U.S. stocks gain; Dow suffers worst week since ‘08 - Market Snapshot - MarketWatch
By Kate Gibson , MarketWatch NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks ended higher Friday but tumbled for the week, sending the Dow average to its worst weekly loss since 2008, with investors alert to any sign of policy makers acting further to bolster the global economy. “The fact that people are afraid to buy here but we’re not going lower, that’s a good sign,” said Marc Pado, U.S. market strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald. Is gold's future all that glitters?
MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Thursday said the U.S. central bank would spare no effort to boost weak growth, but to the dismay of investors stopped short of a full plunge into further monetary support. "The Federal Reserve will do all it can to help restore high rates of growth and employment in a context of price stability," Bernanke told the Economic Club of Minnesota. In what could be taken as a bid to quell concerns among some of his colleagues that further easing could spark inflation, Bernanke said a rise in consumer prices this year would likely to be transitory. "We see little indication that the higher rate of inflation experienced so far this year has become ingrained in the economy," he said.

How can we get America back to work? We've tried stimulus, tried tax cuts, tried boosting exports, tried readying our shovels -- but last month's zero-net-job-growth showed the depth of our employment woes. President Obama will share his latest ideas with a joint session of Congress, and anyone not watching the NFL pregame, on Thursday night.

Animal waste: Future energy, or just hot air? - CNN
According to the United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), there are about 1.3 billion cattle worldwide (one for every five people), slightly more than 1 billion sheep, around 1 billion pigs, 800 million goats and 17 billion chickens. Between them, they produce a lot of fecal matter -- around 13 billion tons of it a year, according to various estimates. Within that matter is 55 percent to 65 percent methane, which when released into the atmosphere is bad news for us (it traps heat at 23 times the rate that carbon dioxide does) -- but when burned is another matter entirely. It gives us energy. According to Ecofriend, one cubic foot of biogas can be produced from one pound of cow manure (heated at around 28 degrees Celsius, or 82.4 degrees Fahrenheit).
