Already the world's largest producer of milk, India will have to yank up production from the current 100 million metric tons to 180 million metric tons by 2021-22 to keep pace with growing population and expanding disposable incomes. Livestock such as cows, buffalo, goats, sheep, horses and mules are indispensable to India's rural economy - whether the animals are yoked to plow land, raised for milk and manure or harnessed to pull carts to move goods and people. The Ministry of Agriculture estimates that livestock contribute 5.3% to total GDP, up from 4.8% during 1980-81. But, says...
...made the tune complete. On May 2, 1908, the U.S. Copyright Office received two copies of their song - and most likely filed them away with the hundreds of other odes to baseball that had come before it. (Among the less popular: the largely forgotten "Baseball Polka," created by a Buffalo ballplayer.) "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," on the other hand, never quite went away. Norworth and von Tilzer peddled the song to vaudeville; actors, singers and even acrobats used it in their acts and it was even played during intermissions at nickelodeons, or early movie theaters.

Purists may say that in an era of niche hits, we are losing our cultural lingua franca, our national watercooler.

For Harvard diving, sophomore Zac Ranta took fifth place in the three-meter event on Saturday earning 25 points for the team. Ranta will compete at the NCAA Zone Diving Championships to be held in Buffalo, N.Y. March 12-14. “We came up a little short of our goal of beating Princeton,” said Jones of the Crimson’s overall performance. “I think we definitely fought hard throughout the weekend though and carried...
...Still, Ellis and other observers argue that the fiscal-2009 budget's level of earmarking is too high and that projects such as $1.8 million for swine odor and manure management in Iowa, $190,000 for the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Wyoming, $400,000 to combat bullying in Montana and $2.2 million to study grape genetics in New York are easily ridiculed and embarrassing. And they show the risk of one-party control of both the executive and legislative branches of government - which was amply demonstrated by George W. Bush and congressional Republicans...
