Big companies like DuPont are putting serious money into developing "bio fuel" -- motor fuel that is processed from the waste of corn stalks. DuPont wants to replace many of the current factories that use oil, with biorefineries like the one they will open later this year, in Loudon, Tenn., that will use corn to manufacter the chemical used for its Sorona carpet fiber. Corn-derived fiber will be cheaper yet still durable. DelawareOnline details many of the advances and challenges for governments and business on our road to energy independence. |

I think it is in our interest to punish the first insult;
because an insult unpunished is the parent of many others.

All I need to know about Rebecca Eddlemon, who died March 31 in Grand Prarie, Texas, is captured here in the first two paragraphs of a Dallas Morning News obituary I stumbled upon:
Rebecca Eddlemon looked for good in everyone, even the two gunmen who surprised her and husband Oscar Eddlemon in their food market in the mid-1970s. "They had Daddy laying face down and had Mother down on her knees," said Johnny Eddlemon, 54. "They took her purse and just about everything in the register."
"Afterward, Mother said: 'You know, I think they were good boys. They just got in with the wrong crowd,' " ... That faith and love of people was her trademark. ( Obituary By Kathy A. Goolsby)
