Mine That Bird at 50-1 turned a sloppy Churchill Downs track into his personal playground by winning the 135th Kentucky Derby Saturday in the second-biggest upset in America's most celebrated race. Calvin Borel guided the unheralded Kentucky-bred gelding along the rail in a dramatic stretch run to win the $2 million race by six-and-three-quarter lengths over Pioneerof the Nile.

Is the pork industrially globalized? That is, if you slaughter pigs in New Zealand, adjusting for transportation costs would this have the same effect on pork supplies in Thailand as if you slaughtered pigs in Brazil?
