Initially suggested."One driver, a leader in the recent taxi driver protests in Melbourne's CBD, told 3AW radio the disturbance was sparked when an Indian driver attempted to skip the queue.'The Indian driver tried to jump the queue, and one of the Somalian drivers said 'you can't jump the queue, you have to do the right thing, this is wrong', and they started fighting.'"So where does race come into that?

How futures and options are making rich farmers poor.
2008-04-22 00:00:00 For those interested in the nuanced and hazy world of how futures and options work, in particular in relation to soft commodities like soybeans, wheat, corn, and cotton, the NY Times has a very interesting article out detailing how these markets are ailing: Prices of broad commodity indexes have climbed as much as 40 percent in the last year and grain prices have gained even more -- about 65 percent for corn, 91 percent for soybeans and more than 100 percent for some types of wheat. This price boom has attracted a torrent of new investment from Wall Street, estimated to be as much as $300 billion. Whether new investors are causing the market's problems or keeping them from getting worse is in dispute. But there is no question that the grain markets are now experiencing levels of volatility that are running well above the average levels over the last quarter-century. Until recently, that system had worked well for generations. Since 1959, grain producers have been able to hedge th...
