The chickens are coming home to roost, or something. Whatever the appropriate metaphor, both Christiansburg and Blacksburg are considering allowing backyard chickens. It is a bad idea. People raising chickens for eggs, feathers and meat at home is not new.

The dominant model of regulation in the United States for consumer credit, insurance, and investment products is disclosure and unfettered choice. As these products have become more complex, consumers' inability to understand them has become increasingly apparent, and the consequences of this inability more dire.

The Washington Times reports that the U.S. Central Command paid San Diego firm Ntrepid $2.7 million for the software. It makes American special operations forces using it appear to be logging in from appropriate spots anywhere in the world, enhancing the credibility of those fake personas in terrorists' eyes.
I think what we're doing with the magazine really plays up its strengths and also its pertinence. Print is not dead. Print is more important than ever, especially for enthusiasts publications," says editor-in-chief David Edwards. "You spend quality time with your magazine. You don't curl up next to a fireplace with a computer to read a feature story, but you might do that with a magazine. The decision to beef up the website comes at a time when a handful of enthusiast websites native to the Internet have raced ahead to lead the online pack. The competition has a good start, but there is room for everybody, Uttle explains. "For the brand we don't have anywhere near the traffic we should and we're looking to fix that," he says.

Now there's this: Roy is the hottest name in the rumor mill if the Sabres make a trade.
