2007-10-14 14:21 An important announcement
This is the most important announcement of my life. I'm still in the Philippines on my vacation. And, I'm not alone. Tonight, as the sun was setting on the beach at Boracay, she agreed to marry me. She wasn't expecting it, at least not at this time despite the very romantic setting, so in her natural shyness, she could only cover her face, smile and say, "I'm speechless! I don't know what to say." I replied, "Say yes." So with all apologies to the single women of the world, Perry is now taken. W …

I'm leaving in the morning for a vacation in the Philippines, my first time back in over 24 years. I'll be spending a lot of time in Mindanao, the Philippines' large southern island where Abu Sayyaf and all the other Muslim terrorists are based. And they're not the only concern, either. I'll be about 30 minutes away from Kidapawan, a city which just had another bombing by Mafia-style extortionists. On top of all that, anyone who looks Western is a prime target for kidnapping anywhere in the coun …

2007-10-02 17:56 Fundamental Tips for Longevity in the Gym
By: Dave Draper I have a friend from Muscle Beach who is three-quarters of a century old this July. He lifted weights when not fighting the enemy in Mindanao during WWII and can no more give up his workouts than a dummy can give up his ventriloquist. His advice is to figure out what exercises don't hurt and do a lot of them. It's called wisdom from the Chief. You might scribble that down on a napkin for future reference while we seek out other alternatives to put into motion. We have a head star …

2007-09-02 07:42 Promises and pitfalls of biofuels
Like any innovation, increased production of energy crops has the potential to exacerbate socioeconomic inequalities by concentrating benefits on the well-off. It can lead to deforestation, a loss of biodiversity, and excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, thereby degrading the land and water that poor people depend on. Policymakers must take care to ensure that biofuel production is managed and regulated in a way that avoids these pitfalls. Joachim von Braun, director general, Internation …
