Corn prices have jumped dramatically during the past few months, hitting a record high of more than $6 a bushel. Demand for corn has increased, and the outlook concerning whether future supply can meet this demand is uncertain. This news is great for agricultural farmers, at least agricultural farmers, but it will have several negative repercussions for just about everyone else. Corn and corn-based additives—such as corn starch and corn syrup—are used in many foods and in animal feed for pigs and cattle. An increase in corn prices is one of the driving forces behind the price increases of numerous other foods. The use of corn in ethanol production is also driving up the price of corn. The government recently passed legislation calling for more ethanol production, which could result i

The craze and hungama is mounting with each passing day. Newspapers are carrying special pullouts and news channels are beaming programs.

Some further add that if there is any film that has potential to beat the record set by Mahesh Babu's Pokiri that collected more tha

Lewis Hamilton could go on to beat Michael Schumacher's all-time record of seven Formula One world titles, motorsport boss Max Mosley predicts.Hamilton made a spectacular F1 debut in 2007, losing the drivers' title to Kimi Raikkonen by a single point.However, the 23-year-old's debut season was also marred by his spats with former McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso and the fall-out of the "spy row".The pressure of the politics surrounding the sport and the media spotlight even led to suggestions by Hamilton that he could quit.But instead he has signed a new five-year deal with McLaren, reported to be worth £10m per year, and Mosley says that was the right decision."My advice to Lewis would be to put the money in the bank and don't worry about the politics," said Mosley, president of the spo

According to a report by The National Investor, the demand for housing in Abu Dhabi, is likely to surpass supply for the next decade, spiraling rent rates."We expect a situation of oversupply to threaten the value of local property market," reports the Investment Bank.The Bank advised that investors who are interested in getting the best out of Abu Dhabi property market, need to stay away from single, direct equity investments, which will bring significant risk and volatility.About 140,000 units are expected to be supplied in the market by 2009 and 2010, in comparison to just 10,000 during 2008 and 2009. Also, the demand during these three years, could average to about 18,000 units per year."The next two years are likely to be slow in terms of residential supply, and hence rents would continue to remain stable," the Bank said.Companies such as Sorouh Real Estate, and Aldar Properties, are developing about $121 billion worth of properties in Abu Dhabi, reported the Bank.

This was a fact that was proved with the delivery of projects such as the Jumeirah Beach Residence and International City. About 25000 units in Jumeirah Beach Residence alone were absorbed into the market so easily, without even causing any difference to the ma

Japanese shoppers opt for older console over hard-to-find PlayStation 3.TOKYO--Sales of the almost 7-year-old PlayStation 2 beat those of the brand-new PlayStation 3 in Japan in late January for the first time, according to sales figures published today.For the week of January 22 to January 28, sales of the PlayStation 2 totaled 20,995 units while those of the PlayStation 3 were 19,996, said Media Create. The research company receives data from around 3000 stores across Japan and uses that to estimate nationwide sales.Sony AdjustsThe figures amount to more bad news for Sony Computer Entertainment, which missed its initial shipment target for the console. The company had hoped to ship 2 million PlayStation 3 consoles worldwide between the Japan launch on November 11 and the end of 2006 but it didn't accomplish that until mid-January. It's sticking by its next shipment target of 6 million consoles by the end of March.Sales of the PlayStation 2 have been so good that Sony this week rais

On Christmas day four more US soldiers died which put the death toll at 2,977 since the beginning of the Iraq war in early 2003.  This death toll surpassed the 9/11 attacks which claimed the lives of 2,973 people from various countries(which includes 2,749 from the towers, 184 from pentagon crash, and 80 on United Flight 93).  President Bush is saying that we must stay on the offensive in order to keep the terrorists from attacking US soil again, which in turn puts our brave soldiers in harms way.  So while the debate continues here as to whether or not the US should still be fighting in Iraq, our soldiers are over there fighting nevertheless.  Let us not forget the sacrifice the soldiers are making for us everyday, because they are the ones on the front line, not the politicians that are over here confused about what direction we need to be heading.  God Bless our American Soldiers!!!
