, the shocker, Don Roose, president of U.S. Commodities Inc.
The report suggests livestock farms are not reducing production despite the soaring cost of feed, he said. .
