Joey speaks on oil and other New Era anomalies:

<<Once again, energy prices are misbehaving. For the
third time this year, oil prices have risen above $34
per barrel. While this is the high end of the range, I
expect rising supply from OPEC and other
suppliers to push oil prices back into the mid-$20s.
So far, the rise in oil prices has not affected
consumer and business behavior and the economy
has absorbed the higher prices reasonably well.

Importantly, the current high price of oil does not imply a shift toward
rising expectations. Rising productivity and corporate earnings remain the
central issues for the economy and financial markets.>>

Meat-eating underground plant found

LAKE WALES, Fla., Aug. 28 ( UPI ) -- Scientists at a biological station in
Lake Wales, Fla., have found a rare underground carniverous plant, the St.
Petersburg Times reported Monday.

The species of utricularia grows underground and eats nematodes and other
tiny underground creatures with a nodule that sucks the meat into the plant.

The organism was discovered at the Central Florida Archbold Biological
Station in Lake Wales. Discoverers of the plant were botanists Kevin Hogan
of the University of Florida and fellow botanist Stephen Mulkey.

"Here's something that's beyond belief," marveled Hogan. He said the
species is unlike any other.

Utricularia can conduct photosynthesis underground due to the white quartz
sand at the 5,100 acre biological station.

By growing underground, the plant is protected from evaporation. It has
leaves that grow upward and roots that grow downward from the underground
main stalk.

Now that utricularia has been discovered on Lake Wales Ridge, site of the
biological station, scientists are looking for more of the organism on the
grounds.
