Mass Cattle Deaths May Be Caused By Random Grass Mutation

A mysterious mass death of a herd of cattle has prompted a federal investigation in Central Texas.

Preliminary test results are blaming the deaths on the grass the cows were eating when they got sick. The grass is a genetically modified form of Bermuda known as Tifton 85 which has been growing here for 15 years

The cows dropped dead several weeks ago on a ranch in Elgin, just east of Austin.

High Anxieties: The Mathematics of Chaos

This documentary was started in 2007 by David Malone and Mark Tanner on commission from the BBC. David had finally persuaded the network that a financial collapse was coming, a situation which he had been watching and documenting for some years.

It was finally finished on 12 September 2008, the Friday before the collapse of Lehman Brother. Two days later it was aired on BBC4.

David Malone writes a financial blog Golem XIV.

A number of people had been warning of a collapse including myself. The bubble in housing and dodgy credit was apparent to anyone who had eyes to see, the time and training to look, and a mind unclouded by conflicts of interest.

I remember after one particular rant of mine on an establishment economics site about the coming collapse, someone asked, 'What do you think he wants?'

And that is perhaps the heart of what went wrong. Few were acting from conscience and principle, and most, as is so human, were guided by self-interest, ideology, rosy thinking, and the flawed models that support that sort of thing.

I will tell you now that what is coming next will be as awful as anything that has gone before, and quite possibly much worse. There is still some time to act, but it is quickly slipping by. We seem to have learned nothing.
