...limped in ninth of 10 runners whom he would have pulverized in his prime. The bleak result didn't diminish the ardor for the mahogany 7-year-old. Upon trotting back to the unsaddling yard, Silent Witness was given an emotional reception of cheers and tears. Railbirds, decked in owner Archie da Silva's green and black, waved Silent Witness flags and posters. Da Silva, a hard-headed Hong Kong businessman, wept. Trainer Tony Cruz, a Catholic, described his charge to local reporters as "a gift from...
...weeks ago, I witnessed a bizarre scene. As I crossed the Yard on my way to Lamont Library, I saw a dog stalking a squirrel while its owner stood close by. The dog crept forward stealthily, guided by an instinct that years of leashes and dog food could never completely suppress.

A pizza-shop owner can pinpoint his pitch to local diners who search for pepperoni, for instance. "Geo-targeting is huge," says Neisser. The company is also adding a mobile search tool that will eventually extend Panama's reach to cell phones. The new services should help Yahoo! close the revenue-per-search...
...chicken croquettes to chunks of pure beef. Pet-food makers insist that there is a little of the gourmand in every dog and cat, and last year they spent $52.5 million to advertise their argument-more than 80% of it on television ... The basic pitch is always to an owner's heart, not to his pocketbook. 'People always feel they have neglected their pet,' says Morris Levinson, president of Associated Products ... 'To help solve the guilt feelings, people want to feed their pet better-like themselves.' 'Who knows what greatness lives in the heart of a dog? We do,' runs...
