Hi Jay, The mayor of my old home town in Illinois is faced with a dying manufacturing base in our town of 25,000. So what is his solution? He's recently decided to attempt to float a $52 MM bond measure to upgrade the city's water, sewer and road systems. When my Dad told me this last night, I nearly dropped the phone. This was the same mayor who attempted to get a bond measure of $7 MM passed two years ago (when life was relatively better) for a new library to replace the one built with a Carnegie Trust grant in 1914. That idea was stopped dead in its tracks by the rich folks in town who don't think it is appropriate for people who can't afford to have their own private library to suck off the teat of the rich. Just let me know when Hong Kong is going to create the tax base to create infrastructure projects. I'll let my friends at Bechtel, Fluor and Halliburton know about it. :)

Agribusiness in China and the Illinois town of Ray. Agribusiness in China appears to be very low tech and needs help to improve. Slowly the skills and techniques that the developed countries no longer have can be supplied by countries like Brazil. Take tannery, for instace, if you buy a very expensive piece of footwear, most likely the material and the technician who make it possible was a Brazilian. That because there you still find cost effective manpower for works that no one wants to touch in the developed world. The Illinois town Ray talks about with the industry closing down and the mayor seeking to construct a library or imrpovig roads is part of the same problem. People shun work and they have priced themselves out of the market. Hence the capital should leave Illinois until the people there deflate to a point when they think working in whatever industry is a good idea. Everything is connected, that's wgy one has to know the whole construct and not only bits and pieces of it. The Chinese could ask Brazil to help them out. In Brazil, agribusiness is integrated, from the chicks and piglets to the supermarket. The agribusiness supplies the chicks, for small farmers, supplies the veterinary assistance to vacinate them against sickness and control quality of the feedstock, The small farmer just supplies the land and the caretaking of the animals untill they grow up and are ready to the slaugherhouse.

Girl web-based fundraising for bigger breasts gets USD4.500. She put a photo on her site showing how her 'papayas' are today, and how she could look with the bigger 'papayas', asking if the visitors liked the results after the "upgrade" he could contribute to the operation. Apparently, the visitors liked the upgraded 'papayas' version and donated money to her until reaching the USD4.500 so she can improve the 'fruits'. She is now thanking all the donors and promises to put on the web page the photo os the results of upgrade. Just keep BBR on top of the action. www.giveboobs.com
