It appears very likely that the Federal Reserve's Board
of Governors will cut interest rates again at their upcoming meeting (Tuesday,
December 11th). If it is a
50 basis point cut (or more), it could kick off another huge round of Dollar-dumping
worldwide, and we might see the USD
Index drop down into the 60s. Speaking
of the Dollar's continuing fall, RBS sent us this from The
Economist: Losing
faith in the greenback

RBS also sent us a link to a
recall from Gerber--not the baby food company,

a Blade (EAB) models.

Kudos to Mike F. for finding us some data from Brigham Young University that
revises the shelf life estimates for many storage food for as long as 30 years: New
Findings for Longer-Term Food Storage. Keep in mind that "life sustaining"
is not synonymous with full nutritive value. So be sure supplement
your food storage program with some double-encapsulated multivitamins and
a plenty
of
sprouting
seeds. (Fresh sprouts are an ideal source of essential vitamins.)
